Chapter 14 Wheat Cake
Chapter 14 Wheat Cake
Three officers dressed in uniforms of the Zhenfu Division and holding swords walked majestically on Baishi Lane, attracting awe-inspiring glances from people on the roadside from time to time.
Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials!
For ordinary people, even if they are temporary servants who are not on the list, they are still worthy of awe!
"The temporary servants who came before were not introduced in such a grand manner! It's called an introduction, but in fact it's just announcing their identities and backgrounds in public!"
"Also, the guards accompanying the chief are basically official guards. I have been working in the Pacification Division for more than two years, but I have never enjoyed such treatment. Zheng Shiyong is a newcomer who just came in today, and now he enjoys such treatment. It is obvious that this is paving the way for his future development!"
"To be honest, if it weren't for Chief Zheng, this newcomer Zheng Shiyong wouldn't have gotten into this situation today!"
"This guy is so infuriating! So infuriating!"
"."
The monkey head kept shaking his head and talking all the way, with a look of indignation on his face.
Among the few people, he has the most experience in the Nanquanlixiang Zhenfu Division! If he had a background like Zheng Shiyong, he might have been a registered official by now.
"Okay, monkey head, stop talking. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, you'll definitely be in trouble!"
Chen Pingan advised.
"Humph! Just listen to it. What I said is not wrong. What does it matter if it spreads out?"
Monkey Head spoke with a firm tone. But I don't know whether it was Chen Ping'an's persuasion that worked, or some other reason, but he changed the subject and stopped complaining about Zheng Shiyong's affairs.
In response, Chen Pingan shook his head slightly.
This monkey head is really...
To be honest, Chen Pingan was naturally envious of Zheng Shiyong for receiving such a grand introduction as soon as he arrived.
But he knew that envy was useless!
In this world, your status is ultimately something you have to earn yourself!
Whether it's a fight of fists or a fight of background!
Old Chen is dead, the only one he can rely on is himself!
He is the only one Chen Erya can rely on!
During the street patrol, Chen Pingan's thoughts turned around. Every change of his thoughts made his heart more determined! The firmness of his belief made him exude a completely different spirit!
Patrolling the streets today, everything was still peaceful and uneventful!
After having a full meal at the Nanquan Lane Zhenfusi at noon, they found a place to rest for a while as usual. Since Baishi Lane was mostly residential and there were no important places, they had more time to rest and do nothing this time than usual.
Among the many streets and alleys in Nanquanlixiang, Baishixiang is undoubtedly one of the more relaxing ones.
"Nannan, brother is back!"
As soon as Chen Ping'an entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food.
"Brother is back!"
Chen Erya was busy in the kitchen and did not come out to greet him.
Chen Ping'an walked into the kitchen and found the milky white beef bone soup in the pot, bubbling with steam and smelling tempting!
He had just returned from a business trip and was starving. When he smelled such a fragrant and rich beef bone soup, how could he resist it?
Chen Ping'an was just about to ask for a try first bowl when Chen Erya, who was cooking at the side, spoke up.
"Brother, you must be hungry. I made some wheat cakes this afternoon. You can eat some to fill your stomach. They are in the cupboard."
During the break in cooking, Chen Erya took the time to point to the cupboard next to her.
"Nannan is so good!"
Chen Pingan was all smiles.
Where can you find such a considerate sister?
If it were in the previous life, a girl of Nannan's age would probably be the treasure of each family, loved and pampered. How could anyone be so caring as this!
The world is like this.
As he thought about it, Chen Pingan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Brother, why are you standing there? It's on the third shelf of the cupboard!"
Seeing Chen Pingan standing there in a daze, Chen Erya urged.
Chen Pingan responded and took out a plate of wheat cakes from the cupboard.
This wheat cake is a common dish in every household. It is actually a mixture of egg liquid and wheat flour, stirred evenly, and a little salt is added in the process. Then put a proper amount of sesame oil in the pot, and after the sesame oil emits a little green smoke, the mixture of egg and wheat flour can be added into the pot and stir-fried. Finally, add a handful of chopped green onions to enhance the flavor, and the wheat cake is ready.
"It's delicious!"
Chen Pingan exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the golden and crispy wheat cake in front of him.
"It's really worthy of Nannan's craftsmanship!"
The wheat cakes were still a little warm, and it was obvious that Chen Erya had estimated the time when he would be off duty and made them in advance. She was really thoughtful.
Chen Ping'an ate the wheat cake and felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart.
Since he started practicing Iron Shirt, his appetite has increased.
During the day, he had eaten well in the Pacification Office, but now he was very hungry.
Obviously, he had just started practicing martial arts and entered the first level of Qi and blood. His Qi and blood were surging more vigorously than before and consumed more energy.
This is just the beginning of the first level of Qi and blood. If it is a perfect level, I’m afraid I will be starving when I’m halfway there!
Chen Pingan thought secretly in his heart.
Also!
Although he eats a lot of rice now, most of it is ordinary vegetarian dishes without much oil. If he wants to really let his body absorb sufficient nutrients and blood, he probably still needs those big pieces of meat!
No wonder the meals for the chief officers were different from those for the servants!
Now, Chen Pingan can understand some of the rules set by the Pacification Office.
He was at the first level of Qi and Blood, but those messengers in the Pacification Department were at the third level of Qi and Blood. If he ate the same small meat and vegetable dishes as the messengers, how could he keep himself from being hungry? ?
It's sizzling!
Oil and water splashed, and a plate of raw beef was poured into the pot by Chen Erya.
After the beef was put into the pot, Chen Erya stir-fried it skillfully.
Add green pepper, salt and other ingredients
A plate of fragrant stir-fried beef with green peppers with a slightly spicy taste is ready to be served.
"Brother, it's time to eat~"
Chen Erya greeted.
"Okay."
Chen Pingan responded, and then the brother and sister brought the dishes out one by one.
Today's dinner: a plate of stir-fried beef with green peppers, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a large bowl of beef bone soup, half a plate of wheat cakes and two bowls of fragrant white rice.
"Nannan, there's not enough water in the water tank. I'll go get some."
After dinner, Chen Pingan patted his stomach with satisfaction.
"I will go and get some water tomorrow. Brother, just keep practicing your martial arts!"
Chen Erya dissuaded.
For her, these were things she could do to help her brother, and they were within her ability. If she could avoid troubling her brother, she would.
There was enough water in the jar to last for two days, so she didn't go to fetch more water today.
"It's okay, just digesting dinner!"
Chen Pingan said with a smile.
He would go to fetch water, and at most he would go back and forth ten times. If Chen Erya went, the number of trips would probably be more than double. And with her small arms and legs, she would probably be exhausted after fetching water.
After saying that, Chen Pingan took the shoulder pole and carried two wooden buckets and walked out.
