Chapter 253 Wang Mei's thoughts
"Xiaoxue, sit down and drink."
Seeing that Wang Xue came out with the food, Wang Mei quickly said to Wang Xue, now Wang Mei completely treats Wang Xue as her daughter-in-law.
After all, Wang Xue lived at her home for the night last night. A girl in the countryside was willing to spend the night at the man's house. To a certain extent, the girl was considered by people in the countryside to be the wife of this man. If she had sex with other boys, she would be stabbed by someone.
"Thank you aunt, I won't sit down, I still have to serve the food." Wang Xue said.
"There is no hurry to serve the dishes. Just let Ergou cook a dish and just shout it." Wang Mei said.
"Yes, Xiaoxue, just sit down and eat. Just let your aunt cook the food."
Yun Changda said to Wang Xue, to be honest, Yun Changda is very satisfied with Wang Xue. Not only is Wang Xueren beautiful, she is sensible and hardworking. The most important thing is that she is not as delicate as the city man Jing Ting.
"Thank you uncle, I'll do it, I won't bother you."
Wang Xue quickly said, jokingly, who is the "daughter-in-law" who sits down and eats, and his future "mother-in-law" serves food. How can this be done?
"Wang Xue, we have never seen each other before, so we have to cook two glasses of wine together," said Yun Changhong.
"Thank you, I will toast everyone with Brother Tao in a while, now I'm going to the kitchen."
Wang Xue said politely, although Wang Xue is a little introverted, she has a very good alcohol tolerance. There is no problem with two or three amounts of white wine, but she just doesn’t drink outside normally.
Wang Xue's alcohol tolerance may be inherited. Wang Xue's father Wang Wu is a well-known alcoholic in the countryside. He has a very good alcohol tolerance. He has never been drunk after drinking three pounds of white wine at a meal. However, his alcohol tolerance limit is so no one dares to try it. He is worried that he will not be drunk by then. He will fall down first.
"Then I'm lucky that Xiaoxue is suffering."
Seeing that Wang Xue was so determined not to sit down and wanted to help Yun Tao, Wang Mei stopped forcing her. She just felt sorry for Wang Xue and could not be her legitimate daughter-in-law.
After all, Wang Xue is really a very good girl, and she is definitely the best candidate for her daughter-in-law. It’s a pity that people are not as good as God’s. She is still one step late for that girl Jingting.
"Auntie, it's nothing, this is what I should do." Wang Xue said.
"What's the name of Xiaoxue?"
Yun Changde handed over a piece of "West Lake Vinegar Fish" and put it in his mouth. He felt that the fish meat was tender and beautiful, with a crab flavor. It was fresh, tender, sweet and sour, giving people a feeling of ups and downs, and it really tasted unique.
"This is a famous dish in southern Zhejiang Province, called 'West Lake Vinegar Fish'. There is a very nice story about the origin of this dish." Wang Xue said.
"What story? Tell us quickly. The 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' that Ergou made last time also has a very nice story. I didn't expect that the famous dish of 'West Lake Vinegar Fish' in our province also has a story. I didn't know it before. This time Xiaoxue, you have to tell us well." Village Secretary Wu Quan said.
"It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, there were Song brothers..." Wang Xue told everyone the story Yun Tao had just told him.
"I didn't expect that there would be a sad story about the famous dish "West Lake Vinegar Fish" in southern Zhejiang Province. It's better for you college students. You know more than us old men." Yun Changda said with emotion.
"Brother Tao told me all this. I didn't know it before. Oh, I'm going to go to the kitchen to serve food." Wang Xue said and went to the kitchen.
"This Wang Xue is good." Yun Changde said.
"Yes. I think this Wang Xue is very good too."
Wang Mei said happily, after all, some people praise her daughter-in-law for being a good wife, and she must be very happy as a mother-in-law.
"That Wang Mei, what does this Wang Xue have to do with our Ergouwa?" Yun Changde couldn't help asking.
"Second brother, Wang Xue and Ergou are friends now." Wang Mei said.
"Oh. This Wang Xue is pretty. She is not only beautiful but also sensible. She is also a middle school teacher. She is very suitable for our Ergou." Yun Changde said.
"It seems that there are really rumors outside. What is the case that Wang Xue wants to be a 'little wife' for Ergouwa? It's really nonsense." Wu Quan said.
"this…"
Wang Mei was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to tell everyone about this.
"Why are there any problems?"
Seeing that Wang Mei was a little embarrassed, Wu Quan asked curiously, was there any secrets that could not be told to others?
"Haha, nothing, don't just eat food, you have to drink some wine anyway."
Wang Mei talked about the topic and said that Wang Mei felt that she should not talk to the village committee and other people in this matter first, and then talk about it after the engagement ceremony between her child and Jing Ting was held.
No matter how people in the house talk about Wang Xue and Yun Tao, Wang Xue is now standing by the kitchen, listening to Yun Tao telling the story of his "rock candy turtle".
"Okay, the story is over, and this 'rock candy turtle' is also fine. You can take it out." Yun Tao said to Wang Xue, who was still reminiscing about the story.
