Zhang rinsed the cooked noodles in a basin of cold water, and then waited for the prawns from Old Lady Xu to be fried until cooked, then poured them in and mixed them all together.
This method was taught by Xu Ning. Rinse the cooked noodles with cold water to make them more elastic and chewier.
The Xu family all love this method of eating. Whether it is soup noodles, mixed noodles or cold noodles, it is very delicious.
At this time, the shrimps on Old Lady Xu's side had turned into the most attractive color. Old Lady Xu's small stove was not big enough, so Zhang removed the fire from the bottom of the pot, scooped out the water in the pot and poured the noodles back in. Old Lady Xu then began to add the soy sauce given by Xu Ning.
"Okay! Take your bowls and eat!" Old Mrs. Xu poured the shrimps into the pot and stirred them. She looked up and shouted. Everyone in the Xu family automatically lined up by the pot with their bowls in hand.
The man Aji was still in a daze when Xu Da, who happened to be standing behind him, directly stuffed a bowl into his hand.
The man Aji looked down and saw the "bowl" in his hand and was stunned.
Next to the pot, the children of the Xu family were already eating.
"Slurp slurp slurp"
"Slurp slurp slurp"
"Alright, alright, take your first bite and move aside. Don't block your father and the others from pretending to be nice!"
"Slurp slurp slurp" was the sound of several children slurping noodles without even raising their heads in response to Old Lady Xu, but they still continued eating and moved around consciously.
"Aji, come here quickly, let me give you some face." Old Mrs. Xu knew how to change her expression. She had a look of disgust in the last second, but now she was smiling.
Old Mrs. Xu handed the filled bowl to her daughter-in-law Zhang, who turned around and handed it to Old Man Xu.
Ah Ji handed over the bowl embarrassedly. He had just looked for it and found that this was the only bowl left in the Xu family.
If he doesn't use the bowl, he has to use that small stove.
"Don't be shy, it will be hard to find a wife if you keep doing this." Xu Da patted his shoulder from behind. Just as Ah Ji was about to speak, he saw that Old Lady Xu had already filled half a bowl of noodles for him!
"Auntie, Auntie!! Enough is enough! I can't eat so much!" Old Mrs. Xu looked at Ah Ji's body and took two more bites with her chopsticks before stopping. At this time, the top of the bowl in her hand had already popped out.
Ah Ji was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. Old Mrs. Xu stuffed the bowl and chopsticks into his hands, and Xu Da, who was behind him, ran up quickly.
"Mom, I can do it myself! You should take a break!"
Xu Da took the chopsticks from Old Lady Xu, first picked up a large bowl for Old Lady Xu, then picked up a large bowl for his wife, and then served himself.
Old Mrs. Xu found a seat next to Old Man Xu, glanced at her son who was still busy, and whispered to Old Man Xu: "Old man, how do these shrimps taste?"
"It's delicious, the meat is firm and sweet." Old man Xu doesn't have many teeth, so he can only grind them slowly before eating shrimp.
Old Mrs. Xu took a bite and couldn't help nodding. "Just eat a few shrimps, and eat more noodles. It won't be so tiring."
"I know, I know. Eat more, wife." Old man Xu put down his bowl and chopsticks, peeled several shrimps and put them into Old Mrs. Xu's bowl.
Old Mrs. Xu brought Old Man Xu's bowl over again and scooped two chopsticks of noodles from her own bowl and gave it to him.
While Ah Ji lowered his head to eat noodles, he carefully observed everyone in the Xu family. He suddenly felt that the Xu family was very different and very warm.
That was a kind of warmth he had never experienced before. Xianyu Village was dominated by men, and so was his family. His mother, like the other women in the village, was the last person to eat. He had never felt that there was anything wrong before, but at this moment, he discovered that the atmosphere of getting along in the Xu family was what family was like!
Ah Ji looked down at the braised shrimp noodles in the bowl. This was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten. He thought his mother had never tasted noodles as delicious as this. "Auntie! Xu Da, can I take the leftovers home? I want to give some to my mother."
