Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Grass carp, pepper and turnip soup is thick and hot...
But after Cheng Yu carried Su Tianli into the yard, they smiled at each other.
How to say it?
This was the first time they had done the same thing in such unison.
——Get rid of the annoying He Wanqian!
And there was absolutely no discussion beforehand.
At once,
There is a subtle feeling of being in tune with each other.
Cheng Yu put Su Tianli on the sofa, took off her shoes and socks, and looked at her. He felt so distressed.
He quickly fetched a basin of warm water, first helped Su Tianli wash her feet, and dried them with a towel. He then took the safflower oil and smeared it on the palm of his hand. After warming it with his body temperature, he began to massage Su Tianli.
Su Tianli: ...
“Ah! Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…It hurts so much…No no no no! Wuuuu Cheng Yu Cheng Yu Cheng Yu…No no no no…”
Su Tianli began to howl like a ghost.
But Cheng Yu remained unmoved and continued to rub her ankles vigorously.
Su Tianli shouted until her voice became hoarse and she had no strength left. She could only whimper and sob.
She glared at Cheng Yu hatefully.
I thought he obviously cared about her feelings...
When the two of them were together at night, as long as she frowned slightly, he would stop, carefully and gently ask her the reason, and he was very service-minded.
But now, he turned a blind eye to her wailing.
Cheng Yu finally stopped.
Then--
He saw Lizhi's angry and aggrieved look.
Cheng Yu was startled, and explained softly, "You sprained your ankle quite badly. If you don't massage it, the swelling won't go down for several days. Now that it's been massaged, you should have a good rest tonight, and you'll be back to normal tomorrow."
"Then you can't use so much strength!" Su Tianli said hatefully.
Cheng Yu coaxed her patiently and carefully, "Okay, okay, then I won't use so much force next time, okay?"
He admitted his mistakes so well,
Su Tianli was no longer angry, but asked curiously: "Will it really disappear tomorrow?"
"meeting!"
"You promise?"
"I promise."
Su Tianli was even more curious, "Why do you know that?"
Cheng Yu said nothing.
He stood up, took a thin blanket and covered her with it, then washed the safflower oil off his hands, poured her a cup of warm water, gave her a book, and handed her a bright red tomato.
"Don't go out. Just call me if you need anything... I'm going to cook." Cheng Yu said.
Then he went to work.
The most urgent thing is to cook!
After all, stewing fish soup also takes time...
The fish has to be killed now.
Cheng Yu was probably afraid that his clothes would get dirty, so he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular waist.
He squatted in the yard with his back to Su Tianli, killing and scaling fish with quick and skillful movements.
Su Tianli lay on the sofa, eating sweet and sour tomatoes bit by bit, looking at Cheng Yu from time to time.
She saw a few faint scars on his back.
Su Tianli knew that it was caused when he fell from the scaffolding...
But his whole body was actually covered with scars of various sizes.
Su Tianli asked him what those scars were.
Cheng Yu avoided answering all the questions.
Su Tianli knew what was going on - most likely he had been bullied since he was a child.
And he didn't want to recall the past, so he chose not to respond.
This made Su Tianli feel a little distressed.
But this painful feeling...
It seems like there is nowhere to vent.
Su Tianli took a bite of the tomato and said loudly: "Cheng Yu——"
Cheng Yu didn't move, but responded and turned to look at her.
"...I bought some soft tofu and old tofu, half a pound each. Remember to make soup with the soft tofu and fish heads and tails, and fry the old tofu with oil and salt and then stew it with tomatoes!"
Cheng Yu smiled and said okay.
Su Tianli asked again: "Cheng Yu, do you have any green onions at home? Why don't you knead some dough to let it rise tonight and make some steamed green onion rolls for dinner tomorrow morning?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said "OK" again.
Su Tianli continued, "Oh, my dad asked you to make two more keys and send them over. The key I gave him before was accidentally taken away by my younger brother... He couldn't get in when he came to deliver the food today, so he had to leave the food at Aunt Tang's house next door. You can go get it later, see what the food is, and give some to Aunt Tang."
