Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 719

In the end, Xiaotao ate her stomach so roundly. This time, the beggar chicken was a great success. She tried her best back and forth.

Whether something tastes good depends on how it tastes, and on the other hand, how much the person who eats it can eat.

Some people say it's delicious, but they actually take a bite or two without even moving a chopstick. Can this be called delicious?

But they almost ate all the beggar chicken. Although Song San gave the chicken leg to his wife, they ate a lot of meat from other places, including Xu Erni, who ate up the whole chicken leg.

"Xiao Tao, take it back and eat it, you haven't touched a bite, take it back and eat it." None of them ate the pair of chicken wings while eating.

No one in Song San's family wanted to eat it because they had a good heart, but they wanted Xiaotao to take it back.

After hearing this, Xiaotao stared at the remaining pair of chicken wings: "Master, Brother Chen Nian, can I really take these two chicken wings back for my parents to eat?"

"Why not?" Song Laosan said.

"Thank you grandpa and aunt, thank you Brother Chen Nian!"

Xiaotao was very happy, now she can let her father and mother taste her handicraft.

After lunch, Xu Erni scrambled to clean up the dishes and wash the pot, and asked Chen Nian, who planned to come over to help, to send Xiaotao back first.

When they arrived at Xiaotao's house, Xiaotao took the pair of chicken wings and proudly showed off to her parents: "Father, mother, I made this today, and I brought it back for you to eat."

Dong Daniu frowned after hearing this: "Why did you bring this back, how can you take back other people's things casually?"

Although Xiaotao would usually bring some meat to the house during the old age, the meat in the past was left over after Song San sold out. This time he was worried that it was Xiaotao who wanted to bring these back. Chen Nian is also there, so he reprimanded him.

Seeing this, Chen Nian quickly explained: "No, my father asked Xiaotao to bring it back, and this time the chicken was made by Xiaotao himself, it is very delicious, you guys should try it."

Although Xiaotao was a little sad to be misunderstood by her father, she still wanted her parents to taste it.

Hearing Chen Nian speak, Dong Daniu and Zhang Guiying took the chicken wings from Xiaotao's hands.

"Taste." Xiaotao cupped her fists with her hands under her chin, her eyes were bright, and she looked at her parents expectantly.

Although the meat on the chicken wings is not much, it is very fine, and this part is also easy to taste. Dong Daniu tasted it first, and his brows instantly relaxed. Although it has been cold now, the taste on it is quite sufficient.

"Xiao Tao, did you really make this?" Zhang Guiying asked.

Xiao Tao nodded emphatically: "Well, although Brother Chen Nian taught me how to do it, Xiao Tao did it from the beginning to the end."

"Xiaotao is really amazing, such a good craftsmanship!" Zhang Guiying couldn't help admiring.

"Xiao Tao, how did you do it?"

After the matter was explained, Dong Daniu stopped talking about his daughter, but asked curiously.

"It was baked with fire! It's been baked for a long time!"

"Roasted?" Dong Daniu looked at the chicken wings in his hand in amazement, and couldn't help feeling suspicious, "How could this chicken be roasted? There is no trace of roasting on the outside."

Xiaotao said braggingly at this moment: "Because this chicken is wrapped in soil, and there are two layers of lotus leaves wrapped in the soil, so the fire can't roast the chicken!"

"Baked with lotus leaves and soil?" Dong Daniu looked at the chicken wings in his hand and couldn't help but tasted again, "No wonder I felt a smell on it, but I couldn't remember what it was at first, it turned out to be lotus leaves ah."

"Correct."

"Then tell daddy how the chicken is made."

Dong Daniu asked again.

At this time, Chen Nian also wanted to go back to rest for a while, so he said goodbye to the family first.

Leaving Xiaotao at home to explain the production process of Beggar Chicken to her parents in detail.

It's just that he didn't know that Xiaotao deliberately ignored the steps of playing with mud and fire when talking about it.

Even if Dong Daniu asked Xiaotao, she said it was made by Chen Nian.

……

The next day, after Chen Nian sold offal soup and soy milk with his parents, he waited for more than half an hour but did not see Xiaotao coming to him, so he couldn't help being curious.

In the past, Xiaotao should also come at this time.

"Are you sick?"

Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little worried. People have feelings after getting along with people for a long time, not to mention that Xiao Tao followed him like a follower all day long, yelling at each other.

