"They said they were short of clothes and quilts, and it wasn't warm there. Your fifth aunt told your fifth uncle. The couple thought that the old lady had some instructions, so they had a dream?"
"So the couple planned to take the two children to the temple to burn incense and so on."
"I won't be able to make it back in time for lunch. It's almost time for dinner." Mrs. Sun said.
"Oh..." Yang Ruoqing nodded and asked no more questions.
With the cooperation of the three mothers, a sumptuous meal is almost ready.
Luo Fengtang came to the kitchen, received Yang Ruoqing's instructions, and quickly went to the main room to clear the table and set up stools.
When the hot dishes were delivered to the main room in batches, Yang Ruoqing also took off the steaming rack.
The fish maw is cooked through and the egg liquid is forming inside.
Yang Ruoqing used a kitchen knife to cut the fish maw into thin circles like ham sausage.
In the middle is a golden solidified egg yolk, surrounded by a ring of white egg white.
The little bit of green in the egg white is chopped green onion.
Outside, what looks like a circle of latex, is the swim bladder.
Yang Ruoqing picked up the fragrant sesame oil and poured it on the circles of fish maw and eggs on the plate. Luo Fengtang came in.
"What kind of food? Why does it taste so good?" He sniffed and asked.
Yang Ruoqing laughed, took a piece of fish maw and stuffed eggs and brought it to his mouth: "Here, try a piece."
Luo Fengtang was a little embarrassed and took a step back.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "My mother and sister are not here, it's just the two of us, hurry up!"
Luo Fengtang then opened his mouth to take it, put it in his mouth and ate it with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" she asked with a smile.
Luo Fengtang nodded vigorously.
"It's so delicious. This egg...is different from the eggs I usually eat!" he said.
"What's the difference?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Luo Fengtang said: "It's just like eating pig's trotters, but it's not quite like..."
Yang Ruoqing burst into laughter: "It's the swim bladder!"
"Swim bladder?"
"Well, this stuff can be used as medicine. It's good for your health and can replenish your blood!" Yang Ruoqing said.
"Oh!" Luo Fengtang suddenly realized.
Yang Ruoqing put the fish maw stuffed with eggs and honey glutinous rice with dates on the tray, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, hurry up and send the vegetables to the front yard. I will fry another green cabbage core and go to the front yard."
In this meal, Yang Ruoqing originally thought that beef and radish would win the first prize.
Unexpectedly, fish maw stuffed with eggs and honey glutinous rice with dates became the joint champions.
By the time she came to the main room carrying the fried vegetable cores, there were already two empty plates on the table.
At first glance, it turns out they are the two dishes I made!
"Wow, this is my first innovation. I was worried that people wouldn't like it, but now I'm relieved!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile and put the green cabbage hearts on the table.
Yang Huamei smiled and said: "Qing'er, how did you make those honey glutinous rice and jujubes? You must tell my mother-in-law in detail later. Let's do the same when we get back. The two twins are so cute!"
Hearing Yang Huamei's words, Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded: "No problem, the method is so simple. I'm sure you will do it after hearing it."
But Yang Huamei shook her head repeatedly: "You also said don't tell me. I'm not good at cooking. You can just tell my mother-in-law."
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
Lao Wang’s family also laughed.
But Old Yang's head turned serious and said to Yang Huamei: "That's not a decent thing to say!"
"Which one is born with good cooking skills? Don't they all learn it later?"
"Ms. Shuanzi is getting older day by day. Sooner or later, you have to take over the spatula handle of Lao Wang's family, serve your parents-in-law, and take care of the children. If you say you don't know how to cook, how can you do it?" Old Yangtou said.
Yang Huamei was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue, "Oh, I'm just kidding, learn, learn, learn, I will definitely learn it later, is that okay?"
"Well, this is what a daughter-in-law should say." Old Yang said.
The old man picked up the wine cup again and stretched it out to Wang Hongquan: "In-laws, come on, let's take a walk!"
Lao Yangtou clinked glasses with Wang Hongquan, and Yang Huazhong clinked glasses with Wang Shuanzi: "Uncle, let's take a sip too."
Then, Mrs. Sun picked up a pair of serving chopsticks and served Shuan Zi Niang with vegetables.
Shuanzi Niang protected her bowl, dodged left and right, and played hide-and-seek with Mrs. Sun.
There was a lively chatter about drinks and dishes, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly good.
Yang Ruoqing sat down next to Luo Fengtang.
The fish maw stuffed with eggs and honey glutinous rice with dates were so popular, she was very happy from the bottom of her heart.
When the fish maw and eggs were served earlier, she took a bite herself.
But I didn’t even eat a bite of the honey, glutinous rice and dates. I’ve been busy for a while and I don’t even know what it tastes like...
Suddenly, a honey glutinous rice jujube was placed in her bowl.
Turning around, he happened to meet Luo Fengtang's doting eyes.
"It's reserved for you."
He lowered his voice and said it in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
She curled her lips and gave him a look of praise.
The soft, glutinous and sweet glutinous rice dates completely combine the fragrance of glutinous rice with the sweet and sour taste of red dates, and are sublimated under high temperature.
When you eat it in your mouth, it is soft and mellow, and the sweetness between your lips and teeth reaches straight to the bottom of your heart.
After lunch, Yang Huamei followed Lao Wang's family back to their old house.
Mrs. Tan called Yang Ruoqing to her side: "Help me go to the old house. I want to see how Hong'er is doing."
Yang Ruoqing looked at Old Yangtou, who took a puff of cigarette after dinner and said, "Let's go, I'm going to see what's going on."
So, Lao Yangtou walked in front, Yang Huazhong carried Tan and walked beside Lao Yangtou, and sisters Yang Ruoqing and Yang Ruolan followed behind, and the five of them went to the old house together.
Yang Huazhong's carriage was parked on the bluestone road in front of the old house.
"Yongzhi is back with medicine." Old Yang said to Tan, who was lying on Yang Huazhong's back next to him.
Mrs. Tan then told Yang Huazhong: "Put me down when you get to the door, and I will go by myself."
"good!"
When everyone entered the main room, the smell of medicine hit their faces.
Tan wrinkled her nose and slapped her nose with her hand.
"On the first day of the first lunar month, the smell of medicine is everywhere, which is unlucky. This Mrs. Chen is really a bad guy!" Mrs. Tan muttered.
Old Yangtou didn't look good either. He put his hands behind his back and went straight to the door of Yang Yongzhi's house.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened.
Yang Yongzhi came out of the room with a sullen expression on his face.
Accompanying him came Chen Jinhong's curses from the crack in the opened door.
"You are just a loser, an idiot, a coward..."
"I, Chen Jinhong, am really blind. I chose you among the four senior brothers."
"Your eldest and second brothers bully me and you don't let me make the decision. Are you still a man?"
"You're a fucking waste, you don't deserve to be a man..."
"Shut up!"
Lao Yang shouted angrily for the first time, and the cursing in the room suddenly stopped.
