After choosing the dishes, Zhan Baiyi wanted to do something more to help Xu Rongrong, but Ming's wife had already come back, and there was nothing he could do to help. In addition, Xu Rongrong strictly asked him to rest in the living room outside, so he had no choice but to do so.
's out.
Sitting on the sofa, Zhan Bai watched a boring variety show on the LCD TV on the wall and lost interest.
Lowering his head, there were washed cherries and pomegranates on the transparent crystal coffee table. Zhan Bai stretched out his hand and gently pinched a cherry and put it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste instantly filled his mouth, and the refreshing cherry flesh
It dances on the tip of the tongue and then is swallowed into the stomach.
"Is it delicious?" Zhan Yi, who was sitting aside, looked at him and asked with a smile.
"It's delicious." Zhan Bai raised the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and murmured softly in reply to Zhan Yiyang while savoring the taste of the cherry meat.
"If it's delicious, eat more." Zhan Yiyang is a person who is not good at expressing himself, but his full kindness can be seen in his soft eyes.
Zhan Bai pursed his lips and nodded.
In fact, the delicious thing is not the cherries, but the warmth.
A taste of home, a hundred times more delicious than sweet and sour cherry meat. During the years when Zhan Bai thought he would never feel the taste of home, a warm Xu Rongrong entered his heart.
, took him to another home.
This home is warmer than the previous home.
Because there was only him and his mother in the previous home. Although mother and son were much better than one person, they would still feel deserted after all.
But now, he has a mother, a father, a younger brother, Ming's sister-in-law who cooks delicious meals, and even a group of Filipino maids who can smile. As soon as Zhan Bai knew about it, he was finally not lonely anymore.
Sitting quietly on the sofa, watching Mrs. Ming and Xu Rongrong busy cooking, and Zhan Yiyang who was always reading the newspaper quietly next to him, the sunlight poured in from the large floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on everyone, Zhan Bai squinted
With eyes wide open, it seemed as if he would sleep to death in this warm time.
About half an hour had passed, or actually several hours had passed, but in Zhan Baiyi's feeling, only a very short time had passed, and it was so short that he still couldn't get enough of the talent's warmth.
Xu Rongrong smiled and took off his coat. Sister-in-law Ming helped bring the dishes to the white dining table and arranged them carefully.
Looking at the drowsy Zhan Baiyi, Xu Rongrong smiled and woke him up, "Bai Yi, it's time to eat. If you are sleepy, go to bed after eating."
Xu Rongrong's gentle voice brought Bai Yi back to the real world. Looking at the pair of pure and innocent elk-like eyes that were exactly the same as Zhan Tianning's, Bai Yi couldn't help but smile tenderly. There was a hint of shyness on his delicate face, which was so beautiful.
, "I'm not sleepy, Mom."
"Let's eat if you're not sleepy." Xu Rongrong smiled slightly and pulled out a white chair and motioned for him to sit on it.
Zhan Baiyi nodded sheepishly, as if he didn't expect Xu Rongrong to actually pull out his chair for him.
Because the living room and dining room seemed to be only separated by a wall, but in fact there was still a little distance, so Zhan Baiyi came to the dining room with a slightly quick pace, then smiled shyly at Xu Rongrong, and sat on the white chair.
Zhan Yiyang, who was following Zhan Baiyi, also pulled up his chair and sat opposite Zhan Baiyi. Xu Rongrong sat next to Zhan Yiyang, and the family of three had finally settled down.
"Mom, is my brother's school far from here?" Zhan Bai looked at the empty seat next to him and spoke hesitantly.
"Actually, it's not too far. It's not that Tianning is a bit independent, so I stayed there and only went home on Friday evening." Xu Rongrong handed the chopsticks and knife and fork in his hand to Zhan Baiyi and answered him softly.
"That's it." Zhan Bai nodded as if he had some understanding. It seemed like he was going to stay there too. It made no sense for his younger brother to stay alone, but he, his older brother, went home every day.
Then I can't see my mother every day. Zhan Bai raised his head and glanced at Xu Rongrong with some reluctance.
Unexpectedly, Xu Rongrong saw through his thoughts and comforted him with a smile, "Mom has to go to work on weekdays. Even if you go home, you can only see your mother at night. What's more, the school is not too far from here. If
If you want to join, you can call Uncle Ming and ask him to pick you up."
Uncle Ming is Sao Ming's husband and the Zhan family's driver. However, because Zhan Yiyang likes to drive by himself, he spends most of his time taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden, and occasionally picks up Zhan Tianning.
"Yeah, I understand, mom." Hearing that Xu Rongrong explained to him specifically about this matter, Zhan Bai's face showed gratitude and understanding. He smiled shyly, and his big eyes turned into semi-circular crescents.
"Here, try the charcoal-grilled shrimps made by mom." Looking at Zhan Baiyi's cute smile, Xu Rongrong felt infinite love welling up in his heart, especially when he thought that this little guy could only eat white rice and green vegetables before.
, and felt even more distressed, so he directly picked up the knife and fork and gave Zhan Baiyi the largest charcoal-grilled shrimp.
