Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Chapter 169 Xiaohao's Background

Xiao Le and his friend had a delicious lunch at noon. Ouyang Xiaomei and her two friends were so nice. Now they had another treat tonight.

Although they can cook, they can only cook the simplest dishes. Ouyang Xiaomei and her friends' cooking skills are comparable to those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants.

So even if Ouyang Bo asked them to go back and rest, the two of them still confirmed again and again whether they needed to stay and help.

Seeing the brothers' excitement, Ouyang Bai unceremoniously escorted them out of the courtyard, saying only that he would come over to call them.

After everyone left, Ouyang Bai closed the courtyard door, and then the others started to prepare the ingredients in the kitchen.

Fortunately, the new stew pot I bought is big enough, otherwise I might not be able to stew two chickens at a time. Chopping meat is a physically demanding job.

However, with Ouyang Bo doing this, naturally no one else would be responsible. Ouyang Qing put the oil in a pan and fried the ginger slices first, then put in the pork belly and continue to fry.

Pour out the juice and continue to stir-fry. The key at this time is to add a spoonful of crushed white pepper and a small cup of white wine to remove the fishy smell.

Then continue to stir fry, then pour boiling water into the pot. This is the trick to make the soup base milky white. After removing the floating foam, pour it all into the stew pot.

Prepare an empty plate, grab a proper amount of white lotus seeds, red dates, and polygonatum, and replace the codonopsis with ginseng slices.

After a quick wash, I put it into the stew pot, covered it with a lid and stewed it for half an hour. I saw that my brother had already processed the mutton.

Ouyang Qing soaked the mutton in a vegetable washing basin to remove the fishy smell. Today's chefs are Ouyang Qing and her sister.

Xiang Xiaoqing was quietly lighting the stove, and in the big pot was stewing the braised rabbit meat made by Ouyang Yan.

Taking advantage of his free time, Ouyang Bai went to the next door and brought back the cakes and cream he brought from J City.

Put it directly on the table, "Qingqing~ I heard that this is the latest facial cream, and it also has whitening effect,

Each of you can have two jars and divide them among yourselves. I have tasted this pastry and it is not bad. Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so you can try it together."

"Thank you, big brother. You don't need to buy cakes for home next time. The cakes made by Xiaoqing are delicious. I'll get you a piece to try."

As he spoke, Ouyang Qing took out a box from the cupboard, took out a snack box and opened it.

"Brother, try Xiaoqing's and see if it tastes just as good."

There were several different kinds of pastries inside. Ouyang Bai picked up a piece and tasted it slowly.

It really melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy. "It's really good. Xiaoqing, your pastry-making skills are almost as good as those of the master chefs in J City."

Xiang Xiaoqing was suddenly praised, and her face flushed, not sure whether it was from being burned or from being embarrassed. "Thank you, Brother Ouyang, for the compliment.

If you like it, try a little of everything.”

Ouyang Qing saw that the time was almost up, so he put the chopped chicken and wolfberries into the soup pot, and simmered them on low heat for another 50 minutes before seasoning.

Ouyang Yan divided the cream into three portions, talked to the two of them, and took it back to the table in their respective rooms.

"Third brother, you don't know that Grandpa and Grandma used to run a pastry shop, but they had to close it later.

I'll tell you in secret, Xiaoqing is amazing. I heard from Grandma that as long as there are ingredients, Xiaoqing can make a lot of cakes. "

Ouyang Bai nodded, "Then I really benefit from you two. I am so lucky."

As soon as the words fell, the three sisters started laughing.

"Brother, can there be room for so many people living next door? If not, you can live in my room. I can live with Sister Yanyan."

"The kang next door is specially made to be the same size as the one at the educated youth camp, so don't worry, it's more than enough for several people to sleep on."

"That's fine, big brother, can you stay a few more days this time?"

"Why, you still want big brother to accompany you every day even though you are so old!"

"No way~ I learned a few tricks from my mom before I went to the countryside, so I wanted to make some more delicious food for you to try."

Ouyang Bai is very proud that his sister now relies on him like she did when she was a child. It feels really good.

"This time I can stay two days longer than at home. Fortunately, this place is close to the army. I will come here often when I have time.

Qingqing~ You guys should not be as impulsive as you were today when you encounter something in the future. At least wait for uncle and aunt to come.

Don't underestimate the evil of human nature. Some people will cause more trouble if they keep silent, you know?"

Several people nodded repeatedly. Ouyang Qing was thinking, there is no other way but to be a good boy in front of his elder brother!

"Xiaohao is a very pitiful child. In fact, he is the same age as Xiaoheng. I will help you if I can in the future. Got it?"

"Then why did he go to the countryside at such a young age? Did something happen at home?"

"Yeah! Third brother, we were saying at the beginning that his age and appearance didn't match at all, and he was too thin."

Ouyang Bai pondered for a while and realized that the girls were not the kind of people who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. Xiaohao was such a pitiful child.

After they leave, it will be better for them to take care of each other. So I told the three of them about Ye Lihao's experiences in the past few years.

Including the matter of Mr. Ye and his companions here, Ouyang Qing and his sister always thought that their aunt was already weird enough.

I didn't expect that when compared with Xiaohao's aunt, he is even worse than Student C, not to mention that he is the only blood of his mother's family.

"Brother~ I suddenly feel that our aunt is nothing. How can someone be so mean?

I believe that Xiaohao's parents must have blessed him and let him meet Brother Bai, otherwise it would be hard to say whether a child could survive in a foreign country.

There is no chance of coming back alive."

"Third brother~ Has Xiaohao's aunt been arrested? People like that don't deserve to live."

"No wonder the kid was so thin, but at least he's back."

"You just need to know about this matter, but you must not reveal it to anyone else, understand? As for Aunt Xiaohao's matter,

Now is just the time not right, people like this will definitely be punished in the future."

Hearing his elder brother say this, Ouyang Qing immediately understood that today would definitely be the happiest year for Grandpa Ye and Xiaohao in the past few years.

Xiao Hao came back without seeking revenge and immediately went to the countryside. It must be that it is not suitable to seek revenge now. Given the current situation,

It is better to maintain the status quo and take good care of the only relative first. There will be a long time in the future.

The chicken soup was almost done. Ouyang Qing first simply seasoned it, picked up two pot cloths, and took the chicken soup off the stove.

It was placed on the dining table. The rabbit meat in the big pot was also cooked. Two rabbits were a lot of food, so Ouyang Yan directly put it in the ceramic bowl that she used to hold the fish at noon.

"Sister Yanyan, wash the pot first, and leave the goose to me. I will make something different for you today."

Ouyang Yan nodded. She had never eaten dry-pot goose before, but she could learn it and try to make it herself next time.

After changing the coals in the stove, Ouyang Qing put the pot on the stove. The fire hadn't come on yet.

It's just that the pan heats up a little slowly. Heat the oil in the pan, and directly put the soaked mutton into the pan and stir-fry to remove the fat in the mutton.

This will make the mutton fragrant and not greasy. When the meat changes color slightly, add the bean paste and ginger, and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.

Then add peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, fennel, cumin seeds, and dried red peppers to increase the flavor.

Salt, MSG, soy sauce, and finally a small piece of rock sugar will make the lamb taste better. As usual, add a small sip of white wine.

Finally, add a large bowl of water, cover the pot with the lid, and simmer on low heat for an hour.
