Chapter 466
After dinner, Yu Niang and Zhongxuan were planning to go back to the hotel to stay. The old lady said that this was not a way to entertain guests. They were all home, so how could they let the guests live outside and have a place at home and live at home.
It is hard to refuse the affection. Yu Niang couldn't resist the old lady, so she agreed, "Thank you for being kind, that's so disrespectful. In fact, I have loved Suzhou since I was a child, and I have always wanted to stay in the old house in Suzhou for one night, experience the ancient charm of Gusu, and share the earthly atmosphere here. Today, my dream has come true."
The uncle and the uncle packed up their bedrooms for Zhongxuan and Yu Niang to live in; Li Chao slept in the guest room; Qingrou and grandma slept together.
In the evening, Qingrou hugged her grandmother and said a lot of warm words before she fell asleep sweetly without realizing it.
The next day, Qingrou and Lichao got up early. After breakfast, Qingrou told his uncle to ignore anything today. She came to cook and invite grandma and everyone to taste it.
The uncle said in surprise: "Rourou can cook? It's so impressive that she looks at her."
Qingrou smiled mysteriously at Uncle and said, "Because I have a good master who has been teaching me."
After saying that, he led Qingxi and the others to the vegetable market with Li Chao. Yu Niang was about to experience the daily life of Gusu, so she also took her husband Zhongxuan and Qingrou and a large group of young people to buy vegetables along the way.
The night before, Li Chao helped Qingrou set up the recipe and decided to buy those things in advance. So when they arrived at the vegetable market, the two of them were as if they were in water and sold them according to the orders they had planned early.
Selling vegetables at the market is a very familiar thing for Li Chao. He also patiently taught Qingrou and Yu Niang how to choose vegetables: which are fresh, what kind of tenderness, which are seasonal vegetables and which are off-season...
Qing Xin and Mina blinked their eyes while hearing this, and even Qingxi asked in surprise: "You brother-in-law can still buy vegetables?"
Li Chao and Qingrou looked at each other and said, "It will be a little bit."
Because Li Chao wanted to buy Sichuan cuisine seasonings that were not available in the local vegetable market, Qing Xin took them to a large supermarket to buy them.
On the way home, Qingrou was about to follow Yu Niang and walked back along the moat.
Along the way, Yu Niang was very interested and felt everything was fresh when she saw it. She kept asking her son to take photos and take photos of her. She was so happy that she looked like a big girl, not like an elder, but like the older sister of Zu Qingrou and the others.
When she got home, her grandmother also came to the yard to help Qingrou and the others pick and manage the dishes. She chatted with her granddaughters while doing things, and asked Li Chao if she could cook.
Li Chao looked at Qingrou and smiled. Qingrou said to her grandmother: "When I first met him, he was the chef. Li Chao and his sister opened a restaurant, which is very famous in our place. He has also brought many apprentices, and I taught me step by step."
After hearing this, my grandmother praised: "The little man dares to be so capable, and there are so few young people who know how to cook now. We Qingxi can't even brush the bowl."
Li Chao pleased the old lady and said, "Grandma, Rourou and I will cook a few dishes later. Who can cook better? It depends on how good the master skills I trained."
Grandma happily replied: "Hello, well."
After preparing the ingredients and auxiliary ingredients, Qing Xinmina helped Qingrou bring the things into the kitchen. They both felt it was strange and didn't believe that their delicate sister could really make delicious food. They never went into the kitchen. Not to mention them, even Qingxi stood outside the kitchen window and looked inside curiously.
Qingrou thought that her grandmother was old and had bad teeth, so she tried to make some soft and delicious dishes. Under Li Chao's guidance, Qingrou made a hot-clad mandarin fish and a seafood stewed egg. Both dishes were Suzhou local dishes, which were very skillful. Others like steamed beef and sweet and sour pork ribs were crispy and tasty.
Li Chao wanted Qingrou to show her face and be outstanding, and even taught her step by step a famous Suzhou dish: "Water and Perch" ", a delicacy made with water shield and wild fish in Taihu Lake and soup. It is said that she even attended a state banquet. Finally, Li Chao taught Qingrou to cook the eight-treasure turtle.
