Chapter 96
Chapter 94 Meet the parents
The essence of eating hot pot lies in the noodles that absorb all kinds of meat and vegetables.
Watching Wei Caiwei fish out the last noodle in the chicken soup hot pot, Wang Daxia’s apple throat rolls up and down. He is growing up. He is a meatless and unhappy person. He eats thin rice porridge and chicken shreds, just as if he hadn’t eaten it, and his stomach was full. Yes, but the eyes and tongue are still very greedy.
Wei Caiwei caught the noodles in a bowl, but did not eat it for a long time. The chopsticks picked up the noodles again and again. After the autumn breeze dissipated the heat from the noodles and turned into cold noodles, she pushed the noodle bowl in front of Wang Daxia.
Wang Daxia was overjoyed, “For me?”
Wei Caiwei nodded, “I have eaten enough, and the noodles are for you. Remember not to eat hot food in the past two days, and rinse your mouth frequently. Also, eat crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but don’t touch crabs. Don’t touch the dipping sauce with green onion, **** and vinegar. This thing most irritates the membrane of your mouth. Protect yourself so that you don’t fester.”
Although I wanted to teach him a lesson not to swallow things in his stomach, Wei Caiwei couldn’t bear to see Wang Daxia’s gluttonous appearance, so she gave him the best hot pot noodles.
Wang Daxia nodded frequently, holding a bowl of noodles larger than his head and eating cold hot pot noodles. The noodles were full of the soup, and they were more delicious after cooling. This was the best thing he had eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After dinner, Wang Daxia stayed as usual to clean up and wash dishes with her. Wei Caiwei threw away all the mooncakes he chopped up-fearing that there would be kitchen knife fragments in the filling, there were seven mooncakes left, but she couldn’t bite, so she simply piled the seven mooncakes into a pagoda and served it. In front of the spiritual card of “The Spirit of the Dead Husband Wang Erlang”.
The four words “Flower and Full Moon” on the cake crust match the spirit plate strangely.
For some reason, Wang Daxia felt a toothache when he saw the mooncakes as hard as discus offerings in front of the spiritual position of “Wang Erlang”, as if they were for him to eat—in fact, it was. Wang Erlang is Wang Daxia.
Wei Caiwei set up “offerings” and arranged several mouse traps around to prevent mooncakes from attracting mice.
Wang Daxia said: “I think you have done nothing. The mouse can chew the wood, but it certainly can’t chew the moon cake you made.”
This is true.
Wei Caiwei put away the trap.
Wang Daxia coughed slightly, “August 15th today, do you have any plans?”
Wei Caiwei said: “Cook, eat, take a nap, and when you wake up, give Li Yiren from Lu Mansion a body-reinforcing ointment, and then cook again-forget it, don’t do it, cooking is troublesome, at night I went out to eat. I got up early this morning and worked hard all morning. As a result, I could barely eat the chicken soup hot pot, and the moon cakes were baked, which made you eat a mouthful of blood. It seems that I and the kitchen are not connected, so don’t embarrass each other. Up.”
It’s really baked, and it won’t break even when you hit the wall.
Wei Caiwei failed to challenge the cooking skills, and it took only half a day from getting started to giving up.
Wang Daxia took the opportunity to offer an invitation, “This is a big holiday, and the restaurant will be closed in advance for the holidays. It must be celebrated. You may not be able to find a place to eat at night. Why… come to us for a meal?”
Wei Caiwei couldn’t believe it, “Huh? Go to your house?”
Wang Daxia nodded, “We are neighbors, and distant relatives are not as good as neighbors. This is a reunion festival. You should spend it alone. It is better to spend it with us. You know, my stepmother has been divorced, and there are only me, my father, and Mu. The commander, and four of my brothers, the population is simple, and there are not so many rules, just sit together and eat a meal.”
Autumn is here, and the results of the Beijing investigation have also come out. It is not surprising that Wang Qianhu lost his official position because his ex-wife Wu gave the seal money and committed oversight.
