594: Making Stew
Xiao Wang looked at Bai Zhi and sincerely apologized, his attitude completely different from how he treated his parents. "I was indeed impolite today. I had already allowed you to ride your bike, but you left it there with the key in the ignition, and I just couldn't resist the urge to touch it."
He shrugged as he spoke.
Bai Zhi quickly said, "It's alright, it was my mistake."
Bai Zhi felt both annoyed and fearful.
The city is safe, and she often parks her motorcycle in front of her house, so she often forgets to take the keys out of the ignition.
Today was no different. As soon as she parked her car, Mr. Wang greeted her at the door. She was busy taking things out of the car and was momentarily careless.
However, this also taught her a lesson.
From now on, safety should be the top priority in everything you do in this area.
You must not be careless.
Wang Fenglian looked at Bai Zhi, feeling quite embarrassed, and apologized again, "Xiao Bai, don't mind, please check if the car is alright."
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I look perfectly fine."
"Buy me a motorcycle, I can ride one now."
After finishing his sentence, the rebellious Xiao Wang went straight into the store.
Wang Fenglian looked at her son's irritating back and wished she could sew her mouth shut.
She shouldn't have spoken so quickly and criticized that brat.
Now it's great, I can just ask her for the motorcycle.
The key question is, what right does a dropout like him have to ride a motorcycle? What would he do on a motorcycle? Go out and become a thug?
Bai Zhi also noticed that Wang Fenglian was in a bad mood because of her son, so she said, "Boss Wang, Sister Wang, we'll be going now. I'll come over with my boyfriend another day and treat you to dinner."
Mr. Wang readily agreed, "Okay, we're friends now. Once you've finalized the shop deal, let's get together sometime."
"no problem."
Bai Zhi carried Ye Qingbai back home.
Bai Zhi said to Ye Qingbo, "Cousin, shall I take you directly back to your unit?"
"It's still early. I have free time all day. Let me come to your house. Can you cook me a nice meal?" I haven't been back to my cousin's house since I got injured.
He hadn't felt at home for a long time.
Do you have the time?
Ye Qingbai replied, "Yes, I just said that I'm coming out for rehabilitation, and I only get one day off."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? We'll buy some groceries in town and cook it back home."
"Let's make some stew," Ye Qingbai said after thinking for a moment. "I remember that bad dish you made last time was quite delicious; it tasted like home."
"That's easy."
We already have vermicelli and vegetables at home. Bai Zhi also bought a few side dishes in the county town.
Then I rode my motorcycle home.
The soul of this stew lies in the meatballs and fried potatoes.
In the past, when making stewed meatballs, I would usually use zucchini, but since it's not available this season, I can only use white radish.
As soon as she got home, she went into the kitchen to prepare a stew.
First, grate the white radish with a grater, put it in a basin, and squeeze out the water.
Then add flour, crack in eggs, and add seasonings.
Knead vigorously.
Finally, pour oil into the pot.
Squeeze the kneaded dough into small balls by hand and fry them in oil.
Bai Zhi is very skillful; she squeezes out small, round balls that fry until golden and translucent, looking like little golden eggs that are very appetizing.
After frying the meatballs, she cut the potatoes into small diamond-shaped pieces and put them into the oil to fry.
The vermicelli was soaked in cold water during this period.
While she was frying potatoes, Ye Qingbai was eating fried meatballs from a bowl next to her.
"Xiao Zhi, how come you can do everything? These meatballs are fried better than the chefs in restaurants, they're so delicious."
Bai Zhi put potato chunks into the pot, saying, "As long as you're willing to use plenty of ingredients, anyone can make it delicious."
Many people don't add eggs when frying meatballs. They mix radish and flour together and then add water, but she added only eggs. How could it not taste good?
It is both fresh and crisp.
"What about fried potatoes? I'll have a piece too."
Bai Zhi prepared the food in front, while Ye Qingbai ate it in the back.
Bai Zhi watched him stuffing fried potatoes into his mouth and slapped his hand away in annoyance. "Stop eating! You're full from all this. Am I still going to make the stew?"
"Just one more." Taking advantage of Bai Zhi's inattention, Ye Qingbai stuffed another meatball into his mouth.
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly, just as she was about to stop him from eating anymore, when there was a knock on the door.
Bai said to Ye Qingbai, whose mouth was full of meatballs, "Go and see who's here."
"Oh, okay," Ye Qingbai said, walking towards the door with a puzzled look in his eyes, "My brother-in-law shouldn't be off work yet at this hour."
When I opened the door, there was a little boy, about five or six years old, standing there.
It looked very well-behaved, and it was holding a bag of snacks in its hand.
"Little friend, who are you looking for?" Ye Qingbai asked, looking at the child at the door.
"I'm looking for Aunt Xiaobai." The person who came was Xiaowei. He looked up at the unfamiliar uncle and asked, "Uncle, who are you?"
"I am a People's Liberation Army uncle."
Upon hearing Ye Qingbo's words, Xiao Wei replied calmly, "I know, the people living here are all People's Liberation Army uncles."
"Come in, come in."
Bai Zhi was still busy in the kitchen when she called out with her back to the living room, "Who's here? Is it Xiao Wei?"
"Auntie Xiaobai, it's me. I'm here to give you acupuncture."
Xiao Wei had already run into the kitchen following the sound.
Ye Qingbai's eyes widened slightly in surprise upon hearing Xiao Wei's words.
How could they receive a patient, a child, even in the family compound?
"Auntie Xiaobai, I brought you some treats. These were given out at our kindergarten today."
Upon hearing Xiaowei's words, Baizhi smiled and asked, "Xiaowei, have you started school?"
Xiao Wei nodded, "Yes, I went to register today. Our teacher gave each child a small bread bag. I didn't eat it, so I brought it back for you. Aunt Xiao Bai, you can have it."
Bai Zhi was busy scooping fried potatoes out of the oil. "Thank you, Xiao Wei. You can eat them yourself. Aunt Bai is an adult. These are for the children."
Xiao Wei held up the bread and said crisply, "Adults can eat children's bread too."
Bai Zhi had no choice but to use one hand to take the bread from his hand.
Xiao Wei sniffed the air, stood on tiptoe to look at the stove, and said, "Auntie Xiaobai, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good."
"I have meatballs and fried potatoes. Let me get you some to try."
Bai Zhi put some meatballs and fried potatoes into a small bowl and handed it to Xiao Wei, saying, "Take this to the living room and eat it first. I'll give you acupuncture when I'm done with my work."
"Thank you, Aunt Xiaobai."
Xiao Wei came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl. Ye Qingbai stood there staring at him and asked, "Whose child are you?"
“I’m from the Zhang family,” Xiao Wei replied confidently.
After saying that, he sat down on the sofa and started eating.
The Zhang family's?
Ye Qingbai thought about it and realized that there were several leaders with the surname Zhang living in the family compound.
He was too lazy to guess and asked directly, "What's your dad's name?"
