The children were full of energy and refused to go home even when the sun was about to set. It was only when Deng Qingling said she would make them something delicious that they went home and they went home obediently.
After returning to the store and drinking some water, Deng Qingling went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Guo Haochen and Guo Ninghuan also went in to help, and the others looked after the two youngest ones.
"Mom, what should we do now?" Guo Haochen said.
"You guys pick the beans, I'll boil some water and kill the chickens we brought from home later." Deng Qingling said.
While the fire was burning, Deng Qingling made a bowl of salt water.
Then he asked Guo Haochen to help hold the chicken wings and Guo Ninghuan to hold the chicken feet.
Deng Qingling grabbed the chicken's head with one hand and a knife with the other, and cut the chicken's neck twice. When she saw blood coming out, she lifted the chicken's butt to let the blood flow into the bowl. When the chicken stopped bleeding, she put it in a wooden basin.
When the water is hot, start to blanch the chicken and remove the feathers, and soak a handful of black fungus at the same time.
Guo Haochen helped to pluck the chicken feathers, Guo Ninghuan washed the beans, cleaned the pot and cooked rice. When the rice was almost cooked, the chicken was chopped.
Deng Qingling washed the pot and started frying the chicken.
... ...
After cooking, Deng Qingling scooped out the fried chicken with wood ear mushrooms and placed them on two plates, then poured the green beans directly into the pot and stir-fried them. Anyway, there was no need to wash the pot after cooking the chicken.
When cooking green beans, pour the chicken juice into the cooking. The chicken juice has a chicken flavor, and the green beans cooked in this way taste particularly good.
These two simple dishes, paired with a pot of rice, are enough for everyone to eat.
Not long after he started eating, Guo Haojie fell asleep with his eyes closed. If Liang Xueying hadn't been quick to catch him, his face would have been buried in the bowl.
Liang Xueying held Guo Haojie in her arms, and Guo Ninghuan took the initiative to get water for Guo Haojie to wipe his face and hands. Then Liang Xueying took Guo Haojie back to the room and let him sleep.
Guo Ninghuan was also afraid that Zhou Jiahua would fall asleep while eating, so he hurriedly fed him so that he could eat his fill before going to sleep.
While Guo Ninghuan was feeding Zhou Jiahua, he fell asleep with the spoon in his mouth. She could only carefully take out the spoon and reach into Zhou Jiahua's mouth to take out the rice.
Because if there is food in your mouth when you sleep, the food may enter your throat with your breathing and then enter your trachea.
If food blocks the airway, it can cause breathing difficulties or even suffocation, which can be life-threatening.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Usually, when the child fell asleep with a mouthful of food in his mouth, Liang Xueying would wake him up.
Let the child swallow the food completely before letting him/her go back to sleep, or take the food out of his/her mouth.
So Guo Ninghuan got used to it and started doing the same thing.
The kids must be tired after playing all day.
It is not uncommon for the two children to fall asleep while eating, so while the food is cooking in the front stove, the pot in the back is also boiling bath water.
Fortunately, they were both bathed before dinner.
If you wake them up to take a bath while they are sleeping, I'm afraid they will cry so hard that the roof will be blown off.
... ... ... ... ...
After dinner, Guo Ninghuan cleaned up the dishes and washed them, Guo Ningwan helped to wipe the table, and Guo Haoxi boiled water for a bath.
Seeing Deng Qingling washing eggs, Guo Haochen and Liang Xueying also went to the backyard to help.
After the water heated up, everyone took turns taking a shower, while Deng Qingling was still boiling eggs in the kitchen.
"All of you go back to your rooms and sleep." Deng Qingling said to Guo Haochen and his four siblings.
Everyone else had washed up and gone to bed, except Deng Qingling and her son who were still awake.
"I want to help my mother." Guo Haochen said to Deng Qingling.
"Us too." Guo Haoxi, Guo Ninghuan and Guo Ningwan said.
Seeing the children so determined, Deng Qingling no longer refused their help.
It is also good to let children know that earning money to support the family is not easy.
Deng Qingling took out the eggs and rinsed them with cold water, taught them how to crack the eggs, and then put the eggs into the brine to heat them.
After asking them to wash their hands, Deng Qingling taught them how to knead the dough.
When they first started kneading the dough, Guo Haochen and his two siblings were laughing and playing while doing their work. Later on they realized that kneading the dough was not easy.
The dough cannot be too thin, nor can it be too thick.
No matter how hard they tried to knead the dough, it just wouldn't work. Their hands were covered in dough, their arms were sore, and they still couldn't knead the dough properly. Guo Haochen and his three siblings gave up with bitter faces.
"You have already done a lot for your mother, don't be discouraged!
It's normal to have no experience the first time. We'll live together in the future, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to learn." Deng Qingling looked at them and said comfortingly.
"Well, once we learn how to do it, we'll make dumplings with mom," said Guo Haochen.
Guo Ninghuan and the others standing by also nodded.
Deng Qingling smiled and quickly kneaded the dough after it had rested.
After the bun dough was ready, Deng Qingling started making the dough for wonton skins.
This time, Guo Haochen and his two siblings did not help, but washed their hands and stood by to watch and learn.
... ...
After Deng Qingling made the dough, she sent Guo Haochen and his siblings back to their room to sleep.
After she put out the fire on the stove, she went to take a shower. Before returning to her room, she secretly put the dough into the space and took it out in the morning.
