[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Mother Zhao's daughter is very enthusiastic, which makes Lizhi, who is used to the superficial friendship in Jia's mansion, a little uncomfortable.

"Good sister, you came just in time. I will just cook the dinner for the evening, and it's still hot." Jiao Niang smiled, "Hurry up and wash your hands, we'll be able to eat later."

Lychee was dragged away by Jiao Niang in a daze. Before leaving, she looked back at Mother Zhao as if asking for help. As a result, Mother Zhao had already entered the house to nurse her son, and she didn't notice Lizhi's eyes begging for help. .

Jiao Niang took the lychees into the kitchen, and there was a large iron pot on the stove. There was hot water in the pot. Jiao Niang mixed some hot water with well water, and then brought some saponins: " Good sister, you just make do with it first, this is the only way our family can do."

Lizhi hurriedly said no, she washed her hands with soap locusts, and then went out with Jiaoniang again.

Jiao Niang loves to laugh, and she said as she walked: "My craftsmanship is not as good as my mother's, but I can still eat it. When you taste it later, you will... ouch!"

Jiao Niang exclaimed, and suddenly quickened her pace, as if something had happened, she ran into the house in a few steps.Li Zhi froze for a moment, then followed in.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Zhi heard Jiao Niang's angry voice: "You flat-haired bastard! How dare you steal it!"

Li Zhi stretched out her head to look, and saw that the dishes that were originally placed on the table had been turned upside down, and beside the table, Jiao Niang was holding a broom to fight a... macaw?

The parrot's hair is colorful and looks gorgeous and beautiful.But at this moment, he was flying in the air and flapping his wings, desperately dodging Jiaoniang's broom, while still yelling: "Take a bite! Take a bite!"

litchi:……

"Look, sister," Jiao Niang didn't catch the parrot after beating for a long time, she threw the broom in her hand angrily, and Li Zhi began to complain, "The dinner I made so easily was all ruined by this flat-haired beast gone."

Seeing that Jiao Niang stopped chasing her, the parrot landed on the top of the cabinet on one side, while keeping its eyes on Jiao Niang, ready to run away.

Li Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and instead comforted Jiaoniang: "My good sister, this kind of thing is unexpected. Don't worry, I'll cook today, and I'll cook a new table for you. I promise it will be fast and good."

Jiao Niang showed embarrassment: "This...how can this be done, you are a guest, there is absolutely no reason for the guest to do it..."

"It's okay." Outside the house, Mother Zhao came in with a baby in her arms, "Just let Lizhi sit, and I'll also see how far Lizhi has grown."

As she said that, Mother Zhao took another look at the mess on the table: "Next time, use a gauze cover, just cover it up."

My own mother sent a message, and Jiao Niang couldn't stop her anymore, but she had to go into the kitchen with Lizhi no matter what, and it would be good to help her if she didn't cook.

Considering that his strength is still weak, Lizhi didn't refuse Jiaoniang's kindness.The two little girls returned to the kitchen, and Lizhi quickly cleaned up the ingredients in the kitchen—the things were still very rich, and Mother Zhao was working in the house, so there were not as many good things as those capable women, but there were still plenty of good things. Not a lot.Not to mention the ingredients.

Lizhi asked Jiaoniang carefully again, and then began to wash the dishes.

"What are you going to do?" Jiao Niang helped Li Zhi wash the vegetables that had just been picked for a day, feeling a little dazed.

Li Zhi smiled, mixed the several different kinds of rice he found out according to the ratio, put them into the sieve and began to wash the rice, and said at the same time: "It's just some home-cooked dishes, nothing special."

Immediately afterwards, Jiaoniang saw that the lychee had added a little white vinegar to the rice.She was very curious and wanted to ask, but she was afraid of disturbing Lizhi.

Lizhi put the rice into the pot and started to steam it, and Jiao Niang gave the work of cooking the fire to Jiao Niang, and she started to process the beef—it was a piece of beef that was rewarded by the Jia Mansion, and the cut was not very good. It will have the same texture as a hard rubber.

Lizhi frowned and stared at the piece of beef for a while, finally found a rolling pin, and began to beat the beef vigorously.For a while, the sound of ping-pong-pong in the kitchen was endless.

Jiao Niang stabilized the fire, and stood beside Li Zhi and began to observe her movements.The lychee didn't hide it, she showed Jiao Niang generously, and explained to her: "The meat of the beef is a little old, and beating can make it taste more tender."

Jiao Niang nodded, and took the rolling pin from Li Zhi: "Leave the hard work to me, and you can do other things."

Lizhi didn't refuse, and after teaching Jiaoniang how to beat the beef, she started to deal with the materials on the chopping board again.