"Husband, the story of this dish is much more interesting than the story of the previous dish." Wang Xue said to Yun Tao.
"Haha, the more famous the dish is, the more interesting its story will be." Yun Tao said.
"Well, when I come back, you will tell me the story of the next dish." Wang Xue said that, and walked out of the kitchen with the "rock candy turtle".
"Yes, Ergou, the cooking speed is nothing to say. The chefs in the hotel are not as fast as him." Yun Changming said as he looked at Wang Xue as he brought the dishes out.
"The chefs in the hotel are no match for our Ergouwa. Not to mention anything else, they can't make such a delicious taste just." Yun Changhong said.
"Xiaoxue, what is this dish called?"
When Wang Xue put the dishes on the table, Wu Quan quickly asked, "Now Wu Quan is eating these famous dishes and is addicted to listening to the story of this dish."
"This dish is called 'rock sugar turtle', which is a famous dish in Ningbo City, southern Zhejiang Province." Wang Xue said.
"Is there any allusion?" Yun Changda also asked anxiously.
Wang Xue told everyone the allusion that Yun Tao told him.
According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, there was a small wine shop in Linjiang on the north bank of the Jiang River in Ningbo City. The shopkeeper was famous for roasting rock sugar turtles. The dish he cooked was fragrant, glutinous, salty and sweet, delicious and unique.
One day, two juren came from other places and were about to go to Beijing for the exam. When they passed Ningbo, they made an appointment to drink at this restaurant and enjoy the river view. When the hotel staff saw that it was a scholar, they asked, "What kind of food do you want to taste?"
Both Juren were from wealthy families and said, "All famous dishes are served on the table and tasted them."
So, the guys delivered various famous dishes one after another. When the two juren saw the rock candy turtle that was last served, with its head upturned, crystal clear and fragrant, they picked it up and tasted it. As soon as they reached their mouths, they felt it was soft and sweet, with a special taste, and they kept praising them, so they called the shopkeeper and asked, "What is this dish?"
The clever shopkeeper saw that both of them had a suit for taking the exam with him, and then he had an idea and secretly gave him a lottery ticket, and said, "My husband, this is the only one in the world!"
After hearing this, the two juren shouted, "How wonderful! How wonderful!" and left happily.
It happened that when the autumn list was announced, one of the juren really won the top scorer. He returned home in glory and was proud of the spring breeze. He specially returned to the small restaurant in Yongjiang, and asked him to eat "the top spot". He said that he had eaten this dish and had a strong body and a strong spirit. The Golden List High School was the result of this dish.
So the hotel shopkeeper carefully made a "rock candy turtle" for the zhuanyuan to taste it, and took the four treasures of the study, spread the rice paper, and asked the zhuanyuan to engrave the restaurant.
The top scholar was in high spirits, but he didn't shirk it. He picked up his pen and wrote the three big words "Zhuangyuan Building". From then on, the top scholar's house was famous in southern Zhejiang, and the famous dish "rock candy turtle" in the Zhuangyuan Building was also famous at home and abroad.
"Haha, this is the famous 'Zhuangyuan dish' in southern Zhejiang Province. I just heard people say it, but I have never eaten it. It seems that today I am really lucky to eat the famous dish that the Zhuangyuan had eaten before."
Wu Quan said happily, and after that, he picked up a piece of meat in the "rock sugar turtle" and put it in his mouth to taste it. He felt it was delicious and plump, sweet but not greasy. It was very delicious and very suitable for the tastes of Jiangnan people.
"Xiaoxue, you must be hungry. Let's sit down and eat a few bites of food first." Wang Mei said to Wang Xue.
"Thank you, auntie, I'm not hungry now. I'm going to the kitchen. The next dish should be very fast."
After Wang Xue said that, she walked to the kitchen. To be honest, Wang Xue said that she was not hungry, that was fake, but her man Yun Tao had not eaten yet, so she could eat it.
"This Wang Xue is really too gentle."
Wang Mei looked at Wang Xue and said helplessly. She didn't know if Wang Xue's weak personality would be bullied by her son's wife Jing Ting in the future. It seems that she really has to protect her in the future.
After all, Wang Xue is so wronged that she is "little wife" for her son. If she is still bullied by her authentic daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be too cold? She can't let her suffer.
"Haha, no matter what Wang Mei said, you are so blessed to have such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter-in-law."
Xu Yuan said jealously, there was no way Xu Yuan's son married a wife, and he was not very kind. He quarreled with his son and his mother-in-law every few days, and sometimes he dared to say something to him, which made Xu Yuan very helpless.
After all, he is his daughter-in-law, so he really doesn't want to say much. If his son or daughter dared to talk to him like that, according to Xu Yuan's temperament, he would have slapped him long ago.
"Haha, I think Xiaoxue is good too. It's because our Ergou is capable and makes such a good girl as Wang Xue willing to be with our Ergou at all costs." Wang Mei said happily.
...
"Brother Tao, what dish are you going to cook now?"
Wang Xue walked into the kitchen and saw Yun Tao placing pork, she asked curiously.
