Chapter 261: Chef Xu, Lou Xiao'e's Long Vacation(1/3)
Xu Damao didn't bother her. He decided to cook himself at noon today.
Opening the damper of the stove and boiling water, Xu Damao's full cooking skills were revealed.
The kitchen knife was already tangled in his hand, and there was only a "dang-dang-dang" sound.
He had already chopped the chicken and threw it into a basin of cold water to soak away the blood.
While waiting for the water to boil, Xu Damao cut the ingredients first.
When the water is boiling, add the chicken pieces. Remove the blanched chicken pieces and wash them again to remove the water.
Light the fire and add oil to the wok. When the oil is hot, add the sugar and stir-fry the sugar color.
When the sugar is completely melted, changes color and bubbles form, the sugar color is ready.
Then add the chicken pieces and stir-fry. When the heat is almost done, add enough water to the pot.
Then add various seasonings such as star anise, cinnamon...etc.
First cook on high heat for a while, then reduce to low heat and simmer slowly.
This chicken stew has a more southern flavor and is more suitable for Lou Xiao'e's current state.
After the chicken was stewed, Xu Damao didn't care and picked up a cucumber.
The steamed buns are ready-made and bought directly from the system store. Just heat them up before eating.
Now I can just read a book by myself and wait for my wife to come back and have dinner.
Going to work in the afternoon? Xu Damao didn't think about it at all. The most important thing now is to spend time with his wife.
Xu Damao is reading a book at home, and the old lady can already smell the fragrance.
Women are like this, they start chatting while playing cards and whose family is making chicken stew again.
Anyway, a little thing can keep them chatting for a long time.
The group's poker game didn't end until lunch time.
In fact, few people who work in the courtyard come back for lunch.
The main point is that the factory has a free quota every month.
The oil and water are also very large, which is much better than eating at home.
Everyone's life is tense these days. If you don't eat in the factory, others will call you a prodigal.
When Lou Xiao'e walked to the middle courtyard, she saw Xu Damao's bicycle.
I smell the fragrance coming from my home, what is going on?
When she returned home, she saw her husband looking at her with a smile on his face.
The food has been placed on the table, and it looks like it is steaming hot. It must have just been cooked.
"Why are you still in a daze? Wash your hands quickly and let's eat."
Lou Xiao'e quickly went to wash her hands and only started to ask questions after she sat down at the table.
"Husband, I don't know what day it is today?"
Xu Damao: "What are you thinking about? I just want to come back and cook you a meal if I have nothing to do today."
The more Xu Damao said this, the more Lou Xiao'e felt that something was wrong with him.
He held the chopsticks in his hand and turned over the vegetables, but did not pick them up.
Xu Damao tapped her chopsticks gently with his own.
"Are you thinking nonsense, you idiot? I made you turn over the dishes twice."
Lou Xiao'e smiled sheepishly, but the smile was a bit forced.
Seeing her like this, Xu Damao had no choice but to tell her what he planned to tell her after dinner.
"Wife, you just don't believe me. Look at you like this..."
Lou Xiao'e said stiffly: "I didn't, I just thought about playing cards just now."
Xu Damao: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I planned to tell you after dinner."
"Now that you are like this, if I don't tell you, you won't even want to eat."
Lou Xiao'e was troubled and said embarrassedly: "I don't have one."
Xu Damao coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "Wife, I'll tell you now."
"When I checked your pulse this morning, I found out that you are going to be a mother."
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, "Husband, is what you said true?"
Xu Damao: "Why would I lie to you about such a happy event?"
Then Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e's expression a little excited.
He quickly said: "Don't be happy now, eating is the most important thing for you now."
"From today on, you will be alone and have two bodies. You must eat more."
"And eat better so that you and our children will be healthier."
Lou Xiao'e nodded quickly and started eating. The chicken on the table was just like her enemy.
Xu Damao didn't stop her either. He knew Lou Xiao'e's appetite too well.
The way she is eating now, she won't be able to eat anymore after a while.
Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e stopped her chopsticks with an embarrassed look on her face after a while.
"Husband, I can't eat anymore."
Xu Damao brought grapes and oranges to her and asked her to eat some later.
I speeded up my eating speed, and I was full after three times five times three times five times two times.
Then Lou Xiao'e started rushing to clear away the dishes, and Xu Damao let her go.
While his wife was washing the dishes, Xu Damao moved all the fruits and the electric fan to the bedroom.
From today on, Lou Xiaoe must form good habits in her daily life.
Going to bed early, getting up early and taking a nap are all good habits that are inevitable.
When Lou Xiao'e came back from washing the dishes, Xu Damao coaxed his wife to go to bed and take a nap.
The evening meal was still arranged by Xu Damao. Although it was very delicious, it didn't stop the rain from complaining.
"Brother Damao, why did you never cook before when your cooking tastes so good?"
Xu Damao rolled his eyes at her: "I still can't stop your mouth after eating, so hurry up and eat."
Lou Xiao'e knew his character, a person who would never cook until he starved to death.
Now he has cooked twice in a row because he is pregnant, which also shows his current mood.
After the meal, Rain stayed behind to wash the dishes, and Xu Damao accompanied his wife for a brief walk.
After he came back, he wrote down all the precautions during the early stages of pregnancy and his wife memorized them by heart.
As for the medical clinic? What is that? He doesn’t even want to go to work right now. Are medical clinics important?
Xu Damao was very well-behaved at night and just hugged his wife to sleep.
Lou Xiao'e was still a little uncomfortable with this sudden move.
Xu Damao still cooked the next morning, but Lou Xiaoe was not allowed to sleep in today.
After the meal was done, he asked her to get up and wait for his wife to finish the meal.
Xu Damao rode his bicycle to the inspection office and took the tea made by his aunt.
After looking through the records of these two days, he found that there were no problems and he skipped work again.
Today Xu Damao plans to cook fish, tomorrow he will cook duck, and the day after tomorrow he will change the pattern.
Everyone in the courtyard now knows that Director Xu’s wife is pregnant.
Liu Feng's family specially sent a chicken to replenish Lou Xiao'e's health.
Qin Huairu also specially sent a bag of fruits.
Xu Damao's recent attitude towards taking care of Lou Xiao'e made her understand her position.
In short, I am absolutely right in trying my best to fawn over Lou Xiaoe.
Later, after Liu Feng reported it to the Supervision Office, Lin Cuiqing and Mu Chunhua paid a special visit.
The three of them talked together for a long time, and finally had dinner at Xu Damao's house.
Of course, Mu Chunhua and Yu Yu made dinner by themselves.
Then Daniel and his grandma made a special trip.
I took Lou Xiao'e and talked for a long time, probably just some words of experience.
