"Mom, let me cook at noon." Xu Ying ran over coquettishly. In order to unlock the space and recipes as soon as possible, she was willing to cook ten dishes a day.
Before Xu's mother had the time to refuse, the radish in her hand was taken away by Xu Ying.
Seeing her daughter enter the kitchen, Xu's mother's eyebrows twitched. It was not that she didn't want her daughter to cook, but it really consumed too much oil.
Although it tastes good, it's expensive.
"My daughter, how about I cook for you and you go and have a rest?" Mother Xu blinked her eyes with a hint of pleading.
Xu Ying chuckled and shook her head to refuse: "Mom, didn't you want me to learn cooking before?
I read some food books a few days ago, and now I cook for you, aren't you happy?"
Xu's mother choked: "Of course I'm happy, but..."
Before Xu's mother finished speaking, Xu Ying said, "Mom, as long as you are happy, I will take care of lunch and dinner for the family from now on. I found that I have a talent for cooking, and cooking is also very interesting."
"If you like it, then do it!" Xu's mother said helplessly.
Forget it, it’s a waste of fuel. She can save more money to buy fuel in the future.
Xu Ying happily took two radishes into the house, and when she thought of radish recipes, it seemed that the only one was chicken stewed with radish soup, but everyone in the family had already eaten it, so it was impossible to add extra points at the moment.
By the way, she had spicy fried rabbit meat at her second uncle’s house last time, but hadn’t had the stewed chicken soup yet.
There were two pheasants and two fish left at home, and eighteen wild duck eggs left.
For lunch, I made pheasant meat stewed with radish and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
There are only the last batch of tomatoes left in the vegetable garden. Once they are picked, they will be gone.
Xu Ying asked her mother to help pick tomatoes and Shitou to help light the fire, and she prepared to stew chicken soup.
Following the previous method, as soon as the pheasant soup was stewed, a faint fragrance wafted from it.
Mother Xu smelled the fragrance and walked into the kitchen. She saw that there was one tablespoon less oil on the chopping board and her heart was bleeding.
Her daughter doesn't manage the household and doesn't know how expensive oil, salt, firewood and rice are.
There is no other way, you have to spoil your own child.
"My daughter, what do you want tomatoes for?" Mother Xu looked at the pheasant soup stewing on the stove and felt curious.
"Let's have some scrambled eggs with tomatoes. We happen to have quite a few wild duck eggs at home." Xu Ying said as she took five duck eggs, cracked them open and poured them into the bowl.
Mother Xu felt distressed again.
"Okay, okay, if you want to eat it, we'll make it." After saying this, Xu's mother endured the pain and left the house.
Shi Tou, who was standing by, tried hard to hold back his laughter when he saw this scene.
Xu Ying didn't know what was going on. She picked up the tomatoes, washed them, and cut them into small pieces.
Then put the chicken soup in the back and simmer it on low heat. Put another pot on the stove in the front. After the oil is hot, add the eggs directly and stir-fry them into small pieces.
Put the fried eggs on a plate and set aside. Then add tomatoes over high heat, add a small amount of sugar and stir-fry to release the juice. Then pour in the eggs and add a little salt to season. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes are ready.
"Shi Tou, have a taste and see if it's delicious." Xu Ying picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and put it in Shi Tou's mouth with great anticipation.
"How about it?"
"Well, it's delicious. It's fresh and sweet, but not greasy. It also has a salty taste. Anyway, it's delicious." Shi Tou said with sparkling eyes.
【Good Perception +1.】
When Xu Ying heard the system prompt, her mouth curved with smile.
She is only twenty minutes away from unlocking a new recipe, and the area corresponding to the recipe will also be unlocked.
Well, not bad, keep up the good work.
"Mom, try the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that I made."
"Huzi, you try it too."
【Good perception +1, +1, +1. 】
"Is it delicious?" Xu Ying's mouth was bent with joy.
