"Why did you come back so early today, the food isn't ready yet!

Are you hungry? Let me fry you some tomatoes and eggs?"

Li Xianglan, who was cleaning old hens in the backyard, saw Cao Chunyuan and immediately stopped what she was doing and stood up.

Cao Chunyuan quickly waved her hands and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry, just go about your business!"

Cao Chunmei, who was secretly following Cao Chunyuan, trotted up to Li Xianglan, hugged Li Xianglan's thigh, and said: "Mom, my sister is bragging that she will make delicious food for me. I want to eat chestnut chicken, so I won't eat the delicious food she made."

Of."

Um?

Li Xianglan was stunned and secretly thought that you came back so early today, didn’t you want to ‘show off your skills’?

With your cooking skills, there is no need for this!

Li Xianglan patted Cao Chunmei on the back and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, your sister wants to make delicious food for you. Whether it is delicious or not, you have to accept your sister's favor."

Seeing that Li Xianglan did not recognize her cooking skills, Cao Chunyuan's face became even darker.

Originally, she just wanted to make some spicy strips for her family to try and give her some advice. Who would have thought that no one would recognize her "Chef Cao" cooking skills, which is intolerable!

I just want to show off my cooking skills today.

"Mom, just wait and see, I'm sure it will surprise you!"

Before Li Xianglan could speak, Cao Chunmei started to add fuel to the fire again.

"Just a little bit, sister is bragging!"

Cao Chunyuan waved her fist at Cao Chunmei and said viciously: "Humph, if you can, don't eat it for a while!"

“If you don’t want to eat, don’t eat~”

"Humph", Cao Chunyuan stopped arguing with the little girl and rushed into the kitchen with gritted teeth.

After entering the kitchen, Cao Chunyuan first looked for various ingredients, including high-gluten flour, five-spice powder, cumin powder, white sugar, white sesame seeds, salt, soy sauce, and dried chili peppers.

"Huh, luckily my family is affluent now. In the past, I would have only had salt and MSG."

Cao Chunyuan whispered softly as she took out a large basin, put in a large bowl of high-gluten flour, and kneaded it into dough. After that, she found another basin and filled it with half a basin of water. She put the kneaded dough into the water and repeated it.

Knead until the dough feels stringy. (Making gluten)

Cao Chunyuan was busy when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Sister, what are you doing?"

Cao Chunyuan knew that Cao Chunlong was here without looking back. She continued her work, kneading the dough, and responded: "I'll make delicious food for you. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again!"

"oh?"

Cao Chunlong showed a very interested look, and without Cao Chunyuan saying a word, he took the initiative to walk to the stove and help Cao Chunyuan light the fire. Cao Chunyuan was very satisfied with Cao Chunlong's reaction, smiled sweetly at Cao Chunlong, and continued her work.

Although Cao Chunlong was full of questions and wanted to know what Cao Chunyuan was planning to do, he was able to suppress his curiosity and concentrate on helping Cao Chunyuan make fire and act as a qualified assistant.

Soon, Cao Chunyuan's preliminary process was completed. She found more than 10 bamboo chopsticks and wrapped the dough around the chopsticks.

Seeing Cao Chunyuan's incredible operation, even Cao Chunlong, who is as steady as an old dog, couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Haha, you will know in a minute. Brother, help me boil some water."

"Okay~"

Although he was skeptical about Cao Chunyuan's operation, Cao Chunlong still cooperated with Cao Chunyuan and added 2 ladles of water to the big pot.

Soon, the chopsticks in Cao Chunyuan's hands were covered with gluten, and the water in the pot began to boil.

In Cao Chunlong's surprised eyes, Cao Chunyuan put more than 10 chopsticks wrapped with gluten into the large pot and covered the lid. Then she ran aside, cleaned the basin where the noodles were kneaded, and filled half a basin of cold water.

About 5 minutes later, Cao Chunyuan opened the lid of the pot, took out the 'chopsticks' from the pot, and put them in a basin to cover with water.

