Dad Academy

Chapter 276 Suddenly no longer hungry (12)

"Xiaobai, you don't have to stay here with me, you can go out and play." Zhang Tan said to Xiaobai, who was sitting on the sofa playing with dolls.

Since Liu Jinlu left, she has been sitting on the sofa without moving. The weather outside is so good and the sun is shining. With her active temperament, there is no way she can sit still. As for being afraid of strangers, let alone worry, this is not her first time on the set. Many people here know her, and even Xiao Fan is her "student".

Xiaobai looked up at him, shook her head, and asked Zhang Tan to give her the tablet because she wanted to watch cartoons.

Zhang Tan gave her the tablet and asked, "You really don't want to play? I have to be busy with something now and don't have time to take you with me. How about I call Meng Ke to come find you?"

Xiaobai was determined not to go out. After Zhang Tan left, she whispered that she didn't want to be called a bastard.

The salt-boiled peanuts had brought disaster to so many people. How could she dare to go out? Someone would come looking for her even if she was hiding here. Although she didn't cook these peanuts, she sent them out. If I had known better, I wouldn't have listened to Boss Zhang.

Zhang Tan didn't know that Xiaobai was afraid of death, and thought that the child was afraid of life. He hurriedly finished the things at hand and took Xiaobai out for a walk, but many people told him about peanuts.

"Boss Zhang, let's run away." Xiaobai pulled up his pants and said nervously.

Zhang Tan smiled bitterly and took Xiaobai away.

"Xiaobai, what do you want to eat tonight?" Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai on the way home.

Xiaobai said: "Anything is fine."

Children at such a young age can say whatever they want.

Zhang Tan took her to the mall to buy groceries. Xiaobai looked around. She had been to this place before, but rarely. Everything around her was full of freshness.

"Do you want to eat fish and show off?" Zhang Tan asked.

Xiaobai stood in front of the fish tank and looked at the various freshwater and saltwater fish inside in amazement.

"It's climbing into the sea~~" She spotted the big crab next to her and pointed it out to Zhang Tan in surprise.

Zhang Tan: "You want to eat crabs?"

"Climbing into the sea is so good, we won't eat it." Xiaobai said.

So Zhang Tan bought the cod fish, the kind that has been cut into slices, because Xiaobai was reluctant to eat the whole live fish and she did not kill them.

Silver cod has almost no bones and is suitable for children.

The two of them walked around and bought more and more food. It was enough for two meals, let alone one meal.

Back home, Zhang Tan went to cook a sumptuous dinner for Xiaobai.

He estimated that Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping would come back tomorrow, and they should return to Sichuan soon. They would treat it as a farewell party for Xiao Bai.

He made pork ribs rice cake. This is a specialty snack in Pujiang, very economical and affordable, but also unique in flavor.

In Zhang Tan's previous life, his ex-girlfriend loved to eat. She always bought one portion and asked for two pairs of chopsticks for two people to eat. Because rice cakes are easy to fill up, her little belly can’t finish them all, so she needs her boyfriend to be the scavenger.

As the name suggests, the pork ribs rice cake is a combination of large ribs and small, thin rice cakes. It has the rich aroma of the ribs and the soft, glutinous and crispy rice cakes. It is very delicious.

The ribs are golden in color, crispy on the surface, and tender in texture. It is glutinous and fragrant in the mouth, slightly sweet and spicy, fresh and delicious.

The rice cake is suitable for Xiaobai’s baby teeth, and the pork ribs are Xiaobai’s favorite. I believe this dish will be deeply loved by Xiaobai.

This night, Zhang Tan showed his true skills and cooked his own special dishes.

In addition to pork ribs and rice cakes, there is also Crystal River shrimp.

The main ingredients of this dish are river shrimp and eggs. No ingredients can be added to the stir-fried shrimps. What is important is their bright and translucent color, soft yet crispy texture. After coming out of the pan, the shrimps are crystal clear, crispy, tender and smooth, and taste very delicious. It is also a dish that is very suitable for children. It will not burden the baby teeth and is also very nutritious.

