The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"Auntie is at home now, so it's okay for her to help you, right?"

"Of course." Xu Yingying agreed and prepared to wash rice.

Qin Shu felt relieved after hearing this. This way, he could find an opportunity to talk to Yingying alone while cooking.

Seeing Xu Yingying about to wash the rice, Qin Shu immediately stepped forward and took over, saying, "Let Auntie do the cooking. You can go and prepare something."

Xu Yingying didn't refuse Qin Shu's words. After handing the rice cooker to Aunt Qin, she opened the refrigerator and took the ribs and tenderloin out of it and placed them on the counter. Then she placed the lettuce, loofah, and two eggs on the counter.

Xu Yingying looked up and asked Qin Shu, "Aunt, do you have fermented black beans at home?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you. How much do you want?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yingying said, "I want a small handful. Could you please help me prepare some garlic, onions, ginger, and other small ingredients?"

"Sure. Just tell me if there's anything else you need help with." Qin Shu replied to Xu Yingying while washing rice smoothly without a pause.

At this time, Li Tongxin, who had been standing outside the kitchen door watching the interaction between the two people in the kitchen, suddenly felt that she really didn't understand cousin Yingying at all.

It turns out that cousin Yingying can actually cook?

And then there's the matter of Cousin Yingying acting like a superior in front of her mother, Qin Shu. She wondered when her mother would ever be so humble to her. The kitchen had always been her mother's battlefield; anyone who dared to say anything would be kicked out.

Li Tongxin never thought that she would see such a scene in her own kitchen. It was more novel to her than the TV dramas she watched on TV that made her unable to move.

Even her mother's current appearance made her feel like she was recognizing her again. Did her mother actually have this side to her?

How could she not have noticed it before?

At this time, Xiao Wu suddenly said to the host: "Host, Li Tongxin has been secretly watching your interaction outside the door."

Xu Yingying thought about what Xiaowu said and felt that this might be a great opportunity to change the target's mind. Although she had already talked a lot with this little cousin today, it would be better to strike while the iron is hot.

After all, I'm only here for the weekend, so I'll try to get things done during this time. Judging from the understanding my cousin has shown, it seems she just doesn't have anyone to guide her. This should have a good effect.

Xu Yingying had a good idea of how things were going to develop, and she was ready to have a deep conversation with Aunt Qin while making dinner. Qin Shu, who was helping her, didn't know that while she was thinking about how to talk to Xu Yingying about her secrets, Xu Yingying was also ready to guide Li Tongxin through her conversation with Qin Shu.

Xu Yingying first washed the ribs and placed them in a sieve to drain the water. Then she washed the tenderloin, cut it into small pieces and placed it in a large bowl. She placed the drained ribs on a plate and added appropriate amounts of oil, sugar, soy sauce, starch, and salt, mixing them evenly and marinating them. At this time, Xu Yingying looked at Qin Shu and said, "Auntie, do you have the minced garlic and fermented black beans?"

Qin Shu had just put the rice pot into the rice cooker and covered it. When he heard Xu Yingying's words, he immediately replied, "Give me three minutes."

Xu Yingying didn't urge her, but just said, "Okay."

After that, he opened the eggs and separated the yolk and white into two bowls. Then he added a little salt and egg yolk to the tenderloin in the large bowl and marinated it.

Meanwhile, Qin Shu had already prepared the minced garlic and fermented black beans and handed the bowl to Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying took the bowl and added the minced garlic and fermented black beans to the marinated spareribs, mixing them thoroughly. She then added an appropriate amount of cornstarch and mixed thoroughly with her hands, ensuring that each piece of sparerib was coated. She then covered the mixture with plastic wrap and placed it in the refrigerator to marinate.

"Yingying, is there anything else I can help you with?" Qin Shu asked.

"Auntie, the lettuce and loofah also need to be washed and cut." Xu Yingying replied while washing the pot.

At this moment, Li Tongxin, who was standing outside the door, suddenly felt that she should go and help, so she walked into the kitchen and said to the two of them, "Mom, Cousin Yingying, I want to help too."

Qin Shu was surprised to see Li Tongxin come in and ask if the meal was ready but instead wanted to help. But he didn't want her to come in and help. Just as he was about to send her out to the hall to play, he heard Xu Yingying say, "Then cousin Tongxin, go help your aunt wash the vegetables."

"Why does she need help with the dishes? I can wash them all by myself." Qin Shu refused decisively.

"Aunt, since cousin Tongxin wants to help, let her help. You are refusing her help now because you think she can't do it or..." Before Xu Yingying finished speaking, Li Tongxin continued, "That's right, Mom, who are you looking down on? It's just washing vegetables, what's so difficult about it."

After saying that, he went to fetch water to wash the vegetables.

"Oh my, kid, is this a question of whether you can wash vegetables? Isn't mom afraid that you will be tired?" Qin Shu murmured.

Xu Yingying, who was standing by, promptly continued Qin Shu's words, "Aunt, cousin Tongxin is already ten years old, so she's not too young to learn how to cook. If you learn now, she'll get the hang of it quickly. You don't want her to cook every day. I know you care about her, but at least she should learn this skill. No matter what happens in the future, at least she'll be able to cook, right?"

After hearing what Xu Yingying said, Qin Shu didn't continue. Xu Yingying knew that Qin Shu had listened to her. So the kitchen suddenly became a Shura field for Qin Shu and her daughter.

"Oh my goodness. You have to break the vegetable into pieces before washing it. Who washes it whole like you do? It's impossible to wash it clean." Qin Shu had just peeled the loofah and was about to wash it when she saw the way her children washed the lettuce and she couldn't help but nagging again.

"Mom, you never taught me how to wash lettuce, so I don't know it, right?" Li Tongxin lowered her head in grievance and said softly.

Hearing Li Tongxin's aggrieved words, Qin Shu's motherly heart overflowed again. "Mom is just like that when she speaks. I'm not blaming you, but that's it. Forget it, I'll do it once now, and you can follow."

Xu Yingying, who was heating oil nearby, saw this scene and thought that a mother's love for her child might prevent the child from growing up. After all, it's not the first time for everyone to be a mother, and it's not the first time for everyone to be a daughter.

Xu Yingying's oil has been heated to the point where it's starting to smoke. She quickly puts the marinated meat pieces into the pan one by one, deep-frying them over medium heat until golden and crispy. She then turns to high heat before serving. Remove the meat and set it aside.
