Chapter 178 Snowball Gets Angry
"Are you stupid? It's hot."
Xu Yiyi handed over a bowl of rice porridge.
Lao Lu quickly grabbed it and poured it down his throat.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine."
Lao Lu covered his mouth, but there were blisters inside, and it hurt every time he swallowed his saliva.
But when I think about the delicious food, it’s worth it.
Xu Yiyi sneered and brought out the crispy fish skin sprinkled with chili powder.
"What are you doing?"
Lao Lu followed closely with the rice dew in his hand, his eyes fixed on the fish skin.
"Only you can eat it?"
Xu Yiyi glanced at him sideways, and Lao Lu was instantly speechless.
The golden and crispy fried fish skin was eaten up before he could even taste it.
"There's still a lot of fish skin. How about frying it all?"
Lao Lu stood in the yard and licked his lips greedily, which touched the blisters in his mouth. He immediately grimaced in pain.
"You can't eat it. It will make you get angry."
A Yue held Snowball in her arms and spoke seriously.
"What the hell is wrong with me? I'm angry because I didn't eat enough."
Lao Lu was furious. He worked so hard to light the fire that he was sweating, but in the end he only got to eat a piece of fried fish skin.
In the end, I even burned my mouth. It makes me feel so frustrated just thinking about it.
"Really! The kitten can't poop because of the internal heat..."
A Yue said this with great confidence, holding Snowball and recounting the whole process from the time Snowball ate the fried dried fish to the time when he couldn't poop.
He almost made Lao Lu feel overwhelmed.
"Okay, okay, I can't tell you anything."
Lao Lu sneered and lay down on the floor outside the bamboo mat like a scoundrel, next to Wu Yuan.
"Why are you acting like a child? Hurry up and get up."
Uncle's grandmother looked at her unhappily, as Lao Lu treated his grandmother as his sister.
When he heard her talking, he became obedient.
Xu Yiyi watched with a smile as she prepared the ingredients for the braised duck.
She raised her hand and grabbed a handful of star anise, a few peppercorns, a few pieces of cinnamon, and a few bay leaves, and threw them into the hot oil pan. The spices instantly "jubilated" when they met the hot oil, "crackling" and exploding, and the spicy aroma filled the air.
"Ouch! It smells so good!"
Uncle and grandma would tease Wu Yuan from time to time, and the aroma of the aniseed would be stimulated and wiped on the child's saliva.
I can't help but sigh.
"That's right. Although Yiyi is always mean to me, his cooking is really delicious."
Lao Lu mumbled something, but Uncle Tainan was too old to hear clearly.
"Look at how greedy this child is. Once he can eat, he will definitely not want to drink milk."
Lao Lu sighed.
"That's only after he can eat. Don't even think about feeding him secretly."
Xu Yiyi turned around and said something, then smashed the ginger and put it into the wok, followed by the minced garlic cloves. They sizzled at the bottom of the wok, creating a rich and mellow base.
Lao Lu has no idea how to raise a child.
Seeing that Sihaiwuyuan liked them, he just spoiled them.
On one occasion, if Sanchuan hadn’t stopped him.
The damn old man almost stuffed the spicy fried clam meat directly into Wu Yuan's mouth.
"That time, do you still remember it?"
Lao Lu looked at Xu Yiyi guiltily and said something loudly.
"Once isn't enough?"
His great uncle glanced at him, while his great uncle's aunt was gentle and spoke to him in detail.
"Wu Yuan is still young. He can't stand salty food and will get sick."
After being stroked by his uncle and aunt, Lao Lu nodded proudly to show that he understood.
Xu Yiyi curled her lips, scooped a spoonful of bean paste into the pot, and the iron spatula flew, red oil oozing out, the spiciness and spices intertwined, bringing out a tempting taste.
The hands keep moving and the attention is always there.
I didn’t expect that Lao Lu, at his age, still likes to be coaxed.
Like a child.
……
"Is this how you make braised duck?"
