Chapter 55: Bringing Sweets

Sure enough, Wen Miao's craftsmanship is not to be underestimated.

After everything was ready, Wen Miao put the chicken that Wen Qingzhou had taken great pains to chop into pieces into the pot, added water, and after the water boiled, he blanchd away the blood foam and impurities, then took out the chicken pieces and set them aside.

Next, cut the potatoes and green peppers into pieces, add the peppercorns, white sugar, etc. into the hot oil and fry until fragrant, then add the blanched chicken pieces and stir-fry until they change color.

Add scallions, ginger, salt, soy sauce, pepper, aniseed, and cooking wine, and simmer for 20 minutes. The water should cover the chicken. More water will make it more flavorful. Add potatoes and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes. At this time, pour in green peppers and dried peppers. They serve to color the food, and the spicy taste mainly comes from the dried peppers. Stir-fry a little and it's ready to serve.

After that, we add some cooked belt noodles and the delicious big plate of chicken is ready.

"Wen Miao, isn't your explanation too detailed?" Wen Qingzhou was dazzled by Wen Miao's series of operations and his head was almost confused.

"Didn't you tell me that you wanted to learn how to make this dish? If I don't explain it in detail, can you learn it?" Wen Miao said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right!" Wen Qingzhou scratched the back of his head.

"Then - have you learned it?" Wen Miao looked at Wen Qingzhou meaningfully.

"I—no." Wen Qingzhou rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"Which step did you forget? I can tell you again." Wen Miao concealed the smile in his eyes and spoke seriously to Wen Qingzhou.

"Wen Miao, I... I actually don't remember any step clearly. Doesn't this look like a mess?" Wen Qingzhou said guiltily.

"...Qingzhou, it seems that you are really not interested in cooking. Are you just watching out of boredom?" Wen Miao said, shaking his head.

"Haha, Wen Miao, did you figure it out?" Wen Qingzhou said embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's put this aside for now. Let's clean up the dishes and have dinner." Wen Miao raised his lips and said.

"Okay."

Want to eat? Wen Qingzhou was the most enthusiastic.

...After eating and drinking, Wen Qingzhou and Wen Miao said goodbye and went home for a nap.

Wen Miao did the same. He went upstairs to sleep for a while. After waking up at three o'clock, he made a cup of tea and then went to work.

The work was a bit tiring, and when Wen Miao got up from his computer desk, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"It's terrible."

Wen Miao had just said this in a low voice when he heard a knock on the door.

"You're back already?"

"Are you dissatisfied that I came back too early?" Wen Shuzhou asked Wen Miao with a smile.

"I guess so. I haven't cooked dinner yet!" Wen Miao let Wen Shuzhou in and told the truth.

"It's okay, let's do it together." Wen Shuzhou said softly.

"Okay, what to eat?" Wen Miao stretched his arms and muttered softly.

"How about some malatang? Didn't you just eat some delicious malatang yesterday? With your cooking skills, you should be able to make it, right?" Wen Shuzhou said, turning his head halfway.

"You trust me so much?"

"Of course."

"Malatang? Okay, let me see if all the ingredients are in the refrigerator!" Wen Miao said and went to the kitchen.

"How? Can you do it?"

"I can do it. Come and wash the vegetables."

"good."

...Before dinner, Wen Shuzhou went to the garage. When Wen Miao came out of the kitchen with spicy hot pot, Wen Shuzhou handed him a box.

"What is this? Is it for me?" Wen Miao asked.

"Well, open it and take a look." Wen Shuzhou said with a mysterious smile.

"Is this... a mousse cake? How do you know I like this kind?" Wen Miao was surprised by the delicious little cake in the box.

"Qingzhou told me. I happened to pass by after get off work, saw it, and bought it." Wen Shuzhou said lightly.

"Qingzhou's mouth... But thank you." Wen Miao thanked sincerely.
