181 Hello, mother!
Zhou Linglan pushed open the door, and two little figures rushed over like two small cannons.
"Grandma~~"
"Mom..."
One ran over to hug Zhou Linglan's waist, and the other ran over to hug her thighs.
Su Taotao walked over and took off the hoe on her shoulder: "Mom, I'm back to see you."
Zhou Linglan smiled and said: "Okay, I'm back."
Zhou Linglan touched Fu Yuanhang's head, bent down and hugged Chenchen: "You have grown up, I almost didn't recognize you."
The two children have changed so much, Su Taotao's complexion is also very good, Zhou Linglan knows without asking that they must be living well over there.
Seeing this, she felt relieved.
Chenchen hugged Zhou Linglan's neck and rubbed it: "Miss grandma~~"
Zhou Linglan touched the child's face: "Chenchen speaks so fluently, grandma misses you too."
"Hello, godmother!" Sheniu Mumu was unwilling to be ignored, so he stepped forward to show his presence and unilaterally announced that Fu Yuanhang's mother was his godmother.
Zhou Linglan was stunned.
Fu Yuanhang glared at him and said, "Don't yell at me. This is my mother. This is my best friend, Mo Jialin, Mumu."
Su Taotao added, "Mumu's father and Fu Zhengtu are colleagues. His mother and I work in the same factory. Mumu and Xiaohang are in the same class. Our two families are very close."
Mumu nodded, looked at Zhou Linglan and asked seriously, "Calling aunt is too strange. I call you Sister Taozi like Ah Hang, and Chenchen calls me Uncle Mumu. Can I call you godmother?"
Fu Yuanhang has never had many friends. This is the first time Zhou Linglan has met such a cheerful and generous child. She couldn't change for a while.
But looking at Fu Yuanhang, who was obviously much more cheerful, Zhou Linglan thought it was because he made this good friend.
At that moment, she felt a little more friendly to Mumu.
"Of course you can. Once Mumu comes home, don't be shy. Just treat this place as your own home."
Fu Yuanhang thought. He had never seen Mumu being shy.
Mumu nodded generously: "Yes, yes, yes, godmother, you don't have to take care of me specially."
Zhou Linglan smiled and thought that this child has a really good personality.
It is the season for eating snails. Su Taotao saw a large plate of snails spitting out mud by the pool, so she asked Zhou Linglan:
"Mom, how many days have the snails been raised? Has the mud been spit out completely? It's too late today, and there is no time to buy vegetables. If they are spit out completely, let's make some stewed rice and stir-fry the snails tonight."
Zhou Linglan put Chenchen down, nodded and said, "They have been raised for two or three days, and they have all been spit out completely. It's just right to stir-fry them tonight."
Chenchen ran over with his short legs to look at the snails.
He bent down, put his little fleshy hands into the water, and gently touched the exposed tentacles of the snails.
The snails, which are slightly larger than an adult's thumb, have long tentacles. When touched by Chenchen, they quickly retracted their flesh and tentacles back into their shells, closing the "door" as well.
Chenchen laughed out loud and went to play with another one.
Mumu also found it fun and followed Chenchen to play with the snails.
Fu Yuanhang brought over a few small stools and placed one under Mumu and Chenchen's buttocks: "Stop playing and help to process the snails, otherwise we won't be able to eat them tonight."
Mumu asked puzzledly: "Isn't it the same as conch and flower snail? Can't it be just fried directly? What else do we need to do with it?"
Fu Yuanhang brought over a large stone, picked up a snail, and tapped the snail's butt against the stone a few times until the snail's buttocks were damaged. Then he threw it into the dustpan on the side, reached out for the second one, and continued tapping.
Mumu: "..."
"What you mean by treatment is to break the snail's butt?"
Fu Yuanhang explained, "Snail is different from conch. It eats mud in the field. Its butt is full of mud and it is inedible. Besides, only if it is broken can it be flavored and easier to suck out."
Zhou Linglan went to make a fire to cook. Su Taotao also moved a small stool to sit down and help: "Mumu, have you never eaten snails?"
Mumu shook his head: "No, maybe Miss Zhong doesn't know how to cook such complicated things."
After all, Miss Zhong is good at "one pot cooking". If she cooks snails, it is estimated that it will be inedible.
Su Taotao thought about it and it was the same.
"Add some perilla and sour bamboo shoots to stir-fry. It is especially appetizing in summer. I haven't eaten it for a long time." Su Taotao said that even she wanted to drool.
Fu Yuanhang and Mumu couldn't help drooling.
"It sounds delicious." Mumu imitated Fu Yuanhang and knocked hard -
the whole snail broke.
It almost stabbed his hand.
Fu Yuanhang said: "Be gentle, the snail shell is very thin, not as thick as the conch."
Mumu knocked with much less force: "The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, I know it now."
Chenchen also wanted to help, Su Taotao quickly took him aside:
"Grandma is the only one busy in the kitchen, Chenchen go see if grandma needs any help, okay?" This little fleshy hand will definitely bleed if it is knocked. Chenchen
looked at the kitchen, nodded and said: "Okay~~ I'll go help grandma~~"
and then ran into the kitchen to find Zhou Linglan.
Zhou Linglan hadn't seen her grandson for a long time. She held him on her lap curiously and asked him all kinds of questions.
The more Chenchen talked, the more Zhou Linglan found it surprising. She didn't expect Chenchen to be so amazing now. Not only did he speak more fluently, but he also learned so many things.
She felt more and more relieved.
Su Taotao was still the chef tonight.
Fu Zhengtu had taken a lot of oil coupons from Zhou Zheng and Zhou Weining before, and sent some back to Zhou Linglan. Now there was no shortage of oil at home, so Su Taotao was willing to cook. Heat
the pot and pour in the oil. Throw in the slices of ginger, garlic and star anise and start cooking. When the aroma comes out, add the snails and stir-fry. When the snails are fragrant, add the sour bamboo shoots and stir-fry with the snails.
Snails and sour bamboo shoots are a match made in heaven. When the two collided, the adults and children at home, as well as the adults and children next door, couldn't stand the fragrance and kept swallowing their saliva.
How could Mumu stand such a taste?
"Sister Taozi, you are so amazing. Isn't this so delicious? Ah Hang and Chen Chen are so happy!"
Chen Chen is not a greedy kid. He now stands on a small stool and looks at the snails in the pot.
"My mom is the best cook~~"
Mumu nodded: "Everyone in the village knows it."
Indeed, everyone in the village knows it. The neighbors living around Zhou Linglan are already cursing. When Su Taotao is not back, the food at home is okay. As soon as she comes home, the food at home is not delicious, and the children also clamor for meat.
Su Taotao stir-fries for a few minutes before starting to season it. Add salt, sugar, soy sauce in appropriate amounts, and finally pour in boiling water that just covers the snails. Stir-fry evenly, cover with a lid and simmer over high heat.
"Okay, we'll be ready in a few minutes, let's get ready."
The marinated taro rice was ready, and Zhou Linglan used a small pot to make egg drop loofah soup.
Such a meal is the highest standard for entertaining guests in the countryside.
What really made the kids next door cry was the snails that were simmered for a few minutes. When Su Taotao opened the lid and put the perilla leaves in to collect the juice, the snails were paired with sour bamboo shoots and perilla. That was truly the top configuration of ingredients. The taste that collided was geometrically multiplied and attacked people's taste buds, making people unforgettable after eating it.
Now is the season when snails are the most plump. Snails in other seasons are skinny, and snails in this season are the most delicious.
When eating, not to mention Mumu, everyone in the family, including Su Taotao herself, was directly confused by the fragrance of this dish.
