Transmigrate to the ’80s to Be a Stepmother - Chapter 13
“Smells good!”
An An, who was playing with Ping Ping’s fingers, immediately looked up to find the source of the aroma, and found that it was Qin Shi who was cooking, hesitated, and walked into the room with her calves.
Qin Shi heard the sound, but didn’t look back, but put the chopped tomatoes into the oil pan and started to stir fry.
The sound of tomatoes “Zi Zi la la”, oil mixed with juice splashed all over the country, and the sour smell wafted out, attracting An An to move forward.
Qin Shi took a spoon and dug a lot of salt and threw it in. While frying, she turned her head and looked back. When she found that it was An An, she smiled slightly: “Hungry?”
An An nodded, seeing that Qin Shi didn’t drive her away, she stood by the stove, tiptoed her head and looked into the pot: “What are you doing?”
Qin Shi: “Tomato and egg soup.”
“What’s that?” An An’s eyes widened slightly.
“Have you never eaten it?” Qin Shi was a little surprised. She remembered that this was a very common soup in the northern region, right?
“Grandma hasn’t done it.” An An was so curious that she kept trying to see what was in the pot.
But she was so short that she could only reach the edge of the stove with her hands up, and she couldn’t see anything at all.
An An was a little frustrated, but her whole body rose into the air, and she exclaimed, “Ah!”
Qin Shi turned her head immediately, only to see Lu Zetian holding a child in one hand, standing beside her. On the other side was Gu Qinghai who pretended to be looking for something, but kept glancing at him from the corner of his eye.
Qin Shi chuckled, ignored them and cooked her own meals.
When the tomatoes were cooked, Qin Shi poured the water from the thermos pot into it, reckoning it was almost enough, then covered the pot and waited for the water to boil.
Qin Shi dug out half a bowl of flour with a bowl and put it aside for later use, then found another small pot, cleaned it and put it on another stove, ready to fry the steamed buns.
I don’t know how long the steamed buns have been left, they are very hard, so I only need to fry them.
Of course, Qin Shi saw that there was not much oil in the oil barrel, so he didn’t pour too much. After all, oil is not cheap these days, and tickets are required.
Qin Shi’s movements are crisp and neat, very skillful, and even full of beauty. Lu Zetian and the children watched her making steamed buns and mixing the noodles into small lumps for the pot. She looked calm and orderly, without blinking an eye, and was completely attracted.
It was the first time that Gu Qinghai knew that cooking could be so good-looking, as if there was an inexplicable attraction that attracted him to continue looking down.
When Qin Shi finished frying the steamed buns, poured the oil into another bowl and buckled it up, and then sautéed chopped green onions and fried vegetables again, Gu Qinghai suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the sound of “嗤啦”.
He looked at Pingping and An’an who hugged Lu Zetian’s neck and looked at Lu Zetian who couldn’t take his eyes off. He took two steps back as if fleeing, not daring to look any further.
Qin Shi has sorcery! I am obviously the most impatient about things in the kitchen, but I was attracted by her for so long!
poisonous!
Gu Qinghai hurriedly went to the side to find the bowls and chopsticks, he didn’t dare to look at the stove, he couldn’t figure out why.
If Qin Shi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud. There must be a reason for the popularity of so many gourmet cooking anchors in later generations. There is no magic, but there is a bit of magic that makes people feel healing and enjoyable.
In less than 20 minutes, Qin Shi prepared the rice and mixed a lot of soup, so she simply put the pot on the dining table.
Lu Zetian watched her walking steadily with the big iron pot, silently put down the two children in her arms, and asked them to wash their hands and eat.
Originally, he said he would do it, but Qin Shi did it himself.
Gu Qinghai stared blankly at the crazily steaming soup on the table, thinking that Aunt Mo would be overwhelmed by the heat even if she carried it in a pot, so she was not afraid of being scalded, so she just served the pot directly?
Gu Qinghai pursed his lips, and reached out to touch the temperature of the pot, but was stopped by Qin Shi: “Don’t touch it, it’s very hot, you should wash your hands quickly, and get ready to eat.”
Gu Qinghai looked at her: “Aren’t you afraid of being hot?” After saying that, he regretted it.
He said it as if he cared about her.
Qin Shi: “The handle is not hot.”
Gu Qinghai: “…”
Forget about it.
Gu Qinghai was a little ashamed and annoyed, he stopped talking to Qin Shi, turned around and went to wash his hands, his footsteps were a little hurried.
Qin Shi looked at his back and smiled slightly. The boss is very smart, but his personality seems a bit awkward.
After Lu Zetian and the children washed their hands and put them on the table, looking at the thick soup in the bowl, he immediately picked up the spoon.
“Red, yellow, green, white,” An An pointed at the bowl with a spoon, her smiling eyes curved: “Colorful! What a beautiful soup!”
Lu Zetian: “Well, eat quickly.”
An An scooped up a spoonful and blew carefully before putting it in her mouth.
After taking a sip, An An immediately widened her eyes: “Drink it well!”
Pingping also nodded: “It’s delicious!”
Gu Qinghai didn’t speak, but he kept drinking without raising his head.
The soup is very light, just right salty with a hint of sour, that is the taste of tomatoes.
The noodles are very chewy, and the vegetables are soft and not rotten.
Take another sip of the soup, the unformed noodles turned into finely divided noodles, mixed with egg shreds, enter the mouth together, soft and hard and slippery, with a very rich taste.
