Chapter 78 Han Jinghuai Wants a Wife
In the evening, Xu Wanning braised some pig offal in advance to serve as a snack for Xu's father and others.
I also stewed a braised pork elbow. I stewed it until the meat was soft and rotten, then cooked it over high heat until the sauce thickened and it was ready to be served.
Xu's mother personally went into the kitchen and cooked a pot of lotus root and pork ribs soup. After it was done, she specially served a small bowl to her to taste.
"Ningning, how about trying it?"
"This pink lotus root can only be eaten here. You won't be able to eat it when you return to North City."
Xu Wanning nodded when she heard this. This pink lotus root soup was indeed delicious, but it was a pity that pink lotus root could only be eaten in the south, while people in the north only ate crispy lotus root.
"Mom, this pork rib soup tastes good, and the lotus root is delicious too."
Mother Xu looked at her softly and smiled, then said:
"Eat more if you want. I'll make you another pot tomorrow."
Xu Wanning waved her hands quickly. She didn't dare to eat anymore. Her appetite had been getting bigger and bigger recently. She had eaten a whole bowl of pork and green onion dumplings made by Xu's mother at noon!
"Mom, no need. Look at me, I've gained weight. If I eat any more, I'll become a big fat girl."
Mother Xu touched her daughter's hair lovingly. Her precious daughter was indeed a little fatter than when she went to the countryside.
But this shows that I'm living a pretty good life. I used to be too thin and often picky about food. Since I came back from the countryside, I've become even more picky about food.
"Girls shouldn't be too thin. A little fatter looks better and brings more luck."
Xu Wanning felt that these words were so familiar. She remembered that many parents in later generations said this to young people.
This is also what her parents in her previous life told her. At that time, she loved beauty and often went on a diet to lose weight.
Then Xu Wanning made a pot of spicy chicken, fried two plates of vegetables, and steamed a pot of rice.
Thinking that men like Mr. Xu should have a big appetite, I specially steamed some more rice.
After a while, Mr. Xu came back with two old friends. When he saw the table full of local dishes and several bottles of local wine, he was very happy.
"Ningning, you made this dish, right?"
"Your uncles and I could smell the aroma of meat from a long distance away. I immediately guessed it was coming from our house."
"Here are two bottles of Moutai?"
At this time, Xu's mother came out of the kitchen, glared at him, and said with a smile:
"Old Xu, just be happy. This Moutai liquor was bought for you by your daughter at the department store yesterday."
A man with a square face and pale hair, about fifty years old, heard this and said jokingly:
"Old Xu, you're in for a treat! Look at the food your daughter cooked. I haven't even tried it yet, but I'm drooling just by smelling it."
Xu Wanning walked up, smiled sweetly, and then greeted him.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Shengli showed a kind smile on his face when he heard this. This girl from the Xu family had grown up in everyone's care.
