Chapter 59 Cold Toad Soup and Gold and Silver Flowers (2)
There was a cool breeze in the evening. Grandma Yu opened the door and welcomed several elderly people who came with her granddaughter.
Huang Nuan's grandma passed away early, and Old Huangtou spent more than ten years alone. He was not lonely even if he said he was lonely, and he was lonely even if he was not lonely.
People in the village move around frequently, and he likes to visit, but when he is free, he always feels a bit deserted. The girl is busy studying, so he can't disturb her.
When Lao Yu was still alive, he was always moving around. Once Lao Yu left, he was afraid of gossiping. After all, it was because of Nuan Yatou that he hadn't eaten Lao Yu's food for a long time. Although Lao Yu
She is a well-known cook, but Mrs. Yu's skills are not bad either.
Only when we arrived at the Yu family did we know that the person in charge today was Yu Jian.
There is no harm without comparison. The way the old Huangtou looked at Huang Nuan changed...
The festive dinner was extremely sumptuous, with a big table full. Two kinds of oysters, duck soup slices, fried crabs with rice cakes...
The two elders of the Chen family brought home-brewed rice wine to the occasion, unscrewed the bottle cap, and the aroma of the wine spread for four miles. Old Huangtou felt a little greedy just by smelling the wine.
Huang Nuan stuck the mg line and poured him a glass, warning him: "You can only drink so much."
Old Huangtou took the cup, took a careful sip, licked his lips, and replied perfunctorily: "I know, I know." It obviously went in the left ear and out the right ear.
"Come on, come on, Jane has worked hard today and cooked a table of dishes for everyone. Let's have a drink first." Grandma Yu picked up the wine glass and stood up.
"It's not hard work, I serve the people~" Yu Jian stuck out her tongue playfully.
After a few people had a drink, they started to use their chopsticks.
The steamed sea bass is tender and delicious, with a slight numbness. A few peppercorns are added to the Yu Jian oil to increase the richness of the fish.
Fried crabs with rice cakes are salty and fresh. The crab shells are fried to a crispy texture. The crab meat has a sweet taste. Every bite is full of crab meat. It is full of satisfaction. The rice cakes are wrapped in sauce and are even more delicious than crabs.
.
Yu Jian scooped out a bowl of cold toad soup for each of the elderly people. The soup had already cooled down, but it still had a strong aroma of pumpkin and milk. Old Huangtou took a bite and shook his head so deliciously: "I thought it was sweet."
, I didn’t expect it to be salty. I chewed one clam in one bite, wow...it tastes great!”
Grandma Yu also liked this soup very much, and even asked Yu Jian how to make it. When she heard that she wanted to stir-fry shrimp oil and stew pumpkin, she sighed twice and quickly filled up another bowl.
Grandpa Chen took a piece of gold and silver sandwich and put it in his mouth. The strange crab aroma was there. The crab roe was slightly hard and the crab meat was soft. Coupled with the crispness of the roll, the taste in his mouth was enhanced several times.
Chen Xinyi stared at a dish of duck flower slice soup. After finishing the duck meat, she ate noodles, and after finishing the noodles, she drank duck soup.
Needless to say, Huang Nuan took one deep-fried oyster at a time, not forgetting to look at the oysters on the plate eagerly, and would chase away anyone who dared to move his chopsticks...
The meat dishes were delicious, and the vegetarian dishes were particularly delicious after being handled by Yu Jian. Most of the sweet potato leaves went into Grandma Chen's stomach, along with most of the chive flowers.
On the other hand, Yu Jian looked at everyone eating with a smile, only sipping a drink from time to time.
The greatest happiness of being a cook is watching others enjoy eating.
The meal lasted for almost two hours. At the end, Grandpa Chen and Old Huangtou started fighting over the last mouthful of the fried crab soup, and neither of them wanted to give in. God knows, the soup mixed with rice is even better than the broth.
Delicious.
As a result, Old Huangtou missed a move, and Grandpa Chen directly put the rice in his bowl onto the fried crab plate. As Old Huangtou was dumbfounded, he spat...
…
"Jian, come out and sit down when you're done." Grandma Yu waved her hand and asked her to come out and enjoy the moon.
The two girls, Huang Nuan and Chen Xinyi, knew that freeloading was not good, so they helped clear the table and wash the dishes. Yu Jian checked to make sure the work was done and drove them back.
During this kind of festive season, I still want to spend more time with my family.
"The moon is so round." Yu Jian stood at the door, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
"The moon on the fifteenth day will not be full until sixteenth." Grandma Yu said with a smile.
Yu Jian chuckled: "Grandma, it's going to rain tomorrow!"
The grandfather and grandson sat quietly in the yard. After a while, Yu Jian asked: "Grandma, do you want to eat moon cakes?"
Grandma Yu waved her hand. She had just eaten so much that she could not eat anymore. She sighed to Yu Jian: "It's been a long time since it was so lively."
Just as he was talking, his phone rang. Yu Jian picked it up and saw that it was her mother's video. When she connected it, Yu Yuan's child shouted lively: "Grandma, sister, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"It's Xiao Yuanzi! Have you had dinner?" Grandma Yu asked cheerfully when she saw her grandson was a little surprised.
The child replied crisply: "I've eaten! I'm setting off fireworks!" The phone moved, and on the screen the child took a small hand-held firework and danced in the yard.
Father Yu poked his head in and said secretly: "How can you set off fireworks in the capital? I bought a small one to trick him!" Then he asked, "Uncle Chen and the others have left?"
Yu Jian told him to invite the Chen and Huang families to dinner. Dad Yu agreed and gave Yu Jian a big red envelope to buy delicious food. He was not at home all year round, and the house was bustling, so the old mother only
Not so lonely.
"Dad, has the restaurant been renovated?" Yu Jian asked.
Dad Yu nodded: "Okay! Your Uncle Jianping will find someone to look at the date, and we can open the business at the end of the month. We can still catch up with the National Day holiday!"
That's great! But Yu Jian is a little regretful that she can't witness this sacred moment.
After chatting for a few more words, Grandma Yu yawned slightly on the side. Yu Jian knew that she wanted to rest, hung up the phone, and urged her to go back quickly.
"Your father asked me to go to the capital." Grandma Yu took Yu Jian's hand and placed it on her knee.
Yu Jian lowered her head and said nothing. Privately speaking, she also wanted her grandma to go to the capital, but she would not force her. When the time came, she would always find a way to get the best of both worlds.
"I agreed." Grandma Yu said again, "You must go to the capital to study. Then I will go with you and follow the example of those old ladies in the capital. We drink tea and walk with birds every day, and let that boy Jianguo be there.
Be filial to me."
"Really?" Yu Jian raised her head suddenly, unable to believe what she heard.
"Of course! Grandma, I have lived in this fishing village all my life, and I have long been tired of it..." Grandma Yu rambled on, talking about the poverty of the fishing village in the early years and the prosperity of the capital on TV...
I am not tired of this fishing village, but I just want to make the younger generation feel at ease. So I let this old man who is about to step into the soil resolutely set foot on a strange land...
Yu Jian listened to her quietly. The hand hanging by her side had long been clenched into a fist, and the palm of her hand had already been embedded with deep nail marks.