In addition, there was also purchased silver cod, and Zhang Tan cooked a pan-fried silver cod dish.

Pan-fried cod is very expensive in restaurants and only has a small piece. Making it at home is much cheaper and very simple.

First, let Xiaobai wash the cod fish, then let the children dry it with kitchen towels, and then give it to Zhang Tan. He rubs salt on the front and back of the fish pieces and leaves it for about ten minutes.

At this time, you can start to heat oil in a pan, preferably butter, not peanut oil. Put the salted cod pieces in and fry one side first for about three minutes, then flip to the other side and follow the same method until both sides are fried. Fry slightly until brown, and it's ready to serve.

But, the dish isn't over yet. Now that the cod is fried, you can prepare the seasoning according to your personal taste. Considering that Xiaobai Tongxiae likes spicy food, Zhang Tan sprinkled some black pepper and other seasonings, and thoughtfully prepared a slice of lemon.

The lemon is not for chewing, but squeeze lemon juice on the fish pieces and eat them together. It will taste great. I don’t know if Xiaobai will be jealous after eating it, but Zhang Tan likes to eat it anyway. When he eats pan-fried cod, he always squeezes some lemon juice, which is sour and delicious when paired with the tenderness of the cod.

There were only two pieces of pan-fried cod on the plate, which looked dull and unattractive, so Zhang Tan paired it with some barley, corn, and some bright red tomatoes cut into two halves.

"Okay, the last dish is done, wash your hands, let's get ready to eat." Zhang Tan cooked a total of 5 dishes and 1 soup. Feeling quite satisfied with himself, he asked Xiaobai to wash his hands and get ready to eat.

"Boss Zhang, you know how to do everything with your claws?" Xiaobai praised generously.

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Of course, the dishes prepared today are all your favorite dishes."

The two of them washed their hands and sat at the dining table, when Zhang Tan's cell phone rang on the dining table.

Zhang Tan looked at it and said to Xiaobai who looked over, "It's your aunt's phone number."

Xiaobai was so happy that her aunt called her!

Zhang Tan answered the phone and said in his ear: "Hello, Sister Ma, is everything going well with you?"

…

Not even for a minute, the phone hung up. Xiaobai looked at the cell phone with a black screen, and asked Zhang Tan sadly: "Isn't my aunt looking for Xiaobai to instigate words?"

She looked like she was about to cry, and her aunt called but didn't talk to her or care about her.

Zhang Tan stood up and said, "Don't be sad, your aunt is downstairs."

"What?!!"

Xiaobai immediately jumped off the chair, ran to the balcony, looked down, and sure enough saw her aunt standing downstairs waving to her.

"Auntie~~~~are you back so soon?"

Malanhua said: "Your uncle and I won't be back until late afternoon. Gua Wazi, please come home with me."

"Come and chat."

Xiaobai Fengfenghuohuo ran back from the balcony, rushed to the door and put on his small shoes. She opened the door and waved to Zhang Tan, who was standing in the living room: "Hoo ho ho, bye, Boss Zhang, my aunt will come back to chat."

"Bye~~~ Slow down the stairs, don't fall."

"Knowing that Nao~~"

These words came from the stairwell, and Xiaobai couldn't wait any longer.

Zhang Tan came to the balcony and saw Xiaobai rushing out of the building and rushing towards Malanhua. The two chatted, Xiaobai jumped up and down, was led away from the little red horse, and disappeared into the night outside the school.

As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply, and a gust of night wind blew. Zhang Tan shivered, left the balcony, closed the doors and windows, and the room was as bright as day and as warm as spring.

When he came to the restaurant, the dishes on the table were steaming hot.

There were two pairs of bowls and chopsticks placed on the edge of the dining table. He put away the small pair and sat in front of the dining table, looking at the dishes on the table. He suddenly wasn't hungry anymore.
