Chapter 72 Delicious Northeastern Cuisine
Jin Duoduo's mother is a typical Northeastern woman. She is straightforward and honest. She speaks directly, likes what she likes, and does not hide her dislike.
"Hmm~ Auntie, the juice you squeeze is really delicious." Bai Tang praised her a little at the right time.
This made Mother Jin very happy.
"Hey, Mom, yours is almost done, it's still greasy. Why is there only Tangtang's juice? Where's mine?" Jin Duoduo was trying to sabotage her mother.
"You silly girl, when have you ever drunk fruit juice? I squeeze it for you occasionally and you still despise it. Go away, drink your Coke, okay?" Mother Jin was ruthless when she talked to her daughter.
Bai Tang was full of envy watching the interaction between the mother and daughter.
Although on the surface it was just mother and daughter bickering with each other, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had a very good relationship.
When my mother was still alive, my life was also so warm.
Perhaps sensing Bai Tang's mood change, Jin's mother simply sent Jin Duoduo away and asked her to find something to drink by herself.
Then she sat next to Bai Tang and held her hand, "Tangtang, come to Auntie's house often when you have nothing to do. Tell Auntie what you want to eat and I will make it for you."
Women's minds are always very delicate. Although she didn't know why Bai Tang suddenly felt depressed, Mother Jin still hurried to comfort Bai Tang.
"Okay, Auntie, this time I come here to get to know you. I will come here often in the future."
At this time, Jin Duoduo walked into the living room while drinking a can of ice cola.
"Hey, you are such a partial mother. You never cook for me whatever I want to eat. Also, I just found out that Tangtang also has a house in our neighborhood. If she lives in Tianxi in the future, she can come over often."
When Jin's mother heard this, she was so happy that she even forgot to scold Jin Duoduo for drinking ice cola again.
"Really, Tangtang? You also have a house in Tianxi, that's great. It's settled, if you live in Tianxi, you must come to see your aunt. You don't know how much your aunt likes you." Mother Jin really spoke from the bottom of her heart.
Lunch was Northeastern specialties prepared by Jin’s mother.
The pork, sauerkraut and vermicelli stewed with pork was made with freshly slaughtered pork that Jin's mother had someone find in the morning. The vermicelli was also sent from her hometown in Northeast China. Combined with the sauerkraut that she pickled herself, the taste is simply amazing.
In addition, there were a few hot dishes such as three fresh vegetables and braised pork slices. Mother Jin also prepared a large Northeastern rice noodle and a large mixed vegetable. She was afraid that Bai Tang would not be used to it, so she did not prepare pickled vegetables today.
Bai Tang ignored Jin's mother's dissuasion and rolled up his sleeves to help in the kitchen.
After careful observation, Mother Jin discovered that Bai Tang was not pretending. This girl really knew how to cook and had good skills.
At the end, Bai Tang fried some shredded cabbage by herself, and a large table of sumptuous lunch was ready.
"Look at Tangtang, she is much younger than you, but she can do everything. Unlike you, she can only eat." While Jin's mother was using a serving chopstick to pick up food for Baitang, she was also talking to Jin Duoduo.
This time, Jin Duoduo didn't dare to talk back. Because she had seen Bai Tang's performance just now. It was so awesome, and he was able to play with pots and pans in a very professional manner. She, Jin Duoduo, was defeated in this round.
Mother Jin was in a good mood today, so she took out the Feitian Moutai that Bai Tang brought and had a small bowl for herself. The generosity of Northeastern women was fully reflected at this moment.
"Tangtang and Duoduo, you two should drink the fruit juice drinks. You are still young and you dare not learn from your aunt. I only like white wine. It just so happens that Tangtang brought some good wine today, so I will take some advantage of it." After saying that, she tilted her head back and finished half the bowl.
Jin Duoduo covered her mouth and laughed secretly, but Bai Tang was not surprised. Because his family was in Meng Province, the drinking was good there, and there were many women who could drink. Bai Tang was not surprised.
Drinking a sip of juice and eating a bite of authentic Northeastern cuisine, Xiao Yang felt so comfortable. Jin Duoduo looked at him in confusion. Is the meal my mother cooked so delicious? He took a bite and found that it still tasted the same.
Bai Tang enjoyed the meal, and Jin's mother naturally enjoyed watching. As we all know, the greatest joy for a chef is that his or her work is loved by diners.
After finishing the wine at the bottom of her bowl, Mother Jin poured herself another full bowl.
