Chapter 0745 Visiting Relatives and Friends and Nephew (Part 2)
After a while, the little girl who was visiting with Mrs. Zhou Yan came back and saw a room full of guests. She was a little dumbfounded: "Next year, we will tear down the old house and build a villa directly..."
It is naturally impossible to build a villa. The village is flat and every household has a bungalow. If one of the houses is stacked one storey above the other, the lighting of the neighbors behind will definitely be affected.
"Our income is pretty good this year," Mrs. Zhou Yan glanced at the exterior wall with a smile, "Let's spend 18,000 yuan as a family and push the house to be rebuilt!"
"Third sister," Xiao Jinzi's face suddenly became serious, "just flip the house and let Yulin pay for it..."
At this time, Mrs. Zhou Yan remembered that she was already part of the Zhou family: "Then we won't get involved. We can always help, right?"
"Just leave the design to my nephew's wife," the second aunt smiled and arranged the task for Qin Ruoshu, "You should have seen our family and my little sister's family. I think it's pretty good..."
"Then we have to trouble my nephew..." Xiao Jinzi turned his attention to Zhou Yan, who was already free, "It won't affect Xiao Qin's work, right?"
"She hangs out in the company and earns free wages. She doesn't go out during weekends. She is eager to have something to do..." Zhou Yan smiled, "Besides, her usual job is
I helped do it..."
His wife had already started to roll her eyes, and Zhou Yan was naturally embarrassed to continue talking...
The side dishes are all ready, and the big boiled rooster is also in the pot. Because we are going to make stir-fried chicken, boil the water and the chicken will be ready.
After chicken, there are fish and mutton.
Fortunately, my uncle's business of opening a shop has been moved back to his hometown. Otherwise, my grandma's house would be too busy to accommodate four or five tables with just two stoves, one large and one small.
Here Zhou Yan is chopping chickens and preparing vegetables, and over there the little concubine and others have put the mutton on the earthen stove and turned on the fire.
When the mutton was put into the pot, the little girl suddenly stood up and said: "It's broken, I forgot to buy cakes!"
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and glanced at the time: "It's not even ten o'clock yet, there's still time to make it fresh. Little girl, is the gas-fired water frying pan that my uncle had when he opened the shop still there?"
"Here, here, I'll call someone to clean it up..."
Zhou Yan still has to make noodles.
In my hometown, I like to eat mutton soup with pancakes, not sesame pancakes, but large pot pancakes with a diameter of one meter, which are fragrant and crispy.
It tastes delicious but is troublesome to make.
If you want to make a crispy noodle pancake, the dough must be tempered many times, and the heat is not easy to control. You have to turn it over every few seconds. Even if the heat is low, it will not be cooked properly.
As the only man in the kitchen team, the task of rolling and kneading the dough naturally fell to Zhou Yan.
There is no need to knead the hard dough, just cut a piece according to the size of the pot and knead the dough continuously until the dough is soft and shiny.
Then use a long rolling pin to flatten it and roll it into a round shape.
Light a fire in the pot and brush it with a little oil to make sure it doesn't burn.
Then put the pot cake into the pot and prick it with chopsticks to facilitate ventilation and prevent the pot from sticking.
When the cake changes color slightly, you can flip it over.
"Classmate Zhou Yan, you can make a fortune just by relying on your craftsmanship," my aunt joked with a smile, "In the past, there were several companies in the town that could make pot cakes, but now there is only one left that can make it."
Qin Ruoshu, who was standing aside to watch the excitement, looked at her mother-in-law: "Mom, does the mutton soup here in Qingya always go with this kind of cake?"
Zhou Yan, who was busy working, suddenly turned red.
I was making mutton soup at home a while ago, but because I didn't have the tools, I made sesame seed cakes. I even told my wife that this was a local specialty; now, looking at Qin Ruoshu's behavior, she is going to settle an old score.
Because there were so many customers, Zhou Yan made four or five sheets before stopping. But when he was done, there was still a ball of dough left, which was not enough to make the whole sheet, and it was a bit wasteful to leave it alone.
