Chapter 898 The first meal in the new home (two chapters in one)

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky in Shanghai is still blue and bright!However, the sun has set to the west, without the direct sunlight of midsummer, the scorching air has a rare respite.As the evening breeze blew, the wilting flowers cheered up and worked hard to decorate the small courtyard that was finally lively today for the little master.

"Mom, shall we eat out today?"

Yang Qian, who was sweating profusely, came out of the house and said to his mother who was strolling in the yard with Yang Xiaozhao in his arms, admiring the flowers.

After Yang Qian and Dai Yuni worked all afternoon, they sorted out the several large boxes they had brought over. The packed cartons were also refolded and handed over to the security guard at the gatehouse.

When Dai Yuni went to take a bath, Yang Qian was still holding a mop to clean up the house.

This is a habit of his life. Although it is difficult to keep the furniture and items in the house clean and orderly after having a child, he can still tidy up when Yang Xiaozhao is not running around and rummaging through boxes and cabinets. , just clean it up!
At least it looks pleasing to the eye and the mood will be very comfortable.

"Why go out to eat? You go out to eat on the first day of moving?"

Hong Xiaoxia frowned incomprehensibly.

People of the older generation have a different concept from Yang Qian’s generation who have no worries about food and clothing even if they are not very rich after birth. They have experienced difficult times, and they are all branded in their bones to cherish food, be diligent and thrifty The habit of thrift.

There is a book that describes it like this:

"When a child born in the [-]s drops the food on the ground, he will stare blankly for a while, and then step on it hard, trampling it dirty and crushing it. This kind of psychology is like a possessive instinct, It's a pity that I lost it, and I took possession of it by crushing it.

But those a generation older than them will not have this situation.Their food is even more scarce. When encountering this situation, they will directly pick up the dropped food, no matter whether the ground is dirty or not.

Those who are a generation younger than them will not have this situation. What does it matter if the food is dropped?Ordinary children nowadays only have the problem of too much food, and the most common scene is that the elders are holding the bowl, pinching the spoon, chasing and feeding.” (Note 1)

Yang Qian belongs to the [-] generation who are chased and fed by the elders. Although he is not a wasteful person, it is absolutely impossible for him to pick up the bread or pastries that fall on the ground and eat them. !

Hong Xiaoxia belongs to the generation where the food is dusty on the ground, and she has to pick it up, wash it and eat it. Although she doesn't need to eat unclean food on the ground anymore, she is reluctant to part with the leftovers from every meal. throw.

Dai Yuni talked badly, so she changed her practice of not eating overnight vegetables. Hong Xiaoxia was still reluctant to throw away the leftover pork ribs, chicken and other meat dishes, so she secretly put them in a small plate and warmed them up for herself the next day. eat
Would you like to eat overnight food?
not good!

Doesn't Hong Xiaoxia understand too?
She understands!

But the waste of reluctance is really like the values ​​​​engraved in the bones, no matter how the years change, it still cannot be changed!

Even though the money her son earns every year has far surpassed Hong Xiaoxia's imagination, and she can't spend it all in the rest of her life, Hong Xiaoxia doesn't waste money, save as much as she can.

Frugality is a very good character that our Chinese nation has inherited 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 the holidays and pocket money for grocery shopping, she didn't spend any of it for herself.

Hong Xiaoxia has her own pension, and her daughter-in-law buys clothes for her. The money she usually saves, she secretly opened a card that no one knew about.

No, it cannot be said that no one knows.

"The old man said that it is necessary to prevent rain before it is dark (Hecheng dialect). Your brother is earning a lot of money now, but he also spends a lot of money. Dozens of people in the company need him to support him. No one knows what will happen in the future. Can the songs he sing continue to be liked by people, and can the business continue to be done? Mom saved the money for him, just in case there would be such a day. "

Hong Xiaoxia told her younger daughter.

After her daughter grows up, she still needs to be more caring, even Yang Shihan is careless, which makes her worry.

Why not prepare for Yang Shihan?

Because Hong Xiaoxia understands that as long as Yang Qian is fine, she won't lose her sister's food, and the little money she saved is nothing compared to the movie funds that Dai Yuni promised to invest in Yang Shihan.

But if Yang Qian falls down one day, the only one who can save his brother is Yang Shihan, his younger sister.