So Chen Nian took some of his pocket money, went to the dim sum shop to buy some dim sum before going out, and then went to find Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao's father was selling tofu at the stall at the entrance at the moment. After seeing Chen Nian, he smiled and said hello, saying that Xiao Tao was in the house, and then he didn't care about Chen Nian anymore.

The two families come and go every day, so they are very close now. The children on both sides visit each other, just like going back to their own home.

As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Nian saw Zhang Guiying washing clothes in the yard, and there was a quilt hanging on the rope.

"Xiaotao is in the house, just so you can help us persuade her."

"This child has been crying since he got up in the morning, and we can't coax him well. Now that you are here, she should listen to you."

This made Chen Nian even more curious: "What's wrong with Xiaotao? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Zhang Guiying sighed, opened her mouth and hesitated to speak, and finally said, "Go in and ask her."

Chen Nian entered the room suspiciously, and as soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Tao sitting in the corner of the kang wiping tears.

"What's the matter, Xiaotao? Is something uncomfortable?" Chen Nian asked with concern, and raised his hand while talking, "Look, I bought you some snacks."

But Xiaotao had already seen Chen Nian, her expression was startled, and then she turned around and buried her head under the quilt.

howling!

"Xiaotao, don't cry, what's wrong? Tell me, if someone bullies you, I'll beat him up for you!" Chen Nian was even more at a loss now.

"Brother Chen Nian, leave me alone, go back!"

"How can I go back? I have to avenge you." Chen Nian shook his head.

"Brother Chen Nian, don't look at me!"

"What a shame!"

Hearing these words, Chen Nian couldn't help thinking, could this be Xiaotao's aunt?Thinking about it, it seems that it is indeed time for girls to come at this age.

Although Chen Nian himself has never been here, he may have discussed this issue with Hongdou before.

Just like some girls are curious about what it feels like for boys to pee while standing, boys naturally have similar questions about girls.

So he organized his words: "Xiao Tao, this is actually very normal. Everyone at this age will experience this kind of thing, so you don't need to be too sad."

Hearing this, Xiaotao's crying gradually subsided, and she slowly sat up and Lihua looked at Chen Nian with rain: "Brother Chen Nian, would you be like this when you were 11?"

Chen Nian thought about how it is possible for a man to come to his aunt, but at this moment, in order to comfort Xiao Tao, he could only nod ruthlessly: "Yes, I was like this when I was this age."

Xiao Tao's mood improved a lot after hearing Chen Nian's personal admission: "Brother Chen Nian, when did you find out? At midnight or in the morning?"

"Morning." Chen Nian said.

Xiao Tao sniffed her nose and flattened her mouth with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Xiao Tao only found out this morning, and Xiao Tao will never play with mud or fire again."

"Huh? Playing with fire?" Chen Nian didn't know what the auntie had to do with playing with fire. Could it be that Zhang Guiying told Xiaotao that if he played with fire, he would come to the auntie?

"Xiao Tao, do you have a stomachache now?"

Now it's Xiaotao's turn to be puzzled: "It doesn't hurt."

"It doesn't hurt?" Chen Nian was a little confused about the situation. Could it be that Xiao Tao is the kind of person with extraordinary talents, who doesn't feel too much pain in her aunt's stomach?
"Yeah, why does bedwetting cause stomach pain?"

"Bedwetting?"

Chen Nian's expression became weird. It turned out that he had misunderstood it. Xiao Tao didn't visit her aunt, but wet the bed.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chen Nian's mouth began to move upwards.

"Oops! You can't laugh. If you smile at this time, Xiaotao will definitely be hit in the heart!"

Chen Nian quickly turned around.

But in the end he still couldn't help laughing, but Chen Nian held on so hard that he didn't laugh out loud, but his shoulders trembled when he laughed.

Seeing Chen Nian like this, Xiao Tao pursed her mouth again on the spot, and tears burst out of her eyes instantly!

"Brother Chen Nian, you lied to me, you are a big villain, you never wet the bed when you were 11 years old! You lied, you lied! You are still laughing at me now!"

But now Chen Nian couldn't stop smiling at all, and could only say with difficulty: "I didn't lie to you, I was crying. Hearing what Xiaotao said, I remembered the sad things before."

How can Xiaotao believe it now?

"Then turn around and let me see if you are crying!"

