Chapter 332: Overeating (Part 1)
"Eat it yourself, mom has more." Xixi looked at the table, confirmed that there was still some, and then took her hand back.
Ranran and Ningning ate without even raising their heads. Ye Qian shook her head, thinking that her daughter was indeed considerate.
The daifuku that Ye Qian made was really "big". After wrapping it up, it was much bigger than the palm of an adult's hand. After eating one, several children wanted to eat more. Ye Qian was worried that they would feel too full, so she cut a towel roll into three pieces and let the three of them share it.
The three children looked a little resentful, but they didn't dare to say anything. They kept eating the towel rolls and never took their eyes off the table. Ye Qian was speechless: "Why should I care about these? Save them for tomorrow. We need to eat something else later."
Anything else?
The three children were a little skeptical. This was already delicious, so why would there be anything else? Seeing their disbelief, Ye Qian ate the daifuku while muttering, "Fried chicken legs, fried chicken cutlets, oh, and small fries."
"Mom, what are French fries?" Ningning asked.
"It's fried shredded potatoes, it's delicious." Ye Qian said.
They didn't know if fried potato shreds were good, but stir-fried potato shreds were delicious. They ate them all the time, especially recently, and they couldn't get tired of them. His thoughts returned to the past: "Fried chicken legs, fried chicken cutlets," Ranran asked. He vaguely remembered that he had eaten them when his younger siblings were still breastfeeding and couldn't speak, but he wasn't sure, so he asked, "Mom, have I eaten them?"
Ye Qian thought about it and it seemed like she had eaten it before. At that time, she was so greedy that she wanted to eat fried food. Gu Jinyan had no choice but to get up in the middle of the night and secretly fried a few chicken legs for her. In order to show that she would not eat alone, she specially left a few for Ranran to eat the next day. When Ranran asked her about this, she seemed to really remember: "I think I have eaten it before."
Ningning was not happy about it. Why did his brother eat it but he didn't? "Mom, you are partial. You gave it to my brother and not to me."
Without waiting for Ye Qian to explain, Ran Ran replied angrily: "You were still drinking milk at that time. You couldn't eat it even if I gave it to you. You don't have any teeth."
Ye Qian also nodded quickly: "Yes, you didn't have teeth, so you couldn't eat it. Now you can eat it."
Ningning asked Ranran: "Brother, are fried chicken legs delicious? I've only eaten stewed ones. Do fried ones taste good?" At this point, he said with a sad face: "Of course they are delicious. Fried things must be delicious. They smell so good." After saying this, he looked greedy, which made Ye Qian want to drool. I don't know who this child looks like and why he is so greedy.
After Ye Qian finished her daifuku, she looked at the time and saw that it was already past 4 o'clock. Gu Jinyan would be off work soon, so she went to the kitchen and poured half a pot of oil into the pot. If there is not enough oil, the food will burn easily, and it will not taste good.
After the oil boiled for a while, Ye Qian threw in a few French fries to test the oil temperature. When it was ready, she put the chicken legs in first and fried them. After the chicken legs were fried until golden brown, they were all picked up. Then she put the chicken fillets into the pan and fried them until golden brown. Fried food like this needs to be fried twice. Frying it once will not be cooked at all. After a long time, even if the outside is burnt, there will still be blood inside.
After taking out the chicken fillet, pour the chicken legs in. After frying, fry the chicken fillet again before starting to fry the French fries.
The French fries were just cooked and Gu Jinyan was about to pick them up when he came back. Seeing Ye Qian busy in the kitchen, he immediately put down the bag in his hand, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen to help.
Ye Qian glanced at Gu Jinyan behind her and said, "I've already prepared it. We can eat it soon. Don't touch your hands anymore, so as not to get them dirty." Gu Jinyan looked at the fried food next to him. Seeing that what Ye Qian said was true, he also stopped touching his hands and said, "Next time I'll do it when I get back. The oil is so hot, what if you spill it and get burned?"
Nowadays, pots are embedded in the stove, so it is really difficult to get them out and burn her. Ye Qian also understood Gu Jinyan's intention: "I'm at home and have nothing to do. There are some sweets on the table. I'll cover them with a warm cloth. You can eat one first." Bread like this will easily become hard if left in the space. She didn't have a packaging box or lid. Anyway, it was for her family to eat, so it didn't matter if she covered it with a cloth.
Dessert? Gu Jinyan vaguely remembered having had it a few years ago, and it tasted pretty good. Later, Ye Qian got too lazy to make it, so he didn't get to try it. There were no such desserts available elsewhere. Gu Jinyan turned and went to the living room, where he saw a few children playing games next door. He saw the cloth on the table, and when he opened it, he saw the dessert he had eaten a few years ago.
Gu Jinyan was not polite and took a big Fu and started eating. Sure enough, the taste was still the same, but the fruit inside was more delicious. Gu Jinyan finished one in a few bites and then went to the kitchen to help Ye Qian serve the dishes.
Ye Qian had used a few sheets of kitchen paper under the plates to absorb the oil. There was a plate of chicken legs, a plate of chicken cutlets, which had been cut into small pieces, and a plate of French fries. She also prepared a small plate with a generous amount of ketchup on it, and then let Gu Jinyan carry it out.
Ye Qian scooped up the oil from the wok in a basin. Gu Jinyan came back and said, "Give it to me. I'll do it." He was afraid that Ye Qian would accidentally burn herself and wanted to throw her out of the kitchen. Ye Qian was pushed aside and said helplessly, "Just leave a little oil. I'll make a sauce for dinner later."
They were eating this today, which was definitely enough for the children, but not enough for them, so Ye Qian had already been steamed with rice, and some sauce was made and poured over the rice to make chicken rice. Then she fried some cabbage to relieve the greasiness, after all, they were all fried foods.
Gu Jinyan followed Ye Qian's instructions, leaving a little oil in the sauce. Then Ye Qian began to prepare the sauce. After the sauce boiled and thickened, Ye Qian poured it directly over the rice and served it out. Everyone got a bowl. Everyone was a little unsure how to eat it, so Ye Qian directly put the chicken cutlet into the bowl, mixed it, and started eating. (See Japanese pork cutlet rice).
Ye Qian didn't serve much rice to the three children, just a mouthful of rice to help them get rid of the greasiness. They finished a plate of chicken legs, a lot of French fries, and half of a chicken fillet mixed with rice. They usually ate too much at the main meal, so today it was more enjoyable to eat like this.
The children were so full that they leaned back in their chairs. Ye Qian went to get another bottle of Coke. It would be a shame to eat fried food without Coke. She thought the children couldn't drink any more, but when the Coke was brought out, each of them drank a large cup.
She was so full that she couldn't sleep at night. It was 10 o'clock and she still didn't go to sleep across the street. Ye Qian took the children to jump rope at the door. It was really torture. After the children fell asleep, she complained to Gu Jinyan, "I won't do this anymore."
Gu Jinyan obviously didn't believe it, and he didn't answer Ye Qian's words, lest he get her angry and end up having to comfort her. He wasn't that stupid. But Ye Qian sensed it, "You don't believe it, do you?"
