Su Keke was alone in the kitchen, listening to books on her phone. She had downloaded hundreds of suspense novels before the natural disaster, but had forgotten to listen to them.
Now I am cooking and listening to novels at the same time.
Last night before going to bed, she watched a video on her tablet. It was a food variety show she had downloaded before. There was a video in it where an aunt from a farm house taught the variety show guests how to cook delicious food.
The aunt said that this noodle dish is called mian gnocchi, which is delicious and filling, and even a kitchen novice can easily make it.
Su Keke became excited when she heard that even a kitchen novice could cook delicious food.
Last night she studied the video of making dough dumplings over and over again, thinking that she could show off her skills to Grandma Qiao at noon today.
At this moment, Su Keke had already kneaded the dough according to the instructions in the video, and prepared some side dishes while waiting for the dough to rise.
Su Keke prepared some chopped green onions, pork belly, green vegetables, carrots, etc. according to the side dishes in the video.
When the dough was almost done rising, she prepared to boil water. While the water was boiling, Su Keke found herself a pair of disposable gloves. She would wear them when she picked up the dough lumps with her bare hands.
Follow the steps in the video and you can make the dumplings after the water boils.
Although in her previous life, Su Keke had already learned how to cook home-cooked meals from Grandma Qiao.
But in this life, she basically has no chance to cook independently, and Grandma Qiao always tells her to just wait for food!
This was Su Keke's first time making noodles. Just kneading the dough, she ended up with flour all over her hair, face, and clothes.
She even sprinkled a lot of flour on the kitchen floor. If Grandma Qiao saw it, she would definitely feel sorry for the flour.
Just to make this meal of noodle dumplings, Su Keke spent more than an hour in the kitchen.
Grandma Qiao was waiting anxiously in the living room, wondering what delicious food Su Keke could come up with in such a mysterious way.
Driven by curiosity, Grandma Qiao would go to the living room door and take a look at the kitchen from time to time.
Tangyuan was full and had taken a one-hour nap, but Grandma Qiao and Su Keke hadn't had lunch yet.
Just then, Su Keke's voice was finally heard from the restaurant.
"Grandma Joe! Come to the restaurant for lunch!"
"Okay! I'll be there right away!" As soon as Su Keke finished speaking, Grandma Qiao couldn't wait to walk towards the restaurant.
"You are... a pimple?"
Grandma Qiao asked as she picked up a piece of dough that was thicker than a chopstick.
"Grandma Qiao, you have such a keen eye! You guessed it right at once! Come and try it. Is it delicious?"
Su Keke's eyes were shining, and her flour-covered face was full of anticipation.
How can I put it! The dough dumplings made by Su Keke look pretty good even without being picked up.
In addition to noodle dumplings, green vegetables, carrots and pork belly, the big bowl also has a meaty aroma in the thick soup. With a sprinkle of chopped green onions, it tastes good just by looking at it.
Grandma Qiao ate the first piece. The texture was... the surface was soft and chewy, but the inside was sandy and there seemed to be a lot of powdery particles.
"Coco! Your dough is not cooked yet, right?"
Grandma Qiao showed Su Keke the dough she had just bitten half of. It was indeed not cooked inside.
"I...I forgot to taste it first to see if it was done. I just followed the timing taught in the video."
Su Keke looked at Grandma Qiao a little embarrassedly, and she also picked up a piece of dough and put it in her mouth.
Indeed, the middle part was not yet cooked. "It's over! I spent so much time preparing lunch and still can't eat it."
Su Keke was secretly depressed.
"How about we eat something else first? I still have a lot of cooked food in my space!"
Su Keke said to Grandma Qiao a little embarrassedly.
She looked at the two bowls of steaming and delicious noodle dumplings on the table and felt a little disappointed.
"Oh!" Su Keke sighed, and then said faintly, "Who said that a kitchen novice can make delicious food! Come out now! It tastes good, but the key is that it's not cooked!"
Su Keke was so angry that she wanted to throw away the two big bowls of noodles, but fortunately Grandma Qiao stopped her.
"You kid! It's the end of the world now, how many people still don't have enough to eat! You can't waste food like this. Give it all to me, and I'll make these dough balls ripe in no time."
Grandma Qiao asked Su Keke to sit in the dining room, and she went back to the kitchen with two bowls of noodles.
In fact, it is easy to cook these noodle dumplings. Just pick out the noodle dumplings in the bowl and cook them in boiling water.
Grandma Qiao waited for the water to boil, and when she put the dough balls into the pot again, she used a spatula to poke them in two so that they would cook faster.
The failure of Su Keke's two bowls of noodle dumplings was that the dough was made too thick, so it was not easy to cook.
After Grandma Qiao’s further processing, the two were finally able to eat the delicious dough dumplings.
"Oh! I feel like such a failure! I can't even cook a bowl of noodles properly! The aunt in the video said that even a novice can do it!"
Su Keke felt a little dejected, as she couldn't even reach Xiaobai.
"I think it tastes great! Come on, drink some soup. I just cooked the noodles a little longer. Nothing else changed."
"Next time you make gnocchi, remember to make the dough thinner so that it can absorb the flavor and cook faster."
After hearing what Grandma Qiao said, Su Keke quickly took a sip of the soup with a spoon.
The soup is thick but not salty, and the combination of pork belly and vegetables makes it fatty but not greasy. "It's so delicious!" Su Keke blurted out.
"If it tastes good, drink more! Our Coco is also a great cook!"
Grandma Qiao, who had a very low emotional quotient, quickly cheered up the depressed Su Keke.
Su Keke also left a few pieces of pork belly for Tangyuan, saying that she would give it to Tangyuan when he woke up.
The meal you make must be shared with the cute Tangyuan!
After lunch, the two watched a movie in the living room to digest the food.
The afternoon sun has shifted to the sofa in the living room.
Su Keke, Grandma Qiao and Tangyuan were all lying on the sofa basking in the sun, and everything seemed so beautiful.
However, when you first arrive in a strange place, you still have to be cautious.
Su Keke expanded the surveillance range of the capsule house again.
Now, as long as someone climbs up from the surrounding cliffs, Su Keke will know it in the capsule house as soon as that person sets foot on the grass.
"Keke! Come! Play chess with grandma!"
Grandma Qiao took out a chess set from under the coffee table, and the two of them began to place their respective red and white chess pieces on both sides of the Chu River and Han River.
In fact, Su Keke only knew half of the chess game, and sometimes the horse's position would be wrong. Grandma Qiao would always point it out to her and then ask Su Keke to play it again.
Anyway, Su Keke is always the general.
After being checked so many times, Su Keke no longer likes playing the whole game of chess.
"Grandma Qiao! Let's play half a chess game! Half a chess game depends entirely on luck. This way I have a chance to win. It would be meaningless if you always win when playing the whole game!"
Su Keke suggested with a smile, because the current chess game was that she was in check again!
