The old man opened his palm and counted, there were exactly twenty-eight cents!
He hurriedly shouted in Peng Zhong's direction: "Little brother, you gave too much."
Tian An said, "Just take it, old man! He needs it urgently, and you solved his urgent need. This is his way of thanking you."
The old man looked at the copper coins in his hand, sighed, and walked back to the stall. After thinking for a moment, he wrapped the remaining six steamed buns in oil paper and gave them to Tian An and the others.
Knowing that the old man was honest, Tian An was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "You can't even find me here for change!"
The old man had his reasons: "That's your friend, he also came to buy your braised meat, I was just lucky enough to get a discount.
Business has been so good these past two days because of you guys that I made twice as many steamed buns today, and now there are only six left. Your braised pork is sold out, and I probably won't be able to sell all of my steamed buns either. Giving them to you means I can close the stall early!"
What else could Tian An say? He thanked the old man and took the steamed bun, thinking that he would find another opportunity to replenish the old man next time.
After returning to the courtyard, Tian An first chopped some pork ribs and stewed a pot of braised pork ribs. Then he looked at the steamed buns that the old man had, and thought of making some fried steamed bun slices!
The family had stored a lot of eggs during this period, and Tian An brought a lot of them to Daniu and the others.
Studying is the most demanding thing for the brain, and Chen Feng only knows how to cook noodles, so he definitely can't get enough nutrition. He can only use eggs to supplement. If all else fails, boiling eggs in plain water shouldn't be that difficult!
Tian An took out four eggs from a ceramic jar and cracked them into a large bowl.
I used a kitchen knife to cut the steamed buns that the old man had into thick slices. One steamed bun could only be cut into five or six slices.
After the steamed buns are cut, pour some cooking oil into the pot, but don’t turn the fire too high.
When the oil is almost hot, use chopsticks to pick up the steamed buns and put them into the egg liquid. After the steamed buns are covered with egg liquid, put them into the oil pan and fry them.
The steamed bun slices were put into the frying pan and fried until crispy in a short while.
The steamed buns are sweet to begin with, and when they are coated with egg liquid and fried in clear oil, the fragrance comes out immediately and fills the whole yard.
When Xiaokang came back and smelled the fragrance in the yard, he knew that his sister was making delicious food again. He went to the kitchen.
The well-off man arrived before the voice arrived: "Sister, what delicious food did you make today? I can smell it in the yard!"
Tian An held up the fried steamed bread slices and handed them to him: "This is the steamed bread slices I fried. The meal will take a while. Everyone is hungry today. You can carry it out and share it with everyone first!"
Xiaokang took the tempting golden fried steamed bun slices, his eyes sparkling.
"Sister, you're amazing! The steamed buns were already delicious, and after you fried them like this, they taste even better."
Xiaokang went out with the steamed bread slices, and just then Da Niu came back. They each got four or five slices.
After a while, Da Niu came back with two slices of steamed bread: "An An hasn't eaten yet! Come over here and have two slices to fill your stomach!"
Mangzhong's arms were very tired today, so Tian An let her rest and she made lunch herself.
Hearing this, Tian An, who was cooking, said, "Brother Daniu, please eat first! I'm cooking right now and can't spare any time for now."
Looking at Tian An holding a plate in one hand and a spatula in the other.
Da Niu took a few steps forward, held out the steamed bread slice in his hand to Tian An's mouth and said, "Eat it."
Looking at the steamed bread slices that were within reach, Tian An took a bite with great satisfaction. After finishing, he said, "The steamed bread slices that Brother Daniu fed me are really delicious!"
The corners of Da Niu's mouth curved up into a smile: "Are you bragging about yourself, An An? You fried the steamed buns yourself."
Tian An said with a curled lip: "If it weren't for Brother Danniu feeding me, I would have eaten the steamed bread slices after I finished my work. If they are cold, they will not taste good. So the steamed bread slices fed by Brother Danniu are delicious!"
This was the first time I heard of Tian An, the algorithm expert. It was quite fresh and I couldn't help but laugh.
Tian Ansheng turned around and saw Da Niu smiling with his lips curled up.
Oh my god! That smile is so beautiful! Tian An said that Da Niu's looks really touched her.
"Brother Danniu, you look so good when you smile. You should smile more often."
Da Niu was stunned, the tips of his ears turned red, and he hurried out after feeding the steamed bread slices.
…
When buying meat in the afternoon, thinking of the three big cows who had to eat noodles at least twice a day, Tian An bought two more pounds of hind leg meat.
I thought about making some maozi for them when I go back. It will be delicious if I add a little bit of it to the noodles. If I change different maozi frequently, I think they won’t get tired of it even if they eat it every day!
After buying the meat, I went to the grocery store and bought a pound of dried mushrooms.
After returning home, the others prepared the braised meat, while Tian An started making meat turtles for Da Niu and the other two.
Tian An soaked the dried shiitake mushrooms in water, cleaned them, and diced them. He also prepared some ginger and garlic.
The hind leg meat has skin on it, so Tian An first cleans the skin by roasting it in a dry pan before dicing the pork, separating the fat from the lean meat.
After heating the oil in the pot, Tian An first puts in the spices: cardamom, star anise, bay leaves and a piece of ginger.
After the aroma of the spices is fried out, add the fat and fry out the fat. When the fat is slightly golden, add the remaining lean meat and finally the mushrooms.
After it is cooked, add the sauce and stir-fry until it is fragrant, then add water and start stewing.
Add salt and a small amount of soy sauce to the soup. Since it is for making meat turtles, it should be saltier than a normal stew. Add some crushed rock sugar and stew until the meat is tender.
The spices fried together do not need to be fished out, they will taste better if they are soaked in the soup.
After the meat turtles were made and cooled, Tian An found a clay pot of similar size to put them in, ready to take them to Daniu and the others tomorrow.
Looking at the new meat sauce that Tian An had made, Mangzhong sighed, "It's such a blessing for the young master to be engaged to the young lady!"
Tian An was stunned: "How do you say it?"
Mangzhong looked at Tian An with admiration: "Young lady, you are very good at making money and cooking a lot of food. You will definitely satisfy the young master's stomach."
Tian An shook his head and said teasingly: "In the future, those who marry Mangzhong will be considered to have good vision and be blessed!
Every time I do something, we basically learn it after watching it once. If time goes by a little longer, you will learn all the things in my head. Don’t you think the man who marries you is blessed? "
Being teased by Tian An, Mangzhong blushed and said, "How can you learn it just by watching it once?"
After thinking for a while, he said, "No, Mangzhong won't marry. Mangzhong will always be with the girl and take care of her."
Tian An pointed at her red face and said, "Your face is as red as a monkey's butt, and you are still talking nonsense! I, your girl, will not be the evil person who ruins other people's marriages. If you like a man in the future, remember to tell me and I will speak for you."
Mangzhong covered his face and said, "Girl, I don't. Besides, what girl would take the initiative?"
Tian An didn't let her go: "You all know that you have to take the initiative, and you still say no?"
Mangzhong couldn't argue with Tian An, so he covered his face and walked out.
Tian An: "...too easy to tease."
