MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 116
I don’t know if it’s because Qingfeng Town is closer to the south. This year is a warm winter. The Chinese New Year is much warmer than last year.
The dragon and phoenix tires have their own exclusive seats. Before Li Yufeng left, he knitted two baby artifacts, which were similar to the small chairs of the walkers of later generations. They were tightly wrapped with rags, and a small cushion was made in the middle, but there was no The wheels need to be moved manually. The doll can sit on the inside, covered on all sides, and has a backrest, so the hands and feet can be exposed to move. When the brothers wash things in the patio, the two little guys sit in their seats and bask in the sun. The sun listened to the small radio and happily watched the hard work of the brothers.
Yes, the radio at home is already in use. After Hancheng has adjusted the channel, let them stop moving, just plug in the power and press the switch. Now the cubs can listen to the radio and work while talking. Xiaodoubao stopped talking and listened to the radio quietly.
It seems that as long as the sound comes from the radio, no matter what the content is, it sounds good.
Although the sun is shining, the water in winter is still very cold, and the kitchen has to keep burning hot water. After washing the first course, first wipe it with warm water, then use well water again, and put it in the yard to dry after washing. Dry.
The things that can be moved in the house are moved outside to wash, and the things that cannot be moved are wrapped in newspapers. Su Xiaoxiao followed Li Yufeng's way of tying a broom head on top of the long bamboo and wearing a mask to remove the spiders from the roof and walls little by little. net and dust.
It's just that this job is too tiring, Su Xiaoxiao has to rest for a while after sweeping a room, otherwise her neck will be sore.
When Han Cheng got home, the cleaning work was in full swing. The children were wearing waterproof plastic bags on their feet and wearing small raincoats to wash things. This chic look matched their serious washing and brushing. Han Cheng wanted to laugh. , Su Xiaoxiao can think of it.
The cubs who are working hard are very happy to see Han Cheng coming home, and say hello:
"dad…"
"Baba..."
"Uncle..."
Han Cheng rubbed his head one by one: "Good job."
Going to tease the dragon and phoenix again, Xiaoroubao disliked his father for blocking him from watching his brothers work, and Xiaoroubao patted his father's hand.
Han Cheng pinched his chubby little face: "You are the most fierce, can you learn from your sister's gentleness?"
The little meat bun was twisted and twisted so that his father would not pinch it. The little dumpling tilted his little head, and his **** grape-like eyes watched his brother interact with his father.
Han Cheng looked at the quiet and beautiful little girl, his heart softened, and he gently touched her face: "Sister is the best."
Su Xiaoxiao was leaning in front of the door pinching her neck, and when she heard them speak, she put her hands down.
Han Cheng put down his briefcase and reached out to rub Su Xiaoxiao's neck: "You leave it alone, let me do it later, go and sit there and I will help you squeeze your neck."
Han Cheng led her to a dry chair and sat down, gently rubbing her neck.
Su Xiaoxiao was basking in the warm sun and was a little drowsy: "Hancheng, let's have dinner, I'll make the living room and bathroom in the afternoon, and I'll make the kitchen together after you come back from get off work, I really can't handle those oil stains. "
Han Cheng said, "It's okay, just wait for me to come back, you can rest in the afternoon."
Su Xiaoxiao shook his head: "My mother said, the year 28 is sloppy, you can't finish it until 12 o'clock in the evening, it's the year 29, let's go and have dinner, let's eat a little full at noon, and simply eat at night. Noodles have to work."
Su Xiaoxiao said to the cubs again: "Cubs, wash your hands, take off the raincoat and shoe covers and hang them on the chair. Let's have a full meal and then dry it in the afternoon. Be sure to wash the sloppy things today. Now go and help Comrade Hancheng have dinner!"
Several well-trained cubs answered in unison: "Report to mother/mama/aunt, received!"
When the words fell, the cubs quickly took off their equipment and washed their hands and ran to the kitchen.
Han Cheng raised his lips: "The training is really good, none of Zhao Xianfeng's soldiers are as obedient as them."
Su Xiaoxiao lazily closed her eyes and basked in the sun: "My cubs, be good, go and bring out that pot of sauerkraut stewed noodle sausage, it's just one dish today."
Han Cheng rubbed Su Xiaoxiao's head up along her neck: "I won't cook if I work hard, I have to do it."
The little dumplings were babbling over there. Su Xiaoxiao counted the time. The little girl should be hungry: "Wait a minute, little dumplings, and let my father eat rice paste for you."