"Tangtang, how is it? Is Auntie's cooking today to your liking?"
Bai Tang was struggling with a large bone. "It's delicious, Auntie. It suits my taste very well. I think I'll be full after today's meal."
Mother Jin happily took another sip, "As long as you like it, I'm glad you're good at cooking. You're really amazing at such a young age."
"You don't know, I occasionally cook some Northeastern home-cooked dishes, but Duoduo and his father say they taste too strong and they don't eat well. Duoduo said you're from Mongolia, so our tastes should be similar."
"Come over often if you want to eat. We'll cook Northeastern food and starve them to death."
"And this wine, tell me, her dad loves to drink red wine, that stuff is so bad, I told him to drink some white wine, but her dad wouldn't drink with me."
Mother Jin was also very happy today and she opened up completely. People from Northeast China talk a lot and they can't stop once they start talking.
Bai Tang ate his meal seriously while agreeing with Jin's mother. He looked so delicious while eating. Jin Duoduo even ate half a bowl of rice more today.
Before they knew it, lunch was over. Bai Tang was really full, and Jin Duoduo was no less full.
Mother Jin let loose today and drank a whole bottle of Moutai by herself. Even so, she watched her two children not drink more, otherwise the remaining bottle would not have escaped her clutches.
Seeing Mother Jin drink a bottle of white wine without blushing or beating her heart, she was almost like a normal person, and she cleaned the table quickly and decisively.
Bai Tang couldn't help but give Jin's mother a thumbs up. "Auntie, you are awesome. You drank so much and acted like nothing happened."
Mother Jin laughed out loud at Bai Tang's cute appearance, "Oh, this is not something you can praise. Auntie was even more powerful when she was young. This little bit of wine you drank today is just a drop in the bucket."
Bai Tang was also infected by the lovely mother Jin. The two of them looked more like mother and daughter, and they were completely running towards each other.
Bai Tang, who wiped his mouth and wanted to help clean up the mess, failed this time and was forcibly sent to the living room to watch TV by Jin's mother. On the contrary, Jin Duoduo did not escape and was dragged along with him to clean up the mess with a sad face.
Northeastern dishes are all greasy and contain a lot of oil and salt. The dishes are also difficult to clean. Jin Duoduo almost cried.
Although the Jin family is also a wealthy family, it is obvious that Jin's mother is good at managing household chores. The seemingly messy restaurant and kitchen were quickly cleaned up tidy.
After the meal, the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted about family matters.
The meal brought them closer, and Bai Tang was no longer too reserved. It was mainly because the Northeastern people were so proactive and enthusiastic that it was hard to be reserved.
Chatting with Jin's mother, Bai Tang hadn't felt this way for a long time. Well, it was the feeling of home. Warm and comfortable.
Mother Jin also learned a lot about Bai Tang through chatting, but of course Bai Tang didn't tell her the details.
When she learned that Bai Tang was about to go to Kyoto Normal University, Jin's mother praised him while criticizing Jin Duoduo.
Jin Duoduo sat on the side, wanting to cry but unable to. Was today really her Good Friday? She had never missed her dear daddy as much as she did today.
Mother Jin also knew that she had to quit while she was ahead, so she let her own daughter go for the time being.
Jin Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that he couldn't let Jin's mother go on like this. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
"Tangtang, do you want to go and take a look at your house in Tianxi? You haven't been there since you bought it. Let's go for a walk." It's true that Jin Duoduo's idea is really impeccable.
Mother Jin also nodded and said, "Yes, go and take a look. Otherwise, you won't know whether the cleaning is done carefully or not." Of course, Mother Jin didn't know that Bai Tang had a housekeeper like Zhou Jing who would take care of everything.
"Then let's go for a walk. Auntie will come with us." Bai Tang's words made Jin Duoduo shudder. My goodness, Bai Tang, you are worthy of being my, Jin Duoduo's nemesis.
But Jin Duoduo was relieved by her mother's words. "You young people can go and look around. Auntie won't go. I'm a little sleepy after drinking a little. It's a good time to take a nap."
Bai Tang wanted to say something when she felt her skirt being pulled. She turned around and saw Jin Duoduo making faces.
“Puff…”
"Okay then, Auntie, you take a good nap. Sister Duoduo and I will go over to take a look. This way we won't disturb your nap." Bai Tang knew what Jin Duoduo meant, and his strange expression made her laugh.
