Chapter 258 Dad's Revenge
Liu Wangxue has tasted Xu Qingsong's craftsmanship a long time ago. Compared with her own cooking, it is almost the same as her own, and both are of daily standard. She thought that was it, but what Gu Xuelan pointed out surprised her.
Liu Wangxue immediately picked up the chopsticks and picked up a shrimp.
Don't say she was surprised, it was Gu Xuelan who was watching Xu Qingsong cooking.
This dish is stir-fried shrimps, a traditional famous dish in Beijing and one of the four most popular dishes in the palace.
Xu Qingsong bought live river shrimps, which have better meat quality and taste than frozen shrimps. Peel the whole shrimp, open the back and clean the shrimp lines. After washing, use kitchen paper to absorb the excess water, then add salt, ginger juice, and rice wine to marinate for a while.
After soaking in corn starch, pour it into the shrimps, stir well and fry at low temperature until golden brown. Leave the base oil in the pot, pour in the prepared sauce and cook until thick, add a spoonful of oil, then pour in the fried shrimps and stir quickly to combine.
Gu Xuelan stood aside and watched his flowing movements, and couldn't help but ask: "Qingsong, have you learned it specially?"
Gu Xuelan thought that young people like him, I'm usually so busy at work, so being able to cook noodles is already pretty good, but I didn't expect that the posture on this stove would be quite similar.
Xu Qingsong put the shrimps on a plate and started to cook the next dish. He said with a smile: "My grandpa was a chef when he was young. I learned a little from him when I was a child, but I really didn't have any talent or interest. Later, I won’t learn anymore.”
The same goes for his uncle. Originally, the old man wanted to pass on the mantle to his son, but his son didn't have this ambition. Later, he wanted to train his grandchildren, but neither of them were interested. Fortunately, the old man had an apprentice. The eldest apprentice was talented and virtuous, so he handed over the management of the restaurant to him.
These are the only things Xu Qingsong has learned and is good at, and he made them all today.
Liu Wangxue likes to eat shrimps, so the first thing he did was grab the fried shrimps with his chopsticks. It's slightly sweet and sour when you take a bite, the starch on the outside is a little crispy, and the shrimp meat on the inside is tender and soft.
She had never eaten this dish before, and it felt quite fresh. She gave the most unpretentious evaluation: "It's delicious!"
The other two dishes were Beijing Sauce Pork. Shredded and white meat casserole. The sauce used in the Beijing Sauce Shredded Pork is from his grandfather’s restaurant. It’s the soul, and it’s delicious no matter how you make it.
Seeing her eating happily, Xu Qingsong felt very satisfied: "But I haven't done it for a long time. I wasn't good at it, and now my skills have deteriorated a lot."
"Humble! So humble! Liu Wangxue said and stretched out his chopsticks to the other two dishes.
Gu Xuelan also picked up the bowl and chopsticks, praising while eating.
Liu Nanshan was the only one who felt unhappy, and he was not stupid. It was strange that he couldn't see what was going on.
But what bothers him is not that other people are interested in his daughter - his daughter is so good, she looks like her mother, so beautiful, and she is just blind to look down on her.
What bothered him was that no one had ever told him about this. Not even his wife, who was sleeping with him, had told him what they thought of him. After being away for a few months, they were no longer a family, right? ?
The young people opposite were just chatting and didn't even notice Liu Nanshan's expression.
Gu Xuelan put a chopstick dish into Liu Nanshan's bowl and kicked him under the table with a smile on her face: "Are you too tired from flying and have no appetite?"
This As soon as the words came out, the two young men opposite him immediately looked over and expressed concern.
Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan have been married for thirty years, and they still have this tacit understanding. After receiving the signal from his wife, they immediately returned to their usual cheerful appearance, picked up the bowl and passed away, taking advantage of the situation. I chatted about cooking with Xu Qingsong. While chatting, the topic changed and Liu Nanshan said: "Today's young people are very few who can cook, especially boys. Taking this advantage into consideration, it is quite popular in the marriage and love market."
Gu Xuelan glanced at him and followed his words: "Indeed, it is a bonus."
Liu Nanshan looked at Xu Qingsong with a slightly proud expression: "You know No, when I chased your aunt, why did she, a college student, fall in love with me, a young man from society? "
This story Liu? Wangxue had heard it countless times since she was a child, and every time her father said it, he would use it to educate her: "In the future, when you find a boyfriend, you must find someone who can cook. Not only must he cook well, but he must also cook delicious food." , and I have to be willing to do it for you, you know?”
Liu Wangxue’s ears were about to get calluses. At this time, she had no interest at all and focused on eating.
Xu Qingsong listened to it for the first time, and showed just the right amount of interest, and asked cooperatively: "Why?"
Liu Nanshan said: "At first it was because my barbecue was delicious, and later it was because My cooking is delicious. If you are with me, you won’t be hungry.”
Liu Nanshan has always thought so.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Gu Xuelan never told him that she was motivated by sex. Does "not being hungry" have anything to do with whether you can cook? Gu Xuelan thought no, only if you have money you won't be hungry.
Gu Xuelan did not come from a wealthy family, but Liu Nanshan was even poorer at that time. She came out to join the society before finishing high school. Her monthly salary was only a small amount, but she spent money lavishly. She could only return to the few days before her salary was paid. I go to my brother's house every day to eat and drink.
It wasn't until I saw something in a store that I wanted to give it to Gu Xuelan, but I couldn't find a few dozen yuan after searching all over it, so I re-evaluated myself. After that, I spent all my money on Gu Xuelan.
So the education Liu Wangxue received was added with a layer of summary made by her mother based on her own experience.
After Liu Nanshan finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Xuelan lovingly. Gu Xuelan served him some food and expressed her affirmation: "That's not true!"
After getting married, as long as Liu Nanshan was at home, he would not He would make Gu Xuelan's hands wet with a drop of water. Whether it was three meals a day or chores around the house, he would take care of everything.
Liu Nanshan made a conclusion to Xu Qingsong: "So Xiao Xu, you still need to practice your craft, you know? Only men who cook delicious food can easily woo their wives."
When he said something, Xu Qingsong nodded, indicating that he must be taught.
Liu Wangxue was holding a bowl of soup. He laughed without holding back, and was then glared at by Liu Nanshan without leaving any trace.
Then Liu Nanshan pretended to be casual and asked Xu Qingsong: "Hey, Xiao Xu, do you have a girlfriend?"
Xu Qingsong shook his head: "No."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just right. While I don't have a girlfriend yet, hurry up and practice your cooking skills." Liu Nanshan comforted him and seemed to ask casually, "Oh, by the way, what kind of girl do you like? ? Xu Xu has a relative at her aunt's side. The girl at home is about the same age as you, and she is also single. If it's suitable, I can introduce you to her."
Liu Wangxue stopped laughing and looked up at her father.
