She had clearly written on her face that she didn't welcome someone, but the other person seemed unaware and walked in openly.
It just so happened that the aunt at home had something to do tonight and had to leave two hours early, so there was no time to make dinner. Sangzhi took over her job and rushed into the kitchen.
Out of sight, out of mind.
There were some sweet potatoes and fish heads on the kitchen stove. The fish was delivered by Wu Guan last night.
Because it was silver carp, the meat was braised by my aunt.
The fish head had a strong fishy smell, and my aunt couldn’t cook it well, so I left it to her to deal with.
Sangzhi promised the two children last night that she would make fish head tofu soup and candied sweet potato today.
Although my mind is not on that right now, I have to fulfill the promise I made earlier.
The two kids outside are still asking the guests what she did today.
Why am I so tired and so abnormal?
Upon hearing this, the 'culprit' touched his nose guiltily and said nothing.
He came to the kitchen to help, but as soon as he came in, before he could even open his mouth, he received a warning glare.
She held the spoon and glared at me, as if to say, "If you don't want to be knocked out by me, just come over here."
Qin Yuan was now guarding against Jiang Yan as if he were a thief.
Seeing him go into the kitchen, I wanted to follow him.
But just as he stood up, he was stopped by his "left and right guards" who kept urging him to continue talking about the thrilling events of the day.
There was no other way but to appease the little ancestors first, and besides, today was indeed thrilling and exciting, and people could be immersed in it without any exaggeration.
Wei Lingdong kept sighing, thinking that he should not have read comic books at home. He should have gone out to join in the fun.
It must be exciting to save two people at once.
He couldn't get away, and Jiang Yan now realized that he was pushing her too hard, and it would be more trouble than it would take if she resisted too hard, so he tactfully left the kitchen.
………
The oil for frying fish with mulberry branches is a mixture of lard and peanut oil. When the oil is hot and the fish head is put into the pan, the aroma of green onion, ginger and the smell of lard quickly spread throughout the kitchen.
After the fish head is colored, add boiling water and simmer for twenty minutes. When the soup has turned white, add tofu, seasoning and fungus.
During this process, oil was heated on a small stove and sweet potato cubes were fried.
Whenever this happened, she would feel especially grateful to Wei Lingdong's parents.
If they hadn't sent her meat and oil from time to time as a cover, she wouldn't have had the chance to take anything from the space.
There was a crackling sound coming from the kitchen.
In a short while, the three dishes and one soup were ready.
My uncle also came back from the retirement home at this time. He could eat as soon as he came home. Two young men he had been looking forward to seeing were also there. The old man was very happy.
Sangzhi had finished cooking, but when she saw someone still lingering, she rudely chased him away, "We've already eaten, why aren't you leaving?"
She is usually very tactful and makes people feel comfortable when doing things.
I have never been so disrespectful to anyone.
Qin Yuan was enjoying the fun, taking advantage of the situation and saying, "Yes, we are all going to eat, why don't you leave?"
Although I don't know what happened between the two of them in the afternoon, this situation is beneficial to him.
Sang Bei tugged at her sister's sleeve, looking embarrassed, "Sister, I paid for the food some time ago."
After he reminded her, Sangzhi realized that this was indeed the case. Not only did they pay, but they also paid in excess.
Today, in addition to tofu fish head soup with candied sweet potato, I also made hot and sour cabbage, homemade tofu, and black bean sauce spare ribs.
Wei Lingdong also joined in the fun, picking up a piece of pork ribs and agreeing, "I paid for the food too, she didn't chase me away."
He had been craving for spare ribs for a long time. When he saw the dish at hand, he picked up a piece with chopsticks. After just a few chews, his happy expression froze.
After looking at the spareribs, I looked at the mulberry branches.
As if suspecting that there was something wrong with his sense of taste, the man picked up another piece and this time secretly spit it out.
It was just a small incident, and his action did not attract the attention of others.
After a confrontation, Qin Yuan finally knew what it felt like to shoot himself in the foot.
There were only three outsiders in the room, including him. The other two paid for their living expenses, so he was the only one who was eating for free.
The person who was chatting and laughing just now was a little restless now.
Scratching his head, "Then I have to pay for living expenses too?"
Sangzhi rolled her eyes at him, wondering why he was joining in the fun.
Putting aside the fact that he doesn't work or live here, she just feels embarrassed to ask him to pay because he always comes to her house empty-handed.
My uncle tried to smooth things over and said it was all a joke and that we should eat quickly or the food would get cold.
However, the old man who usually supported her the most frowned after drinking a few mouthfuls of tofu soup.
The fish soup, which is usually extremely delicious, tastes particularly different today. In addition to being fresh, it also has an unignorable sweetness.
He didn't believe it and picked up another piece of pork ribs, this time his brows furrowed even more.
As for the black bean sauce spare ribs, Sangzhi had made it once at home and it was absolutely amazing.
I don’t know where the fermented black beans were bought from, but they are smooth, oily and black, moist and with loose seeds, and a mellow and sweet aroma.
I heard that fermented rice and white wine are added to the fermented black beans, so the taste is good.
This dish is the main ingredient, and seasonings such as bean paste, sugar, ginger, and garlic are used as auxiliary ingredients.
The overall flavor is crispy, salty, slightly spicy, and sweet.
But the taste is completely different from last time, and it’s a bit sour.
I can’t say it’s hard to swallow, but after having eaten delicious food, this dish is a bit hard to swallow.
In fact, it’s not just him.
The other people at the table also had different expressions after tasting the dishes.
The fish head soup was sweet, the candied sweet potato was salty, the spareribs in black bean sauce was sour, and the remaining two home-cooked dishes were not well-presented, and the taste was hard to describe.
Sangzhi herself has no appetite.
She always felt particularly hot.
Seeing that they were not very enthusiastic about eating, I curiously asked them if the food was not to their liking.