Lu Zetian picked up the bowl and took a big sip, then let out a sigh of satisfaction, and sighed, “This is good.”
After drinking it, the whole body is warm and comfortable.
Add another piece of fried golden and crispy mantou slices, and eat it together with refreshing fried vegetables, which is delicious.
Lu Zetian drank two large bowls of soup in a row, and stopped after eating half a plate of fried buns. He looked at the children who ate better than usual, and once again sighed in his heart that Qin Shi’s cooking skills are really good.
Fried bun slices and stir-fried vegetables are ordinary meals that cannot be more ordinary, but she can cook them so deliciously.
“Hic~” Pingping burped delicately.
An An looked at the last slice of fried bun on the plate, wanted to pick it up but couldn’t eat it anymore, with “discomfort” written all over her face.
Gu Qinghai took a look, and decisively snatched away the slice of fried bun, dipped in the vegetable juice of the stir-fried vegetables, and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.
An An watched Gu Qinghai finish eating, then turned her head and asked Qin Shi expectantly: “Can we do this again tomorrow?”
Qin Shi looked at her with a smile: “Tomorrow I’ll make something more delicious for you.”
The eyes of the three children lit up instantly, looking at Qin Shi full of expectations.
“What is it?” An An excitedly scratched the table, “Is it better than today’s?”
“You have also tasted my crafts, everything is delicious,” Qin Shi looked at them with a smile, and said, “I will clean up the room tomorrow afternoon, if you help me, I can make sweet dishes tonight.” You will be rewarded with candied sweet potatoes and apples.”
Curious baby An An: “What is that?”
Ping Ping, who likes sweetness: “Sweet?”
Gu Qinghai who sees through everything: “You want to order us to work.”
“I’m not instigating, but I’m asking you for help.” Qin Shi smiled: “There are many people and strength is great. If you help me, I will finish cleaning earlier. In order to thank you for your help, I will just make delicious food for you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t help, I can clean up slowly by myself, but it may take too long, so I can only eat a little at night.”
Gu Qinghai snorted, “You are a temptation and a threat!”
Qin Shi looked at him with a smile, and deliberately asked: “Then are you going to be fooled?”
“You don’t want to order…”
Before Gu Qinghai finished speaking, the two younger ones raised their little hands and started yelling.
“Be fooled!”
“I want to eat sweet sweet potatoes and apples!”
Gu Qinghai looked at the two little ones, and cursed in his heart: Two little idiots! Being played around in circles and still so excited!
Qin Shi: “Okay, let’s work hard together tomorrow.”
“Okay!” An An waved her little hand, impatiently.
Pingping also pursed his lips and smiled.
Looking at An An, who is always excited and happy about anything, and An An, who is obviously shy and quiet, with a restrained personality, Qin Shi thought to herself that there is a big difference between the twins.
“Xiao Hai, take your younger siblings to play.” Qin Shi let the three cubs go, and helped Lu Zetian clean up the dishes.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Qinghai, who was about to “fight” with Qin Shi, saw that Qin Shi stopped talking, and suddenly choked up.
He snorted, wiped Pingping and An’an’s lips, and dragged them out the door.
Seeing him leaving, Qin Shi smiled.
Lu Zetian glanced at Qin Shi, “You like teasing him so much?”
“Hmm~” Qin Shi put a stack of bowls into the sink, thinking that children are just for playing?
Lu Zetian chuckled, and while washing the dishes, he gave Qin Shi a detailed introduction to the three children.
The three of them were orphans of soldiers, no one took care of Gu Qinghai, Lu Zetian took the initiative to take over, and the twins were secretly placed at the door of his house.
In the end, it was found out who it was, but they couldn’t be sent back.
They are the posthumous sons of a former monitor of Lu Zetian. The monitor’s wife gave birth to a child and was going to return to his hometown to hand over the child to his family.
But there was a mudslide on the mountain in the squad leader’s hometown, and more than half of the village was killed or injured, and his parents were on the list of victims.
The monitor’s wife was still young, not yet thirty, she didn’t want to and couldn’t live alone with the two children, so she secretly left the children at the door of Lu Zetian’s house.
The troops behind found her, and she gave Lu Zetian all the child’s subsidy and the squad leader’s pension, and she would rather die than have a child.
Lu Zetian was already married at this time, of course Mo Ling couldn’t agree, and they didn’t lack money, so why raise their children? Let the troops find someone else’s home.
The army found someone else, but within a few days after taking him back, he found out that his wife was also pregnant, and now they returned the child.
Lu Zetian just returned from his mission. Seeing that the two children were rejected by no one, he softened his heart and took them back.
Mo Ling had a big fight with him and divorced him not long after.
Hearing this, Qin Shi took a deep look at Lu Zetian, thinking that if it was her, she would also divorce.
As soon as you get married, you go on a mission, come back half a year later, and you are still too busy to go home, and after a while, you bring back a baby who is only two months old. Who can bear this?
Lu Zetian inexplicably understood Qin Shi’s eyes, coughed and explained: “You can’t just leave the child alone, can you?”
Qin Shi wanted to roll her eyes, “How is that possible? The army won’t starve them, and if no one in the family home wants to, then find someone from a nearby county. I don’t believe I can’t find a suitable good family.”
Lu Zetian also knew it, but he was by accident at the time, and adopted Pingping and An’an for some reason.
Thinking about it now, he didn’t know why he was so impulsive at the time, which was very strange.
