Chapter 128 French fries
Chapter 128 French fries
It was already completely dark when I finally managed to tidy up the place.
I'll put the things in the shed for now. I'm tired after a day's work, so I'll return them tomorrow.
This time, even Chen Shang and Chen Yu from the county heard the news and came with their husbands and children!
He also brought a lot of things for Chi Xiaotong.
After everyone left, Chi Xiaotong asked the two children: "Do you dare to live in a room by yourselves? If you are afraid, just live together first. The beds are big enough."
"How dare you! I want to live by myself!" Manman shouted.
"I can too. Please move Tuantuan's little bed to my room! I'll look after him!" Yuanyuan said sensibly.
"You don't want to sleep alone? Tuantuan can stay in our room for now! You are still a child, you don't need to look after your brother!" Chi Xiaotong said with a smile. She understood that Yuanyuan wanted to help them.
"Okay, let's go to bed!" After watching the two children go into the house, Chi Xiaotong took Tian Yu back to the house.
Tuantuan had fallen asleep a long time ago. Chi Xiaotong went to take a look and tucked in the quilt.
She went back to bed and slept comfortably with her husband in her arms.
This time, Chi Xiaotong really built the house into her ideal shape. There was a bed and a small kang in each room.
The bed is cool in summer and the kang is warm in winter. It couldn't be more comfortable.
This time the house is much bigger than last time!
The next morning, Tian Yu got up to light the fire and cook, and also heated the kang.
Yuanyuan and Manman also got up early and took Tuantuan out.
Chi Xiaotong had a good sleep early in the morning.
It was not until the Chen family finished breakfast and came to get things that Chi Xiaotong got up, washed up and prepared to eat.
"Just eating?"
"Well, let's eat together?"
"No, I've already eaten!"
"You really can sleep!" Chen Chengyu moved closer and whispered to Chi Xiaotong.
Chi Xiaotong smiled back.
After Chi Xiaotong finished eating, he returned the food with everyone else.
Chen Shang also said that he wanted to buy some candy and take it back to eat slowly.
"That's perfect. They're making it right now at the sugar factory. Let's go get it now!"
"Let's go! Go take a look!" Chen Shang said with a smile.
The group went to the sugar factory again.
Zhao Xiaoxiao and others were making it, and Chi Xiaotong took over directly, preparing the ingredients, boiling the soup, and pulling the sugar.
It took a lot of time to make a batch of sugar and pack it.
Everyone stayed with them the whole time, and during the candy-pulling session, they enthusiastically tried their hand at it.
In the afternoon, Chen Shang, Chen Yu and others were going back! Chi Xiaotong packed up what she had just made and gave it to them to take away.
……
It started snowing five days after the new house was completed.
The two children stood at the door and watched the falling snowflakes.
"Why don't you go out and play? What's the fun of it?" Chi Xiaotong asked.
"It's cold outside! The snow is beautiful!"
"Like winter?"
"No, it's too cold in winter! And there's nothing to eat!" Manman shook his head.
"It's not cold, how can it be winter! We are dressed warmly, so we are not afraid of the cold! We definitely don't lack food. Your father has stored a lot! Enough potatoes and cabbages for us to eat for the whole winter!"
"Yeah!" Manman nodded happily. This little guy is easy to satisfy, as long as there is food, he is not picky at all.
Chi Xiaotong rolled her eyes, lowered her body, and said mysteriously to Yuanyuanman: "Mom will take you to get some delicious food! Do you want to come?"
"Go!" he said loudly with excitement.
Chi Xiaotong raised a finger and said, "Shh! Keep your voice down!"
"Oh!" Manman covered her mouth with her hands.
Yuanyuan smiled with her lips pursed.
"Let's go!" Chi Xiaotong took the two children to the warehouse, picked up a few big potatoes, and took the potatoes to the kitchen.
At this time, Tian Yu was playing with Tuan Tuan in the house, while Chi Xiaotong led the two children, squatting in front of the stove, poking the fire with sticks.
