Tang Qing didn't expect Li Li to suddenly appear in front of her again.
"What? Master Jiujin is educating the two old uncles? I'm not talking about you, Qingtuan, they are about the same age as your father, how can you scold them at all times? I think you should educate me more in the future.
Let’s talk to Xiaoqiang. After the beating and scolding, I’ll call you biological mother and godmother, hahaha.”
Li Li held Tang Qing's hands and talked and laughed happily.
"Hey, this..."
Tang Qing seemed a little embarrassed, and his smile was dry.
"Boss Li, we voluntarily accept the criticism and education from Master Jiujin."
"Yes, yes, we voluntarily accept Master Jiujin's criticism and education, voluntarily, voluntarily."
Carpenter Wang first came to Tang Qing's rescue, and then he heard that Gulu got up from the ground and kept echoing.
"How did you come back?"
Tang Qing asked Li Li.
"I come back and accept the education of Master Jiujin voluntarily, hehe."
Li Li responded with a smile.
"Are you messing around with the two of them? Have you had lunch?"
"My dear Master Jiu Jin, what time is it now? You should ask about the arrangements for dinner?"
"Hey, I've been so busy that I forgot that it's almost three o'clock now."
"Xiao Me, come in quickly and accept your godmother's criticism and education."
"Godmother!"
Xiaomei ran into Lao Zhang's tofu and steamed bun shop and threw herself into Tang Qing's arms.
"Oh my, my little sister has grown taller again. Boss Zhang, please make two more baskets of tofu and steamed buns. My little sister must not have eaten the tofu and steamed buns from her hometown for a long time."
Tang Qing leaned down and stroked Xiaomei's hair lovingly.
"Godmother, I won't eat tofu and steamed buns for now."
"Why?"
"Mom said, I want to accept your criticism and education."
"Hahaha……"
Happy laughter erupted in Lao Zhang’s tofu and steamed bun shop.
Tang Qing smiled the happiest thing. It had been a long time since she had laughed so freely and happily.
"Xiao Mei, it's not you who need to accept criticism and education from your godmother, it's your mother who needs to accept criticism and education from her godmother."
"Then godmother, can you please stop criticizing mother like the teacher criticized Xiaomei?"
"How does the teacher criticize Xiaomei?"
"Xiao Mei, sit tight, the teacher is going to criticize you today..."
Xiaomei showed Tang Qing how to imitate the teacher.
"Hahaha……"
There was another burst of joyful laughter at Lao Zhang Mantou Shop.
"Why is the teacher so cruel? Godmother promises you that she will criticize your mother well and not be cruel to her."
"Godmother, actually it doesn't matter if you criticize my mother for being a bit cruel."
"why?"
"Because my mother always says that the teacher criticizes me harshly for my own good. The more harshly the teacher criticizes, the better for me. So wouldn't the more harshly you criticize my mother, the better for her?"
"Really? Hahaha!"
Tang Qing couldn't help but laugh again.
Li Li, Wang Carpenter, Bao Dawen, Lao Zhang and others also laughed loudly.
"Ouch, Xiaomei is such a happy little beauty, but today we can't laugh anymore, we can't laugh anymore."
Tang Qing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, those were truly happy tears.
"Godmother, why can't you smile again today?"
Xiaomei asked as she snuggled into Tang Qing's arms.
"Xiao Me, an old lady passed away today, and we have to grieve."
"Woooooooo..."
"Xiao Mei, why are you crying?"
"Godmother, didn't you say you wanted to be sad?"
"Oh, my little mee, you will grow up to be even more powerful than your mother."
"Hey, hey, are you scolding me in disguise?"
Li Li pretended to be unhappy.
"Mom, you should be happy."
"Why should I be happy?"
"Don't you always teach me to study hard and be better than you when I grow up? My godmother said that I will definitely be better than you when I grow up. Aren't you supposed to be happy?"
"Hey, how come your little mouth looks like your godmother? I guess you will be Master Qijin when you grow up."
Li Li couldn't help but pinch her daughter's face.
"Mom, how come I am a master of Qijin when I grow up?"
"Your godmother is Master Jiu Jin."
"Then I should be at least a Shijin master?"
"Xiao Me, why do you have to be at least a Shijin master?"
Tang Qing asked Xiaomei.
"Godmother, you said that when I grow up, I will definitely be better than my mother, so I should also be better than you. If you are a nine-jin master, then I should be at least a ten-jin master?"