Cheng Yu answered seriously: "Okay."
Cheng Yu really likes the current atmosphere at home.
Be with the people you love,
Two people in one house, three meals a day, four seasons.
When you want quiet time, your home will be quiet;
When they wanted to study, they each occupied a corner of the study and studied their own subjects;
When I want to be lively, like now, this beautiful home is filled with the sweet and sticky sound of lychees...
I like it very much.
The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth unconsciously curled up.
He processed the grass carp, rinsed it, and took it into the kitchen.
The rice on the stove is boiling.
Cheng Yu rushed over, took a clean enamel cup and placed it on the stove, then opened the lid of the rice cooker and poured some of the boiling rice water in the pot into the enamel cup...
Next, the rice pot is put back in place - it is placed back on the stove to continue cooking;
Cheng Yu quickly took out the tin can of granulated sugar, opened the lid, scooped a spoonful of granulated sugar, and poured it into the enamel cup.
This is Su Tianli’s favorite sweet rice soup.
Delicious and nourishing.
Cheng Yu brought the cup of rice soup to Su Tianli, then returned to the kitchen and continued cooking.
——The few grass carps his father-in-law sent were not big. Three or four of them together weighed less than two pounds, which was just enough for him and Litchi to have a meal.
And Lizhi had already made all the arrangements clearly...
So the fish head, tail and bones should be removed quickly, the fish meat should be placed on a plate, marinated with ginger slices and salt, then the lid of the rice cooker should be opened, a steaming rack should be placed in it, then the plate of fish should be placed on the steaming rack and the lid should be closed.
Don't worry about the steamed fish.
Put the fish head, tail and bones aside. Now we are going to fry the tofu - after the pan is hot and the oil is poured in, close the damper of the coal stove to reduce the fire, and then put the old tofu cut into one finger thick into the pan to fry.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly put the small pond vegetables he bought into the basin and soaked them in water.
Then he quickly ran back to the stove to take care of the fried tofu in the pan.
Fry the tofu until both sides are golden brown, then put it into a bowl.
While there is still some residual oil in the pot, put the fish head, tail and bones directly into the pot and fry them. When they are slightly burnt, add half a pot of boiling water to the pot, wash the ginger, peel it and slice it, and throw it into the pot, and also pour half a cup of rice wine...
While the fish soup is bubbling in the pot, you have to quickly wash the vegetables soaked in the water.
After the vegetables are washed, the rice is cooked;
The fish in the rice cooker is steamed, so you have to prepare the sauce quickly - otherwise the steamed fish will have no taste.
The sauce for steamed fish is also easy to make. Wash and cut the shallots into shreds, and pour some soy sauce into the shredded shallots...
At this time, the fish soup in the pot had been cooked to a slightly white color.
Quickly cut the tender tofu into cubes and throw them into the pot. When the tofu cubes are cooked, sprinkle with shredded scallions, salt and pepper for seasoning.
The fish and tofu soup is ready!
Then wash the pan, heat it up, and add some oil. When the oil is hot, pour a little on the steamed fish sauce you prepared, and make a loud "sizzling" sound...
At this moment, the kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of onions.
Next, throw a few crushed garlic cloves into the pan. After the garlic aroma comes out, add the chopped tomato puree into the pan and stir-fry to remove the sand. Then put the old tofu cubes that have been fried with oil and salt in and cook for a few minutes. Season and serve.
This bright red home-cooked braised tofu is done!
Let's make some refreshing garlic greens.
Pour the homemade scallion steamed fish sauce over the steamed fish...
Three dishes and a soup, ready to go!
At this time, Su Tianli had finished the cup of sweet rice soup and was not very hungry anymore.
Just seeing the delicious food, Su Tianli couldn't help but praise Cheng Yu.
"Cheng Yu, how come you are such a good cook? Wow, today's meal looks good just by the colors! The red homemade tofu, the white fish bone tofu, the green stir-fried vegetables, and the steamed fish... they all look delicious!"
"Cheng Yu, you are amazing! You are good at both literature and martial arts!"
"A man should be like you, capable of both being a gentleman and being a housewife!" Su Tianli praised her loudly.
