Chapter 318 Transformation
After making the cake, Lin Xia finally had her hands free to go to the kitchen to make the braised pork. He Xiao saw her get up and follow her immediately. She had been getting a little restless since it was obvious that these people had no intention of helping, and she was too embarrassed to go alone.
As soon as Lin Xia entered the kitchen, she found that there was no place to stand. The four big men occupied the entire kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Several people were blocking the way so tightly that no one could see what was happening in the pot.
"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!" When Song Yu saw Lin Xia coming over, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. He was finally convinced by Lin Xia. Even a rough old man like Lu Yuxiu could be taught by her to be a cook, and the food tasted really good.
"You can do it too!" Lin Xia smiled and answered him after hearing his compliment, "Do you want to learn? You can also make it for your wife in the future."
Song Yu hesitated when he heard this. Washing vegetables and chopping wood were no problem, but cooking seemed not suitable for him, right?
"My wife loves to drink the soup I stew the most during her confinement period." Just as Song Yu was hesitating, Lu Yuxiu suddenly spoke up.
Song Yu immediately thought of his wife. Maybe she was pregnant too! He was going to be a father too! He turned his head and looked at Lin Xia with a sharp gaze, "Sister-in-law, I want to worship you as my master!"
Lin Xia didn't know what he had imagined, but she was happy to teach him how to cook. No matter which era it was, women always had more responsibilities in the family than men. There were many men who didn't do housework, and it was rare to have someone like Lu Yuxiu who would take the initiative to share the burden.
Now there is another person who actively asks for training. Lin Xia is very pleased. Comrade Song Yu has great prospects for reform and will definitely become a male role model in the new era!
"No problem!" Lin Xia agreed immediately.
Hearing this, Zhou Zheng looked at He Xiao behind Lin Xia. He also thought about how to take care of He Xiao if she became pregnant in the future.
He Xiao arrived a step late and only heard Lin Xia say that it was okay. He didn't know what the others had said before. He saw that several dishes had already been placed on the stove, which looked very tempting. He couldn't help but look at Lu Yuxiu in surprise.
I didn’t expect his cooking skills to be so good. I was surprised and curious.
After Lu Yuxiu finished the dish he was cooking, Lin Xia took over to prepare braised pork and coconut chicken. It was a ready-made teaching opportunity. Lin Xia explained the key points of cooking to Song Yu while cooking. She didn't notice that Zhou Zheng was listening very attentively beside her.
Wu Deye was very pleased to see this scene. That was great! From now on, he would not be the only one to be accused of being henpecked!
Lin Xia quickly prepared the braised pork and put it on the stove to simmer on low heat, then started to cook the coconut chicken again. This was much simpler. As long as the ingredients were good and clean, they could be put into the pot to cook. The taste depended entirely on the tenderness of the chicken and the fragrance of the coconut.
"This is good, this is good!" Song Yu saw that coconut chicken is so simple that you just need to put the ingredients in and cook it, and he immediately praised it! This dish is simple and is perfect for him!
He didn't think it was difficult when he saw the braised pork fried with sugar color just now. But when it came to seasoning, when he heard Lin Xia say something about adding the right amount of salt, a few slices of star anise, and a bay leaf, he felt dizzy. Cooking is more difficult than giving instructions to the soldiers!
"The difficulty of coconut chicken lies in the seasoning!" Seeing his thankful look, Lin Xia finally spoke, "When cooking coconut chicken, you should eat the meat and drink the soup first. The meat is delicious only when paired with sauce. Without the sauce, the taste will be monotonous."
After saying that, I took out a small bowl and prepared to teach him how to make the sauce, trying to make it as simple as possible for him, such as how many spoonfuls of soy sauce to use, how much sand ginger to put, and how many small lemons to put.
"That's it. If you want it to be sour, add more lemon. If you want it to be spicy, add more chili." Lin Xia took out clean chopsticks and tasted it. Yes, it was this taste. Sand ginger was indeed the soul. Lin Xia specially went to find it and planted it. It was the perfect match for coconut chicken.
Song Yu was already dizzy after listening to what Lin Xia said. Zhou Zheng silently memorized the key points that Lin Xia said and planned to put them into practice after returning home.
The coconut chicken in the pot slowly exuded a fragrance with the unique aroma of coconut. He Xiao had never smelled such a fragrance before. She had eaten coconut before, but she didn't expect that it could be used in cooking.
When the dishes are placed on the table, everyone has different feelings.
Except for Lu Yuxiu, the others had an indescribable feeling. They had eaten these dishes before, but they were all ready-made. Now they were the ones who cleaned and prepared the table, and watched the preparation step by step.
The sense of accomplishment from participating in the event made them feel that the food in front of them seemed to taste even better.
He Xiao's surprise was different from Han Wei's. She was surprised that the other dishes were made by Lu Yuxiu, while Han Wei was surprised that this table of dishes looked more tempting than those in the state-owned restaurant, and the fragrance made people drool.
Four or five little kids had already been holding their bowls and couldn't wait. Dajun and Xiaojun hadn't come to Aunt Lin's house for dinner for a long time. After smelling the delicious food, their stomachs growled. The two youngest ones couldn't help drooling. Fortunately, there were food bags hanging.
"Don't be polite, eat it while it's hot." Seeing that everyone was watching without moving their chopsticks, Lin Xia hurriedly greeted them.
A few dazed people suddenly woke up and began to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
As soon as the food entered their mouths, they immediately felt that it tasted better than before! Lin Xia was also used to the scene of no one talking during meals at her home, so the little ones also developed the habit of focusing on eating, without anyone worrying about them at all.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they all leaned back in their chairs with their round bellies.
He Xiao felt a little embarrassed. Before eating, she tried to be reserved so as not to be called impolite. However, everyone was busy eating with their heads down. In addition, Zhou Zheng was afraid that she would feel embarrassed to serve her some food, so he served her a lot of food. She ate too much without realizing it.
"I'll wash the dishes!" After resting for a while, Song Yu immediately stood up to clean up the dishes. It was a habit he had developed from eating for free, so he had to wash the dishes after eating.
Han Wei realized that she had done nothing, so she quickly stood up and helped Song Yu clean up. She hadn't expected to be busy before, and now she felt a little embarrassed after the meal.
"I'll do it too!" He Xiao stood up with a hot face and helped to clean up. She felt uneasy after eating and not working. She hadn't helped with cooking before, but now she finally had the chance.
"I'll do it, you go and take a rest." Zhou Zheng took the dishes and chopsticks from He Xiao's hand and told her to stop working.
"It's okay, I'll do it. I work very fast." He Xiao reached out to grab back the work that she had worked so hard to get, but Zhou Zheng was much taller than her and he couldn't beat her at all.
"Be careful or you might fall." Zhou Zhengjian couldn't persuade him anymore and said hurriedly.
