Chapter 11 China's Good Neighbors

After May Day, Yang Guo has to go to work, and he can't let him go with Qiqi. Not to mention that Yang Guo is not a lesbian, even if he is, the company does not allow children to come to work! Crying and making trouble, making the company jump.

Yang Guo's company is a private company, to put it bluntly, interests are paramount, even if it is a woman, the company will not spend spare money to let you go on maternity leave, when the company's salesman was recruited, it was clearly stipulated that unmarried people were to be used. Yang Guo didn't think anything at the time, and now he didn't dare to say anything about Qiqi.

The work is small, but the salary is big! Yang Guo now has a bottomless pit at home that spends money like flowing water, how can he support it without a salary?

But where can Yang Guo rest assured that Qiqi is home alone, besides, Qiqi still has to breastfeed her from time to time!

So Yang Guo is a little worried now.

"Hey, what kind of big deal did I say, it made you worried," Liu Guilin smiled, he pointed to his wife beside him, "Isn't there still your sister-in-law?" ”

Fang Wenjing put his hand on the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile: "Yes, you can go to work with confidence." I don't have much to do in the store every day, so let me help you watch the children. ”

Yang Guo was very moved, this couple is really a charcoal in the snow! If Song Zhiwen proposed to let him help take care of the child, Yang Guo was really not at ease, but Liu Guilin and his wife were different, Liu Guilin was steady, Fang Wen was quiet and virtuous, and they were all experienced people, Yang Guo handed over Qiqi to them for trusteeship, which can be said to be the best choice.

Yang Guo felt that since Qiqi was born, he has always had nobles to help him, and he was very lucky. The head nurse Jiang in the hospital, seeing that he became a father at a young age, helped him make some arrangements, and asked the nurse to tell him how to take care of the child, if it wasn't for the head nurse Jiang, Yang Guo would still be blind now, and he didn't know how to do it at all. Now there are Liu Guilin and his wife, who promised to help him take care of the children when he went to work. In such a situation, Yang Guo didn't know what to say.

A thousand words are always difficult to express gratitude, and Yang Guo graciously invited them to eat together at noon.

Fang Wenjing refused, saying that they had just returned home, and they were tired from the saddle horse, and they wanted to rest at noon.

Where is Yang Guo willing to follow, he said: "Otherwise, I'll make dinner, Xiaodong likes to eat my fried dishes!" You've helped me so much, I have to say thank you. ”

Fang Wenjing couldn't stand him, so he said: "I really can't say that you are worthy of doing business." Okay, but you don't have to cook here, you're too small, you might as well come to me, everything is complete. ”

"Okay, that's it." Yang Guo said with a smile.

In the afternoon, after Yang Guo put the bathing and full Qiqi to sleep, he entrusted it to Fang Wenjing and went straight to the market.

Unlike yesterday, today there are a total of four mouths to eat, Yang Guo plans to buy more dishes, since he wants to do it, he will make a big meal.

Liu Guilin's family is from Nanhu, they have a spicy taste, Yang Guo bought a large handful of red peppers, looking at the green peppers next to him, he also grabbed half a bag. Liu Guilin has other ingredients at home, so there is no need to buy them. In the case of green vegetables, cabbage and green onions naturally cannot be left behind, and Yang Guo also bought a white radish, which is the most suitable for stewed beef brisket.

After buying the brisket, Yang Guo thought about it and weighed more than a pound of beef.

I didn't plan to make Coke chicken wings today, but I still had to cook soup with chicken, Yang Guo walked to the chicken stall and asked for half a black chicken. In the end, Yang Guo also bought a bighead carp head, which is often referred to as fathead fish or big-headed fish.

Carrying tonight's ingredients in both hands, Yang Guo returned with a full load.

Directly back to Liu Guilin's house, seeing the dishes Yang Guo carried, Liu Guilin and his son Xiaodong, who had just woken up, jumped on the sofa for a while, jumped down after a while, and shouted excitedly: "There is a big meal to eat!" Have a big meal to eat! ”

Liu Guilin is different from Yang Guo, his house is bought, although it is a second-hand house, but it is also very beautifully decorated. Although it is on the opposite door, this house is a two-bedroom apartment, with an additional kitchen and a large balcony, with a total area of nearly 80 square meters, which looks much more comfortable.

