Mom actually put so much oil in it! Will all the oil at home be used up today? Peng Yitiao covered his mouth. Mom really hasn't been acting like a mom since yesterday!
The meatballs were already cooked. When the skin of the meatballs was slightly yellow, she scooped them out twice, put them in two bowls, and sprinkled a small amount of cumin powder on them.
"It's time to eat." Zhang Siyu looked at the children staring at the bowls motionlessly, brought them to the table with the bowls, and then picked up San Tiao. "Eat a few first. Mom will cook another portion and put some noodles in it later."
And noodles! Peng Yitiao and Peng Ertiao seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and their eyes turned to their mother at the same time.
Mom is so nice today! Not only did she fry fish balls, she also made noodles!
Is mom going to eat all the delicious food, and then... Some bad thoughts suddenly popped up in Peng Yitiao's little head.
Mom always says she wants to go to the sea with Dad. She was crying yesterday morning, and she became very strange at night...
"Mom." Peng Ertiao called softly, his long eyelashes wet.
"Hmm?" Zhang Siyu was happily chopping celery, adding some dried shrimps and celery, and the flavor was just coming out. "Er Tiao, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating?"
Peng San Tiao held the chopsticks in his little black paws and looked at his two brothers, somewhat bewildered and lost. But his brothers seemed to be about to cry, so should he cry too? "Woo woo?"
Zhang Siyu walked over and helped San Tiao put a fish ball on the fish, then held him in her arms.
"Do you feel it's hot? Mom will blow on it for you." Zhang Siyu took the chopsticks and helped thread one of the two chopsticks.
"It's cold..." Peng Sandiao stopped "wuuuu" and sat in Zhang Siyu's arms, took a bite of the hot and fragrant fried fish balls, and shook his little feet happily.
"Mom, why did you suddenly make so many delicious foods?" Peng Yitiao stared at his mother nervously with his dark eyes, his eye sockets a little red.
Peng Ertiao also stared closely, not wanting to miss any expression on his mother's face.
"Because I want to make it for you. Mom has thought about it, and the past is in the past. Now, Mom just wants to raise you to be plump and healthy!
So, rule one, rule two, you all need to eat more in the future. And rule three, you also need to eat more to avoid getting sick, okay? "
Zhang Siyu touched the heads of several children, and ripples appeared in her heart.
She suddenly became different, which seemed to scare some of the children.
Peng San Tiao nodded somewhat confusedly.
Peng Yitiao and Peng Ertiao looked at the gentle expression on their mother's face, their dark eyes rolled around, and they held back the tears that were about to flow out.
Is what Mom said true? But Mom really said it very seriously, I really want to believe Mom!
Peng Yitiao blinked and said, "Mom, if we eat more, we'll eat up everything in the house."
"No. Didn't we eat anything recently? We saved a lot of money. This money is enough for us to eat delicious food for a long time..."
Besides, there’s the sea in front of our house and the mountains behind it, so we can never eat it all. So, eat as much as you want!” Zhang Siyu patted his shoulders, as if entrusting him with an important task.
Peng Yitiao and Peng Ertiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Alright, eat quickly. You should eat the fried fish balls fresh out of the pan." Zhang Siyu saw Xiao San Tiao finish a fish ball quietly, helped him skewer another one, and then let him sit by himself. "Mom will go make noodles."
Peng Ertiao took a big bite of the fish ball and his eyes widened like copper bells.
It was so delicious! This was the best fish ball he had ever eaten!
Super delicious!
Peng San Tiao took small bites of the fishballs. Seeing his big brother eat one by one, he was stunned. "Slowly, slowly..."
The celery had been chopped, and Zhang Siyu put about 30 fish balls into boiling water, and then added a handful of dried shrimps.
Dried shrimps are the least valuable thing on Sanshi Island. Every household has them. There are not many other snacks on the island. When children are greedy, they grab a handful of dried shrimps and put them in their pockets to lick and chew them.
Finally, sprinkle a handful of very finely chopped celery. She took this from her three-bedroom apartment and only used a little bit.
Because Sister Yumei also had a portion of fish balls, I didn’t use too much chopped celery, just to enhance the flavor.
Fish balls are already very fragrant, and when dried shrimps and chopped celery are added, the aroma spreads everywhere.
A dozen men who had just returned to the shore were so stunned by the aroma that they couldn't move their feet.
"Hey, who's making fish balls? Why are they making fish balls before Chinese New Year?"
"It seems to be from the Aiqing family..."
"From the Aiqing family?" Several big men looked at Peng Aihai and Peng Aishan vaguely, and were secretly surprised.
The Aiqing family actually bothered to make fish balls during the holidays? The sun is rising from the west. Could it be that those guys from An Island are coming?
But I heard that her parents sent another big package, which must contain meat. Maybe when people arrive, they will smell the meat.
What a wonderful family! Every holiday there are big packages sent to me. It's just a pity for Aiqing... Everyone sighed and went home.
When Yu Dali returned home, he saw a bowl of fish porridge and two big sweet potatoes on the table. He couldn't help but think of the fragrant smell of fish that came from Aiqing's house on the way home, and he suddenly became angry.
"Can't you cook better? You've been cooking for over ten years, and this is the crap you've made?"
"What's wrong again? What's wrong again?" Xu Xia came over with a fried egg, walked around the two adopted daughters standing at the edge of the table, and placed it steadily into her son Yu Xiaolong's bowl.
Yu Dali frowned when he saw Xu Xia's actions. "Can you make more eggs?"
Seeing that his father's brows were tightly furrowed, Yu Xiaolong couldn't help but stop eating the eggs.
"Make more, make more! Where can I make more? A pound of eggs costs 68 cents, and there are only eight of them. I've been eating them for a month, and there's only one left. I'd like to make more, but can you give me the money?"
Xu Xia patted her son's head and said, "It's okay, Xiaolong, eat it. Mom made it especially for you."
"Then you can't always let Xiaolong eat alone. Fry two eggs at a time so everyone can have a bite."
Why should I eat alone? That doesn't make sense.
Yu Dali took the egg from his son's bowl. As a father, I work hard all day and don't even have anything to eat. Why should the son eat it?