"Oh, so that's it? But godmother's Master Jiujin weighed exactly nine kilograms when he was born, so everyone calls me Master Jiujin."
"Oh, I understand. My mother said that I will weigh seven pounds when I grow up. I must have weighed seven pounds when I was born."
"My little baa is so smart, ha..."
It was hard not to laugh when Tang Qing and Xiaomei were together. She just opened her mouth to smile when Xiaomei covered her mouth with one hand and put her index finger on her mouth with her other hand, saying softly
:
"Shh, an old lady has passed away. You can't laugh, you have to be sad."
"ha……"
Everyone wanted to laugh again, and collectively hit the brakes, closed their mouths tightly, and suppressed their laughter. They couldn't help but laugh and looked cuter than Xiaomei.
"Oh, you little godmother, my godmother really wants to be with you all the time. That way my godmother will probably live forever!"
Tang Qing hugged Xiaomei and didn't want to let go.
"Go, go, go, you are immortal, what about me?"
Li Li came over to pull Tang Qing.
"Don't be so stingy. Xiaomei has been with you for so many years, and you have already become a fairy."
Tang Qing still hugged Xiao Me tightly and wouldn't let go.
"The authentic and authentic Yancheng Xiaolong tofu steamed buns are here, please give the beautiful little princess a try!"
Lao Zhang came in carrying two cages of tofu and steamed buns.
"Xiao Mei, go wash your hands. Wash your hands and eat tofu and steamed buns quickly."
Tang Qing took Xiaomei to the sink to wash her hands. After washing her hands, she took Xiaomei to the table and mixed the dipping sauce for her.
Tofu steamed buns are a specialty snack in Shancheng. Its production process and taste are completely different from tofu steamed buns in other places.
Yancheng Tofu Steamed Buns are said to be steamed buns, but they are actually more similar to soup dumplings. The skin is like a piece of fiber paper and is so thin and transparent that you can see the fillings inside.
“Wow, it’s so delicious!”
After Xiaomei ate one tofu steamed bun, she couldn't wait to pick up the next one.
The deliciousness of Yancheng tofu steamed buns is not only due to the thin skin, but more importantly, the filling inside. The filling is made of tender tofu produced locally in Yancheng and pork raised locally in Yancheng, and has a unique flavor.
Yancheng has beautiful mountains and clear water. The tender tofu made from the high-quality clear spring water is as white as jade. The local pigs raised by the people in the mountains have bright fat and just the right amount of fat. How can the tofu and steamed bun fillings made by combining the two together be delicious?
"Xiao Mei, it will taste better if you dip it in the seasoning."
The dipping sauce Tang Qing prepared for Xiaomei is an indispensable accompaniment to eating Yancheng tofu steamed buns.
The dipping sauce for Yancheng tofu steamed buns mainly consists of vinegar and chili sauce, but the preparation is very particular. The vinegar should be rice vinegar brewed from pure grains, and the chili sauce should be seedless and fine. The ratio of the two is about seven to three.
After mixing the rice vinegar and chili sauce, add a small drop of garlic paste and three or four chopped green onions. This dipping sauce alone is guaranteed to whet your appetite.
"Godmother, I want to eat another cage."
Xiaomei quickly finished a basket of tofu and steamed buns, and raised her chopsticks with her little hands to ask for more from Tang Qing.
"Xiao Ma, you can't eat. It's not good to eat too much at once."
Li Li came over to stop it.
"No, no, I still want to eat!"
Xiaomei pursed her lips.
"If you can't eat it, you can't eat it!"
Li Li had a straight face.
"Woooooooo..."
Xiaomei cried loudly.
"Xiaomei, listen to your godmother and come to eat with brother Xiaoqiang tonight, okay? Then you can eat as many cages as you want."
Tang Qing comforted Xiaomei.
"Okay, it's better for my godmother. I listen to my godmother. I'm going to come over with my brother Xiaoqiang tonight to eat tofu and steamed buns. We need to eat a lot of steamed buns!"
Xiaomei immediately stopped crying and cheered.
"Hmph, how about you be your godmother for just a few dozen minutes? I, my biological mother, have raised you for more than six years."
Li Li looked very angry and pretended to hit Xiao Me.
"Okay, okay, I can't compete with my own daughter."
As Tang Qing spoke, he pulled Li Li to the corner, leaned close to her ear and asked softly:
"You came back this time mainly for Li Zhen and Li Ya's affairs, right?"
