Chapter 200: Chilly and refreshing, sesame chicken cold noodles (2)
The hot oil splashed and continuously burned the minced garlic, sesame seeds and crushed peanuts in the dry ingredients.
Along with the crackling sound, an alluring and rich fragrance wafted out.
Smells so good!
Zhou Xiaohua suddenly felt that the chicken drumstick in her hand was no longer attractive. She looked up at the small bowl in front of Jiang Rou with her round eyes.
She wrinkled her nose and took a deep breath.
This fragrance is so sweet that it makes your nose fall off.
Even if you eat it with wild vegetable roots, it will definitely be delicious.
Even Zhou Xiaochuan, who was making a fire, couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma and stuck his head out to take a look at what Jiang Rou was doing.
real……
It smells so good...
The fragrant soul sauce is only half done.
After the hot oil has cooled down slightly, add two spoons of light soy sauce, a small spoon of white vinegar, and a spoon of white sugar.
And... a generous spoonful of peanut butter.
Peanut butter is thick and sticky, and has a very rich aroma.
After the peanut butter is mixed into the sauce, the original aroma will be thoroughly stimulated once again.
Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan swallowed hard at the same time.
There was only one word in his eyes.
I want to eat! When can I eat?
Shredded chicken, side dishes, and sauce are all ready.
The last one is the simplest and most important noodle.
Jiang Rou took out the hot buckwheat noodles, put them in a basin of cold water beside her, and rinsed them with cold water to cool them down quickly.
Then drain again.
Divide noodles into three portions and place into three large bowls.
Although Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua are children, their appetites are no less than Jiang Rou's.
Jiang Rou usually puts in about three or two pieces of noodles.
Then place shredded chicken, shredded cucumber, and shredded egg on top of the noodles.
White, green, and yellow.
Three colors, arranged in a circle.
Suddenly it looked very attractive.

Finally, pour the fragrant soul sauce on top and mix everything together.
You're done!
…
Five minutes later.
Jiang Rou sat under the eaves with her two children.
In front of me is a lush vegetable patch, and in my hand is a bowl of delicious chicken shredded noodles.
The early summer wind blew over, bringing with it a hint of dryness and heat.
But the noodles in the bowl are chilled.
It's like a watermelon in summer.
Cool and delicious!
for a while.
The small courtyard was quiet, with no sound of anyone talking.
The only sound was "rip-rip" of the noodles being sucked.
Sometimes, you can't even see Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan's faces.
Jiang Rou gave them a big bowl of noodles.
When they lowered their heads to eat noodles, their entire faces were buried in the bowl.
Only the pitch-black top of his head was exposed.
Especially Zhou Xiaohua.
When she raised her head from the noodle bowl, there was a cucumber shred stuck on her little face.
She stuck out her tongue, licked it, and then rolled the tip of her tongue into her mouth.
A real little greedy cat.
Jiang Rou looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile knowingly, and even she ate a little more.
The three of them had a great meal.
The desire for food and drink has been satisfied, but some unresolved issues still exist.
Jiang Rou asked Zhou Xiaochuan to take Zhou Xiaohua to rest for a while, and then go back to the room for a nap.
She was busy cleaning the small kitchen and doing the unfinished housework.
After a while.
Zhou Xiaochuan appeared again.
He looked at Jiang Rou with his bright eyes and said, "Xiaohua is asleep."
Zhou Xiaohua ate happily and slept soundly, and the little gluttonous cat turned into a little pig.
Jiang Rou put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands, looked at Zhou Xiaochuan, and talked to him seriously.
"Xiaochuan, why aren't you sleeping? Do you have anything to say to me?"
Zhou Xiaochuan still looked hesitant.
But this time, he did not turn away.
After frowning and thinking.
The boy finally asked, "That...school...did Auntie Lin agree?"
Jiang Rou felt relieved when she heard Zhou Xiaochuan say this.
She did not answer the question first, but gently touched Zhou Xiaochuan's face and rubbed his overly tense brows.
"Ogawa, you did a great job."'
Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled by the sudden praise, "Huh?"
"Xiaochuan, you should always tell me what you want and what you like. Although we live together and are familiar with each other, sometimes I will guess wrong."
"Not only will I guess wrong, but even your father and your friends will guess wrong. So it's best to speak out directly and let others know your true thoughts and understand what you like and what you don't like."
"Let me ask you now, was the sesame chicken noodles at noon delicious?"
Zhou Xiaochuan nodded without hesitation, "It's delicious."
This is the most delicious noodles he has ever eaten.
Jiang Rou continued to ask, "Xiaochuan, do you want to go to school?"
Zhou Xiaochuan obviously hesitated again.
In front of him were Jiang Rou's sparkling eyes, which were staring at him without blinking.
There was a moment.
Zhou Xiaochuan felt as if he was immersed in warm lake water. His whole body was light and his chest was soft.
Zhou Xiaochuan spoke without realizing it.
“…I thought so.”
Zhou Xiaochuan has some memories from his childhood in his mind.
He remembered the rare time his father came home and his mother was still alive, a scene that would occasionally flash through his mind.
His mother usually didn't like to talk, but she would always look at him with loving eyes, to see if he had grown a little taller or gained a little weight.
When there was no farm work, his father would sit by, doing carpentry work while talking to him and his mother.
"When my son Chuanzi grows up, I will send him to school. Dad has saved money for you and will send you to a school in town. The teachers there are very good, and some are college graduates."
"If you study, you can learn to read. If you can learn to read, you don't have to work in the fields all your life. My son Chuanzi is smart, he will definitely be able to learn it."
"First, go to the town to attend primary school, and then go to junior high school... Go far away, away from our small village!"
Go to school...
Studying...
Literacy...
That's what my biological father says most often.
Zhou Xiaochuan kept it in mind all the time and never even mentioned it to Zhou Chongshan.
At this moment.
As Zhou Xiaochuan spoke hoarsely, his closed heart seemed to be opened, and brilliant light shone in.
As we go on, it won’t be that difficult.
Zhou Xiaochuan raised his head, looked at Jiang Rou seriously, and repeated it again.
“I want to go to school.”
