Since she decided to come over to celebrate Fu's dad's birthday, Liu Yuqing has asked about Fu Yu's family many times.
Asking Dad and Mom about their food preferences and living habits, always thinking of making preparations in advance.
When they finally arrived at Fu Yu's house and met the two elders, the new daughter-in-law, who had never been married, came to visit her father-in-law and mother-in-law. She was excited and anxious at the same time, jokingly bragging about how she would cope, how she would behave, and all kinds of fantasies like before. In the scene, can the feeling be the same?
Liu Yuqing barely slept last night. She had been thinking about how she should behave on her father's birthday today. She had hundreds of plans in her mind.
"Fu Yu, do you think I should buy some more salmon? I can make a dipping sauce that tastes very fresh. Do uncle and aunt like to eat sashimi?"
"Fu Yu, come over and take a look. This durian is pretty good! Buy one and let your uncles and aunts try it too. Can they get used to the taste? I can also buy another can of the directly squeezed cream tomorrow morning Make durian sandwiches!”
"Fu Yu, uncle, aunt, and your aunt and uncle, what's their favorite dish? Hurry up and make an order for me, and I'll think about whether there is anything suitable to cook!"
Fu Yu was bored by Liu Yuqing and had no idea. His girlfriend also had the same intention and wanted to please his family. Now she had to show off her tricks to let the elders see that she was indeed an IKEA product. The room has the hall on the upper side and the kitchen on the lower side.
It was Father Fu's birthday, the cold wind blew in the yard, the house was bustling with people, and a deep sense of warmth and tenderness reverberated in the air.
Fu Yu and Liu Yuqing did not go on a date and have fun in the county town as Fu's father and Fu's mother thought.
The two of them went to the supermarket to do some shopping and hurried back. Even if their elders blocked it, Liu Yuqing still insisted on cooking a special dish for Dad Fu to express her feelings.
Uncle Fu Yu knew someone in the county's meat factory, and he would rush to the factory every now and then to do employee benefits, and he would drive with Fu's father and Fu's mother, and the two families would go shopping together.
This time, thinking that Fu Yu and Liu Yuqing were coming back, the old couple went on a shopping spree.
The freezer that Aunt Fu Yu had eliminated was filled with all kinds of half-price ham sausages and pork, beef and mutton offal. It was a bargain and a joy.
The pressure cooker is simmering pork elbows with sauce, and the rice cooker is cooking homemade long-grain incense given by a friend. On the natural gas stove, one stove is cooking haggis soup, and the other stove is occupied by Liu Yuqing, who is making her best cheese-baked prawns.
In order to prepare this dish, Liu Yuqing stuffed the specially prepared cooking recipe on the tachyon cage so that she could see it when she looked up.
Wearing a clean apron that Fu Ma found specially for her, she stood in front of the stove and prepared the ingredients in a decent manner.
A pile of fresh prawns, peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, and cheese bought from the supermarket were scattered here and there.
The kitchen counter was not very big to begin with, but because of her extravagance, the small bowl Fu Ma used to taste the soup was squeezed onto the cupboard.
Liu Yuqing took out the onions from the shopping bag. Without waiting for a move, Fu Ma, who was standing next to her, quickly took it: "Do you want to wash it? I'm here. I just need to wash the vegetables. It's easy."
Liu Yuqing had to go get the garlic again.
Fu Ma was washing onions in her hand. She caught sight of it and quickly stopped her: "Don't peel garlic directly. It will be irritating. You have to wash it first."
Liu Yuqing was stunned, what else is there to say?
Before he could react, the garlic in his hand was taken away.
Fu Yu was standing nearby watching the fun, when Fu's mother suddenly turned around and glared at her: "Why are you standing there stupidly? Why don't you come over and start working!"
When Fu Yu saw the battle, he thought, "Okay, let's do it!"
He quickly patted the garlic and chopped it into pieces.
Fu Ma washed the onions and handed them to him.
"Xiao Qing, do you want to cut this onion into shreds?"
Liu Yuqing was busy washing the prawns. When she heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, just cut them into pieces. Auntie, leave them alone and I'll cut them myself."
Fu Ma agreed with a smile, turned around and winked at Fu Yu: Did you hear that? Cut into pieces!
Fu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to do as he was told.
He had just finished cutting the garlic when he heard Fu's mother say: "Hey! Xiaoqing, do you want to open the back of this shrimp? Put it down quickly and scratch your hands carefully. The shell of this shrimp is very sharp. Let me do it. I can handle the big shrimps." incredible!"
After saying that, he snatched the prawn from Liu Yuqing's hand.
