Chapter 453: Child marriage, you can name the price for the bride price! (1)
After eating till he was about 80% full, Huaqiangbei crossed his legs and sat down in Jiang Ning's original seat.
In front of him was a charcoal stove, an iron plate, and batter.
He was wearing a floral shirt and deliberately lifted up his sleeves, looking as if he was about to show off his skills.
"Do you want to eat the meatballs I made?"
Hua Qiangbei raised his eyebrows at the four little guys and asked proudly.
Tongtong's puzzled eyes fell on Huaqiangbei.
Sui Sui also looked at Huaqiangbei with the eyes of a weird uncle. (Although he is indeed a weird uncle.)
Yaya also looked unconvinced and asked loudly.
"Uncle Hua, can you make meatballs?"
Hua Qiangbei nodded confidently, "Of course! It's not difficult at all!"
He remembered clearly the steps that Jiang Ning took to make the meatballs.
Isn’t it just pouring the batter first, then adding the shrimps, and then pouring the batter again.
What you need to do in the middle is to move two bamboo sticks back and forth.
It’s so simple, there’s nothing wrong with it!
Huaqiangbei is so confident.
However……
The four little guys in front of him still had a half-believing and half-doubting look on their faces, and they didn't have the trust they had when facing Jiang Ning at all.
In the end, Yaya is cheerful and kind.
She took the initiative to order.
"Uncle Hua, I want a round little meatball."
"Okay! Princess Yaya's request will definitely be met. I'll make a round little dumpling right away!"
Hua Qiangbei patted his chest vigorously.
Immediately following.
He started making it right away.
The first step is to pour in the batter.
Huaqiangbei started to make mistakes at this step.
He had no idea of the strength of his hands, and poured too much batter at the beginning.
But fortunately it's not a big problem.
After a flurry of tidying up, it was barely acceptable and not much more.
After Huaqiangbei finished the process, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Next is to add the shrimp.
This step is easy.
"One, two, three... Uncle, am I putting them in order? Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes when I run the code. Now I'm just checking the numbers, and there won't be any mistakes!"
Tongtong watched from the side and listened to Huaqiangbei's proud words.
The little boy thought to himself, it’s just adding shrimps, he can do it too!
After the shrimps are neatly arranged.
You need to wait for a while before you can introduce new batter.
When the semicircular balls solidify to a certain degree, they can be flipped successfully.
But the heat and time in between.
Huaqiangbei has absolutely no idea.
He couldn't figure out how much time Jiang Ning had spent just now.
Anyway…
Never mind!
Try it first.
You won’t know if there are any bugs until you try it out.
Huaqiangbei imitated Jiang Ning's actions and held a bamboo stick in both his left and right hands.
Then, he began his ambitious "journey".
He picks and he turns!
But the batter for the meatballs didn’t solidify at all, it was just a soft lump and couldn’t be turned at all.
Tongtong, Yaya, Suisui, and Momo.
Four pairs of eyes were watching Huaqiangbei's actions.
I watched him mess up the batter.
Huaqiangbei did not turn the meatball, but accidentally picked out the shrimp in the middle of the meatball.
"ah!"
Bang!
The shrimp flew up and fell to the ground with a plop.
"Ah, it's shrimp..."
Tongtong let out a sigh.
What a waste of delicious shrimp.
At this time, Huaqiangbei already felt that things were getting out of his control.
But he didn't give up.
"This... this is practice! This is my first time, so failure is normal. The next one will definitely be fine, definitely fine!"
Huaqiangbei took a deep breath.
The second challenge begins.
He learned from his first failure and waited patiently for a while while counting numbers.
"We've waited so long, the batter must have solidified by now! Let's get started!"
Four pairs of eyes were all focused on Huaqiangbei's hands.
He picks!
He turns!
With a snap.
This time the shrimps didn’t fly out, but the meatballs stuck to the iron plate and couldn’t turn at all.
Huaqiangbei took a bamboo stick and used brute force.
Finally... the bamboo stick broke.
Huaqiangbei's entire body, with his arms hanging in the air, was completely motionless.
His face showed embarrassment and confusion that a child couldn't understand.
The adult world is collapsing.
Yaya blinked her big watery eyes and took the initiative to remind Huaqiangbei.
"Uncle Hua, why did you break the bamboo stick?"
"The bamboo stick is broken...broken...yes, yes, yes! It's the bamboo stick that's bad! Uncle Hua, please try again. This time it will definitely work. Uncle Hua will definitely make round little meatballs for Yaya to eat!"
Huaqiangbei was not discouraged and continued to work hard.
The third one...
The fourth one...
The fifth one...
…
Huaqiangbei held his breath and concentrated, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He just sat there, but his whole body was stiff.
All the strength of the body is concentrated on two small bamboo sticks.
but……
Chibi Maruko, still not one.
Not to mention a round one, there isn't even one that's barely formed.
Instead, the entire iron plate was covered with batter, making it a mess.
Huaqiangbei still didn't stop. He stared with his eyes fixed, looking very aggressive. He didn't believe that he couldn't succeed!
This time, even with a full beard, it couldn't hide the look of him gritting his teeth.
Yaya finally felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
She spoke quietly.
"Uncle Hua, I...I don't want to eat dumplings anymore! Please don't do it."
"No! Uncle Hua must make it for you today—"
Hua Qiangbei's voice tightened and he squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
Just in time.
Jiang Ning came over again.
Her clear voice became the savior of Huaqiangbei.
"Mr. Hua, why don't you let me do it?"
When Huaqiangbei heard this, he immediately lost all his strength and jumped up.
"I'm not lucky today. I'll try again another day. Forget it this time. Yaya, don't worry, Uncle Hua will definitely make you some plump little meatballs!"
"Yeah, Uncle Hua, Yaya will be waiting."
Only the naive Yaya would take Huaqiangbei's words of self-consolation seriously.
After Jiang Ning sat down again.
She first sorted out the iron plate that was messed up and dirty by Huaqiangbei, then cleaned it and brushed it with oil...
Every movement is in order.
It's quite pleasing to the eye.
Huaqiangbei was watching in amazement.
After trying it myself, I realized that what Jiang Ning did, although seemingly simple, was actually all skill.
and--
"Damn it! I forgot to oil it!"
Huaqiangbei finally discovered the bug that caused his failure.
