In the kitchen, the fire had just been lit and it would take a while for the water to boil, so Su Nan helped Zhou Rang. Although she couldn't cook, she could still do simple things like chopping green onions and peeling garlic.
"You also bought noodles?" Su Nan looked through the bag that he had just brought over last week on the table, and saw the long, thin noodles made by a machine in it.
"Well, longevity noodles are a must today." Zhou Rang was putting firewood into the stove. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled at her.
Su Nan felt warm in her heart, gave him a coquettish look, and prepared to take out the cabbage and wash it under the tap.
Zhou Rang caught a glimpse of her movements and quickly stopped her. He stood up and snatched the ingredients from her hands, saying, "The water is cold. I'll wash them. You sit over there and help me watch the fire. It's warm over there."
"How can I be so delicate?" Su Nan protested a little, but his body was very honest. He turned around and moved towards the stove, sitting on the bench.
Her relatives will be coming to visit in a few days. If she takes a cold shower now, she will most likely be in great pain.
Since Zhou Rang cares about her and doesn't want her to be in trouble, she should just stop being stubborn and help him light the fire.
Two spoons of light soy sauce, appropriate amount of chicken essence, appropriate amount of pepper, two spoons of chopped green onion, one spoon of lard, rinse with boiling water, cut the carrots into 5 mm thin slices and use them to carve the four small words "Happy Birthday".
Boil the white noodles in boiling water, remove them and put them into the soup base, then use the water used to cook the noodles to beat two poached eggs and vegetables.
Finally, pour the lean pork shreds fried in hot oil on top, and a bowl of longevity noodles with good color, aroma and taste is ready.
"Beautiful Ms. Su Nan, please come and enjoy your exclusive Zhou Rang brand longevity noodles." Zhou Rang was rarely humorous. He brought the noodles to the dining table and waved to Su Nan.
"Wow." Su Nan hurried over, looking at the bowl of longevity noodles with shining eyes, holding Zhou Rang's hand, and kissed him on the cheek.
"You're awesome." Su Nan praised him generously, then sat down and started eating the bowl of noodles.
Because there would be other dishes later, there wasn't much noodles, so she ate them all in small bites.
The delicious food lingered on her tongue, fragrant and fresh. It was simply the most delicious noodles she had ever eaten, of course, with some personal feelings mixed in.
But it tasted really good, which was a little beyond her expectations. She originally thought he was just a half-baked chef, but she didn't expect him to cook so well. It was really good.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Zhou Rang felt relieved and started to make the next dish.
First, clean the pork, then cut it into small pieces. Put it into a large bowl, add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of soy sauce, half a spoonful of salt, a little sugar to enhance the flavor, a spoonful of cumin powder, a spoonful of pepper powder, an egg white, and a spoonful of chili powder.
After adding the small ingredients, stir them thoroughly and evenly, then add two spoons of starch and one spoon of oil, and stir again.
Add a little oil to the pot, then pour the marinated meat into the pot, stir-fry on low heat for a while, then add coriander, green onion, ginger and garlic.
After taking it out of the pot, it is served on the dining table.
The first dish is a famous Shanghai dish, Shanghai braised pork. First, cut the pork belly into small pieces and blanch them in water for later use. Then pour cooking oil into the pot, heat the oil, add sugar and stir-fry until the sugar turns brown, then add appropriate amount of water.
After the water boils, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon and other spices. After a while, add the chopped meat. Simmer for half an hour, then simmer until the sauce thickens.
During this free time, you can make a mushroom stew with chicken.
First, cut the chicken into pieces and blanch it for later use. Then prepare the side dishes. Put the sweet potato starch and mushrooms into a bowl separately and soak them in warm water for a few minutes.
Pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot, add chopped ginger and green onion, three pieces of star anise, two pieces of dried tangerine peel, and four slices of garlic. After heating, add the chicken and stir-fry until it shrinks noticeably.
Then add two spoons of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce to adjust the color and season. Stir-fry evenly, add appropriate amount of water, and after the water boils, add salt, pepper and sugar.
Finally, add mushrooms and sweet potato starch, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.
The meat dishes are ready, and there is also a dish of fried tofu.
Cut the tofu into cubes, coat with egg white and starch, and fry in oil until golden brown.
Then prepare the sauce: chili pieces, minced garlic, two spoons of soy sauce, one spoon of sugar, one spoon of salt, and half a bowl of water.
Pour the special seasoning into the pot, serve, and a delicious fried tofu is ready.
In addition to these, Zhou Rang also made small glutinous rice balls. Since Su Nan didn't like them, he only made a small bowl, for good luck and to suit the occasion.
After all, you still have to eat a bowl of steaming hot dumplings during the New Year's Day holiday in winter, because it symbolizes family reunion and family reunion.
Although their relatives are far away in Shanghai, having their loved ones by their side at this moment is a comfort.
After finishing all this, Zhou Rang brought the dishes to the dining table.
"You are a great cook. These dishes look so delicious." Su Nan rested her elbows on the table, holding her face, and looked at Zhou Rang with shining eyes.
"Then eat more." Zhou Rang helped her serve a bowl of rice and smiled indulgently.
But the time of eating is always happy and short. With Su Nan's small stomach, she was full after only a few bites of each dish, so she began to pick up food for Zhou Rang and enjoy the joy of feeding him.
After the two of them finished their meal, Su Nan helped Zhou Rang clean up the dishes. Of course, he did it while she watched.
When everything was settled, it was already four or five in the afternoon. Only then did Su Nan remember the situation in the village.
"Is there any car available at this time?" Su Nan scratched his head, glanced at Zhou Rang, then looked at the warm stove, feeling reluctant to leave.
On such a cold day, do they still have to walk into the village in such cold weather?
"If we go out now, we should be able to catch the last bus." Zhou Rang looked at the time on his watch and answered seriously.
Because the commune is worried that some people will miss the bus and get out of luck while walking home, they usually add an extra bus in the winter, which runs at 7 p.m.
As Zhou Rang spoke, he prepared to put out the stove. It seemed that he had to hurry to catch the last bus.
Su Nan looked at his anxious movements and rolled her eyes in anger, scolding him for being so stupid that he didn't seize such a good opportunity to be alone.
If it were another man, he would probably try every possible means to keep her.
A single man and a single woman, a warm stove in the cold winter, New Year's Day, the birthday of a beautiful woman, what a strange time.
Zhou Rang is really a blockhead, but this also highlights his gentlemanly character.
But Su Nan is not a "gentleman". How can she sit idly by when faced with male beauty?
"Ouch." Su Nan slowly squatted down, holding her stomach, and looked at Zhou Rang pitifully.
Hearing her cry of pain, Zhou Rang quickly threw down the cold water he was about to pour into the stove and ran to her side. He looked at her with a worried look on his face and said helplessly, "Nannan, what's wrong with you?"
"I seem to have a stomachache." Su Nan used her acting skills to good effect, frowning and holding her breath until her face turned red. She looked like she was in extreme pain.
"Our Dong Hospital." As soon as Zhou Rang finished speaking, he picked up Su Nan and ran out of the house.
Su Nan was like a little white rabbit in his arms, letting him do whatever he wanted. His hands were like a solid wall of iron and could not shake her at all.
