Chapter 624 Chen Yan: Yueyue, Can You Be More Mature Like Dundun? 【Please Subscribe】
“This chicken is so delicious!”
At the dining table, Chen Meiliang was holding a bowl of rice and a piece of red chicken. Before he even took it into his mouth, the alluring spicy smell penetrated his nostrils.
After entering the mouth, the first thing you feel is the spicy and moist oil on the surface of the chicken pieces. This oil-rich texture makes the chicken flavor much richer.
When you take a bite, the unique aroma of chicken bursts out, the juice is plump, and it is full of flavor under the layer of fat on the outside.
Especially the part close to the bone, the meat is firm and chewy, but without losing the tenderness of the chicken.
After eating a piece of chicken, my mouth was so hot that I took a big mouthful of rice. The feeling of satisfaction from the heart completely stimulated my appetite.
After a long drive, it is so comforting to have a bowl of red and spicy chicken and a big bowl of rice.
Chen Meijuan took a mouthful of rice and said to Lin Xu:
"This spicy chicken is good. Let your uncle teach it later and let him serve it in the scenic restaurant. Tourists are tired of climbing mountains and like to eat spicy food the most."
Lin Xu took a sip of the silky pumpkin soup:
"I will teach my uncle the next time I go back, and I will teach you some other dishes by the way, so that the scenic restaurant can become a signature."
Shen Guofu originally planned to try the spicy chicken.
But after taking a bite, she couldn't help but serve herself a small bowl of rice. She also lied to Han Shuzhen that she was busy drinking at noon and forgot to eat the staple food. If she didn't eat some rice at this moment, she would feel uncomfortable in her stomach.
The perceptive Director Han naturally saw that her husband was lying.
But she didn't expose it. Instead, she slowly ate the crispy peppers and asked Chen Meijuan for advice on growing vegetables:
"In the flower pond on the roof of the building where Xiaoxu and Yueyue live, a lot of fertilizer was buried in it during the winter. Now that spring has begun, it's time to plant some vegetables, otherwise it would be a waste."
Chen Meijuan ate the chicken wings brought by Lin Hongqi and said:
"When we came here this time, we brought some rapeseed. We were worried that it would be difficult to buy bamboo poles here, so we specially brought some dried bamboo. We planted the vegetables and set up the shelves before leaving."
Among vegetables, cucumbers, beans, pumpkins and other vines need to be built on a shelf, usually a herringbone frame. When the vines are wrapped around it, they will bloom and bear fruit.
Han Shuzhen has never grown vegetables before, so she is eager to participate.
Chen Meijuan said with a smile:
"Then let's go plant vegetables after dinner. The temperature is still relatively low at night, so we need to cover them with a layer of plastic film after planting so that the young shoots from the seeds will not freeze to death."
For Chen Meijuan, Chen Meiliang, Lin Hongqi and others who were born in rural areas, growing vegetables is too simple and not complicated at all.
Han Shuzhen said to Shen Guofu:
"You will go too later. If you eat so much, you can do more work."
"Okay, okay, no problem."
Lao Shen plucked the rice and didn't even think about talking.
Xie Baomin and Lao Huang didn't stay long. After chatting for a while, they dispersed.
Everyone had drank and had to go back for a while and spend the weekend with their families. Cui Qingyuan had nothing to do. When he heard that he was going to plant vegetables, he immediately said that he would come and take a look.
He smiled and said:
"When I was little, I was always curious about how vegetables grow. My grandma planted some green onions in a flower pot on the balcony. I watered them every day after school. I was worried about it, and then..."
Han Shuzhen asked:
"The onion grew up later?"
"No, they are all drowned...Grandma said that onions should not be watered too much, as the roots will rot."
These words reminded Lin Xu of the goldfish he had fed to death when he was a child. At that time, he had a strong sense of responsibility and kept feeding.
I sprinkled a handful of millet when I got up in the morning, a handful before going to school, a handful after school, and a little before going to bed at night... As a result, those goldfish didn't even last three days and started to float.
While everyone was chatting, Shen Jiayue drove downstairs.
She opened the car door and helped her grandma get out of the car, and then she held the two cuties George and Peggy in her arms. Geng Lele, who was in the passenger seat, took down Dundun who was lying on the car seat.
