Chapter 7 (2/2)
When the oil is hot, the ginger slices and scallions are fried. When the ginger and scallions are fragrant, the crucian carp is fried on both sides, and the smell of the fish comes out.
Pour in a little wine, ”hiss” with a hot smell, and then pour in water, cover the pot cover and increase the fire. In a moment, the fish soup turns white.
Cut tofu into the pot and continue to burn. Bursts of fish fragrance mixed with the smell of ginger and scallion floated out of the pot.
”How fragrant!” I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
When the tofu was almost cooked, Guo Xiang asked, ”Mom, do you have perilla at home? It's better to put two pieces. ”
”There are in the field. I'll pick it.” Wang Guiying said.
Went to the backyard, picked some perilla, washed it with water and handed it to Guo'er.
Guo Er threw the Perilla into the pot and boiled it for two minutes, which made the aroma stronger. Then add salt to taste, sprinkle scallion, crucian bean curd soup out of the pot.
Milk white soup and green scallions make you have a big appetite.
Guo'er swallows his saliva while holding fish soup. It's so delicious!
”It's so rich today, like the New Year!” Guo'er looked at the yellow eggs on the table, as well as the fragrant crucian bean curd, with a smile on his face.
Guo Xiang is a little sad. A bowl of eggs and a bowl of fish will celebrate the new year? I was tired of eating delicacies in my previous life, and I couldn't interest in big fish and meat at all.
But now they are very happy with such a simple meal. Were they too extravagant before?
”Eat quickly!” Guo Xiang touched Guo er's small head and said with pity.
”Well, you too, sister-in-law.” Guo'er nodded heavily and his eyes were bent with laughter. There were white rice, fish and eggs. It was so happy!
Although Wang Guiying was distressed, she was still happy to see her daughter so happy and her daughter-in-law so filial.
”Eat more!” Guo Xiang gave Guo Er fish meat. If Wang Guiying was not willing to eat, she would eat fish heads without meat.
”Sister-in-law, you eat too!” Guo'er also sandwiched an egg for Guo Xiang with a smile. From now on, she admitted in her heart that Guo Xiang was her sister-in-law.
Wang Guiying looked at the sensible two and was very pleased.
”Well, it's delicious. The fruit is really good.” Guo Xiang praised while drinking fish soup.
”It's your sister-in-law. You teach well.” Guo'er said with a smile that this was the first time she had made such a delicious dish.
”Sister-in-law, you said you couldn't do it. Isn't that good?” Guo'er asked curiously.
”I won't. I just read the recipe and remember how to do it...” Guo Xiang smiled and was a little embarrassed.
”It's all right, sister-in-law. I'll do it later. Just tell me what to do.” Guo'er smiled.
”OK.” Guo Xiang nodded and pointed to his head, ”I have a lot of recipes here. This fish soup is still my mother's practice, and others...”
”Your mother?” Wang Guiying and Guo'er look at Guo Xiang in surprise. Is it the bitch of the Guo family?
”Er...” he slipped his tongue. Guo Xiang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand. ”In fact, I'm not the Guo family's own child. I was saved by the Guo family a year ago. Then I stayed at her house for a year. Later, I fell into the water and met Zhennan, and the result was...”
”Then why don't you go home?” Guo'er asked curiously.
”I lost my memory...” Guo Xiang smiled bitterly. ”I don't know who I am or where my home is now. I only vaguely remember what happened this year...”
”The taste of this fish soup is very familiar. It feels like my mother's taste in my mind. In fact, I don't remember who and where my mother is...” Guo Xiang is disappointed. It's not that he doesn't remember, but that there is no such thing in the world?
”Sister-in-law...” Guo'er looked at Guo Xiang sympathetically. It turned out that this was the case. It turned out that Guo's eldest brother and sister-in-law were completely unaware, and she didn't mean it.
And she has amnesia. She can't even remember where her home is. What a pity.
”Xiangxiang, don't be sad!” Wang Guiying stretched out her hand to cover Guo Xiang's hand and patted it, ”in the future, this is your home. You are my daughter. Zhennan dares to be bad to you. I can't spare him!”
”Niang...” Guo Xiang was moved by the sentence ”here is your home”. She, a modern person who has never suffered anything, crossed here, homeless and helpless. If she still met a bad mother-in-law, she really didn't know how to live.
Although Wang Guiying is an illiterate rural woman, she is a kind-hearted and reasonable good man. She is very glad that she can come to this home.
She thought that even if she divorced Gu Zhennan, she would treat Wang Guiying as her own mother and Guo'er as her own sister.
