"Mom, I'm back." At 9:30 in the evening, Li Xiaoyu carried her schoolbag and pushed the bicycle back home with Qin Ye.
As soon as they entered the door, Li Xiaoyu and Qin Ye smelled the spicy aroma.
"Mom, what did you cook? It smells so good." Li Xiaoyu asked with her nose twisted.
Li Yunshu walked out of the kitchen carrying a casserole.
"Xiao Ye, help mom put the bowl mat on the table."
"Okay, Mom."
Qin Ye took a wooden bowl mat and placed it on the table.
Li Yunshu put the casserole on the bowl mat.
"Mom, what's cooking in here? It smells so good." The greedy girl Li Xiaoyu said while swallowing her saliva.
Li Yunshu smiled and lifted the lid of the clay pot. "This is spicy hot pot in a clay pot. Didn't you want to eat hot pot? We don't have a copper pot at home, so Mom made you a similar spicy hot pot in a clay pot."
The soup base of this casserole spicy hot pot is made with the leftover bone and kelp soup from the store.
Use bean paste, dried chili peppers, cauliflower, onions, garlic, ginger seeds, and bay leaves and cinnamon to stir-fry the base.
This casserole contains cabbage, radish, mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, bean curd sheets, tofu, vermicelli and meat.
After cooking, Li Yunshu added two spoonfuls of sesame paste.
In her life, Sui Sui, the girl from Xiaoyu's family, loved to eat this and begged her to make it twice. However, she didn't know how to cook it at that time, so she just listened to Sui Sui's instructions and made it, and it was very average.
But Sui Sui ate with great relish and kept praising her for her good cooking.
Li Yunshu felt sad when he thought of his granddaughter Sui Sui. That child's fate was very similar to her mother's.
Xiaoyu always wanted her to study hard and get into a good university, but the family environment where her parents quarreled all year round still had a great negative impact on Sui Sui.
She was eager to leave her original family as soon as possible, and her mind was not on studying.
After one year of junior high school and not taking the high school entrance exam, she didn't want to go there anymore, but Xiaoyu still forced her to go to vocational high school.
Before she even finished her first year of school, she started dating a boyfriend in vocational high school. Before she even graduated from high school, she went to Shenzhen to work with that boyfriend and never heard from him again.
Before she died, she didn't even see Shushu, and she didn't even know whether the child was dead or alive.
This was the biggest worry in her heart before she died.
"Malatang? It looks delicious." Li Xiaoyu said while swallowing her saliva.
Li Yunshu came back to his senses from his memories, "Go get a bowl and chopsticks and eat."
"I'll go right away." Li Xiaoyu ran into the kitchen.
"Bring a set of bowls and chopsticks, your brother and I will have something to eat." Li Yunshu added.
"good."
Qin Ye frowned and looked at his godmother. What was she thinking just now?
Why do you look so sad?
Li Xiaoyu not only brought out a set of bowls and chopsticks, but also a soup spoon.
On a late autumn night, mother and son would sit together and eat spicy and hot casserole hotpot.
"Mom, this hot pot casserole is really delicious. I want to eat it again tomorrow." Li Xiaoyu took a sip of the fragrant and spicy soup and felt very refreshed.
I came back from riding my bike in the evening and it was still a bit cold, but after eating this hot pot casserole, I felt warm all over.
Li Yunshu looked at her daughter lovingly and said, "Okay, Mom will make it for you tomorrow night."
After eating the spicy hot pot, Qin Ye took the casserole and bowls to the kitchen to wash them, and then rode his bike home.
When he returned to the No. 2 courtyard, the gate was closed. Qin Ye pushed the door but it didn't open.
It was obvious that someone had inserted the bolt from the inside.
Usually, the door of this hospital is closed by the person who comes back last at night.
I went to eat spicy hot pot with my mother and Xiaoyu today, and came back a little later than usual. Maybe a neighbor thought I had returned, so he closed the gate and bolted it.