Cheng Yu's face turned red because of her praise.
However, he still had some doubts, "... can he be both a housewife and a cook?"
What's the meaning?
Su Tianli was stunned for a moment before she realized that this sentence actually came from "Rebirth of the 1970s Beauty".
The greatest compliment that the book gives to the heroine He Wanqian is the eight words "good at both being a lady and a good cook", so they appear repeatedly in the book. The general meaning should be to praise the heroine He Wanqian for being presentable and suitable for both home and family.
In fact, Su Tianli felt that this compliment was weird.
Because this sentence seems to be praising women from a male's perspective.
Until now, Su Tianli enjoyed Cheng Yu's full service and couldn't help but say these eight words...
Su Tianli realized that
This statement is made from the perspective of vested interests.
"It means to praise you for taking care of everything..." Su Tianli explained with a smile.
Cheng Yu muttered, "It's weird... Let's eat!"
Su Tianli nodded.
The couple started eating again.
If Su Tianli had not eaten the raw tomatoes and drank the sweet rice candy before, the couple would have been able to have a delicious meal with the three dishes and one soup today.
But Su Tianli really couldn't eat any more.
There was just a bowl of slightly mushy and burnt rice left, as well as two pieces of fried tofu, half a plate of vegetables and a little bit of leftover fish soup.
Cheng Yu looked at the leftovers and said, "Save them for me to eat tomorrow."
Su Tianli disagreed, "You can't keep the tofu overnight, it will go bad! Besides, the rice is all mushy, and there's not much of it, who will eat it?"
Even so, Cheng Yu was reluctant to throw it away. "Let's put it here first. What if I get hungry in the middle of the night?"
Hearing this, Su Tianli blushed and glared at him fiercely, "Why are you hungry in the middle of the night?"
Cheng Yu just smiled and said nothing.
After dinner, Cheng Yu cleaned up the mess, took the trash can and went out to dump it. When he came back, he went to the neighbor's house to get the vegetables that Su Dejun had deposited today.
Cheng Yu told Su Tianli, "Lizhi, He Wanqian is still standing at our door!"
"When I went to take out the trash, He Wanqian said she wanted to talk to you, but I didn't let her..."
"When I came back from taking out the trash, she tried to force her way in! I wouldn't let her in, and she kept crying!"
"Then several neighbors came to ask me what was going on... Some even asked me if I owed He Wanqian money..." As Cheng Yu spoke, his expression didn't look very good.
Su Tianli thought about it and said, "Then let He Wanqian come in. I'll see what she wants to do... We just happened to have one bowl of rice left, so let's give it to her."
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded, opened the door and let He Wanqian in.
As He Wanqian entered the yard, she was shocked.
When she stood outside the yard, she wondered why Su Tianli's house was so big!
Come in and take a look.
He Wanqian became even more jealous.
Such a beautiful and tidy yard...
It’s a two-and-a-half-story villa!
How did Su Tianli make so much money?
After thinking about it, He Wanqian told herself: It's okay, this house was not necessarily bought by Su Tianli. After all, Cheng Yu's biological mother is powerful and rich. Maybe it was sponsored by Xu Jiaxi, or Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu!
Thinking of this, He Wanqian calmed down a lot.
"He Wanqian, you haven't had dinner yet, right?" Su Tianli said with a smile, "Welcome to my home, come and sit down! Cheng Yu, quickly bring the food over for the guests to eat."
So Cheng Yu took the bowl of leftovers.
He Wanqian understood it at a glance - isn't this just a bowl of leftover rice!
She was a little angry, "Su Tianli, what do you mean?"
Is there such a way to invite people to dinner?
There is no sincerity at all.
Su Tianli didn't spoil He Wanqian, "If you don't want to eat, I won't force you."
He Wanqian bit her lower lip.
Of course she disliked that this bowl of rice was the leftovers of Su Tianli and Cheng Yu.
But she was very hungry...
This rice looks like leftovers, but it smells delicious.
So, He Wanqian picked up the bowl angrily and started eating with a wronged look on her face.