The three of them came to the store together. When Shu Yun saw George, he took him over and hugged him tightly:
"Baby, you look so cute."
Cow cats pay attention to five pinks, eight full backs and black, which means that the pads of the four paws and the tip of the nose are all pink. The black and white on the face should be symmetrical and the back should be completely black. Such a cat will have a high appearance. .
George fits this perfectly. His back is all black, his belly and chin are white, and even his four paws are snow-white, as if he is wearing a pair of white gloves.
"They say cats wearing white gloves are the clingiest. I don't know if that's true or not."
George was suddenly hugged by a stranger. He was a little nervous at first, but when he smelled Shu Yun's scent, he immediately became well-behaved.
Well, if he smells like an older brother, he is not a bad person!
When going upstairs, Shen Jiayue looked at Old Mrs. Shen and asked:
"Grandma, can you let Dundun choose a kitten for you later?"
The old lady smiled and shook her head:
"No, it's not suitable for the elderly to keep cats."
"Why?"
"When I don't have cats, I can still go out and play mahjong. With such cute little elves, I don't want to go anywhere all day long, I just want to hang around them... This is not good for my health."
Now that the weather is not so cold, the old lady wanders around the alley when she has nothing to do, occasionally plays mahjong and chats with neighbors.
This kind of life is quite good. If you raise a cat, your living conditions will change. You won't have that much activity every day, which is not good.
Arriving upstairs, Chen Meijuan saw Mrs. Shen and quickly stood up to say hello, but was stopped by the old lady:
"You guys eat what you eat. Are you starving along the way?"
After the greetings, Chen Meijuan noticed the two kittens in her daughter-in-law’s arms:
"Are these the two kittens that Dundun abducted from the Forbidden City? They look very cute. The day after tomorrow at the latest, the breeding farm will send over the reserved peacocks, ponies, sika deer and alpacas. Dundun, let’s go play and be a little sheepherder.”
When Dundun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his tail swung a few times, looking very expectant.
Shen Jiayue handed Peggy in her arms to Han Shuzhen, then looked at Shen Guofu and asked:
"Dad, haven't you eaten yet? Why are you eating again?"
Old Shen took a mouthful of rice:
"Ahem, I just want to taste the saltiness...the spicy taste is really enjoyable."
Shen Jiayue looked at the red chicken in the basin, served herself half a bowl of rice, and sat down:
"Then I'll have a taste of it."
On the way here, I was tempted by the photos posted by Xu Bao. There was so much red oil and so many chili peppers that it made people greedy just looking at them.
She put a piece of chicken into the bowl and said to Geng Lele:
"Lele, don't you want to try it too? Come on, come on, the spicy flavor is really satisfying. I feel like it's also very delicious with these red oil stir-fry dishes after eating."
Geng Lele was a little embarrassed to see that they were all elders.
Chen Meijuan said:
"Come on, girl, grab some rice and try it. If it tastes good, eat more."
Cui Qingyuan also said:
"Yes, you can eat it if you want. It doesn't have to be so raw."
Geng Lele filled half a bowl of rice. As soon as she sat down, Chen Meijuan put a piece of chicken wing into her bowl:
"Go ahead and eat. If you don't have enough, just ask the kitchen to cook it. Just treat it like you're at home. You're welcome."
Geng Lele muttered:
"This is different from my own home...the food at my home is not so delicious."
Chen Meiliang ate a bowl of rice. When he stood up to serve it, Lin Xu took the bowl and said:
"I'll serve you, uncle. How does it feel to drive a long distance?"
"It's not very good. I now desperately hope that technology will advance more and autonomous driving will be popularized quickly. Then we can reach our destination after sleeping on the road. How great."
After Chen Meiliang finished speaking, she took her mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Yuanyuan:
"I've arrived in the capital and am eating in a restaurant. When will you come back by bike?"
As soon as he arrived at the store, he knew that his daughter had gone riding bicycles with a group of friends in Miyun and would not be able to come back until dark.
However, I haven’t seen my daughter since the third day of the Lunar New Year, so I wanted to send a message to ask.
But I didn't want to show too much emotion when I asked, so I just asked casually.
Regardless of their educational level, Chinese fathers often deliberately restrain their emotions when facing their children. They clearly care and miss them but do not express them.
