Chapter 102 Cooking
"Seventh sister-in-law, um... do we have to cook so many dishes?"
Having just returned last night, Wu Huixin didn't know some things about Xia Qingyu. She was surprised by the number of dishes she mentioned and asked hesitantly.
"Well, prepare more of these dishes, the portions should be enough for everyone to eat." Xia Qingyu nodded with a smile.
There was no need for Xia Qingyu to tell her how to make stir-fried pork belly with green peppers, stir-fried potato slices, scrambled eggs with amaranth, and wild vegetable soup because she knew how to make them.
It sounds like four dishes and one soup, but there are so many people, and if one person takes a bite with chopsticks, it's gone. We still have to make more, otherwise, there won't be enough to eat.
Seeing Xiao Youmi reaching out his hand towards her, she smiled, took his little hand, and gently poked the little baby's face.
Her words were just a simple explanation, but they made the people who heard them feel their eyes sore and an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
Even the men in the yard had red eyes. Some were moving things, while others were busy weaving things with their heads down.
A lot of things happened in their family because of Xia Qingyu's arrival, and things were slowly getting better.
Old Mrs. Li turned her head and pretended to get a water scoop. She wiped away her tears quietly and said, "Listen to Qingyu."
"That's for sure." Lin Lan, Zhu Ping'an and Shen Qingqing spoke at the same time, "We all listen to Seventh Brother's wife."
Their seventh brother and sister-in-law are the lucky stars of the family, so it’s right to listen to her.
This idea has already taken root in the Li family's minds, probably since before they moved, when they saw that she could save lives and had miraculous medical skills.
In their eyes, she is a rare person and the lucky star of their family.
The parties involved were unaware of all this and Xia Qingyu was helping them.
Li Yanxi, who was standing next to them, was holding a knife. He wanted to stay with his wife, so he didn't move things with his brothers.
Imitation of what his mother and others had done in the past, Li Yanxi took out a porcelain bowl from the cupboard, turned it upside down in his hand, scraped the knife a few times with the bottom of the bowl, and prepared to cut the meat.
Seeing him follow into the kitchen to help cut meat, Xia Qingyu did not stop him, because it was useless to say anything.
If you sharpen the knife, it will be less difficult to cut meat with skin.
The pork belly fried with the skin on will taste better.
They came back from the mountain and still had the green peppers they picked. Xia Qingyu said, "Mom, wash the green peppers and cut them into rolling blades. The cutting method is the same as the potatoes before."
"Okay." Old Mrs. Li nodded, went to get the peppers, and cut them according to what her daughter-in-law said.
This pepper is not very spicy and not as sweet as fruit peppers. You can taste a bit of the pepper aroma, which is fragrant but not spicy.
When eating it for the first time, Xia Qingyu specially tasted it for fear that it was too spicy, in case they had never eaten it before and their stomachs could not adapt to it.
Xia Qingyu used a half and half ratio of pork belly and green pepper.
"Mom, put it here. Once the other ingredients are ready, you can start frying."
"Wash the pork belly and cut it into thin slices. Cut the potatoes into slices later." Xia Qingyu said as he explained to Li Yanxi who was cutting the meat.
Since everyone had never seen the dish that Xia Qingyu described, they were interested but didn't know how to cook it.
"I'll fry it once this time, and you can do it again in the future." Xia Qingyu said, preparing to start cooking.
When she was in the orphanage before, she had seen the director cook. She would pick vegetables to help. Occasionally, when the director went out, she would sit on a small stool and cook by herself.
Later, when the end of the world came, she awakened her special powers and went to the base, and she rarely ate normal meals.
However, because of her special abilities, after becoming an experimental subject, she tried new things every day, and a lot of knowledge was stuffed into her mind, including daily recipes.
"Sister-in-law, just tell me, I'll be able to do it after this."
Standing next to the stove, Xia Qingyu had her shoulders supported by Shen Qingqing. As she spoke, Shen Qingqing used a little force to turn her around.
"Yes, we sisters-in-law are here in the kitchen, so you can focus on other things."
Shen Qingqing and the others unanimously decided to let Xia Qingyu help and give instructions, and have the sisters-in-law also help out and learn more, so that the seventh brother's wife wouldn't have to go into the kitchen.
"Okay." Originally, Xia Qingyu wanted to take action, but they refused, saying that they, the sisters-in-law, could do it instead.
"The potatoes are here." Li Yanzhu peeled the potatoes, washed them, and brought them to his brother to cut. He and his brother went to the kitchen to help cook.
Hearing his wife's words, Li Yanxi nodded gently and did as his wife said.
The kitchen was right next to the yard, and Xia Qingyu and the others' conversation was also heard by the people in the yard.
"Grandpa, Dad, Aunt Qi is so awesome. I want to learn from her in the future." Tuantuan sat on a small stool with bright eyes, his elbows on his knees, supporting his little chin.
In the yard, the brother and sister Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were learning to make straw ropes like the adults next to them, and would hand them to their grandfather to see from time to time.
"Grandpa, me too." Youtian, who is the same age as Tuantuan, quickly followed suit and talked to Grandpa Li and the others with a smile.
When they came back from their grandmother's house, they heard sister Tuantuan and brother Yuanyuan talking about Aunt Qi. Youtian, who was only four years old, also admired her very much.
Even Youmi, who was standing next to them, spoke in a baby voice, imitating his older brothers and sisters and saying that he wanted to learn.
"Haha, they are such smart little kids." After listening to his grandchildren's thoughts, Grandpa Li put down the bamboo basket in his hand.
I didn't take it seriously. Kids are curious about everything, so I thought they were just talking casually.
After moving the things, the adults who were weaving things in the yard heard what the children said, looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Learning takes time. If you guys hang out and play all the time, you won't have time. Your Seventh Aunt won't teach a naughty little monkey." Looking at the kitchen from time to time, the eldest brother Li Yanfeng deliberately scared them.
"Then I'll play for half a day and spend half a day studying." Tuantuan said solemnly.
She could do it. There was candy at that time. It was very sweet and she wanted to eat it, but she held back. She wanted to learn things from Aunt Qi, so she was sure she could do it.
"Also, you need to ask your Seventh Aunt whether she can teach you." The fourth child, Li Yanqi, also spoke up, "Also, to learn something, you need to find a master. Whether she will accept an apprentice depends on your Seventh Aunt's wishes."
Whether you are learning knowledge or skills, you must first find a master and find someone willing to accept you as your apprentice before you can slowly start learning.
"Is that so?" The kids were still young and obviously didn't quite understand what the adults meant. "Then we'll go ask Aunt Qi first."
There was not enough time, so Xia Qingyu did not boil the pork fat immediately. Instead, he asked Shen Qingqing to cut a few pieces temporarily and boil the oil for frying potato chips.
It takes time to boil pork fat, so wait until everyone has finished eating and then boil it slowly.
The lard in the pot came out, and Xia Qingyu said, "Third sister-in-law, start adding the potato slices now. Fry them for a while and then turn them over. When both sides are golden brown, add salt and other seasonings, and you can serve it."
As for the wild vegetable soup, sister-in-law Zhu Ping'an had already prepared it and was about to take it out of the pot. She put it aside and helped beat the eggs.
Xia Qingyu had originally intended to sell the eggs laid by Wangcai and his friends, but later, because of the wild boar, she decided not to sell them and to keep them for herself.
