Chapter 61: What to Eat and What to Roll Up
I don't know if Zhang Cuihua went home before going to Liujia Village, and when Xiao Qiqi arrived to make lunch, she didn't wait for her to call Tianniu to come over to help, Tianniu had already come to the door from herself.
"Sweet girl, you're here. You came just in time, hurry up, help Aunt Seven and me to light the fire. ”
"Got it, Aunt Seven, I'll help you light the fire." Sweet girl smiled crookedly, she ran to the stove, skillfully picked up the flint and lit the fire.
As for Xiao Qiqi, the dough that has been kneaded and made with boiling water has been rolled into slices of moderate thickness, and then the bottom of the wine glass is used as a model, carving small circles on the dough, and then applying a layer of oil on each small circle, and then she brushes one round with oil on one side up, and the other round with oil on the side down, two are stacked together, roll out into thin slices with a rolling pin, and then put them in the pot to start pancakes, and when the dough is bulging, turn it over to the other side, and take this opportunity to open the two dough sheets after frying, and brush the egg in the middle, Wipe it evenly, and when the eggs are cooked, they will be cooked, and they will be considered to have completed a spring roll.
Then the second spring roll began, and this operation was repeated, and after completing the thirty spring rolls, Xiao Qiqi felt that the portion was enough, and then he started the side dish part of the spring roll.
For this side dish, Xiao Qiqi has vegan dishes according to different personal tastes, such as cucumber shreds mixed with bean sprouts, salt and pepper peanuts seaweed, and wild vegetable tofu skin. Of course, there are vegetarian and natural meat, such as scallion pork, celery pork, and wild vegetable pork. Each side dish is filled with a large plate, and the portion is sufficient.
When the sweet girl saw it, she was a little stunned.
"Aunt Seven, will you do too much? With so many spring rolls plus side dishes, will they be able to eat them all? ”
"If you can't finish eating, you can eat it hot at the next meal, but if you don't have enough food, it's very troublesome, so it's always okay to prepare more."
"Aunt Qi has a point, so should you serve it now?" Sweet chick asked.
"When I've cooked the mushroom egg drop soup and served it with a drink, it will be better to serve it together." Xiao Qiqi considered that the foodie Chu Fengci and the food snatcher Su Liunian felt that it was better not to serve it first, lest they start eating first, which was not a very good thing for other people, so after thinking about it, Xiao Qiqi decided to wait until the dishes were all neat, and it was safer to serve them together, at that time, everyone was on the table, in this case, it would be better to eat without succession.
What about the sweet girl, hearing Xiao Qiqi say this, she seemed to think of something, she smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then listen to Aunt Qi, and wait until the dishes are neat and then serve them." After saying this, the sweet girl continued to sit under the stove and burn the fire, while Xiao Qiqi quickly cooked the mushroom egg drop soup and made another drink.
This drink is just right for this season, it is a horseshoe pear rock syrup, boiled and set aside until it cools a little before pouring it into a bowl.
"It's okay, sweet girl, let's serve it, the three of them should have been waiting at the dinner table for a long time now." Xiao Qiqi commanded, calling Tianniu to help her bring spring rolls, side dishes, mushroom egg drop soup and water chestnut pear rock syrup to the table one by one.
Then, she began to introduce the staple of this lunch - spring rolls.
"Chu Gongzi, Mei Gongzi, Doctor Su, due to lack of time, I don't have time to make complicated dishes, so I made this spring roll for you for lunch today, the way to eat it is very simple, you took a spring roll, and then look at these three vegetarian dishes, three meat dishes, you can eat which side dish you like, that is to say, what to eat and what to roll, you can do it yourself. Of course, eating this kind of spring cake alone will inevitably cause you to have a little dry mouth, so I have prepared you with a mushroom egg drop soup and a water chestnut pear rock syrup drink, so that you can eat spring rolls while drinking egg drop soup or horseshoe pear rock syrup, which is excellent. While explaining, Xiao Qiqi had already thoughtfully put bowls of horseshoe pear rock sugar water in front of the three of them, as for the mushroom egg drop soup, she didn't do it, it was in a big bowl, if anyone wanted to drink it, then scoop a spoonful into their respective rice bowls.
Of course, after the distribution and explanation were completed, Xiao Qiqi called the sweet girl to sit down and eat together, and in front of them, there was naturally a bowl of horseshoe pear rock syrup for one person.
Xiao Qiqi felt a little dry mouth, so he drank a few big sips of horseshoe pear rock sugar water first, and when Chu Feng took a look, he saw that there was pear rock candy at noon, so he knew that this drink should be specially made for him by Xiao Qiqi, thinking about it, he was so happy that a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed.