"Knock, knock, knock..." Qin Ye raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Qin Rong was already lying on the bed. Just as she was about to turn off the light, she heard a knock on the door and got out of bed, putting on her clothes.
She walked out of the room, opened the door, and saw Qin Ye standing outside the door pushing a bicycle.
"Xiao Ye, why are you back so late today?"
Qin Ye said: "I had a midnight snack with my mother and Xiaoyu, so I came back a little late."
Qin Rong stepped aside and waited for Qin Ye to enter the yard. She closed the door and said, "I went to the toilet half an hour ago, and the yard door was still open. I guess someone thought he wouldn't come back, so they closed it."
Qin Ye nodded without thinking much.
I went back to the room, washed up and went to bed.
The weekend came in a blink of an eye. After school on Saturday afternoon, Li Xiaoyu rode her bicycle back to Li's house.
Li Yunshu went home earlier than Xiaoyu. After finishing his afternoon work, he went back.
The purpose was to let Wanxiao and Xiaoyu stay at home for one night and spend more time with their parents.
When Li Zhenzhen heard Xiaoyu say that the casserole spicy hot pot made by her aunt was particularly delicious, she acted coquettishly and asked Li Yunshu to make spicy hot pot for her.
Li Yunshu made a clear soup version of casserole spicy hot pot for his parents, and they both liked it very much.
The next morning, Li Yunshu rode his bicycle to the store again.
When it comes to making dumplings, the stuffing is the key, and she has to master the stuffing skills herself, so this shop really cannot do without her.
In fact, she found this quite inconvenient. She had considered teaching Qin Rong how to mix the stuffing, but she didn't dare to take the risk.
Why did she only consider teaching Qin Rong and not Qin Ye?
Because this kid is a culinary black hole.
Yes, I can cook, but what I call cooking is just cooking the food. The taste is really hard to describe.
When they got to the store, Qin Rong and Qin Ye had already taken Huang Qiuyan to wash vegetables and chop stuffing.
Li Yunshu put on an apron, first burned the skin of the pork belly with fire, then scraped it clean with a knife, blanched it with water, and then put it in an aluminum pot filled with old broth to stew.
Then she boiled a few more eggs, chopped the stuffing, and started mixing it.
After mixing the stuffing, Li Yunshu just came out of the kitchen to drink some water and take a break.
Zhang Jiao walked in holding Junjun.
"mom."
"Grandma." Junjun called in a baby voice.
Li Yunshu frowned, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Jiao pouted and said, "Mom, you forgot, today is your grandson Junjun's 10th birthday."
Li Yunshu: "Is it the beginning of the month today?"
Zhang Jiao nodded and complained softly, "Mom, you used to love your grandson Junjun the most. How come you even forgot Junjun's birthday?"
Li Yunshu rolled his eyes at her. "My last name is Lin, and the Lin family has nothing to do with me anymore. Isn't it normal for me to forget my birthday?"
"..." Zhang Jiao choked and smiled awkwardly, "Mom, judging by what you said, you and Dad are divorced, but no matter what time, you are still Junjun's grandmother."
"Hehe..." Li Yunshu sneered.
Zhang Jiao continued, "Guodong went to buy a birthday cake for Junjun. Mom, you and Xiaoyu will go home together this afternoon. Let's celebrate Junjun's birthday together as a family."
She, the mother-in-law, used to love Junjun the most, but after the divorce, she was unwilling to even take care of Junjun.
However, she still has some feelings for Junjun, so Zhang Jiao wants to use Junjun's 100th birthday as an opportunity.
Invite the mother-in-law and sister-in-law home to celebrate Junjun’s birthday and ease the relationship.
Even if the mother-in-law is unwilling to go home to celebrate Junjun's birthday, as Junjun's grandmother, she should give a red envelope when she knows that her grandson has a birthday.
Regardless of whether this matter can be accomplished or not, she will not lose anything anyway, and Junjun can also get a red envelope.
