Don't underestimate him because he is small, but he is very smart. He knows that fire is unsafe, so he doesn't touch it. He knows that hot water will burn his hands, so he doesn't touch water. He knows not to go into the river, so he doesn't go into the river. A few days ago, he went to pick up pebbles with Song Zhi. Song Zhi only reminded him once when they went for the first time, and then he stayed away from the river.
After a while, the hot sweet potatoes were ready, and Gu Huaijin pulled them out from the pile of matches.
Panpan stared at the sweet potato in his father's hand without blinking, feeling a little curious.
Gu Huaijin peeled the sweet potato, blew on the top of the sweet potato, and handed it to Panpan's mouth.
Panpan opened his mouth and took a bite without thinking. Maybe it was a little hot, so he bit it and then let go. After pausing for a moment, he bit down again.
After eating it, Panpan looked at his father with bright eyes and reached out to take the sweet potato into his hands.
Gu Huaijin quickly dodged, not because he didn't want him to eat it, but because the sweet potato was still very hot when it came out, and he was worried that it would burn his hand.
"It's hot down there, feel it."
Panpan stretched out her hand again, but felt it was too hot when she touched it, so she withdrew her hand and used her hands to pry open her father's arm to put the sweet potato into her mouth.
This was his first time eating roasted sweet potatoes. They were fragrant and sweet, much more delicious than the sweet potatoes put in rice.
As soon as Song Zhi arrived in the kitchen, he smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. He looked down and saw that Panpan's hands and face were black from eating, like a little cat. But he was still eating with relish, which made everyone who saw him have a great appetite.
"Why did you think of roasting sweet potatoes?"
"I suddenly remembered that Panpan has never eaten it." Gu Huaijin was stunned and told the truth.
Song Zhi smiled but said nothing. Although Gu Huaijin usually looked aloof and cold, he actually doted on his son the most. He was always thinking about him, but pretended to be calm.
"Why don't you go take a shower first? We'll have to stay for a while after eating. You can take a shower first and then wash him." Song Zhi suggested, looking at the half-eaten sweet potato still in Panpan's hand.
Gu Huaijin glanced at Panpan. Panpan didn't notice that his parents had just examined him. He was eating the roasted sweet potato with all his might. Children's happiness is so simple. A new toy or a new food can make him concentrate on it for a long time.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first." This was the only way now, otherwise he would want to eat again after taking a shower, and his body would be covered with smears. It would be better to eat them all at once. The sweet potatoes baked by Gu Huaijin were not big, only medium in size, but Panpan had a small mouth and relied on her two teeth to eat slowly, so she took a long time to eat a small half.
When Gu Huaijin came out of the bath, Panpan had already finished eating. Song Zhi took off his clothes quickly. Gu Huaijin added water to the bathtub and put Panpan in it. Panpan splashed water in it again. Song Zhi was so angry that he threw him to Gu Huaijin and asked Gu Huaijin to give him a bath. He then lay down in bed and went to sleep.
After finally finishing his bath, Panpan crawled to his mother in his pajamas. Song Zhi looked at his still wet hair and asked him to sit down and read him the illustrated book. Once he lay down on the bed and the pillow got wet, he would not be able to sleep.
Gu Huaijin sat at the desk next to him, writing materials and listening to Song Zhi telling Panpan stories. The whole bedroom was filled with a warm feeling.
Song Zhi was about to go to college. Song's mother got up early to prepare breakfast. After breakfast, she went to the village to see if anyone had cotton. She would exchange some cotton and sew a mattress and quilt for Song Zhi.
Song Zhi sent two pieces of hot pot base that Song's mother had made yesterday to the neighbor next door.
"What is this?" Zhao Yun had never seen this kind of food before and didn't know what it was used for.
"My mother made the hot pot base yesterday. Just dissolve it in boiling water and add some vegetables, lotus root meat and the like. It's ready to eat after it's cooked." Song Zhi said with a smile.
"I was wondering what delicious food your family had cooked when I smelled such a strong aroma yesterday afternoon. It was spicy and fragrant, but I didn't expect it was hot pot base." Zhao Yun said jokingly.
"I suddenly wanted to eat hot pot yesterday, so I asked my mother to cook some. When you have time, your aunt can try making it. It tastes pretty good, but it's a little spicy." Song Zhi handed over two pieces of hot pot base.
Zhao Yun took it and said, "Then I must try it. Old Qin in my family loves spicy food."
After returning home, Song Zhi took advantage of the good weather and let Panpan play in the yard. She brought a basin of clean water, cleaned and wiped the house, and took out the quilts and mattresses to dry in the sun.
It was almost noon when they finished all this, and Song's mother had not come back yet. Song Zhi looked at the time and told himself to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch. There were no neighbors around who were of the same age as Panpan. Panpan always played alone at home and didn't even have a playmate. To be honest, he would be bored playing alone in the yard.
When Song Zhi went to the kitchen, he followed her in and stood behind her. He didn't make any trouble or talk, just watched his mother cook.
After Song Zhi finished cooking, he saw that it still took a long time, so he made some sweet potato fries for Panpan. Sweet potato fries are actually similar to potato fries, both of which are made by cutting sweet potatoes into strips, but the sweet potatoes used are also particular, and it is best to use honey potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are best fried. First, cut them into strips. Don't make them too thick, otherwise they won't be cooked through, and don't make them too thin, otherwise they will burn. Song Zhi was thinking about cutting the sweet potatoes into slightly wider sizes, wrapping them with starch after cutting, and after coating the sweet potato strips evenly, he started to heat oil in a pan.
After the oil is hot, add the sweet potato fries and fry them slowly until golden brown. Remove from the pan and sprinkle with seasoning.
Song Zhi put it on the table. Pan Pan couldn't wait any longer and started to grab it. "It's too hot now, Pan Pan. Let it cool down a little before eating."
Panpan acted as if he couldn't hear his mother's words, and still tried to lift his feet to reach out and pull the basin over. Song Zhi was frying something here and couldn't pay attention to him, so he had no choice but to take out a bowl, blow on it, and hand it to him.
She shook her head with a smile. This little guy is really a hidden foodie.
Panpan took the sweet potato fries but didn't rush to eat them. Instead, she licked them with the tip of her tongue to see if they tasted good.
Song Zhi noticed his action and felt both angry and amused. He was really mischievous.
After Panpan was sure that this thing was delicious, he quickly finished the one Song Zhi gave him. After finishing it, he still wanted to eat more, "Wait for grandma and dad to come back and finish their meal before eating. If you are full after eating this, how can you eat anything else?"
Panpan shook his head and pointed at the sweet potato fries on the table and insisted on eating them. Song Zhi had no choice but to scoop him a bowl of rice first, "You can have snacks after you finish your meal."
No matter how Panpan acted coquettishly, it was useless. He had no choice but to accept his fate and eat. Today's meal was millet and pumpkin porridge, which was soft and sticky. Song Zhi fed him some fried shredded potatoes. I don't know why Panpan didn't eat green things and only liked to eat shredded potatoes. Feeding him some green vegetables seemed like harming him. Not only did he not eat the green vegetables, he even didn't eat green beans. However, he ate the fried shredded potatoes happily when the bowl was put.