Xiaoroubao probably understood the rice paste, and his ears were pricked up.
"How long has it been since you finished eating Xiaoroubao? Are you hungry again?" Su Xiaoxiao was a little speechless about Xiaoroubao. The little guy really ate too much, and his appetite was almost twice that of Xiaotangyuan, so he ate fast. , when he saw the small glutinous rice balls, he still wanted to eat them, and sometimes the small glutinous rice **** he couldn't finish would be wrapped up, so he looked white and chubby, and everyone who had seen him thought he was at least eight or nine months old. People who don't know don't believe that he is only a few minutes away from Xiao Tangyuan.
Lunch was eaten in the yard. Han Cheng brought the dishes to the table and let the children serve rice. He brought some rice paste over to feed the small dumplings and asked Su Xiaoxiao what was wrong.
Su Xiaoxiao asked him worriedly: "Han Cheng, are you eating too much pork buns? I'm always worried that he's growing too fast."
Su Xiaoxiao's words are quite obscure. I don't know if it's because there are no fat babies these days. Babies like Xiaotangyuan are already well-developed. Xiaoroubao is the meatiest of all the babies she has seen here. The toot one is not obese, but the fat is like a big white steamed bun, with hands and feet section by section, it takes a long time to wash the meat in the crevices to help him take a bath. meaty.
Su Xiaoxiao used to watch short videos in her past life, but she often saw chubby babies, but I can't compare Su Xiaoxiao here and I'm not sure whether Xiaoroubao is too fat.
Han Cheng remembered that Su Xiaoxiao was worried when the rice **** first started to eat a lot. Others were worried that the child was too thin, but she was better, worried that the child was too fat: "Just relax, some children have a faster metabolism and are more prone to hunger. It’s okay if you don’t accumulate food, the little meat buns love to move, it’s normal to eat a little bit, and the child is still young, it’s okay to have a little meat, and when you can crawl and walk, you will naturally lose weight as soon as you exercise.”
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiaoroubao stared at each other, pinching his chubby little face: "Is that so? Xiaoroubao, tell your mother, are you really hungry or greedy?"
Xiaoroubao ignored his mother, and when he saw his father feeding his sister, he also turned his head and opened his mouth to eat.
Su Xiaoxiao was still very worried: "I always wonder if I feed him mutton soup too early, he wants to eat everything he sees now."
Han Cheng fed Xiaoroubao a sip by the way: "It's okay, the child can eat, sleep and pull without any problem. You go to eat first, and I will eat later."
Xiaoroubao took a bite of his sister's egg yolk and rice paste, and he was reluctant to let go of the small spoon, and his eyes narrowed with joy.
Su Xiaoxiao pinched his face: "I'm afraid of you, you little greedy cat quickly let go."
Xiaodou came over with a piece of sausage and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Mama, can my brother try this?"
Su Xiaoxiao touched Xiaodoubao's head: "My brother is too young to eat, Xiaodoubao eats it by himself."
Xiaodoubao said: "soft and slippery, can't my brother eat it?"
Su smiled and said, "You can't feed my brother these things until he has teeth. They can't eat everything we eat, or they will choke, remember?"
Xiaoroubao has already reached out to grab it, and Xiaodoubao quickly puts the powder sausage into his mouth and bites: "Xiaoroubao can't eat it yet, this brother will help you eat it, and you can eat it when you grow up~~~"
Xiaoroubao thought his brother was teasing him, so he twisted and patted the fence in anger.
In the end, Xiaotangyuan and Xiaoroubao ate up a bowl of egg yolk rice paste together. Xiaotangyuan had a small appetite, and most of them went into Xiaoroubao's stomach. Only then did Xiaoroubao feel satisfied and no longer croak.
The salty and sour appetizing sauerkraut is paired with the soft and glutinous rice sausage stewed, and the whole family has another satisfying meal.
After the lunch break, work continued, and the whole family was busy for another whole afternoon. After Hancheng came back, the whole family simply finished the noodles and continued to wash the kitchen. It was not until eight or nine in the evening that they cleaned the house and the outside.
The two little cubs had already eaten and slept soundly.
The big cubs were so tired that they didn't even want to take a shower, lying on the mat.
But lying in a room where they have worked so hard to make it clean and even the air is a little fresher, they have a great sense of accomplishment.
The rice ball suggested, "Mom and Dad, it's so hard to wash the mess, can we wash it again every two years in the future?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "We got so dirty because we went back to my grandma's house for the New Year last year and didn't wash it thoroughly. From now on, it won't be so dirty if we wash it once a year."
