Chapter 179 - 172 Russian Soup
He Xuewen brought back things that shocked the Hu family again, but with the foreshadowing of the noon event, they weren’t too shocked this time, and they appeared quite composed on the surface.
The Hu family had already realized that He Xuewen was definitely not an ordinary person; being able to secure such nice things amidst such scarce resources was beyond what ordinary people could manage.
What Tian Sisi didn’t know was that her value within the Hu family had risen progressively because of the things she and He Xuewen brought back, and her life was much more comfortable than before, with Zhou Yali no longer disdainfully looking down on her rural background.
With the food He Xuewen brought back, the dinner dishes became even richer. Tian Manxing put her full skill into cooking, creating a full table of dishes, even Hu Yaohan was inspired and personally made a simplified version of Russian Soup.
"Wow, it’s been ages since we had your Daddy’s Russian Soup. Today, we’re fortunate to have your haul, allowing us to enjoy such a meal."
Zhou Yali spoke to Tian Manxing in a slightly exaggerated tone, and Tian Manxing just smiled without speaking. She was in an excellent mood today; how could she not notice the change in her mother-in-law’s attitude? Although it was somewhat ironic, she was still very happy and very grateful to He Xuewen.
"Aunt Hu is too polite. We’re all family here, there’s no need to be so formal," He Xuewen said with a laughing smile.
"The key to making Russian Soup is the roux; the best oil to use would be butter, but in its absence, lard and rapeseed oil are good too, mixed in a one-to-one ratio. However, if your Mama finds it too greasy, I’ll use less oil. Remember this well, and you can cook it for Manxing next time."