Xiaotao said while wiping her tears.

Chen Nian had no choice but to try his best to show a sad expression, but when a person smiled, it was uglier than crying.

Seeing Chen Nian's expression, Xiao Tao started to cry again, her voice was higher than before.

"You lied to me!"

"Brother Chen Nian is the most annoying!"

"You know how to lie to Xiaotao, you obviously didn't wet the bed!"

Seeing this, Chen Nian had no choice but to coax Xiaotao.

In this way, it took a long time and tried all the best, apologizing, telling jokes, and giving Xiaotao some snacks, before finally coaxing the little girl well.

But in the process of coaxing Xiao Tao, Chen Nian thought of a question, Xiao Tao should not wet the bed at this age, could it be because she is really sick?
Thinking of this, Chen Nian took advantage of the excuse to go to the bathroom and went to the yard to tell Zhang Guiying his guess.

Zhang Guiying didn't care about this at all: "What's wrong with Xiaotao, it's that she played with fire and mud yesterday, that's why she peed on the kang today."

It's just that Chen Nian was still a little worried, but then he excused that he was not feeling well recently and wanted to see the doctor, and then brought Xiao Tao to the medical clinic.

This medical clinic is relatively famous in Yong'an County, and the doctors there are also the kind of good doctors that people say.

The doctor first asked about the old symptoms, and then looked at the tongue coating: "Are you sure your stomach is uncomfortable? I think you are in good health?"

At this time, Chen Nian turned his head and glanced at Xiao Tao who was sitting on a stool not far away, and then he leaned over to whisper a few words in the doctor's ear.

The doctor suddenly understood that it was not Chen Nian who wanted to see a doctor, but an excuse to bring Xiao Tao to see him.

After thinking about the words in his mind for a while, the doctor nodded slightly at Chen Nian.

At this moment, Chen Nian turned around and called Xiao Tao over.

"Xiaotao, the medical center is holding an event today. Buy one get one free for pulses. I've finished reading it. You should also take a look at the chance to give it away, otherwise it will be wasted."

Chen Nian feels that he is getting more and more comfortable coaxing children now.

Xiao Tao looked at Chen Nian with a sincere face, and believed it on the spot.

He obediently stretched out his hand to feel the doctor's pulse.

"Xiao Tao, we have earned money today. We are the doctor's [-]th customer, so we have this opportunity."

Xiaotao also nodded excitedly, as if she really made a profit.

After taking Xiao Tao's pulse, the doctor asked some questions, and Xiao Tao answered them truthfully.

"The child is fine," said the doctor.

But Chen Nian still didn't know why he felt weird.

The doctor thought for a while, took a piece of paper to pick up a pen, and wrote four words on it.

【Thinking every day】

"So that's how it is." Chen Nian understood, probably because Xiao Tao had been thinking about this matter yesterday, so she wet the bed under the influence of psychology.

The so-called thinking day by day, dreaming at night, Chen Nian had this experience before, probably in elementary school, when martial arts dramas were popular at that time, Chen Nian was a full-fledged martial arts fan, after watching it at night I often dream of becoming a hero.

Chen Nian dreamed that someone was chasing him, he kept running ahead, and suddenly a dilapidated house appeared, so he hid in it, jumped and hid on the beam, after a while It was finally confirmed that the pursuers were lost.

At this moment, a urge to urinate rose, Chen Nian turned around and jumped down, facing the wall, unbuttoning his trousers and opening the gate to release the water.

As a result, the old age in the dream was released freely.

In reality, Chen Nian didn't hesitate, he just pissed.

After understanding the reason, Chen Nian finally felt relieved.

"Thank you doctor, how much is the total?"

The doctor smiled and waved his hands: "No need, I didn't get you any medicine."

"Then thank you doctor!"

Chen Nian thanked you again, but since I found someone to watch it, it’s not a problem not to pay a penny, after all, everyone is in the same county, and I don’t see you looking up, Chen Nian thought about it and bought some here. Medicinal materials used as seasoning.

After that, he took Xiaotao back home.

Now that he is almost familiar with the aging of these spices and medicinal materials, he plans to find a chance to practice.

Now Song San's stewed meat shop sells only pork, including pork belly, pork ribs, pig head meat, pig trotters, pig tails, and some offal.

But Chen Nian plans to create more categories.