Charcoal grilled shrimp means dehydrating live shrimp in water for three to five minutes to remove the vitality of the shrimp itself. Then pull off the shrimp line from the tail of the shrimp, then skewer it with bamboo skewers, apply various seasonings and put it on the
Roast it slowly over the fire until the skin is completely red, and then sprinkle with cumin and other seasonings to add flavor. It is a very delicious dish, and it is also the favorite dish of Zhan Tianning and Yiyang.
Zhan Bai looked at the charcoal-grilled shrimp in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to use a fork to separate the body and tail of the lobster, then cut open the line between the back of the tail and the white inner skin of the shrimp bit by bit, and finally picked out
Get out the shrimp meat.
Because if this movement is too big, the shrimp will be scratched everywhere, so Zhan Baiyi slowly and very slowly scratches the tail of the shrimp, and it takes several minutes to successfully peel a shrimp.
As soon as Zhan Bai looked at the white and tender shrimps, he picked up the fork in his right hand, forked the shrimps, and gently put it into his mouth.
At the entrance, there is a fragrance that can only be produced by charcoal grilling. This prawn is very delicious because the seasoning is added little by little over the fire. In addition, Xu Rongrong's skillful grilling technique makes it just cooked but not too tender.
, which makes the taste of the whole shrimp rise to at least three levels.
No wonder Zhan Yiyang and Zhan Tianning love this dish the most, it is so delicious.
Zhan Bai squinted his eyes and chewed slightly, feeling the taste of the shrimp sliding down his throat, and felt a delicious smell coming from his stomach.
So delicious!
As soon as Zhan Bai opened his eyes, he was about to praise his mother when he saw Xu Rongrong's eyes widened and looking at him expectantly, "How is it, how is it, is it delicious?"
Such Xu Rongrong is like a primary school student who is looking forward to the teacher's correction of the test paper. He is a little scared, a little expectant, and a little uneasy.
Zhan Baiyi couldn't help but smile, and randomly praised, "This dish is really delicious, mom is awesome!"
"Oh yeah, it seems that my charcoal grilled shrimp is really good. Everyone praised it after eating it." Hearing Zhan Baiyi's praise, Xu Rongrong was as happy as a child who got 100 points, almost without hugging him.
Zhan Yiyang shouted for a while.
Zhan Baiyi looked at Xu Rongrong with a smile, his eyes filled with praise, dependence, satisfaction, and happiness.
Probably embarrassed by being stared at by Zhan Bai, Xu Rongrong finally sat back on the white chair after feeling good about himself for two minutes, asked Mrs. Ming for a pair of gloves, and quickly peeled the shrimps.
Zhan Bai elegantly peeled the shrimps with a fork very slowly, but it was much faster with his hands, so in just five minutes, there was a pile of shrimp meat in front of Xu Rongrong.
Probably because he was tired of peeling them, Xu Rongrong put down his gloves, picked up the shrimps with a fork, and carefully put them on Zhan Baiyi's plate, "Come on, Bai Yi, eat the shrimps."
As soon as Zhan Bai looked at these shrimps, he was moved and helpless, "Mom, when you eat, don't just peel the shrimps for me."
"Okay, okay, I know, come and eat the red gauze pork ribs I made." Xu Rongrong nodded excitedly. He probably felt that Zhan Bai had been a vegetarian for three months and was very pitiful, so today's dishes are almost all meat.
, Rarely available material.,
Now, what Xu Rongrong is picking up with a fork is the pork ribs that she has carefully stewed for forty minutes. She selects the tenderest and best-tasting parts of the pig and stews them for forty minutes to make the meat tender and tender.
I simmered it in a purple clay pot with seasonings for more than ten minutes to completely dry up the soup, and made this very delicious braised ribs.
The ribs were delicious and easy to digest, so Xu Rongrong forked several pieces in a row and put them in Zhan Baiyi's bowl. He also forked other pieces of pork liver and other things that could supplement the body and make him taller, and gave them to Zhan Baiyi.
After a while, Zhan Baiyi's bowl was piled into a small mountain.
He couldn't help but look at the bowl full of food, and felt infinitely moved in his heart.
With a mother who loves him so much, he will be satisfied for the rest of his life.
"Mom, thank you for cooking so many delicious meals, but mom should not just give Bai Yi a piece of food, but also eat it yourself." Zhan Baiyi looked at Xu Rongrong solemnly, his words were obviously serious, but he always had a fascinating tone.
So cute.
Xu Rongrong smiled and agreed. When she saw the hills in Zhan Bai's bowl, she also knew that she was a little too excited. She would pick up whatever the child liked to eat. If she picked up something he didn't like, he would be embarrassed not to eat it.
Eat, it will be bad when the time comes.
"Bai Yi, mom was a little rude just now. If there is something you don't like to eat, just put it aside and clean it up later." After thinking about it, Xu Rongrong decided to speak up so as not to embarrass Zhan Bai Yi.
Something I don’t like to eat.
The person who answered her was Zhan Bai with a calm smile, "Mom has all the food I like. We, mother and son, really have a good understanding."
"You brat." Xu Rongrong scolded him with a smile, but his face was full of tenderness.
Although this guy is a bit glib, what he says is indeed what people like to hear.
Xu Rongrong smiled helplessly and tenderly while watching Zhan Bai eat, his eyes filled with tenderness that could squeeze out water.