After sending the message, Chen Meiliang put the phone on the table.
My daughter should be riding a bicycle at the moment. Even if she receives a message, she may not be able to reply quickly.
However, as soon as I put it down, a WeChat notification sounded on my phone:
"We'll be there in half an hour. Dad, you didn't even say a word that you came to the capital. Are you doing this surprise attack because you're afraid that the person I'm talking to won't tell you?"
Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's reply, Chen Meiliang couldn't help but smile with relief.
Silly girl, are you dating someone? There are a lot of people here watching, why do you want to launch such a surprise attack?
Only half an hour to arrive?
Is the return journey too fast?
I just heard that they rode all morning and traveled hundreds of kilometers. Logically speaking, the return time should be the same or even longer. How come they came back so soon?
Chen Meiliang replied:
"Why did you come back so fast? Was it all downhill?"
"No, it was because Sister Yan was too full and didn't want to ride a bike. She hired a Taichung bus to bring us back together with the car. We have already entered the Sixth Ring Road."
Chen Meiliang was immediately happy.
He knew that the sister Yan his daughter was talking about was Shen Guofu's niece, so he said to Lao Shen:
"Your niece is very interesting. She rides to Miyun, eats and drinks a lot, and then charters a car back. Together they travel such a long way just to have more lunch."
"Xiaoyan has this kind of temperament that only lasts for three minutes. Come on, brother, keep eating."
Just as he was talking, Wei Gan walked out of the kitchen with a plate of twice-cooked pork and a plate of minced pork vermicelli. He placed it on the dining table and said to everyone:
"Master Qin from the kitchen and I cooked two more dishes. Uncle and aunties, you can eat. There are plenty of dishes."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Xiao Wei."
"You're welcome. It's our honor for you to eat our food."
After dinner, he would go home and plant vegetables. Lin Xu thought that dinner would most likely be cooked at home, so while everyone was eating, he returned to the kitchen and packed some ingredients to take back.
Such as free-range chicken, tender duck, pork knuckle, large intestine, fried chicken fir, green vegetables, cabbage, large fresh shrimp, mandarin fish and other dishes.
By the time he had finished cleaning up, the lunch outside had come to an end.
When you encounter a delicious meal, you will eat faster, especially a spicy dish like Zhanyi Spicy Chicken. You have to eat several mouthfuls of rice to suppress the spicy taste.
Shen Jiayue finished most of the bowl of rice she served, and now started to eat the crispy chili made by Lin Xu.
"Wow, this crispy and crispy food is so delicious. Mom, please eat less. Although it's not very spicy, eating too much will cause you to get angry."
"It's okay. Mom has a cool constitution and is not afraid of getting angry."
Shen Jiayue pouted:
"Then please leave some for me, I've almost finished eating..."
Woohoo, other people's mothers would rather not have enough to eat than let their children be wronged, but my mother is so kind, she would rather wrong her children than treat herself badly.
Never talk about the same world and the same mother again, it’s different.
Lin Xu put the packaged dishes on the table next to him and said with a smile:
"I'll fry some more when I get home later. By the way, an air fryer can also do this. I'll teach you when I get back."
After saying that, he looked at George in Shu Yun's arms and Peggy in his mother-in-law's arms, and asked curiously:
"Are these two kittens going home too?"
"If you don't reply, Miki will come to pick her up later. His grandfather likes Peggy very much. He has held her in his arms for the past two days when he has nothing to do. He also said that Miki will raise Peggy as a great-granddaughter if she doesn't find a partner to get married to."
Hey, this old man is actually a cat slave.
Not long after, Cai Sen drove to pick up George and Peggy.
Going upstairs, he deliberately took out several pairs of Wenwan walnuts from his bag:
"Hello, uncles and aunties, after my grandpa had a meal here last time, he really liked the dishes cooked by Boss Lin. He asked me to bring some walnuts. It's disrespectful."
Cai Heping is not short of money. After all, he can hire the chef of Yanjing Hotel to cook at his house when he celebrates his birthday. Without a certain status and capital, this is impossible.
The gift he gave was naturally not simple.
These pairs of walnuts are plump and huge, and each can reach the standard of a lion head, and the lion head is the best among the walnuts.
Lin Xu said:
"Isn't it too expensive?"