When Xu's mother saw her daughter so happy, she realized that her daughter loved cooking so much.
Xu Ying smiled proudly and brought the prepared chicken soup and scrambled eggs with tomatoes to the table.
The staple food is relatively simple, steamed corn bread made from cornmeal.
"Little sister, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good." Brother Xu took a deep breath and said happily.
Father Xu also had a look of anticipation on his face. In the past, he was always exhausted after coming back from work, but now, as soon as he smelled this fragrance after coming back from work, all the fatigue in his body disappeared instantly.
"What are you making? Chicken soup. How can it not be delicious?" Xu's mother said unhappily.
These brats are really lucky. They are so grown up, but they still want to eat her daughter's food.
Brother Xu chuckled and swallowed involuntarily.
"Mom, please send some chicken soup to my grandpa and grandma." Xu Ying ran out with half a basin of pheasant soup.
Seeing her daughter act first and report later, what else could Xu's mother say? She waved her hands helplessly and said, "Go, go."
When Xu Ying heard her mother agree, she immediately ran out happily with the chicken soup.
When Xu's mother saw this scene, a mouthful of blood rushed to her heart. She originally thought that her daughter had been considerate after falling into the river once, but this was too considerate.
When she gets something good, she doesn't think about how to enjoy it, but thinks about others, and only thinks about herself last. She still hopes that her daughter can be more selfish and not be so sensible.
Look at how thin her daughter has become these days.
The more Xu's mother thought about it, the angrier she became, and she glared at the man with a fierce face.
Father Xu was glared at by his daughter-in-law and looked depressed. What had he done to offend her?
"Hehe, let's eat first!" Father Xu said in front of his son, trying to save a little dignity.
As soon as these words came out, Xu's mother rolled her eyes and said, "My daughter hasn't come back yet, what are you going to eat? Wait for me and eat when she comes back."
Father Xu's face froze: "Listen to your mother, wait until your little sister comes back before eating."
After saying this, Father Xu went back to the house.
Xu Ying carried the basket and hummed a little tune as she walked towards the old house. She walked fast and arrived in just a few minutes.
"Grandma." Xu Ying shouted happily.
When Zhao Lingling heard the voice, she quickly opened the door. Seeing that it was Xu Ying, she asked with a smile, "Yingying, why are you here? Have you had lunch?"
"I'll bring some chicken soup to grandma so she can eat it when she gets home." Xu Ying said as she handed her the basket.
Zhao Lingling took the basket, and the fragrant aroma made her swallow her saliva.
"Is it Yingying?" Old Mrs. Xu's strong and old voice rang out.
Xu Ying's eyes flashed and she quickly went to the main room.
"Grandma." Xu Ying saw Old Lady Xu running over affectionately and reached out to hold her arm.
When Old Mrs. Xu felt the small hand on her arm, she was slightly stunned.
Old man Xu in the room also showed a trace of surprise on his face, then he smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law said you are better, and now it seems that you are really better."
There was a hidden meaning in these words, and Xu Ying understood what they meant in an instant.
Before she met Dong Zhiqing, although Xu Ying had a bad temper, she was particularly close to her family.
But since she met Dong Zhiqing, Dong Zhiqing was the only one in her eyes, and she had been to the old house only a few times in the past few years.
The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she said with a nasal tone, "Well, I know I was wrong, and I will not associate with Dong Zhiqing anymore."
Xu Jianjun was standing at the door and eavesdropping. When he heard Xu Ying say that she would no longer have any contact with Dong Zhiqing, his mouth stretched to the back of his ears.
"Yingying, you have a good ideological consciousness. Look at what you have become since you met Dong Zhiqing. You don't even care about us elders anymore."
"Uncle, I'm sorry." Xu Ying looked at her uncle coquettishly. Her two pairs of soft and cute eyes melted Xu Jianjun's heart.
"It's good that you know you were wrong." Xu Jianjun said seriously.
