Chapter 66: Hot and Spicy Fish
Dong Yulan looked at Qibao lovingly.
What a little villain, her brothers are completely dominated by her.
Su Qingshan had already processed the big black carp in advance, washing it several times with clean water, and then came over to help his wife deal with the small fish.
There is strength in numbers, and eventually the small fish were dealt with.
Dong Yulan looked at the big black carp and felt a little worried: "My dear, if we can't finish eating this big black carp right away, will it go bad if we hide it?"
"Not bad!" Gu Qiqi shook her head and answered affirmatively.
Grandma is getting better and better at playing, and everyone knows to come to her for help!
Gu Qiqi was quite satisfied with the result.
"I knew my good girl was very capable. I'll cut a piece of fish meat later, and you can help grandma hide the rest!" Dong Yulan said happily.
Dong Yulan had already planned what to eat for lunch.
Take a piece of big black carp and slice it into slices to make a boiled fish fillet dish.
Small fish and shrimps are indispensable. Stir-frying small river shrimps with leeks is fragrant and delicious. Adding some green and red peppers and minced garlic to small fish will make it delicious.
It’s almost noon.
Su Mingmei was busy in the kindergarten for the whole afternoon and then walked home.
The preparation stage for the kindergarten is very busy, and there are many things to do, so there are no rest days. We can only have a normal rest after the actual preparations start, and the cafeteria is not yet equipped.
Fortunately, her mother prepared meals at home every day and waited for her to eat when she returned home.
Her parents are her strongest supporters. She doesn't have to worry about anything at home and just needs to take care of her work.
The sun is shining brightly.
Su Mingmei looked up at her home which was so close at hand, and a hint of warmth appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Director Su!"
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.
Qiaomai stepped forward and blocked Su Mingmei's way.
"Excuse me, please let me pass!" Su Mingmei said without showing any anger on her face, and tried to keep her voice as low as possible.
"Director Su, I'm sorry, I really have no other choice. The work of the kindergarten teachers is really important to me. Please help me!" Qiaomai begged, holding her bulging belly with one hand.
"This is the candy I bought specially to sweeten your child's mouth!" As he said that, Qiaomai stuffed the remaining half pound of candy into Su Mingmei's arms.
There was originally a pound of milk candy, but her mother-in-law found out and left half a pound for Hu Zi to eat.
Although half a pound of sugar is not a lot, it is White Rabbit milk candy after all!
Qiaomai was reluctant to do so, but for the sake of his work, he had to bear the pain and make the decision.
"No need for sugar, my child doesn't like it!" Su Mingmei dodged the sugar that Qiaomai handed to her.
"As for your job, I've said before that I'm not the only one who has the final say in the kindergarten. You have to follow the procedures for everything and select people based on their abilities!"
"Director Su, as a director, how can you not have this little power? You don't want to help me at all, or do you think my gift is too small?" Qiaomai's voice was soft and weak, but she was convinced in her heart that Su Mingmei thought her gift was not enough.
Qiaomai suddenly felt a little resentful towards her mother-in-law. If she hadn't withheld the half pound of sugar, perhaps Director Su would have agreed.
"Oh, you're back. We've been waiting for you to eat. The children are hungry. Hurry home!" Dong Yulan heard voices outside the door. She opened the door and saw her daughter who was blocked by Qiaomai.
"It's time for dinner, you should go home and eat!" Dong Yulan took Su Mingmei's hand, walked around Qiaomai, and went home without looking back.
As soon as he entered the door, he slammed the door shut.
"What delicious food is made? It smells so good?" Su Mingmei sniffed subconsciously.
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan were happily eating watermelons.
"Mom, come and eat some watermelon, it's so sweet!" Gu Jinan shouted to his mother while chewing the watermelon in his mouth.
"Are the watermelons in our garden ripe?" Su Mingmei looked surprised.
After returning from the kindergarten, Su Mingmei felt hot and thirsty. She walked into the main room, picked up the cut watermelon on the table and took a bite.
The sweet juice spread in her mouth, icy and cool, and Su Mingmei felt like she was coming back to life.
"Hurry up and clear the table, we're going to eat!" Su Qingshan came in with a pot of boiled fish fillets and shouted.
"Dad, did you catch any fish?" Su Mingmei's eyes lit up.
A large pot of boiled fish fillets was placed on the table. The bright red chili oil and the golden fish fillets were intertwined, and the surface was dotted with chopped coriander and green onions, forming a gorgeous painting.
Each piece of fish meat looked like a carefully carved work of art, crystal clear and lustrous, which made Su Mingmei swallow her saliva.
"Call the Xiao Tuan couple next door. You haven't thanked them properly for your work yet!"
Dong Yulan muttered to herself as she held a plate of river shrimp with leeks in one hand and a plate of spicy small fish in the other.
"So many dishes?" Su Mingmei's eyes widened.
It seems that her father and two children gained a lot from their outing today.
"Is the rice cooked enough? Call me, I'll go call them right away!" After Su Mingmei finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to go to the next room to call someone.
Finally, he saw Xiao Qibao and pulled her along.
Bai Xiumei was just about to go out to the cafeteria to get food when she heard Su Mingmei's invitation and she happily accepted it immediately.
When Gu Jianguo and Xiao Tuan came back, everyone gathered at the table and started eating.
In addition to these fish and shrimp, Dong Yulan also fried two other vegetarian dishes, one was water spinach with garlic, and the other was eggplant with beans.
There are many vegetables in the vegetable garden, so it’s just a matter of burning two more pieces of firewood.
As soon as Xiao Tuan and Bai Xiumei entered the door, Su Mingmei handed each of them a piece of watermelon: "Quench your thirst first and then eat!"
"You even have watermelons. You live a comfortable life!" Xiao Tuan exclaimed sincerely.
"Sweet, really sweet! This is my first time eating watermelon this year!" Bai Xiumei took a bite and squinted her eyes happily.
If she were to say, the Gu family is quite powerful.
Not only is Gu Jianguo personally capable, Su Mingmei is also capable of both housework and cooking, and the old couple Uncle Su, one who can grow vegetables and the other who can cook, manage the household very well.
When Bai Xiumei saw the food on the table, her eyes widened with greed.
"The food is so good, with fish and shrimps!" Xiao Tuan's face was full of surprise.
There are really not many restaurants in the compound that offer such good food.
"Haha, I went fishing by the river this morning. I was lucky!" Su Qingshan did not hide it and said it bluntly.
He had observed that Xiao Tuan and his wife were both very sensible people.
Moreover, both of them have seen the world and are not narrow-minded like most people. They are both very tolerant and take special care of their family.
"That's really lucky. We are in for a treat today. I won't be polite to you!" Xiao Tuan nodded and couldn't wait to pick up the fish with his chopsticks.
The crystal clear fish fillet trembles between the chopsticks, making people salivate...
It's tender and delicate as soon as you take a bite, with a strong aroma of chili and Sichuan pepper, as if your taste buds are cheering.
Hot, spicy and delicious, you can’t stop eating it!
