Chapter 167 Family Status
If you ask others, An An doesn't know, but she knows who washes the dishes. She said in a childish voice, "Dad washes the dishes."
Lu Yuxiu had just finished looking at the stone mill and found it too big to move, so he thought of going directly to Wu Deye's house later. As soon as he entered the house, he heard the little guy talking about washing dishes.
Remembering that neither of them was married, Lu Yuxiu felt that he needed to help them. Later, they would wash the dishes after dinner.
After all, this is for their own good. I believe they will be grateful to me when they get married.
Seeing Lu Yuxiu coming back, Song Yu smiled and teased him: "I didn't expect Captain Lu to still wash dishes at home?"
It was really unexpected that the famous cold-faced Captain Lu in the team had such a status at home. Song Yu thought he had caught Lu Yuxiu's joke and laughed so hard that even Zhou Zheng was a little surprised.
"Do you still want to eat? Get to work!" Lu Yuxiu urged Song Yu immediately when he saw him slowing down.
After saying that, he did not slack off. He sat down to work on the coconuts. The three of them divided the work and worked much faster.
Song Yu looked at the coconuts in his hand and asked curiously, "What did sister-in-law do with so many coconuts? Are you getting them to eat?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Lu Yuxiu didn't know what Lin Xia wanted to do.
"You don't know either, do you?" Song Yu looked at Lu Yuxiu suspiciously, and even Zhou Zheng looked at him.
"......"
"Hahaha, so you didn't know either." Song Yu laughed as if he had discovered a new continent.
Before Lin Xia and Wang Guilan reached home, they heard hearty laughter coming from the yard. It sounded a little familiar, but it was not Lu Yuxiu's voice.
"Xiao Song is here? Doctor Zhou." Lin Xia looked at the people in the yard and was a little surprised. Then she smiled and said, "Thank you so much for troubling you."
"Hehe~ Sister-in-law is not troublesome, it's you who is cooking that is more troublesome." Song Yu touched his head and smiled. Thinking of those delicious foods, he worked harder.
"Then eat more at noon, and don't be polite, Doctor Zhou." Lin Xia looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile.
"Sorry to trouble you, Comrade Lin." Zhou Zheng felt a little embarrassed. He was not as outgoing as Song Yu.
Lu Yuxiu had already stood up and took the things from Lin Xia's hand, and followed her into the house. "Are you tired?"
"It's okay. Why didn't you tell me earlier that they were coming to eat so I could buy some more vegetables." Lin Xia felt a little embarrassed. She bought a lot of vegetables, but she was worried that it wouldn't be enough for two more young people.
"It's okay, this is enough." Lu Yuxiu took a look and saw that Lin Xia bought a lot of seafood, meat and a chicken, which was a lot.
There were enough meat dishes, but not enough vegetables. Lin Xia thought for a moment and turned to go out: "I'll go to Sister Yang's house to get some vegetables."
Yang Hongmei planted her vegetables earlier than hers, and several of them are edible now, unlike hers which are just beginning to bear fruit.
Wang Guilan heard this and knew that they had to treat the two people outside to a meal, so she asked, "Should I cook the chicken first?"
"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law. By the way, please keep the chicken blood and don't throw it away." Lin Xia heard that and saw that she could cook chicken, so she left some instructions.
Carrying the basket of vegetables, I went out to Yang Hongmei's house.
"Sister-in-law, please lend me some vegetables. I will return them to you when the crops on my land are harvested." Lin Xia said to Yang Hongmei with a smile.
"You're so polite to me. I'll go pick some vegetables for you right away." Seeing that Lin Xia was not feeling well, Yang Hongmei quickly got up and went to help pick the vegetables.
A pile of eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers filled Lin Xia's basket.
Seeing that she wanted to continue picking, Lin Xia immediately stopped her: "That's enough, sister-in-law, there are too many."
Yang Hongmei picked another handful of beans and was trying to find a way to put them down.
Lin Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is too much, thank you sister-in-law."
"If it's not enough, bring more." With plenty of sunshine, as long as we water the vegetables enough, we will never be able to eat them all.
Lin Xia returned home carrying a basket of vegetables. When she got home, the chicken had been cooked and Wang Guilan was plucking it.
Lin Xia collected the chicken feathers, which would be useful if washed.
The two were busy in the kitchen. Lu Yuxiu saw that the work outside was almost done, so he got up and went to the kitchen to see if they needed help.
"The outside is done, what about the back?"
Lin Xia's eyes lit up when she heard this. It was true that there was strength in numbers. If she had tried to do this alone, it would have taken her forever.
Seeing that Wang Guilan was busy, Lin Xia was no longer in a hurry and got up to go out to take a look.
"Sister-in-law, you're here, look how clean it is." Song Yu thought she was going to cook, so he immediately smiled and took credit for it.
Lin Xia smiled when she heard that and looked over. In the basin was white coconut meat cut into small pieces. Even the skin was peeled very cleanly. It seemed that they were really meant to be cooked and eaten.
"Well, I'll make something to eat for you when the time comes." Thinking of a small pastry, Lin Xia smiled.
As soon as these words came out, Song Yu was very happy. He knew that there was indeed something delicious.
Lu Yuxiu and the other two went to Wu Deye's house again and ground the coconut meat into coconut milk according to Lin Xia's instructions.
Lin Xia returned to the kitchen and cooked with Wang Guilan. She just cut the vegetables, and Wang Guilan was responsible for the cleaning and dishes.
After looking at the ingredients, Lin Xia was thinking about what to cook. He could have some braised pork with abalone. If there wasn't enough meat, he could use abalone. This would be the best dish.
She also planned to make a clay pot chicken and spread some pancakes on top so that she would have some staple food as well.
Steam scallop vermicelli, steam eggplant, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Only use the egg yolk, the egg white is also useful.
The shrimps are stir-fried directly with chili peppers to make spicy shrimps.
Minced meat and green beans go well with rice, smashed cucumber is spicy and refreshing, and there is also a seaweed, scallop and shrimp soup, Lin Xia has a total of nine dishes.
The two were busy in the kitchen. Lin Xia was happy when she thought that her coconut oil would be ready in no time, and she went into the kitchen with all her energy.
Wang Guilan was helping on the side, her eyes fixed on Lin Xia waving the shovel.
Braised pork requires slow cooking over low heat. After frying the braised pork in a pan, Lin Xia put it into a casserole together with the abalone and simmered it over low heat on the stove.
Heat oil in a pan, add onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant. Lin Xia puts the shrimps with the shrimp thread removed into the pan and stir-frys them. She then adds a spoonful of homemade chili sauce, and the spicy flavor comes out immediately.
Wang Guilan felt like her mouth was watering. She also thought about how good Lin Xia was at cooking. No wonder they were asked to cook when they were selected.
Smelling the fragrance, Wang Guilan knew that her cooking skills were probably only slightly better than Xiao Wang's wife's, which was why she was chosen by Lin Xia. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Lin Xia did not avoid her when cooking, and she found that many of her methods were different.
For example, when making braised pork, she would blanch it in water, and she would cut the abalone with a knife. When cooking meat dishes, she would add onions, ginger and garlic. Although she didn't quite understand what she was saying, the fragrance she smelled was real, it was so delicious!
The three people working at the grindstone next door also smelled it. It was the first time that Lu Yuxiu discovered that he could clearly smell the aroma of home cooking from outside, and he knew right away that it must have been made by Lin Xia.
Wu Deye was watching from the side, and when he smelled the fragrance he said with emotion: "Your wife must have made something delicious."
It has been a long time since I have smelled such a rich fragrance.
