Because her uncles were going back, Xiang Jin and his family cooked dinner relatively early, and they opened the restaurant not long after the people at the construction site had finished work.
Xiang Jin was cutting beef slices in the kitchen, and Xiang Jin and her grandmother went over to ask Grandma Mo and her family to come over for dinner.
Grandma Mo and the others were not polite, and arrived quickly. Aunt Liao invited them to sit in a compartment in the main room for a while, saying that they would have one or two dishes waiting.
Grandma Mo and the others nodded, Xiang Jin and her grandmother poured water for them, and then Aunt Liao asked her to sit here and accompany them to create the dragon gate formation for a while. She said she would go to the kitchen to take a look to see if there was anything she needed.
Not helpful, he rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.
After getting along for a long time, Xiang Jin and her grandmother also knew what kind of person she was, and what she said was the truth and not adulterated, so she followed her words and sat down.
Grandma Mo waved her hand, "Go and do your work, go and do your business, and leave us alone. We are not outsiders either."
After Aunt Liao left, Grandma Mo asked, "Is that girl Xiang Jin cooking the meal tonight?"
The two old sisters were chatting, but Yan Chen and his grandfather could not get in the conversation, so they just listened to them holding teacups.
Xiang Jin's grandmother nodded and said, "Well, I told Aunt Liao that we would do it, but she refused and insisted on doing it by herself. Otherwise, we both were kicked out."
Grandma Mo asked again, "She is turning the stove, what about cooking the pot? Is Juyun cooking the pot?"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "No, she is still working with her second brother at the Huangyewan construction site for a while. Xiang Nan is cooking the pots."
Grandma Mo nodded, "Your two granddaughters are diligent, especially Xiang Jin. They are extremely capable and are good at everything."
Xiang Jin's grandmother sighed and said, "Oh, it's a shame that she was born into a family like ours, so that child suffered a lot. If she had been born into a better family, at least she wouldn't be like this now."
Grandma Mo disagreed and said, "Well, look at what you said, old sister-in-law, your family is not bad, Ju Yun is also capable, Xiang Nan is obedient, and your grandparents, uncles and aunts are also kind, I think
You have a pretty good family."
"Yes, grandma, with you, I feel that I am quite happy. What's wrong with me? So don't just sigh there. This life is lived, not sighed."
At this moment, Xiang Jin and his sister walked out of the kitchen next to each other one after another. Xiang Nan carried two things similar to thermos buckets in his hands and walked out, while Xiang Jin held something similar to a thermos bucket in his hand.
Carrying a basin of soup.
After seeing this, Yan Chen quickly got up and went to help, "I'll do it."
Yan Chen took the soup basin and carried it into the house. Xiang Jin walked towards the adults, and her grandmother asked, "Is the meal ready?"
"Well, it's almost done. There's another vegetable dish that's ready to be cooked."
Mr. Zeng said, "Girl, don't make too much, otherwise it will be bad if you can't finish it."
Xiang Jin said, "No, Grandpa Zeng, I didn't prepare many, just a few dishes."
"That's good, that's good," Grandma Mo and Mr. Zeng nodded frequently, and Xiang Jin and her grandmother looked at her and smiled.
Grandma Mo took out her handkerchief and waved to Jin. When she walked over to Jin, Grandma Mo took her hand and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, "Are you getting hot in the kitchen?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It's not bad."
After talking to them for a few words, Xiang Jin got up and went to the kitchen again.
In about ten minutes, Yang Juyun and her daughter, together with Xiang Jin and her uncle, walked into the courtyard one after another. After greeting Grandma Mo and the others, they went directly to the hospital with enamel basins and washcloths.
I went to the well in the courtyard to fetch water and wash myself.
After washing up, Yang Juyun and his sister went into the house and changed into clean clothes. Then they all sat down at the table to eat.
When the newly-made bamboo strip cover of a large restaurant was opened, everyone saw a table full of dishes that were still steaming and full of color, flavor and flavor. Grandpa Zeng smiled and said, "Girl, you said you didn't make much. Look at this."
What’s on the table?”
Xiang Jin said, "Grandpa Zeng, there are really not many. There are two dishes that are repeated."
The other adults just laughed.
After everyone settled down, Mr. Zeng said again, "Girl, what kind of strange dishes are you cooking? Can you introduce them to me?"
Yan Chen sat next to her and looked at her with a smile.
Xiang Jin said, "It's not any exotic dishes, just some ordinary dishes, all made of beef," and then introduced them to everyone.
"These two plates are braised beef, this one is fried beef slices with celery and dried beans, this one is fried shredded beef with green peppers, this one is fried minced beef with pickled beans, this one is braised beef balls, and this one is stewed with tomatoes
Beef brisket soup, these two cold and stir-fried vegetarian dishes with three shredded shreds, you don’t need me to introduce them, right?”
Everyone said that no need to do it, Father Zeng sighed, "Are you making a whole meal banquet?"