Pulled away.
"It's not going to a restaurant, we're eating at home, but what I mean is, let's not go back to the house, just eat in this yard."

Yang Qian smiled and explained to his mother.

"Eat outside here? That's fine. It should be fine to sit here and eat, but I'm afraid of burning my butt."

Hong Xiaoxia hugged Yang Xiaozhao, turned around and glanced at the stone tables and chairs on the lawn.

In fact, if you open the sun-shading folding umbrella in advance and the stone table and bench are covered, it should not be too hot.But today they just moved here, and they don't have this plan, just sitting on the stone bench that has been scorched by the sun for a day, I guess it will be very uncomfortable for the buttocks!

"You don't need to sit on it. I have a picnic cloth in the car for going back to the park and spread it on the lawn. Then we all sit on the lawn to eat, and Xiao Zhaozhao can also lie on it to play. Today we will simply eat a little and make a A little western style dinner."

Yang Qian's head turned quickly, and when he described it to his mother, he had already figured out what to make for dinner.

"You don't take a bath? What are you going to do delicious tonight?"

After Dai Yuni took a shower in the bathroom of their bedroom, she saw the back of Yang Qian busy in the kitchen.

"I didn't buy any food tonight, so I just ate a little of what was in the refrigerator. I plan to create a picnic-like atmosphere in our yard. First, you will get the picnic mat from the car and spread it on the lawn. By the way, we are not the first Check in for one day? It’s just a good time to celebrate by yourself, look at the lights, dolls, toys, you can arrange them.”

Yang Qian kept working on his hands, but he said that he had arranged tasks for Dai Yuni.

"No problem, I'll get it right away. How can you eat it simply? You cut so many side dishes."

Before leaving, Dai Yuni commented on Yang Qian enthusiastically.

Indeed, there are several plates of side dishes in front of Yang Qian, such as chopped onions, bacon, ham, sliced ​​tomatoes, diced peppers, and even a few thawed prawns, Yang Qian is feeding them Shelling.

It seems that the posture is unusual!
But in fact, Yang Qian is now also facing a problem of "a clever woman can't cook without rice"!

They have been busy all day, and they don't have time to go to the supermarket, and they don't even have time to buy groceries for grandma Hong Xiaoxia, so they don't have many groceries in the refrigerator now!
Fortunately, they moved here from Runyuan·Bund Mingyuan, so they don’t need to bring other items, but the condiments in the kitchen, the leftover vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator, frozen fish and frozen meat, in order not to stay there and spoil, they still have to move them. come over.

Although there were not many, and there was no corn (grain) or green peas that Yang Qian wanted very much, Yang Qian still took out common vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and peppers that were relatively easy to preserve.

The most important thing is that they still have the bread they bought for breakfast yesterday (because all the ingredients were packaged), and a bag of white toast was kept intact because it was too dry and tasteless.

It's easy to have this bag of white toast!

Yang Qian first smeared tomato sauce on each piece of toast, smoothed it out, and then placed chopped bacon, shrimp, onion, 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 that Dai Yuni and himself ate.

Without corn kernels and green peas, Yang Qian couldn't make a colorful feeling, and the legendary rainbow pizza couldn't be formed.

But it doesn’t matter, Yang Qian still tries to separate the red of the tomato, the purple of the onion, the white of the shrimp meat (it will turn red later), and the lavender of the bacon, in order to create a layered color in the later stage.

As for the chili rings he and Dai Yuni ate, Yang Qian also decorated them very carefully, with a full sense of symmetry!
A little less serious is that the cheese is broken!
Because Dai Yuni likes to eat brushed cheese baked products, mozzarella cheese is a must in Yang Qian's refrigerator.

Yang Qian broke up the frozen mozzarella cheese and sprinkled it on their toast pizza casually. Of course, the amount should not be too much, nor too little!
If there is too much cheese, then every bite will be full of cheese. The taste lacks layers, and the appearance lacks aesthetics, covering up the color layers that Yang Qian said he wanted to show.

And if there is too little cheese, it will not be able to eat the feeling of pizza, and the many ingredients spread on it will not be able to stick to it, and it will be spilled as soon as it is picked up.

After they were ready, Yang Qian sent them into the large oven that was preheated in advance.

The kitchen of Yang Qian's new home is definitely a holy place that all housewives and husbands dream of!

