I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 121 Patient meal
When Shen Xiao's stomach made that embarrassing "gurgling" sound, Xu Congyi couldn't help but chuckle, but laughter was laughter. Since guests had come to her little space, there was no reason not to let them eat their fill.
Shen Xiao had some injuries, although they were not serious, but he still couldn't eat spicy food. Originally, Xu Congyi planned to make a tomato and egg noodles, but when he remembered that the Shen family ran a noodle shop, he thought of making something else.
"Brother Shen Xiao, it's already noon. I'll cook here. I'll say hello to Grandpa before I leave and I'll be back later. Let's eat first and then go out. Please wait for a while."
Shen Xiao nodded. They had already exchanged secrets, so why should he be so polite? "Sister Xu, thank you for your hard work. I was disrespectful just now, but I am really hungry."
The two of them joked around for a few times, and Xu Congyi asked Shen Xiao to sit on the sofa in the living room for a while. The sofa was soft and just right for resting, while she went to the kitchen to busy herself.
This was the first time Xu Congyi had turned on a fire in the space. Although she had cooked potato noodles and snail noodles before, she had always used an electric cooker and had not used a gas stove for a long time. She used her own earthen stove here, so when Xu Congyi turned the switch lightly and the blue flames suddenly jumped out, she couldn't help but sigh, gas is so much more convenient!
For two people to eat, two dishes are enough. She bought some fresh ribs to stew ribs with potatoes, and then stir-fried some vegetables. The staple food is braised rice. Xu Congyi first washed the ribs and cut them into pieces of appropriate size. Then put the ribs into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, ginger slices, and cooking wine, boil over high heat, skim off the foam, and simmer slowly over low heat. During the stewing process, she observed the heat from time to time to ensure that the ribs can fully absorb the essence of the soup and become soft and tasty. At the same time, Xu Congyi peeled and washed the potatoes and cut them into dice. When the ribs were stewed to 70% to 80%, she put the potato cubes into the pot and continued to stew. The addition of potatoes makes the soup more rich, and the deliciousness of the ribs and the softness of the potatoes are intertwined in the pot, exuding an attractive aroma.
While waiting for the ribs to cook, Xu Congyi was not idle. She washed the greens, drained them, and cut them into pieces. Then, she heated the wok, poured in a proper amount of oil, and when the oil temperature rose, she quickly stir-fried the greens. She skillfully controlled the heat and the speed of stir-frying, allowing the greens to remain fresh and green while fully absorbing the flavor of the seasoning. Soon, the stir-fried greens were ready.
Xu Congyi put the stewed rice into a bowl, and then placed the stewed potatoes, pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables on the table one by one.
"Brother Shen Xiao, come and have dinner." Xu Congyi walked a few steps towards the living room and called Shen Xiao to come for dinner.
Shen Xiao was not used to sitting on a soft sofa. She had wanted Shen Xiao to sit on the sofa to rest and lean back to be more comfortable, but she had overlooked that there were no sofas in this era. The places where people usually sat were made of wood, which was solid and could provide stable support. Even if there were cushions on them, they would not be as soft as modern sofas that people could sink into. Shen Xiao sat on the sofa and felt the softness and comfort he had never experienced before, but at the same time he felt a little uncomfortable.
Although Xu Congyi's apartment is not big, it is very cozy. Her sofa is a tech fabric sofa that she bought from a second-hand market. This type of sofa was quite popular at the time. The characteristic of the tech fabric sofa is that its surface material is soft and breathable. It feels very comfortable to sit on it, as if being gently wrapped by clouds. But because of this softness, the sofa is easy to deform.
Shen Xiao was sitting on this sofa at the moment, and his posture was a little peculiar. He seemed to be "swallowed" by the sofa, sinking into the soft cushion. But even though his body was surrounded by such a soft material, his back was still straight, as if he was in a silent contest with the softness of the sofa.
This scene made Xu Congyi laugh uncontrollably. She took off her apron, walked to Shen Xiao, and threw herself onto the sofa.
"Well, comfortable!" Xu Congyi couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.
She turned her head and looked at Shen Xiao, her eyes full of smiles, "Brother Shen Xiao, don't sit so straight, how can you relax like this? You should lean down, that's the real relaxation. Why don't you try it?"
Xu Congyi's appearance surprised Shen Xiao. He looked down at his straight body, then at Xu Congyi's relaxed face, and couldn't help but waver. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly relaxed his body and leaned back.
As he leaned back, Shen Xiao felt the soft material of the sofa gently wrapping around his body, as if he was surrounded by warm clouds. This touch made him feel unprecedentedly comfortable. He relaxed his tense muscles and let the weight of his body sink completely into the embrace of the sofa.
After waiting for a while, Xu Cong saw that Shen Xiao was still immersed in it, so he smiled and reminded him: "Brother Shen Xiao, let's go eat first, otherwise the food will get cold." Shen Xiao came back to his senses, nodded, and the two walked towards the dining table together.
After Shen Xiao sat down, he took a deep breath, feeling the aroma of the food spreading through his nose. His stomach, which had been quiet because of relaxation, began to growl again after smelling the tempting aroma of the food, as if urging him to enjoy this delicious meal quickly.
"What are you waiting for? Eat quickly!" Xu Congyi's voice revealed a hint of urging and smile. She had just taken two cans of juice from the snack cabinet, but when she came back, she found that Shen Xiao was still sitting there, without moving his chopsticks.
"Of course I'm waiting for you." Shen Xiao's tone was relaxed and natural. After all, this was the meal that Xu Congyi had worked hard to prepare, so it didn't make sense for the guests to eat before the host started eating.
Xu Congyi couldn't help laughing when she heard it. She gently shook the juice in her hand and said, "Stupid, I'm going to get something to drink. You can eat first when the meal is ready. You don't have to wait for me."
Xu Congyi opened the drink and handed it to Shen Xiao for him to try, saying that this was a drink that the gods drank and it was delicious. She took out grape juice, and Shen Xiao's eyes lit up when he tasted it. It was indeed delicious! If Tang Wenhao was here, he would definitely beg Xu Congyi to sell him this juice.
