After Zhuang Shize left, Tang Qian was brushing the dishes in the kitchen, and Yaya walked in.

She said, "Sister, I want to tell you a secret. ”.

Tang Qian brushed the plate and sprinkled baking soda next to the stove.

This is her habit, baking soda can remove oil, and it is not as greasy as dish soap, it is difficult to flush and hurt hands, and the kitchenware washed with baking soda will be shiny, and it is not expensive.

She wiped the stove and said, "Okay, tell my sister quickly, what is the secret?"

Yaya walked to Tang Qian's side and watched her wipe for a while without making a sound.

Yaya struggled for two days and two nights, and among Lin Huimin, Tang Qian and Tang Weipeng, she was actually the most "afraid" of Tang Qian.

She was still a child, and she didn't know that this kind of mentality of hers was called "awe".

Tang Qian is more like the head of the family than Lin Huimin, and Tang Qian usually doesn't smile much, so she looks very cool. But Yaya has seen Tang Qian smiling at herself, her smile is very warm, and she looks very much like her sister at this time.

But more often, she is still not very close to Tang Qian, but she wants to be close, but she doesn't know what way to use.

It's like she dares to be coquettish with Lin Huimin, but she always feels that she will be coquettish with Tang Qian...... Very...... Embarrassed?

She couldn't tell, but one thing she knew was that she wanted to be someone like Tang Qian!

There was a final battle of "say it or not say it" in her little head, and finally decided to say it.

She tugged at the corner of Tang Qian's clothes, and Tang Qian turned around and smiled softly at her, which made her heart warm and wanted to say more.

"Sister...... Yaya lowered her head slightly, "I've been a little scared of my father for the past two days." ”

The more she spoke to the back, the quieter her voice became.

When Tang Qian heard Yaya say this, she breathed a sigh of relief, she held it for two days, and Yaya finally said it herself. She was afraid that her first words would scare the girl, so she kept silent.

Children are like this, just like a parent sending a child to school, she may be afraid of the head teacher at first sight, but when the head teacher asks "do you like the teacher" in front of the parents, the child will generally nod and then silently swallow his deepest fear.

She tried to soften her tone and asked, "Why are you afraid of Daddy?"

Yaya tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Dad doesn't seem to be the same as before." ”

When Tang Qian heard this, her whole body tensed, and she was still silent on her face, and continued to induce Yaya to continue: "What's the difference?"

The girl thought for a while, and said, "Daddy doesn't seem to smile as much as he used to." ”

Tang Qian's pupils dilated rapidly, but she quickly calmed down and returned to normal.

She washed her hands, touched Yaya's head, and said, "Don't be afraid, Yaya, Dad is just sick, so he doesn't smile like before, ah?"

Yaya nodded sensibly: "Well, I know, my father didn't recognize me before, but my father still recognized me when he came home, that is, ...... It is...... He didn't seem to recognize me before, but I know now that he didn't...... I don't know how to say it. ”

Tang Qian squatted down and looked at Yaya at eye level: "Yaya, my sister knows." Daddy won't fail to recognize you, huh?"

Yaya smiled happily: "I know, although Dad doesn't smile like before, but it seems to be ...... It seems like...... It seems to be smarter!"

Yaya's words confirmed Tang Qian's thoughts, and when she left the day before yesterday, she felt that her father was different.

Usually, when her dad eats, he is most accustomed to smirking at everyone, the kind of giggle that is simply happy.

However, when she saw her mother feeding her father the day before yesterday, her father no longer giggled, but seemed to be an ordinary person, and seemed to be a little worried and a little distracted.

But when she looked at it later, her dad giggled again, and her idea at that time was to observe it for a while and see it clearly.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Huimin came back from outside, carrying a chicken in his hand.

Tang Qian was curious: "Mom, where do you sell the chicken? It doesn't look light, it's more than four catties, right?"

Lin Huimin smiled and stretched out his fingers: "Five catties!"

