Chapter 59: Chicken thighs in sauce
Yaya finally went in for lunch, the spicy shrimp was too fragrant, the taste was too hooking, and when she reacted, she had already picked up two bowls of porridge, and there were six or seven more shrimp heads on the side of the bowl.
The shrimp is fresh and spicy, she is fine, and she can pick up a few large mouthfuls of porridge if she eats a small piece.
Lin Huimin said: "We have to find a school for Yaya." β
Tang Qian has also thought about this problem for a long time, and said: "There are still more than ten days to leave school, and I will look for it when my father is discharged from the hospital." β
Yaya whispered, "Thank you, Mom, thank you, sister." β
Although Lin Huimin and Tang Qian repeatedly asked Yaya not to be so polite, Yaya always felt strange in her heart, she thought that her arrival had brought a lot of trouble to everyone.
After lunch, Tang Qian packed up the lunch box and pulled Yaya to prepare to go back.
Yaya looked at Tang Weipeng, and it was originally a very smooth sentence, but now it suddenly became swallowed and vomited.
She looked at her father, who was still skinny, with new and old scars on his face, some of which she had since she "picked up" him and some of which had been bullied by the children of her village.
Later, she could tell the origin of those scars one by one, and the one in her ear was cut by the second egg flying tile at the head of the village, and the blood flowed a lot but it was soon healed, but it left a scar. Erdan's mother also said that when her father went to steal other people's simmered sweet potatoes to eat, he ate ginger as a sweet potato and left a scar.
Nonsense, Dad will divide sweet potatoes and ginger!
The white on the right side of his face was burned when Dad went to pick up the sweet potatoes that fell from others and simmered them, and when he came to grab them.
There was a missing corner of the middle of the eyebrow in my father's left eye, which was knocked against a brick, and the bleeding was stopped by Dr. Tu, and stitches were also given at that time, and the eyebrow never grew back.
Speaking of which, with the same stitches, my father also kowtowed his forehead in the first half of the month, and there was no scar there......
Tang Qian saw Yaya looking at her father in a daze, so she gently put her shoulder: "Yaya, do you want to talk to your father for a while?"
The girl suddenly had that kind of fear in her heart again, and quickly shook her head, wanting to say it but not daring to say it, she shrank and said: "Dad...... I'll go back first. β
Tang Weipeng looked at her ignorantly as usual, and nodded without speaking.
After Yaya finished speaking, she turned around stiffly and walked towards the door, Tang Qian followed behind with a lunch box, and when she arrived at the door, she suddenly stiffened and turned to look at Tang Weipeng.
Tang Weipeng still didn't speak, Lin Huimin was wiping his hands, he looked at Lin Huimin and smirked.
Tang Qian loosened her shoulders again, touched her head, and followed the girl who was standing by the elevator and waiting.
I still didn't see yesterday's kebab stand at the entrance of the hospital, which made Tang Qian even more suspicious of the strong man.
However, at the moment, she couldn't see anyone, and she couldn't ask him for anything, so she had to wait for the car to go home.
Tang Wu tried to talk to Yaya more on the way home, hoping to know more Yaya's thoughts.
Yaya is a half-grown child, and Tang Wu feels that what Yaya has experienced is no less suffering than herself.
Although she wanted to know how the child had come over the years, she was reluctant to reveal Yaya's scars, after all, no one wanted to talk about this kind of past.
The car drove out for a stop, and Tang Wu started a topic first: "Yaya, do you want to start from preschool or first grade?"
Yaya is eight years old, and according to the fact that she can enter preschool at the age of seven, she should start in the first grade.
In Tang Wu's previous life, many of the client's children were in the first grade at the age of seven, and they did not study in preschool.
Yaya tilted her head, her hair looked even more yellow in the sun, but her eyes refracted a layer of light, and said, "I want to go to the second grade! I used to go to the village school to listen to classes, and a female teacher surnamed Li gave me a complete set of first-grade textbooks!"
Tang Wu was a little surprised on the one hand, but also relieved on the other hand, Yaya was a very good idea, which made Tang Wu happy and a little painful - this child is so sensible, probably no one usually considers her feelings.
She knew that Yaya was not happy.
Tang Wu said: "Okay, my sister will try to help you find it!"
The girl laughed happily, and as soon as her mouth opened and she quickly reached out to cover itβthe tooth next to her left front tooth had loosened itself, and it had just grown a little bit, and now there was still a hole missing, and she reached out to cover it every time she laughed.
Tang Wu was amused by the little girl and said, "Sister, go back and make you chicken legs with sauce, okay?"
Yaya is dumbfounded, the chicken leg in sauce, it looks delicious, but it's not easy to tear!
But she nodded considerately and said, "Good!"
