Chapter 433 Devouring
Ye Qian was speechless: "No, Ningning, even if you don't mean it, can you look at your mother and say it?"
"Ah." Ningning raised her head and looked at Ye Qian innocently: "Mom, what are you talking about? Mom, what are you going to cook tonight?"
This kid. Ye Qian looked at Ranran and Xixi who were giggling at the side, and said helplessly: "A chicken wing and chicken leg with potatoes, a water tofu base, sprinkled with freshly boiled beef, spicy and sour, and then use pork belly and cabbage stewed with vermicelli." Ye Qian learned how to stew cabbage with vermicelli after coming to Beijing. She had never eaten it before, but she didn't expect that these three kinds of stewed noodles were quite delicious. Later, it became a common dish at home.
"Is it spicy?" Xixi looked at Ye Qian and asked with a frown.
Ye Qian taught her to use the word "Mi Mi La" to describe something slightly spicy. It sounded so cute, Xixi fell in love with it. Every time she cooked, she would ask for it to be "Mi Mi La." "Yes, it's Mi Mi La. It's not good for children to eat too much spicy food."
"We are not children." As soon as Ye Qian finished speaking, the three children said to Ye Qian at the same time.
"Yes, you are the older ones." During Chinese New Year, she argued with her three children for an entire afternoon over the issue of younger and older children. Her throat was sore by the evening, so the memory was particularly deep. Ye Qian would not continue this topic. After saying this, she took the dishes and went to the kitchen.
After cooking the rice, I started to prepare the dishes. All three dishes were quite simple, except for the chicken wings and potatoes, which took a little longer to prepare. The potatoes had to be stewed until they were soft to be delicious.
It is very simple to make boiled beef and tofu. First, boil the tofu in water and break it up. Then stir-fry the boiled beef with other ingredients, put it in the boiled tofu and drizzle with hot oil.
Cabbage stewed with vermicelli is even simpler. First, fry the meat, then add the cabbage and pre-soaked vermicelli, and then add some water and boil it.
Then Ye Qian fried some pine nut corn, which was sweet and Xixi liked it very much.
Recently, Ye Qian has fallen in love with eating rice crust. Whenever Aunt Lan cooks, she always simmers the rice for a while longer, allowing a layer of rice crust to form on the bottom before serving it up. After eating tasteless rice crust twice, she started to make various rice crust dishes: stir-fried, stir-fried with crispy bones, stir-fried with peanuts, one dish after another.
But today, she didn't buy any other ingredients. She used the stir-fried dried shrimps at home to make a rice crust and then stood out. She could eat a large bowl of rice or sweet potatoes for dinner.
The dishes were ready, and when Ye Qian was serving them out, she realized that Gu Jinyan had returned. Seeing Ye Qian coming out of the kitchen with the dishes, she quickly took the dishes from her hand and said, "You cook today.
"Yes." After saying that, Ye Qian asked the three children at the table, "Have you finished your homework? Do you want to eat first or finish it first and then eat?" She usually lets the children choose for themselves on such matters. If they have a lot of homework, they will choose to eat first and then do it. If it is not much, then they can wait a while. It's all fine.
"Eat now, we're done." After saying that, the three children quickly put away the homework on the table.
So neat? "Are you sure you're done?"
"I've really finished it. How hard can homework be?"
Ye Qian nodded. Although she rarely asked about her children's studies, she still looked at their test papers. The three children's grades were all quite good. However, it didn't matter if they had good grades in elementary school. After all, the schoolwork was simple. It would take until junior high and high school to see how they were doing. "Clear the table and come and serve the food."
Things like this, which are within your ability, should be done by yourself. You shouldn't develop the habit of just asking for food and clothes. The job of washing the dishes at home has been assigned to Ranran. At first, Ranran was very reluctant, and Ningning was laughing at the side. But Ye Qian saw through her and said, "Ranran is older, you wash first. Tomorrow, Ningning and you can take turns washing dishes."
The smile on Ningning's face disappeared instantly, "No, Mom, I'm still young."
"Go to school and ask whose children don't do housework at home." The two brothers remembered Ye Qian's words and asked their classmates after school. They found out that these students not only had to wash dishes, vegetables, and clothes at home, but also did all the other housework. The two brothers were stunned. "I didn't know there was such a thing before."
"Yes, yes."
Then the two brothers accepted their fate and washed the dishes together, dividing the work. Ranran washed and Ningning rinsed, and then they put them back to the kitchen together.
After two days of washing, the brothers felt something was wrong again, so they asked Ye Qian, "Why are there only two of us washing? Why doesn't Xixi have to do housework?"
Ye Qian glanced at the two brothers and said, "Because Xixi is a girl, is it appropriate for a girl's hands to do housework? What if they become rough? Also, have you asked your father? Does he agree to let Xixi do housework?"
Of course Gu Jinyan would not agree. The whole family saw how much he doted on Xixi. As long as Xixi asked for something, he would agree. In the past, when he came back from business trips, he would forget to bring gifts for the two boys, but he never forgot Xixi. Fortunately, with Ye Qian's support, Xixi did not go astray. Even if she did not do housework, she would accompany her two brothers and cheer them on in a soft and sweet voice.
This scene makes people laugh and cry no matter how they look at it.
After the three children finished their homework, they came to the kitchen, washed their hands first, and then served themselves some rice.
Maybe because of her influence, the three children are more or less a little bit of mysophobia, but it has no impact on their lives. Being clean is a good thing.
After serving the food, we went to the living room to eat. If it was summer, we would usually set up a table at the kitchen door and eat there, but the weather was still a bit cold now, and the food would get cold too quickly if we ate outside, so we got used to eating inside.
The children all enjoyed the meal very much when Ye Qian cooked. Aunt Lan cooked in whatever way was convenient and the dishes she made were relatively simple. Even though the dishes in the space tasted good, they had become too monotonous after eating them for so many years. From time to time, Ye Qian would come to add a meal and make something different, and the children would eat with great enthusiasm.
My hand was shaking a little just now, and I put a little too much chili in the tofu and beef, but it tasted really good. The children couldn't stop eating even though it was spicy. Ye Qian stood up and poured them each a glass of cold water, "Don't let your snot run into the bowl."
After Ye Qian finished speaking, the three children wiped their faces with paper and said, "Eat some corn. This one is not spicy, it's sweet."
"Um."
Pine nut corn mixed with rice tastes great too.
They wolfed down the meal quickly, and there were still some rice crusts left. Ye Qian put them in a small bowl and left them outside as snacks for a while.