Fang Wenjing is a very virtuous woman, and her home is neatly maintained. She usually cooks at home, so the kitchen utensils such as casseroles, soup pots and so on are also very complete. Yang Guo looked at such a kitchen, and the envy in his heart was not to mention.

Yang Guo put down the dishes, returned to his side, and brought the rest of the sausage from yesterday, he was going to make cured rice, but because today's cured rice was not the protagonist, he just took one section. At this time, Fang Wenjing held Qiqi in the trolley that Yang Guo had newly bought, pushed it here, and let Liu Guilin watch it, and she also came to the kitchen to help.

"Yang Guo, I'm here to give you a hand." Fang Wenjing smiled, she took out the mushrooms and cabbage from the bag and washed them by the sink.

Yang Guo smiled: "Sister Fang, don't say that, you are my master!" My Hunan cuisine was also taught by you, and I haven't forgotten it. ”

"Green out of the blue is better than the blue, your current level of Hunan cuisine is higher than mine, you look at Xiaodong, I like to eat the dishes you make, my mouth is raised, I don't learn from you, he won't eat my mother's dishes in the future."

Say Xiaodong, Xiaodong arrives. Xiaodong, who couldn't bear the loneliness in the living room, ran into the kitchen, pulled the corner of Yang Guo's clothes and said, "Uncle Guo, are you going to make Coke chicken wings today?" He swallowed himself as he spoke.

"I'm not going to make Coke chicken wings today!" Xiaodong's expression suddenly became very depressed.

"Still, there's something better to eat today." Yang Guo said with a smile. After listening to Yang Guo's words, Xiaodong became excited again.

Yang Guo washed the rice and soaked it in water.

Fang Wenjing chose the vegetables, and Yang Guo washed the cutting board and kitchen knife, and began to cut the meat. Needless to say, the sausage is cut into slices as it was yesterday. The black chicken and beef brisket are cut into large pieces, so that they are more enjoyable to eat when they are cooked. The beef is sliced and served on a plate, while the head carp is cut into small pieces.

Since the soup needs to be boiled for a long time, Yang Guo washed the soup pot, black chicken, pitted red dates, longan, and wolfberries were put into the soup pot in turn, Yang Guo thought about it, cut two slices of ginger into it, added water and plugged in the electricity to cook.

Wash the white radish and also cut into cubes. Fang Wenjing said enviously: "Yang Guo, your knife skills are really good, every time I cut white radish, it takes a lot of effort." ”

Yang Guo can't teach her this, Yang Guo couldn't cut it so well before, but now the strength in his hands has become a little bigger, and the knife is stable and accurate, this mysterious feeling can't be taught.

Yang Guo first boiled the beef and water in the pot, and also cut some ginger into it. Yang Guo thinks that the gas stove is indeed more convenient than the induction cooker, but he can't install the gas stove at home.

The restless Xiaodong ran in again, tilted his head, looked at Yang Guo with round eyes, and said, "Uncle Guo, my sister is so cute!" What's her name? ”

Yang Guo smiled: "My sister's name is Qiqi." ”

Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said softly, "Uncle Guo, can I touch Sister Qiqi's face?" Daddy wouldn't let me move. The fox's tail was exposed.

Fang Wenjing took over the conversation: "No, Xiaodong, my sister is too young to touch it yet." You're a big brother, you have to take good care of your sister. ”

Xiaodong suddenly felt that his mission was important, saluted a military salute, and said solemnly: "Yes!" ”

Two minutes later, Yang Guo scooped the brisket into the prepared casserole and poured out the water and meat foam. Then burn the sauce, Yang Guo added rice wine, light soy sauce, oil, sugar and salt to the pot, boiled, poured into the casserole, and slowly stewed together with star anise and other spices.

