Chapter 291: A Woman Even Extra-Grade Pepper Can’t Cure

"Third Grandma, is this much okay?" Su Yuchen poured a small half cup of white wine into the small cup and asked Third Grandma who was standing aside.

"Oh, it's too little! Your third grandmother can drink a lot, this is not enough!" Father Su waved his hand happily, signaling Su Yuchen to add some more.

"Okay, okay, don't pour it." Third grandma's face was already flushed before she even drank the wine. She happily stretched out her hand to block the cup.

"Pour a glass for your mother too! There are no outsiders here today, so let your mother drink something!" Father Su saw that Third Grandma didn't want to force her, and after Su Yuchen filled the glass in front of him, he started to make fun of her again.

"Oh my, you are really crazy. You can go crazy even if your family drinks together!" Mother Su rolled her eyes at him. She looked disdainful but didn't hesitate to hand him the cup. "Chenzi, pour me half a cup!"

Su Yuchen took it without any surprise, quickly poured half a cup, then took out a large dark-colored beverage bottle on the side and winked at Zhao Xiaojing, "Let's drink this!"

"You little girl only likes to pick the best drinks. I've finished all my fruit wine in just a few days since you came back!" Su's mother laughed and scolded loudly.

"Then why don't you leave it for me? I'm tactful. Otherwise, no one would appreciate your wine that has been stored for half a year!" Su Yuchen smiled and filled two glasses. His eager look made everyone in the room laugh.

"This is my eldest aunt's exclusive craftsmanship. She made it when she came back in the summer. My third grandmother has diabetes and can't drink it, so my mother was reluctant to drink it and left it for us. Today we can drink it to our heart's content!" Su Yuchen whispered in Zhao Xiaojing's ear.

"Come on, let's drink the first one! Third Aunt, would you like to say something?" Father Su raised his glass in a lively manner.

"I don't have much to say. My elder brother and his wife are so lucky. You guys are all filial. I get to enjoy the meal here every year. Thank you. Come on." The third grandmother is old, and her hand holding the wine glass is shaking, but her toothless mouth is smiling happily.

"That's not right, Third Aunt. If you hadn't come, how would our place be popular? It's the New Year, it's the New Year, we're all together, we're thanking you for not looking down on us! Come!" Father Su shook his head and shouted, and several people clinked glasses happily.

Su Yuchen's grandfather is the eldest brother of his third grandmother, and he and Su Yuchen's grandmother are both over 80 years old. The two old people are still in good spirits, but their bodies are getting weaker and weaker. In recent years, they have taken turns to be taken care of by Su Yuchen's eldest aunt, fourth father, and Su Yuchen's family. Because the second aunt is unable to take care of her son with epilepsy, the other families tacitly skip her family and don't care.

In the past few years, the two elders were in Yangcheng, and were taken care of by Su Yuchen's family. In recent years, they went to Decheng and lived with their eldest aunt and fourth father's family.

The eldest aunt married and moved to Decheng in the south a few years ago. The house is spacious and the relationship between the couple is harmonious. The husband has no objection to providing for his parents-in-law in their old age. The fourth father has the best relationship with the eldest aunt. When the eldest aunt settled in Decheng, she saw that the youngest brother had no place to go, so she arranged a job in Decheng and asked him to go there. Later, the fourth father also settled in Decheng, so only Su Yuchen's parents and the second aunt were left in Sujia Village in Yangcheng.

Su Yuchen's second aunt had not been in contact with these relatives for a long time. As a result, Su Yuchen's family and the equally lonely third grandmother were the only ones left at the table on New Year's Day.

As for the second grandfather, he was summoned by the King of Hell early and passed away when Su Yuchen was a child.

"cheers!"

Zhao Xiaojing took a sip of the fruit wine poured by Su Yuchen, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The sweet and sour fruit flavor is perfectly blended with the unique spicy taste of the strong liquor, making the fruit flavor tingle the tip of the tongue, but the sweet fruit aroma greatly alleviates the spiciness of the wine. In addition, the fruit wine in winter is cold, and the taste is very soft at first. However, after taking a sip, the tongue tip and stomach begin to heat up, and the whole body warms up. It seems that sugar water and fruit wine are indeed different things.

After a sip of wine, everyone picked up their chopsticks at the invitation of Su's mother. In addition to a plate of dumplings in front of each person, Su's mother also made braised fish, stewed chicken with potatoes, pork with preserved vegetables, stir-fried red cabbage, stir-fried sausage and bacon with garlic sprouts, and braised beef cut by Zhao Xiaojing, all of which were large portions.

Cooking on a wood stove, Zhao Xiaojing felt the aroma was so delicious whenever she watched it, the firewood below was crackling, and Su's mother put a spoonful of lard squeezed from slaughtered pigs in the village and a spoonful of rapeseed oil squeezed from her own rapeseed on top, and then added freshly killed river fish, chickens raised at home, and Chinese vegetable moss picked from the field that morning...Except for the seasoning, almost all of it was homemade. When Su's mother was cooking and introducing the dishes, Zhao Xiaojing almost drooled. Isn't this the legendary pure natural organic vegetables? The most authentic farm dish is just like this.

Zhao Xiaojing tasted all the dishes in front of her with great interest and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction.

As expected, these dishes were delicious.

This aroma is different from the aroma of Zhao Xiaojing's usual cooking. When Zhao Xiaojing cooks, she matches the ingredients and seasonings as a whole, and maximizes the seasoning, heat, and cooking time to stimulate and blend them to the greatest extent, removing bad flavors while increasing and retaining the best flavors to create a mixed aroma.

Su's mother herself is not a very good cook, and the aroma of her cooking is more of a plain, primitive aroma that belongs to the simple ingredients themselves.

Although this kind of fragrance is simple, it is precious in the current era of large-scale greenhouse cultivation with extremely high efficiency. Zhao Xiaojing can't help but secretly look forward to what will happen if these ingredients that are fragrant in themselves are cooked using the nearly 1% system recipes that she has practiced in the system these days? What if she also follows this farmhouse cooking idea next time she cooks, optimizes all ingredients to the highest level, and even optimizes auxiliary ingredients such as onions, ginger, garlic, oil, and water to the highest level using the quality evaluation module?

"hiss!"

Just as she was thinking, she heard a gasp. Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and saw Su Yuchen staring at the bitten chicken nugget in her hand. The chicken nugget was covered with red chili oil. Maybe he dipped too much at once, and the red oil was slowly dripping down.

Zhao Xiaojing smiled secretly and just moved the dumpling soup in front of her, preparing to let Su Yuchen take a sip to relieve the spiciness. But before she could open her mouth, Su Yuchen frowned again and stuffed the remaining half of the chicken into his mouth, slurping the spicy food while reaching out to pick up the braised beef and dipped it in more red chili oil.

"Do you want to eat it?" Su Yuchen saw Zhao Xiaojing staring at him blankly, and he gasped and moved the spicy dish towards her.

Zhao Xiaojing shook her head hurriedly and moved the dumpling soup back.

It’s better to keep the dumpling soup for yourself. This is a woman who even the best pepper can’t cure. I’m afraid she can drink up the pepper essence while gasping for breath.

Zhao Xiaojing resigned herself to picking up the dumpling soup that was at the perfect temperature and took a sip.
