Chapter 389 My daughter is awesome!
Xia Anan gained some experience from successfully cooking duck in the morning. Now she could just adjust the proportions of all the seasonings and stew the rest of the duck.
First, let Tao Lian blanch all the ducks to remove the blood foam, while Xia Anan cooks the sauce, and finally move out the two largest pots in the house to stew them together.
While the stew was going on, Xia Anan and Fu's mother prepared some vegetables.
Kelp knots are salted when you buy them, so you need to clean the salt out when you wash them. Untie them one by one, clean them, and then tie knots.
After all, you are eating it yourself, so cleanliness is the most important thing.
Lotus root slices, potato slices, enoki mushrooms, and some cooked tiger skin eggs and quail eggs.
One pot is made spicy and the other is made non-spicy, so that Xia Baobao and others who can't eat spicy food can also try it.
The cooking time in a large pot is slower than in a pressure cooker.
But the three of them had nothing to do in the afternoon, so after sending Xia Baobao to the teacher, they had some free time, eating fruit and chatting in the yard while waiting for the duck to be braised.
The aroma of the braised food soon wafted out of the pot.
Not only can you smell it in the yard, but even people passing by in the yard can't help drooling when they smell it.
Mother Fu ate melon seeds and said, "An An, next time you make something, tell me in advance so I can go buy the ingredients. It's embarrassing to keep eating your food."
Xia Anan: "What's there to be embarrassed about, Auntie? Just eat it. I can't finish the food I make, so I put it in the refrigerator. If you like the food I make, I'll be very happy too."
"I've eaten so much of your food, and I always feel bad about it. Giving you money feels a bit like an insult to you."
And she didn't just eat it by herself, there were two other foodies in her family...
Xia Anan waved her hands quickly: "No, no. I'll give you some of this marinade later. If you want to eat it, ask the aunt at home to buy some vegetables or meat, blanch them and put them in to cook. The remaining marinade can be recycled."
"Recycle? How?"
In the past few decades, Fu's mother rarely cooked. She only knew how to cook some simple home-cooked dishes. She was too lazy to make anything more complicated and just let her aunts do it.
I'm too lazy to braise or fry anything.
"Just boil this pot of brine, skim off the fat, let it cool and put it in the freezer. If it tastes too bland, add a little more salt and some spices."
"The centuries-old stew is cooked all day long, but we can't do that. Keeping it in the refrigerator can have a similar effect."
Xia Anan had seen this method when she was watching videos online.
Saving a portion of the old broth will make it much easier next time you make it.
Mother Fu took note and said, "Okay, then give it to me later and I'll take it back and try it."
After the two large pots of braised food were cooked, Xia Anan found two food-grade storage boxes, gave a large box of each to Fu's mother, and then poured full of sauce on them.
Xia Anan reminded: "This stew needs to be left overnight to soak in the flavors so that it will taste better. You can ask the aunt at home to help preserve the remaining broth."
"Okay, thank you, An An."
Xia Anan also covered the two large pots, and took out some of the food when eating in the evening, and packed the rest tomorrow.
Fortunately, she has all the tools at home, and they can be packed and sent out directly tomorrow.
"Sister Tao, take whatever you want to eat back home for your family to try."
"Thank you, Miss Xia."
Xia Anan sent a message to Xia Yidong one day in advance, asking him to come to her place the next day to get the braised food.
The other party had only been to the original house before, and Xia Anan was worried that he wouldn't be able to find it, so she made an appointment with him to meet at the snack street and brought the things to him directly.
In the evening, Lu Qingyuan came back from the company with a cold face. Xia Anan thought someone had provoked him, so she personally brought the fruit to him.
"What's wrong? Is this because you're having trouble at work?"
"No."
Lu Qingyuan replied coldly, followed her hand and bit the orange into his mouth, chewing it as if he was chewing an enemy.
Xia Anan pinched his face, "What happened?"
"An An, why don't you stop delivering food to those people in the future? I feel like they are all coveting you."
"what?"
Xia Anan thought she had heard it wrong.
Lu Qingyuan spoke out his guess word by word: "I found out that someone in the company's work group wants to kidnap you, look."
He showed Xia Anan the message on his phone.
