Chapter One Nineteen After Marriage
Xiaoxia covered her face and said while laughing: "You will bully me! You will bully me during the day!"
Lei Ming laughed: "Since the little lady doesn't follow me, I'm welcome to be a husband."
After marriage, Xiaoxia obeyed her mother-in-law and became a full-time housewife. Every morning, Xiaoxia got up early and started to make breakfast, and then drove Lei Ming to work. Xiaoxia always said that her husband was too hard to work, so that Lei Ming could sleep in the car for a while. After sending Lei Ming to work, the day was really a bit long for Xiaoxia, who had just become a full-time housewife. At first, she didn't know how to pass the time. After all, she was used to the life of going to work after graduation. Xiaoxia often felt bored. She hoped that Lei Ming would get off work quickly and accompany her.
But the more this happens, the slower the life will be. Every day when Lei Ming comes back, Xia will keep talking happily. Lei Ming also sees Xia’s boredom and advises her to go to the mall to buy more things. After a long time, she will adapt to this kind of life. Every time she goes to the mall, Xiaoxia always looks around and looks around. She thinks these things are too expensive. Now she has been at home for a long time, so there is no need to buy such expensive clothes. Instead, Lei Ming should buy more high-end clothes. Therefore, Lei Ming added one piece of clothes in Lei Ming’s wardrobe, but Xiaoxia rarely bought anything for herself.
Xiaoxia likes to be lively and rarely stay alone. Now she doesn't know how to spend this big time that belongs to her. At noon before marriage, the two always eat work meals together. Now Xiaoxia is at home alone and is too lazy to cook by herself. She always buys some hamburgers and other things to make do. Anyway, she feels that nothing is good to eat alone in this empty house.
When they first got married, the two often went out to eat or order some takeout, but Xiaoxia always felt that it was not like living a life. Her husband worked so hard outside and had to eat hot when he got home. Although Lei Ming was never picky about these, Xia told herself that she must learn to cook for Lei Ming. Xia, who has no experience, only learn how to cook online. Every afternoon is Xiaoxia's time to learn to be a cook. Starting from simple learning, she will immediately make it for Lei to eat. Although there are many failures, she is so excited to see Lei Ming eating every time, as if only delicious food in Lei Ming's taste buds, Xiaoxia has infinite motivation.
With these busy schedules, life is quite fast. Xiaoxia no longer feels bored. Instead, her daily life is full of arrangements. She buys ingredients in the morning, washes vegetables, and learns cooking online based on the ingredients in the afternoon. The happiest thing is to wait for her husband to enjoy the fruits of her day in the evening.
Slowly, Xiaoxia could cook some dishes. She knew that Lei Ming liked to eat meatballs, so she thought she must learn to make it. It was not difficult to search for videos online, so she started to prepare. Xiaoxia made sweet and sour meatballs. She explained this dish like this. Sugar - the couple is as sweet as honey, and vinegar - no one will do anything to make anyone jealous in the future, so she had to eat the vinegar. The meatball - the round-roof represents reunion, which has a good meaning.
After sending Lei Ming to work in the morning, Xiaoxia went to the vegetable market to buy some meat. She held the selected pictures on her mobile phone and looked at the meat-selling elder sister. When she saw Xiaoxia buying meat, she asked, "Girl, what should I buy?" Xia: "Oh, I want to buy meat for meatballs. You should choose the meat in this position." Xiaoxia showed her mobile phone to the meat-selling elder sister. The elder sister smiled and said, "Girl, don't buy it like this. I tell you, just buy front leg meat, this piece is OK, don't be too thin, it's a bit fat to taste."
After helping to choose the meat, the eldest sister chatted with Xia while mincing the meat: "Are you just learning how to cook?"
Xiaoxia: "Yes, my husband likes to eat fried meatballs. I learned videos from the Internet. I will buy some meat and try to make some."
Big sister: "Your husband is such a blessing. Nowadays, girls as old as you rarely cook."
Xiaoxia smiled and said, "You praised me, I am quite willing to cook for my husband."
After Xiaoxia bought the meat, she returned home and started to study cooking videos. There are many Chinese cooking methods online. Xia watched it and roughly wrote down the recipe. She chose two better videos to collect them, which can be used when cooking in the afternoon. This time, the sweet and sour meatballs were also a big challenge for Xiaoxia. She confidently believed that as long as she remembers the recipe and makes them carefully, the dishes she made will be delicious and beautiful.
Before she started making it, Xiaoxia had already imagined how satisfied Lei Ming was when she was eating it, but it was a place in the kitchen that was easier to eat than to make. At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoxia started to prepare and took out the prepared meat filling from the refrigerator and started to roll the meatballs. Strange? Why is the meat filling so hard to make small meatballs? The meat filling is always loose, and it is not good to roll. I have watched videos several times before, and it feels quite simple! Xia quickly turned on his phone again, searched for it and finally understood the reason. It turned out that there should be flour in it, so he added a little and added a little more. After almost an hour, he finally got the balls. Not to mention that there are so many such small pot of stuffing that can make less than fifty meatballs.
