"Xiao Xi, I asked you to come to my birthday party, why did you bring so many things to us? I'm already very sorry for wasting your time and things, but you ended up..." Li Qingqing hugged Song Xi's
I don’t know what to say about my arms.
Song Xi smiled disapprovingly, "Eating so much food in the mountains is really impressive. Bring it here and I can have a full meal! Sister Qingqing, come over and help, otherwise it will be too late to cook."
"Okay." Li Qingqing rolled up her sleeves, sat on the small bench, and began to wash the ingredients.
Song Xi went to the kitchen to make preparations. It was already noon. If the fire was not turned on, the rest of the Li family would not be able to have hot meals when they came back from get off work.
Grandpa Li came over and took charge of lighting the fire.
Song Xi started cooking. She braised the pig's trotters first. She braised the eight pig's trotters she brought over and the five pig's trotters Li Qingqing bought.
In addition, the crabs are also marinated together, so that you don’t have to cook the crabs separately. Besides, there is no food conflict between crabs and pig’s trotters. Crab stewed with pig’s trotters is also a dish!
Braised vegetables are braised on the stove, so Song Xi used a large iron pot to start cooking braised fish, braised eel, and also fried some vegetables.
After Song Xi prepared these dishes, Grandma Li came over to make spicy rabbit meat and mushroom stewed chicken.
"Grandma, the braised pork is packed." While Song Xi and Grandma Li were busy in the kitchen, Li Qingqing came in carrying several lunch boxes.
The braised pork comes in two lunch boxes, and the other two are braised lamb chops.
Seeing this, Song Xi quickly reached out and took it, "Sister Qingqing, leave it to me, I'll handle it."
"Xiao Xi, I'm really troubling you. It's my birthday today and I invited you over for dinner, but I made you work so hard to cook." Li Qingqing said a little embarrassed.
"Who said I was cooking? I was just helping Grandma Li!" Song Xi pushed Li Qingqing's forehead, "Okay, go out and help me peel and slice the water chestnuts. They will be useful later!"
Since it would take a while to peel the water chestnuts, Song Xi made the fried pork with winter bamboo shoots first. She added the braised pork that Li Qingqing had packed back to the pot, added water, then added the winter bamboo shoot slices, and cooked like this for a few minutes, creating a fragrant braised pork dish.
The meat stewed with bamboo shoots is freshly baked.
When Li Qingqing brought over the sliced water chestnuts, Song Xi used another portion of braised pork to stir-fry the meat. The water chestnuts were crispy, sweet and refreshing, which could relieve the greasiness of the braised pork.
By the time the rest of the Li family came back from get off work, a sumptuous lunch had already been prepared.
But today, not only the parents of the Li family and Li Qingqing's two brothers came back, there was also a lesbian. The lesbian was wearing the same factory uniform as Li Qingqing's eldest brother Li Yu, and it seemed that she worked in the same factory.
Everyone looked at the table of food, and their mouths couldn't help but salivation.
Braised fish, braised pig trotters, braised crab, braised eel, stir-fried water chestnuts, stewed bamboo shoots with braised pork, spicy rabbit meat, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised lamb chops with radish, garlic vines, stir-fried cabbage hearts, stir-fried garlic
Lettuce, cold fungus, cabbage in soup, shrimp and egg soup, cured pork ribs soup.
However, some vegetables are mixed into the soup so that the soup will not be too salty.
Song Xi didn't cook the loach because there was no tofu, but she had already agreed with Grandma Li to raise the loach for a few days, and make the loach stewed with tofu whenever she could buy tofu.
With sixteen dishes in total, which restaurant can have such a standard of living?
Grandpa Li said, "Xiao Xi worked hard for today's lunch. She brought most of the ingredients and cooked them. You have to thank her properly and don't take her kindness for granted."
As it should be.”
"Xiao Xi, thank you so much. Thank you for your hard work." Mother Li came to Song Xi, took her hand enthusiastically, patted her, and then introduced her, "The one next to your brother Li Yu is
His colleague is also his partner Wang Xue, who was introduced by relatives during the Chinese New Year. You can call her Sister Wang Xue from now on! Wang Xue, this is Song Xi, Qingqing’s sister.”
Song Xi looked towards Wang Xue and smiled at Wang Xue, "Sister Xue, nice to meet you."
Wang Xue was a little embarrassed, but still smiled politely, "Hello, I heard Li Yu mention you before. I have always been curious about you. I was really surprised to see you today. I didn't expect that Xiao
Xi is so good-looking, so enviable."
"Sister Xue, you don't have to envy me. As long as you maintain a good attitude and often come to my house to accompany Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, you will become more and more beautiful in the future." She would occasionally come over and add a few drops to the Li family's water tank.
Lingquan water, if Wang Xue often comes to eat and drink water, under the nourishment of Lingquan water, she will naturally become more beautiful and healthier.
"Okay, let's take over Xiao Xi's words." Wang Xue gradually became less embarrassed. Seeing that Song Xi was not difficult to get along with, she was no longer under so much pressure.
She was really afraid that she would have a conflict with Song Xi, and the entire Li family would side with Song Xi!
Although she and Li Yu work in the same factory, they have never met before!
It was also because someone introduced them to each other that they met. She knew that her time with the Li family was very short, so naturally she did not dare to challenge Song Xi's status in the eyes of the Li family.
"Everyone, please sit down and eat! Otherwise, some of the dishes will be cold and the taste and texture will be affected." Grandma Li reminded from the side. After that, everyone sat down one after another, because the food was already on the table, and there was no need to go to the kitchen to serve it.
Already.
The Li family's lunch is sweet potato rice, which can save some rice. Although their family has an urban household registration and has a supply of grain, the proportion of fine grains is very small, so it is better to eat it with it.
"I'll go to the kitchen and come out soon." Seeing that everyone was waiting to serve rice, Song Xi came to the kitchen, took out two brown sugar cakes from the supermarket, and brought them out on a plate, "Sister Qingqing, today is
I didn’t have anything good to give you on your birthday, so I used brown sugar, flour and red dates to make two brown sugar cakes and gave them to you as birthday cakes. Sister Qingqing, happy birthday. I hope you are happy, healthy and beautiful.
, I wish you a better tomorrow."
The size of the brown sugar cake is not large and can be placed on the vegetable plate. Song Xi put it on the vegetable plate and carried it one by one to the busy dining table.
Li Qingqing was so happy that she almost shed tears. The impact this had on her was really too great.
"Sister Qingqing, don't cry. Today is your birthday. You should be happy and beautiful. Try it and see if the cake is delicious. I made it by myself!" Song Xi hurriedly put the two pieces together.
The panfa cake is placed on the dining table.
Although there are quick-frozen brown sugar cakes in the freezers of supermarkets that can be eaten as long as they are heated, it is someone’s birthday, so it would be a bit opportunistic and not sincere to just buy them from the supermarket.
In addition, the method of making steamed cakes is quite simple, so she made two of them by herself.
