Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Zhao Xiaotang actually saw a figure flashing past the door while he was talking, but he didn't care about that at that time.

Fu Bao sent the message through brain waves. Zhao Xiaotang knew that the other party was He Yuyu, so he thought the other party was back and didn't take it seriously.

He and Lou Xiao'e started chatting away, and from time to time Xu Damao would interject or talk about some topic. He would pick it up and then brag again.

The two people he introduced were laughing and laughing all the time. Zhao Ke didn't come back at noon. Zhao Xiaotang felt strange but didn't think much about it. After all, Zhao Ke was doing clerical work, so the reason why he came back must be because he was busy at work.

So when it was time to see that the other party had not come back, Zhao Xiaotang suggested that the other party have dinner at his house.

Lou Xiao'e refused continuously and wanted to leave when she saw the meal. Xu Damao said anxiously:

"Don't worry! Sister Xiao Tang's cooking skills are like this. I usually don't have a chance, but today I have a chance. You can try her cooking later and keep it if you want to eat it."

"On your first day here, Brother Damao can only take you to a restaurant. Anyway, I'm bored eating alone, so let's go together! But you can't eat for free. Brother Damao will help me wash the vegetables. Sister E will help me peel the garlic, and I will make two dishes for a delicious lunch."

"Okay! I don't eat for free. Leave it to me to wash whatever dishes you have for lunch. I can still wash the dishes. I still have a piece of meat at home, so I'll go get it and add some dishes."

Xu Damao said without humility, who can't cook after being single for a long time? It's just that the taste is not very accurate, so the taste of the dishes is hit or miss.

He was too embarrassed to eat for nothing. Thinking of the piece of raw pork his family bought yesterday, he hurried back to get a piece to eat.

Although Lou Xiao'e was embarrassed, she still nodded. After all, she was more stubborn than two people. Moreover, when Xu Damao said this, she also aroused her curiosity and wanted to know how delicious Zhao Xiaotang's cooking was.

Xu Damao ran back to get the meat, and Zhao Xiaotang would not stop him. He took Lou Xiaoe to the kitchen. As soon as he opened the kitchen door, he put the dishes he wanted to eat on the chopping board.

A 2-pound piece of tofu, a -pound piece of red sweet potato jelly, two large potatoes, a few young bamboo shoots, a killed rooster and seven or eight chili peppers.

"Sister Xiaotang, what are you going to cook?"

Looking at the various dishes on the chopping board, Lou Xiao'e said with some curiosity and embarrassment,

"Make spicy stir-fried chicken, pan-fried tofu, sad jelly, hot and sour potato shreds, meat stir-fried bamboo shoot shreds, and make tomato and egg soup later."

Zhao Xiaotang immediately reported the name of the dish, and Lou Xiao'e asked strangely:

"Sad jelly has such a strange name. Why should a jelly be sad? And why is this one this color? Is it transparent and white?"

Lou Xiao'e's questions came out one after another. Zhao Xiaotang took out two garlics and asked her to peel the garlic while answering her questions.

"This is jelly made from sweet potatoes, so it's dark brown. The white jelly you mentioned is made from pea flour. While it's still hot, put it in a large colander and let it fall freely. It's also a basin of cold water, so it's like one. Each one is like a drop of water,

The sweet potato jelly comes in large chunks. You can cut it into small pieces or strips with a knife when eating. As for why it is called sad jelly, you will know after you eat it. "

Zhao Xiaotang gave up a little, and the upturned corners of her mouth made people think that she had evil intentions.

However, Lou Xiao'e was peeling garlic, so she didn't notice the other person's expression. She was still wondering why a piece of jelly was called sad?

Xu Damao quickly brought the meat over. When Zhao Xiaotang saw that it was still a piece of pork belly, she took out a bottle of barbecued cumin powder from the cabinet because she wanted to eat barbecued pork belly.

The three people cooperated and soon the dishes arranged by Zhao Xiaotang were placed on the table.

The steamed buns are ready-made and can be steamed directly. The rice is cooked in a rice cooker, so it is very fast. Basically, the rice is ready when the dishes are ready.

Zhao Xiaotang served the last soup, and the three of them sat down happily.

Without saying such polite words, she started to eat directly. Lou Xiaoe immediately went to eat the jelly noodles, which were neatly cut and stacked and topped with a thick layer of oily chili and chives.

This dish was made right away, so even if the seasonings are not mixed evenly, they are still marinated and flavorful.

So Lou Xiao'e was hit hard at the first bite.

"Ah water, water, water~ ha water~ give me water quickly, it's going to kill me~"

Of course, Xu Damao's first choice was to eat meat. The scent of cumin had already turned him into a glutton. Where could he still hold back after finally starting to eat?

As a result, as soon as he took a bite and before he could taste the delicious food, he heard his wife-to-be’s exaggerated and somewhat funny movements.

Zhao Xiaotang was already prepared, turned around with a smile, and brought a bowl of cold boiled water from the low cabinet next to him.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was already in tears. When she saw a bowl of water in front of her, she grabbed it with both hands without thinking and put it in her mouth.

After a while, she finished a large bowl of water, but her mouth still felt spicy.

Zhao Xiaotang also thoughtfully gave the other party a clean tissue to wipe his eyes and nose.

Lou Xiao'e was a little embarrassed and angry, snatched the paper and wiped it on her face.

"Haha~ Sister Xiao'e, you know what sad jelly is, right? Hahaha~"

Zhao Xiaotang laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking. It was so funny. Lou Xiao'e's eyes were red because of her tears, which made her look even more soft and delicate. Xu Damao's eyes widened when he looked at her.

"You are so bad, can't you tell me? You really put in so much chili pepper."

Lou Xiao'e said with some anger,

"The dishes you eat need to have more chili peppers to make them taste better. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it that spicy. For example, the noodles here haven't absorbed the sauce very much, so it won't taste that spicy. I didn't expect that. You are so fast! I was about to say something! But then you put such a big piece directly into your mouth."

Zhao Xiaotang feels that he is a little unjust, okay? But as he spoke, he didn’t hold back and started laughing.

Lou Xiao'e was even more embarrassed. Xu Damao came to his senses and quickly defended his wife-to-be:

"Sister Xiaotang, something is wrong with you. Fortunately, you are an adult. What if you were a child? Xiao'e, are you okay? Why don't you eat this cold tomato? Look at how sweet this is. I didn't expect that I can still eat it at this time. A fresh tomato, this guy must be quite capable!"

Xu Damao said with concern. In the end, he couldn't help bragging. After all, there were really not many people who could get tomatoes at this time. The key was that he knew this person. Not only was he a neighbor, he was also a brother and sister. How could he be unhappy?

"You sound like I'm so heartless. Hurry up and eat your food! Sister Xiao'e, are you okay? Try these dishes. You will definitely like this cumin pork belly. You should eat this dish while it's hot or cold. It doesn’t mean that anymore.”
