039 Braised Lamb
When Ye Taoyao came back, Mrs. Zhou was still talking about the mouth of the kitchen door. I don’t know if she had been holding it in for a long time and needed to find a sense of presence in front of others. After standing for so long, she didn’t feel tired. It seemed that only in this way could she regain her previous prestige and be able to act like an old lady.
Zhong Xiuzhi was so miserable that when she saw Ye Taoyao, she felt like she had seen a savior. Her eyes shone and her tone was excited, "Miss Third, are you back?"
The opposite of her was that Old Mrs. Zhou seemed to have been strangled by someone, her old face changed color, staring at Ye Taoyao, her heart was so blocked that she shouted.
Ye Taoyao walked indifferently from her eyes, handed the things in her hand to Zhong Xiuzhi, and explained, "The casserole is a medicinal meal specially prepared for my mother. Cook it for a while. This is mutton. Please help me clean up some side dishes. I want to make braised lamb."
Zhong Xiuzhi nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'm ready now..." As she said that, she took the thing and asked again, "Miss Third, do you want to take the spoon in person?"
Ye Taoyao had quickly tied up his apron and rolled up his sleeves, "I'll make this dish. I haven't eaten it for a long time. I don't know if my hands have been born..."
Old Mrs. Zhou stared at her like a ghost at this time. In her memory, this little granddaughter had never cooked. She was spoiled by her eldest son and was more slutty than the princess. How could she cook? Not to mention, it was such a very troublesome hard dish. She looked at Ye Taoyao skillfully handling mutton and asked subconsciously, "When did you learn to cook?"
Ye Taoyao replied with three words without raising his head, "Five years ago."
Five years ago, it was the year when she went abroad to study.
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't know what she remembered, and felt a little relieved. When she saw her start blanching the mutton, she suddenly shouted, "Don't use that pot, you have to use that pot to stir-fry dishes. Then the pot smells full of the pot, and I can't even brush it. Oh, you, haven't you heard me?"
She said that Ye Taoyao is her own. If it weren't for the purpose of disgusting these people, she wouldn't have eaten this braised lamb tonight. After the lamb was blanched, the smell of mutton filled the kitchen, which made Mrs. Zhou cover her nose with a veil. The flames in her eyes were burning, but she didn't dare to shout at Ye Taoyao anymore.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuzhi felt happy. Luo Jiahe's behavior is virtuous, but she is a little weak and cowardly. Miss Ye San is so excited. It is true that being a child should respect the elderly, but she cannot be tolerant and accommodating. This is not the old society. Which mother-in-law is still holding her back on her daughter-in-law to act as a mighty person?
Ye Taoyao has started to stir-fry now. Put oil in the pan and cook until 60% to 70% hot. First add ginger and scallion to stir-fry, then pour the mutton into the pan and stir-fry, then pour some rice wine. After the mutton shrinks and changes color, add chili sauce and stir-fry over medium heat, then add red soy sauce to stir-fry until colored, then pour the mutton into another casserole, add water, and keep the mutton over, and finally add large ingredients, sanna, cinnamon and other spices.
After boiling on high heat, turn to low heat, add cooking wine, salt, and pepper, then add carrots, dates, and wolfberry, and start simmering.
What is floating in the air now is not the smell of mutton, but the smell of arousing people's appetite. Especially the spicy sauce, I don't know how to make it. Not only does it make the dish look good in color, but the taste is also rich and domineering, and it penetrates the nose. Even Mrs. Zhou, who cannot eat chili peppers, is ready to move.
She stood there and didn't leave, her face getting worse and worse. When Ye Taoyao finished her work, she could no longer help but questioned aggressively, "Did you do it?"
Ye Taoyao asked, "What did I do if I did it?"
"You are pretending!" Old Mrs. Zhou pointed at her with her finger and was so angry that she was so angry that she was disgusting to the whole family. She knew that Zong Bao didn't like to eat radish, but she just put it on. She knew that your second uncle and second aunt couldn't smell the smell of mutton, but you insisted on making mutton. She even knew that your third uncle and third aunt couldn't eat chili peppers, but you still put so many. What wasn't you thinking about it?"
After hearing this, Ye Taoyao felt an indescribable irony. The old lady always only cares about the preferences of those people. What about other people? Should she give way to them?
Why!
She raised a mocking sneer, "I think grandma probably forgot that you have an older son, right? I am a daughter. My dad likes to eat this dish. My mom didn't like to smell the smell of mutton before, but in order to satisfy my dad's appetite, I insisted that I get used to it slowly. Before you and my grandfather came to the imperial capital, I often ate this dish at home. After you came, you were thrown into the cold palace by you. Just because my second uncle and second aunt didn't eat mutton, I wondered, it's all your flesh and blood, why are you just caring about the small ones and not thinking about the big ones? I don't expect you to change anything for my dad, but at least learn to be considerate?"
"You, you... "Mrs. Zhou was criticized and didn't know how to fight back. In the end, she said in a fury, "Your father is the eldest son. What's wrong with being the eldest brother giving in to his brother? At the beginning, your grandfather and I saved money to support him in college. We suffered so much. Now we can't stand it if we ask him to suffer a little grievance. Since ancient times, we have only been filial to our sons, but not as parents to accommodate their sons!"
"It's so pitiful to be your son. No, it's a pity to be your eldest son. The other sons are very lucky. I really sympathize with my dad."
"you……"
Old Mrs. Zhou was scolded again, but was scolded by Ye De'an who came over, "Okay, don't look at what day it is today. She is ignorant, so you are confused?"
He hit the two people all at once, Ye Taoyao sneered indifferently, washed his hands, and left the kitchen. He was about to go upstairs to find Luo Jiahe when he saw Ye Jiqing and his family of three coming.
Everyone has something in their hands and wears very particular things. For example, when visiting relatives and friends during festivals, they seem to value each other, but they are suspected of being alive.
Old Mrs. Zhou was still complaining to Ye Dean, "You know how to scold me, you didn't hear what she said just now? Is there a granddaughter like this? She is getting less and less careful about me, and she dares to teach me a lesson. Where is Jihong? Hurry up and ask Jihong to come back, I want to ask him how to teach his daughter..."
Ye Dean whispered, "I'll hold back any more than I get angry, and she wants to make a fuss, so that the second and third brothers have no shame to come back. Have you not even noticed this thought?"
Old Mrs. Zhou widened her eyes in disbelief, "She, does she have this plan?"
Ye Dean snorted and said meaningfully, "We all underestimated her..."
At this time, Ye Jiqing had already chatted with Ye Taoyao. He also had a good appearance and went to university. With the support of his identity as a professor, his temperament was even more prominent. He wore a pair of glasses and was gentle and kind, and every word was kind, "...I went to study in another place a few days ago, and I didn't know that you were back. I heard that you had obtained a master's degree? Okay, our Ye family is the most promising. You can do it in five years. Uncle San is happy for you. This is the graduation gift I gave you to your third aunt. I wish you a bright future."
