Chapter 868 (Page 1/2)

Huo Yiwen's face flushed unnaturally, and he said a little awkwardly: "Dad, how about we finish the meal first, and then I will help you peel the peanuts.

Because wait a minute, I have to go to the kitchen and watch mom make fried chicken for us!

As for fried chicken, you must eat it while it’s hot. When it’s just out of the pan, the skin is crispy and the chicken inside is tender and juicy. The taste is simply amazing.

But if it gets cold, the skin becomes hard and difficult to chew, and the taste is greatly reduced."

Huo Yixin, who was standing by, was also very excited. She held onto the corner of Lin Man's clothes tightly with her little hands and shouted expectantly:

"Mom, are you really going to make fried chicken for us? Wow, that's great! But it's a little sad that my big brother isn't home, so we can't taste such delicious fried chicken."

At this time, Huo Li smiled and interrupted, "Xinxin, don't worry. When your eldest brother comes back, Grandpa will ask your Aunt Xu to buy two more chickens and fry one specially for him."

The ingredients for making fried chicken today are the colorful pheasants that Mo Qilin gave her. They are completely different from ordinary local chickens!

After this kind of chicken is fried, the tempting golden color alone will make you salivate.

Take a gentle bite, and you will hear a "crack" sound, and the skin will instantly burst open, revealing the tender and smooth chicken inside. Then a stream of delicious gravy will overflow in your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

How could an ordinary free-range chicken have such a wonderful taste! But Lin Man secretly wondered in her heart whether this chicken would be enough for so many people in the family to share.

Oh, forget it. Next time I'll just fry two directly, so that everyone doesn't have to fight over them.

After Xu Xiaomin brought out the chicken soup and food one after another, Lin Man hurried to the kitchen.

As soon as Lin Man left, the three little kids followed her, wanting to watch her make fried chicken.

The frying pan in the kitchen was very large. Lin Man washed the pan clean and poured a large bottle of oil into it. She planned to fry them all in one pan, which would save time.

After pouring the oil, Lin Man coated the marinated chicken with flour, while Huo Yian took the initiative to stuff some firewood into the stove.

Xu Xiaomin looked at the oil in the pot, the corners of her mouth twitched, and just as she was about to say something, Lin Man started to explain:

"Sister Xu, this oil can be reused. You can mix it with dough and fry some dough sticks tomorrow morning. You can also fry peanuts, fried dough twists, and shrimp crackers."

In this remote rural area, cooking oil has become a tricky problem.

On weekdays, very few people can buy fried dough sticks. After all, it is difficult for people to even guarantee the amount of oil needed for daily cooking, so how can they be willing to waste so much oil to fry fried dough sticks by themselves?

However, the Huo family is an exception! Their wealth is simply astonishing.

The elaborately constructed greenhouse was unprecedented and its luxury was beyond imagination.

As for the various rare flowers planted in the greenhouse, it is impossible to estimate their value.

Not only that, the Huo family’s daily meals were also extremely rich, with a never-ending supply of chicken, duck, fish and meat.

At this moment, the hostess of the house was preparing to make delicious fried chicken for her children. She poured four or five pounds of oil into the pot without hesitation!

Xu Xiaomin, who witnessed this scene, was so shocked that she was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Suddenly, as if remembering something important, she timidly said, "Comrade Lin, I'm so sorry, I've never fried dough sticks before and I really don't know how to make them."

At this time, Lin Man was busy coating the chicken evenly with flour. After hearing Xu Xiaomin's words, she smiled slightly and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, it's not that difficult! I'll teach you how to do it myself tomorrow morning. You'll definitely be able to learn it if you try a few more times." After saying that, he continued to focus on the task at hand.

Xu Xiaomin stood quietly at one side, her eyes never leaving Lin Man's skillful movements.

Lin Man first calmly sprinkled a proper amount of pepper and salt evenly into the large bowl of flour, then reached out and picked up a fat chicken leg, carefully wrapping it in a layer of fine dry flour.

After completing this step, she did not stop there, but picked up the chicken leg that was already coated with a layer of dry flour, and gently placed it into the thin paste carefully made of egg liquid, flour and various seasonings, so that the chicken leg was once again tightly covered.

Next, the chicken legs were coated with a third layer of dry flour and then slowly placed into the boiling oil pan for frying.

Witnessing this series of operations, Xu Xiaomin couldn't help but feel puzzled, so she asked, "Comrade Lin, why can't we coat the chicken legs with more batter at once? Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster this way?"

Hearing Xu Xiaomin's question, Lin Man smiled slightly, her hands moving in an orderly manner, and responded softly:

"We coat the chicken thighs in flour multiple times so they have an extra crispy texture. You'll find out for yourself when you try it later."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaomin quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, let's leave these delicacies for the children to enjoy!

Comrade Lin, I am only three years older than you. You don't need to use honorifics for me."

