Chapter 86 Lying Down Anywhere
"Mom, I also want to eat the goose stewed in an iron pot and some pancakes." Wu Hongbing shouted, pulling Wen Zhaodi's hand.
"Eat a hammer." Wen Zhaodi, who was jealous to the point of madness, rarely got angry at her beloved son.
It was the first time that Wu Hongbing was yelled at by his mother. He was stunned at first, then he lay down on the ground, rolled over, kicked his legs and screamed.
"Woo waaa, I want to eat the goose stewed in the iron pot. You don't keep your word. Woo waaa, bad mother, bad mother..."
Wu Hongbing howled at the top of his lungs. The neighbors nearby heard the sound and came out of their homes to take a look.
Seeing Wu Hongbing rolling around on the ground and making a scene again, they all looked at Wen Zhaodi with a look of indignation.
Wen Zhaodi spoiled her youngest son too much and was reluctant to scold or beat him, which led to Wu Hongbing lying around and defecating whenever he didn't get what he wanted.
Although many people spoil their boys in their families, Wen Zhaodi is the one who spoils her son the most in the entire military family compound.
Wen Zhaodi was a person who cared a lot about her reputation. When the neighbors saw her son in this state, she blushed with embarrassment.
I could only squat down and coax my son, "Eat, eat, eat. Mommy will buy you a big goose to eat. You get up first."
"I won't get up, wuwu, you don't keep your word..." Wu Hongbing rolled on the ground again, rolling a little further away.
Wen Zhaodi saw the dirt on his body and her eyes twitched wildly, "Grandpa, I just changed you into clean clothes this morning. Mom was wrong, Mom apologizes to you, please get up quickly, my grandpa."
Wu Hongbing stopped rolling and sniffed his black snot. "I also want to eat candied haws, two strings." He stretched out two fingers and negotiated the conditions.
Wen Zhaodi gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay."
Only then did Wu Hongbing let his mother pull him up.
Wen Zhaodi wanted to save face, so of course she couldn't just take her dirty son to the market. She went home, changed into clean clothes, and washed her face.
By the time they arrived at the market, it was almost time to close, and the vendors selling candied haws and poultry had all packed up their stalls.
Wu Hongbing made a scene at the market, and Wen Zhaodi bought him two kilograms of egg rolls and two kilograms of apples to calm him down.
Everyone at the market shook their heads. They heard that they were from a military family home, and they said that how could a soldier's child be spoiled like that? If their own sons dared to make such a fuss, they would have slapped them in the face long ago.
At eleven o'clock, Yu Hui put on an apron and went to the kitchen to cook.
At noon, she planned to make a steamed egg, stir-fry some water spinach, make some sweet and sour pork, and boil some kimchi vermicelli soup.
The sour and spicy kimchi vermicelli soup is especially appetizing in summer, and people here love to cook it this way.
"You can also make sweet and sour pork? This is a Northeastern dish." Gu Huai, who came into the kitchen to help, was very surprised to hear that she was going to make sweet and sour pork.
This time when he went to Beijing, he ate sweet and sour pork in a Northeastern restaurant.
He doesn't like sweet and sour dishes, but he still thinks it tastes good.
"There are educated youth from Northeast China who came to our village, and I learned from them." Yu Hui found a suitable reason for her ability to cook Northeastern cuisine.
Gu Huai nodded. He had heard from his mother that several educated youth from the Northeast had come to the village. They were all very tall, and all the men were as tall as him.
Whether in his hometown in the countryside or here, Gu Huai's height is considered quite outstanding. There are not many people as tall as him.
Knowing that she wanted to stir-fry the water spinach, Gu Huai took a small colander and took the water spinach to the living room to sort it.
The two brothers Gu Nan and Gu Xi, one holding a telescope and the other holding a kaleidoscope, showed them to Bei Bei, making the little girl giggle.
After draining the rice and pouring the rice soup into a basin, Yu Hui poured a lot of rapeseed oil into the pot.
When the oil is hot, throw the meat slices that have been marinated and coated with sweet potato starch into the pot one by one.
Authentic sweet and sour pork is made with potato starch. We didn’t have potato starch at home, only sweet potato starch brought from the countryside, so Yu Hui used sweet potato starch.
As soon as the meat slices are put into the pot, the aroma attracts the greedy cats.
Gu Nan and Gu Xi stood by the stove, standing on tiptoe and looking into the pot.
Gu Nan could still see a little bit, but Gu Xixi couldn't see anything no matter how much she tilted her head back and stood on tiptoe.
Gu Huai brought in the washed water spinach, holding Beibei in his other hand.
"Mommy, eat, eat..." Beibei shouted when he saw Yu Hui.
"You can't eat it yet. The meat isn't ready yet."
"Can't we eat it after frying?" Gu Xixi asked, swallowing her saliva.
Yu Hui stretched out her index finger and shook it at him. "No, you have to fry it again and stir-fry it with the sauce."
Gu Nan: "What a hassle."
“Delicious food is always troublesome. If you want to enjoy delicious food, you have to be able to wait.”
Gu Nan: “…”
He felt that it didn't need to be so troublesome.
Fry the meat slices until golden brown, then fry them again in the pan, this time for a shorter time.
Leave some oil in the pan, add shredded green onion, ginger, and carrot, stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the fried meat slices, stir-fry twice, and add the sauce prepared with white vinegar, sugar and other seasonings.
As soon as the sauce is put into the pot, the high heat instantly brings out the sour and spicy aroma.
People who smell the fragrance begin to secrete saliva in their mouths.
Before serving, Yu Hui added coriander, and a delicious and beautiful sweet and sour pork was ready.
Gu Nan and Gu Xi couldn't wait to taste it. The sour, sweet and crispy taste was exactly what children liked.
The meat was so delicious that it was too hot in their mouths and they were reluctant to spit it out.
Beibei didn't get to eat it because the sweet and sour pork was a bit strong in taste.
The little girl was always unhappy and even dropped some golden beans. Gu Huai had to coax her for a long time before she calmed down.
At noon, Beibei’s supplementary food was rice with egg custard. When she saw her brothers eating sweet and sour pork, she wanted to eat it too.
"Mom, I want..." Beibei pointed at the sweet and sour pork with his little spoon and looked at his mother pitifully.
"No, Beibei can only eat this meat when she is two years old." Yu Hui was ruthless and would not show any mercy to her pitiful daughter.
Little Beibei pouted and looked at his father as if he was about to cry.
Gu Huai scooped a spoonful of egg without soy sauce for his daughter, "Beibei, eat more rice. When you grow up, you can eat sweet and sour pork."
When his mother-in-law and he were taking care of the first three children, they started eating meat with their parents after they started eating meat. They didn't tell the children to eat less oil, less salt, or no sugar.
But Gu Huai believed that Yu Hui restricted Beibei's diet for her own good. After all, if Beibei ate the same way as them, it would save her some trouble.
Beibei looked at his father, then at his mother, and lowered his head to eat his rice in big mouthfuls.
Beibei should eat more and grow up quickly so that he can eat lots of delicious meat.
Gu Dong loved the sweet and sour pork he had for lunch so much that he showed it off to the Yu Jianshe brothers on the way to school in the afternoon.
Yu Lixin drooled just by listening to his description. When he heard that they were going to eat a goose stewed in an iron pot in the evening, he wished he could be Aunt Yu's son.
"Gu Dong, Aunt Yu is so good to you, you must cherish her." Yu Lixin patted Gu Dong's shoulder and said earnestly.