Dabao and Xiaobao agree very much: "We also move everything to the river to wash at home every year, but last year was too cold and the river froze again. If you do it casually, it is estimated that grandma will also have a hard time this year."
Su smiled and said, "You guys go take a bath with your father. I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow. Let's open the frying pan and fry the New Year's goods!"
The cubs came back to life with a whimper and followed their father to take a bath.
On the twenty-ninth year of the year, open the oil pan to fry the New Year's goods.
Sugar rings are actually made of glutinous rice flour and sugar, rolled into long strips, made into various shapes and fried in a frying pan.
The glutinous rice flour was not prepared much, and Su Xiaoxiao let the cubs use their imaginations. One person can make two of them and make them into any shape they like. After frying, they can eat by themselves, or they can give them to friends to eat.
The children make sugar rings, and Su Xiaoxiao makes oil horns.
The practice of oil horns is a bit more complicated, but compared to sugar rings, Su Xiaoxiao prefers to eat this.
Beat eggs into the flour, try not to put water, then add caster sugar milk powder and a little baking powder to knead into a smooth dough, wrap it with a clean cloth and let it stand for half an hour to wake up.
After the dough wakes up, use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin sheet, and use a small bowl as a mold to print a small dough similar to the dumpling skin for use.
The filling is peanuts that are fried until fragrant and crushed into pureed peanuts and mixed with one-to-one fine sugar.
The method of wrapping and making dumplings are actually the same principle. The stuffing is wrapped in half and kneaded to form a beautiful pattern. When the oil pan is 70% hot, it is slowly fried in the oil pan until the surface is hard and becomes golden yellow similar to egg yolk. Float it out and let it cool before eating.
The remaining leftovers, Su Xiaoxiao, were not wasted, and the delicious eggs were scattered as soon as they were fried.
A small oil horn is crispy and sweet, and the fragrant smell on the cheeks can make people want to stop. It can be eaten in three or two bites, not to mention children, even adults want to eat it again.
Although the egg rolls are not filled with fillings, they are delicious.
The cubs first tasted an egg powder. The milky and eggy aromas melted in the mouth. They already thought it was delicious. The oil horns wrapped in peanut white sugar are so delicious.
The cubs couldn't wait to watch the oil horns floating up in the frying pan, and their saliva was about to drip into the frying pan.
Su Xiaoxiao tried to fry as much as possible, and asked the cubs to send some to Xiaoyuer and Dundun.
This thing was too hot when it came out of the pot, and Su Xiaoxiao only allowed each cub to eat one.
After eating one, even Xiaodoubao, who is not greedy, asked: "Mama, can I eat another one, this is the best snack I have ever eaten in Xiaodoubao, it's delicious~~~"
The little rice ball looked at his mother eagerly.
Although Dabao and Xiaobao can eat it occasionally during the Chinese New Year, but grandma is not willing to cut the ingredients without aunt, first of all, grandma is not willing to put whole eggs and milk powder to knead the dough, so naturally it is not as crunchy and delicious as aunt's.
"Auntie, we also want to eat another one."
Su Xiaoxiao softened her heart, and approved each of them to eat one more: "I really can only eat one more, or you will eat them all before the New Year."
The cubs are not greedy, they are very satisfied to eat another one, they are happy to run errands, and send them to Xiaoyuer and Dundun while they are hot.
As a result, they met Xiaoyuer and Dundun Yaya who also came to deliver things to their house halfway through. The three party cubs exchanged things directly on the way, and said how delicious the food they made was delicious.
Xiaoyuer: "My mother's glutinous rice cakes are filled with peanut candy, soft and glutinous and delicious!"
Dundun and Yaya: "My grandma made a big fried dumpling. A small lump of flour can become the size of a football. It's very crispy and delicious!"
The little rice ball didn't argue with them, for fear that they would steal it on the way, so he said, "My mother's fried yakisoba is just so-so, you can try it when you get home, I don't have time to play with you today, we want to Go back to help and go home."
The three cubs exchanged good things and went home to find their mothers.
It wasn't until Xiao Yu'er and Dun Dun Yaya went home and tasted the oil croquettes made by Aunt Su that they knew what they had missed. The fluffy and crispy egg skin with a faint milky fragrance was accompanied by the crispy fragrance of peanut candy. It was so delicious that the adults tried it and hid it all from them!
Xiao Yu'er and Dun Dun called the little rice ball big liar, if they had told them that the oil jasper was so delicious, they could have eaten two more on the way back, liar, liar, big liar!