Fu Yu saw his mother using scissors to open her back, and quickly took over: "No, I'll do it. Mom, check if the mutton soup is ready!"
As a result, Fu Yu prepared the side dishes and handled the main ingredients.
Liu Yuqing finally only needs to put the prawns on the baking sheet and put seasonings and garnishes on the opening on the back of the prawns.
How could Liu Yuqing not know that Fu Ma really cared about her? She stood at the kitchen counter and sprinkled cheese on the shrimp's back. Her eyebrows were softer and more charming because of the joy. The sunlight refracted outside the window reflected her happy smile.
Aunt Fu Yu came to the kitchen, stretched her neck to take a look, and praised: "Xiao Qing, you are so awesome. Can I cook your Uncle Fu's specialty?"
Liu Yuqing was taken aback for a moment and nodded quickly: "Yes, I'm cooking for Uncle Fu. I heard that you like durian. I'll make another grilled durian with cheese. You can try it later to see if it tastes good to you!"
Aunt Fu Yu didn't expect that she would have a share, and she was immediately surprised and said: "Hey, you, you want to make me roasted durian, that would be great!"
Fu Ma heard it from the side and was happy to see her future daughter-in-law.
Look, what's going to happen!
Liu Yuqing put the baking sheet with the prawns in the oven, and took the opportunity to adjust the heat and gave Fu Yu a look like "I'm awesome, wait and taste my cooking later."
In front of their elders, the two of them didn't say a word, they just looked at each other crookedly.
The aunt who had pleased Fu Yu was not a serious mother-in-law, but she was also a close relative of Fu Yu. Liu Yuqing secretly enjoyed herself for a long time while cooking.
It will be even more beautiful if I let my uncle live in it for a while.
If Fu Yu takes over all his relatives and marries them in the future, will he still have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Although she usually seems to be stupid and careless, she definitely doesn't care about such a big thing!
Liu Yuqing prepared the two dishes she cooked and consciously gave up her seat.
Ever since Fu Yu learned to cook, every time he returned home, he would occupy the kitchen and cook a few of Chollima's signature dishes for his parents, so that his parents could also try something new.
Today was his father's birthday, and he showed off all his unique skills.
Gourd chicken, Wensi tofu, improved version of cumin shrimp and tiger, stuffed old man fish with soy sauce, crispy yellow cabbage...
In the past, when Fu Yu didn't learn to cook, their family's dinner table usually consisted of home-cooked dishes, including stir-fried meat with cabbage slices, scrambled eggs with persimmons, minced pork with pickled cabbage, and occasionally stewed chicken and steamed fish. Where have you ever tasted Shangshi's private restaurant quality? Private cooking!
Fu Yu rarely shows his hands at the dishes he cooks. The main reason is that the dishes are too rare and time-consuming to prepare. The recipes are rarely seen once a year.
But Fu Yu was particularly willing to cook it for his family and bought only the best ingredients.
Now that he has a lot of money, he hopes that his parents can also enjoy the blessings. He was originally filial, and now he will not be stingy with the small money.
The perfectly presented gourd chicken has no bones at all. The chicken is soft and fragrant, and the taste goes straight to your head as soon as you eat it!
As soon as the Wensi Tofu plate was unveiled, everyone was shocked!
If I didn’t tell you, who would have thought that the tiny bits floating in this bowl are actually tofu!
There is also crispy yellow cabbage, which is really a unique dish of old craftsmanship. Nowadays, ordinary restaurants don’t even have this dish.
When Father Fu and Mother Fu saw it, they were suddenly very surprised.
Fu Ma remembered something and said with emotion: "The last time I ate this dish was at my wedding banquet. I remember that the village chef made a very big plate of crispy yellow vegetables. After I finished the ceremony, I finally had it. I had some free time to eat some leftovers, but this dish was all sticky. I just remember that this dish tasted very fragrant and sweet. I never thought it was so beautifully presented!"
Aunt Fu Yu said: "Look at Xiaoyu's craftsmanship. I've never seen this table of dishes before. It's amazing!"
Fu Ma nodded: "Indeed, I was always worried about him before, for fear that he would not do well outside, but now look, I don't have to worry about him anymore!"
Aunt Fu Yu said: "Xiao Qing is also a good boy. Look at these two dishes. I don't know. I thought they were cooked by the chef of some restaurant! This roasted durian is so delicious. I really don't know. Come to think of it, it turns out durian can be grilled and eaten!”
"Look at these two children, what a perfect match! Our Xiaoyu is a very talented person. He has learned a good craft, and in the future, all the work of making money to support the family will be left to him. This can be regarded as a success, right? What if Xiaoyu is a good person in the future? She is too busy at work and has no time to take care of her family, but Xiaoqing can still help cook a meal, which is a good thing for her in the kitchen!"
