The Peasant Gourment Chef

Zhang Tieshan walked out of the restaurant and went straight to the market. Except for the meat that Li Hehua made yesterday, he hadn’t had a meaty taste for a long time. Now that he came back, he wanted to let his family live a good life.

I bought some spare ribs in front of a pork stall that has been selling for many years. After thinking about it, I bought a catty of pork belly. Yesterday, Niang and Qingshan said that the braised pork belly was delicious. Even Shulin ate several pieces in a row. He has eaten so deliciously, so let’s buy some more and let my mother make it for everyone to eat.

After buying good things, Zhang Tieshan was about to go back, but he accidentally saw Li Hehua standing on the side of the street.

There are two baskets in front of her. In the baskets are the pastries that are given to them every day. At this moment, she is handing the pastries to the guests with a smile on her face, and then collects the money neatly, telling the guests to come back next time. are satisfied.

Zhang Tieshan saw God unconsciously.

This woman is still the same, nothing has changed, but it seems to have changed again. The whole person is very different from the appearance in memory and the appearance described by the mother and brother. Is it true or fake?

Zhang Tieshan was suddenly a little puzzled.

However, thinking of what this woman had done in the past few years, he felt ridiculous for his doubts. Why do you have to wonder, what this woman has done is never worthy of forgiveness, no matter if she changed it or pretended, he has already divorced this woman, she has nothing to do with their family anymore, she can only Live in this house for a while, and then never meet again, this woman will eventually be a stranger to them.

This has been his last mercy to his son’s biological mother.

After thinking about it, Zhang Tieshan withdrew his gaze and took a step home.

When Zhang Tieshan came home, the first thing he did was to hand over the meat he bought to Zhang Lin, “Mother, you can do it at noon and make up for it for the family.”

Zhang Lin scolded for a moment, “You, why do you buy so much, you can’t spend it with money.” Although it was anger, the smile in his eyes couldn’t be stopped.

In the past few years when her son was in the army, she and her younger son lived very fortunately. For four years, she hadn’t eaten a meal of meat, and never had a full meal. She was an old woman, but her younger son was still an old man. The child, who is growing up, does not have a full meal every day, which makes her mother’s heart bleed. Fortunately, her eldest son is back, the pillar of the family is back, their life is getting better again, and there is hope for life again.

Zhang Qingshan is also very happy, it is a boy with a long body, a big appetite like a cow, his eyes will glow when he sees the flesh, and now he sees so much meat at one time, can he be unhappy.

He couldn’t wait to urge Mr. Zhang Lin, “Mom, hurry up, hurry up, I’m dying of gluttony.” What he was embarrassed to say was that he ate the braised pork made by that woman yesterday, and he has gluttonous worms in his stomach all day today. While stirring, I really wanted to eat it again, but his brother was really a savior. He bought meat today so that he could eat it again.

Mrs Zhang Lin nodded Zhang Qingshan’s head, “You stinky boy, you know how to eat all day.”

Zhang Qingshan touched his head and laughed.

Mrs. Zhang Lin complained, but in fact, he felt very sorry for his two sons and grandsons, so he got busy immediately, cooked a pot of rice, and then cooked the same braised pork as yesterday.

Zhang Qingshan’s eyes glowed, and he rushed towards the braised pork like a hungry wolf. As a result, after chewing twice, his brows furrowed slightly, and he swallowed the meat in his mouth, and he became less active when he put down his chopsticks.

Zhang Lin was puzzled, “What’s the matter? Didn’t you say you want to eat braised pork?”

Zhang Qingshan laughed, he didn’t dare to say that the taste of this meat was 108,000 miles away from yesterday’s, for fear of making his mother sad. If it was left in the past, he would definitely eat deliciously. After all, he was very happy to be able to eat meat, but after eating the meat of yesterday, and then eating the meat of the present, he felt that the food was tasteless, which was really strange.

Zhang Qingshan looked at his brother, wanting to see his brother’s reaction, but his brother didn’t chew in any way, and he couldn’t tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Forget it, his brother has always been expressionless, so he should look at his eldest nephew.

It happened that Zhang Tieshan brought a piece of meat to Shulin’s mouth and let him eat it, but Shulin didn’t open his mouth and was unwilling to eat it.

Zhang Lin was extremely nervous, “What’s wrong with Shulin? Didn’t you eat a lot yesterday? Why didn’t you eat today? Are you uncomfortable?”

Zhang Qingshan thought it was because the dishes could not attract his eldest nephew.

Shulin had been starving for a long time, and now he doesn’t want to eat. The reason why he eats these few days seems to be the food made by the woman. As long as the woman made it, Shulin seems to have eaten it. It’s delicious, but if it wasn’t for that woman, Shulin wouldn’t eat much.

The more Zhang Qingshan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he was shocked. Could it be that only the things made by that woman could make Shulin eat? What can we do then? Do you want to keep that woman?

No, no, this must not work, that vicious woman must not stay, she must be driven out.

Shulin will gradually get better, and you don’t have to eat what that woman makes.

No one knows what Zhang Qingshan is thinking, Zhang Lin’s heart is now on her eldest grandson, and she can’t help but sigh, “What can I do, what should I do if Shulin is so unwilling to eat? Eat, if this is…” Zhang Lin couldn’t say anything about the rest, but everyone knew it.

Zhang Tieshan’s brows were furrowed, and there was deep worry in his eyes. Yesterday, Shulin ate a lot of meat, and he was very happy. He thought that Shulin’s condition was getting better. Who knows, that’s not the case at all. Shulin just ate yesterday’s meat deliciously. women do…

Zhang Tieshan’s eyes deepened.