Before Tang Qian could ask any further, she said happily: "I met a fellow villager in the vegetable market today! As soon as I heard the accent, hey! I am from Lingzhen! The villager is the same as us, he is in the catering business, and he often visits that house, even if this chicken is given! In the end, I still forced someone to stuff some money, and he didn't want more, so he took ten yuan. ”

Ten yuan to buy a five-pound chicken, then this chicken is really given away for nothing!

Tang Qian took the chicken and asked casually: "Fellow, what's your name?"

Lin Huimin said "hey" and said: "I forgot to ask, I just finished greeting the fellow and went to pick chickens, I waited for a while and didn't wait for anyone, and I didn't have the heart to wait, so I came back with the chicken." ”

Tang Qian didn't feel right at this time, and asked, "What do men and women look like?"

Her mother used to run a shop at the station to do business, and later set up a stall on Gluttonous Street, and it was not uncommon for people in the town to come and go, and she didn't dare to say her name, but she could recognize a lot of people from that face.

It's not at least "fellow", at least "it's ours, it seems to be on the same street as anyone".

Don't think so about Tang Qian, people in her hometown talk about locals, and they all have this kind of sentence.

Lin Huimin thought for a while and said, "Man, he looks quite strong." ”

Tang Qian said: "Is that face oily?"

Lin Huimin looked at Tang Qian in surprise: "Have you seen it? Yes, half a head shorter than your father!"

Tang Qian frowned and said, "One day when I came out of the hospital, I saw him setting up a barbecue stall in front of the hospital. ”

Lin Huimin didn't think much about it, smiled and said, "That's really fate! It's not easy to have a fellow countryman outside! What are you going to do with our chicken?"

Tang Qian received a notice of "recipe" just now, asking her to make "yellow stewed chicken", but there was no chicken in the materials transmitted, and she was wondering, so her mother carried the chicken into the door.

She was thinking about whether the person her mother said was the one at the entrance of the hospital, so she absentmindedly responded: "Yellow stewed chicken, if you have the ingredients, you will need the chicken." ”

Lin Huimin said: "Such a heavy chicken, all made into yellow stewed chicken? a half-braised chicken pot, and the rest of the soup should be boiled." ”

Tang Wu nodded and said, "Okay, good." ”

Boil the water, kill the chicken, remove the hair, and process the internal organs, until the pieces are chopped, Tang Wu is still thinking about this person. But her mother doesn't seem to care about it for a long time, and she doesn't want to mention it again and again, so she has to deal with the ingredients with all her heart.

Yellow stewed chicken rice is also called fragrant chicken pot, thick sauce chicken pot rice, the main ingredient is chicken thigh, with green peppers, shiitake mushrooms and other stewed products. But Tang Wu is a whole chicken here, in fact, it doesn't matter much, this chicken is not old, it looks like the meat is tender, and it is not a big problem.

Yellow stewed chicken emphasizes a stewed word, and the mastery of the heat is also very important.

In this dish, shiitake mushrooms play a role in enhancing the flavor, so shiitake mushrooms must not be missing, just now when the soup is opened and the ingredients are seen, the shiitake mushrooms are soaked first.

After this dish is fried until the chicken is colored, it also needs to be stewed to taste, so the chicken can't be cut into too small pieces, so as not to be boiled and broken in the end, Lin Huimin's knife work is very sophisticated, each piece of chicken is cut into domino size, the cut is neat, and there is almost no minced meat.

Tangwu first remove the blood from the chicken pieces to prevent the chicken from smelling fishy or peculiar. But she miraculously found that this chicken has a good fight with the free-range chickens in the farmhouses around Lingzhen, the smell is not heavy and it has a natural meat aroma, no matter how you smell it, it will not smell like those farm chickens.

Then she put the ginger, shiitake mushrooms, chili peppers, chicken pieces, water, oyster sauce, soy sauce, light soy sauce and cooking wine into a pressure cooker and simmered.

