Chapter 895 The first meal in the new home (two in one chapter)
Frugality is a very good character inherited by our Chinese nation for thousands of years!
Hong Xiaoxia is not just frugal.
What Yang Qian didn't know was that although Hong Xiaoxia took all the money he and Dai Yuni gave to his mother during holidays and daily shopping for groceries, she didn't spend any of it on herself.
Hong Xiaoxia had her own pension, her daughter-in-law bought her clothes, and she secretly opened a card that no one knew about and saved the money she saved.
No, you can't say that no one knows.
"The old man said that if it's not dark, you should prevent it from raining (Hecheng dialect). Your brother makes a lot of money now, but he also spends a lot of money. There are dozens of people in the company who have to support him. No one knows what will happen in the future.
Whether the songs he sings can continue to be liked by people and whether the business can continue. Mom saved the money for him just in case one day..."
Hong Xiaoxia told her youngest daughter.
When her daughter grows up, she needs to be more considerate. Even Yang Shihan is careless, which makes her worry.
Why not prepare for Yang Shihan?
Because Hong Xiaoxia understood that as long as Yang Qian was fine, she would not miss her sister's food. The little money she saved was nothing compared to the film funds that Dai Yuni promised to invest in Yang Shihan.
But if Yang Qian is down one day, the only one who can save his brother is Yang Shihan, his sister.
Too far away...
"We're not going to a restaurant, we're eating at home. But what I mean is, we don't want to go back to the house, we're going to eat in this yard."
Yang Qian explained to his mother with a smile.
"Eating outside here? That's fine. You should be able to sit here and eat, but you're afraid of burning your butt..."
Hong Xiaoxia hugged Yang Xiaozhao and turned around to look at the stone tables and chairs on the lawn.
In fact, if the sunshade folding umbrellas were opened in advance and the stone tables and benches were covered, it would not be too hot. But today they had just moved here and had no such plan, so they just sat on the stone table that had been burned by the sun all day.
Stool, I guess it will be very uncomfortable for your butt!
"You don't have to sit on it. I have a picnic cloth in the car for going to the park and spread it on the lawn. Then we all sit on the lawn to eat, and little Zhaozhao can also lie on it and play. Today we will simply eat a little and make a
A bit of a western style dinner.”
Yang Qian's head was spinning very quickly, and while he was describing it to his mother, he had already thought about what he was going to make for dinner.
...
"You don't want to take a shower? What are you going to make delicious food tonight?"
Dai Yuni came down from the shower in their bedroom bathroom and saw the back of Yang Qian busy in the kitchen.
"I didn't buy food tonight, so I just ate whatever was in the refrigerator. I plan to create a picnic-like atmosphere in our yard. You first go get the picnic mat from the car and spread it on the lawn. By the way, we are not the first one.
Do you want to check in for one day? It’s just a good time to celebrate by yourself. Look at the lights, dolls, toys, etc., you can decorate them.”
Yang Qian's hands kept working, but he arranged tasks for Dai Yuni.
"No problem, I'll get it right away. How can you simply eat it? You've cut so many side dishes."
Before Dai Yuni left, she enthusiastically commented on Yang Qian.
Indeed, Yang Qian now has several plates of side dishes in front of him, such as chopped onions, chopped bacon, chopped ham, tomato slices, diced peppers, and even a few thawed prawns next to them. Yang Qian is serving them
Peel the shell.
It looks like an unusual posture!
But in fact, Yang Qian is also facing the problem of "it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw"!
They had been busy all day and had no time to go to the supermarket, and they couldn't spare the time for grandma Hong Xiaoxia to buy vegetables, so now they don't have many vegetables in the refrigerator!
Fortunately, they moved here from Runyuan Bund Mingyuan, so they didn’t have to bring other items with them. However, in order not to spoil the condiments in the kitchen, remaining vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator, and frozen fish and meat, they had to move them.
Came over.
Although it was not much, and there was no corn (grains) or green peas that Yang Qian wanted very much, Yang Qian still took out some common vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and peppers that were easier to preserve.
