Chapter 318 A table of good dishes
When Lin Rongwei got home from get off work at half past five, before he passed by the door, a smell of meat came to his face, which made him feel hungry and hungry after a day of busyness.
The summer in Wuhan is very hot, otherwise it would not have been known as the first of the four major furnaces in the country. The weather starts to burn from the end of June. By the end of July and the whole August, it is no longer a way to burn people, but when you step out of this door, the sun in the sky can directly evaporate and burn your moisture.
These three months are also the most difficult time. At this time, every household cooks a large pot of porridge in the morning and goes to the market to buy some steamed buns and pickles. They eat them from morning to night, and eat them anytime when they are hungry.
But eating this way is too much. If you have the conditions, you will buy some fried dough sticks and cooked dishes. If you get tired of porridge, you will change to cold noodles. In fact, because of the heat in summer, your energy is even more exhausted in winter. It is also because of the heat. Many people are bitter in summer and cannot eat anything. At this time, when you make broth, you will feel greasy and unable to eat it.
Moreover, it is so hot that no one will cook or simmer soup for a long time, otherwise the rice will be heatstroke before it is ready. Lin Rongwei has been eating porridge, steamed buns and pickles for the past month. Occasionally, he is so greedy that he buys some braised duck necks and braised duck intestines and other ducks. But this thing is delicious, which really makes you feel craving, and it is better to have rice and taste good.
Smelling the aroma of meat, Lin Rongwei hurried back home. Before she could enter the door, she saw An Xia in the fire room wearing an apron, holding a shovel in one hand and a wok in the other, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, while she lowered her head and focused on cooking.
Lin Rongwei's face was tight and he was a little unhappy. He turned around and knocked on the door of the room. There was no one in the living room. He walked in and saw Xu Meifeng sleeping on the bed, and couldn't help but slap Xu Meifeng on the body.
"When is it still sleeping? Don't you cook?"
Xu Meifeng deliberately pretended to be confused and uncomfortable, "Rongwei, I feel uncomfortable. In order to make some delicious food for my child, I went to buy vegetables in the afternoon under the sun. When I came back, I felt dizzy and nauseous.
You get off work, then I get up and I go to cook for the child. On the first day of the child, I bought fish and pork belly to make a good meal for the child.”
When Lin Rongwei heard that his wife was uncomfortable and had bought a lot of food, he felt a lot more comfortable. "Then you lie down. I see An Xia cooking there. When she is ready, I will call you to have a meal."
"That's not OK. Why doesn't this child call me? How can she let her cook? Why do I have the nerve to let her work? No, no, Rongwei, please help me and I'll get up and make meals."
Xu Meifeng stood up from the bed, deliberately failed to stand firm and tilted towards Lin Rongwei, pretending to be dizzy and uncomfortable.
Lin Rongwei immediately supported Xu Meifeng, "Okay, don't go, I'll call you after the meal is ready."
"Rongwei, let's eat in the living room later. I bought you beer and ice in the washbasin. The fire room is hot to cook, and it will be too hot to sit in it later."
"Okay, then you can rest and get up slowly. I'll go and see how the food is cooked."
Seeing Lin Rongwei rushing to the hot room, Xu Meifeng curled her lips. A little girl is from the countryside. She has any cooking skills and it would be great if the food could be cooked.
When I arrived at the fire room, I saw An Xia sweating profusely. As soon as I entered the room, there was a rush of heat, but it was also very fragrant. Many mixed smells rushed into my nose. Lin Rongwei sniffed.
"An Xia, your aunt felt a little uncomfortable in the afternoon, so she asked you to work as soon as you came."
An Xia quickly put the last dish out of the pot and wiped the sweat on her face, "Dad... Oh no, uncle, I'm not tired. I'll cook at home, and I'll wash my face later."
When Lin Rongwei heard An Xia calling him softly, he felt a little excited. When he saw An Xia's face blushing, standing in front of him, with a smile and closeness in his eyes, he suddenly felt that An Zhu had returned to him and his heart became soft.
"It's hot, go wash your face and have a meal."
An Xia nodded with a smile and ran to the pool to wash her face lightly. She was indeed hot. The city was much hotter than the countryside. She made so many dishes at once, especially the stewed fish and meat. The fire room had not turned off and it was so hot.
Lin Rongwei returned to the upper room and knocked on his daughter Lin Yuejiao's door, "Jiaojiao, come out for dinner."
Lin Yuejiao had already woken up, and was in a daze with the book. When she heard her father calling for dinner, she immediately opened the door.
"Go to the kitchen to help your sister bring the dishes to the coffee table."
When Lin Yuejiao heard the word "sister", she seemed to have a cat with her tail stepped on. "I don't have a sister, she is not my sister. I don't want to call her sister. You are obviously the only daughter of me, why do I suddenly have an older sister?"
"What's wrong with you, a child? Your sister cooks for you on a hot day alone. Besides, she is your sister. If you do this, I will beat you up!"
Lin Rongwei raised his slap and Lin Yuejiao cried, "Dad, you don't love me anymore if you have a sister. I'm your daughter. She has only been here for one day, so you treat her better than me. Now you have to hit me for her."
Lin Yue closed the door so cutely that she climbed onto the bed and cried loudly. Xu Meifeng heard the movement and came out of the bedroom. She saw her husband staring at her eyes and sighed: "Rongwei, the child is still young. We have been one child for so many years. We have always loved her. Now there is one more. She can't accept it all at once. Don't force her. I'll tell her slowly, "Okay, I'll go to serve the food, don't talk about the child."
Lin Rongwei took a heavy breath and looked at his daughter's door again, "Okay, come out for dinner."
Xu Meifeng patted her husband and went to the fire room. Before she could enter, she smelled a particularly strong smell of meat. When she went in, she saw that food, bowls and chopsticks had been arranged on the Eight Immortals table in the fire room.
She looked at the food on the table, and looked surprised on her face. This was a meal made by a rural girl. It was nothing different from what the master cooked in a restaurant. It was full of color, fragrance and taste.
The pork belly with thick red sauce sugar color is about the same size. Each piece of meat has shiny pig skin, crystal fat and dark red lean meat, and a pot of braised fish chunks. Just looking at the color makes people feel appetite. Then there is a plate of white and green spinach bean sprouts vermicelli, a plate of stir-fried water spinach, and a plate of fried home-cooked tofu.
"You have learned to cook?"
After asking this, Xu Meifeng immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing. How could a country girl have money to learn from a chef? Besides, she has such ability and came to Lin Rongwei for why she did it? But the dish was really good, but I just didn't know if it was delicious.
An Xia smiled and didn't answer. Actually, she had really learned cooking skills. In order to serve Xu Meifeng and her baby girl, she had been a national special chef and a first-class pastry chef. Not to mention food, she could make snacks.
"Auntie, are you having a meal now?"