The dishes Li Chao himself are mainly Sichuan flavor, such as Gongbao shrimp balls, dry-fried eel segments, red stewed mouse spots, mountain mushroom pickled pepper bullfrogs, big knife double-cooked pork. He was afraid that grandma, uncle and others should not eat too spicy food, and try to make the taste calmer. There is only the last dish of spicy chicken, marijuana, and a heavy taste. Li Chao wants the young people of Jingxi Qingxin and others to see the real Sichuan cuisine.
When Mina saw a large plate of delicious dishes full of red peppers and pepper spices, her eyes opened larger than a copper bell for an instant, and she was choked by the strong and spicy taste of the spicy chicken and coughed continuously. So she secretly swears in her heart that she would never touch this dish in a while.
Looking at the large table of delicious dishes, Grandma and the Qing family couldn't help but praise them.
After Qingrou helped her grandmother sit down, she said, "It looks good, it tastes so good, it looks so delicious, it looks like you have appetite. Oh, don't stand there, move your chopsticks and taste the skills of Kasama and Rourou."
After grandma moved the chopsticks, everyone started to eat.
Qingrou sat next to her grandmother, constantly picking up food for her. The old lady was happy to eat and nodded frequently to praise the good taste.
After tasting it, the uncle gave a thumbs up and praised it: "It tastes delicious, better than the uncle, especially this 'Water and Perch Thought', which makes your eyebrows fall down!"
Li Chao laughed and said, "Ha, I learned another Suzhou dialect. This sentence is very vivid, uncle." Then he said to everyone: "Because it is not the season for producing pond croaker, I have to use other lake fish instead. Next time before Qingming Festival, Rourou and I fought back, and used pond croaker to cook an authentic "Water and Perch Thoughts" and make a bean soup. Grandma, uncle and everyone taste it."
When the uncle heard this, he praised, "Ha, you are a big expert!"
Seeing that Jingxi was constantly eating spicy chicken, and was so spicy that he was so spicy that he kept eating the chicken. After pulling a few bites of white rice, Mina kept eating the chicken, and asked him, "It's delicious?"
Jingxi nodded and replied: "I don't even slap the delicious food in the face."
Mina picked up a small piece of chicken in doubt and tasted it and shouted happily: "Looking at the heart, I had a delicious meal, but my mouth and tongue were spicy... spicy... spicy "I drank a drink and looked for chicken in a bunch of chili sections.
Grandma was sucked by the eating of Jingxi, Mina and the others, and wanted to taste it.
Li Chao hurriedly found a small piece of chicken and put it into grandma's bowl, and told him: "Grandma, it's very spicy. Be careful to eat it and don't choke."
Grandma smiled and said, "Young man dares to underestimate people. I dare to eat the hot pot you have, let alone this one." After eating the chicken, I really coughed by the spicy taste.
Qingrou hurriedly patted her grandmother's back and served juice. When the old lady breathed evenly, she mocked everyone and said, "Gaga (show off) first." The old lady's wit and humor made everyone smile knowingly.
Jingxi, who was sitting next to Qingrou, ate three large bowls of white rice in a row. Qingrou blinked and joked, "It seems that you really can't eat it anymore."
Jingxi smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's still...it's still not as good as it used to be."
...
Everyone had a happy meal at this family dinner.
After lunch, everyone had a tea and rested for a while. The Qing family went out to accompany Shangguan's family to visit the old city, and also listened to Suzhou Pingtan.
In the evening, the old lady invited everyone to Songhelou for dinner. Yu Niang felt very embarrassed and advised: "Old lady, you really don't have to be so polite. They are all her family. There are still a lot of dishes left at noon. Let's go home to eat, it's comfortable to eat at home."
Grandma said: "You must eat in a restaurant when you give away guests. This is a courtesy."
Yu Niang couldn't, so she had to obey her orders.
Everyone came to Songhe Tower. The old lady was obviously very familiar with it. She ordered many signature dishes in this old restaurant without even reading the recipe: squirrel mandarin fish, whole duck with female oil, watermelon chicken, eel paste, green snail shrimp, green leaf cherry meat, crab meat tofu... There were so many orders, and Yu Niang was so anxious that she advised: "Enough, old lady, I can't finish it. How many days do you have leftovers for eating?"