After the balls were prepared, the sweet and sour sauce was added. Xiaoxia quickly prepared according to the method she learned and took a small spoon to taste it. I wonder if the things she made were extremely delicious. Xiaoxia simply wanted to give herself 100 points. This taste was really good! My Chef Yue will soon make a delicious dish! I was a little proud of myself. Hehe, according to this attitude, it won’t take long to open a private restaurant soon.
The kitchen is really a good place to spend time. Two hours have passed, and it’s time to fry the croquettes. Xiaoxia has put on the full set of “armed equipment” she has prepared. From a distance, she looks like an alien: Xia wears an oil-proof mask, a thick apron and cooking gloves, and stands in front of the pot in a stupid manner. If someone suddenly pushes the door in, he will definitely be scared away.
Xiaoxia carefully placed the meatballs one by one in the oil pan. The full pot of meatballs fryed two pots before frying them. After hooking up the sweet and sour sauce, the dish was finally done. Xia picked up the two plates of meatballs and looked at them for a long time. It looked almost the same, but the second pot looked better and the taste would definitely be better. Xiaoxia decided to eat the second plate first. If Lei Ming felt that it was not enough, he would take out the first plate.
After preparing the meal, Xiaoxia took off her equipment, looked in the mirror to sort out her hair, and looked at the slightly proud Xiaoxia in the mirror, she couldn't help but say to herself: "Xiaoxia, you are such a good Chinese wife who can enter the kitchen and leave the hall! Give yourself a thumbs up! Great!"
In order to highlight the deliciousness of the dishes, Xiaoxia decided to start visually and change to a new tablecloth, which would make people feel more appetizing. Looking at the time, Lei Ming almost came back. At this time, Xiaoxia brought out steaming dishes from the kitchen and placed them in the center of the table. Xia looked at the table, and it was not good at all. She thought for a while, and then she put a plate of fruit, a plate of dried fruit, and a stack of pickled vegetables around her. Well, it looked much better. She put two glasses of red wine. Although it looked completely out of tune, for Xiaoxia, she really tried her best. After a busy afternoon, Xia did not feel tired at all, but instead waited for Lei to go home with a little excitement.
Xiaoxia was still facing the dishes on the table. Lei Ming had already come back. After helping to take the clothes and bags, Xiaoxia said proudly, "Honey, I've prepared the food, I can start washing my hands." Lei Ming dipped Xia's nose and said, "Why are you so happy today."
Xiaoxia pushed Lei Ming to the dining table and sat down and said, "Honey, after we got married, I haven't officially made a big meal for you yet. After careful research by your wife, I have made a special meal today. Please taste it. It is absolutely complete with color, fragrance and taste."
Lei Ming looked at Xiaoxia with a smile and said happily: "Okay, okay, then I'll try it."
Xiaoxia quickly picked up a meatball and put it on the Thunder Dish, and said expectantly: "How about it taste?"
Lei Ming took the meatballs with chopsticks and looked at them, put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully, praising them while eating: "I didn't expect the sweet and sour fried steamed buns to taste so delicious. I have to eat all this dish."
After hearing this, Xiaoxia said anxiously: "What, you try it carefully!" While saying that, she tasted one by herself. Xia tasted it carefully for a long time and said a little depressedly: "Hey, why can't you taste the meatballs?"
Seeing this, Lei Ming approached Xia's eyes and said carefully, "Wife, please tell me, what should I call this dish?"
Xiaoxia said angrily: "Hate! This is an authentic sweet and sour meatball. I just bought the meat in the morning. I made it for a whole afternoon."
Hearing Xiaoxia say this, Lei quickly changed his words and said, "Yes, it's meatballs, it's so fragrant. I just joked with you. My wife knew that I like fried meatballs and put so much meat on purpose. How could I not taste it? I tease you. This is the best fried meatballs I have ever eaten. Don't snatch them with me. I must eat this plate myself." As she said that, Lei Ming picked up several more meatballs and ate them.
Seeing Lei Ming lying seriously, Xiaoxia couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The newlywed couple is always so sweet. No matter what they do, as long as they can get tired of being together, they are happy and happy.
The two especially like the weekends. Every weekend, they can stay together 24 hours a day. Sometimes they don’t go anywhere, just simply chatting, cooking together, watching TV together, and playing games together. They enjoy the world of two people to their heart's content. I hope that time will stay at this moment. How great it would be if this would be possible forever!
Of course, more often, Lei Ming would take the initiative to think about going out with Xiaoxia. Lei Ming always made various suggestions with great enthusiasm, and often proposed to go shopping together.
