One stove and two pots.
Li Xia used one pot to cook the rice and the other to stir-fry the vegetables.
Chu Mengxi, who had never seen Li Xia enter the kitchen before, stared at him with her pure and beautiful almond-shaped eyes in disbelief.
When they first got married, Chu Mengxi did not know that Li Xia knew how to cook.
Moreover, his movements were so skillful.
Kacha!
Li Xia put two eggs into a bowl and poured some warm water into it. He used his chopsticks to stir the eggs and water evenly.
During the day, when Li Xia went to the riverside to plant the cages, he picked a few tomatoes and a handful of green and red peppers from his vegetable field.
Because Chu Mengxi usually did not have the time to take care of the vegetable field, and Li Xia in the past would not have cared about it, the tomatoes were not big, and the green and red peppers were a little withered.
However, the impact was not great.
Li Xia used the kitchen knife to make a cross on the surface of the tomato. He peeled it easily and cut the tomato into small cubes.
First, he heated the pot and poured oil into it until it was 80% hot.
Li Xia scooped up a small spoonful of bright pork fat from the porcelain tube.
Only then did Chu Mengxi react. Even this small spoonful of pork fat made her heart ache.
Usually, when he cooked, he could not bear to use pork fat, mainly because pork fat was too expensive.
However, she only opened her mouth and did not say anything.
Li Xia poured the egg mixture into the pot. With a sizzling sound, the egg mixture quickly formed a honeycomb shape.
Li Xia's movements were very nimble. He used the iron spoon to draw a circle and stir-fry twice before immediately serving it.
The soft and fluffy golden egg's fragrance filled the air.
Immediately, the two little fellows 'attention was attracted and they looked at him eagerly.
Li Xia shook his head. These two little fellows wanted to eat it whenever they saw it. They were undoubtedly greedy insects.
Duoduo's black grape-like eyes stared at the eggs that had just come out of the pot, and Nuan Nuan couldn't stop drooling.
"You two little gluttonous cats, wait patiently. Daddy will be done cooking soon.”
"Alright ~! Dad, we'll wait."
"Daddi, take your time. We're not hungry! Slurp!"
Li Xia looked at the two kids and shook his head with a smile.
There was still a little oil left in the pot, so he continued to add the diced tomatoes.
Stir-fry for a while on high heat, add eggs, and pour in a little water. After the soup was slightly dry, it could be taken out of the pot and placed on a plate.
Li Xia sprinkled some green onions on the steaming tomato scrambled eggs. It looked, smelled, and tasted good.
It looked exactly the same as the ones cooked in the restaurants in the county.
At this moment, Chu Mengxi watched Li Xia finish cooking a dish with her own eyes. Her eyes were filled with shock.
His culinary skills…seemed to be very good.
The next dish was stir-fried green peppers with pig fat dregs.
Heat up the oil in the pot, stir-fry the ginger and garlic, and then stir-fry the green and red peppers evenly.
Then, he added the pig fat residue, added salt and light soy sauce, and continued to stir-fry evenly...
At this moment, a family of four was gathered in the kitchen.
Chu Mengxi had been looking at the stove while Li Xia was stir-frying the pig fat residue in the pot. The remaining large bowl of pig fat residue was placed on the side of the stove.
From the corner of his eye, Li Xia saw two little kids doing 'bad things' secretly by the stove.
Duoduo brought over a small stool and stepped on it. She tiptoed and reached out with her small hand to grab some pig oil residue before sneaking back down.
How big could a child's palm be? Although he had grabbed a handful, there were not many pieces of pig fat residue.
Nuannuan quickly cupped her hands and waited for her sister to "divide the spoils".
One for you, one for me.
Before she could finish, Nuannuan hurriedly grabbed a piece of pig fat and put it into her mouth.
Li Xia shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything. He just put the big bowl of pig fat residue on the stove.
It was not that he did not want the two little fellows to eat, but he was afraid that they would accidentally knock over the bowl.
In the end, Li Xia still wanted to cook a braised fish, but Chu Mengxi stopped him.
