Chapter 33

At the dinner table, father Liu looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly felt a little tasteless. It's only a few days now. His stomach seems to be in Zhang Qiao's mouth.

If you put a piece of braised eel in soy sauce, you will frown at the entrance.

Old lady Liu joked, "is this the food for ah Qiao's cooking? Swallow it for me, don't waste it

He stopped chopsticks, nervously looking at Liu's father, "Dad, is it really so bad?"

Since she married into Liu's family, she has been cooking all the time. Didn't she find that Liu's father's mouth is so in his mouth? He frowned at the entrance of the dish today.

Liu's father swallowed the food and said with a smile that he didn't mean it.

He looked at old lady Liu, full of doubts.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "your father, I've been eaten by ah Qiao's food in your fourth sister's house these days. Leave him alone. You can do whatever you want. Don't you get used to it for a few days? "

Zhang Qiao volunteered, "in the future, I'll cook when I live here."

He shook his head, "this can't do! Ah Qiao came here to keep fit. "

Zhang Qiao: "I'm not tired of cooking. Besides, I'm not that bad."

Old lady Liu clapped, "well, in the future, fu'er will learn to cook with ah Qiao. The same dish, cooked by different people, really tastes different. It's also good to help children learn how to cook. "

He said with a smile, "I agree. Let me join you. I'll learn from others, and my father won't dislike my cooking any more. "

Father Liu: "you said that, I have so difficult to speak?"

"Come on, come on, eat."

The family talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good.

Zhang Qiao likes this kind of family atmosphere very much.

In the afternoon, Liu fu'er took her outside for a walk, and met elder Liu by the lake. They went to pick up duck eggs.

"Grandfather, uncle."

"My Lord, Dad." Liu fu'er asked, "ah Qiao, do you want to get on the boat and pick up duck eggs together?"

Zhang Qiao's eyes brightened, "is that ok?"

Liu Lao laughs: "silly girl, what can't, come up quickly. I'll take you with me. Don't say you're tired. "

"No, no!" Zhang Qiao waved her hand.

They rowed and picked up duck eggs on the shore. Zhang Qiao had never picked them up before, so she was very curious. She found the shell in the mud and dug out a big one.

"Sister fu'er, there are clams."

Liu fu'er lives by the lake. It's not unusual to see mussels every day.

"A lot of them in the mud, do you like them?"

Zhang Qiao's eyes brightened. "This clam shell meat can be eaten. It's delicious."

"Ah?" At noon, Liu fu'er heard from old lady Liu that Zhang Qiao was good at cooking. Now Zhang Qiao said that the clam shell meat was delicious, so he said, "let's dig some big ones and go home?"

"Yes

Zhang Qiao nodded.

She mainly wanted to see if she could meet the kind of long oval shell, thick, shell top engraving is often concentric.

Most of those mussels have pearls in them.

However, the clam shell meat is really delicious.

As far as medicine is concerned, mussel meat has good health care effect on human body, such as nourishing yin and calming liver, improving eyesight and preventing eye diseases.

They dug a lot out and chose a large one to clean the mud on the shell.

Liu saw it and asked, "what are you two doing with these clams?"

"Dad, ah Qiao said that the shell is delicious. Let's pick up some." Liu fu'er explained excitedly.

Old Liu laughs: "that's OK! You pick up more big ones. When you go back, I'll try ah Qiao's good skills. "

At home in the evening, in addition to a few baskets of duck eggs, but also brought a lot of mussels back.

He asked, heard to eat, also looking forward to try this taste.

Liu fu'er wants to learn how to cook, so he follows Zhang Qiao all the time, learning how to pick up mussels.

Zhang Qiao took the clam's mud intestines and cleaned them several times.

There are just a few pieces of tofu at home.

Zhang Qiao made a clam bean curd soup, a braised clam meat, clam meat slippery eggs, and a few home dishes.

Liu fu'er looked at Zhang Qiao with stars in his eyes.

"Ah Qiao, you are so good. Just smelling the fragrance, I know these dishes are always delicious. "

He's a good cook.

No wonder her father-in-law stayed in Zhangjia for a few days, and when he came back, he couldn't get used to the food she cooked.

He went out from the kitchen. In the yard, father Liu and son sat together smoking dry cigarettes. Is discussing Zhang Qiao's proposal.

Boss Liu is worried that he will not be able to do it, wasting duck eggs.

After all, in his opinion, Zhang Qiao is a little girl, and she will not be hairpin until next summer.

"Dad, the boss."

Boss Liu looked at his daughter-in-law and asked, "what's the good news about laughing so happily?"

He chuckled and ignored him. Instead, he asked father Liu, "Dad, how long will ah Qiao stay in our house?"

Father Liu frowned and looked over.He immediately explained: "Dad, don't get me wrong! I'm not afraid that ah Qiao will live for a long time. I want her to live for a long time. Just now I saw the cooking skill of this girl. No wonder dad likes her cooking so much.

I want to live as long as ah Qiao wants, and let Fu Er learn to cook with her. I see that ah Qiao is an independent person. Although Fu Er is a cousin, she is not as steady as ah Qiao. Let fu'er follow ah Qiao and learn a lot. "

Smell speech, Liu old father's facial expression just looks good.

"It depends on ah Qiao herself."

"Oh, I see."

Smelling the fragrance, boss Liu asked, "what's ah Qiao cooking? How fragrant

He reported the name of the dish.

Liu elder brother swallowed saliva, "listen to you so a read, hungry." He looked at father Liu, "Dad, how many drinks shall we have tonight?"

"Yes

Soon the food was on the table.

The whole family was drooling.

At the command of father Liu, everyone chopsticks.

Zhang Qiao is eating clam meat, in the heart is joyful, but some regrets. It is clear that there are several shells with concentric circles on the top, but there are no pearls inside.

Zhang Qiao is not very willing.

She'll get ready and keep looking tomorrow.

Liu's family were full of praise while eating. At last, they all felt their tummy and belched contentedly.

The children go out to put the cage to catch eels. He is cleaning up in the kitchen, and father Liu is sitting in the yard chatting and waiting for the children.

Boss Liu thought for a long time, hesitated and struggled for a long time, but still made a decision.

"Dad, I'm going to do something about preserved eggs and salted eggs. Ah Qiao says we will do what we do. Even if we don't succeed, we will lose a few baskets of duck eggs. It's not a big deal. If we do, we will not worry about it in the future. "

Life at home is not bad at the moment.

However, Liu Cheng spent a lot every year in the county college. At present, Liu Chengyin has reached the age of enlightenment, and it's time to go to the Academy.

Both brothers went to the college, and the family's expenses became larger after this year.

Father Liu has always advocated that the two grandchildren should be literate and not raise ducks and sell duck eggs by the lake for generations.

Liu Cheng went to the Academy, which is also the meaning of Liu's father.

He Fu He, "I also agree."

Looking at the couple, Mrs. Liu asked with a smile, "is this conquered by ah Qiao's cooking skills? Would you like to believe her? "
