Chapter Eighty-Four: Closed for a Day
The next morning, He Chuan woke up from his bed.
Looking at the ceiling for ten minutes, thousands of thoughts turned in his mind, and finally He Chuan made a decision.
Closed for one day.
After taking out his mobile phone and sending a text message to Peng Jiayi, informing her that she didn't have to send Xiao Tang over today, He Chuan got up from the bed.
After washing, He Chuan dressed neatly and began to go downstairs.
Probably because of the recent encouragement of the stall economy, the number of small traders downstairs seems to be more than before.
As soon as I got out of the gate of the community, I turned a corner and saw a couple pushing a small three-wheeler to sell crayfish.
A group of people gathered around the small three wheels to buy lobsters, and the woman was busy weighing the lobster, and at the same time was busy removing the head of the lobster and removing the shrimp line.
"Boss, how much is a pound of lobster. He Chuan walked over and glanced into the foam box.
There are several foam boxes on the small tricycle, each of which is full of lobsters, and the lobsters are still moving, trying to escape from the foam boxes.
"The little fourteen, the big sixteen. ”
As the woman returned, she threw back the lobster that was about to crawl out of the box.
I saw her reach out and rummage through the foam box, pick out a few dead lobsters, and throw them into the trash.
"I'll pick a few. He Chuan looked at it for a while and spoke.
A few steps further on, there is also a fresh food shop in the river, where crayfish are also sold.
However, the crayfish over there are not cheap, and the last time He Chuan went to ask, the boss quoted eighteen and twenty yuan a catty.
The woman found a basket of garbage cans, put a plastic bag on it, and handed it to He Chuan.
He Chuan took a pair of chopsticks from the foam box and began to pick out the crayfish that looked alive.
After filling most of the basket, He Chuan handed the basket to the proprietress, who weighed it and said, "Three catties, do you want to go to the head?"
"Just go to the shrimp line. He Chuan took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code, and paid the bill, "I'll go buy some food, and I'll come back and get it later." ”
He shook the transfer page in front of his boss's eyes and said.
"All right!" said the proprietress as she set the prawns aside, looked up, and sat down on her stool and began to process the prawn line.
He Chuan walked along this street and continued to buy vegetables.
I bought a few vegetables, two pickled vegetables, and some seasonings, and when I went home, I took the lobster that the proprietress had handled.
The reason why he suddenly became so diligent was not because He Chuan's brain was hot and he wanted to cook by himself.
Instead, his father slaughtered two chickens at home, washed and disposed of them, and sent them by courier, instructing He Chuan to make them for Ying Fei to eat.
Two chickens......
Although He Chuan can cook, he usually cooks pork, beef and mutton.
Make a chicken ...... It was a first for him.
After searching on the Internet and ruling out some difficult and easy overturns, He Chuan finally decided to be safe and stew a chicken soup.
But it wasn't enough to just make chicken, He Chuan went downstairs to buy some other dishes, and simply made them hearty.
After returning home, the first thing He Chuan did was to send a message to Ying Fei first, asking if she was at home.
Ying Fei quickly replied, in.
"Then don't cook at noon, just come over and eat. He Chuan said.
Ying Fei sent a "surprised" expression, and only replied after a while: "Okay." ”
After putting down the phone, He Chuan began to process the ingredients.
The crayfish has been processed, the weather is too hot, and it is easy to deteriorate if it is left for a long time, so He Chuan began to process the crayfish first.
I found a tutorial on the Internet, and after reading it, He Chuan began to take action.
Clean the crayfish first, heat oil in a pan, pour the crayfish into it, stir-fry until red, and then put it out.
After washing the pot, start pouring oil into the pan again, then pour the cut cucumber into it and stir-fry it several times quickly.
Add the previously fried crayfish, pour in the seasoning, stir-fry a few times, then add beer, add water to cover the lobster, cover and start simmering.
After processing the lobster, He Chuan took out the chicken that he put in the refrigerator yesterday.
Looking at the local chicken lying quietly on the board, He Chuan fell into silence.
This chicken ...... What should I do?
He Chuan hesitated for a long time, picked up the kitchen knife, and prepared to separate the chicken from the middle first.
A knife down......
The kitchen knife got stuck in the chicken bone.
He Chuan pulled out the kitchen knife, looked at the severed bone in front of the chicken breast, and fell silent.
When He Chuan was cooking before, he simply handled pork and vegetables, and the knife he bought was relatively thin.
Obviously, with such a thin knife, there is no way to handle a whole chicken.
Would you like to go downstairs and buy a thicker knife?
He Chuan thought about it, and finally dispelled this idea, one, two, three......
There was a "bang" sound on the balcony, and the movement was almost like a murder scene.
It was easy to cut the chicken, and He Chuan began to deal with the internal organs.
The chicken bones were relatively thin and were chopped into pieces by He Chuan, who used a knife to carefully pick out these broken bones and throw them into the trash.
La Jiao watched He Chuan's actions and climbed onto the trash can to take a look.
It sniffled, quickly turned disgusted, and threw away the trash can.
Then it jumped onto the table on the balcony, tilted its head, and watched He Chuan handle the ingredients in front of the board.
After spending a while of hard work, He Chuan finally got the chicken ready.
He took out another iron pot from under the cupboard, cleaned it, put it on the stove, turned on the fire, and heated the oil.
After the oil is almost hot, He Chuan adds ginger and garlic, stir-fry a few times, and then add the processed chicken, and quickly give the chicken over again.
After the chicken has been stir-fried, He Chuan turns off the heat, pours the chicken into the rice cooker, adds the hot water that has been boiled in advance, then covers the lid and adjusts to the porridge cooking mode for three hours.
The rice cooker's porridge cooking mode is particularly useful.
He Chuan used to use a pot to stew soup, but then he was lazy once, and after cooking it once in a rice cooker, he no longer used a pot to stew soup.
After doing all this, He Chuan looked at the time, it was only about half past eight now, and after the chicken soup was cooked, it was almost time for Ying Fei to come over.
The two main dishes are processed, and the rest is the side dishes.
Wash all the vegetables, cut them well, and put them on a plate.
Now these dishes can't be cooked, and if you do, when you turn around and noon, the dishes will be cold.
Then He Chuan took out all the braised vegetables he bought downstairs, put them on a plate, and put them on the dining table.
It seems like something is missing......
He Chuan looked at the dining table and fell into deep thought.
Soon, he reacted and missed a bottle of red wine.
took out a bottle of red wine that Wu Fatzi gave him before, put it on the dining table, and then went to the bookshelf, took the dried flowers he bought before, and put them next to the red wine.
After cleaning up like this, the grade of the whole table instantly improved a lot.
After doing everything, He Chuan cleaned up the room, then went to take a shower, changed his clothes, and when it was half past eleven, he fried the two vegetables together, then opened the rice cooker, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, and tasted it.
Well, fresh.
Put the pre-processed dried shiitake mushrooms in, He Chuan closed the lid, and prepared to simmer for a while.
Knock knock.
The security door of the house was suddenly knocked on.