After dinner, grandma asked the uncle to book a boat and asked the whole family to travel to the moat at night.
Listening to the tour guide explaining the humanities and historical allusions of Suzhou, looking at the dazzling lights on both sides of the straits, beautiful night scenes, and admiring Suzhou Pingtan, Yu Niang felt refreshed and even her heart was intoxicated...
When he got home, Yu Niang quietly pulled Qing Wenyuan and his wife aside, forced Qing Wenyuan to 30,000 yuan, and asked him to buy something for the old lady.
Qing Wenyuan was not willing to accept it. Chu Yan was very displeased when he saw it, saying, "Yu Niang, you are slapping the Qing family in the face. How could you do this like you? We would not run to get rid of this bad habit." After that, he pulled Qing Wenyuan away and left Yu Niang there.
Li Chao came up and hugged Yu Niang and smiled, "You must not be able to do this, you're hitting the wall! It's okay, I've thought about it, Yu Niang, buy a good massage chair from the Internet and send it directly to my grandma. She will have to accept it if she doesn't accept it."
Qing Rou, who was standing beside him, listened to the advice: "Li Chao, it really doesn't need to. Grandma will scold us like this. Rather than that, I will tell grandma to go now."
Li Chao grabbed her and pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, Rourou, today I spent a lot of effort to teach you cooking, so that you can show off all the money. I'll break the bridge now? Besides, I'm giving grandma a massage chair is our juniors' wish. Think about it, even those who don't know each other, we need to help those who don't know, let alone your dearest and most beloved grandma, we can't be filial to her. If you listen to me, I'll give grandma to my grandma in the name of both of us. When I see our filial piety, grandma will not be too happy. I'm not sure that my good deeds will be ruined."
Yu Niang praised her son's idea and said happily: "It's still awesome. This idea is good, I can't think of it. Rourou, don't mess up this matter, it's also your two filial piety to the old lady."
Qingrou wanted to say something. She couldn't help but scare Li Chao, so she had to listen to him.
On the morning of the third day of coming to Suzhou, after breakfast, Qingrou Lichao and his friends said goodbye to their grandma and were about to go to Hangzhou. Qingrou couldn't bear to let her grandma go, so she held her grandma's hand and kept crying silently.
The old lady helped her wipe the tears from her face and said, "Rou Rou doesn't cry, she misses grandma and is back for the Chinese New Year."
Li Chao also hugged Qingrou and coaxed her: "You miss the old lady, we can also pick her up in Jindu for a while. Okay, stop crying, come happily and leave happily, and the old lady will feel at ease."
Qing Wenyuan wanted to stay and accompany his old mother, but the old lady beat him up and said that he was so old and didn't know the general, and took his wife, daughter and future in-laws. He would not leave, and would not leave at home. He was with a useless old woman at home, which was unruly. The old lady said that she was still very tough and she wanted to live until she saw Rourou's granddaughter and grandson-in-law gave birth to a good great-grandson for her.
When Yu Niang and the others drove to Hangzhou, because Li Chao wanted to accompany Qing Rou, they had to let Qing Wenyuan drive first. Li Chao hugged Qing Rou and sat in the last row, gently comforting her and comforting her.
Yu Niang said to Chu Yan: "This child is a child who values friendship and is close to her grandmother, so she can't bear to leave her."
Chu Yan told Yu Niang: "When Rou Rou was a child, Lao Qing and I were busy with work. Rou Rou lived with her grandmother. It was her grandmother who brought her up. She was almost eight years old, so we took her to Jindu. When she was just home, Rou Rou missed her grandmother every day, and she hid in her bed and cried at night. Her tears often wet her pillows. To be honest, I have always been very grateful to the old lady. Rou Rou has been well trained by the old lady since she was a child. She knows the rules, is polite, knows how to be grateful and knows how to feel sorry for others. The old lady writes beautifully and teaches Rou Rou since she was a child. When she left Suzhou, she was afraid that she would be abandoned, so she specially asked one of her college classmates to help contact Mr. Shan, begging Mr. Shan to accept Rou Rou as a disciple and teach her calligraphy. Lao Qing and I didn't know Mr. Shan at that time, it all depends on the old lady."