Their family likes to eat the taste of separated flesh and bones, so she has to simmer it for a longer time.

After simmering, she pours the whole pot of chicken into a large casserole, which can retain the original flavor of the yellow stewed chicken for a long time, as well as other meats, so the casserole is one of her most used kitchen utensils.

Finally, she added some fungus and broccoli, turned on the fire, and the flavor of the chicken noodles gradually dropped by half, and it could still be gently hung on the chicken, so she turned off the heat.

The chicken soup over there was also cooked, Lin Huimin removed the chicken skin, the soup cooked was very clear, not oily, and wolfberry, codonopsis, red dates, longan meat and jade bamboo, and rice were added, and the lid of the pot was opened to a burst of fragrance, and there was a faint smell of jade bamboo and codonopsis, which was particularly refreshing just by smelling it.

Tang Wu and Lin Huimin set up the table and were about to beckon her father and maid to come down for dinner when there was a knock on the door.

She was especially careful to open the door a crack and saw a middle-aged woman with a little girl.

Tang Wu opened the door a little wider and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged woman said apologetically: "I'm sorry, we live in the community next to the school, I brought my child to the school to play, but she couldn't walk just past your house, this child is greedy, I'm sorry!"

The middle-aged woman pulled the little girl and was about to leave, but the little girl refused to leave through the crack in the door, and Tang Wu couldn't close the door.

Tang Wu saw that the middle-aged woman was dressed very gently, and the little girl was also very cute, so she hesitated for a moment, then simply opened the door and let people in.

In the future, the family will have to open the door to do business, and it is just right for people to step on it in advance.

She bent down and asked the little girl with a smile, "Do you think my sister's cooking is fragrant?"

The little girl swallowed her saliva and said, "Fragrant!"

The middle-aged woman smiled awkwardly: "Really, I'm causing you trouble." ”

Tang Wu smiled and said it was okay, then turned around and went into the kitchen, took a disposable lunch box, and filled a small spoon for the child, no more, no less. This chicken is big, and after a small lunch box, the casserole is still full of half a pot.

The middle-aged woman took the lunch box and dragged the little girl away, and she had to give money, but she was blocked back by Tang Wu.

The middle-aged woman walked outside the door and was still teaching the little girl: "You, you know how to eat ......"

Tang Wu and Lin Huimin looked at it and smiled unconsciously, and Lin Huimin said, "It's like when you were a child." ”

Tang Wu smiled and shook his head: "Whatever you want." ”

Lin Huimin pretended to pinch her daughter's face, and Tang Wu ran away with a smile.

The yellow stewed chicken in the box is golden in gold, the mushrooms are full of soup and bulging, and the chicken is stewed until glutinous and soft, and the fresh fragrance comes to the nose as soon as you open the lunch box.

"The meat is juicy, the chicken is tender and juicy...... Do you have any food?"

It was the strong man on the skewers that Tang Wu met at the entrance of the hospital, and the fellow villager Lin Huimin met in the vegetable market.

The middle-aged woman who came back from bringing a box of yellow stewed chicken from Tang Wu's house just now said, "Yes, it's cooked, it's not good." ”

The strong man shook his head: "I said you brought the chicken and didn't bring the rice back?"

The middle-aged woman said: "It's not easy to get a box of chickens, and you still expect to get rice, and people are not in business...... No, I saw that her house was set up with tables and chairs in a uniform style, as if she was going to do business...... So what are we going to toss? Why don't we just buy one back when she opens?"

The strong man shook his head: "I suspect that what she does alone is not the same as what she usually sells." ”

The middle-aged woman didn't speak again: "You two are eating, I'll see if the meal is ready." ”

The little girl looked up blankly and asked, "Dad, why is that sister's cooking so delicious?"

The strong man smiled and said, "Because I heard that sister has a very powerful family recipe at home!"