"This, is this noodles?"

Cao Chunyuan rolled her eyes speechlessly, thinking, even the most honest brother doesn't trust me?

If I wanted to make noodles, would it take so long?

"You'll find out later."

As she said that, Cao Chunyuan picked up the chopsticks that had cooled down in the basin and rolled them with her hands to get a long spiral gluten.

After finishing the gluten in the basin, she repeated the previous steps, wrapped all the remaining gluten around the chopsticks, and then put it in the pot to heat.

"Brother, you can pour out the water in the pot. I want to fry the gluten."

"okay!"

Cao Chunlong was now numb. He couldn't feel Cao Chunyuan's pulse at all, so he could only follow Cao Chunyuan's wishes and strike her.

After another half hour, Cao Chunyuan fried all the gluten.

Cao Chunlong looked at a large bowl full of fried gluten, scratched the back of his head, and secretly thought that Cao Chunyuan didn't know where she learned the 'dark cuisine' from. This thing has no seasoning at all, so it's weird that it tastes good.

You may really be embarrassed in front of my little sister this time.

Alas, I will cooperate with you when the time comes and eat more to save you from sadness!

Just when Cao Chunlong was thinking about how to help Cao Chunyuan regain his respect, Cao Chunyuan was preparing for the last step. She poured out the hot oil in the pot, leaving only a small part.

Then add five-spice powder, cumin powder, sugar, white sesame seeds, salt, soy sauce, chili powder and other seasonings to the oil.

Instantly, a heat wave appeared in the pot that was a bit eye-piercing.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Chunyuan poured the fried gluten in the basin into the pot and stir-fried it back and forth.

"Brother, no need to add heat!"

"Oh~"

Cao Chunlong mechanically stopped what he was doing, and involuntarily sniffed the aroma in the pot.

Suddenly, he felt that what Cao Chunyuan was cooking was not dark cuisine, but probably a kind of delicacy he had never seen before.

Cao Chunyuan noticed Cao Chunlong's little move and asked with a smile: "Smell it, I told you I would make delicious food for you, but you still don't believe it."

Cao Chunlong touched his nose awkwardly and asked a little embarrassedly: "What did you do? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Hey, this is called spicy strips. The chili peppers I brought back today are going to be dried and used to make spicy strips. I was in a hurry today, so I used the chili noodles at home first."

"Spicy strips? This name is quite realistic. Have you ever eaten them before?"

Cao Chunyuan nodded and said excitedly: "Of course, I have not only eaten spicy strips, but also stinky dried seeds and big knife meat. When I have time in the future, I will cook them for you!"

Hearing the words "stinky god", Cao Chunlong instinctively resisted, but he couldn't bear to refuse Cao Chunyuan's kindness, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

"haha okay!"

"What are you doing, why is it so choked?"

Li Xianglan, who was outside the house, smelled the pungent smell coming from the kitchen and hurried into the kitchen, just in time to see Cao Chunyuan stirring the gluten in the wok.

Watching the inside of the pot being deep-fried until golden brown and coated with a layer of chili noodles and sesame seeds, it was enough to make the kids next door crave the spicy strips.

Li Xianglan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Is this what you call delicious?"

"Yes, these are called spicy strips, and they will be out of the pot right away. Let the flavor infuse first, and then you can eat them after they cool down a little!

However, this one may be a bit spicy, so my little girl probably won’t be able to eat it!”

Cao Chunmei, who was hiding behind Li Xianglan, stuck out her little head and said unconvinced: "My sister's cooking is not as delicious as my mother's cooking, so I don't want to eat it."

Cao Chunyuan grinned, showing her small white teeth.

"It's best if you don't eat it. I'm afraid you'll steal it from me!"

"Tch, stingy sister, I won't pay attention to you."

Seeing the angry little girl running away, Cao Chunyuan showed a victorious smile on her face.
Chapter completed!
