Chapter 106 Knowledge changes destiny(1/2)
It is winter outside the house, but inside the heart of the deaf old lady is like the warm summer sun!
My life is really happy now!
It's a huge difference compared to before. Anyone who sees it will say "blessing"!
The deaf old lady was chatting with Mrs. Lou with a smile on her face.
Xu Weiguo has already prepared the lunch meal!
Everyone looked towards the table. Needless to say, the smell was amazing, the quality of the dishes was still high!
Tomato tofu soup, braised fish, celery and peanuts, saliva chicken, plus a soup - seaweed and egg drop soup!
Seeing this, both the deaf old lady and Mrs. Lou were completely shocked!
"Weiguo! What other families only eat during the Chinese New Year, but your family eats it every day. I feel like it's the Chinese New Year!"
Xu Weiguo also gave one of the salted duck eggs he had pickled to Mrs. Lou and Lou Xiaoe, and they were all cut into pieces.
The deaf old lady and Xu Xiaoya are half a person. Eating too much salt is not a good thing for the elderly and children!
Xu Weiguo smiled and said: "Aunt Lou, the most important thing in life is to eat. You must take good care of your only son. Only in this way can you be happy!"
"As for clothing, housing, and transportation, it's all as long as it's usable!"
"Since you can eat better, why do you still need to eat glutinous rice bran?"
"We didn't steal or rob, and we didn't break any national laws. There's no reason why we shouldn't eat well!"
"Aunt Lou, do you think this is true?"
After hearing Xu Weiguo's words, Mrs. Lou was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
But when I lower my head and think about it carefully, it really looks like this.
Why not eat well if you can eat well? The reason why she feels it is too luxurious and luxurious is mainly because of the scarcity of materials in this era. Even a wealthy family like the Lou family cannot achieve this. After all, there are so many people in the country.
The family is still worried about survival!
So much so that the situation in Xu Wei’s country seems a bit out of place!
But...then again, isn’t this situation in Xu Wei’s country everyone’s vision?
Xu Weiguo said to the deaf old lady: "Grandma, this tofu is called tomato tofu soup. It is simple to make. No frying or deep-frying. It takes a few minutes to cook. No soy sauce or meat is added. It is sour and appetizing. The elderly and children love it. The best
It’s suitable for you to eat!”
"You can't eat too much of this salted duck egg, just taste it!"
The deaf old lady smiled and nodded.
On the other side, Xu Xiaoya looked at Xu Weiguo with a longing look, "Xiaoya wants to eat tomato and tofu soup, right? Dad will give it to you right now!"
After saying that, he took a piece of tofu and put it in Xu Xiaoya's bowl.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Xu Xiaoya immediately turned on the foodie mode.
Seeing how delicious Xu Xiaoya’s food was, everyone started to get excited!
Mrs. Lou is very attentive. After eating two meals at Xu's house, she discovered a detail, that is, the food cooked by Xu Weiguo takes good care of the tastes of the elderly and children in the family!
The elderly and children have poor teeth and fragile intestines, so Xu Weiguo cooks a lot of soft, easy-to-digest food. Even if some dishes are chewy, Xu Weiguo will soften them appropriately.
Just like saliva chicken, it tastes extremely tender and can be eaten easily.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lou had a much higher opinion of Xu Weiguo.
Mrs. Lou picked up a little of the salted duck egg and put it into her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up.
It is mellow and delicious, with endless aftertaste. The egg yolk is crispy and waxy in the mouth, and the taste is very unique!
Mrs. Lou couldn’t help but eat several more bites in a row!
When paired with other dishes on the table, don’t forget to eat more!
Xu Weiguo saw that Mrs. Lou seemed to like salted duck eggs very much, so he smiled and said: "Auntie Lou, if you like to eat them, I will pack some back for you later. You and Uncle Lou can take them out to eat when you and Uncle Lou eat, and they can also be used as snacks at ordinary times.
A snack."
Mrs. Lou smiled and nodded, "This salted duck egg is so delicious!"
"It's not the first time I've eaten this salted duck egg, but it's the first time I've eaten something as delicious as yours."
Xu Xiaoya asked curiously: "Dad, why are these eggs so salty, but they are so delicious!"
Xu Weiguo touched Xu Xiaoya's head and explained: "Xiaoya, this egg is called salted duck egg, also called green skin, green egg, salted duck egg, pickled duck egg. It was called salted duck egg in ancient times. It is a special dish of our country."

"This salted duck egg has a long history in our country and is loved by the people and the market. Salted duck eggs are produced in many places across the country, but only the salted duck eggs in Gaoyou, Jiangsu are the most famous. Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food"
"Single·Small Menu" has a "pickled egg" item: Gaoyou is the best pickled egg."