Fu Yu was immersed in eating. When he heard this, Kuaizi almost chewed his food. With the help of several elders talking, he sneaked over and teased Liu Yuqing: You can get into the kitchen, you are such a little boy. Son, you are my wife, wife, I won’t run away from you!
Liu Yuqing was diligently pouring drinks and picking up dishes for Fu's mother and father, thinking to herself, it's true that I can get into the kitchen, but I'm so beautiful and elegant, can't I get out of the living room? My face is so iconic, and my figure is so graceful. I was born with that slim and graceful look!
After dinner, everyone moved from the dining room to the sofa in the living room, sitting around the coffee table, eating washed fresh strawberries and cherries, watching TV shows, chatting and joking.
The TV shows a variety show. Dad and Mom usually don't watch it at all, just because it has a warm atmosphere and is suitable for playing a sound in the background.
On TV, the host and guests joked with each other and created selling points. Liu Yuqing deliberately said some interesting things outside the TV, making everyone laugh.
Liu Yuqing has a really good personality. She is not restrained in front of her elders and is very open-minded.
Whatever others ask her, she will answer very sincerely, which makes people feel that this girl is very honest and reliable.
Looking at Fu Yu's family and Meimei, Aunt Fu Yu and his wife were happy, but they couldn't help but complain about their troubled son.
Liu Yuqing changed the topic in a timely manner with a wink, and Fu's mother followed her topic without realizing it. Aunt Fu Yu soon forgot about the troubles just now and joined the chat.
Dad Fu and his uncle drank some wine. In their slightly tipsy state, no one spoke. They just sat on the sofa and looked at the others with a smile.
Fu Yu would refill tea and water for several people from time to time, and would occasionally be amused by Liu Yuqing's tricks.
When the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, suddenly there was a faint shout and a knock on the door.
"It seems like someone is calling the door!" Fu's mother noticed it first and subconsciously looked at Fu's father: "Go and have a look!"
The others fell silent instantly, and the sounds outside immediately became much clearer.
Fu Yu said in surprise: "Someone really is here, so late, who is it?"
Dad Fu stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"
Fu Yu quickly followed him out.
Dad Fu walked out of the house and shouted at the door: "Here we come! Wait a minute!"
Someone immediately answered outside the courtyard gate: "Brother Fu, it's me! Xiao Chen."
"Ah, Xiao Chen!" Father Fu recognized who it was and hurriedly crossed the yard, opened the door, and welcomed the person into the house.
When Fu Ma saw the person coming, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Xiao Chen? Why are you here so late at night?"
Chen Chunjin's eldest brother and Fu's father were high school classmates, and the two families had a good relationship.
Chen Chunjin's family lives near Fu Yu's house, and it only takes ten minutes to walk back and forth.
Chen Chunjin must have rushed over in a hurry. When everyone in the room said hello, he was breathing very heavily.
Upon hearing Fu Ma's inquiry, Chen Chunjin immediately said: "Sister-in-law, isn't Xiaoyu back? I came here specifically to ask for his help!"
"Help? What's wrong? Did something happen?" Dad Fu asked quickly after hearing this.
Chen Chunjin was also really anxious: "Isn't my wife pregnant? Her morning sickness is very severe. She usually can't eat and sleep well, and she didn't eat dinner today. Just now she suddenly told me that she was hungry and wanted to eat pizza. It's so late at night. , where can I prepare a pizza for her!"
"But this pregnancy is really different from the usual situation. She has to eat whatever she wants. Otherwise, she will feel so uncomfortable that it makes me feel bad to see her!"
Chen Chunjin is almost 40 years old this year. He got married in the spring of last year. It was his first marriage at this age.
He really loves his wife very much. Now that he has a child, he can't wait to support his wife.
His wife suffered from severe morning sickness, and the old people around her said that this baby must be a son. If she was pregnant with a daughter, she would not be so troubled.
Chen Chunjin dreamed of having a son to carry on the family line, and he couldn't help but become more and more concerned about his wife and the child in his belly.
Now his wife was late at night and suddenly wanted to eat pizza.
If it had been during the day, he would have gone to the store and bought it immediately.
But now it's past eight o'clock. Unlike big cities, the county stores close early. Usually after seven o'clock in the evening, only a few sporadic barbecue restaurants are still open.
He had money and nowhere to buy it now. When he was anxious and worried, he remembered that Fu Yu was back. After a moment's hesitation, he still shamelessly asked to come to his door.
