I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 96 This is too rich
When Xu Congyi came out of the space, the father and his two sons had also returned, and the whole family had changed into new clothes for the New Year. Xu Congyi was about to go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, but was stopped by Xu the Hunter with his quick eyes and hands.
"Yi Yi, just go sit inside and let your two brothers serve the dishes." Having said that, he signaled his two sons to hurry up.
The grandparents and grandchildren of the Shen family also looked particularly energetic today. They were wearing brand new robes, which were obviously specially prepared for the New Year. Xu Congyi sat at the table and finally had the leisure to observe Shen Xiao carefully. Shen Xiao was wearing a dark blue robe today. The fabric of the robe was delicate, like the finest silk, and it was slightly shiny under the light. The robe was tailored to fit him very well, neither too tight nor too loose, just right to show the boy's upright figure. The collar and cuffs of the robe were embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns. Those cloud patterns were outlined with silver lines, forming a sharp contrast with the dark blue background, adding a sense of luxury without losing elegance.
Xu Congyi couldn't help but say, "Brother Shen Xiao, the clothes you're wearing today are so nice! They really suit Brother Shen Xiao's temperament." Her voice was full of appreciation.
Old Man Xu also nodded, expressing his agreement: "It is indeed beautiful and suits Xiao'er very well."
Grandpa Shen heard the compliment and talked about the origin of the clothes: "This was given to Xiao'er by Wenhao, and I, an old man, also have one." As he said that, he pointed to the robe on his body. Xu Congyi then realized that Grandpa Shen was wearing the same robe as Shen Xiao today, but the color and pattern were different. Grandpa Shen's robe was dark gray with bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the cuffs.
At this time, all the dishes were served on the table. Xu's mother called everyone to pick up their chopsticks: "Come, try our Yi Yi's cooking, it's absolutely delicious!" Xu's mother looked proud.
Old Man Shen looked at the table full of dishes with a surprised expression: "Oh, are all these made by girl Yi Yi? This is too sumptuous!"
Although Old Man Shen knew that Xu Congyi was a good cook, as could be seen from the recipe for diced eggplant and pork noodles he gave him, he had never tasted Xu Congyi's dishes because he had not come to the Xu family for a meal except for the noodles last time. Shen Xiao had come here several times and had eaten the cold rabbit cooked by Xu Congyi, so he did not seem too surprised. After all, he had already seen Xu Congyi's cooking skills when he ate clay pot chicken before.
Xu Congyi shook her head modestly: "It's not all made by me, my grandmother and mother helped me make it together." As she spoke, she called on everyone to pick up their chopsticks quickly, "Grandpa Shen, Brother Shen Xiao, please try it and see if it suits your appetite."
The braised pork in the middle was bright red, with fat and lean parts, and exuded an alluring aroma. Old Man Xu first picked up a piece for Old Man Shen and Shen Xiao respectively.
"This is braised pork. Our son Cong'an loves this dish the most. You guys should try it!"
Old man Shen picked up the braised pork and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, the tenderness of the meat and the richness of the sauce intertwined in his mouth. He closed his eyes and savored it carefully, as if he was enjoying a feast for the sense of taste. Old man Shen praised it highly: "This braised pork is really amazing, fat but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. The cooking skills of this girl are really amazing!"
Old Man Xu added another spoonful of minced meat and eggplant stew to Old Man Shen, and the softness of the eggplant and the deliciousness of the minced meat were perfectly blended. After the eggplant stew was stewed, the eggplant absorbed the essence of the gravy and tasted more delicious. The delicate taste of the minced meat and the softness of the eggplant complement each other, which makes people have endless aftertaste. Try the hot and sour potato shreds. This dish tastes sour and spicy. The potato shreds are cut finely and keep the crispy and tender taste during cooking. The hot and sour sauce is just right. Shen Xiao also bought cold rabbit for his grandfather. Cold rabbit is still a bit spicy for Old Man Shen, but today's potato shreds are neither too spicy nor too sour. Old Man Shen eats it with relish.
Shen Xiao saw that the fried small river fish was very fresh. After being marinated, the small river fish was fried until golden and crispy, and the meat was tender. The frying process maintained the freshness of the fish meat, but the fish bones were also fried crispy and could be eaten directly. He had never eaten it this way before. He used to catch fish from the river. This kind of small river fish was usually roasted, because there were too many bones so it had to be stewed until it was rotten, and was usually used to mix with noodles.
What Xu Congyi eats the most is steamed bread with fried egg white and radish soup. The sweetness of the white radish and the fragrance of the fried egg complement each other. The fried egg presents an attractive golden color in the soup, and the white radish is stewed until soft, releasing a faint fragrance. She dips the steamed bread in the soup and drinks several bowls of soup in a row.
As for the fish-flavored pork shreds, everyone followed Xu Congyi's example and put them in the steamed bread. It was the first time for Old Man Shen to taste this flavor. It tasted sour and sweet, and it seemed to have the aroma of fish. Xu Congyi told him that this dish could be made into rice or noodle stew, and asked him if he needed to write a copy for him. Old Man Shen was surprised but still refused. Now the noodle shop business is still very good. Relying on Xu Congyi's noodle stew recipe, the two of them, the grandfather and grandson, used to have only enough to make ends meet, but now they have a little extra money, and he is very satisfied.
This meal was a great success. Almost all the dishes on the table were cleared away. Everyone put the concept of "Clean Plate Campaign" into practice with practical actions. Xu Congyi deliberately controlled the amount of dishes and did not make them too rich. As a modern person, she knows the burden of excessive eating on the body, especially the damage to the stomach. She recalled the scene when Tang Wenhao came to her house for dinner before. He always groaned after eating. In fact, it was really bad for the stomach. Besides, there was another dinner in the evening. If you eat too much at noon, you may not have much appetite in the evening. Originally, Xu Congyi was still worrying about what dishes to cook in the evening. During the chat, Shen Xiao inadvertently mentioned the clay pot chicken they had eaten last time. He said that every time he recalled the taste of the clay pot chicken, he couldn't help but craving it. Xu Congyi suddenly had an idea. He thought that clay pot chicken was convenient and simple, and the taste was also very delicious. It was just right to make it again in the evening.
