Sang Xiaoyu dipped the prawns in water and removed the skin, connected the heads and tails of the prawns with toothpicks, and skewered a cooked lotus seed with the heart removed in the middle.
A cylindrical piece of cucumber is placed under each prawn as a base, and then chopped broccoli is placed around it.
Then pour the oil fed with seasonings, and a beautiful and delicious dish is born.
When she brought the dish to the table, everyone cheered together, saying that it looked good and must be delicious.
Sang Xiaoyu said that if he cooked another fish, the rest would not be his responsibility.
The mother-in-law nodded repeatedly.
Her mother-in-law had already packed the fish, and Sang Xiaoyu cut it into pieces, then added the seasonings and cooked the fish and seasonings together over low heat.
Her mother-in-law asked her to come into the house and said she could take care of the rest.
Cheng Weili encouraged her second husband, a nerdy engineer who looked honest and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving him the appearance of an intellectual.
Cheng Weili said: "The time has come for you to show off your skills. Didn't you tell me that you learned a specialty dish?"
The man adjusted his thick glasses, which represented knowledge, and said, "Okay, then I'll show off my skills."
The mother-in-law came in and listened, and was so happy that she couldn't help but say, "How about this, everyone with a foreign surname cooks a dish, we are happy, and I cook the last key dish myself.
There were all washed dishes in the kitchen, so the nerd entered the kitchen.
Ge Yunsheng was also eager to try it, and said that his sweet and sour pork ribs were absolutely top-notch.
There is a condition for the nerd to enter the kitchen, that is, no one else is allowed to go in and watch. Cheng Weili said that no one is watching, are you afraid of stealing lessons? The man laughed and said that he was a novice.
The two have been married for more than a year, and the man was unmarried before getting married. Cheng Weili felt that she had gotten a big advantage.
The man is quite honest and earns a lot. There is only one condition, which is to have another child.
Because Cheng Weili had a son, she didn't care about having children. The two of them often had disputes over this matter. Her mother-in-law persuaded her eldest daughter every day, saying that if she had a child, her marriage would be guaranteed.
Cheng Weili said it’s too much for you to have my son at your house every day. Why do I still want it?
Besides, what's the use of children? My brother still has children. How is it? Aren't they still divorced?
The mother-in-law was extremely dissatisfied and valued her son-in-law very highly.
Cheng Weili thought of a foolproof strategy and said, wouldn't it be better to let her son have sex with her current husband?
Not only did the man disagree, but his son, who had already been sensible since he was in elementary school, refused to do anything and even said that if his surname was changed, he would not go to school.
Cheng Weili knew that the talent was weak, so she kept putting off the matter.
Sang Xiaoyu took off her apron and asked him to put it on her, then she set up the wine glasses and dishes.
It’s a great New Year.
The house was very lively, the children were singing and laughing, and the smell of food was coming from the kitchen everywhere.
The nerd had been busy in the kitchen for half an hour, but he still didn't see his specialty dish. Everyone and Cheng Weili were a little anxious and rushed straight into the kitchen.
Sang Xiaoyu and Cheng Weiting followed closely behind. When they got to the kitchen, they almost burst out laughing.
In the misty kitchen, the nerd stood stupidly. When the door opened, a lot of water vapor escaped. The apron in front of him was covered with sticky sugar liquid, and there were only a few left in the pot.
Dried apples, the fire has stopped long ago, he is alone in a daze...
Several of them laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up. The mother-in-law rushed to the kitchen and pulled out the uncle, whose face was red from the heat. She scolded Cheng Weili for making fun of others, and said that no one was allowed to do it and she had to do it alone.
Ge Yunsheng was gearing up and said that his sweet and sour pork ribs were the best. Her mother-in-law was afraid and said, don't even do it. The dish will be ready in less than half an hour. You can drink it first.
The nerd didn't show his face but was embarrassed. Cheng Weili looked unhappy and kept scolding him, but she took off his apron and washed it, and asked him if he was burned?
Sang Xiaoyu gathered around her mother-in-law to help. Her mother-in-law had already prepared fish, ribs and other dishes in advance last night, and soon the dishes came out.
When Sang Xiaoyu brought them to the table, they were so colorful and beautiful.
The children were all on the table, and everyone was buzzing about it. The father-in-law suggested setting off the firecrackers first, which caused several children to run up to the balcony.
The firecrackers went off deafeningly, and his mother-in-law scolded him why he didn't go out to set them off. It was so scary. His father-in-law said that this was the fun.
Several people sat down again, and a large table was surrounded by people. Several children were chattering non-stop, making Sang Xiaoyu feel more lively than ever before.
Seeing her father-in-law and mother-in-law sitting next to each other, eating the food she and she cooked with great satisfaction, and constantly discussing something. The old couple had spent most of their lives together, but they always had something to say.
Looking at Cheng Weiting again, they have long been lonely and speechless, and they no longer even have the intention to talk to each other.
During this period, my mother also gave my father some vegetables. My mother always urged my father to eat vegetables.
While eating, my father retorted, saying that this was the Chinese New Year, and he wouldn’t let himself eat to the fullest during the Chinese New Year?
The mother-in-law laughed and said, what day is not celebrating the Chinese New Year? There is nothing special about this dish. The father-in-law said to his children like a child, your mother has been in charge of me all my life, and I have to listen to him even when I eat.
His tone was complaining and his demeanor was happy.
Sang Xiaoyu especially likes to see her father-in-law and mother-in-law together. Their relationship has no ups and downs and is not deliberately romantic, but they have spent most of their lives together like this.
Seeing her father-in-law and mother-in-law living a happy life, Sang Xiaoyu knew that happiness is actually very simple. Their life is also the life she wants, simple, pure and fulfilling.
Sang Xiaoyu was immersed in the family affection of her elders, feeling very relieved and feeling lost...
When my father-in-law retired, he had already reached the position of deputy section chief, and it was inevitable that he sometimes sounded official when speaking.
Cheng Weiting talked about her father more than once, and it was nothing to talk about the section chief, let alone you are the deputy? It was a bit official.
Her father scolded her for not knowing how to respect her elders and for being the most disobedient daughter among the children.
His mother-in-law had long been accustomed to it and did not advise him to change it. She had known it for a lifetime and could only adapt to it and could not change it.
At the dinner table, my father-in-law was in high spirits and even mentioned the new director who had just taken office.
My father-in-law was very touched and said that no matter how big an official you are, if you don't have good health, everything will go without saying. He was so young, but he was less than fifty and he died of a heart attack.
My mother-in-law said today is the Chinese New Year, so don’t say such depressing words.
My father-in-law said, what's the point? Don't believe in such feudal and superstitious things. We are pure materialists. We are now at this age, and everyone has to face this matter.
He also said to Cheng Weize, "You are a son. I don't care what happens to your mother. But if I suddenly die of an illness, don't say anything extravagant or wasteful. It doesn't make any sense. I can just find a place to bury it or throw it into the sea."
