Chapter 227: Caught in the act (Page 1/2)
Xiao Yinghua and the Koreans have always preferred to stew soup with sea fish, but the Su Yingzi in front of them actually proposed to use sea fish to make soup. There must be some clues!
Lin Man looked at Su Yingzi with a smile on her face and said softly, "I'm so sorry. In my opinion, this hairtail fish is more suitable for pan-frying! Besides, I already made a pork bone and kelp soup this afternoon."
As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently swept across the lotus MSG placed on the stove, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
Suddenly, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, Comrade Su, could you please help me get some miso..."
Lin Man deliberately speeded up her speech and pronounced "MSG" as "miso", hoping to observe Su Yingzi's reaction.
As expected, Su Yingzi blurted out without thinking: "Sister-in-law, where is the miso?" Obviously, she did not realize the trap in Lin Man's words.
"What miso? What is miso? I'm talking about MSG!" A hint of cunning flashed in Lin Man's eyes, but she still had a smile on her face.
Su Yingzi looked at Lin Man with suspicion, as if she was very confused by her words.
At this time, Lin Man walked to the stove on the other side, picked up the bag of Lotus MSG, and poured some into the pot.
Just then, Yang Huiling saw Lin Man busying around, so she pulled Su Yingzi out of the kitchen.
As soon as Yang Huiling left, Xiao Ya walked into the kitchen and asked, "Manman, do we need to start setting the table now?"
"Well, you can set the table first, and then serve the dishes one by one." Lin Man replied.
"good!"
Xiao Ya and Liao Sijie started to set the table and prepare to serve the dishes. After a while, Huo Qingci came back. Looking at the guests in the yard, he took the initiative to greet them one by one, and then went back to the kitchen to help.
When Lin Man saw Huo Qingci coming back, she told him, "Qingci, take the towel and take the dishes out of the steamer. Be careful of the burns."
"knew!"
Three layers of large steamers were neatly stacked together, emitting hot white steam.
On the bottom layer were three bowls of taro braised pork, which was cut into slices of fat and lean pork belly and tightly stacked on the taro.
The middle layer is the fragrant steamed pork ribs with rice flour. The ribs wrapped in rice flour look tender and juicy.
The top layer is Huo Yining’s favorite steamed prawns, with big red prawns neatly arranged on the plate.
Huo Qingci carefully opened the lid of the steamer, and a wave of hot air hit his face.
He quickly picked up a towel from the shelf next to him, placed it on his palm, and then gently took out the shrimps from the steamer one by one.
Liao Sijie, Xiao Ya and Ling Fei had already lined up, waiting for the dishes to be served on the table.
In addition to these three steamed dishes, Lin Man also prepared delicious dishes such as pan-fried hairtail fish, braised pork trotters, braised lamb with radish, cold spinach and kelp and pork bone soup, totaling eight dishes.
In addition, she specially cooked a large pot of red eggs so that everyone could share in the joy.
Before the meal started, Xiao Ya and Liao Sijie were responsible for distributing four red eggs and two red apples to each guest, symbolizing good luck and fortune.
This time, Huo Qingci's grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all came to the banquet.
Not only that, my fourth uncle, fifth uncle and aunt also came with their families. Together with the Lin family and Huo Qingci's own family, the three tables were almost full.
There was not enough space, so Lin Man and Liao Sijie did not sit at the dining table. Instead, they chose to bring the children to the living room and feed them patiently.
After feeding the two children, Lin Man asked Liao Sijie to sit down as well. She took her two sons back to her room and let them play with the tin frog and the small ball on the bed.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a door being pushed open next door, and thought, could it be that grandpa went back to his room to get something?
No, An An is one year old, and there are so many guests at home. Grandpa is very happy today and should be drinking with them at the table.
"Ningning, watch over your brother and don't let him fall. Mommy will go to the kitchen to get you some red eggs."
"good!"
Lin Man gently opened the door and walked to the door of her grandfather's room, thinking, could it be that Su Yingzi sneaked in?
No matter who comes in, lock the door first.
I told grandpa to lock the door before, why did he open it today? Did he want to lure Su Yingzi into the trap?
Lin Man quickly ran to the backyard and saw that Su Yingzi was indeed not on the table in the yard. She walked over to Huo Qingci and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where that person went?"
Huo Qingci knew who Su Qingyu was talking about. He looked around and found that Su Yingzi was really not there. He lowered his voice and whispered, "I was drinking with grandpa just now and didn't notice their table."
"Oh, come with me, I have something to talk to you about."
Huo Qingci immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed Lin Man back to the living room. Lin Man pointed to Grandpa's door and whispered, "That woman is in there."
"This matter cannot be made public. You stay here and I will call Grandpa."
Just as Huo Qingci turned around to call for help, he found that his grandfather was already standing behind them.
Huo Li looked at the locked door and asked quietly, "Xiao Man, is that person in there?"
Lin Man nodded, "Yeah!"
“Pah~!!”
Su Yingzi rummaged through Huo Li's room for a long time, but found nothing.
Just as she was about to open the door, she was surprised to find that the door was locked from the outside!
She was suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Huo Li waved his hand, motioning Huo Qingci to go over and open the door.
Huo Qingci walked to the door, unfastened the doorknob, and felt some resistance when he pushed it open, so he deliberately shouted, "Who, who is hiding in Grandpa's room?"
Hearing the sound, Su Yingzi had an idea and quickly climbed onto Mr. Huo's bed, pretending to be drunk.
After Huo Qingci opened the door, Lin Man and Huo Li followed him into the room.
Seeing the woman lying on her grandfather's bed without any scruples, Huo Qingci's face suddenly darkened and became overcast, as if a storm was about to come.
He frowned tightly, his eyes widened, his gaze filled with anger and doubt, and he asked Su Yingzi in a low and stern voice, "Comrade Su! Why did you break into Grandpa's room without permission?"
Su Yingzi was awakened by Huo Qingci's roar. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and staggered out of bed. She rubbed her temples and muttered to herself:
"Oh my god, this is grandpa's room? I thought it was my sister-in-law's room. I just drank too much and have a splitting headache. I came in to rest, but I didn't expect it to be grandpa's room."
Lin Man sneered and thought to herself that even a three-year-old child would find it hard to believe such a crude excuse.
She gently tugged at the corner of Huo Qingci's clothes and said softly, "Forget it, Qingci, don't bother with her. Take grandpa out first, and go to the next room to see Ningning.
"Leave this to me. Comrade Su looks quite drunk and intoxicated. It would be best if I could help her back to the living room to rest."
As she spoke, Lin Man was secretly delighted, thinking this was a godsend. When she helped Su Yingzi up later, she could give her some hallucinogens so she wouldn't have to reveal the truth.
