Chapter 135: How to Look at and How to Like It
After Ning Hua and Peng Jianyang washed their hands, they went their separate ways as instructed. Mother Ning stood aside and watched them busy with relief, and also gave advice at any time:
"Birch, take out the yeast and sugar from the cupboard, add a spoonful of yeast and five spoonfuls of sugar to the flour. Yes, yes, add it to the flour that your brother scooped out. ”
"Take a carton of pure milk, mix it in warm water, stir it, and stir it well."
Ning Hua hurriedly found this or that thing according to the words and added them to flour or warm water, and Peng Jianyang also used chopsticks to stir the milk and water according to his wife's instructions.
Next, Ning's mother instructed Peng Jianyang to bring three eggs, beat them into egg liquid and add them to the mixed flour, and gradually pour warm water into the mixed flour: "Jianyang, beat the eggs in the same direction, not in the other direction." ”
After Ning Hua poured the water, Peng Jianyang immediately mixed it with his hands and began to knead the dough. Under the command of Ning's mother, the two poured water and kneading dough, and they also cooperated very tacitly. The flour is slowly kneaded into a flocculent form and a batter again.
Mother Ning scooped up the batter with a spoon, and when she saw that it could flow down automatically, she nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, put on plastic wrap, and when it wakes up, the two of you can rest for a while." The two of them work faster than me, and the temperature in the house is not low, so it is estimated that this side will be ready at lunchtime, and you can eat tortillas at noon. ”
Ning Hua covered the mouth of the basin with plastic wrap, and just as she was about to go over to clean up the flour, Peng Jianyang kicked her out of the kitchen with her mother: "Senior mother, junior sister, you are not needed here." Go to the hall and sit and watch TV, don't let the flour cost you your hands and clothes. I have flour in my hands anyway, so I'll clean up the kitchen, but it's not easy to clean up when there are too many people. ”
Ning Hua and her mother only had to go out of the kitchen, and waited outside for half an hour, Peng Jianyang hadn't come out yet, and her mother asked her to go over and take a look.
Ning Hua walked over and gently pushed open the kitchen door, and saw that the kitchen had been cleaned clean, and the potatoes, rape and big bone sticks had been washed and placed in different draining baskets. Peng Jianyang, who was picking the mud line for the prawns in front of the pool, left Ning Hua with a back that was not wide but looked warm and steady. Ning Hua gently closed the kitchen door and came back to tell his mother that Peng Jianyang had finished cleaning and was washing the vegetables, and it seemed that he would have to cook by himself in a while.
Mother Ning walked into the kitchen with a smile, she first went to check how the face was doing, and then walked over to see Peng Jianyang picking up the mud line, but she didn't stop Peng Jianyang from exiting, but said: "This mud line is really clean, it seems that you are doing a lot of housework at home." ”
Peng Jianyang smiled and said, "Master, I used to be ignorant when I was in school, and I didn't do housework. I don't always rent a house after I go to work, cook my own food, and all of a sudden I can do it all at once. ”
"Being single outside is a little harder, and it will be better in the future." Mother Ning looked at him lovingly, and it was inconvenient to say deeply, so she was simply relieved, and shouted out of the kitchen, "Hua Hua, you also come over and learn how to clean up the prawns." ”
Ning Hua had no choice but to go back to the kitchen and stand next to Ning's mother, watching this senior brother who was "omnipotent" in the kitchen carefully tidying up the prawns.
Under the observation of his wife and sister, after Peng Jianyang cleaned up the prawns, he personally cooked, first cooked rice, and then stewed big bone sticks in a pressure cooker, and then took the wok and quickly made a plate of vegetarian fried shredded potatoes, a plate of mushroom rape, and a plate of spicy prawns. The dish on the stove on the left has just been fried, and the big bone stick on the stove on the right has been stewed to the ground, waiting to come out of the pot. Mother Ning watched Peng Jianyang prepare these dishes in an orderly manner in less than an hour, and couldn't help but secretly praise. She walked over and saw that the noodles had been made, and instructed Chef Ning Hua to replace the senior brother.
Under the command of her mother, Ning Hua found an electric baking pan that could be heated on both sides, and brushed a thin layer of oil on the upper and lower plates of the electric baking pan. She scoops the batter out of the steel basin with a spoon, spreads it evenly along the edge of the bottom plate, and sprinkles a few drops of water on each dough pan to prevent it from getting hard. Ning Hua turned on the power of the electric cake pan, and after heating it for two minutes, the heating light went out, and the six corn tortillas in the first pot were out of the pot. The plate with silver-gray flowers on a white background makes the corn tortillas more golden and looks soft and attractive. Mother Ning took three pairs of chopsticks and handed them one pair each to Peng Jianyang and Ning Hua, asking them to taste them first, and if they were delicious, they would make a second pot.
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, it tastes better than what I ate yesterday!" Peng Jianyang tasted it and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Senior sister, you can taste it." Master, you are so amazing, you just ate it once yesterday, and you found the right ingredients? The owner of the store knows about it, and he can't be mad? ”
"You kid, how can you be as exaggerated as you say? This is just the same shape, but the taste is still different, and no one else makes it glutinous and soft and sweet. Mother Ning scolded softly with a smile.
"I just think what we make is better than what they do. However, my wife, if you want to eat the tortillas from that house, I can buy them for you at any time and send them to you. ”
"Okay, good, if I want to eat it, I want you to send it over, and your mouth is sweet. Come, eat another loaf of bread. ”
"Okay, thank you, Mrs."
Ning Hua ate a tortilla in his mouth and listened to their conversation with amusement in his ears.
Then, Ning Hua made the second and third pots, both of which were operated by Ning Hua himself, without asking his mother to command, and the tortillas made were as golden and delicious as the first pot.
After making the tortillas, Ning Hua and Peng Jianyang moved the dishes to the dining table one by one and prepared for lunch. Ning's mother beckoned Peng Jianyang to sit inside, and she and Ning Hua sat outside. Ning Hua didn't wait for her mother's instructions, she had already grabbed the meal in front of Peng Jianyang and served it to the table. Mother Ning seemed to have a good appetite, and praised Peng Jianyang's good cooking skills while eating.
Peng Jianyang was praised by his wife, and he was happy, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to curry favor: "My wife wants to think that my cooking is delicious, and I will come over to cook for you on weekends in the future." Anyway, I live alone, and I have to cook, so come here to cook and eat with you, and it's lively. ”
"That's a good feeling, it's just too much trouble for you." Mother Ning said with a smile.
"It's not troublesome, I have to cook at home. Every time I make it myself, I eat it by myself, and I don't feel a sense of accomplishment at all. When I'm done, some people love to eat, and that's what makes it interesting. ”
Ning Hua couldn't help frowning secretly when he heard this. She knew in her heart that her mother was obviously looking forward to her daughter being able to get along with Peng Jianyang. Well, her mother is now looking at Peng Jianyang with the eyes of her mother-in-law and her future son-in-law, how do you see it! Peng Jianyang probably had the same careful thoughts, they didn't ask her opinion at all, as if they saw that she would definitely accept Peng Jianyang sooner or later. But they didn't know that Ning Hua didn't like such a family man who only knew how to wash clothes, cook, and eat, she liked a lively and sunny boy who could gallop across the court. But she wondered again, she had just fallen on such a boy, was it wrong for her to like lively boys?