The most important thing is that they still had the bread they bought for breakfast yesterday (because all the ingredients were packed), and there was a bag of white toast that was too dry and unpalatable, so they kept it intact.
This bag of white toast will make it easier!
Yang Qian first spread tomato sauce on each piece of toast, smoothed it out, and then placed chopped bacon, chopped shrimp, chopped onions, and diced tomatoes on top.
Because his mother, Hong Xiaoxia, couldn't eat spicy food, Yang Qian just put a few extra slices of chili rings on the toast for Dai Yuni and himself.
Without corn kernels and green peas, Yang Qian couldn't make it colorful, and the legendary rainbow pizza couldn't take shape.
But it doesn’t matter. Yang Qian still tried his best to separate the red of the tomatoes, the purple of the onions, the white of the shrimp (which will turn red later), and the pale purple of the bacon, in order to create a clear layer of colors in the later stage.
As for the chili rings he and Dai Yuni ate, Yang Qian also carefully decorated them with a sense of symmetry!
What I don’t need to take so seriously is the cheese shredded!
Because Dai Yuni likes to eat brushed cheese baked goods, so Yang Qian and the others have mozzarella cheese in their refrigerator.
Yang Qian broke the frozen mozzarella cheese into pieces and sprinkled it randomly on their toast pizza. Of course, the amount should not be too much or too little!
If there is too much cheese, it will be full of cheese when you bite into it. The taste will lack hierarchy, and the appearance will lack beauty, covering up the color hierarchy that Yang Qian said he wanted to express.
And if there is too little cheese, it will not taste like pizza, and the many ingredients spread on it will not stick to it and will scatter as soon as you pick it up.
After they were ready, Yang Qian sent them into the large oven that had been preheated in advance.
The kitchen of Yang Qian's new home is definitely a holy place that all housewives and house cooks dream of!
The spacious and bright kitchen is comparable in area to the living room of an ordinary home. Even if four or five people work together, it will not feel crowded!
There is a dazzling array of kitchen utensils and baking utensils, all of which are available, and the refrigerator is an extra-large version, and the oven is also a large oven that can directly hold six pieces of toast without layering - Yang Qian considers that most of the time he makes it by himself.
rice, so I didn’t learn how some people separate Chinese cooking and Western cooking.
There is also a bright and clean cooking atmosphere. When Yang Qian is washing and chopping vegetables, he can look out from the large kitchen window and look at his mother and wife who have laid out mats and can’t wait to put Yang Xiaozhao on to play with them.
He couldn't help but smile.
Of course, there is a small door in the kitchen that leads directly to the courtyard, but this is not convenient for Yang Qian to prepare dinner and send it out.
With this small door, Hong Xiaoxia can go directly into the kitchen to deal with the groceries when she comes home, without having to worry about bypassing the living room and having smelly sewage dripping on the floor.
Yang Qian's kitchen in Runyuan Bund Mingyuan is actually not too small, but compared to the current one, Yang Qian still likes this kitchen better.
Like many virtuous and family-loving men, Yang Qian feels that with this kitchen, he can cook more delicious food for his family!
"Cluck! Cluck!"
"Ding!"
Just when Yang Qian was looking at Dai Yuni who was having a great time taking pictures of his daughter on the lawn, a crisp reminder sound from the oven attracted his attention.
“Roasted to perfection!”
What Yang Qian was worried about about the new oven not being properly calibrated did not happen. At 180 degrees, in twelve minutes, it perfectly melted all the cheese, cooked all the ingredients, and baked the toast until it was crispy.
Not broken, not overdone!
Take them out of the hot oven dish and arrange them one by one on a white ceramic plate.
The golden and fragrant toast, the bright colors, and the delicate ingredients, set against the white ceramic plate, immediately show its superb appearance that makes people eat their fingers!
Then garnish the plate with blanched and even cooked broccoli, and this alternative and delicious Western-style dinner is ready!
“It’s time to serve!”
Yang Qian came out with a plate and shouted,
"Daddy is here, daddy is here!"
Dai Yuni patted Yang Xiaozhao, who was lying on the mat, and shouted with a smile.
