Chapter 146 Free Your Hands
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he smelled a rich fragrance. Lu Yuxiu didn't bother to be polite with him and asked him to help serve the dishes.
Lu Yuxiu saw a clay pot on the coal stove and took it out without opening the lid. Lin Xia saw them busy in the living room and said, "There are steamed buns and vegetables in the pot."
The delicious food on the table made Song Yu drool like crazy. It was so fragrant that he immediately regretted missing the last treat.
"Don't be polite, Xiao Song, try this." Seeing that Song Yu seemed a little embarrassed to take action, Lin Xia pushed the casserole with her hand.
The pig's trotter in the casserole was red and shiny. Because of Lin Xia's pushing, the pig skin was trembling, and it looked soft and tender, with rich sauce on it.
Lin Xia picked up a piece and gave it to the little one who had been staring at her eagerly, and quickly put it into her bowl, fearing that the sauce on it would fall and drip onto the table.
Song Yu didn't hesitate to hear that. He picked up a piece of pig's trotter. The rosy skin and flesh bounced back and forth. He put it in his mouth without biting it with his teeth. With a gentle suck, the skin and flesh were sucked into his mouth. It was soft, glutinous, salty and fresh, and melted in his mouth.
The little guy's eyes lit up after taking a bite. It smelled so good and tasted so good! The little guy shook his head in satisfaction, and his feet under the table shook involuntarily.
Song Yu could no longer speak. He felt his lips were sealed by the gelatin of the pig's trotter and he could not speak.
Lu Yuxiu had a deep understanding of his wife's cooking skills, but he was always conquered by the dishes he had never eaten before.
I never thought that pig's trotters could be so delicious! After eating pig's trotters, I ate pickled fish. The sour and numbing taste instantly dissipated the heavy taste of pig's trotters. The soybean powder was soft and glutinous, and it was sweet and soft when eaten with the sauce.
The fish meat was snow-white, tender and smooth, without any bones, and the sauerkraut also tasted delicious.
The shrimp vermicelli stew is fresh and tasty, the smashed cucumber is refreshing, the roasted eggplant has a sweet aftertaste, and the sauce is rich.
Song Yu was completely conquered by Lin Xia's cooking skills. No wonder Lu Yuxiu went home as soon as he got off work and stopped playing basketball. With such a simple life, who would go out to play basketball and not go home?
He vaguely remembered that Lu Yuxiu got married through a blind date, but he didn't know who introduced him. Could someone introduce one to him as well?
Lin Xia looked at the empty plates on the table, worried that they were not full. "Are you full? If not, you can order some noodles."
Song Yu's face turned slightly red and he waved his hands quickly. He was already very full, but it was just too delicious and he couldn't help it.
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. I am already exhausted."
The little one was holding his belly and nodding along, his face chubby.
Remembering that Lu Yuxiu had asked him for help with something, Song Yu decided that for the sake of this meal, he would help with anything as long as it did not violate the military rules and regulations!
"Nothing else, I just want you to bring some things back next time you go to Guangcheng." Seeing his serious expression, as if he was ready to go through fire and water, Lu Yuxiu said lightly.
"Huh?" Song Yu was stunned when he heard this. So simple? He was a little unconvinced.
The main reason is that today’s food is rich and delicious, it feels like a Hongmen Banquet.
Lin Xia was amused by his expression. Did he think it was something very complicated?
Lu Yuxiu raised the corners of his lips, and a hint of smile flashed across his eyes.
Song Yu reached out and touched his head, and felt that his previous thoughts were a bit exaggerated.
"Don't be polite, sister-in-law. Just tell me what you want to bring next time." Song Yu didn't expect this to happen. He just felt that he had made a fortune. He thought that such good things could happen more often.
When Song Yu left, Lin Xia took a bag of dried mangoes and a bag of dried fish away. She was so happy when she left.
Even though Lu Yuxiu was not very happy, he also loved eating dried fish. Lin Xia smiled and promised to make more. Lu Yuxiu nodded, and did not let Lin Xia intervene, and stood up to clear the dishes on the table.
Lin Xia did not refuse his kindness, but she had eaten a little too much. After making some mango tea, Lin Xia got up and went to the yard to water the vegetables as a way to help digest the food.
Just then, she saw a tomato that had been stepped on, and the pepper next to it had several branches broken off, with small white flowers hanging on them and the tips of the peppers in the middle of the flowers. Lin Xia felt a little distressed when she saw it, as it would be ready to be eaten soon.
"An An, come here." It was necessary to take a preventive measure, otherwise Lin Xia was afraid that there would be only a few vegetables left.
When An An heard her mother calling, she came running over with her short legs, her black and white eyes blinking at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia almost couldn't say anything. She took a deep breath, pointed at the broken pepper and said softly, "Look, the peppers are growing. It won't be long before we can eat peppers."
When An An heard this, she came forward to take a look with curiosity. She saw a green bulge in the middle of the small flower and looked at it again and again with a look of wonder on her face.
"Chili baby!"
Then I discovered that there was something wrong with the branch behind the pepper. It was broken but not completely broken, and the skin on it was still connected.
The little guy looked at Lin Xia in panic, "Mom, it's broken."
Lin Xia took a closer look and said with regret, "Ah, the baby peppers won't grow up, and we won't have any to eat."
Hearing this, the little guy's face showed both heartache and anger. It was hard to tell whether he was angry about not having food to eat or about not growing up.
An An looked at Lin Xia for help, "Mom, why is it broken here?"
"Well, I just don't know who has been here. Mom didn't see it and doesn't know." Lin Xia pretended to shake her head in distress.
The little fellow frowned, thought for a long time, and said uncertainly: "It seems... it seems that when we played blind man's game in the afternoon, Shitou came here, and I came here too... and Yaya came here too..."
"Who did that?"
An An had a guilty look on his face, and after a few seconds of hesitation he said, "I...I don't remember either."
"That's okay. Just be careful next time you play, okay? Look, the cherry tomato is broken too." Lin Xia pointed to a tomato that was stepped on next to her, with a few green fruits on it.
The little guy was about to nod in agreement when he saw that the tomato was also broken. His face was even more distressed. He touched the tomato with his little hand reluctantly, "Mom, I was wrong. We will be careful."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Lin Xia stopped talking. It was possible that they had gotten it by accident while playing, so a reminder was enough.
When Lu Yuxiu came out, he saw Lin Xia watering the plants. He walked over and took the kettle, taking her place. "Are you tired? Leave these tasks until I come back. Don't get tired."
"It's okay, I'm trying to digest the food." Her waist isn't that sore now, but when it starts to hurt later, she won't be able to do it even if she is asked to.
As they were talking, Yang Hongmei came to visit, with a smile on her face, followed by Dajun and Xiaojun.
The two children saw An An in the vegetable garden and ran over. The third child squatted there and muttered to himself.
Lin Xia invited Yang Hongmei to sit in the corridor and brought out a cup of mango tea to help digestion.
"Let me tell you, that pig's trotter is so delicious. You don't know that after Old Wu finished his meal, he took the initiative to wash the dishes! Otherwise, how could I have the time to come visit you now." Yang Hongmei held the cup and drank water happily, finally freeing her hands.