Xiang Jin said modestly, "Grandpa Zeng, you are exaggerating. How can this be an all-ox banquet? The all-ox banquet does not only include these dishes, but at least there are beef tongue, beef heart, beef tripe, and beef tendon.
I don’t have cow hooves or anything like that here.”
Everyone burst into laughter, and then Xiang Jin and her grandmother told everyone to start eating, and then everyone started using their chopsticks.
What Mr. Zeng was most excited about was the plate of braised beef. After taking it into his mouth and chewing it for a while, he said, "Well, that's the taste. Oops, I haven't eaten braised beef for many days. Since the last time I ate it,
After the stir-fried pork intestines and braised pork liver that Xiang Jin Yatou made, I kept thinking about it, and I finally ate it again today."
Xiang Jin said, "Grandpa Zeng, if you like it, just eat more."
"Well, okay, okay!"
Grandma Mo then said, "Well, this stir-fried beef with celery and dried beans is also delicious. It's not salty or spicy. The beef is especially smooth, tender and refreshing. Girl Jin, how do you make these beef slices?"
Xiang Jin swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "Oh, the beef slices are made from beef tenderloin, and then marinated with seasonings, so they are smooth and tender."
"Oh, so that's it?" Grandma Mo nodded suddenly.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother put another beef meatball into Grandma Mo's bowl, "Sister, just try this. This is delicious, soft and elastic."
Aunt Liao used a ceramic spoon to scoop another spoonful of minced beef with sour beans into her bowl and recommended to everyone, "There is also this one. Everyone should try this one, it goes very well with rice."
Grandma Mo said, "Hey, girl Jin, what should I do if all the food on your table is delicious?"
Xiang Jin said, "Then eat more."
Grandma Mo pretended to be confused and said, "Eat more, it will make you feel full."
Yang Juyun said, "It's okay. We have Jianweixiaoshi tablets at home. Just take a Jianweixiaoshi tablet when the time comes."
Mr. Zeng said again, "Girl, with your skills, you can open a restaurant on the street. I guarantee that the business will be booming."
Xiang Jin was surprised and said, "Really?"
Mr. Zeng nodded, "Well, really!"
Xiang Jin said half seriously and half jokingly, "Then we will open a shop then."
Grandma Mo glared at her wife, "What are you talking about? How old is Jin Yatou? She is still at the age of studying and has to study hard, so how tiring is it to open a restaurant? She is busy all day long and can't stop breathing.
If you don’t even have time to speak, how can you ask people to read?”
As she spoke, Grandma Mo looked at Xiang Jin again, "Girl Jin, don't listen to your grandpa Zeng. He is just joking and talking nonsense. You can't take it seriously. You still have to study hard."
Mr. Zeng echoed his wife, "Yes, yes, I was joking just now. You still have to study hard."
Xiang Jin stopped what he was doing and smiled slightly at them, "It's okay, I know it!"
........
Everyone happily ate their meal off the stage, and then Xiang Jin and her uncle were about to go back. Xiang Jin hurriedly picked up a bamboo basket from the kitchen and handed it to him.
Her uncle asked, "What is this?"
Xiang Jin said, "I brought some braised beef and braised beef with dried bamboo shoots to my cousins so that they could try my cooking. Uncle, go back and ask my aunt and them to cut the braised beef. I didn't cut it.
, it’s completely straight.
There is also the braised beef with dried bamboo shoots. I have fried the beef directly in oil before, and then stir-fried it with the dried bamboo shoots, so there is no excess moisture in it. And the jar containing the beef is fried at noon.
After scalding it with boiling water, you can take it back and let my aunt and others put it in the well so that they can eat noodles."
Her uncle was a little hesitant, so he said to Jin and her grandmother, "Just take it and come back early. There is still a mountainous road to walk later. Before it gets dark, you can walk faster."
"Oh," her uncle took the basket from Xiang Jin's hand, and then turned around and went back after saying hello to everyone again.
Watching his back go away, Xiang Jin turned to Yan Chen, who was still sitting in the courtyard with his grandparents and several adults from Xiang Jin's family, and said, "I made some for you too, leave.
Don’t forget to bring it with you when you arrive?”
"Okay," Yan Chen nodded slightly.
Grandma Mo smiled at everyone and joked, "Seeing that you still take it with you after you finish eating, you are really following the saying of 'walking around without finishing your meal'. How can this make sense?"
Although Mr. Zeng was also very moved, he still said politely, "Yes, yes, it doesn't make sense, so you don't need to bring it with you. You should keep it for yourself."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "I made a lot. The child told me when I was making it, I made a jar for your family. When the weather is hot and I don't want to cook, I just pinch the green leaves and put them into the bowl of noodles, and then
Just add a few chopsticks, bamboo shoots, dried beef cubes, mix it up and eat it, wouldn’t it be an easy meal?”
Grandma Mo was extremely moved, "Oh, why is this child so considerate and caring? You said that I don't want to cook anymore, I just eat a bowl of noodles."
Mr. Zeng said, "It's nothing, even I feel hungry."
