Chapter 152: Egg scones
Xu is because he went to bed early, and he is worried about things. On the second day, before dawn, Qi Lele suddenly woke up.
Subconsciously looked to the side, it was still empty, Xie Zi'an got up so early?
She hurriedly got up, dressed and went out of the room, the courtyard was dark, the stars and moon in the sky disappeared at some point, the whole sky was dark and gloomy, and there was no light in sight.
Qi Lele raised his eyes and looked around, only the light in the study was on, and some voices could be faintly heard, thinking that they were going out today, and they had never stopped getting up early to read, this persistence was commendable.
Knowing that he is not the only one who is sober at home, Qi Lele, who was originally afraid of the dark, has inexplicably gained confidence, and he feels that there is nothing to be afraid of!
I went back to my room and lit an oil lamp and carried it to the kitchen.
When he was halfway through, he suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard gate being gently pushed open, Qi Lele was really startled, and he almost jumped up and shouted.
The next moment, I saw Aunt Wang carrying a bag of things into the door.
Qi Lele secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't shout, otherwise he would be embarrassed!
As soon as Aunt Wang entered the door, she saw a hazy figure in the courtyard, and she was suddenly shocked.
Stabilizing her mind, Aunt Wang's smile and voice couldn't hear a trace of abnormality: "The young lady got up so early?"
Qi Lele smiled, "I promised to make them some food last night, so I got up early."
"Yesterday I ran out of noodles at home, and I still have a lot of them, so I brought some first."
"That's just right, I'll make an egg scone later, and I'll serve it as a morning meal for everyone."
"Okay, I'll give the young lady a hand."
Egg scones are mainly in the technique, first use the slightly hot water and noodles, the dough is slightly soft, and put aside to rise a cup of tea.
Here's how to prepare the puff pastry, add flour and salt, add some pepper, drizzle it with hot oil and stir-fry until fragrant, then stir it into a soft paste for later use.
Divide the proofed dough into small pieces, flatten the small dough slightly and roll it a little bigger, apply some puff pastry in the middle, and wrap the seal like a bun: "This mouth should be sealed well, so that the puff pastry does not leak out."
Aunt Wang looked at it carefully and responded seriously: "Okay."
Once wrapped, roll it into a pancake shape and set aside.
Taking advantage of Aunt Wang's pancakes, Qi Lele cut the washed chives into cubes, beat in a few eggs, and stirred well.
When you're ready, take out the pans, place them on the fire, and get ready to start pancakes.
Aunt Wang watched from the sidelines, and suddenly said in surprise, "The cake is actually bulging!"
Qi Lele smiled: "Because of the puff pastry, it can be puffed up, and the next thing is the point."
I saw Qi Lele holding chopsticks to poke out a thumb-sized hole in the bulging dough, pouring the chives and egg liquid into the cake, waiting for a while, quickly turning over the dough and continuing to fry, and waiting until it is golden on both sides, you can get out of the pot!
"That's good?"
Qi Lele nodded: "Wait a minute, cut it into small pieces, and you can also coat it with some meat sauce, fish sauce, bean sauce and the like according to your preference, which also has a unique flavor."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "The young lady is really ingenious, and she can make such a trick with a simple dough."
"You can also see, in fact, it is not difficult to do, but ordinary people can't think of it, and I also learned it from others by accident."
Aunt Wang heard about Qi Lele, so naturally she didn't say much, but said, "Let me try it."
"Okay."
Qi Lele decisively gave up his position, Aunt Wang was still a little rusty the first time, and the egg liquid flowed out a little, and it was much more stable by the second time.
Seeing this, Qi Lele handed it to her with confidence, and went to the well to get the last half bucket of buffalo milk, ready to cook it and eat it with egg scones.
These days, she can also see that everyone is not pure milk
I love to drink it, but if you add a little sweetness to it, it will give you a clean drink.
Early in the morning is not suitable for desserts, Qi Lele thought about it, took some honey out, waited for the boiled milk to cool down, and added some more to make honey milk.
When Xie Zi'an came over, the egg scones were already ready, and Qi Lele cut them into palm-sized pieces and was arranging them.
"Are you done with morning class?" Seeing Xie Zi'an nodding, Qi Lele smiled and said, "Then let's eat the morning food first."
"Okay, what did you do today?"
Qi Lele picked up a small piece and handed it to him: "Egg scones, try them."
Seeing that Aunt Wang was also there, Xie Zi'an rarely reached out honestly and took a bite.
"The crust is crispy, and the inside is delicious, which is good."
Qi Lele smiled, "If you like it, it's fine."
Xie Zi'an smiled slightly: "I like it."
Aunt Wang silently picked up the tray and ran away, always feeling that she was in the kitchen, which seemed to be a little redundant!
"Sister-in-law, is this an omelet? It's not the same as the sweet one I made last time!"
Qi Lele bent down and scratched the tip of Xie Sixian's nose, and said with a smile: "This is an egg scramble, salty, you can eat it alone, or you can dip it in some sauce to eat, you can try it."
Xie Sixian nodded, raised her chopsticks to clip one, took a big bite, her cheeks suddenly bulged, her big eyes were round, and she nodded vigorously at Qi Lele: "Mmmm!"
Qi Lele smiled and said softly, "Eat slowly, eat more if you like."
Seeing this, the others also stretched out their chopsticks.
Qi Le was happy to see them eating egg scones one by one, but he ignored the milk on the table, and couldn't help but remind, "This is honey milk, remember to drink it!"
As soon as he heard that it was honey milk, several hands stretched out at the same time, even Xie Dai was no exception.
Qi Lele coughed lightly, and then suppressed the smile that surged to his lips, this family is a foodie!
After a meal, everyone ate with round stomachs, and they had to boast at Qi Lele again.
Qi Lele couldn't help but tease them: "Since you eat so much, don't you need to bring popcorn?" I can't fit my stomach."
"That's not going to work!"
A few small ones almost in unison.
Qi Lele finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and felt out of shape again, so he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.
"Laugh if you want." Su Yaxian smiled and nodded a few small ones, and said, "These little things, I don't know, I think we are treating them harshly!"
"That's not because my sister-in-law's food is so delicious!"
Qi Lele smiled: "It's you who are easy to feed, and I make just ordinary snacks."
Hearing this, Xie Dai, who had been silent, raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Lele without a trace.
No one else noticed it, but Su Yaxian seemed to inadvertently tilt her head sideways and glanced at Xie Dai warningly.
A smile flashed in Xie Dai's eyes, but he didn't speak.