-[How can I marry a wife like the boss lady, who is beautiful and has good cooking skills? 】
- [The boss is so lucky, he can eat meals made by the boss’s wife every day...]
-[Who of you ate the duck today? It tasted so good...]
-【What a piece of shit, I didn't even see a bone. 】
-【I was a little late, and the whole floor was filled with the aroma of duck.】
-【Ahhhh, I can't eat the duck made by the boss lady herself, I'm going to blow up the company.】
- [Can everyone please be more restrained? The boss is still in this group.]
After this message was sent, those people seemed to react, but some messages could be withdrawn, while some could not be withdrawn.
Lu Qingyuan said with grievance: "They are just jealous that I can eat the food you cook, and they are gossiping about me behind my back..."
"..."
Xia Anan pretended to believe what he said.
"Then it's settled. From now on, you can only bring my food, not other people's."
Xia Anan: "Okay, okay, okay."
She didn't make it specifically for other people. She just made too much and gave it to other people. I really don't know why this person is jealous.
The next day, Xia Anan took out two boxes of braised dishes and gave them to Xia Yidong first, asking him to take them back to school to eat.
I'll pack some more for Aunt Xiuxiu. The dried meat and sausages that I measured again some time ago are almost ready. I'll pack them, seal them, and send them over together.
The weather is cold now, but cold chain transportation is still very reliable. There is no need to worry about the goods going bad after a day or two on the road.
"Do you have anything else to send home? I'd like to go with you to send the express." Xia Anan asked.
Xia Yidong was holding two large boxes of braised food, feeling very touched: "No, no more. You sent so much to my house, how much does it cost?"
He didn't think so before, but since Xia Anan treated him to so much food, he felt a little bit grateful.
Xia Anan: "I've eaten a lot of your food before, and they were all made by myself, not expensive."
Now that I am using the original owner's body, it is normal for me to repay the original owner's kindness.
I only do things within my ability, and it would be even better if Aunt Xiuxiu likes the food.
Xia Anan found the courier with the fastest delivery time, packed the package tightly and sent it out, then called Aunt Xiuxiu and asked her not to forget to pick up the package.
"Didn't you send me some last time? Why are you sending me something again?"
When Liu Lixiu received Xia Anan's call, it would be a lie if she said she was not surprised.
"It's some food I made myself, and some winter clothes. You and uncle can try them on to see if the sizes fit."
"It's suitable! How can it not be suitable!"
Liu Lixiu chatted with Xia Anan for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
The few people who were playing mahjong together just now all looked at him with envy.
"Hey, Lixiu, who called you?"
"That's right, I heard you say you bought something, what did you buy?"
"Could it be that Dongdong kid? He's going to college now, he's going to be very successful!"
Several people were talking about this, and Liu Lixiu interrupted them, "It's not that boy Dongdong, it's my daughter! She sent it to me by express, and she said it will arrive today!"
Several people looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"No, you are Dongdong's only child, right? Where did the girl come from?"
"We are all from the same village. It would be pointless if you lied to us!"
Liu Lixiu continued to grab the cards in front of her and said with a smile: "Why don't I have a daughter? My daughter is even better than my son!"
The woman next to her wanted to refute her, but suddenly thought of something.
She lowered her voice and said, "Lixiu, you are not talking about that Erya, are you?"
"What Erya! That's my An An!"
Liu Lixiu didn't like them doing this. An An clearly had her own name, but they had to call her Erya Erya.
"Okay, okay, then...Didn't An An go to the city to find her parents? I heard that she started a business in the city and is making a lot of money."
"Is this true? What kind of business is this?"
"I heard they were selling food. Didn't they come back a while ago? Didn't you see them?"
The woman was getting excited and gestured with her hands: "You don't know? I didn't recognize her when I saw her the other day! She was tall and white, so beautiful! Otherwise, people in the city are different from us."
She kept on talking a lot, and the other people were all stunned.
Liu Lixiu was satisfied. "I won't tell you anymore. The courier will come soon and I have to pick it up!"
Having said that, she put down the cards in her hand, turned around and went home.
The remaining few people were extremely envious.
Who could have thought that Erya would become so powerful now, sending back a lot of things at any time. Liu Xiuli's family has benefited greatly from this.
Look at the Xia family again, they must be regretting it so much.