"Salted duck eggs, with a cyan eggshell and a round and smooth appearance. Salted duck eggs are made by pickling fresh duck eggs as the main raw material. They are rich in nutrients, rich in fat, protein and various amino acids and calcium needed by the human body.
Phosphorus, iron, various trace elements, vitamins, etc. are easily absorbed by the human body, have a moderate salty taste, and are suitable for all ages."
"The eggshell is green and has a round and smooth appearance. It is also called "green egg". The salted duck egg is a kind of prepared egg with a special flavor and is easy to eat. The salted duck egg is a good left-hand dish. The color, aroma and taste are all very attractive."
"Xiaoya, do you remember?"
Xu Xiaoya nodded heavily, "Xiaoya remembers it!"
Listening to Xu Weiguo's serious introduction to salted duck eggs, Lou Xiao'e was fascinated and said with admiration: "Weiguo, you know so much. Unlike me, you know that these are salted duck eggs."
"By the way, what is Suiyuan... what is the food list you are talking about? Is that Yuan Mei famous?"
Xu Weiguo smiled and replied: "It's "Suiyuan Food List", an ancient Chinese cooking book. Yuan Mei was a famous poet, essayist, literary critic and gourmet in the Qing Dynasty. His writing style was as famous as Ji Xiaolan, a scholar at the time.
"Nan Yuan Bei Ji", his main works include "Collected Works of Xiaocang Shanfang", "Suiyuan Poetry Talk", "Suiyuan Poetry Talk Supplement", "Suiyuan Food List", "Zi Buyu", "Xu Zi Buyu", etc."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened, "Then he is really powerful, but I feel that you are even more powerful than him! He can only talk, but you can not only talk but also do!"
Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Weiguo immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know what to say.
"Xiao'e, don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Lou couldn't help scolding.
Lou Xiao'e stuck out her tongue, "I'm just telling the truth."
Xu Weiguo hurriedly said: "Xiao'e, Mr. Yuan is an ancient scholar. It is because of the wisdom of their sages and predecessors that we have our current knowledge. There is no sense of comparison at all."
Lou Xiao'e seemed to understand somewhat and nodded slowly.
Mrs. Lou said to Lou Xiao'e: "Daughter, when you have nothing to do, just read more. Knowledge is still very important. There are so many books in your father's study, but I haven't seen you read more than a few!"
Xu Weiguo nodded, "Aunt Lou is right, knowledge is power. Sister Xiao'e, you have to work hard!"
Lou Xiao'e said impatiently: "I know, I know!"
Xu Xiaoya also raised her little hands high, "Xiaoya wants to study with her godmother!"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and asked: "Xiaoya, tell your godmother, why do you want to study?"
Xu Xiaoya said: "Story books! Read a lot of story books, so that Xiaoya can tell stories to her father!"
"Dad is so awesome, he knows so many stories!"
Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised when she heard this, and immediately became interested and asked: "Xiaoya, can you tell your godmother what stories your father usually tells you at night?"
Xu Xiaoya scratched his head, then twirled his fingers and began to count: "Dad has told so many stories, such as The Lion King, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood..."
"There are also three migrations of Meng's mother, seven fairies, the fox pretends to be the tiger's power..."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and asked: "My godmother wants to hear the story of Meng's mother's three moves. Can Xiaoya tell it to my godmother?"
Xu Xiaoya nodded, and then started talking in a coquettish voice, "In ancient times, there was a child named Mencius. Their home was very close to the market. Mencius imitated the businessman. If he didn't concentrate on his studies, Mencius's mother...
..."
Lou Xiaoe felt it was very strange at first, but as she listened, she became more and more surprised!
Although Xu Xiaoya is not very articulate, she tells stories in a clear and logical manner, as if she is telling a story. You must know that Xu Xiaoya is only a child under three years old!
p>
This is clearly a child prodigy!
Mrs. Lou was also surprised, but she saw more deeply. Xu Xiaoya's performance was entirely due to Xu Weiguo's persistence in telling stories to the children. To describe it in more professional terms, this is to educate the children.
Wise! Commonly known as enlightenment!
A child's level of enlightenment can easily affect his or her life!
In the past, children at home had to be sent to tutors for enlightenment. Now that there are kindergartens, they are also sent to kindergartens, that is, pre-school education, but now most parents don't care about this.
Through Xu Weiguo's careful and patient enlightenment education of Xu Xiaoya through telling stories, Mrs. Lou can truly feel Xu Weiguo's fatherly love for Xu Xiaoya!
It is extremely rare for an ordinary family to value a girl so much!
Mrs. Lou was born in a scholarly family, so she naturally understands the importance of reading. With a father like Xu Weiguo, Xu Xiaoya will definitely have a bright future!