The open and bright kitchen is comparable to the living room of ordinary people. Even if four or five people work together, it will not feel crowded!

A wide range of kitchen utensils and baking utensils are available, and the refrigerator is a super-large version, and the oven is also a large oven that can directly place six slices of toast without layering—Yang Qian considers that he is doing it by himself most of the time Food, so I didn't learn that some people separate Chinese and Western kitchens.

There is also a bright and clean cooking atmosphere. When Yang Qian was washing and chopping vegetables, he could look out from the large window in the kitchen. He looked at the matted mother and wife who couldn't wait to put Yang Xiaozhao on it and play together. He couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

Of course, there is a small door in the kitchen leading directly to the courtyard, but this is not for the convenience of Yang Qian to prepare dinner and send it out.

With this small door, Hong Xiaoxia can go directly into the kitchen to deal with it when she comes back from shopping for vegetables, without worrying about bypassing the living room and getting stinky sewage dripping on the floor.

The kitchen of Yang Qian and the others in Runyuan Bund Garden is actually not too small, but compared with the current one, Yang Qian still likes this kitchen better.

Just like many virtuous men who love their families, Yang Qian feels that with this kitchen, he can cook more delicious food for his family!
"Cluck! Cluck!"

"Ding!"

When Yang Qian was fascinated by looking at Dai Yuni, who was having fun taking pictures of his daughter on the lawn, a crisp reminder from the oven attracted his attention.

“Grilled to perfection!”

The new oven that Yang Qian was worried about did not have a good sense of proportion. At 180 degrees for [-] minutes, it perfectly melted all the cheese, cooked all the ingredients, and baked the toast until it was crispy but 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 brightly colored and delicate ingredients, against the background of the white ceramic plate, immediately showed its superb appearance that makes the index finger move!
Garnish with blanched or even cooked broccoli on the plate, and this alternative and delicious western dinner is ready!
"Serve!"

Yang Qian came out with a plate, yelling,

"Daddy is here, Daddy is here!"

Dai Yuni patted Yang Xiaozhao who was lying on the mat, and shouted with a smile.

Yang Xiaozhao was doing well on her stomach, but when her butt was attacked suddenly, she twisted like a conditioned reflex, and knocked her head on the mat with a "giggle" smile.

She thought her mother was teasing her just like before!

"Dad is here, why are you kowtowing to him?"

Dai Yuni thought it was funny, but it was a pity that the mobile phone that had taken too many photos had been put aside, so she couldn't capture the scene of her daughter!
If you get a picture, send it to Comrade Lao Dai for a look!

Who told him not to show up on such a big moving day as his precious daughter?
Hmph, now the baby is not a daughter, but a granddaughter, right?
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
Yang Qian just put their dinner today on the tablecloth, and before he could go back to get the cooked tomato and egg drop soup, Dai Zhenhong's video call request appeared on Dai Yuni's mobile phone.

"Come on, look at grandpa, how is grandpa!"

Hong Xiaoxia hugged Yang Xiaozhao, supported her little buttocks with her palms, and asked her to stand upright and look at her grandfather.

Yang Xiaozhao doesn't know how to sit yet, she is either lying on her stomach, lying down, or being hugged by an adult.

But Yang Xiaozhao's eyes are flexible, they are round and wide open, looking at the grandfather on the screen with a naive expression.

When Dai Zhenhong saw Yang Xiaozhao, the wrinkles on his face bloomed, and he couldn't help but put on a kind smile.

"Zhao Zhao, you've moved to a new home, are you used to it? Why are you still outside? Are there many mosquitoes?"

Dai Zhenhong became concerned with a smile on his face.

"We ate outside and sat on the grass, it was very comfortable here! No mosquitos, and it's not completely dark yet!"

Dai Yuni replied.

"It's going to be dark when it's not dark. Let Zhaozhao stay at home at night and don't play outside. There are so many mosquitoes, and she has delicate skin and tender flesh."

Dai Zhenhong even started to chatter.

"I know, I know!"

Dai Yuni dealt with it in disgust, and turned the camera on her daughter again.

This trick works!

Dai Zhenhong raised his eyebrows and immediately lay down again, he smiled and shook hands with Yang Xiaozhao.

"Zhao Zhao, grandpa will come back tomorrow, if you are bitten by a mosquito, report to grandpa!"
