The story of the old alley in Shanghai - (9-67) once a big lady

After everyone entered the table, Mother Yang also first sandwiched each dish in the bowl of the United States and Britain, which is the practice for the most honored guests. Mother Yang said while sandwiching: "Meiying, every dish is tasted, what you like, tell us, let's make it." ”

Mao Mao would say: "This should be asked to the big brother, right big brother?" ”

Mei Ying was embarrassed to hear it.

Father Yang said busily: "Meiying, don't be embarrassed, it's like coming to your own home." ”

Mei Ying nodded in agreement, "Oh, okay. ”

Mother Yang looked at Meiying with a smile and said, "At first, I was worried that you were a southerner, and you were not used to northern cuisine, and you didn't know what to do." Later, Xuezhi told us that you can still eat spicy, and I just played it casually. ”

Mei Ying replied, "Actually, we haven't spent much time in the south, basically staying in the north, so we eat more northern food."

Father Yang said, "That's fine, then you eat more." These are the dishes that Xuezhi's mother went to buy early this morning, and they are all fresh. At this time, Yang's mother brought a dish out of the kitchen, it was a white round ball, the ball was still bubbling, Mei Ying looked at the novelty, Yang Mother clipped one into the bowl of mei Ying, and said: "Try it quickly, this has to be eaten while it is hot, but it must be slightly leisurely, don't be hot." ”

Mei Ying took a curious bite, only to see that after passing through the crispy outer layer, there was also sweet bean paste inside, together with the outer layer, the entrance was both melted, mei Ying said in surprise: "Auntie, what is this dish, it is too wonderful, it is simply hot ice cream." ”

Father Yang said happily: "This is snow sponge bean paste, which is the unique skill of Xuezhi's mother." ”

Mei Ying couldn't help but praise: "This is simply amazing." Auntie, how is this dish made, and what are the ingredients in this white? ”

At this time, Doudou said urgently: "Sister Meiying, you should eat it quickly, this dish will not taste good when it is cold." When I finished eating, I waited for my mother to say it was not too late. “

Yang's father smiled and clipped one for each of them and said, "Indeed, this dish cannot be said to be eaten slowly." “

Everyone laughed.

After everyone had finished eating, Mother Yang began to introduce herself triumphantly: "The white outside is egg white, and the red inside is bean paste." The production of bean paste is relatively simple, that is, after the red beans are cooked first, filtered with yarn leaks, so that the bean paste inside is soft enough, and there is a sense of layering, and then fried in oil, so that it is easy to form; it is more difficult to get the egg white, first separate the egg white and egg yolk, a little egg yolk can not have, and then hand-beat the egg white to the degree that the chopsticks can stand upright, add starch or flour to make a paste and set aside; then put the bean paste balls dipped in egg white and fried in oil, which is also the most difficult time, the oil temperature is high And the surface will become scorched yellow and not white The oil temperature is not enough to make the egg foam paste and will not be fully inflated and the plate is easy to collapse. ”

Mei Ying sighed: "This dish is really not easy, every link is very challenging." ”

Father Yang said: "Today our family has VIPs coming, and it is rare to do it once." ”

Mei Ying said with embarrassment: "My mother also deliberately asked me to tell my aunt and uncle, although I didn't know how to cook before, but I will learn it as soon as possible, but now it seems that this starting point is so high, I am worried that I will not be able to catch up in a short time." “

Mother Yang said happily, "No, it won't, xuezhi will just do it." No, there are us. “

Mei Ying still said seriously: "No, no, no, I still have to learn." Xuezhi is also very busy, and can't let him work hard alone. “

Father Yang said happily: "Okay, no hurry, take your time." “

A meal is eaten to the fullest. After eating, Mei Ying rushed to wash the dishes, Xiao Yang's parents of course did not agree, Mei Ying thought that she could not cook, and then did not perform well in housework, it really seemed too ignorant. For a moment, he froze.

Or Xiao Yang said: "Well, I wash with Meiying, so that Meiying also knows where to put things." “

Xiao Yang's parents gave up. But I still think that the first time I let the guests into the kitchen to wash the dishes, it is too careless to go.

Mei Ying washed the dishes very carefully, and also soaked them in boiling water once, and put them aside to drain before washing the dishes well.

Xiao Yang's parents think that Meiying is really quite good, not squeamish at all.

