Chapter 9 Dinner Shows Off!
Seeing that everyone liked it, especially the three children, Qin Zhizhi served them a bowl of fish balls and asked them to eat in the yard.
Originally, she wanted to serve some to Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Gu, but the two refused and stayed in the kitchen to continue helping.
Next, Qin Zhizhi prepared to make crucian carp and radish soup.
As soon as Qin Zhizhi said she needed radishes, Gu's mother went directly to the vegetable garden behind to help her pull them out, while Qin's mother stayed behind to help with the fire.
"Grandma, turn down the heat. I'm going to fry this crucian carp." Qin Zhizhi secretly exchanged a little bit of lard with the system using her mind.
While Gu's mother was not in the kitchen, she quickly put it in the pot, which made Mrs. Qin feel painful.
After the oil was heated, Qin Zhizhi put the pre-processed crucian carp into the pot and said to Mrs. Qin who was lighting the fire, "Grandma, can you turn up the heat a bit?"
Because Qin Zhizhi was willing to use more oil and Mrs. Qin had a good control of the heat, the crucian carp was quickly fried until both sides were golden brown.
Qin Zhizhi was very satisfied. She added enough water to the pot and cooked it together with the fried crucian carp, adding some wild ginger slices and wild onions.
"Grandma, can you turn up the heat?" The aroma of fried fish aroused Qin Zhizhi's appetite.
When Mrs. Qin heard her granddaughter say that she wanted a big fire, she quickly added some more firewood, and the fire in the stove began to burn brightly.
After boiling over high heat, Qin Zhizhi opened the lid of the pot, gently skimmed off the foam with a spoon, and then asked Mrs. Qin to turn to low heat and simmer slowly.
According to Qin Zhizhi's request, Gu's mother cut the radish into shreds and set aside. After a while, Qin Zhizhi put the shredded radish into the pot and cooked them together.
When the soup turned milky white, Qin Zhizhi added some chopped wild onions and salt, and secretly added some pepper before serving.
Qin Zhizhi stir-fried the porcini mushrooms directly, and the fragrance filled the entire yard, making the children drool with greed.
Qin Zhizhi made a few more coarse flour pancakes, and the Gu family’s dinner began.
Although Mrs. Qin had agreed to stay at Gu's house for dinner, she changed her mind after the meal was ready.
Gu's mother and Qin Zhizhi had no choice but to send her away, but when she left, Qin Zhizhi packed a large jar of crucian carp soup and two full bowls of fish balls for her grandmother.
"Zhizhi, keep these for yourselves. Grandma doesn't want them." Mrs. Qin knew that the Gu family was in trouble, so she refused to take any of them.
"Grandma, these fish were caught by my fifth brother. You helped me to process them. They are not valuable. You can take them back and let your family taste them."
Qin Zhizhi didn't care about that and handed the basket directly to Mrs. Qin.
"Aunt Qin, Zhizhi is right. Now that Zhizhi is married into our family, we're a family. You can't be so formal." Mother Gu also advised.
In the end, Mrs. Qin couldn't refuse and could only take the fish soup and fish balls back home. When she left, she wanted to take Qin Qinghui with her, but he refused to leave.
After Mrs. Qin left, the Gu family started eating. The crucian carp soup with pancakes was so delicious that it made people almost swallow their tongues. The stir-fried porcini mushrooms were especially delicious.
They all ate too much accidentally, and Qin Zhizhi was worried that the children would have indigestion, so she asked them to walk around the yard a few times to help digestion.
On the Qin family's side.
When Mrs. Qin returned home, no one at home had come back yet, so Mrs. Qin quickly lit a fire and prepared dinner for the whole family.
Thinking of the way to eat fish balls that her granddaughter told her before leaving, Mrs. Qin decided to braise the fish balls.
She went to the vegetable garden to get some side dishes and made a big pot full of them. Knowing that she was reluctant to eat them, Qin Zhizhi deliberately lied to her and said that they would go bad tomorrow.
Farmers are not allowed to waste food, especially such delicious food.
So tonight, Mrs. Qin was generous for once. She made all the fish balls that Qin Zhizhi gave her and also made a pot of multi-grain pancakes.
She originally wanted to cook some whole grain porridge, but when she thought of the big jar of fish soup given by her granddaughter, Mrs. Qin decided to have fish soup for dinner. It smelled delicious.
So when the Qin family came back, Mrs. Qin had already prepared dinner. Usually, the Qin family's meals were cooked by several daughters-in-law in turn, and today it was the eldest daughter-in-law, Li.
When Li came back, she hurried into the kitchen to prepare dinner, only to find that her mother-in-law was already there.
"Mom, I came back late today because of something. I will make dinner right away." Li was a little embarrassed.
"Mom has already prepared it, just bring it over." Mrs. Qin was in a good mood today.
Li was stunned when she heard this, and felt even more embarrassed when she saw that her mother-in-law had already prepared the meal.
"Thank you for your hard work, mother." Li hurried to help serve the meal. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, her two younger brothers and sisters came to help.
The sisters-in-law have a very good relationship and usually help each other. The two people who rushed over did not expect that the mother-in-law had already prepared dinner.
After a brief surprise, he hurried in to serve dinner.
After the whole family sat down at the table, Mrs. Qin opened the pot of fish soup. The aroma filled the air and she could even hear the sound of people swallowing their saliva.
"Look at how useless you all are." Mrs. Qin scolded with a smile.
"Mom, what on earth did you cook? Why does it smell so good?" the eldest son Qin Shan asked with a smile. His gluttony had already been aroused.
"Mother doesn't have the ability to do this. This was made by Zhizhi. Come and try it." When talking about her granddaughter, Mrs. Qin's face was full of pride.
"Zhizhi?" The Qin family members were all surprised. They didn't expect that this delicacy was made by the married Qin Zhizhi. They were all surprised.
"I know you're surprised. Let's eat first and talk later. Otherwise, the fish soup won't taste good if it gets cold. Zhizhi said it should be drunk while it's hot."
Mrs. Qin didn't want to waste time explaining these things to them. The most important thing now was to eat.
Mrs. Qin quickly distributed the fish soup, giving each person a full bowl, and added fried fish balls and pancakes. For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of eating.
Qin Shan and Qin He even used pancakes to soak up the soup, which made Mrs. Qin want to laugh.
"Mom, Zhizhi is amazing. The fish soup and fish balls are so delicious." Uncle Qin Jiang praised with a smile.
"That's right. Look whose granddaughter she is." Mrs. Qin was extremely proud at this moment. How could she be a good girl, the only daughter in their Qin family?
"Old lady, can you tell us what happened now?" Old man Qin also had a smile on his face. His granddaughter was the best.
Mrs. Qin vividly told her family what happened in the afternoon, making everyone laugh.
"Mom, our Zhizhi has become even more powerful after marrying into the Gu family."
"It's a good thing I didn't marry into the Lin family. Lin Heng and Mrs. Lin are annoying just by looking at them."
"Now that she's married into the Gu family, we can rest assured."
"Yes, the three of us brothers have taken over the Gu family's little piece of land. We will never let Zhizhi get into trouble."
"Mom, Zhizhi is such a good cook, we should learn more from her."
.....
The family is full of expectations for the future. Considering that Gu Jiajinghuai has to study and has no labor force, the Qin family decided to do the heavy work in the future.
Their future includes their married daughter Qin Zhizhi and the Gu family.
The family's conversation was interrupted only when Qin Qinghui returned.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Dad, have you finished dinner? Third sister wants me to tell you something!"
