Chapter 8 - Sweet Potato Porridge
“Achuan’s, what did you cook? It tastes so good?”
When Chen Xiayue was dealing with the pumpkin tip, she heard a woman’s voice. When she looked over, she found that the other party was standing outside the wall of her house looking at her, and she should be talking to her.
“What kind of delicious food did you make at noon? How delicious is this meal at night?” The woman looked curious.
Chen Xiayue looked at the other party. She had just married the Yunhe Brigade. She was not familiar with the people in the team, but she still knew the other party. Zhang Chengchuan had introduced her to her before. She was the sister-in-law of the next door neighbor, named Hu Xiaomei.
“It’s Sister-in-law Xiaomei.” Chen Xiayue smiled and said, “I made some leftover meat from last night at noon. I didn’t do anything at night. I just made some sweet potato porridge.”
“Sweet potato? Sweet potato? Did you make sweet potato rice? It tastes so good?” Hu Xiaomei was very surprised. After sniffing her nose, she carefully confirmed the taste and found that it really tasted like sweet potato.
It’s not like they haven’t eaten sweet potatoes, why do they feel that they are not as fragrant as the ones made by Zhang Jiaxin’s daughter-in-law?
“Sister-in-law, you also know that this year is like this. Even if my parents’ family is in the city, I still need tickets to buy things. Yesterday’s banquet cost a lot of things. Of course, there is nothing today, it’s really sweet potato rice. “Chen Xiayue said with a smile.
She was right, she cooked sweet potato porridge, but nothing was added except sweet potatoes, no sugar, no salt.
“That’s right, I heard that your mother’s father from Achuan’s family is an old master of a food factory, so his cooking skills must be good. You must have learned from your father, so it makes sense that your sweet potato rice is so fragrant. “Hu Xiaomei is not an unreasonable and rambunctious person, and she really listened to Chen Xiayue’s explanation.
Moreover, Hu Xiaomei, who is a neighbor, also knows the origin of the Zhang family’s young daughter-in-law. There are three people in her family who work in the food factory, and her family’s father is also a master chef of the food factory.
I heard that some people even went to the food factory and wanted to hire him to be the chef of the state-run restaurant, but they thought the food factory was very good, and they worked in the food factory for many years.
Chen Xiayue said with a smile, “Yes, they all learned from my father. I’m not very healthy, so my father taught me some easy dishes, such as stewing soup and porridge.”
What Chen Xiayue said is right. She knows that she has the memory of the original owner. Even if the Chen family dotes on her, she does not let her really do nothing. It sounds very pampering without touching her fingers, but she will definitely treat her. People are spoiled.
No matter how much she pampers the child in this age, the Chen family will not really let her do nothing, let her wash the whole family, but she must learn to cook.
The father of the Chen family is an old master, and the ancestors of the Chen family are chefs. They are not as tall as the royal chefs, but the inheritance of craftsmanship is also very good.
Chen’s father took into account that his daughter’s health was not very good, so he couldn’t practice work such as flipping spoons and knife skills, but he could still learn things such as soup and porridge.
Of course, although I wouldn’t ask my daughter to use a heavy knife to cut vegetables at a high speed, she also needs to practice it. It doesn’t matter if she is slower, but she doesn’t know anything about knife skills.
Of course, there are not so many things for the original owner to practice in this era, so the original owner’s knife skills are not good but not bad, and the skills of cooking porridge and soup are still good.
Hu Xiaomei also nodded, she believed it.
“The sweet potato porridge is ready in a while, and I’ll give you a bowl to **** craftsmanship, sister-in-law.” Chen Xiayue said with a smile, she is not a poor and generous person, but she has a farm and is not short of food.
It’s just a bowl of sweet potato porridge, not so stingy as to not give the neighbor’s sister-in-law a taste.
“Then I can wait for your delicious food.” Hu Xiaomei said with a smile, “I won’t tell you, I have to go back to cook, and my family is about to get off work.”
“Sister-in-law is busy, and I’m busy too.” Chen Xiayue said to Hu Xiaomei, and smiled when she saw Hu Xiaomei’s back. This sister-in-law has a good personality and can get along with her.
Although Chen Xiayue was considered a house girl in her previous life, she also had to deal with a lot of people when making videos. After all, she is not the kind of blogger who farms and cooks food. She just makes food, so she has to deal with people a lot.
Also because she has dealt with people a lot, she can also see that some people are easy to get along with, and some people are not easy to get along with. Of course, she couldn’t see it more deeply, but Hu Xiaomei was easier to understand, and Chen Xiayue could see that she was easy to get along with.
After Chen Xiayue made the pumpkin tips, the sweet potato porridge was already cooked. She didn’t cook it too thin but not too thick. She put a little too much sweet potato.
Chen Xiayue put the porridge into a large pot and set it aside to cool down a little. Chen Xiayue likes slightly cooler rice, but she doesn’t like eating freshly cooked rice.
Chen Xiayue peeled the loofah and boiled the soup, then cut the leftover fat with the skin at noon into small pieces and fry the oil, fry it a little brown, and then add water to boil the pumpkin tips.
Others like to stir-fry pumpkin tips, but Chen Xiayue likes to cook soup, whether it is boiled in chicken soup or boiled in pork bone soup or pork soup, the taste is very good.
After preparing the dinner, Chen Xiayue brought the food to the table. It was still dark and before work, Chen Xiayue went to feed the chickens.
There is only one hen that lays eggs at home, and pigs are definitely not raised at home, they are all raised on the team. Chen Xiayue only needs to feed that one chicken. When the clothes drying in the yard are put away, Zhang Chengchuan and the three of them come back.
Chen Xiayue filled a bowl of sweet potato porridge and handed it to Zhang Chengchuan, “I met Mrs. Hu next door just now, and told her to give her a taste of the sweet potato porridge I made. Would you help me bring it to the next door?”
Zhang Chengchuan shook his head and said, “Sister Hu is a woman. You asked me to bring her food? It’s up to you to deal with Sister Hu by the way. You will have someone to talk to in the future.”
After listening to him, Chen Xiayue thought about it and felt that he was right, “Then I’ll take it for Sister Hu, you can eat with your parents first, don’t wait for me, just leave me a bowl of sweet potato porridge and some vegetables. .”
Zhang Chengchuan nodded and said, “Go.”
Chen Xiayue came out of the house with a bowl and found Sister Hu’s house in the direction pointed by Zhang Chengchuan. She was a little embarrassed to see the Wang family who were eating in the yard.
It’s a bit embarrassing to bump into someone’s meal.
“Sister Hu.” Although embarrassed, Chen Xiayue still called out Hu Xiaomei.
“Huh? Achuan’s?” Hu Xiaomei heard someone call her back in confusion, and smiled when she saw Chen Xiayue, “Why are you here? Have you eaten yet?”
“I’m about to eat, didn’t I just agree to give you a taste of the sweet potato rice I made? Bring you a bowl.” Chen Xiayue said.