Yu Niang said in surprise: "Ah, the old lady has been to college? I really can't tell."
Chu Yan glanced at Yu Niang and replied, "Oh, don't underestimate the old lady, she is a famous lady. The old lady was born in a wealthy family in Suzhou. I heard from our old Qing that her mother's business was very big, and there were semicolons of their money shops everywhere in the country. At that time, the entire street and the two adjacent streets of the old lady now lived in were their parents' industries. The old lady had received a good education since she was a child and lived in a pampered life. If there were no changes in her family later, the old lady might have immigrated to Europe or the United States before the founding of the country."
Yu Niang woke up as if she was dreaming and said, "No wonder she has such a good temperament. She has a kind of a celebrity in every move. I have never understood it in the past. You are so popular, you are so buzzing, but the daughter you raised is so elegant, quiet, knowledgeable, and polite. After you say this, I finally understand, and my gentle temperament is all for her grandmother."
Chu Yan couldn't help laughing out loud, pushing Yu Niang and saying, "You are very honest."
Chu Yan and Yu Niang are already very familiar with each other, so they speak casually. Chu Yan continued, "But it's not really what I praise my daughter. Rourou was very sensible and well-behaved when he came to Jindu. Every morning, he got up neatly and cleaned his beds, and all her own objects were placed in a regular manner, and even I felt ashamed of it. Of course, this was a good teacher from the old lady, because in her hometown in Suzhou, the old lady herself was like this. The son is very particular, so he has strict requirements for her grandsons and granddaughters. With the careful cultivation of the old lady, the girls are all very successful and all are versatile. Qingxin is now a well-known online writer, Mina has also been admitted to the National Academy of Opera, and Jingxi is also a top student at the University of Electronics. Moreover, their sisters and sisters have a strength, that is, their calligraphy is very well written. This is very valuable in today's era. I am not as good as the sisters and sisters."
Yu Niang joked: "The words written by your doctor are all heavenly books. It's good that we can recognize them, so you can naturally be able to compare. But to put it really, your mother-in-law is really good at educating children. Look at the two sisters Qing Xin and Mina, not only have beautiful appearances, but also exudes the unique agility of Jiangnan girls from the inside out, but also has a pure and elegant temperament, which is very different from other children."
"Our family is more charming and elegant than her two sisters. She is fairy-like and looks unparalleled in the world!" Li Chao finally found an opportunity to flatter her lover.
Everyone smiled heartily after hearing this, and Chu Yan said humorously: "Li Chao, you are very good at boasting."
Li Chao hugged Qing Rou tightly and smiled at Chu Yan and Yu Niang, "Really, there is no need to mention the temperament of Rou Rou, the most important thing is that she is good-hearted, kind and kind. I heard Xiangyue say that Rou Rou donated most of the money she bought from calligraphy and paintings and New Year's money to the children in the mountains, and even saved some money from her monthly living expenses to help those poor babies buy books and stationery. She usually doesn't want to buy more new clothes, and she changes her aunt's clothes when she was young. So when I met Rou Rou, I felt that she was dressed elegantly and generously and tastefully, which was very different from other girls. Hahaha..." Li Chao also put a high hat on her future mother-in-law as she brought her.
Chu Yan was happy when she heard this and smiled and said, "Li Chao, you are really good at speaking."
Yu Niang continued her son's words: "Rou Rou is so good, then you have to cherish her twice as much. Did you hear that, you guys?"
Li Chao replied: "That's for sure. Rouer and I will never be separated in our lifetime."
At first, Qingrou felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed when she heard him praising her like this in front of her parents and Yu Niang, but when she heard the last sentence he said, she felt very sweet again.
The car drove out of Suzhou city, and Qingrou's mood gradually improved. Li Chao changed from Qing Wenyuan and let him drive. Along the way, the two families talked and laughed, stopped and walked easily and walked towards Hangzhou while playing.