Lao Lu, who couldn't sit still, strolled up to Xu Yiyi out of curiosity.
Looking at the fragrant sauce in the pot and taking a good sniff, I immediately felt satisfied.
Xu Yiyi scooped a spoonful of the sauce bought at the dock, and the salty aroma and color of the sauce blended into it. He added rice wine bought from the wine shop to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.
The sugar jar is opened slightly, and a few spoonfuls of white sugar jump into the pot, and the sweetness finds a balance between the hot, spicy and salty flavors.
Sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt and pour in clean water. The soup at the bottom of the pot instantly has lively "vitality". Boil it over high heat, and the marinade is formed, bubbling and rolling.
"You're using such expensive wine to make a duck?"
Lao Lu originally thought it was beautiful because Xu Yiyi’s cooking was not only delicious but also beautiful.
But when he saw that she poured the wine he bought for one or two taels of silver into a duck, his happiness suddenly disappeared.
"It's okay as long as it tastes good."
Xu Yiyi retorted and immediately swallowed back Lao Lu's words.
"Get out of the way, I'll light the fire."
Lao Lu used his foot to hook the small stool where Xu Anyang was sitting.
While making a fire, he kept an eye on Xu Yiyi's movements.
He wanted to see how delicious it was.
Xu Yiyi ignored his behavior and carefully put the duck into the braising pot. The soup instantly covered the duck and then she covered the pot.
Let the marinade gently wrap the duck and simmer slowly.
"Keep the fire low. If the water dries up, you won't be able to eat tonight."
Lao Lu snorted, "Look down on me."
As he said this, he took out a piece of firewood from the stove.
Outside the kitchen, there was a haze of heat and fragrance. Xu Yiyi was busy with other dishes. From time to time, she would lift the lid of the pot, scoop up the marinade with a spoon, and pour it over the duck to ensure that every inch of the duck meat was soaked in flavor.
When the time is up, turn off the heat and let it simmer.
While Xu Yiyi was cooking other dishes, Lao Lu quietly lifted the lid to take a look.
The braised duck is shiny brown, oily and glossy.
It looks like a rare delicacy.
Just as he was about to reach out, he was hit on the head by the frame.
When he looked up, he saw Xu Yiyi staring at him closely.
"Grandpa Lao Lu, you can't steal food."
Sanchuan came back from school and stood aside to wash his hands, and saw Lao Lu being beaten again.
Persuading gently.
Every time he sees Sanchuan, Lao Lu can't help but sigh that scholars are different.
He looks gentle and is soft-spoken and soft in everything he does.
"I just wanted to see if it was ready. I didn't mean to steal any."
Lao Lu interrupted with a laugh.
Sanchuan didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he nodded obediently.
"Sanchuan, wash your hands and help the elder sister write a sign at the door. Say that the store has a new stingray tonight and the first twenty customers who come to eat will receive a free crispy fish skin."
Xu Yiyi took this opportunity to clean up the fish skin and put it aside.
Just waiting for guests to come.
……
The sign at the door was written and two tables were set up in the backyard.
The braised duck is cut into pieces and served on a plate. The skin is glutinous and the meat is tender, and every bite is filled with the aroma of the braised duck.
The refreshing and delicious sour radish and old duck soup, and the crispy fish skin that Lao Lu has always longed for.
Stir-fried clams with sour bamboo shoots, green onion squid, stir-fried spicy razor clams, and spicy squid.
Sanchuan’s favorite dishes include garlic vermicelli oysters, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, and the indispensable steamed shrimp and crabs.
Steamed sea urchin egg and large pork elbow stewed in sweet wine.
Stingray stewed with tofu, sweet and sour stingray cubes.
……
The table was filled with food, and Sihai ate a bowl of longevity noodles under everyone's gaze.
The child didn't know why, but he started crying while eating.
She lay in her elder sister's arms shyly.
This caused Arong to take out the little tiger doll that he was going to give to Sihai in advance.
This is how he was coaxed into submission.