"This is nothing. Take it, Boss Lin. I'm going back first. My grandfather is still waiting to feed Peggy... He always thought that the name I named Yehenara Peggy didn't sound good, so he asked me to change it to Elizabeth. ·Peggy, let’s bury Britain. I don’t agree with it. How can my daughter use it to bury foreigners?”
So you just eliminated the leadership of the Eight Banners, right?
Lin Xu sent him downstairs, and Xu Xinhua from the braised food department packed roast chicken, sweet-skinned duck and other braised food for Cai Sen to take to the elders in the family.
After Cai Sen left, everyone upstairs also went downstairs, preparing to go to Lin Xu's house to plant vegetables.
Chinese people have always had the gene for farming in their bones. Whether they live in a villa or a garden house, as long as there are green plants and a garden, it will not be long before it becomes a vegetable garden.
Everyone drove to the community where Lin Xu was located.
In the underground parking lot, Chen Meiliang parked the car in a public parking space, opened the trunk, and everyone moved the bundles of bamboo poles and dried vegetables and other items they brought into the elevator, and went upstairs together.
Old Mrs. Shen had planted vegetables in the yard in the past, but the growth was not good, and she had not taken care of the crops for many years, so she was a little unable to do what she wanted, so she gave up.
But today, since she can revisit growing vegetables, the old lady still wants to participate.
However, although there is a ring of explosion-proof glass on the roof, it is a high-rise building after all, and the temperature is low. Han Shuzhen specially gave the old lady a thick coat and a cotton hat, and then helped her upstairs.
Cui Qingyuan said to Geng Lele:
"Now that you have eaten and drank enough, hurry up and get to work. There will be delicious food in the evening."
Geng Lele was not interested in working at first, but when he heard that it was delicious, he immediately asked:
"real?"
"Didn't you see that Brother Xu brought such a big bag of vegetables? There are fat intestines, chickens and ducks. Maybe we will make fat intestine chicken tonight. Hurry up and work. Can you eat it without working?"
When the little mushroom head heard this, he immediately jumped upstairs.
Growing vegetables is quite simple, just dig a hole and bury the seeds in it.
But when it comes to trouble, there are some troubles. For example, the soil needs to be loosened first. For example, after planting rapeseed, you need to pour some water on the soil, but not too much, so as not to soak the seeds before they germinate.
In addition, after watering, cover with a layer of plastic film.
This can not only preserve heat, but also allow the soil to maintain moisture. Humidity and temperature are two key factors for seed germination, and one is indispensable.
There is a faucet on the top floor, which is very convenient for watering and other things.
Shen Guofu was very busy carrying the bucket. He liked the lively feeling of a big family very much. Only in this way could he forget the time when a family of three crowded into a broken house when he was a child and suffered from hunger and poverty. The experience of being ostracized.
Everyone is busy, Chen Yan and the others are back.
As soon as they met, Shen Jiayue showed a sarcastic expression.
"You can laugh if you want. No matter what, we have ridden more than a hundred miles."
Chen Yan greeted Chen Meijuan and the others, then walked to the border wall to take a look, and then she realized:
"It seems like our home is next door. Ha, we are actually neighbors."
The house she bought was in the same building as Shen Jiayue, but it was not the same unit.
When I bought it, I only thought that there were two houses in between, but the two houses were not duplexes and were separated below. However, there was no separation between the second and third floors of the duplex building.
Chen Yan said excitedly:
"When we get back, let someone open a door on the rooftop. Then it will be convenient for us to visit."
Shen Jiayue immediately refused after hearing this:
"That's not okay, I don't agree."
Chen Yan was a little confused:
"Why?"
"You must come here to steal food in the middle of the night... I used to play QQ Farm, and you would steal my food every night at midnight. Later, when you played QQ to grab parking spaces, you posted my note in the middle of the night. Don't think I forgot!"
Chen Yan:? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Why are you still acting like a child?
She smiled silently:
"Yueyue, can you be as mature and steady as Dundun?"
Dundun, who was squatting in front of the pool and playing with the faucet with his paw, turned his head and looked this way, and couldn't help shouting:
"Meow?"
What kind of trouble is Auntie trying to do?
No matter, let’s play in the water first!
A cat's life is incomplete without a kitten playing in water...