After hearing this, Lin Man's face lit up with a friendly smile, and she responded, "Okay, Sister Xu, if you change your mind later, you must try it. This chicken is really big, enough for everyone to share."

Xu Xiaomin nodded, "Okay, let's try it later and fry it for the kids next time."

As long as the nanny is willing to learn, Lin Man is naturally willing to teach. If the nanny cooks delicious food, they will have a feast, right?

Ten minutes later, Lin Man took out all the fried chicken from the pot and put it in a small dustpan.

She said to the children, "You can take it out now. I'll clean up the kitchen. You guys go eat first."

Xu Xiaomin, who was standing nearby, said, "Comrade Lin, let me serve the oil!"

"No, Sister Xu, go eat first. Put the oil in the jar when it cools down. I'll clean the stove and come out after washing my hands."

As soon as Xu Xiaomin left, Lin Man suddenly discovered that the chicken heads and intestines in the trash can were gone, but the vegetable leaves were still there. She felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it.

After washing her hands, she left the kitchen. When she returned to the dining room, she saw Huo Yining had divided the chicken legs, giving one to his grandfather and one to his father.

Seeing Huo Yian being so well behaved, Huo Li put the fried chicken leg back into his bowl and said, "An'an, you guys can eat the chicken leg by yourselves. Your dad and I will just drink the chicken soup."

When Huo Yian saw his father put the chicken leg back into his sister's bowl, he picked up the chicken leg and gave it to his brother, "Smell it, here's the chicken leg for you!"

"Thank you, second brother." Huo Yiwen accepted the fried chicken leg with a smile.

Lin Man slowly sat back in her seat with a smile on her face, then gently stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a chicken wing and a chicken breast, and placed them in the bowl in front of her second son Huo Yian.

Then, she turned her gaze to her grandfather who was sitting in the main seat, and picked up a piece of chicken breast for him with the same skillful and gentle manner, and said softly:

"Grandpa, this chicken breast has no bones. You can try it without worry. It tastes very different from stewed chicken!"

"Okay, okay, I'll try the fried chicken too."

At this moment, Lin Man noticed that Xu Xiaomin didn't touch the fried chicken, so she quickly picked up the last piece of chicken wing and put it in her bowl, and greeted her enthusiastically: "Sister Xu, you should try it too!"

Xu Xiaomin looked up at Lin Man gratefully, a shy blush on her face, and said softly, "Thank you!"

After saying that, she picked up the chicken wing and took a small bite. She was instantly overwhelmed by the crispy and delicious taste and couldn't help but chew it in big mouthfuls.

This was her first time trying this novel way of eating, and she couldn't help but marvel at how delicious fried chicken was.

While eating, Xu Xiaomin thought to herself: After the new house in her hometown is built, she will no longer have to worry about money. She will go home and kill the old hens she raised at home to make fried chicken, so that her children can also taste this new thing.

For some reason, she always felt that the fried chicken made by the hostess today was particularly delicious. Not only that, even the pot of delicious chicken soup was so delicious that it made people praise it endlessly.

The chicken soup is sweet and refreshing when you put it in your mouth. After you swallow it, it feels like a warm current quickly spreads throughout your body, making you feel warm all over and even have a wonderful feeling as if your blood is boiling.

She never expected that being a nanny in a rich family would give her such a good meal. It was much better than being a nanny in her eldest brother's house.

Go buy groceries tomorrow morning and stop by the machinery factory to see her husband and tell him that the owner is back.

Huo Li felt that the chicken soup tonight was particularly fresh and sweet. He drank two small bowls in a row and ate half a bowl of chicken.

"Xiao Man, where did you buy this chicken? The meat is so tender."

"Grandpa, I bought all the pheasants I saw. I'm busy next door and I'll kill them there and bring them back."

Huo Li joked, "You always run into people selling pheasants."

Lin Man and Huo Qingci looked at each other. Grandpa wouldn't suspect that Huo Qingci had a golden pheasant in his space, right?

Forget it, I'll put a few golden pheasants in Huo Qingci's space later and let him deal with grandpa.

The next day, after the children finished breakfast and went to school, Xu Xiaomin also went out to buy groceries with her basket. Before buying groceries, she said to Lin Man, "Comrade Lin, I plan to go to the machinery factory to see my husband after buying groceries. By the way, I plan to ask him to take the box of snacks you gave me yesterday back to the children."

"Oh, I see! Since you want to see your husband, I'll give you another box of snacks!"

Xu Xiaomin waved his hand, "No need, why would a grown man like him eat snacks?"

Lin Man thought about the twenty or so fried dough sticks she hadn't finished eating this morning, so she went back to the kitchen, picked up four of them, wrapped them in oil paper, and handed them to her.

"Then take some fried dough sticks and give them to your husband! Let him have a taste of your fried dough stick skills."

Xu Xiaomin was afraid that Lin Man would discover the bag of chicken intestines and chicken heads under her basket, so she subconsciously took a step back. Finally, she took the fried dough sticks embarrassedly, thanked her, and left.
