Chapter 222: Smells so good, a set of pancakes (1)

Jiang Rou was so worried about Zhou Xiaochuan's first day of school that she ignored Zhou Xiaohua.

This is the first time the two children have been separated since they started living together.

"Xiaohua."

Jiang Rou felt distressed and quickly picked up Zhou Xiaohua, holding her in her arms and coaxing her.

"It's okay. Brother doesn't abandon Xiaohua. Brother is just going to school. He will be back after school. Let's go home now and bring lunch to brother at noon, okay? In just a few hours, we can see brother again."

Zhou Xiaohua lay on Jiang Rou's shoulder, crying quietly.

She slowly raised her head, her long eyelashes were wet from crying and stuck together in clumps.

She blinked.

【Really?】

"Of course it's true! It's about going to school. You know that brother likes going to school, right? That's what brother likes to do. Can we give him some time? There is school and there is after school. As long as after school, brother will come back and play with Xiaohua."

[Will it take a long time? ]

"It won't take long. It will be over in a moment. Brother likes Xiaohua so much, he will definitely go home to see Xiaohua as soon as possible."

Zhou Xiaohua's tears finally stopped as she listened to Jiang Rou's comfort.

But the little girl was still in a very depressed mood.

All the way home, she lay on Jiang Rou's shoulder, looking weak, with her little mouth slightly pouted and her big watery eyes staring eagerly in the direction of the school.

Brother...Brother...Brother...

Silent call.

…

Zhou Xiaohua's dripping sadness did not stop until she smelled an alluring fragrance.

Smells so good!

The worried little girl's gray eyes lit up.

She put the fruit candy that Jiang Rou stuffed into her small schoolbag with her name on it, and then took small steps and walked towards the source of the fragrance.

In the kitchen.

Jiang Rou was busy frying crispy food.

The crispy dough was made early this morning.

Compared with ordinary kneaded dough, the dough has a certain proportion of thin and crispy dough, and a portion of cooking oil is added.

And the little sesame seeds of the soul.

After the dough has been fermented once and the air is kneaded out, the originally rough dough becomes very smooth.

Then roll out the dough into a large piece.

It is not like making dumpling wrappers, where small dough pieces are pulled off one by one. Instead, the entire dough is rolled out into a large rectangle to become the dough wrapper.

Sprinkle a thin layer of dry flour on the dough.

Then use a wooden board to cut the large dough into rectangles about the size of your palm.

Stack them neatly together one by one.

Because the dough has been sprinkled with dry powder beforehand, the dough will not be sticky even if you stack them together.

Right after.

Jiang Rou cut a small horizontal slit in the middle of the rectangular dough, making the dough look like an open pocket.

Then he used a bamboo stick to poke tiny holes on the dough on both sides.

After completing these preparations, you can start frying.

The oil temperature must be high so that the prepared dough can be quickly shaped and expanded when put in.

At the same time.

The scorching hot oil quickly flowed through the opening in the middle of the dough and between the small holes poked by the bamboo stick.

The dough was evenly heated and instantly puffed up like a butterfly flapping its wings.

There are also small bulges where the small holes are.

These little bumps are the key to making the crispy and crunchy cake.

Jiang Rou was holding a pair of long chopsticks in her hand. In front of her was a pot of golden hot oil. The white noodles had just been put in for a few minutes and immediately turned a golden color.

Use long chopsticks to turn the dough over and fry both sides until golden brown.

Drain the oil and the crispy buns are ready.

【Thin Crisp Illustration】

Unlike ordinary fried foods, crispy snacks do not need to be re-fried. Just set them aside and wait for the temperature to slowly drop to the same crispness as potato chips.

In the small kitchen.

The sizzling sound of hot oil and the tempting rich aroma are closely intertwined.

Smells good...

It was delicious and she had never seen it before...

Zhou Xiaohua stood at the door of the small kitchen, her eyes wide open, listening to the sounds, swallowing her saliva, and she didn't go in for a long time.

Because she remembered Jiang Rou had reminded her that hot oil was very dangerous and it would be very painful if you got splashed or touched by it.

She wanted to eat, but was afraid of the pain.

So Zhou Xiaohua stood obediently at the door, just standing on tiptoe and watching.

Zhou Xiaohua is short and can't see over the tall stove.

All one could see was Jiang Rou holding long chopsticks, picking up slices of golden crispy food, dripping with shiny fat, and putting them on the plate.

After a while.

The golden and green crisps slowly accumulated like a small hill.

Gulu!

Want to eat.

It was the sound of swallowing saliva heavily.

While the hot oil was boiling, Jiang Rou did not dare to be distracted and fried all the dough in one breath.

The weather was hot and the oil temperature was high, and a layer of sweat soon appeared on her forehead.

Jiang Rou simply wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve and continued to move, completing the task in one go.

By the time the last piece of crispy food comes out of the pot, the first piece of crispy food has already cooled down.

Jiang Rou picked it up and tapped it gently with her hand. She could hear a crackling sound, as if it was crackling.

Perfect.

"Xiaohua, come in, it's time to eat."

Jiang Rou shouted.

Zhou Xiaohua immediately walked in with small steps.

Jiang Rou asked the little girl to sit on a small stool and handed her the crispy chips.

And said.

"You can't have lunch yet. Eat this first to relieve your craving."

Zhou Xiaohua held the crispy food in her two little hands.

The little teeth took a bite and with a snap, the crispy food cracked instantly, becoming so crispy that it could even crumble.

Zhou Xiaohua's big eyes suddenly lit up.

Like cookies.

Also like walnut shortbread.

They are all crispy.

The crispy and warm crispy food just out of the pot tastes delicious with the aroma of sesame.

That's it.

Zhou Xiaohua, who was as soft as a ball, was like a little mole. She took small bites of the crispy food, crunching it and eating it non-stop.

At the same time.

Jiang Rou is still busy.

She then prepared the cucumber shreds and picked the green vegetable leaves and cut them into thin shreds.

In addition, there are a series of ingredients such as chopped green onions, pickled vegetables, etc.

These things are all ingredients, but when put together, they don’t look like cooking at all.

Zhou Xiaohua kept snapping away, looking at Jiang Rou with curiosity.

Jiang Rou was busy for a long time and finally finished it.

She put her hands on her hips, looked at the pile of things, and counted them carefully.

Mission accomplished!

Jiang Rou was indeed not making lunch, but preparing ingredients for making pancakes.