After washing the dishes, Mei Ying went to the living room, hurriedly took out the gift, and said while taking it: "Auntie, uncle, this is the gift that my mother asked me to bring to everyone, and I don't know if you like it or not." “

Xiao Yang's parents said busily: "It's good that people come, you don't have a job yet, how can you make you break the bank?" “

Mei Ying said: "Yes." Auntie, this bundle of wool is for you. This is what our best wool mill produces, because they had the task of exporting before, so their technology is very good. “

Mother Yang took the yarn, shined it on the light and said, "This process is really good." In particular, this dark blue is the most difficult to dye, many wool mills are to dye some of the dyed color to dye dark, the result will be exposed in the light, such as some will show red, and then the color itself does not have the natural luster of wool. You see how positive this dark blue is, the color of cyan under the light, and then there is the luster of the wool itself, it is indeed a good yarn, it is difficult to buy on the market. Thank you so much Mom. I've wanted to buy this color for a long time. ”

Mei Ying took the cloisonné ornament to Yang Dad, and demonstrated while saying: "Uncle, this can be used as a paperweight, usually you can also make ornaments, you see, mention this, the middle can be opened, and cigarettes can be placed inside." "Sure enough, I saw that the original artifact in the shape of a yuan treasure bottle was lifted up in the middle, and the middle was spread out like an umbrella bone, just like a lotus leaf slowly opening, and there was a trough inside that could put cigarettes, which was really surprising to people."

Everybody was around this apparatus, studying it, and it was so interesting. Yang's father simply fell in love with this gift, and called out to Meiying's mother for her unique vision.

Then Mei Ying took out two red scarves and gave them to Mao Mao and Bean Bean, and said, "This is my mother's knitting, using the most fashionable grape needle pattern now, I hope you like it." ”

Mao Mao and Bean Bean happily surrounded, originally the two people looked like dolls, the pattern of grape needles was particularly three-dimensional, like relief, and with the big red background, it seemed that the skin of the two girls was carved.

Mother Yang took the scarf and looked at the stitch method carefully, and exclaimed: "Oh, this grape needle is difficult to learn, and it is particularly laborious, unlike other stitches, after getting familiar with it, it doesn't matter if you chat with people while weaving, but this stitch will have to stare at the eyeballs well, and you have to count the needles in your heart, otherwise if you make a wrong line, you won't be able to become a grape in the back." Oops, I also knitted two in a row, which is too hard for your mother. ”

Mao Mao and Doudou also said: "That is, we have always wanted to learn, we have not learned, this is good, we also have this kind of scarf." The two of them said as they ran to the bedroom and looked in the coat mirror.

Mother Yang said: "I heard that your mother's rice is also doing well, and she will also eat Western food, and the wool work is so good at weaving, your mother is really very powerful." “

Mei Ying smiled and lowered her head.

Yang's father cut an apple for Meiying: "Eat a fruit, let Xuezhi and his two sisters, take you to the Big Cross for a turn, that is the most lively place in urumqi." “

Mao Mao and Doudou heard that they were going shopping and were very happy. Taking Mei Ying's hand, he said: "The Great Cross is the place where we have the most shops here, and everyone comes to Urumqi and loves to go there." Let's be sure to have a good time! “

Mei Ying was also infected and nodded happily.

Girls are born to love shopping, although when Meiying was young, she went to many places with her parents and visited many high-end shops, but as long as it is shopping, Meiying has never been suspicious.

Urumqi shops in the things, naturally more lively than the United States and Britain's side of the side, along the way three girls twitter, one will look at this, one will look at that, not lively, the three girls are beautiful, provoked passers-by to turn back to stop and watch, bitter is xuezhi, from time to time have to pay attention to them, do not crash into the bicycle.

Mao Mao and Bean Bean took Mei Ying to a huge open-air stall where there was a kind of Uighur homemade ice cream, only to see the clerk inside take a thing and chisel a large piece of ice, chiseling while adding thick cheese, and then pouring a little red jam on the top, eating it into the mouth, a milk smell, and the ice chips are very delicate, in the summer, more thirst-quenching than ice cream and not as greasy as ice cream.

There are many people who eat, because the ice cream is too cold, when it encounters hot air, it forms a cool air around the cup, and this cool air gathers for a long time, it becomes a water droplet, and then the water droplets fall on the plastic sheet, so you can see such a scene, the plastic sheet has been ticking like rain.

But still can't stop the enthusiastic guests, everyone does not dislike this dripping plastic sheet, sitting next to it, peacefully, slowly enjoying this intoxicating ice cream.
