Being in this peaceful and leisurely atmosphere, tasting the delicious farm food, Xiaotong felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
When she was a child, her family was not well off, so she spent some time in the countryside with her grandparents. Later, her father found a regular job in the city, and then he took her and her mother out. Soon, her grandparents passed away one after another, and there were basically no people in the countryside.
She was no longer a relative, so she rarely went back to the countryside.
At this moment, the familiar feeling from childhood came back.
She was distracted for a moment.
"What are you thinking about?"
The man's deep and pleasant voice sounded softly, interrupting her thoughts.
After coming back to her senses, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little homesick."
I don’t know what’s going on with my mother back home. There’s been so much going on lately that I don’t dare to call her to ask how she’s doing. Those reporters are so powerful and pervasive that I don’t know if the aftermath of this incident has affected her. She’s really afraid that someone will find her.
Go to her hometown.
Huangfu Lin smiled and saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, no one would dare."
He had expected that someone would be interested in Ning's mother, so he arranged for someone to block all news in advance. Now Ning's mother should be relaxing in her hometown, raising flowers and walking the dog, and her life is quite comfortable.
At this time, an old lady in her sixties came over with a bowl of steaming soup and greeted with a smile: "Don't just talk, hurry up and eat!"
Although the old lady is dressed simply, she packs it neatly. She is wearing a starched blue floral dress and her hair is neatly combed back into a bun. She looks clean and fresh, and she has the image of a grandma in an old Shanghai alley.
.
Huangfu Lin took the soup, put it on the table, and said to grandma with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. These dishes are enough for us to eat. Stop working and go and have a rest early. We can clean up after ourselves."
It was getting late, and the old lady was used to going to bed early. Today, it was because of their arrival that she was busy working so late. Without anyone's help, one person prepared such a large table of dishes.
Stewed louver with ham-style chicken, stewed duck with ham and wontons, and stewed tofu with three delicacies. These stews are all Grandma Zhou’s specialties. Light and rich may sound contradictory, but they are combined so perfectly. One bite
Eat it, and your lips and teeth will be fragrant.
The old lady rubbed her hands with her apron, her face turned into a bright chrysanthemum with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, my old lady is idle anyway, if you can take some time out of your busy schedule to see my old lady, it's not too late for me to be happy.
It’s not hard work to order such a small dish, as long as you are happy eating it.”
"Grandma, why don't you sit down and eat with us?" Xiaotong greeted enthusiastically.
"No, no," Grandma Zhou waved her hands, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up first."
Huangfu Lin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Grandma Zhou smiled and walked away.
"Here." Huangfu Lin scooped up a gluten meatball with a spoon and put it into Xiaotong's bowl. "Try this. These are Grandma Zhou's specialty dishes. Many people can't even try them. Today you have it."
It’s a blessing.”
Xiao Tong took a bite and said, "Well, it's really delicious." Looking at the round, golden dumplings, she exclaimed: "How was this made?"
This gluten is slightly larger than a ping pong ball. I'm afraid that chopsticks will damage its shape. I can only scoop it up with a spoon and put it into my mouth. It's smooth and delicious. The filling is made of vegetables, pork and shrimp. This braised method
Only southern chefs can make that kind of taste that is fresh inside and tender outside. -----------Tencent has recently revised its version, and the page has been changed back and forth. It is not stable at all, so the recent updates have been slow, etc.
After this turbulent period, I will resume normal updates.
