Chapter 172 A table of delicious food, capturing Bai Xiuli
"Are you angry? You're so cute, but you're just there to be pinched, right?" Bai Xiuli raised her eyebrows with a teasing look in her eyes.
"Let's eat first, or the food will get cold!" Dong Yulan reminded in time.
Many of them are meat dishes. The temperature has not risen after the New Year, and the dishes will not taste good if they get cold!
A group of people walked towards the main room.
Bai Xiuli took Qibao to wash their hands.
Wow, this little fleshy hand feels so comfortable to touch!
The more Bai Xiuli looked at Qibao, the more she liked him. Of course, his little expression when he was angry was even cuter.
"Can you wash yourself?" Leading the little girl to the washbasin, Bai Xiuli stood aside and stared at her, with no intention of helping.
Gu Qiqi's mouth twitched, she rolled up her sleeves and started washing herself.
"Although she looks cute, she can take care of herself well!" Bai Xiuli nodded with admiration in her eyes.
The dining table was filled with dishes.
Braised herring pieces, stewed potatoes with cured rabbit meat, Chinese cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, stewed dried beans, stir-fried small river shrimps, and scrambled eggs with onions!
At first glance, all six dishes are hard work!
The staple food is steamed corn steamed buns.
The table is full of delicious food.
"Eat quickly, don't be polite!" Dong Yulan invited everyone to eat.
Bai Xiuli was helping to light the fire in the kitchen, and her appetite had already been aroused.
As the call to eat started, she picked up the chopsticks without hesitation and reached for the herring piece she had been waiting for for a long time.
The marinated herring pieces have a salty and rich flavor. The numbing taste of the Sichuan peppercorns, the fragrance of the garlic cloves, and the spicy taste of the green and red peppers are intertwined together, making the herring pieces particularly rich in flavor.
When you take a bite, the tender meat of the herring is mixed with a little bit of fat, and it feels juicy in your mouth.
Bai Xiuli's eyes lit up. The taste of the food was completely beyond her expectations.
Bai Xiumei ate while paying attention to her sister.
From her expression, you can tell that she is very satisfied with the food cooked by Aunt Dong.
That’s right, even in Beijing, there are few people who are better than my aunt’s cooking skills.
After eating the herring pieces, add a handful of small river shrimp.
The unique deliciousness of the small river shrimps jumps on the tip of your tongue. As you chew them gently, you can almost taste the sweetness of the river water and the freshness of the shrimp meat. Add to that the aromas of leeks and chilies blending together, creating an indescribable deliciousness.
Delicious, really delicious!
"This is my aunt's cooking skill!" Bai Xiuli gave Dong Yulan a thumbs up while eating.
"If you like it, eat more. I'm happy when you enjoy the food!" Dong Yulan was in a good mood.
Su Mingyuan also concentrated on eating the whole time. His heart and eyes were completely focused on the food, which made Su Qingshan and Su Mingmei speechless.
Asking him to come back doesn't mean he should come back just to eat.
When there are guests here, can't you be tactful enough to greet them?
After the meal, everyone was full!
Xiao Tuan and Gu Jianguo stayed for a while and then returned to the group.
Bai Xiumei looked at her sister and said, "I will go back to the art troupe later. If you are bored, you can play at my house. If you are sleepy, you can go back to the next room and sleep."
Bai Xiumei said this and threw the house key to Bai Xiuli.
Bai Xiuli took it and said, "Why don't you stay home and rest for a while?"
Bai Xiumei shook her head: "The troupe has a performance, and we are a bit busy these few days. You can just come to my house for dinner in the next few days, and I will not care about you!"
Bai Xiuli was stunned. Just abandon her at her aunt's house like that?
When did her sister become so casual? Isn’t she afraid of causing trouble to her aunt and others?
"I'd better go to the cafeteria to eat. You can do your own thing and don't worry about me. I won't be here for a few days and will go back to Beijing!"
Although her aunt's cooking is delicious, she would rather eat coarse food and feel more comfortable eating in the cafeteria than have to bother her with it every day.
"What are you talking about? Just come to my house to eat. If you really feel bad, just give us food and coupons like Mo did. We have to eat too, so we can always add an extra pair of chopsticks!"
Dong Yulan, who was standing by, heard this and quickly advised.
"Yes, just listen to me. I'll bring all the food and other things to you later, and you can just eat them without worry. If you really feel bad, just help with some work!" Bai Xiumei made the final decision.
I tricked her all the way here from Beijing, not just to let her eat in the cafeteria!
Bai Xiuli nodded: "Then I'll go wash the dishes!"
"How can you let a girl do the job of washing dishes? Just let Mingyuan do it, you little brat, hurry up!" Su Qingshan, who was sitting in the main room, couldn't help but say to his son.
Su Mingyuan, who was assigned a task, looked depressed: "What's wrong with girls? Women hold up half the sky. Dad, don't underestimate Comrade Bai!"
Su Qingshan glared: "Are you going or not?"
"Go, go, go. Can't I go?" Su Mingyuan compromised in a second.
Usually after dinner his mother would rush to wash the dishes and it would never be his turn!
When he came back this time, for some reason, he felt that his father was deliberately targeting him.
Su Qingshan and a few others were sitting there, while Su Mingyuan was cleaning up the dishes by himself.
Bai Xiuli couldn't bear to watch it, so she helped to clean up.
Su Mingmei and Bai Xiumei looked at each other and were happy to see it happen.
Bai Xiuli helped collect the dishes while Su Mingyuan washed the dishes in the kitchen.
We had almost finished our lunch, with only a few corn buns left.
Su Mingyuan scooped the hot water from the back pot of the large iron pot into the front pot, put all the plates and bowls in the pot and soaked them in the hot water, then took the dishcloth and carefully washed them one by one.
Su Mingyuan is 1.83 meters tall. He stood in front of the big iron pot. The stove was a bit low, so he was forced to bend over when washing the dishes.
He looks handsome yet a little funny as he works seriously.
Bai Xiuli took a rag and wiped the dining table clean.
He picked up the broom and swept away the fish bones and rice residues on the floor of the main room.
The elderly couple Dong Yulan and his wife looked more and more satisfied.
What a good girl!
Work efficiently and without pretense!
Bai Xiumei and Su Mingmei sat for a while and then went out to work.
Qibao didn't go to the nursery in the afternoon.
Daycare is not as comfortable as home. The children there cry and make noise, which gives her a headache. She regretted going there once.
Su Qingshan and Dong Yulan took Bai Xiuli to chat in the main room.
On the table were hazelnuts and pine nuts that had been roasted before the New Year.
Bai Xiuli usually likes to eat things like melon seeds, but rarely eats hazelnuts and pine nuts, after all, they are not available very often on the market.
Bai Xiuli was already full at noon, and could not resist her aunt's enthusiastic invitation, so she grabbed a handful of pine nuts and started eating them.
Once you eat it, you'll become addicted!
"These pine nuts are so fragrant, each one is plump, and fried at just the right temperature!" Bai Xiuli couldn't help but praise while eating the pine nuts.
The good food she ate today was more than what she ate in a month in the army!
"Haha, right? There are hazelnuts next to it. You can put some in your pocket and eat them slowly. I have a lot more at home!" Dong Yulan said with a smile.