"You can figure it out on your own!" The old woman in charge of making the dough just threw the blame away.
However, this does not trouble Chef Zhou.
"Mom, go and cut half a catty of braised pork, preferably with braised soup..."
Qin Ruoshu on the side naturally knew that her husband was planning to make Roujiamo.
Divide the large dough into small pieces, follow the same method as pot cakes, and make "horse-killing chicken" on the dough pieces, then roll them into cakes and put them in the pot.
There was still room for the remaining pot, so Zhou Yan could only process the braised pork first, put it in a frying spoon, and heat it directly on the briquette stove.
While taking care of the braised pork, you also have to turn the white buns.
Soon, the white steamed buns were ready.
"Ruoshu, get some green pepper shreds and coriander."
The process of making Roujiamo is quite simple, just stew the meat, cut the bun, and add the ingredients.
The Roujiamo is ready here, and the Baiji Mo in the pot is also ready...
After working for more than half an hour, the little guests from home each had a meat bun. Xu Wenjing and Qin Ruoshu enjoyed the treatment they deserve by virtue of their status as guests.
As for Chef Zhou's welfare, it was given to Li Jinling, who was also Zhou Yan's little follower.
After finishing the pot cakes, several rooms began to put away the tables, chairs and benches to allow guests to take their seats and prepare for the banquet.
With the few cold dishes at the front, as well as the elbows and seafood that only need to be steamed in a pot, Zhou Yan doesn't have that much pressure to cook, but it only takes a few minutes to prepare the dish.
In other words, stews and other dishes take a little time.
Twelve hot dishes were served, and Zhou Yan was pushed to the "children's table" by the little girl. With Zhou Yan, there were cousins, cousins, cousins, his girlfriend, and his cousin who chose a house.
cousin.
Qin Ruoshu had already finished a meat bun, and during the Chinese New Year, he had plenty of fish and meat every day, so he was naturally excited for food.
After Zhou Yan had been busy all morning, his stomach had already begun to growl, so naturally he could eat to his heart's content.
The eldest cousin Sun Xingkai on the side looked at Zhou Yan's eating appearance and was a little dumbfounded: "Brother, slow down, he is also the boss after all..."
"Boss, how can a boss do his own work? By the way..." Zhou Yan raised his head and looked at his cousin with a smile, "There are a few clerks in your department who are not bad looking, so hurry up and start..."

"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!" Feng Jun on the side said, "Zhou Yan, his office is on the same floor as his younger siblings, and they have lunch together!"
"Brother," Zhou Yan looked at Sun Xingkai with a smile, "are you familiar with Li Qinqin in your department?"
My cousin hesitated slightly and looked at Zhou Yan in surprise: "Come on, what's wrong?"
"Her old man is from the Water Conservancy Bureau. If we capture her, we will save decades of struggle..."
"No," Sun Xingkai frowned, "Her usual clothes and shoes are not very high-end, and the mobile phone she uses is still the same style from two years ago..."
Zhou Yan and Feng Jun looked at each other and smiled knowingly...
"Nephew, what does Li Qinqin look like?" The aunt at the next table suddenly turned around and looked at him with a smile.
"Mom, how did he know?"
"Why don't I know?" Zhou Yan took out his mobile phone, searched in the company's office system, found the resume photo submitted by Li Qinqin, and handed it to his aunt.
"Hey, this girl is good-looking and quiet. The key is..." The second aunt looked at her elder cousin with a smile, "The family is in good condition, Kaikai. The second aunt has a suggestion for you, hurry up and get it..."
"You haven't even written the horoscope yet!" Sun Xingkai glared at Zhou Yan angrily.
"What does she think of you?" Zhou Yan naturally took advantage of the situation.
"It's okay!" My cousin's answer was a bit belittling.
"So what do you think of her?"
"Not bad!" This time my cousin felt embarrassed to belittle others.
"Then let's get married. The man is affectionate and the concubine is interested. What else do you need?"
"She probably can't cook!"
"That's not a problem," Zhou Yan smiled, "I will give you special training later. Not only will you be trained to be a chef, but at the very least, you will be trained to be a family cook..."