But Lu Bing greeted Ma Si of the Five City Soldiers and asked Wang Qianhu’s confidant, Mu Baihu, to take over the post of Commander of the North City Soldiers. Commander Mu started as a small **** in the Beicheng Soldier Mars, step by step steadily. He took over the role of commander. He was well received by the public and was able to convince the public. With Lu Bing behind the scenes, he was promoted to the next level. The new commander. Fertilizer does not flow out of the field.
Commander Mu still lives in Wang’s Mansion and still respects Wang Qianhu.
Wei Caiwei said: “Four men in your family are celebrating the festival. I, a widow, used to join in the fun? Besides, you are not the master of the Wang’s house. Your father is the one. If he does not post an invitation, it is not good for me to go to your house for a banquet. An uninvited guest.”
You are only fourteen years old, are you so anxious to take me to see your parents?
Did I agree? Did your parents agree?
Wang Daxia has always been informal and lazy. She didn’t think about the details of etiquette. He patted her head after hearing that, “You are right. But it doesn’t matter. I will go back and ask my father for the next invitation. He will definitely agree.”
Since Wang Daxia was promoted to three ranks and became a hundred households, Wang Qianhu lost an official, and the official career of the father and son was reversed. Wang Daxia’s arrogance at home became more and more arrogant. Invitation?
The twisted melon is not sweet. Wei Caiwei still refused, “It’s good for me to spend the festival quietly alone. The restaurant outside is closed, and I can make do with the heat from the leftovers at noon.”
Wang Daxia was about to persuade again, there was a knock on the door outside.
Since the kidnapping of Zhou Xiaoqi in the middle of the night, Wei Caiwei will not open the door easily and ask: “Who?”
“Your neighbor, Wang Qianhu.”
Saying that Cao Cao had arrived, Wang Daxia hurried past and opened the door, “Father? Why are you here?”
As expected, the son is here. This is a big holiday, there is no home, but to go to the neighbor’s widow’s house.
However, Wang Qianhu has given up any unrealistic illusions about his son. He can’t control his son at all, so let him go.
Wang Qianhu said, “Of course I’m here to see Doctor Wei.”
Wang Daxia was still blocking the door, “Why does my father ask Doctor Wei?”
He was worried that his father would not be able to control him, so he came to Wei Caiwei’s troubles, threw her a few silver slips, a few acres of land, a large house, etc., and asked her to leave “my son”, “stop pestering” and “You and him will be fruitless” things like that.
Isn’t that all written in the storybook?
In front of Wei Caiwei, Wang Qianhu didn’t get angry with his son, not to mention the big holiday today.
Wei Caiwei greeted him, “Wang Qianhu comes in and sits and has a cup of tea.”
“No, I’m here to send the invitation.” Wang Qianhu took out a big red invitation. “We have been neighbors for four months, taking care of each other and being friendly and friendly. Today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, thinking of Dr. Wei to spend it alone, I prepared a few glasses of thin wine, and I hereby invite Dr. Wei to have a meal in the evening. Would you like to drive without trial?”
Wang Daxia was stunned. Today, the sun will come out from the west! Why did my father hit my heart by mistake? How did he know that I wanted to invite Caiwei for the holiday? ”
After Wang Daxia was surprised for a while, he smiled approvingly at his father. It is rare for the father to be kind and filial, and smiled: “Send invitations to this kind of thing. When I get home, I will send them. My father will make a special trip.”
Wang Qianhu paused and said, “I wrote the invitation last night. I originally planned to send it to you in the morning. But you didn’t know where to go early in the morning. I’ll wait for you at home all morning and then until noon. I’m good to keep waiting. I’m afraid that Dr. Wei will have other arrangements in the afternoon, so I came to deliver the post and invite Dr. Wei in person. Anyway, I am not an official and lighthearted, and I am idle at home. Dr. Wei, I don’t know you–”
Wei Caiwei took the post and said: “Because I have been favored, I dare not die.” Then he agreed to go to Wang’s Mansion to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight.
Wang Qianhu would not invite her to a banquet for no reason, there must be something to say to her.
Wang Qianhu said: “It’s great, Dr. Wei, do you have any restrictions? I’ll go back and order the kitchen.”
When Wei Caiwei was about to say that she had no taboos, Wang Daxia interrupted and said, “I know Dr. Wei’s taboos and preferences. I’ll talk to the kitchen.”