"Mrs. Xiao, thank you for being so thoughtful for me." As he spoke, he quickly took a sip of the horseshoe pear rock syrup, and felt that the taste was really good, and he felt that it was even better than what he had drunk before.
His appearance was inevitably dissatisfied, but because Xiao Qiqi and Tianniu were present, the two of them couldn't say anything about Chu Feng.
In addition, Xiao Qiqi explained that this way of eating is quite fresh in their opinion, and they can eat it by themselves, and if they want to eat vegetarian or meat, they all like it by themselves, which gives them the right to choose and makes them extremely comfortable.
Therefore, in the eyes of Tianniu, it was enough for ten people to eat, but before they knew it, they were wrapped up by the three of them, she and Xiao Qiqi, one of them only ate one spring roll, and the other twenty-eight spring rolls were all scraped and divided by the three of them, and when there was only one spring roll left, the chopsticks of the three of them were still fighting.
"Mei Changqing, your body bones are not very good, it's better not to eat too much, if you eat too much, it won't be good for your body bones, so leave the last spring roll for me to eat." As a foodie, Chu Fengci naturally has no concessions in terms of food.
But Mei Changqing said: "It's rare food that I like to eat, so I naturally want to eat more." And you've eaten enough, it's time for me to give this one. As soon as Mei Changqing said this, Su Liunian on the side also followed: "It stands to reason that you all have to let me, Mrs. Xiao is cooking in my kitchen, how can I say that the last spring roll should also be a reward for me, the master." ”
"I'm supposed to eat it." The chopsticks in Chu Fengci's hand were tightly held and did not let go.
"I'll eat it." Mei Changqing didn't have the slightest intention of giving it to Chu Fengci, so the chopsticks sandwiched on the spring rolls naturally didn't take it back.
"I'm the one who eats." Su Liunian is a master of grabbing food, and in front of food, he naturally will not lose to anyone.
In this way, when Xiao Qiqi saw it, he simply reached over with his hand and snatched the last spring roll.
"I don't think the three of you need to eat, you've eaten enough, and I cook with Tianniu, and one of us eats one, this last spring roll, no matter what, it has to be eaten by the two of us. Oh, sweet girl, you eat half of it, and Aunt Seven and I eat half of it. Xiao Qiqi simply tore the spring rolls in half, and she shared the food with Tianniu, ignoring the resentful gaze of the other three people.
"Mrs. Xiao, can you re-"
"No, for today's noon portion, there would have been enough food for ten people, but the three of you almost snatched it up, and eating so much is enough for you. Of course, I am very happy that you are willing to appreciate your face so much, and like my cooking so much, but no matter how delicious things are, you can't eat like this, and if I make you another one, I'm afraid your stomach will be difficult. Okay, that's it, you guys will clean up after eating, I don't have the time to help you clean up. When he said this, Xiao Qiqi got up and stood up.
Chu Fengci looked at Xiao Qiqi's hurried appearance, guessing that she had something urgent to do, so he said, "Mrs. Xiao, are you going out to do something?" If the matter is urgent, or I will let Ah Ran send you, anyway, my carriage is of no use when it is parked, if you can use it, I will use it for you. ”
"That's good, I do have something to go to town, and tomorrow I have to start making nutritious meals for the children in the school, so I have to go to the town today to buy ingredients and start preparing. Maybe you won't even have time to make dinner for you, and if that's the case, and I can't make it, you three can eat whatever you want, and you won't have to wait for me to come back and make dinner. Xiao Qiqi said so, ready to go out.
And what about Chu Fengci, as soon as he heard that dinner was gone, he jumped up immediately. "That's not good, I'm used to eating food you cook here, and I definitely don't like to eat other people's food. If you really didn't have time to come back and make dinner, would you have left me hungry then? ”
"That's also something that can't be helped, after all, I have received money from others, so I can't help but make nutritious meals for those children, if so, then wouldn't I be a person who doesn't believe in my word? That's not good, I still want to open a restaurant to do business in the future, the first important thing for this business person is to be honest, so I can tell you, Chu Fengci, I can't smash my own signboard just because you have a dinner. It is related to her future money-making plans, and after Xiao Qiqi weighed the pros and cons, she was resolute and uncompromising.
As for Chu Fengci, after considering this, he simply said: "That's good, Ah Ran and I will help you buy ingredients, and when you come back, if I can help, I will help you do it, so save time, do you have the time to cook dinner?" ”
"That's up to you at the time." Xiao Qiqi heard Chu Fengci say this, and it was not easy to refuse her, but she would definitely have to measure the time at that time, whether she had the time to cook dinner, and she had to see if it was too early to come back.
As for Chu Fengci, he patted his chest and promised that Xiao Qiqi would definitely have the time to cook dinner, for his dinner, in order not to be hungry, he had made up his mind that Xiao Qiqi would have to make time to cook dinner no matter what.