" That's enough. There's still half a fish in the lunchbox, and fried eggs…"
Amidst Li Xia's astonishment, Chu Mengxi opened the aluminum lunch box. She had only eaten a little of the braised fish and fried eggs that she had eaten in the afternoon.
Li Xia was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said with a serious expression,"
"Why didn't you eat at noon? There's so much left?”
" It's too much. I can't eat it…" Chu Mengxi said very softly.
More than a ghost!
Li Xia sighed helplessly in his heart. How could he not know that Chu Mengxi was reluctant to eat?
She would rather eat cold cornbread than bring back delicious food for the two little fellows.
"Don't do this next time. You have to finish everything.”
Li Xia used a commanding tone, not allowing Chu Mengxi to say " no."
Chu Mengxi was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Li Xia, a complicated expression appearing on her pretty face.
She was not used to it.
Why did Li Xia's 'blaming' tone sound so concerned?
What did he mean by 'next time'?
Could it be that he still wanted to send her food?
Chu Mengxi's heart trembled…
Li Xia opened the pot that was used to cook the rice and placed the bamboo steamed rice cake on top of the rice. Then, he placed the remaining braised fish and fried eggs on top and heated them for a few minutes.
After a while, dinner was ready.
The dishes were served on the table.
Crispy and delicious green peppers stir-fried with pig oil dregs, smooth and fragrant tomato scrambled eggs, white, soft and smooth, crystal clear and fragrant rice...
Chu Mengxi looked at the table full of food in a daze.
What an extravagant dinner!
In the past, she did not even dare to think about it.
Even if it was the New Year, they couldn't eat so well.
The two little ones were the most excited. Looking at the brightly colored dishes, they clapped their hands excitedly.
In order to get food as soon as possible, they even went to move stools.
Li Xia shook his head at them as soon as he climbed onto the stool.
"Hmm? Duoduo, Nuannuan, Daddy told you what to do before dinner.”
Duoduo and Nuannuan were stunned. They tilted their heads and thought for a few seconds. Then, they suddenly remembered something and said in unison,"
"Dad said to wash your hands before eating.”
"Well, then why aren't you guys going?" Li Xia nodded.
Thus, the two little fellows hurriedly climbed down from the stool and ran to wash their hands.
Liu Mengxi looked at the two children who had become very obedient. They were actually so obedient to Li Xia. These two little fellows…
"Let's go wash our hands and eat.”
Li Xia turned his head and smiled at Chu Mengxi.
"Oh, oh, okay."
Up until now, Chu Mengxi was still wondering what had happened to the man in front of her.
Why was there such a huge change?
However, she could not figure it out.
During the day, she had already made up her mind to get a divorce. She was prepared to lay her cards on the table with this man at night.
But now, Chu Mengxi looked at the table full of food and the 18.75 yuan in her pocket.
The plan to get a divorce was thrown to the back of his mind for a moment.
……
Dong dong dong!
Aunt Wang knocked on Li Xia's door with a bowl of fish soup and three tortillas.
Before Li Xia was reborn, he was always wandering around.
There was only Chu Mengxi and the two children at home.
Today, Aunt Wang believed that the situation was the same.
She thought that Li Xia must have gone out to fool around again, and Chu Mengxi and the two children must not have eaten yet.
Even if they ate, it would definitely be cornbread and sweet potatoes.
Aunt Wang knew that it was not that Chu Mengxi was unwilling to give her child good food, but that she really did not have the money.
As long as there was money or something good in the house, it would definitely be taken away by that scoundrel Li Xia!
They couldn't save money at home, nor could they store rice.
……
Aunt Wang thought that the two children would definitely drool when they smelled the fish soup.
There wasn't much fish in the fish soup that Aunt Wang brought over. After all, she couldn't bear to give so much fish.
He hadn't eaten enough at home yet.
"Who is it?"
Chu Mengxi's voice came from the courtyard, followed by the sound of light footsteps.
At the same time, the kitchen door opened. Aunt Wang, who was at the door, immediately smelled the rich fragrance of food.
This fragrance was much richer than the fish soup in his hand, and it directly covered it.
The fish soup instantly lost its fragrance.
Aunt Wang was stunned.
What kind of food was cooked in here? Why was it so fragrant?!!
