Chapter 26 The Best Tomato
In the afternoon, Father Xiao called Lingmei to visit Dr. Zhu with a gift.

The small courtyard of Zhu's family always smells of good medicine, quiet and elegant.

Zhu Hanyan was very happy to see the Xiao family coming.

"The Poria cocos you found last time is very effective after being dried. The people who received the medicine said that it is rare to see such a good thing." He invited the guests to sit down in the courtyard, "Ah, why did you bring so many things?" Come?"

When Chen Yuzhi saw Lingmei, her heart beat faster, and her son had already run into the main room, making tea and delivering water with a cheerful expression.

She couldn't help sighing, and followed her son to the courtyard, raised a smile and said, "You came here when you came, why are you sending so many things? How can Lao Zhu and I be ashamed of this?"

Ling Mei took Junxiao's teacup and thanked him, then called Aunt Chen again, and said with a gentle smile, "Last time I went back to Ma's house to cause trouble, thanks to Uncle Zhu being resourceful and helping us deal with it. These are all from our own family. The dishes, the fish my father caught outside, are worthless, just a little thought."

Lingmei's words are decent, her appearance is beautiful and her temperament is beyond dust.Apart from her background and family background, Chen Yuzhi really couldn't fault anything.She glared at her son: "If you are as considerate and sensible as Ling Mei, I don't want to burn incense in front of Bodhisattva every day."

Junxiao called out in an exaggerated tone: "Am I still considerate and ignorant?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yuzhi glanced at the basket full of fish and eggs, as well as big red tomatoes, and asked in surprise, "Hey, where did the tomatoes come from at this time?"

"Lingmei was picked on the mountain." Father Xiao immediately said, "It's so sweet. The skin is thin and juicy, no matter how you cook it, it's delicious."

"Eggs and fish—how embarrassing is that?" Yuzhi looked at her husband in embarrassment.

Zhu Hanyan waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay. Let's keep it. If you eat well, ask his family for it."

Junxiao immediately smiled brightly: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao, and thank you Lingmei."

Father Xiao was very happy with the Zhu family's unobtrusive behavior, he glanced at Lingmei, it was interesting.

After the father and daughter left, Junxiao went back to the house to study.With a sullen face, Yuzhi pulled her husband's sleeve: "Why did you take things from the Xiao family?"

"Why can't you accept it?" Zhu Hanyan glanced at his wife and advised her, "Don't think too much. This is a normal relationship between us. If you refuse to accept it, the Xiao family will feel that we look down on him."

Yuzhi hesitated to speak, and then said after a while, "I see."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Zhu Hanyan said again, "Let's let nature take its course."

Yuzhi didn't answer her husband's words, and took the vegetable basket to the kitchen.

She handles grass carp with anxiety.

After removing the scales and gills, the grass carp is cut in half with a single knife, revealing the crystal clear and light pink flesh.

"This fish is really good." Yuzhi decided to stew the fish head and fish tail in soup, and the fish body will be braised tomorrow, so it will be a good supplement for her son.

As for the shepherd's purse, it's fresh and juicy. I just bought meat at home, so let's wrap it in wontons.

"Mom, give me a tomato." Junxiao came in with a smile, scooped up two tomatoes and left.

Yuzhi hurriedly shouted: "Wash and eat before eating!"

"Got it." Jun Xiao washed it in the water tank outside, handed it to his father, and took a bite by himself, the sweet juice filled with sour aroma made him almost choke in surprise.

Damn!He stared at the tomato in his hand in disbelief: "Is this a new variety of tomato? It's too delicious, right?"

Zhu Hanyan was wiping his hands and glanced at him: "Why are you so surprised?"

Jun Xiao pointed at the tomato: "Father, you should try it quickly. I have never eaten such a delicious tomato in my life."

Zhu Hanyan rolled his eyes at his son, how could he not speak well of what Xiao Lingmei sent?
In the next second, he was slapped in the face.

"Huh!" He stared left and right at Tomato. "Just now Yue Shan said that this was picked from Lingmei Mountain?"

"Yes."

A strong aroma wafted from the room.That was Yuzhi frying fish.After the grass carp is fried, put it into the soup pot, and the soup is milky white.