………………………………..

Not long after dinner, the Zhang family was about to take a lunch break when there was a knock on the door of the house, and a strange woman’s voice sounded, “Is anyone there?”

The Zhang family was puzzled, how could it not sound like someone from the village?

Zhang Qingshan was the first to stand up and walk out of the main room, and saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of his house, not from their village.

“Who are you looking for?” Zhang Qingshan asked.

The middle-aged woman said, “I’m looking for a person named Li Hehua. Does her family live here?”

Li Lotus? Isn’t that the woman, why is this person looking for that woman?

Although he didn’t want to get involved with that woman, Zhang Qingshan reluctantly said, “Yes, she lives here.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman seemed relieved, with a slight smile on her face, “Then I’m not wrong. I have something to do with her, can I go in and talk to her?”

Zhang Qingshan replied: “She’s not at home, she went out.” The woman went out every day before dawn, and only came back in the afternoon, and she didn’t know what she was doing.

Hearing that Li Hehua was not at home, the woman was a little disappointed, but she came all the way, so she couldn’t just leave, and she wanted to ask when she would be back. Zhang Lin and Zhang Tieshan both came out of the house.

Zhang Lin asked what was going on, and Zhang Qingshan said roughly. Zhang Lin was about to say that he didn’t know when Li Hehua would come back. Zhang Tieshan spoke first, “Come in first, she will be back in a while.”

Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Lin didn’t say anything when they saw Zhang Tieshan say so, and let the middle-aged woman in.

This middle-aged woman is none other than the eldest sister who Li Hehua asked when she first went out to work on the mat, known as Simei Cao.

Zhang Lin pulled a chair for Cao Simei to sit down. Out of curiosity, he asked, “I don’t know why you are looking for Li Hehua?”

Cao Simei said, “Are you Li Hehua’s mother-in-law? That’s right, my nephew is getting married, and I want your daughter-in-law to make a dinner.”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was shocked, and Zhang Lin thought that he had heard it wrong, “Being a banquet?”

The only chefs who can do the noodles are chefs. Without decades of experience and a few brushes, how could they invite you to do the noodles? This mat is the face of a family, how could Li Hehua be a mat?

Cao Simei only thought that Zhang Lin was a simple question, and said: “Yes, old sister, you are really lucky, your daughter-in-law’s craftsmanship is really amazing, last time she went to our village and made a recipe for our village king’s old man’s house. What is it called Pickled Cabbage Fish, it’s fragrant, it has hooked out the greed of our entire village, and the Wang family has not even eaten soup.”

Zhang Lin felt that his brain was not enough, what old man Wang? What pickled fish?

Cao Simei looked at the faces of the Zhang family, and realized that they didn’t know it yet. Could it be that the big girl wants to secretly earn some private money without telling her family? But now that everything has been said, the words can’t make sense, so I can only keep saying good things to Li Hehua, “Old sister, you are really lucky, your daughter-in-law’s craftsmanship is really good, our village’s old man Wang will invite her I’m here today for your daughter-in-law’s good craftsmanship. My nephew’s wedding, I don’t think it’s bad, I just think of your daughter-in-law, so I want to ask her to give me a wedding. My parents’ brother’s house is a dinner party.”

The Zhang family understood everything now, but they were even more astonished. They didn’t even understand, when did Li Hehua get so big to be a face? And people can come and invite people in person, how can this be so unbelievable.

Zhang Lin looked at his eldest son, not knowing what to do next.

Zhang Tieshan was also a little surprised, but he quickly returned to his normal color, and said to Cao Simei, “Li Hehua is not at home, I will be back soon, you wait a moment, and you can discuss when she comes back.”

Cao Simei smiled and nodded.

But after a bowl of tea, Li Hehua came back from town with two empty baskets in his hand.

Seeing Cao Simei sitting in the room, she was also surprised and rushed into the room, “Eldest sister, why are you here?”

When Cao Simei saw Li Hehua now, her attitude was different. She patted her hand affectionately, “Sister, I’m here to meet you today.”

“Being a seat?” Li Hehua asked.

Cao Simei explained the matter again, “My eldest nephew is going to get married. Originally, my brother was going to find Zhou Laogen, but I think your dishes are much more fragrant than Zhou Laogen, so I want to ask you to do it. .”

This matter is completely unexpected to Li Hehua now. It is simply a business delivered to her door. How can she not be surprised and unhappy, so she immediately said: “Okay, thank you eldest sister for trusting me so much.”

Cao Simei smiled and said, “You have to be good at your own craftsmanship. You showed that hand that day, but it was delicious. Although I couldn’t eat it, I know it must be delicious. I don’t choose who you choose for your craftsmanship. After saying this, she talked about the situation at the banquet hall, “Sister, my family has more people than the old man Wang’s family. There are twenty tables at the banquet hall, and it has to be busy for two consecutive days. You can be busy. ?”

Li Hehua was happy when she heard that there were twenty tables, but it was quite a lot of work. She could only cook by herself, and tasks such as washing and chopping vegetables were too late to do. She needed someone to help, but she didn’t. Knowing if the host could help, I immediately asked, “Eldest sister, I can only cook the vegetables. Is there someone doing the washing and cutting?”

Cao Simei nodded, “We know that, my sister-in-law and I will be there to help you, you are only in charge of cooking.” There are also those who do all the kitchen work, but for that price But there is more than five cents per table. Of course, most people are reluctant, and the women in the family will go into the kitchen to help.

Li Hehua was relieved.
