A half-grown chicken is not big to begin with, and becomes even smaller after being washed and cut into pieces. There is not much meat either, barely enough for one meal.
Jiang Yue decided to make braised chicken.
First, add bean paste, ginger slices and garlic to the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add chicken pieces and stir-fry until the skin is slightly browned. Then add cooking wine, soy sauce and boiling water, simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes, then turn to high heat to reduce the sauce, and finally add green onions and green and red pepper segments and stir-fry evenly.
Before adding the green and red pepper segments, Jiang Yue scooped out a few pieces for Ningning, otherwise Ningning would not be able to eat it after the peppers were added.
While Jiang Yue was cooking, Gu Ye and Ningning were picking vegetables under the osmanthus tree in the yard. Ningning learned the trick very well, but her waste rate was a bit high. Gu Ye had to pick up and pick again the vegetables she threw away.
Ningning ordered scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Jiang Yue fried some lettuce and meat slices, stir-fried cauliflower, and finally added a green vegetable and meatball soup, and lunch was ready.
Although it is just an ordinary home-cooked dish, the one made by Jiang Yue is very tempting with its color, aroma and taste. In fact, this is also related to Jiang Yue's unusually sensitive sense of smell, which can be regarded as a talent.
After dinner, as usual, Gu Ye washed the dishes, Jiang Yue wiped the table, and Ning Ning swept the floor with a small broom. If you ignore the seemingly calm but actually tense relationship between Jiang Yue and Gu Ye, this harmonious scene of a family of three can be voted as the most beautiful and happy family.
Jiang Yue had just wiped the table and was about to go out to wash the rag when she turned around and saw Ning Ning raising her little hand and walking towards her happily, shouting, "Mom, mom, look what I caught!"
Ningning just happened to walk up to Jiang Yue, and raised the two little hands right under her eyes as if offering treasures.
Jiang Yue was completely unprepared. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the black thing in Ningning's hand. Then, after she saw clearly that it was a cockroach, her head buzzed and her scalp exploded.
"Ah! Gu Ye!"
Gu Ye had just finished washing the dishes and put them on the kitchen table when he heard Jiang Yue's throat-piercing scream coming from the main room. His heart shuddered and he took a few quick steps and hurried over.
As soon as he reached the door of the main hall, Gu Ye saw Jiang Yue rushing out and throwing herself into his arms. He could feel that she was trembling.
Gu Ye's eyes suddenly froze. What happened to make her so scared?
"What happened?" This time, Gu Ye did not push Jiang Yue away. He hesitated with his hands, and even hugged her and patted her on the back.
For some reason, he felt a surge of heat in his heart.
"Look at Ningning's hand! Ah, it's so scary!" Jiang Yue buried her head in Gu Ye's chest, her voice trembling.
Ningning's hand? Gu Ye was confused. Was Jiang Yue so frightened by the thing in Ningning's hand?
"Ningning?" Gu Ye looked at Ningning, "What did you take?"
Ning Ning seemed to be frightened by Jiang Yue's sudden scream. She stood there not daring to move. When she heard Gu Ye's question, she blinked and stretched out her hand, "It's Chong Chong!"
When Gu Ye saw that Ning Ning had caught several dead cockroaches, the corner of his mouth twitched.
No wonder Jiang Yue was so scared! The last time she saw a cockroach, she jumped right on him.
"Where's that hand? Let daddy see it too!" Seeing that Ningning's other hand was also behind her back, Gu Ye raised his chin and motioned Ningning to stretch it out.
Ningning obediently stretched out her other hand, and sure enough, she caught a few dead cockroaches.
Gu Ye's handsome face turned pale. "Ningning, didn't your dad teach you not to grab anything on the ground? Especially dead bugs, they are very dirty! Go throw them away!"
"Okay, Dad."
"Woo woo, Ningning, remember to wash your hands. Use soap. Wash them ten times!" Jiang Yue closed her eyes, and the image of Ningning's little hands holding the dead cockroach was still in front of her eyes.
Jiang Yue heard Ningning's footsteps going out. She realized that she was still holding Gu Ye, so she quickly let go of her hand and took two steps back.
She didn't look at Gu Ye, but stretched her head to look outside, "Ning Ning, where did you throw the cockroach?"
"In the dustpan." Ningning was squatting beside the basin, washing her hands carefully, counting as she washed, "Mom, I washed once!"
"Wash it clean, we will need to disinfect it later!" Jiang Yue first took a look in the dustpan. There were several dead cockroaches lying all over the place. Their antennae were still shaking in the wind, giving her the illusion that the cockroaches would revive at any time.
Jiang Yue shuddered and quickly retracted his head.
"Gu Ye, can you help me check where there are other dead cockroaches?" Jiang Yue touched the goose bumps on her arm. If this happened in her previous life, if a cockroach appeared in her house, she would definitely find a cockroach extermination company to do a thorough disinfection.
"Okay!" Gu Ye picked up the broom and first swept every corner and base of the walls in the main room. He actually swept out a few dead cockroaches at the corner of the back door.
"Inside!" Jiang Yue pointed to her room.
Since getting married, Gu Ye has hardly ever entered Jiang Yue's room. The only two times in the past six months were when Ning Ning picked up the correspondence between Jiang Yue and her male classmate. He went in once, and the second time was when he spread cockroach poison last time.
Gu Ye remembered that Jiang Yue's room was very simply furnished. In addition to the wardrobe and chest of drawers he had prepared for the wedding, she had added a bookshelf. He was deeply impressed that Jiang Yue didn't like to tidy up. Her bed was always messy, and she would just throw her clothes on the chair after wearing them.
When he spread the cockroach medicine, Gu Ye hurriedly spread it and came out without looking at it for long.
However, this time, when he walked into Jiang Yue's room again, he found at a glance that there were many more books on the bookshelf. The high school textbooks that she regarded as treasures were all piled at the bottom, and several thick history books were placed on the table.
In addition, there were two large camphorwood boxes under her bed.
The bed was also clean. Although the quilt was not folded, it was neatly laid out. Most importantly, there were no dirty clothes thrown around.
Jiang Yue didn't know that Gu Ye was looking at her bedroom at this moment, let alone what he was thinking. If she knew that her original self was such a sloppy image in Gu Ye's mind, she would definitely jump up and refute: This is a smear! A blatant smear!
She has been a clean person in both of her lives!
Because his sense of smell is different from that of ordinary people, Jiang Yue simply cannot tolerate himself being dirty, and will not allow the surrounding environment to be dirty.
Jiang Yue stood at the door and did not go in. She watched Gu Ye bend down and sweep out from under the wardrobe. When Gu Ye swept every corner and the base of the wall, he actually swept out a lot of dead cockroaches.
"Gu Ye, your medicine is really effective. There are so many dead cockroaches. This means that the cockroach nest has been destroyed!" Jiang Yue saw so many dead cockroaches, estimating that there were about twenty or thirty cockroach corpses. Although Jiang Yue felt disgusted, he still felt a sense of accomplishment.
"I specifically resisted the urge to sweep the floor just to catch them all at once!"
But Jiang Yue changed her mind and realized that she had been sleeping in the same room with so many dead cockroaches these days, and she was immediately disgusted again.
Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Ye sweeping away all the cockroach corpses.