The bighead carp head is marinated with salt, cooking wine, starch, pepper and ginger slices, and the beef is also marinated. Fang Wenjing next to him also washed the green peppers and sharp peppers separately and cut them.

At this time, Xiao Dong ran in again, just like a little herald, he called: "Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo, Sister Qiqi is awake." ”

Yang Guo hurriedly washed his hands and asked Fang Wenjing to slice the mushrooms and tear the cabbage apart first.

After Qiqi woke up, she was about to drink milk again, Yang Guo picked her up, and went home to get the milk that had just been brewed and kept warm in hot water. After feeding Kiki, Yang Guo let her lie in the crib and play by herself, and he returned to the kitchen to continue his work.

The rice was almost soaked, and Yang Guo poured it into the rice cooker and added water to cook the rice. Now that all the ingredients are ready, calculate the time, Yang Guo plans to make fried fish head with green peppers first.

The fish head should be fried first, so pour oil into the poplar fruit, wait for the oil to be hot, and then put in the fish head. With a "sizzle", the whole kitchen was filled with the rich smell of fish.

Yang Guo estimated the heat and turned over the fish heads one by one, revealing the attractive golden color on the fried side. Once cooked, the fish head is served on a plate. He started the pot again, the green onion and ginger burst out of the thick fragrance in the hot oil, and the chopped green pepper and sharp pepper were fried together, and for a while the pot was red, green, white, and yellow, and the color was very bright. Then Yang Guo poured the fish head into it, stirred it gently, and finally added Lao Gan Ma and an appropriate amount of soy sauce, stirred well, and then came out of the pot.

The soup was almost stewed, and Yang Guo couldn't be separated, so he asked Fang Wenjing to season it. He started stir-frying mushroom beef again. Stir-fry the beef first, pour it into the pot after the oil is hot, turn it over twice and take it out, then stir-fry the ginger and garlic, add light soy sauce and oil, and then pour in mushrooms, beef and peppers. After stir-frying, scoop a spoonful of pepper, add salt and water starch, and wait for the oil in the pot to thicken. The maroon beef on the silver plate is mixed with white mushrooms, and the fragrant oil juice runs on the surface, which looks particularly tempting.

Fang Wenjing greeted Xiao Dong, who had already drooled three thousand feet, and asked him to bring the dishes that had been fried.

Yang Guo looked at the time, turned on the rice cooker, spread the sausage on the surface of the rice, and continued to cook.

The third course is shredded cabbage. The shredded cabbage is simple, its process is really simple, and if it is not simple, it is really not simple to fry the shredded cabbage. Controlling the heat is the key to making this dish, use low heat when stir-frying dried chili peppers and garlic in poplar fruit oil, but immediately increase the heat and stir-fry vigorously after adding the cabbage. The wrist of the left hand is vigorous, carrying the pot to shake on the fire, the right hand spatula is flying, stir-frying quickly, stir-frying a few times, Yang Guo will add some soy sauce and salt, fry evenly and serve it.

At this time, the beef brisket was almost simmered, and Yang Guo poured the cut white radish into it and cooked it for another twenty minutes. Finally, Yang Guo added some special soy sauce to the cured rice, and a big meal was ready!

Liu Guilin looked at the stewed beef brisket with radish, bighead carp pieces with green peppers, mushroom beef and shredded cabbage on the table, all of which were full of color, flavor and flavor, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration. Xiaodong even held his small bowl and chopsticks, staring at the delicacies on the table, he couldn't wait to start the meal!

At dinner, Xiao Dong chewed smooth and tender beef in his mouth, with rice grains on his face, a few pieces of fish piled up in the bowl, and wanted to stretch his chopsticks to hold the brisket, but his hands were not long enough, so he was so anxious that he twisted around on the stool. Yang Guo slowly tasted the fragrant and delicious black chicken soup, smiled and comforted him, and raised his hand to help him clip a piece of beef brisket in his small plate.

Yang Guo looked back at Qiqi, who was sitting in the baby stroller and quietly looking at this strange room, and thought to himself: "Qiqi, you are growing up quickly, Dad is going to make you something to eat!" ”