The method of sauce chicken thighs is different in various places, some are air-dried, some are boiled, and some are pickled, and the marinated ones are suitable for people with heavy tastes, and the soup wuwu finally chose the marinated ones.
She opened the "recipe" and bought fresh and tender chicken thighs, as well as some cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, dried chilies, star anise, bay leaves, and angelica.
As long as you make meat, onions, ginger and garlic are indispensable seasonings to remove the smell and enhance the flavor.
To make lo-mei, you can't do without the colored dark soy sauce and the salty braised sauce.
In order to make the marinade taste better and taste more unique, Tang Wu thought about it and bought some thirteen spices.
The so-called "thirteen incense" refers to 13 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines with their own distinctive fragrances, including aster, sand kernel, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, Sichuan pepper, large ingredients, cumin, woody, angelica, sannai, good ginger, dried ginger, etc.
Although it is called "Thirteen", there are far more ingredients in it than thirteen, which is why some of the ingredients in it are duplicated with the materials Tang Wu bought, and she still wants to buy them.
As soon as the ingredients are purchased, they are automatically transferred to the pot closest to her.
As soon as Tang Wu lifted the lid, she could see the thin-skinned and white-fleshed chicken stick legs, she cut several pieces diagonally on each chicken leg, washed the chicken legs, passed them in boiling water, and then washed away the black blood clots with cold water, so as to make the chicken firmer.
Originally, in order to better absorb the taste, it was best to marinate it in the refrigerator for one night, but Tang Wulin wanted to do it, and she thought about marinating it for an hour, anyway, Yaya and herself are not hungry now.
She tossed the marinade, put the chicken thighs in and covered them.
Yaya went upstairs to watch TV, and she called Zhuang Shize.
As soon as the phone rang, it was answered, and Tang Wu said, "I'm making chicken thighs with sauce here, it's a bit much, do you want to come over and eat?"
Zhuang Shize: "Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour." β
Zhuang Shize put down the phone and went out directly, and his aunt chased him out: "Xiao Ze, your favorite Buddha jumping over the wall was soon brought back from Hanjiangxue, don't you eat it?"
Zhuang Shize said proudly: "It's definitely not as delicious as the chicken thighs in sauce made of coriander, so I'll eat the chicken thighs." β
His aunt smiled and shook her head, "Gotcha!
Dead boy, you have the ability to tell me what you want to tell the little girl!
As soon as Tang Wu put down the phone, the phone rang again, and when he picked it up, it was Ning Fei: "Xiaowu, are you at home?" β
In this small three-story building, Mr. Lu made a fire escape behind the building for safety reasons. Although it sounds very professional, it is actually a staircase that only allows one person to pass through guΓ², and it is not wide enough, and there are neighbors in the back, which will be noisy.
There are doors on each floor to walk out of the stairs, the doors are particularly professional, there is an anti-theft system, and the general thieves really dare not come.
Tang Wu walked over, stretched out his hand and pressed his fingerprints to open the door, and Ning Fei, who had wrapped himself so that he only showed his eyes, flashed in, patting his chest and telling Tang Wu the wonderful story of how he had just skimmed the paparazzi.
Tang Wu saw that she didn't even bring an assistant, poured her a glass of water, and she tilted her head and poured it down: "Comfortable!"
Tang Wu asked, "You...... Looking for me?"
Ning Fei didn't procrastinate, took out a brown paper bag, and said: "There is something to do! Our sisters have something to ask you for help, Qini can't get away from the set, why do you want to be abroad, so she sent me as a representative...... Qini said she messaged you. β
Tang Wu called up the message and looked at it, and sure enough, she saw Qiu Qini sending her a message.
She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was on the phone just now, I didn't pay attention." β
Ning Fei waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter, and then pulled out a chair with blue faces and white legs and sat down: "I didn't know your table and chair before!
Tang Wu was praised and a little embarrassed: "This wood-colored table and chair I bought, I bought it myself." β
Ning Fei gave her a thumbs up: "Cow!"
She patted the bag on the table: "That's the case, we have tasted your cooking skills, and Qini has also experienced the power of your food, so let's discuss giving you a little hard money, and ......" She rolled her eyes, "How about we cooperate?"
Ning Fei's eyes are not big, they are narrow peach blossom eyes, but she is better than having a god in her eyes, her temperament is also very good and unique, and her personality is also bold, which always makes people like her for no reason.
Tang Wu likes the refreshing person the most, and she doesn't twist the things she gives for hard work, so she takes the card and says, "What kind of cooperation method?"
Ning Fei smiled and patted Tang Wu's shoulder: "Sister, relax, we don't have those rules, we just want to sign an agreement with you to cook for us - we don't have to do it every day, and our time may not allow." As soon as the three of us notify you, you can do it, and the agreement is to ensure that you will arrive as soon as we call you, unless you are in a hurry, and when we call you, you can only do it for us to eat, and you are free at other times. In this way, we can eat meat and eat well, and we don't have to worry about getting fat, let's give you 10,000 yuan per month each, how about it?"
