Chapter 487: Play with whoever you like!
Buddha jumps over the wall! Steamed sea bass! Shrimp with jade belt! Shark fin with chrysanthemum! Ah Yi abalone! Peninsula Royal Bird's Nest! Braised sea fin with raw crab meat! Stewed turtle with ham! Sweet red taro with honey sauce! Boiled sea clams in chicken soup!
These ten dishes are the ones that my family likes to eat and have higher nutritional value.
Focus on what your family likes to eat. If they don’t like it, it won’t be useful no matter how nutritious it is.
There is no big fish or meat, mostly seafood. My family has long been focused on eating fine food, and all kinds of meat are not welcome at home.
Cao Dongfang does not plan to eat these meats during the Chinese New Year, but will focus on seafood.
At least Cao Jiajia can eat other things, such as honey-glazed red taro, which is the only vegetarian dish and can be eaten by her and her two children.
Cao Jiajia can also eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, bird's nest, shark fin, shrimp, etc. It seems that she eats all the meals in the evening. After all, she is still a girl.
The soup is duck blood vermicelli soup, which is the soup that children want to eat and drink.
Adults can drink it too. I’ve made it at home before and the response was pretty good. My two children need this kind of soup and can drink more.
Children are important.
.......
The main thing is that there are more dishes with soup tonight, so it doesn’t matter whether you drink the duck blood and vermicelli soup or not, you can drink other soups.
The Cao family consumes all kinds of blood almost every day, all because of their two children.
Everyone understands.
The staple foods include steamed buns and dumplings.
In the Cao family, both adults and children like to eat small flower rolls, and they feel they are more delicious than steamed buns. Because everyone likes to eat them, Cao Dongfang now makes flower rolls and a small amount of steamed buns.
There are fewer steamed buns, only 20% compared to flower rolls. Since everyone in the Cao family likes to eat them, Cao Dongfang will make more.
Anyway, you buy them in the system, steamed buns and flower rolls are the same.
Cao Dongfang doesn’t have to do it himself.
There are still four kinds of fillings for dumplings, one with pork, two with shrimp meat, and one with shrimp meat.
Adults also like to eat it. You can see what kind of dumplings the children like.
Now Tingting and Yangyang can eat dumplings, buns and other stuffed foods.
Cao Dongfang has fed him dumplings several times, including soup dumplings and xiaolongbao.
Both children like to eat it, so that’s good. Now let’s try the dumplings.
It should be fine. Cao Dongfang has never heard of many people who only eat buns and not dumplings.
Cao Dongfang himself is not picky about food, and his children’s eating habits are very similar to his. There is nothing they won’t eat, only things they like and don’t like.
Even if you don’t like it, you can still eat a few bites. That’s okay.
Cao Dongfang only hopes that his children can eat a few bites of everything, and it doesn't matter what they eat.
That's unrealistic.
......
Cao Dongfang was preparing dumplings in the kitchen, and Cao Jiajia brought her two children into the kitchen.
"Brother, are these the dishes we're going to eat in the evening? There are ten dishes and one soup again, but no fried chicken," Cao Jiajia pouted.
“Why are you pouting? Don’t learn from Tingting and Yangyang. They are still young and have food for you.
Why did you bring them out? Aren't you going to play anymore?" Cao Dongfang asked.
"Dad, look at you, what are you doing?"
"Dad, look at you!"
"Dad, prepare dinner for tonight, we are going to celebrate the Spring Festival!"
"Spring...Festival, what?" asked the daughter.
Cao Dongfang understood what Tingting meant and what the Spring Festival was.
Cao Dongfang, "The Spring Festival is the Chinese Lunar New Year, commonly known as the New Year, New Year, Sui Dan, etc., and verbally called the New Year or the Big New Year. The Spring Festival has a long history and evolved from the ancient times when people prayed for a good year and offered sacrifices at the beginning of the year.
In ancient times, "Sui" was a tool for harvesting and offering sacrifices, and the word "Nian" meant that crops were ripe (the earliest writing of the word "Nian" was an image of a person carrying ripe grains on his back). People celebrated the harvest, offered sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, and exorcised ghosts and gods in various ways, gradually forming the custom of celebrating the New Year.
You two are still young, so it’s enough for you to know that the Spring Festival is the first day of the new year.
We need to celebrate! No need to understand anything else! ″
“I don’t know, Dad!”