"It smells good." The father and son went to the kitchen smelling the fragrance. "Yuzhi, how much oil did you use?"

Yuzhi was also shocked: "I didn't use much oil. This fish is really delicious."

Zhu Hanyan grabbed a handful of juicy shepherd's purse, and praised: "Tsk tsk, the vegetable garden of the Yueshan family has nothing to say."

Yuzhi glared at her husband: "I'm cooking fish. You go and chop up the pork and shepherd's purse. Junxiao went to the noodle shop at the entrance of the village to see if there were any wonton wrappers. I bought two catties and made wontons with shepherd's purse later. I'll have them for breakfast tomorrow." There is."

"Good." Junxiao went out on his bicycle.

Zhu Hanyan rolled up his sleeves, chopping with a kitchen knife.

For this dinner in the Zhu family, the whole family unknowingly ate a few extra mouthfuls of food.

The cabbage is crispy, tender and delicious with a little sweetness, and the fresh spring bamboo shoots fried with bacon are delicious and salty.Not to mention the fish soup, it feels like they have never had such a rich and delicious soup.Junxiao scraped up the last bit of soup in the pot, but he still couldn't get enough of it.Tomatoes are really delicious, Yuzhi is not willing to burn them, and save them to enjoy slowly.

After dinner, the father and son went for a walk in the yard with their stomachs outstretched.The belch from his mouth still carried the delicious aroma of the food.

The wonton stuffing prepared in the kitchen exudes an incomparably tempting aroma of vegetables and meat. Yuzhi is quick and wraps up a hundred of them in an hour.After thinking about it, I put half of it in a small bamboo basket, and before the sky was dark and the clouds were not falling, I personally sent it to Xiao's house to return the gift.

The Xiao family refused repeatedly, but finally accepted.

After getting so many wontons, Luo Guixiang smiled brightly: "It must have used a lot of meat. The Zhu family is honest." It would be great if Lingmei could marry into the Zhu family.But after all these years, she had already understood.Chen Yuzhi's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but she is very proud in her bones.It is estimated that he doesn't like his daughter at all.

For breakfast the next day, everyone had a bowl of delicious wontons with chives and a little lard soup.

"How do you think Chen Yuzhi's craftsmanship is so good?" Gui Xiang bit the wonton. The shepherd's purse meat stuffed with green vegetables tastes more moist, the pork is fat or thin, and some mushrooms are added to enhance the freshness. eat.The more she ate, the more hungry she became. "Yueshan, didn't Secretary Zhang give you some meat tickets? Why don't you go to the town to buy some meat today. Let's wrap some wontons too?" She paused, "Also, Ling Hui is waiting for a bicycle."

If there is meat to eat, Father Xiao naturally agrees, and he also needs to buy a bicycle.So, after breakfast, I took the money ticket and went out.

Buy meat early.Otherwise, you can only pick the leftover minced meat.Father Xiao picked vegetables twice a week and went to the vegetable market in the town to sell them. Those who were familiar with the food rushed to the vegetable market, and there was already a long queue in front of the butcher shop.

Fortunately, a new pig opened when it was his turn.According to his daughter's instructions, he bought three catties of big ribs, five catties of ribs, six catties of fat and thin pork belly and a large piece of pork suet.

The faces of the people lining up behind were all blue, staring at him with envy and resentment.Father Xiao asked for a few more large intestines when he was about to pay, so he stopped.

After buying the meat, he set off to the designated store to buy a bicycle.

The bicycle ticket sent by Secretary Zhang stated the model of the bicycle, the place where it was exchanged, and the unit that issued it. When Father Xiao went to the designated store, the salesperson saw him as an ordinary farmer, and his attitude was not very good.It wasn't until he took out the bicycle ticket that the salesperson restrained himself a bit.After all, this ticket is issued by the city government, and it is not something ordinary people can get.

"You pay first. You have to wait a few days to pick up the car after paying."

Father Xiao knew that it was difficult to buy a car, but he didn't expect to have to wait for the goods.

After paying the money and making an appointment, he prepared to return to the village with the meat.Two familiar figures flashed in front of his eyes, he took a closer look, and the alarm sounded in his heart: Jiro Aso and Akira Matsuda!
