Chapter 254: Silver Pomfret Stewed with Rice Wine
Lao Lu lay in the rocking chair and watched Sihai dragging Wuyuan to learn to walk. The child was about to be seven months old and was very energetic.
You have to expend energy appropriately during the day so that you can sleep well at night.
Otherwise there would be trouble late at night.
Sihai was wearing a thin jacket and holding the chubby Wuyuan with both hands, working very hard.
The little face was flushed red from holding it in. Wu Yuan was wearing a red bellyband, with colorful silk threads wrapped around his waist, and a silver bracelet on his wrist that his eldest sister bought in the capital. It was so shiny that the child always wanted to grab it.
The little brat was led by his brother, kicking his legs hard on the ground, moving his little feet forward crookedly, and waving his fat hands in the air, trying to maintain his balance.
As Lao Lu watched this scene, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
"Grandpa Lao Lu, did you hear what we were saying?"
Xu Anyang waved his hand and gestured in front of Lao Lu.
"What?"
Lao Lu seemed to have just noticed that people around him were talking, and there was a hint of confusion on his face.
"I say, you should have dealt with Xu Guining last night, so that he wouldn't come over to disturb us all the time. Especially Sister Yiyi, she's already exhausted from being busy with the restaurant all day, and now she has to deal with these messy people..."
Xu Anyang muttered to himself, looking somewhat unhappy.
"How do you know I didn't deal with him?"
Lao Lu raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke mysteriously.
"How should we clean it up? Just make him clean the yard? That's too easy for him."
Xu Anyang said this angrily. Lao Lu looked around and found that several aunts working there also looked angry.
The person involved, Xu Yiyi, was still in the kitchen thinking about new dishes.
"Alright, alright, stop overthinking it and put your mind at ease. Xu Guining can't cause any trouble."
Lao Lu waved his hand, looking calm and confident.
The incense he lit last night was a good thing. I guess Xu Guining can sense that something is wrong now.
……
"Si Hai, take your little basket and go to the dock and buy two pieces of old tofu."
Xu greeted them one by one, and the aunties in the yard stopped gossiping.
After all, Xu Guining is Xu Yiyi's uncle, so no matter how bad their relationship is, it is not up to outsiders to say anything.
They were silent for a while, then immediately started chatting about other things.
"Boss Xu, do you have sea snakes in the restaurant today?"
Two women came in from the back door with small steps.
"It's not sea snake season yet, so the restaurant doesn't have this ingredient."
The sea snakes we caught a while ago were brought back with the help of sea turtles.
The woman felt a little lost.
"I have some fresh shrimps and crabs, and a lot of different kinds of fish..."
Before Xu Yiyi finished speaking, the woman waved her hand.
"My grandson is not in good health, so I want to eat some fresh sea snake to replenish his body."
The woman sighed and said.
"I didn't see anyone buying it at the dock. I just came here to ask because I remembered you bought something here a while ago."
The woman said this and sat down in the yard in a familiar manner.
"We do have silver pomfret. Stewing it with rice wine is very good for replenishing qi and blood."
Xu Yiyi raised her chin and motioned the two to look at the silver pomfret in the wooden basin. The woman shook her head.
"My grandson doesn't need to worry about replenishing Qi and blood. Isn't that something only women need to replenish?"
The other woman heard it and spoke.
"I want it, but my cooking skills are not good. Boss Xu, please make me a portion so I can take it back to my daughter-in-law."
Xu nodded.
"My daughter-in-law is deficient in Qi and blood after giving birth, so she needs to be nourished. Besides, stewing silver pomfret with rice wine does more than just replenish Qi and blood."
When the woman heard this, she hurried to get one too.
"Boss Xu, please go ahead and do your work. We'll come back later."
After a few pleasantries, Xu Yiyi carried the fish offal that Xu Anyang had prepared to the kitchen.
"Sister Yiyi still makes fish soup?"
Xu Anyang came over without stopping and prepared to burn it.
The weather is really hot these days, and no matter how delicious the fish soup is, it is not something people can eat every day.
"If we make stir-fry, this thing should sell well."
As Xu Yiyi was speaking, she suddenly remembered something.
"Auntie Rong, after you finish your work, boil a few buckets of tangerine peel water. All customers who come to the restaurant can drink it for free."
Aunt Arong nodded in response and muttered a few words.
"Sister, there's no more tangerine peel!"
When Sihai heard this, he scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
The dried tangerine peels that were bought were placed on the counter in front. I guess the child would pinch some to eat from time to time while working every day.
"Buy some more."
Xu Yiyi said this nonchalantly, and Sihai wanted to hug Wuyuan when he heard it.
"My brother won't go."
Xu Yiyi said without turning around.
When Sihai heard this, he immediately put Wuyuan down, and the child fell to the ground on the bamboo mat.
The arms support the upper body and the legs keep moving.
After working for a long time, he didn't move at all, and finally watched Sihai leave.
