Yang Chao and Yang Qian were warmly welcomed. Even the two birds and the dog were surrounding them. Zhuifeng was howling loudly, trying to show off his presence.
Dabao showed off, "Brother Chao, sister Qian, look, this is my Zhuifeng, so cute."
Then he said to Qiqi and Huihui, "Hurry up and learn how to howl to chase the wind. When you learn it well, I will give you delicious food."
When Qiqi and Huihui heard this, they stood in front of Zhuifeng, stretched their necks and howled, their voices exactly the same as Zhuifeng's.
Zhuifeng was confused again. He stopped howling and running. He stared blankly at Qiqi, then at Huihui, with an extremely confused expression.
Yang Chao and Yang Qian laughed so hard that they stamped their feet.
Chen Afu secretly complained, looking at Zhuifeng's silly look, he is not a bodyguard to protect the family, but a cute pet. It seems that Jin Yanzi's vision is not necessarily accurate.
Uncle Yang, Lidong, and Mother Huang took out many things from the carriage, including five pounds of mooncakes, five pounds of apples, two pieces of meat, and two rouge geese from the Xile Restaurant.
Chen Ahfu invited the two children to the new courtyard, and asked Dabao, Alu, the two birds and the dog to play with them, and brought them fresh dates to eat. Chen Ming chatted with old Uncle Yang and drank tea, while she followed Wang, who had returned from town, to the kitchen to work.
The dates soaked in the morning were ready, so Chen Ahfu fished them out and cut them with a knife, but not completely, to take out the core. He then added sugar water to the glutinous rice flour and kneaded it into a soft glutinous rice ball. He pinched a small piece of the glutinous rice ball into a long strip and stuffed it into the chopped red dates. He put half a bowl of water in the pot, added an appropriate amount of rock sugar, and after it boiled, he put the glutinous rice and red dates into the pot and continued to cook.
While she was doing all this, Wang was frying white sesame seeds in a small pot nearby.
The laughter of the children and the sounds of the two birds and the dog could be heard from time to time in the kitchen, which made Chen Ahfu feel extremely satisfied and sweet. In her previous life, she had longed to have a lively home.
Especially after she turned 30, she often dreamed of a room full of children. In her half-awake state, the children's laughter would linger in her ears. She wanted children, wanted to have more children, both boys and girls. Even though she was not married in her previous life, she was dissatisfied with the one-child policy. Later, the policy was relaxed to allow a second child, and she was secretly happy. But she lost her life... Fortunately, she has a baby in this life.
Her eyes were filled with mist, like tears or steam from a pot.
After a quarter of an hour, she opened the lid of the pot and the glutinous rice dates had absorbed their juice. She then sprinkled in osmanthus and sesame seeds and stirred them evenly.
The glutinous rice and red dates were really sweet and fragrant. Chen Ahfu tasted one and thought it was much better than what she had made in her previous life. Wang and Chen Ming also tasted it and nodded repeatedly, saying it was very delicious.
Chen Ahfu took a small plate to the new courtyard to feed the children, not wanting them to eat too much as it was almost noon. He took another plate for Uncle Yang, Lidong and Mother Huang to eat.
The glutinous rice and dates were highly praised by everyone. Chen Ahfu smiled secretly, it seems that this snack is not available in this era.
After the children finished eating, they still wanted more. Chen Ahfu said, "I will make some more for you to take home. But you can't eat it now. It's almost time for lunch."
Both children nodded obediently.
Because they came late, I made sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and dates, so the lunch was simple. I made golden pork chops, Kung Pao pork cubes, black fungus and pork slices, stir-fried green beans, radish soup, and cut half a rouge goose. I also steamed a bowl of minced meat and egg custard, which was made specifically for the little girl Yang Qian.
A Lu led the children to eat, Mother Huang held Yang Qian and fed her, and Chen Ming drank with Old Uncle Chang.
Because it was marinated for a short time, the golden pork chop was not very delicious, but the children all praised it as delicious. Especially Yang Chao, who said that their restaurant did not have such delicious meat.
Not to mention the children, even Wang was puzzled. The lean meat tasted dry and tasted dull, but after her daughter cooked it, it tasted so good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and looked golden. She didn't expect that the simplest steamed bun residue could be made into something so delicious and beautiful.
A few days ago, foodie Chen Afu recalled the golden pork chops from his previous life. Thinking that spare ribs and lean meat are cheaper than fat meat in this era, he wanted to make this dish.
There was no modern bread crumbs in this era, so she decided to make steamed bread crumbs instead. The morning before yesterday, she specially steamed white flour buns and had two left. After drying them, she cut the buns into small pieces, put them into an iron pan and fried them on low heat until they were hard and golden brown. Then she put them on the chopping board, crushed them into crumbs with a rolling pin, and then sifted out the coarse particles with a sieve, which became homemade bread crumbs.
He also told Mrs. Wu that this was called fine bran and asked her not to tell anyone how to make it.
She made the fine bran, put it in a small porcelain jar, and sealed it with wax.
It's just that she was busy these two days and hadn't waited to buy lean meat or ribs. Just then, Yang Chao and his sister came and brought some tenderloin, so she made this dish. As she expected, it was the children's favorite. She also gave this dish a new name that suits this era, Golden Smooth Meat.
Chen Afu and Wang did not eat with them, but made some glutinous rice dates for them to take back to eat.
When Yang Qian heard that Aunt Chen was making dates for them again, she ran to the kitchen and said, "Aunt Chen, could you please make more? These dates are delicious, and Qian wants Daddy and Grandma to eat more."
The little girl was wearing a green embroidered boa, white shorts, and a small bag with a green ribbon tied on her head. She had a plump and rosy face, big, watery eyes, and spoke in a soft and sweet voice. She was so adorable.
Chen Afu likes pretty girls, but the ones he has known in his life are all bad boys. There is a Chen Daya, and because of Hu's relationship, she is unwilling to provoke that child. So, when she saw Yang Qian's little appearance, she liked her to her heart.
And if she only feeds her father and grandmother, she must be another child without a mother. No matter what era, a child without a mother is pitiful.
Chen Ahfu went over and squatted down and smiled at Yang Qian, "Oh, Qianjie is such a filial child. Okay, Auntie Chen will make more. Not only for your father and grandmother to eat more, but also for Qianjie to eat more."
After hearing what Chen Afu said, Yang Qian grinned and said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Chen."
Huang's mother followed and said with a red face, "Sister Qian, please stop saying that. It makes people laugh." She smiled at Chen Ahfu and said, "Miss Chen, my sister is joking."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Mother Huang, you are too polite. Sister Qian is a child who speaks without restraint and is very filial. Uncle Yang is lucky to have such a good daughter."
This made Huang Mama laugh. Huang Mama was Yang Qian's wet nurse.
After dinner, Huang's mother, Old Yang and Lidong said that it was time for them to leave. The two siblings cried together, not wanting to leave, as they hadn't played enough with Dabao, Qiqi, Huihui and Zhuifeng.