"It's okay, Tingting, Yangyang will understand when he grows up. Go and play with aunt now, okay!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"good!"
"Brother, milk powder, I will feed them less, and juice."
"I'll make the milk powder. 80 milliliters is enough for a child. If he can drink 60 milliliters, that's enough. Don't force it. You two can drink juice or eat fruit puree."
“Juice, sweet.”
I see, it contains sugar, but less sugar. It has a sweet taste and they like it.
Cao Dongfang first prepared the milk powder and asked Cao Jiajia to take them back to the room to drink it, and then bought a few glasses of juice from the system.
Two children drank a small amount of apple juice, Song Xianxian drank strawberry juice with sugar, Cao's mother drank apple juice without sugar, and Cao Jiajia drank banana juice with sugar.
Cao Dongfang also prepared a glass of apple juice without sugar for himself.
Cao Dongfang poured the children's two glasses of apple juice into the bottle and took it to his room.
The two children are drinking milk and have almost finished the 80 ml.
"Jia Jia, this is their apple juice. After you finish the milk powder, wait ten minutes before drinking the apple juice.
Xianxian, you and Jiajia's juice is in the kitchen, come out and drink it if you want."
"After they finish their milk, I'll go to the kitchen to drink. Are you ready to make dumplings? I'll help you!"
"No need, it will be ready in four o'clock. You can look after the child."
"All right!"
.......
Cao Dongfang played with the two children for ten minutes after they finished drinking the milk powder, and then made dumplings after they finished drinking the apple juice.
Song Xianxian and Cao Jiajia finished their juice and played with the two children. After their mother woke up, she also started to spend time with the two children.
Now the two children don’t play with Cao Jiajia, but with Cao’s mother. Even Song Xianxian doesn’t want to play with her.
Cao Jiajia was helpless.
There was nothing she could do.
Cao Dongfang smiled when he saw them. These two smart kids would play with whoever they liked.
Cao Dongfang started making dumplings, and he made them very quickly.
By five o'clock, everything was packed and the two children were ready for bed.
We have been playing for quite a while in the afternoon, it’s time to take a break.
Children are not adults and have limited energy.
Cao Dongfang came into the room and coaxed the two children to sleep. The two children saw Cao Dongfang again and fell asleep peacefully.
Cao Dongfang and his mother left Cao Dongfang's house and rested in the living room.
Cao Dongfang took the unfinished juice from the three of them, placed it in front of them, and drank it slowly.
Cao Dongfang made himself a cup of tea and began to rest.
"Dongfang, it's all done!"
"It's all ready. Steam them until 6:10. In 15 minutes, even the dumplings will be ready. We can eat at 3:00!"
"Dongfang, you work fast. It took me more than an hour to make dumplings with my mom at home. You are also slow at making other dishes!"
“Do it a few more times and you’ll get used to it! You’ll also be able to make dumplings!”
"I... I don't know how, I can't learn, I can't make dumplings, but I can roll out the dough!" Song Xianxian was a little embarrassed.
"Not bad, about the same level as Cao Jiajia!"
"I've only done a little, but I can do it all!" Cao Jiajia argued.
"Okay, starting next year, you will be responsible for making dumplings!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"That's not good! I will only be seventeen next year and will be a child laborer, do you understand?" Cao Jiajia started to make excuses again.
Mom, "Seventeen is not a child anymore. Your brother started making dumplings by himself when he was fifteen. Jia Jia should practice first!"
"Okay! I'll drink my banana juice, it's delicious, and I won't say anything more to you."
"My strawberry juice tastes good too. Drinking fruit juice in winter is also good!" Song
"It's better to drink iced fruit juice in summer!"
"Don't give your iced food to the kids, and don't drink it in front of them, you hear me!"
"I see. They are still young. Can't they drink iced juice?"
"No, the stomach and intestines are not fully developed yet. Adults should not drink it often. Drink more pure fruit juice like our mom's without any additives."
"knew."
.......
"The smell of braised pork in the yard is so strong, almost every family makes it."
"I distributed five pounds of pork belly to each person, and the steel mill distributed another three pounds. I kept one or two pounds for making dumplings, and the rest was probably made into braised pork!"
"It's Chinese New Year again, so let's eat something good, and some families even stewed chicken."
"This year, a family can buy a few chickens for the New Year, which is better than previous years!"
“Dongfang, credit to you.”
“It’s none of my business.”