Wang Qianhu and Wei Caiwei glanced at Wang Daxia at the same time, their eyes collided with him, and then separated.
Wang Qianhu thought: Doctor Wei looked strange at my son! Why is it a little bit like the pampering and helplessness my deceased wife had when she watched Wang Daxia break the vase when she was a child?
The relationship between the two of them… doesn’t seem to be what the market rumored.
Wang Daxia happily followed her father home, went straight to the kitchen, and directed the chef to cook Wei Caiwei’s favorite food,”…she didn’t like to dismantle crabs, which made her nails smelly and affected her handling of medicinal materials. You steamed the crabs. , Pick out all the crab meat, crab yellow, crab paste, etc., season with pepper, scallion, **** and minced garlic, then coat with a layer of flour, return to the pot and fry once, the fried outside is crispy and tender inside, and then stuffed into the empty crab shell Inside, borrow the freshness, then use sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar to make the dipping sauce. Dip it when you eat it. Oh, that’s delicious.”
This is a dish that Ding Wu often cooked when he was here. Wei Caiwei just likes the feeling of eating crab meat with big mouthfuls, without having to fiddle with with a bunch of crab dismantling tools, and eating refreshingly.
Wang Daxia followed Wei Caiwei and ate several times. I was very impressed by Ding Wu’s craftsmanship.
The chef said: “This method is interesting. Let’s try one for the younger ones, and let the second young master taste it to see if it tastes that way.”
Although Wang Daxia is not the master of Wang’s Mansion, he has been promoted to the third level in a row, backed by Lu Bing, a great backer. The owner of the family, Wang Qianhu, is already “yesterday’s yellow flower.” In the future, the Wang family will belong to Wang Daxia, and even the servants will follow their expressions, catering to Wang Daxia one after another.
It was easy for Wang Daxia to come to the kitchen to give instructions, and the chef wanted to take care of him. He was satisfied with everything he wanted.
Wang Daxia said: “The soup will be the pigeon soup, remember to stew it to be rotten.”
“Okay, Second Young Master.”
Wang Daxia commanded: “…broiled cabbage in vinegar, red lees anchovies, yellow yam chicken, boiled chestnut porridge, cold vegetables to make a jelly melon (cucumber) mixed with Liaodong golden shrimp (golden hook shrimp rice), and then make a rose goose oil Hot noodle steamed cake.”
Ding Wu cooks all the dishes, and Ding Wu only cooks the dishes Wei Caiwei likes, so follow Ding Wu’s recipes.
“Okay, I wrote it all down, what do you want for a drink?”
Wang Daxia replied: “Doctor Wei seldom drinks alcohol. Just prepare some sherbet that is not intoxicating and can be drunk at will.”
Wang Daxia tried the dishes in the kitchen, and he tried the deep-fried crab three times. “…This taste is very similar. Just do it.”
Commander Mu told Wang Qianhu what Wang Daxia had done in the afternoon. Of course, it was the kind of reporting the good and not the worry. “After the second son was promoted to a hundred households, he became more careful and able to take care of others, and made a big fuss four months ago. The bear children in Beicheng are completely different, and the future is boundless.”
Commander Mu was happy for Wang Daxia.
Wang Qianhu was still frowning, “I am his father. He has never served me like this. It’s just a meal. He tried the food three times, even if he was going to pick up the emperor. What is the relationship with Doctor Wei? Why does he care more about her than my dad.”
The author has something to say: All the dishes in this chapter, including fried crabs, are from “Jin Ping Mei”.
In addition, the moon cakes baked by Caiwei in the last chapter had a hardness problem. She only had flour and water. There were more yeasts when the baguette was mixed with noodles. Yeast filled the interior with gas, fluffy, and became brittle. And Caiwei didn’t even send the noodles, it was a mass of dead noodles that were baked directly. The baguettes with yeast are hardened like that, and the mooncakes baked by Caiwei can only be harder than the baguettes.
In terms of hardness, the five-core mooncakes of Russian Big Leba & Wang Xiaoxia & French Stick & Plucking Wei
