The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

At this time, Qin Shu and Li Tongxin, mother and daughter, had also finished preparing the loofah and lettuce.

Xu Yingying instructed Li Tongxin, "Cousin Tongxin, when you're done, add two more raw eggs to the bowl of egg whites and beat them into egg liquid."

"Okay, cousin Yingying. I'll go beat the egg liquid right away." After hearing Xu Yingying's instructions, Li Tongxin responded positively.

"Auntie, can you help me prepare the sauce when you have time?" Xu Yingying asked.

"Okay, how do you want to make the sauce?" Qin Shu asked.

"Auntie, put half a bowl of water into the pot, add rock sugar, tomato sauce, hawthorn slices, sour plums, etc. into the pot, and simmer over low heat. When the sauce is thick, add red pepper slices and lemon juice to enhance the flavor." Xu Yingying answered seriously.

While listening to Xu Yingying's words, Qin Shu took the necessary ingredients to the cooking table and cooked them in one pot later.

While Qin Shu's sauce thickened, Xu Yingying had already boiled a pot of water on another stove. She took the spareribs out of the refrigerator, removed the scallion whites, and poured a little starch and water into a sauce over the ribs for a second thickening.

Xu Yingying then evenly pours a tablespoon of cooking oil over the ribs and spreads them out on the plate, avoiding any overlap. After the water in the steamer boils, place the plate in the pot and steam over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the ribs are cooked through.

Qin Shu's sauce was also ready. Xu Yingying set up another pot, added a little oil and two slices of ginger. She poured in the prepared sauce and thickened it with a touch of starch. She added the fried pork slices back into the pot and tossed them evenly with the sauce, coating them thoroughly with the sweet and sour sauce. After a quick stir-fry, she removed the meat from the pot and served it on a plate.

Li Tongxin, who had already beaten the eggs, saw Xu Yingying conjure up two dishes at once, and her eyes lit up. "Cousin, how are you so amazing?"

Qin Shu, who had been standing by, also felt that Xu Yingying had grown up in an instant. Yingying used to sit in the living room and wait for dinner when she came to their house, but now she can cook such complicated dishes.

"You'll get it as you watch." Xu Yingying continued to use the same rhetoric she had used with Xu Xiaofeng yesterday to deal with the two people in front of her.

While answering Li Tongxin's questions, Xu Yingying was already pouring more oil into the wok. Once the oil was hot, she added the egg mixture and stir-fried it until it solidified, then set aside. Then, she added more oil, added a little shredded ginger and minced garlic, and stir-fried until fragrant. Then, she added the sliced loofah and stir-fried it.

Add the scrambled eggs to the pan and stir-fry along with the loofah. Season with salt and pepper. When the loofah is softened, add chicken bouillon and chopped green onions. Finally, drizzle with a little sesame oil. Stir-fry until evenly combined and serve.

Seeing that Xu Yingying's third dish, fried loofah with eggs, was also out of the pot, Qin Shu suddenly said, "Yingying, you look tired and sweating. How about letting your aunt help you with this last dish of lettuce with oyster sauce? You've already made three dishes in a row, you must be very tired."

When Xu Yingying heard Qin Shu say this, she knew that her cheap aunt was worried about her, so she quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, aunt! I can take a break and go to the living room with my cousin to rest for a while." After that, she walked out of the kitchen with Li Tongxin.

Li Tongxin originally wanted to stay in the kitchen to learn how to cook, but Xu Yingying took her arm and led her to the living room. She had no choice but to follow Xu Yingying to the living room and sit down. She watched Xu Yingying wipe her sweat and drink water, then asked curiously, "Cousin Yingying, how come you can cook all of a sudden?"

Xu Yingying smiled lightly and replied, "What do you mean suddenly? I always liked going to the kitchen and watching my mother cook."

"Is this true?" Li Tongxin expressed disbelief at Xu Yingying's words. Is there anyone who likes to watch others cook?

"Weren't you just staring at me while I was cooking?" Xu Yingying asked back.

Li Tongxin was stunned by the question, unable to answer for a moment. Indeed, as she watched her cousin Yingying cook, an indescribable emotion welled up inside her. She felt a little confused, as the feeling felt both familiar and unfamiliar, prompting her to ask curiously, "Watching you cook just now, I suddenly felt something special. It was as if I was deeply drawn in by your movements, and my mood became very comfortable. But I don't know how to describe it."

Xu Yingying smiled and replied, "That is the power of healing."

Li Tongxin murmured to herself: "Cure?" She seemed to be full of doubts about the word.

"Yes, this is the feeling of being healed," Xu Yingying further explained. Her voice was gentle but firm, as if she was telling Li Tongxin an important secret. "When we focus on one thing, whether it's cooking, painting, writing, etc., we will devote our attention completely to it and forget all worries and stress.

This kind of focus can bring inner tranquility and peace, making people feel happy and satisfied. At the same time, we will also gain a sense of accomplishment and boost our self-confidence from what we do. In this way, our souls are nourished and fatigue and anxiety are relieved.

As Li Tongxin listened to her cousin Yingying's words, she gradually understood. This, then, was the power of healing. It existed not just in food but in every aspect of life. If we pay close attention, we'll discover that many things around us hold healing magic.

Xu Yingying continued, "So, next time you feel tired or down, try doing something that allows you to focus and enjoy yourself, like reading a favorite book, listening to beautiful music, or cooking a delicious meal. These small actions may bring you unexpected healing effects!"

Li Tongxin nodded to show that she understood.

At this time, the door of the Li family also opened from the outside. It was Li Tongxin's father, Li Zhiqiang, who came back. As soon as he opened the door, he could smell the aroma of food in the air.

"Wife, what did you cook today? It smells so good."

"Dad, this is the dish cooked by my cousin Yingying." Li Tongxin quickly replied when she heard Li Zhiqiang's question.

"Yingying is here today too. Have fun for two days before going back. This is your home too." Li Zhiqiang, who knew Xu Yingying's family situation, felt very sorry for his wife's niece.

"Thank you, uncle. I will." Xu Yingying replied immediately when she heard herself being mentioned.

At this time, Qin Shu also brought the last dish to the table.

The four of them sat down at the dinner table. Li Tongxin saw the four dishes and one soup on the table and thought that today's dishes were really too rich. She hadn't even started to sigh yet.
