Rebirth Ninety's Fat Wife Should Be Self-reliant

Chapter 39 Winter Melon Pork Ribs Soup

According to Lu Changqing's prescription, she went to the vegetable market and picked up half a winter melon and two pounds of ribs to take home.

Soak the ribs in cold water first, then process the winter melon on the cutting board.

There is no need to peel the winter melon, but you need to cut two inches from the round end to make a cover. Clean the two pieces of winter melon, wash them inside and out, then clean the pot, put a spoonful of lard in it, and fry the ribs on both sides.

Clip out the golden color.

Then brush the pot clean and dry, put the flat side of the winter melon directly into the pot, cook for two minutes to make the winter melon and the pot tightly connected, then pour in two bowls of boiling water, throw in the green onions, ginger and ribs, and add another spoonful

Add salt, cover with the two inches of winter melon you just cut off, and simmer over low heat for half an hour. The whole yard will be fragrant.

The aroma of winter melon and pork ribs from Zhou Huilan's side quickly drifted out.

Zhou Huilan originally wanted to carry a bowl to the Lu family, but after thinking about it, she seemed stingy, so she simply went to the Lu family and called Aunt Fengxia to come over, carry a pot, put a pot back and eat it together with the whole family.

Seeing the whole winter melon in the pot, Lu Fengxia was also surprised, "If it is stewed whole, can it be cooked?"

Zhou Huilan put a handkerchief on her hands and opened the lid of the winter melon. The aroma of the pork ribs hit her face, and the aroma of the oily winter melon soup was even stronger. Her greedy aunt licked her mouth in embarrassment.

"Look at the food you made. It's thoughtful and delicious. I, a clumsy person like me, really can't learn it."

After so many days of contact, Zhou Huilan understood Lu Fengxia's character, so she told her aunt again what Lu Changqing had told her. But after she finished speaking this time, before Lu Fengxia could speak, a loud voice suddenly floated out.

Came over.

"Is this pot filled with water to stew winter melon?"

Zhou Huilan and Lu Fengxia were both stunned. They looked around the yard and saw no one. Granny Duan was still lying in the room.

"Here it is, here it is!"

Following the sound, she looked over and saw a man lying on a ladder on the west wall of the yard. He waved hello to Zhou Huilan with a smile, "I mean, lately I've been smelling someone's cooking that smells so fragrant. I bet it was Grandma Duan's family who moved here."

Chef Qiao, your winter melon stew is really delicious, can you teach me how to cook it?"

They are all neighbors, and with a good attitude towards others, Zhou Huilan will not refuse, but this recipe was given by Lu Changqing, and she cannot spread it to others without authorization.

"Auntie was joking, I just made it by myself and I don't know how to teach anyone."

"Why not? Just tell me how to do it, or you can do it again and ask me to watch from the side. That'll be fine."

"Aunt Daniu, my girl is thin-skinned, and you are too thick-skinned. Can't you see that I don't want to teach you? Your man is a master chef in a state-owned restaurant, why do you need to learn cooking from others?"

"I didn't ask you why you talk so much." Aunt Daniel curled her lips, gave Lu Fengxia a vicious look, and then smiled at Zhou Huilan.

"Hey, you..."

Zhou Huilan pulled Aunt Fengxia and asked, "Aunt Danu, right?"

"Alas!" The head lying on the wall was a little excited.

"I can't teach you, and I really don't want to teach you. Although the wall you climbed up is shared by two families, but if it collapses and damages my things, will you pay for it?"

"You..." Aunt Daniel's face turned the color of pig liver.

"If you don't leave, I'll poke you with a stick..." Zhou Huilan gestured to get the stick, and then the head on the wall bulged and disappeared.

"When dealing with this kind of person, you can't give her face. The better you talk, the more she will push for it, so you can't start!" Lu Fengxia said angrily at the wall.

Although Zhou Huilan didn't like the person who climbed the wall to peek, she could also see that Lu Fengxia didn't just dislike that person.

