As the old saying goes, the daughter is the mother's intimate little padded jacket, even if she is married, it will make the mother want to see how her daughter is doing from time to time, and I have to say that the mother is great.

近日，一則關於“親媽來廣東看女兒，婆婆做了五個菜，成本不到一百塊”的帖子在網路上引起了熱議。不少網友紛紛留言，認為這樣的招待過於寒酸，究竟是怎樣的飯菜，5道菜還會讓網友說寒酸，我們一起來瞭解一下。

Braised beef ribs

The dish is bright red in color, and the beef ribs have been stewed for a long time until the meat becomes crispy and can be deboned with a light bite. The braised sauce wraps the beef ribs tightly, and every bite is filled with the rich flavor of the sauce and the flavor of the beef, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. When cooking this dish, my mother-in-law must have put a lot of thought into making sure that the beef ribs can fully absorb the flavor of the sauce and achieve the best taste.

Salt-baked chicken pot

Cantonese people have a unique view on the cooking of chicken, and salt-baked chicken is one of them. The mother-in-law chooses moderately fat and lean chicken, which is salted and baked, so that the skin of the chicken is golden and crispy, and the meat inside is tender and juicy. The unique flavor of the salt-baked chicken makes the texture of the chicken richer, and the salty aroma has a hint of sweetness, which makes people want to stop.

Boiled meat slices

This dish may seem simple, but it's actually elegant. The mother-in-law chose pork tenderloin, which was thinly sliced and cooked with various spices. The slices of meat are tumbled in the hot broth, absorbing the essence of the broth and becoming tender and delicious. The soup is made more delicious by the addition of sliced meat. The flavor of this dish is mellow, spicy but not dry, which is very suitable for the taste of Cantonese people.

Egg soup with cabbage and pork slices

This soup may seem unpretentious, but it is rich in nutrients and deliciousness. The sweetness of the cabbage flower and the flavor of the sliced meat, coupled with the smoothness of the eggs, make the whole soup rich in taste. When cooking, my mother-in-law must have mastered the heat just right, so that the soup is neither too greasy nor too light, and every bite makes people feel the warmth of home.

Garlic lettuce

The lettuce is crisp and tender, and the rich flavor of garlic complements each other to form a delicious wonton that is both appetizing and greasy. When cooking this dish, my mother-in-law deliberately chose fresh lettuce and high-quality garlic cloves, which made the whole dish delicious and nutritious. This dish not only conforms to the light eating habits of Cantonese people, but also reflects the careful care of her mother-in-law.

Each dish on this table embodies the mother-in-law's heart and cooking skills, although the cost is not high, it does not mean that they lack deliciousness and delicacy. As for the "really shabby" mentioned by netizens, it is not because the cooking is not good, but because the amount of food in the south is very small, so the whole table of dinner is also insisted on having enough to eat. In the matter of entertaining in-laws, what matters is not the cost of the dish, but the heart and attitude. The mother-in-law used these five dishes to express her respect and welcome to her in-laws, which was enough.

Overall, the fact that these five dishes are not expensive does not mean that they lack delicacy and sophistication. Every dish cooked by my mother-in-law is a kind of respect and welcome to her in-laws. We should respect the fruits of each person's labor, rather than judging the quality of the dish based solely on its cost.
