Chapter 55 French fries, taro fries, or rat fries?
The price was indeed a bit expensive. Gu Huai thought about it and felt that Xiaohui had been working hard to take care of four children at home alone for more than a month. He gritted his teeth and decided to buy the dress.
"Please get me the smallest size for this skirt." Xiao Yu is thin and can only wear the smallest size.
"Captain Gu is really willing to do this." Wang Yang said in a low voice.
Zhang Cheng had an expression of surprise. It seemed that Gu Huai and his new wife had a pretty good relationship.
Not only was he willing to buy her such an expensive dress, he also knew her size.
He has been married to his wife for five or six years, but he still doesn't know what size she wears.
"Ah, ha, ha..." Yu Hui, who was frying pork ribs in the kitchen, sneezed twice in a row.
She rubbed her itchy nose and took a deep breath. The garlic pork ribs were so fragrant.
After receiving Gu Huai's salary and the monthly ticket from the army yesterday, Yu Hui went to the market early this morning and bought two pounds of pork ribs. She made the fried garlic ribs that the children love to eat.
Gu Dong had not returned from school yet, and the three little ones were standing in front of the stove, staring eagerly.
That’s right, three.
Ever since Beibei started practicing walking on the mat, it's as if the little guy's blood has awakened, and he walks with his legs clattering cutely.
She wasn't just walking on the mat on the ground; she wanted to go anywhere with her little legs.
He was either following his two little brothers or his stepmother Yu Hui, and he walked steadily.
I hugged her, but she didn't want to because she felt too hot.
Smelling the aroma of fried pork ribs in the kitchen, she followed her two brothers into the kitchen. When she couldn't cross the threshold, Gu Nan hugged her.
"Mommy, it smells so good, eat it..." Beibei tilted his head back, his saliva dripping onto his clothes.
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi also kept swallowing their saliva.
Yu Hui looked at the three little greedy cats with amusement, "They're not fried yet, we have to wait a while."
Beibei: "Hurry up..."
She also urged him to do so.
After the ribs were fried, Yu Hui took them out of the pot and put them on a plate, but she did not give them to the three children immediately. Instead, she asked them to wait and let them cool down before eating.
At the same time, the steamed French fries were also put into the pan for frying.
Garlic fried pork ribs are of course better paired with French fries.
The French fries were fried and the ribs were almost cold. Yu Hui gave one piece to Gu Nan and one to Gu Xi.
Beibei tore the tender meat from the ribs and gave it to her to eat. Yu Hui always put little salt in food for children, so the meat here had even less salt.
The ribs were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of garlic aroma and umami flavor. Gu Nan and Gu Xi finished them in just a few bites.
Yu Hui also fried bitter melon and eggs, and stir-fried water spinach, then brought the food to the main room, waiting for Gu Dong to come back for dinner.
"I'm back." Gu Dong shouted as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard.
Yu Hui saw Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin passing by the courtyard gate when they came back with Gu Dong, and called out to them.
"Jianshe, Lixin, come here." Yu Hui stood at the door of the main hall and waved to the two brothers Yu Jianshe.
When Yu Lixin saw his Aunt Yu calling him, he was delighted and was about to go in immediately. But as soon as he took a step, someone grabbed his wrist.
He turned his head and frowned at him, but was glared at in return.
Yu Lixin's shoulders slumped. His brother was so annoying. It was Aunt Yu who took the initiative to call them.
"Aunt Yu, my mother has already prepared dinner. Let's go back and eat." Yu Jianshe said to Yu Hui who was inside the door with a smile.
"I know I won't keep you for dinner. Please come in. If you don't come in, you'll be disrespecting Aunt Yu." She knew that Yu Jianshe was a very sensible child, and he would not come in if she didn't say so.
Yu Jianshe: “…”
Yu Lixin shook off his hand and went straight into the yard.
Yu Jianshe pursed his lips and followed him in.
Yu Hui gave them a piece of fried pork ribs with garlic flavor and a bag of French fries wrapped in oil paper for them to take home and eat.
The two brothers thanked him and left.
Qian Lan of the Yu family had just put the food on the table when she saw her two sons coming back. She asked, "What did your Aunt Yu ask you to eat?"
She was just in the kitchen when she heard Xiao Yu calling her two boys.
"Mom, Aunt Yu made fried pork ribs for us, they smell so good, and she also gave us French fries." Yu Lixin waved the French fries wrapped in oil paper in his hand towards his mother. A piece of pork rib was only as long as a finger, and the two brothers had finished eating it before they even walked to the Gu family's yard.
"fries?"
Yu Jianshe: "Use potatoes cut into strips and fried?"
Frying potatoes with oil would waste a lot of oil.
"No, it's fried with potatoes, shouldn't it be called taro strips?"
Yu Jianshe: “…”
He also thought it should be called taro strips, "Aunt Yu called them French fries anyway."
Qian Lan looked at her two sons and said, "Your Aunt Yu is so good to you. She always thinks of you when she has something delicious. You have to protect your brothers and sisters and help them if you see anything that needs them."
Yu Jianshe nodded.
Yu Lixin: "Even if you didn't tell me, Mom, we would still protect Gu Dong and the others and help Aunt Yu."
On the way to school after a nap at noon, the two brothers Gu Dong and Yu Lixin met Wu Chao and others again.
Wu Chao smelled the aroma of French fries with his nose pointed, and asked Gu Dong what delicious food he had hidden.
Gu Dong took out the French fries wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and let them each eat one.
Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin also brought some in their bags, thinking they would eat them when they were hungry in the afternoon. But when they saw Gu Dong take it out, they didn't take anything out.
After eating one, Wu Chao and his friends were still not satisfied, so they shamelessly asked Gu Dong to give them another one.
Zhou Dabao saw it and stared at the French fries in Gu Dong's hand.
Rat strips, he remembered.
His father always said that he should build good relationships with the children living in the small Western-style buildings in the military family compound, mix into their circle, and play with them.
He had tried to approach them and show his goodwill, but Wu Chao and his group ignored him.
Wu Chao and his friends loved eating rat strips so much that they begged Gu Dong to give them some. If he went back and asked his grandfather to make it and then distributed it to Wu Chao and his group, they would definitely take him to play with them.
After school in the afternoon, Zhou Dabao rushed into the cafeteria kitchen with his schoolbag on his back.
"Old Zhou, your grandson is here."
Chef Zhou was making braised pork when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw his precious grandson.
"Dabao, it's time to go home from school. Go find a table outside and do your homework. Grandpa will have someone serve you braised pork rice with an egg later." Chef Zhou said to his precious grandson with a loving face.
"Grandpa, can you make rat strips?"
"Rat strips?" Chef Zhou frowned. Why did this kid think of rat strips?
"Yes." It's just that I haven't made it for many years. After all, life is getting better and better now, and few people eat rats anymore.
Zhou Dabao's eyes lit up, "Grandpa, can you make me some rat strips today?"
He made it today, and tomorrow morning on his way to school, he would wait for Wu Chao and the others at the intersection and share some food with them.
"I'm afraid it won't work today. I'll make it for you on Saturday and Sunday when I'm resting." To do this, we need to catch some field mice in the fields in the countryside.