The melted lard wiped the entire iron pan, cut off a little and put it on the bottom of the pan.Then put the eggplant and the mixed sauce into the pot, and the aroma instantly swept through the small kitchen, and at the same time, the girl on the side couldn't help smelling the aroma in the air.

Lizhi wanted to show his mother Zhao the kung fu in his hands, so he sprinkled a handful of peppers hard when he was about to start the pot.Jiao Niang smelled it so much that her saliva was about to flow out, and she forgot to beat the beef under her hand.

Li Zhi swiftly removed the eggplant from the pan, and then pressed the piece of beef. When he felt that it was almost done, he put the beef on the chopping board.

This time, the processing time for the materials has increased a lot. Lychee not only sliced ​​the beef into slices, but also washed them with water, squeezed them dry, added egg whites and so on, and marinated them for a long time before they were ready.Next came the familiar stir-frying process. Jiao Niang noticed that there were some minced beef left in the litchi, and she didn't know what to do with them.

Lizhi fried another vegetable before putting the three dishes on the stove on the side.She lifted the lid of the rice pot and took a look: "Ah, the rice is almost ready." As she spoke, she lifted the knife and sliced ​​two square pieces of tender tofu into pieces.

Jiao Niang was stunned: "Can you cut tofu?"

"Of course it is possible." Li Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, she thought of the shredded tofu she cut for Zhao's mother when she was in Jia's mansion, the tofu slices were really nothing.

Immediately afterwards, Lizhi used a large bowl to arrange the tofu along the sides, put the last bit of minced beef in the middle, and beat two eggs before placing it in the large pot of steaming rice.

"Okay," Li Zhi clapped his hands, "Take out the prepared ones first."

Jiao Niang followed Li Zhi blankly, walking in a daze.If Lizhi hadn't reminded her in time, she would have stumbled on her own heels.

Mother Zhao has been sitting in the room and did not come out, but when she saw the dishes brought by Lizhi and Jiaoniang, the expression on her face was slightly relaxed.

——This little girl really has two brushes.

"You made this all?" Zhao's mother looked at the dishes on the table, and said, "It's not unusual."

Lizhi smiled, and was not shocked by Zhao's mother's indifference at all: "They are all home-cooked dishes, and there is nothing special about them."

Mother Zhao glanced at her: "Is the meal ready?"

Jiao Niang immediately jumped up: "I'll go and see!"

Soon, Jiao Niang came back with several bowls of rice, and at the same time a big bowl, which was exactly the bowl of steamed tofu with lychees.

"It's hot, it's hot," Jiao Niang cried while putting the bowl in her hand on the table. At the same time, she didn't forget to take out a pair of chopsticks from her skirt pocket. She said with a smile, "Daddy is away from home." , there is only me and my mother in the house, don't be restrained, let's eat."

Mother Zhao put her little son who had fallen asleep into the house, and then came out again.The three sat at the table, and Mother Zhao, as an adult, moved the chopsticks first.

Just after eating a mouthful of rice, Mother Zhao was taken aback for a moment.Of course she knew about the rice at home, but she never thought that lychees could perform so well with limited materials.

If this method is replaced by the rice used by Jia's mansion, the taste will be better.

Zhao's mother thought so, she kept chopsticks, she tasted a mouthful of tofu with eggs first, the taste was refreshing and slightly salty, but it didn't make people feel that the taste was too heavy, and the taste was very smooth and tender.

Mother Zhao's eyes fell on the three dishes. The green vegetables were obviously refreshing, delicious but mediocre, and the garlic-flavored eggplant...

"How much oil did you put in?" Mother Zhao asked suddenly.

Lizhi shook his head: "I didn't put much oil in it, just rely on the sauce to sauté, the rest is lard, which is only a small piece."

The Jiao Niang on one side is already so hungry that her jaw is about to drop: "Mother, Sister Lizhi's craftsmanship is really good, but she is still young now, if she is older, I am afraid she will not be able to catch up with Mother."

Zhao's mother gave her a sideways glance, ignored her, and she stretched her chopsticks to the last dish of fried beef with scallions.

Lizhi stared at Zhao's mother closely, for fear that she would have any bad feedback.It's just that when Mother Zhao finished eating the piece of beef, she didn't show any expression.

...is this a success or a failure?

Lizhi was a little at a loss.

"...That's right." Mother Zhao put down her chopsticks and sighed deeply, "Did your father teach you this skill?"

Li Zhi didn't remember the lies she told for a long time, she smiled honestly and said nothing.

Zhao's mother took a deep look at her: "The beef is soft and rotten, it melts in the mouth, and what's rare is that it still has an aroma...Did you put orange peel?"

Lizhi nodded: "I put some."

"It's really..." Mother Zhao shook her head slowly, she hesitated, "Forget it, let's eat."

This dinner was spent amid Jiao Niang's heartlessness, Zhao's mother's silence and Li Zhi's uneasiness.
