??Chapter 101 Hospitality
??Li Qingqing happily took Song Xi's arm, and said with a smile on her face, "It's my turn to rest today, Xiaoxi, last time you came to my house I didn't entertain you well, so I will make it up to you today."
??Song Xi smiled shyly, "I'm not a person who craves food, as long as I have something to eat."
Li Qingqing took Song Xi's arm and led her back, "Xiao Xi, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores after dinner, first see if we can buy what we want, the ones at the trade fair Although things don’t require tickets, they are expensive, and if you can buy them outside, you don’t need to waste money at fairs, right?”
?? "Miss Qingqing is right." The reason why Song Xi is willing to go to the trade fair with Li Qingqing is not mainly for shopping.
?? I just want to find a legitimate reason for the things I took out of the supermarket!
??Li Qingqing thinks that this beautiful little girl is very appetizing.
??If she was a man, she would definitely want to marry back home as a daughter-in-law.
?? But she is a girl, so she can only be sisters with Song Hee.
??The two returned to Li's house soon. Everyone else in Li's house was at work and only Li Qingqing had a rest.
??Grandpa Li and Grandma Li are also at home, and the two of them are preparing for lunch.
??The last time Song Xi came to their house, due to lack of time, the food was very ordinary.
?? This time they all wanted to arrange more generously.
Seeing Li Qingqing and Song Xi appearing at the gate of the courtyard, Grandma Li wiped the water from her hands on her clothes and came to greet her, "Xiaoxi is here? Don't be cautious about treating this as your own home, just stay at home today .”
?? "Thank you Grandma Li, Grandma Li, this is something from our mountain."
??Song Xi handed the small dried fish, wild boar bones and honey in the back basket to Grandma Li, "We made the small dried fish ourselves, and the pig bones were given to us by the villagers who hunted wild boars."
?? "Xiao Xi, it's fine for you to come, why do you bring things? It's not easy for you to live in the mountains!"
??Grandma Li is distressed and grateful. Life in the city is hard enough. Isn’t it even harder for people in the mountains?
?? Mountain people depend entirely on the weather for their food!
??The weather is bad, the harvest is low, and the public rations are not enough. What else do I have to eat?
?? "The temperature is quite high today, Grandma Li should boil the bones quickly! Otherwise, it will stink in a while, and I am so sorry that I have worked so hard to carry it all the way." Song Xi urged.
?? What she brought today was pork ribs with meat, not the empty bones that the meat was picked from the supply and marketing cooperatives.
?? It would be a pity if it really tasted bad.
?? "Okay, then I'll make bone soup for you, let's play!"
??The old people are used to thrift, and when they think that the bones will stink, they feel distressed immediately.
??Grandma Li did not refuse in the end, and went to the kitchen with the bone.
?? "Sister Qingqing, can I borrow your vegetable sink?" Song Xi looked at Li Qingqing.
??Although everyone wants to treat this place as their own home, don't be cautious.
??But she won't be so impolite to touch other people's things without permission.
??No matter what, it is better to get the consent of the owner.
?? "Use it, use it as you like, don't need to tell me." Li Qingqing took the wooden basin and placed it in front of Song Xi.
??Song Xi took out crabs and river prawns from the basket.
??Although the river prawns are not as big as those in the supermarket.
?? But it is also five or six centimeters long. The main advantage is that the portion is large, and everyone can enjoy it.
??Song Xi raises crabs and river prawns in well water.
?? While Li Qingqing was looking for a brush, Song Xi quietly added some spiritual spring water into the wooden basin.
?? Crabs and river prawns nourished by Lingquan water will be more delicious.
??It can also quietly improve the Li family's physique.
?? To be honest, the Li family let her see the warmth and warmth of the family.
?? Such a family can be regarded as a real home.
?? Such a home is something that she can't even dream of in modern times and now.
??Maybe she can create such a family by herself in the future.
?? After Grandma Li stewed the bone soup, she came out and saw Song Xi and Li Qingqing washing the crabs, and said embarrassedly, "This... this, I don't know how to make crabs either!"
"It's okay, Grandma Li, I can make it. Let me make crabs and shrimps!" Song Xi smiled sweetly at Grandma Li, "Grandma Li, go and rest for a while. I will let Grandma Li try my cooking at noon. Grandma Li still wants to eat after eating."
?? "Then please trouble Xiaoxi." Grandma Li rubbed her hands in embarrassment.
??He wanted to treat Song Xi well, but he didn't expect Song Xi to do it himself.
?? Let the guests do it, it's not good to say it.
?? Wait for Grandma Li and Grandpa Li to work together to finish the meal.
??Song Xi went to the kitchen with Li Qingqing, Li Qingqing lit the fire for Song Xi, while Song Xi was in charge of making stir-fried crab with green onion and **** and boiled prawns.
??Song Xi likes to eat spicy food, but considering that there are two elderly people in the Li family, she made crabs and river prawns light.
?? But with the nourishment of spiritual spring water, even if you don’t put so many seasonings to remove fishy smell and enhance flavor, the taste of crabs and river shrimps will not be bad.
??The Li family's lunch is really hearty, not to mention the whole grain rice, there is even a plate of dumplings.
?? It must have been packed in the state-run hotel in the morning.
??In addition, there are braised pork, braised fish, pork rib soup, egg pancakes with shallots, three fried vegetables, and crabs and river prawns cooked by Song Xi. It can be seen that the Li family attaches great importance to this lunch.
??The food was on the table, and after a while, Li Qingqing's parents, eldest brother, and second brother all came back.
?? Several people went to the well to wash their hands and faces, and then went to the dining room to eat.
?? "Xiaoxi, I was too busy before to treat you well. Li Yu and Li Lei went to the grocery store to buy this meat and fish early in the morning. You should eat more today!"
?? Sitting next to Song Xi, Mother Li said with a smile.
??Song Xi certainly knew that the supply of non-staple food stores in the city was insufficient. If you want to buy good things, you have to get up early in the morning and queue up.
?? You have to line up at five or six or even four or five o'clock in the morning, otherwise it is really difficult to buy things.
??Song Xi glanced at Li Yu and Li Lei, and immediately felt embarrassed, "Thank you auntie, thank you eldest brother and second brother, in fact, I can just eat whatever I want, auntie, don't do this again, or I won't dare to come again."
?? "Our own family wants to eat anyway."
??Getting up early and queuing up to buy groceries is a normal part of life for city dwellers.
??Mother Li didn't think there was anything wrong.
?? "Mom and Dad, I made the crabs and river prawns together with Xiaoxi, please try them quickly and see if they taste good."
??Li Qingqing picked up a big crab for Li's father and Li's mother, and a river prawn for her grandparents.
??Both Li's father and Li's mother put down their chopsticks, picked up the crab with their hands, and started eating.
??They had eaten crabs before, so they didn't have much expectation for crabs.
??But since the two children made it, it is natural to cheer and not let the children down.
?? It's just that they didn't expect their eyes to light up as soon as they entered.