Since the new pot was started, Chi Xiaotong has not touched it once!
Except for the autumn harvest period, Tian Yu never used Chi Xiaotong for kitchen work because he disliked Chi Xiaotong for being clumsy.
He keeps all the seasoning tools in a classified manner and puts them back where he took them from when he needs them. After cooking, the room is still tidy.
Every time Chi Xiaotong cooks, it's like a war, the whole place is a mess. She puts the used things wherever she wants and collects them together after cooking.
Although Chi Xiaotong would clean up immediately after every job and the place would be tidy after finishing, Tian Yu felt the process was messy.
I can handle this matter myself, so there is no need for Chi Xiaotong to make trouble.
This time, Chi Xiaotong took the two children into the kitchen while Tian Yu was not paying attention. If Tian Yu saw her, she would not be needed.
She wanted to show off her skills, so she fried some French fries! Unfortunately, there was no ketchup, but it would be delicious with some salt.
Chi Xiaotong was full of confidence. She cut potatoes, soaked them in water, and heated oil in a pan. Just as she was about to fry them, she looked up and saw Tian Yu standing at the door holding Tuan Tuan, and Tu Dou squatting at his feet.
"Wife, didn't I say that I cook? Are you hungry or are the children hungry?" As he said that, he came in and wanted to give Tuantuan to Chi Xiaotong.
After holding the baby many times, Chi Xiaotong found the trick. Tuantuan quite likes to be held by Chi Xiaotong. When Tian Yu handed him to her, he opened his little arms and asked for a hug.
Chi Xiaotong didn't answer, but stopped Tian Yu from getting close to the frying pan: "Be careful not to get splashed with oil! No one is hungry, I just suddenly wanted to make some snacks for the kids!"
"Take the child and stay away. Let your wife show you her skills!" Chi Xiaotong signaled Tian Yu to stay away from here.
The oil is already hot and will pop when you put the potatoes in.
Tianyu retreated, and the two big ones hid behind him. Potato heard the "crackling" sound and ran out in fear.
Food is fried quickly, and in a short while, Chi Xiaotong had already taken the French fries out of the pan.
Yuanyuan took Tuantuan in her brother's arms. Tuantuan was very well behaved in her brother's arms, blinking her big eyes and looking over there.
Tian Yu went over and saw the remaining oil in the pot: "My dear wife, this oil can still be used, right?" It would be such a waste if it couldn't be used!
"Sure! Let me do it in a minute!" Chi Xiaotong picked up a French fry and fed it to Tian Yu's mouth. "Open your mouth! Be careful of the heat!"
Tian Yu opened his mouth obediently, but was still scalded and gasped.
"I told you it's hot!" Chi Xiaotong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Manman, come, take the plate inside and eat with your brother!" He then said to Tianyu, "You can come and eat too! I'll clean up here and I'll be right back!"
"Let me clean it up! My wife doesn't even know where to put her things!"
Chi Xiaotong subconsciously wanted to explain that she knew it, but she saw Tian Yu smiling and putting back the candy jar she had just taken by mistake.
She shut up. The jars for sugar and salt were similar. Chi Xiaotong hadn't been to the kitchen for a long time, so she couldn't tell them apart. She tasted them now.
While Tian Yu was cleaning up, Chi Xiaotong was not idle either. She poured the oil from the pot into a small basin.
"Continue to use this oil next time!"
Tian Yu nodded.
When the two of them finished packing and returned to the house, they saw Manman lying on the table, staring at the French fries.
“Why don’t you eat!”
Manman suddenly became energetic: "Wait for mom and dad to come together! I just ate one, it's delicious!"
Chi Xiaotong fed each of them one: "Eat if you like. After you finish eating, mom will make more for you! No need to wait for me!"
There was no sauce, so Chi Xiaotong sprinkled more salt. It wasn't as delicious as in the previous life, but for the three people who were eating it for the first time, it was already delicious!
I even ate a lot of field fish.