This also sounds very fair, and the content of the agreement is similar to Ning Fei's.
This price also made Tang Wu's heart move, she was short of money now.
Tang Wu read the agreement three times and signed it happily.
The smell of marinade in the kitchen went up, Ning Fei couldn't help but ask what she was doing after signing with Tang Wu, saying that it was chicken leg sauce, and immediately swallowed saliva, but she had to rush back to film the night scene, so she had to snort a few times fiercely and reluctantly left.
After Ning Fei left, she took the card to the ATM machine in the school to check, obediently, 20,000 yuan!
There is no need for her to guess, Qiu Qini must have given the most here.
Qiu Qini had only eaten for a week, and only once a night, according to her, she was free at night, but now she must be busy like a spinning top.
Tang Qian thought, the three of them gave so much money, of course, not only because they could afford her cooking skills, eighty percent of them went for the point of "not getting fat when they eat", and the remaining two percent were for meat. They haven't eaten meat for so many years, and to be honest, the craving for meat may not be particularly high, but it is certainly better to eat it than not to eat it.
The money is to stabilize her, hoping that she will be there as soon as they need it.
When the soup came, he poured the chicken thighs with boiling hot oil, and then put them down in the marinade and simmered.
As soon as the pot boiled and the door opened, Tang Qian looked at the time, probably Zhuang Shize came, but there was a handsome uncle in a suit and leather shoes standing outside the door, and he looked a little familiar.
I don't know if Uncle Shuai is pretending to be mature, anyway, he has a beard, and he has Wu Xiubo's mature and calm aura that makes people lose their minds unconsciously.
But he is much colder than Wu Xiubo.
"May I ask who you are?"
As soon as Tang Qian hesitated to speak, two people popped out behind Uncle Shuai, and then Tang Qian's thighs sank - no wonder she felt that Uncle Shuai was familiar!
The little ball of meat on her thigh raised her head and said in a milky voice, "Sister Coriander!"
Yuan Keying made a β‘β‘ gesture and fired a shot at Tang Qian: "Bah!
Uncle Shuai: "......" He felt the deep gap between him and his daughter.
Tang Qian: "......" Sure enough, human beings can't stop the brain hole of the second middle school girl!
Yuan Shufan couldn't figure out how he could sit at the table and eat chicken legs in the end.
He was just pestered by his daughter and little niece, and his father said that he should visit the neighbors at school and take care of it. He had planned to send them over, but he brought some money with him, and was going to put them down and leave.
Vice Principal Li didn't wait for the start of the school year, and united with the director and cashier of the school, sorted out a so-called document and some of the teachers' signatures and handed them to the city's education bureau, and there were also people in the city who he had bribed.
Because of Tang Qian's reminder before, Old Principal Yuan found a friend to poke Vice Principal Li's first.
Vice President Li has a bad character, and there was a case of not paying for the young lady in the past. As soon as he handed over the materials, President Yuan's friends and the people Yuan Shufan was looking for also acted at the same time, and now Vice President Li has been suspended, and his family is also jumping with chickens and dogs.
Yuan Shufan just spoke straightforwardly, but Yuan Keying and Xiao Routuan added various sound effects next to them, as well as the gossip they listened to.
Yuan Keying said: "Now Granny Li is telling people everywhere that her daughter-in-law's natal life is a broom star, which will bring bad luck to the family, and Vice Principal Li's wife's family still comes to the school to make trouble in their dormitory. β
The little meat ball was next to the crowd and shouted, "Come out, come out, come out!"
Tang Qian was so amused by these two cousins that she couldn't stop being amused.
After saying this, Zhuang Shize arrived, and the sauce chicken thighs in the pot were also ready.
Tang Qian beckoned everyone to chat while eating, and Yuan Shufan sat down in a daze.
In fact, as soon as the lid of the soup was lifted, he was attracted by the salty and fresh aroma of meat, a little fluttering and not knowing where he was, and the picture of eating meat jumped out of his mind, and when he reacted, there was already a burnt brown chicken leg in his bowl, and there was a slowly flowing marinade on it, his eyes were straight, and the Adam's apple unconsciously slid up and down.
The chicken is smooth and tender, the brine is salty and fragrant, and the chicken skin is a little crispy at first when it is bitten, and there is no chicken fat at all, which makes Yuan Shufan, who originally didn't like to eat chicken skin, eat the chicken skin completely.
The meat is thin but not firewood, a light bite, the meat is separated from the bone, chewing tender but not scattered, the marinade is inhaled into it, and then seeps between the teeth, soaking the tip of the tongue, so that the meat is chewed more and more flavorful, the more you chew the original meat aroma is more intense, and then a mellow sesame fragrance rises.