"Auntie, you said her man is the master chef of a state-owned hotel?"

"Yes, my name is Niu Guangde." He glanced into the room before lowering his voice and said, "I also heard from Changqing's grandma that the old lady from the Niu family is very powerful. She raised two sons. The eldest son learned from

She has good cooking skills and has become a favorite in state-owned restaurants. Taking advantage of this, she just took over the two best parts of the Duan family's yard. She herself is a man who can't do anything. She will come over and climb the wall if she smells something.

Too greedy for her!"

In these days, cooking skills are like welders and electricians. It is a skill that can make a living and is not passed on to others.

While Lu Fengxia was talking, she pulled Zhou Huilan out, talking about the weird neighbors on the street and insisting on keeping Zhou Huilan to eat with her at the Lu family.

She refused, but also thought about asking Lu Changqing for a few more recipes, so Zhou Huilan agreed.

Lu Fengxia went to invite the old man. Zhou Huilan was serving the rice here. As soon as the bowls were set, Mr. Lu came over.

"That old woman, it's really rare for you to come to my house!" Mr. Lu became mean as soon as he showed up.

Before Zhou Huilan could move, Lu Changqing said first: "Grandpa, try this winter melon cup, it smells really delicious."

Mr. Lu glanced at the winter melon soup with a nonchalant expression. He looked up at Zhou Huilan, but suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute!"

Zhou Huilan had just scooped up a spoonful of soup. The old man's words frightened her so much that she dropped the spoon directly into the bowl. The winter melon soup splashed all over her hands. Before she could retract her hand, a handkerchief was already covered on the back of her hand.

It's Lu Changqing's handkerchief.

The soup was brought from Duan's house. It was not very hot anymore. It was just burning on my hands and there were no blisters.

Lu Changqing pulled Zhou Huilan to flush the water, but Mr. Lu, leaning on a cane, reached out and grabbed Zhou Huilan's wrist.

"Why is this bracelet in your hand!?"

"Grandpa, you hurt her!" Lu Changqing pulled the old man's hand away.

Zhou Huilan was also very surprised, what happened to the old man, "Grandma Duan gave it to me."

But the old man didn't move. It wasn't until Lu Changqing called him several times that the old man suddenly came back to his senses and murmured to himself as if he was in a daze, "The Xu family has hundreds of years of foundation, hundreds of years of foundation."

…”

He didn't sit down again, but opened the door and left.

Lu Fengxia hurriedly followed, and Zhou Huilan couldn't help but feel worried, but Lu Changqing took her to the kitchen, turned on the faucet and started washing her. Seeing that Zhou Huilan was absent-minded, he explained: "Grandpa is always a little confused when he encounters the matter with Granny Xu.

It's fine."

"Granny Xu?" Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, but suddenly remembered that Granny Duan had said at the beginning that her husband's surname was Duan and her maiden name was Xu. So the hundreds of years of foundation of the Xu family that Mr. Lu just mentioned, could it be compared to what her mother-in-law had given her?

Is it related to this bracelet?

"Yes, my mother-in-law's surname is Xu."

After washing his hands, Lu Changqing went back to the table, took a big sip of the bowl of winter melon soup, and felt that his stomach and intestines were warmed all of a sudden. The fragrance of winter melon filled his lips and teeth, and there was no unpleasant smell at all.

"Doctor Lu, how do you like this soup?" Zhou Huilan also sat down.

Lu Changqing nodded, "It tastes good."

"Doctor Lu, if you don't want to give me a few more recipes, I'll go back and try it. When it's ready, I can bring it to you to eat!"

"Okay, I'll write it to you in a moment."

After coming out of the Lu family, Zhou Huilan had three more recipes in her hands. Lu Changqing wrote all of them in classical Chinese, and the names were difficult to pronounce. She shortened the recipes based on the raw materials, including spinach porridge, tremella and wolfberry soup, and three kinds of mushroom soup. The ingredients were all

It's not complicated, but the method is mainly steaming and stewing, which is indeed much healthier.
