Chapter 309: People are in high spirits when they are happy
I've heard of eating crabs before, but there's not much meat on them, so no one likes to eat them.
It's the turtle instead.
People in the village have heard of it as a tonic in the past and have tried it before.
But no matter how you cook it, it always tastes fishy.
In addition to the unique fishy smell of fish, there is also the fishy smell of deep mud.
I spent a lot of effort, oil and salt to make it, and I don’t want to waste the oil, so I want to endure it and eat it. But when I put it in my mouth, I can’t stand the taste and can’t help but spit it out.
But the food at the Fu family banquet was different.
Not only is it not fishy, the soup is sweet and refreshing, and the meat is chewy and tastes great!
"How is this made? It's delicious! No worse than that big bone soup!"
"Yes, look, there's a lot of ginger in here, and this, is this bay leaf?"
People, familiar or unfamiliar, sat together at the table, chatting in a friendly manner with their heads tilted.
The Fu family had a lavish banquet, and everyone who came to attend the one-year-old celebration praised them.
At the end of the banquet, several boxes of firecrackers were set off to send the guests off, and many people stayed to ask how the turtle soup on the table was made and who made it.
After learning that it was made by Lu Miao, they all praised Lu Miao's craftsmanship and asked for the detailed method.
There was someone in the room helping to take care of the baby, and Lu Miao and Chen Guifen together wrapped red eggs for the departing guests.
When Lu Miao heard people praising her cooking skills, she almost laughed to tears.
She's such a good cook!
That is to say, I know a few cooking tips.
But having said that, after having her first and second babies, she devoted every day to making complementary foods that the babies loved, were palatable and good, and her cooking skills have indeed improved a lot.
"It's not that difficult to prepare soft-shelled turtles. Just remove all the fat from their bellies. If you want to make soup, just blanch them and add hot water to simmer."
"If you have ginger, cut more ginger slices and put it in. If you don't have ginger, put some bay leaves and a few peppercorns..."
Everyone wanted to know, so Lu Miao didn't hide it and said it openly:
"These things are sold cheaply at the grocery store. You can buy a small bag for just a few cents and it will last you a long time!"
"Haha, that's fine. I'll try it the way you said when I get home! If it works, I'll have a delicious meal in the future!"
Soft-shelled turtles are easy to catch in the countryside. Sometimes you can shovel out one or two when cleaning the ditch.
If we can learn the skill of cooking soft-shelled turtle, there will be an extra free meat dish on every household’s table in the future!
Lu Miao smiled and nodded:
"Okay, let's go back and try them! Clean out the contents, blanch them, and they'll be delicious whether you're cooking them in a sauce or grilling them!"
"Hey, alright!"
After seeing off the elders in the village, Lu Miao called out to Geng Xiaoyun and the others not to leave yet.
She went into the house and cleaned up, picked up the remaining meat and vegetables on the table, filled a large bowl with them and brought it to them.
Let them take it back to the educated youth point and heat it up to eat later.
Times are hard, and no one would complain about leftovers from a banquet.
Geng Xiaoyun felt awkward:
"Everyone else brought something with them, but we came empty-handed... How can we take it back?"
Lu Miao glared at her angrily:
"Take it, Xia Xia still calls you auntie!"
And how did she wake up?
Isn’t it all thanks to the ginseng she sent me?
Everyone knew it, and Lu Miao didn't point it out.
He filled a bowl with food, waved to Geng Junhao to wait a moment, and stuffed a few steamed buns into his mouth.
Considering that many of the educated youth at the dinner table came from the north and preferred pasta, Lu Miao got up early and kneaded dough with Tian Guihua to steam a pot of steamed buns.
The dishes packed for Geng Xiaoyun were to be taken back and eaten together with the other educated youth.
These steamed buns are specially given to the two siblings.
"Thank you, Kitty-sister!"
Geng Junhao's ears turned red.
Lu Miao waved his hand and chuckled:
"Go back quickly! You can still rest for half a day in the afternoon."
Just as Geng Xiaoyun treats Lu Miao as her younger sister, Lu Miao also treats Geng Junhao as his younger brother.
"Um!"
After seeing off all the guests, Lu Miao returned to the house, took Erbao from Chen Guifen's arms, and began to take care of his family affairs.
"Uncle and aunt, please sit down for a while! You've been busy just now. I'll clear the table and we can sit down to eat."
Chen Guifen rolled up her sleeves quickly and said:
"Just hold your sister and sit for a while. I'll take care of this."
"Then collect them together."
Lu Miao chuckled, his eyes curved and he looked very gentle:
"It's just my one hand, auntie, don't think I'm slow."
He Hongjin suddenly interrupted jokingly:
"You're a bomb, who dares to dislike you?"
Chen Guifen turned around and glared at He Hongjin:
"You just can't control your mouth!"
He Hongjin laughed, picked up the remaining pig ears on the table, and asked Fu Jingyou:
"Is there any wine? Let's sit down and have a drink."
"Yes, there is wine."
Fu Jingyou nodded and turned his gaze to Lu Miao.
Lu Miao laughed and shook his head:
"Why are you looking at me? Uncle has already asked, how can I not let you drink?"
Fu Jingyou also smiled, rubbed the back of his head and went into the house to get some wine and a wine cup.
We picked out the remaining dishes on the two tables and put them together into several plates.
There were dishes reserved for their family in the kitchen, so Lu Miao helped clean them up. Erbao blinked his eyes and cried loudly.
I think I'm sleepy.
Lu Miao made a small bottle of milk and held the baby to coax him to sleep.
After coaxing Erbao to sleep and putting him back in the rocking bed, she walked out, put on her skirt, and took Tian Guihua's place in the kitchen:
"Second sister-in-law, you can go up front and rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest."
"There's not much left, I'll just stir-fry two more dishes."
"There's nothing left, and you won't let me do this little thing?"
Lu Miao laughed and pushed Tian Guihua out of the kitchen:
"Go ahead, there's a cup on the counter. Take it and pour yourself some water. I won't have to pour it for you!"
"Look at what you're saying. I'm in my seventies and eighties? And I still want you to pour me some water."
The kitchen was empty. Hearing the low laughter coming from the main room, Lu Miao curled his lips and laughed too.
She had to get up at three or four in the morning to get ready, and she was exhausted even at this time.
In the past, she would have definitely quit.
But things are different now, and my mentality seems to have changed.
She really loves the warm, united and loving family atmosphere...
Lu Miao quickly fried a dish of stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and neatly plated them and served them on the table.
By then the whole family was sitting at the table and it was almost six in the afternoon.
Outside, the orange glow covered half the sky, and everyone in the house was in high spirits, with rosy faces.
Not only do they have a positive attitude, but they are also full of passion and motivation for the future because of their happy family and wonderful life.
Lu Miao was deeply moved.
Fu Jingyou, He Hongjin and He Erge chatted slowly while drinking.
Lu Miao picked out his favorite dishes, finished his meal quickly, and left the table to replace Tian Guihua.
Let Tian Guihua come to the table to eat, and she went to look after Dabao and Minjie.
Minjie is over four years old and is in a new stage of naughtiness.
The little guy is strong, but dark.
In the past, I lived in a coal mine and was always dirty.
In the past two years, Tian Guihua has been more careful in cleaning himself up, and he is much cleaner now.
But the dark color on the skin must be caused by sun exposure.