Yuan Shufan felt that he took a deep breath while eating, and the pores of his whole body opened after eating.
Yaya, Xiao Roudough and Yuan Keying were even more full of marinade, and they were still gnawing on it.
Zhuang Shize was still Sven at first, but later Sven was eaten by him with marinated chicken.
In the end, it wasn't until he finished eating that Yuan Shufan reacted to the purpose of his coming, he took out the envelope and said: "If you hadn't reminded me of my father's affairs, he wouldn't want to believe that people's hearts are sinister, it's a little meaning." β
Visually inspect the thickness of the envelope, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty thousand, Tang Qian couldn't cry or laugh, why did she come to send her money today?
However, Principal Yuan probably knew about her father's admission to the hospital, and Tang Qian quickly thought of this.
But she couldn't ask for the money, so she pushed it back.
Tang Qian said: "Uncle Yuan, I'm not polite, I really can't ask for it." β
Yuan Shufan was impressed by this beautiful little girl, knew that she was serious, and did not force it.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Then if you need help in the future, just ask, I will do my best to help." β
Tang Qian smiled and said, "I really have something to ask." She touched Yaya's head, "This is my sister, adopted by our family, she is eight years old, I want Jiangcheng to find her a school and let her go to school." β
As soon as her words fell, Yuan Shufan smiled: "Then you have found the right person!"
The little meat ball also became excited: "I'm in the first grade of school! Let Sister Yaya go to school with me! Sister Yaya is okay?"
Yaya also likes the little meat ball, and nods vigorously with a smile.
Yuan Keying said to her father angrily: "Dad! You must help Sister Qian with her help! With your status in the rivers and lakes, you must do this beautifully!"
This girl!
Yuan Shufan glanced at his crazy daughter, who was neither big nor young, and the guy shrank his neck and drank tea.
Tang Qian was a little confused, so Yuan Shufan said, "What do you think of Yi Keshi YΓ n Primary School?"
"Yike" is a famous school in Jiangcheng, and you have to apply in advance for admission, and then you have to take an exam, and then you have to interview students and their parents separately. The school adopts the high-quality education of a first-class foreign university, and it is a private college for the children of the upper class.
This school doesn't mean that you can get into it if you have money, it has to be related.
Tang Qian sighed softly: "A good school with one top, but it's ......"
Yuan Keying attached to Tang Qian's ear and said, "Don't worry, I'll let my dad charge according to the normal tuition, it's not expensive." Only students who fail to pass the exam have to pay a sponsorship fee of 150,000 yuan a semester, and the tuition fee of ordinary public schools is the same as that of ordinary public schools. My dad just said it, he's one of the kings of the mountain!"
Yuan Shufan coughed lightly: "I am one of the school directors of Yike. β
Tang Qian suddenly looked in awe of Yuan Keying, the second middle school girl, and her waist couldn't help but straighten a little.
Zhuang Shize said beside him at this time: "I have already told my uncle about the hukou, and in a month, you can move the hukou over when the materials are ready." β
Tang Qian was a little moved in her heart, but she didn't expect him to think so much for her silently!
After Zhuang Shize finished speaking, he pretended to look at Yuan Shufan inadvertently. He has never been accustomed to asking Tang Qian for credit, but he doesn't know why, as soon as he heard that Yuan Shufan was Yike's school director and could arrange admission for Yaya, he suddenly said it.
He was a little defensive against Yuan Shufan for no reason in his heart - yes, he was many years older than Tang Qian, but ...... Don't be careful!
He can't wait to kill all the better members of the opposite sex around Tang Qian!
Yaya's matter was solved so smoothly, even Tang Qian himself felt incredible.
Before Yuan Shufan left, he gave Tang Qian a slip of approval, and then gave him a phone number: "On the day of school, you take this slip to the principal, you don't need to take the exam and interview, he will take Yaya to get the book and school uniform, and arrange the class." β
Yaya bowed to Yuan Shufan many times in a row, and only straightened up until his car disappeared into the corner of the street, with tears on her face.
She didn't know about this school, but her sister told her that this school was among the top five in the country, and she could get into it, and she would have a bright future in the future.
She said: "Sister, I will make a lot of money in the future, so you don't have to work hard all day to cook for others." β
Tang Qian smiled loudly: "Silly girl, sister is not hard." β
The next day, Tang Qian and Yaya got up early in the morning, and today is the day to pick up Tang Weipeng and be discharged from the hospital.
Tang Qian and Yaya received a call from Lin Huimin as soon as they arrived halfway.
Lin Huimin's voice on the other end of the phone changed in a hurry: "Your dad is gone!"
