Chapter 47: Tasting Human Cuisine
It's another Sunday.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Ai Qingzheng, who had just finished writing, wanted to get up and open the door, and Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the bed reading a storybook, immediately jumped out of bed: "I'll go, I'll go." ”
With that, she pushed open the bedroom door, walked all the way to the door, and opened a gap.
"Hello, takeaway." The takeaway guy outside the door reached in with a hand and handed over the plastic bag.
Xiaoyu took it, closed the door, and obediently sent the things in his hand to the kitchen.
Ai Qing walked out of the bedroom slowly, and suddenly found that there are still many benefits for Xiaoyu to become a human.
The various troubles that he had experienced before, after Ai Qing gradually taught Xiaoyu to read and write, and was able to communicate roughly, became the cornerstone of making Xiaoyu useful.
At least now, this kind of takeaway thing doesn't need Ai Qing to do it, Xiaoyu himself is very active in doing it.
"I'm making lunch, you can continue to read first." Ai Qing patted her head in encouragement, then went to the kitchen counter and began to process the ingredients she had just bought.
Today's food is relatively simple, Ai Qing bought a processed crucian carp, as well as two tomatoes, plus all the other small ingredients that need to be added.
Ai Qing actually likes to eat fish, and has loved fish since he was a child, but let him do it himself, he feels troublesome.
Because the number of times I cook it is small, I can't grasp the heat well, and sometimes it is easy to fry the fish.
Today is also greedy, watching small fish eat dried small fish every day, and he also placed an order for a fish.
To make a braised crucian carp, it should be regarded as a celebration of yourself at two o'clock this afternoon, and you are about to board the galaxy recommendation of the starting point.
Thinking about it like this, Ai Qing was in a good mood, humming a little song and taking out the processed crucian carp, washing it with water, then cutting the ginger slices, sprinkling salt and cooking wine on the fish, and setting it aside to marinate.
Taking advantage of this, Ai Qing boiled a pot of hot water, crossed two tomatoes, and threw hot water into the skin to scald.
Once the tomatoes are removed from the pan, they can be peeled very easily by following the cut cross.
Cut the two tomatoes into small pieces, Ai Qing took out three more eggs from the refrigerator, beat them in a bowl and stirred well, and added a little starch water by the way.
Adding starch water to the egg mixture can make the scrambled eggs more tender, which is a very useful tip.
After doing this, Ai Qing put aside the tomato and egg liquid, and did not rush to make tomato scrambled eggs first, and set his eyes on the crucian carp again.
Heat the oil, add the crucian carp, fry on both sides until golden brown, add green onions, ginger, garlic and chopped chili peppers, and fry until fragrant.
Then pour in an appropriate amount of water, season with light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, then add cooking wine and sugar, cover the pot, and cook slowly over medium heat.
Ai Qing didn't put too much water, set a ten-minute alarm clock on his mobile phone, and walked out of the kitchen to add cat food to Xiaoyu first.
But at this time, the little fish has not turned back into a kitten, and it can't be eaten.
After this period of observation and experimentation, Ai Qing can basically draw conclusions.
Small fish do not share the same body in two forms.
To put it simply, the cat food eaten in the cat state has nothing to do with the human state.
And if you eat a snack of small fish in a human state, it will only be digested and excreted in the stomach in a human state.
The two sides are parallel.
It's just that there is still a problem now, which makes Ai Qing a little confused.
That is, the small fish does not seem to have the concept of "hunger" in human form?
Small fish like to eat small dried fish, it's just a gluttony, even if you don't eat it all the time, it doesn't matter.
It is also unknown what is maintaining the energy expenditure of the small fish's human form.
However, the cats have become humans, and Ai Qing no longer forces himself to use scientific theories to verify them.
As soon as the ten minutes arrived, Ai Qing walked into the kitchen again, opened the lid of the pot and took a look, the water level was not low, and continued to cover and boil.
Then he started another stove, put oil in the pot next to him, and immediately poured in the egg liquid while it was not high, and turned it slowly, waiting for the egg to form.
The whole process is in a state of medium-low heat, and the egg liquid is slowly formed, and before it is completely solidified into a very ripe state, it is all taken out, and it looks very tender.
After that, add the oil here, turn on high heat, pour in the tomato pieces and stir-fry, flatten them, and add a little water.
Then pour a little light soy sauce to taste, cover the pot, and simmer for a minute or two to squeeze out all the juice from the tomatoes.
Pour in a teaspoon of sugar and salt, add the scrambled eggs and stir-fry evenly.
At this time, the braised crucian carp next to it is almost done, lift the lid of the pot, and reduce the juice on high heat.
Sprinkle the two dishes with chopped green onions, and Ai Qing brought the food to the living room table, ready to enjoy lunch.
At this time in the past, Xiaoyu either hadn't changed yet, or had already changed into a kitten and had lunch with Ai Qing.
But today is probably a long time to become a human, and when Xiaoyu smelled the fragrance and walked out of the bedroom, he was still in human form, and sat next to Ai Qing.
"Haven't you changed back yet?" Ai Qing glanced at her, "I'll eat cat food when I change back for a while, don't worry." ”
"Hmm......" Xiaoyu nodded, folded his hands on the dining table, rested his chin on it, blinked at the cat food in front of him, and shook his head from side to side.
Ai Qing touched her head, then picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy today's lunch.
I have to say that the braised crucian carp cooked in this way is delicious and tender.
Coupled with Ai Qing's favorite tomato scrambled eggs, a big bowl of rice, easy to bottom, must have a second bowl.
However, Ai Qing was eating heartily, and when he turned his head, he saw the small fish, and he was looking at the braised crucian carp on his plate, as if he was very greedy.
"Also, it's not like you can't eat when you become a human."
Ai Qing touched his chin and touched his stomach again, feeling that he was actually seven points full.
If you want to talk about the rest of the dishes, he must have eaten them all, after all, he was originally made according to his own amount of food.
It's just that it's definitely very strong after eating.
Since Xiaoyu is interested, she can give it a try.
"Sit and wait for me."
Ai Qing put down his chopsticks, got up and walked into the kitchen, and brought a bowl and a pair of chopsticks to Xiaoyu.
"I just don't know if you'll use it." Ai Qing smiled and stuffed the chopsticks into the small fish's mouth, "Oh, you try it, clip a piece of fish meat and taste it." ”
"Me?" Xiao Yu took the chopsticks, looked at the fish on the plate in a daze, and then looked at Ai Qing, "Okay?" ”
In her impression, Ai Qing would never allow her to touch the food on the plate.
She used to steal it once when she was a kitten, and she was taught a lesson by Ai Qing for a long time.
So all along, Xiaoyu has been very clear that the things on the plate cannot be touched by themselves.
"You're not a cat now, you can eat it." Ai Qing said, "The salt of this thing is easy for cats to get sick, but you are a human now, so there should be no problem." ”
"But just in case, you taste it and don't eat too much."
"Yes, like this, use your fingers to control the chopsticks, and if you push hard, you can clamp them."
"Haha! Forget it, you can learn this slowly, don't be in a hurry. ”
"I'll feed you."
"Come, open your mouth, ah~"
