Chapter 181 Salty and Sweet Perpetual Motion
Today is Nan Yi’s first day of kindergarten.
On such a grand day, Nanzhi naturally had to prepare a breakfast to suit the occasion.
She planned to make porridge.
But it’s not ordinary porridge, it’s Tingzi porridge.
There are many schools of making Tingzi porridge on the market, but Nanzhi is relatively more complicated.
The porridge base is cooked from the day before -
Put the clear water japonica rice into a thick earthen pot and boil until it boils, add chopped fish bones, pork bones, scallops, etc. Wrap it in gauze and throw it into the pot, simmering it for a full half day until the rice grains are as soft as rice.
Pick up the gauze and add fine salt, then the porridge base is ready.
The next day, Nanzhi got up early in the morning and put fresh fish fillets, roasted duck cubes, squid cubes and other ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.
The thick earthenware jar has excellent heat retention, and the bottom of the porridge is still piping hot.
Pour into a bowl and scald the fish fillets until cooked.
Finally sprinkle with fried peanuts, fried dough sticks, green onions, ginger, pepper for seasoning, etc.
The whole bowl of porridge, except for the roasted duck which was inconvenient to make because we didn’t have an oven at home, was bought from outside. The other side dishes and even the fried dough sticks were fried by Nanzhi himself.
Nanzhi specially fried the dough sticks a little more, so they can be eaten with porridge.
The fried dough sticks fried by her hands were golden, plump, and extremely crispy. They never softened in the heat of the Tingzi porridge, and they looked very good.
But remembering that Yiyi loves sweets, Nanzhi made an impromptu idea and made more sugar cakes.
The method is very simple, just fry it with hot noodles, and wrap lard and sugar inside. It is small, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Nanzhi picked one up and tasted it.
She had experience and only took a small bite. She waited for the heat to boil for a while and it was no longer so hot, and then she continued to eat carefully.
The lard and white sugar had already melted into slurry and flowed out, almost scalding Nanzhi.
But the taste is still excellent. The crispness of the outer shell and the softness of the interior are just in perfect proportion. The filling is sweet but not greasy, and because it is small, it makes people want to eat it after eating one. The second one.
Even a person like Nanzhi, who doesn’t like sweets very much, ate three candy cakes in a row before stopping.
“Gudong.”
It is the sound of swallowing saliva.
Wait, she didn’t swallow...
“One by one!”
Nanzhi turned around and saw Nanyi squatting outside the kitchen door like a puppy, looking eagerly Looking at her.
He probably got up halfway through his sleep, attracted by the smell of porridge.
I didn’t even wear any clothes, just a sleeping vest and pants.
Her hair was as messy as if it had been chewed by a dog.
The appearance was really pitiful and funny, which made Nanzhi even laugh.
“Go and change your clothes and have breakfast.”
She waved her hand, signaling Nan Yi to hurry up.
Nanyi has not moved yet.
He stared straight at the candy cake behind Nanzhi.
Sure enough, sweets are very attractive to children!
But Nanzhi did not let go:
“You have to wash up first.”
Nanyi knew that her mother had always had strict rules in this regard, and he could not do it just by acting coquettishly. vague past.
Having no choice but to stand up slowly, he left the kitchen and went to the bathroom.
After a while, Nanzhi heard the furious sound of his washing.
It’s like pressing the multiplier button.
In the blink of an eye, he had a new look and was sitting at the table waiting for his mother to feed him.
Nanzhi brought the Tingzi porridge first.
Nan Yi, who was not very interested at first, sniffed and his eyes were attracted by the Tingzi porridge in front of him.
This was the first time he saw porridge with such rich ingredients, and he was a little shocked:
"What kind of porridge is this?"
"Tingzi porridge."< br>
Nanyi was confused by Nanzhi’s answer. His tongue was tied:
"Ting... Zai?"
"It's Ting Zai. In Cantonese, it means a small boat or a small boat. Ting Zai porridge is the porridge sold on a small boat."
Nanzhi said as he brought the candy cake over.
Nanyi’s eyes were immediately attracted by the sugar cake, and she didn’t even listen carefully to Nanzhi’s explanation.
Nanzhi felt funny when he saw it, stuffed chopsticks into his hand, and reminded:
"Eat slowly, don't burn it."
Nanyi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Thinking and doing are two different things.
No matter Nan Yi was careful, the hot sugar filling still burned the tip of his tongue.
"Whoops!"
Nanyi's little face was twisted together!
Nanzhi opened the candy cake directly:
"Let it cool before eating. Let's drink porridge first."
Nanyi puffed up her little face unhappily. Son.
But this expression quickly disappeared after he tasted the taste of Tingzi porridge...
The bowl Nanzhi used was bigger than Nanyi's face, and he almost buried his head in it!
The porridge base is soft and tender, the fish fillets are just right and tender, the squid pieces are chewy and delicious, the fried dough sticks are crispy yet soft...
Full of layered differences. The taste is contained in this bowl of porridge, which is completely different from the ordinary simple white porridge!
Nanzhi took a tissue and wiped off the rice grains stuck to the tip of Nanyi’s nose:
"Is it delicious?"
Nanyi didn't even have time to say anything, so she just nodded her head.
After the candy cake was almost cool, Nanzhi took a piece of it for Nanyi.
Take a sip of Tingzi porridge and a bite of sugar cake.
Salty and sweet perpetual motion machine, delicious food rivals the gods!
It seems that the effect of this breakfast is really good.
Even all the way to the kindergarten, Nan Yi is happy and jumping up and down.
It wasn't until he stood at the door of the kindergarten that his smile faded slightly, and he felt a dull sense of fear.
He was at the entrance of the kindergarten, reluctant to take that step, so he had to look at his mother for help...
"Wow!"
An earth-shattering cry erupted from the side!
Nanzhi and Nanyi turned their heads and looked over in unison, and saw a fat and white boy crying loudly.
Four adults gathered around him, probably all elders of his family, and they all came to the battle to persuade the little ancestor to stop crying.
As if he didn’t hear it, the little boy continued to wow:
“I don’t go to school! I don’t go to school! Waaaah!”
The movement attracted a lot of people's attention.
The little boy who rolled around didn't feel ashamed at all.
Anyway, the only ones who are embarrassed are his elders.
Nanyi:...
“Okay mom, I will go to school obediently!”
Nan Yi quickly restrained her grievances. She never wanted to be like that little fat man or the monkey in the zoo being watched by others!
What a shame!
Nanzhi also vaguely guessed the truth behind Nanyi’s change in attitude, and actually felt a little grateful towards the crying fat warrior...
“Well, put your schoolbag on your back. Wait until mom picks you up after school."
Nanzhi was afraid that Nanyi would regret it, so she quickly waved him off.
Nan Yi tugged on the strap of her schoolbag and happened to pass by the fat man who kept crying.
A faint scent spread out from his schoolbag, and it happened to be smelled by the little fat man.
The little fat man suddenly stopped crying, turned over and climbed up, running to catch up with Nan Yi:
“Wait for me!”
Nanyi was confused when he was stopped. .
Nanzhi, who had not yet left, also hurriedly followed.
As a result, the little fat man changed from crying to laughing in a second, and he still had the same kind of flattering, dog-legged, and flattering smile.
