Chapter 142 Rich Dishes
But when Song Qingqing saw the food, she didn't know where to start.
There were all kinds of seafood she had never seen before, as well as pork belly and ribs. There were also things hanging above the cave that she had never seen before, which should also be food.
Song Chuman entered the kitchen. She knew what Song Qingqing was thinking and said seriously, "Aunt, I also bought some buns, so I don't have to cook too much rice. There are a lot of people here today, so we can cook all the seafood. Anyway, we can go fishing tomorrow."
Song Qingqing didn't expect her niece to be so generous in treating her, but she couldn't be naive, so she quickly said, "Ah Man, you don't have to finish all of them. Just choose one or two. We can't eat much."
Song Chuman sighed and said, "Aunt, our family is lacking in nutrition and we need to replenish it quickly. These seafood are all obtained by me from the sea. They look like a lot, but in fact, they are not much. Clams and hairy clams are mostly shells and have little meat."
As she spoke, she asked Song Qingqing to come closer and told her about Song Hexiu's condition.
"So, aunt, there's nothing we can do."
Song Qingqing knew that her eldest brother's family had a hard time in the past, but she didn't expect that her eldest brother's health would be so severely damaged. She could only nod and say, "Okay, Auntie, I'll listen to you."
Is it just that the harvest from sea fishing is so abundant now?
Didn’t they say there weren’t many seafood products to be found?
Song Chuman and Song Chuhuai also went to help.
Seeing this, He Xiaoshuang also started to busy herself beside her cousins.
Song Chuman didn't treat her as an outsider and assigned her some vegetable washing tasks, which made her very happy.
All the dishes tonight were made according to Song Chuman's requirements, even some asparagus was cut and stir-fried.
She also bought some sesame oil today, and will add a few drops to her stir-fries every time she cooks.
If she has the chance to find a large number of oysters in the future, she can make oyster sauce.
That way even stir-fried dishes can make people salivate.
Soon, all the dishes were ready and everyone sat down to eat.
Song Chuman took a look at the dishes: steamed clams, hairy clams, swimming crabs, oysters, braised octopus, stir-fried black shrimp, sand fish and yellow croaker in soy sauce, pork ribs stewed with kelp soup, and stir-fried asparagus.
Song Hexiu said, "Qingqing, don't be polite, pick up your chopsticks."
Song Qingqing was very polite. She picked up the chopsticks and waited until Song Hexiu and Sheng Shuwan started eating before she started eating.
He Xiaoshuang had never seen such a rich variety of dishes, and she felt very restrained and didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks.
Song Qingqing could only eat a little herself and pick some for her.
Song Chuhuai's mouth was full of oil as he ate. "Sister, today's food is so delicious."
Song Chuman smiled and said, "Thanks to my aunt."
If the mother and daughter were not there, they would not be able to finish all of it in one meal.
Song Chuhuai immediately changed his target: "Thank you, aunt."
Song Qingqing smiled and said, "I should thank you."
Song Chuman didn't want to thank him anymore, so she took a bite of the asparagus and ate it. "This stir-fried asparagus is really delicious. You should all try it. It's a vegetable from the sea and very nutritious."
The others listened to her and tried it, then nodded in praise.
“It’s really delicious.”
"Sea vegetables sound so exotic."
Song Qingqing glanced at the unfinished asparagus hanging not far away and said in surprise, "I saw this at the beach when I was a child, but I thought it was inedible, so I just ignored it."
Song Hexiu said, "Yes, if we had known this earlier, we would have had more food to eat. We wouldn't have gone hungry when food prices rose during disaster years and we couldn't afford it."
