Delicious pepper cake 1
"It's not impossible if you want to borrow the kitchen, but there are a lot of people using the kitchen right now."
Xu Wangming was very happy when he learned that Wen Jiu was going to cook, because he finally didn't have to drink nutrient solution.
But it was now five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were quite a few people using the kitchen. He didn't know if they would mind this.
"As many people as possible, I won't blow up the kitchen." Wen Jiu shrugged nonchalantly. She was just cooking, not blowing up the kitchen.
Xu Wangming was inexplicably speechless after hearing these words, but he still took Wen Jiuqian to the kitchen.
As soon as they walked to the kitchen door, they met a round-faced nurse.
The other party was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Doctor Xu, are you bringing the patient here to perform a small surgery today?"
Wen Jiu is wearing the iconic blue and white striped hospital gown, and anyone who sees her will know that she is a patient in the hospital.
"That's right, Xiao Wen, let me introduce to you. This is Nurse Liu who lent us ingredients and dishes last time."
After hearing Xu Wangming's introduction, she smiled sweetly: "Hello, Sister Liu."
The last time she came to the kitchen to cook, there were not enough ingredients and no dishes available. Thanks to the kind-hearted Nurse Liu, she lent them to her. Now she naturally has to say hello when she meets.
"Oh, this child is so good." Although Nurse Liu has the same round face as Zhou Xia, her smile is very genuine and there is no pretentiousness like Zhou Xia's.
Since they all came to the kitchen to cook, the three of them walked in together.
It's just that Wen Jiu still didn't have any dishes or utensils to use this time. She was thinking about how to ask Nurse Liu to borrow them, but the other party generously let her use them as she pleased without saying a word.
"What ingredients or herbs do you need this time? I'll get them for you." Xu Wangming is very clear about his role as a tool, and also has the Wen Jiu theorem that if you don't work, you won't be able to eat.
Hearing this, Wen Jiu thought for a moment and then said: "I asked others to buy ingredients. You can help me knead the dough."
She plans to bake some pepper cakes, which will not take long and can be eaten by several other people.
There happened to be a small oven available in the kitchen. She estimated that baking a plate of pepper cakes would be enough. It would be inconvenient to digest the dinner if she was too full.
"Okay, let me show you my superb dough kneading skills." Xu Wangming rolled up his sleeves and walked to the sink.
There were not many people cooking in the kitchen at the moment. Apart from them and Nurse Liu, there were also a few nurses and doctors walking around inside.
They all laughed and teased Xu Wangming, saying that he actually brought the patient to set up a small stove, and even let him cook.
"What do you know?" Xu Wangming said on rare occasions when he was teased, "Go and do your own business."
He usually has a straight face. Although he has a good temper and is serious about his work, many colleagues will not take the initiative to make friends with him.
It is during this kind of leisure time that people take the opportunity to make fun of you.
As soon as the words fell, the others didn't say anything more and hurriedly made their own dinner.
Wen Jiu thought that she and Qiao Shishi would live in the hospital for a while, so he asked Li Qingyu to buy a lot of ingredients and put them here with Xu Wangming's label on them, but no one dared to take them.
And it doesn’t matter if you can’t use it all, just take it with you when you leave the hospital.
"Sister Jiu, I bought the ingredients." Li Qingyu was quite fast.
Wen Jiu had just washed the utensils and dishes when he saw him entering the door with two full pockets.
The small kitchen in the hospital is not a secret existence. If you want to use it, you can find it by asking the medical staff, but it is rare that patients come to borrow it.
"Just keep these, take the rest to Dr. Xu and ask him to put a label on the packaging."
Wen Jiu found the ingredients to make pepper cakes, and then threw the spiny fish for fish soup into the basin.
The main reason was that Qiao Shishi had lost too much weight these days, so she thought she could make a bowl of fish soup noodles to replenish her nutrition.
Although the nutrient solution prescribed by the doctor can also be supplemented, the fish soup noodles she made are her sincerity and can bring some emotional comfort to Qiao Shishi.
So Wen Jiu first removed the scales and guts of the spiny fish, then found a frying pan and started frying it.
The spiny fish gradually turned golden with the sound of frying, and everyone was attracted by the sudden aroma of oil.
She waited until the spiny fish in the pot was fried until golden brown on both sides, then poured it into the large pot and prepared to cook it slowly.
"Li Qingyu, pour a few bowls of water into that pot, then cover it and bring it to a boil over medium heat, then turn down the heat and simmer slowly for thirty minutes."
How can you eat if you don't work? Naturally, she has to arrange for people to do the work.
After saying that, Wen Jiu went to prepare pepper cakes. After kneading the dough, she asked Xu Wangming to come over and continue kneading it, because she also had to prepare another ball of dough for noodles.
Xu Wangming's kneading technique was very unfamiliar at first, but he was not a stupid person. After trying it several times, he mastered the essence of kneading the dough, and then he kneaded the dough more vigorously.
The three of them were busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner. Seeing those people who just cooked a dish and wanted to leave, they couldn't help but feel that they didn't seem to be cooking.
"I suddenly felt that my stir-fried broccoli and carrots were no longer considered vegetables. If I had known better, I would have cooked chicken breasts."
"Oh my God, look at that little girl chopping radish. How does she do it so finely? Every time I cut it, it's thicker than my fingers."
The medical staff who originally wanted to go back to the office to eat after cooking, all stood in the kitchen with their rice bowls and watched Wen Jiu.
She divided the kneaded dough into many small pieces, and then carefully wrapped the fillings.
After wrapping all the pepper cakes, she brushed them with egg wash, then sprinkled sesame seeds on them, and then put the pepper cakes into the oven.
Then she opened the lid of the pot and took a look at the cooking status of the fish soup, and then started to process another dough.
In the blink of an eye, she turned the dough into long and thin noodles.
Her movements were so skillful and neat that the medical staff were stunned for a moment.
However, before they could recover, the smell of burning in the oven filled the air.
"Li Qingyu, go over and watch." Wen Jiu still had to finish cooking the fish soup. She poured the shredded radish into it, then slowly stirred it together with a spoon for a while before closing the lid of the pot again.
As time passes little by little, the snow-white skin of the pepper cake gradually turns brown, and the sesame seeds on the surface are heated and evaporate with a faint aroma of oil.
This strange and complex fragrance, like a soul-stirring fairy, bewitched everyone present except Wen Jiu.
