Although Su Qingluan knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape the "blind date" he arrived at the next day, and that the other party was a 16-year-old kid, Su Qingluan was mentally prepared, but he still had to have a good Dragon Boat Festival. There should also be a sense of ritual, such as eggs.
In the past two years, as the living conditions of the Su family have continued to improve, the Su family has completely bid farewell to the previous situation where eating eggs was a luxury. Therefore, the two little guys are increasingly reluctant to eat the relatively bland boiled eggs. .
Fortunately, this "picky eating" problem is still within control. Occasionally, Su Xuanhe or Su Xueyan behaved excessively, such as skipping meals for certain snacks, or deliberately throwing away certain ingredients because they didn't like them. Naturally, Su Qingluan would not beat or scold them as violently as Su Guangfu and Yang.
She focuses on a "coddling correction". For example, if they skip meals to eat snacks, or deliberately skip meals to play games, Su Qingluan will let them play as much as they want at one time, or put the same snacks in piles. In front of you, you must eat everything. If you can’t finish it, you can’t eat anything else.
Or if you secretly throw away all the vegetables you don't like, Su Qingluan will have such dishes in every meal. If you are still picky about food, then go hungry. One meal is not enough and I am hungry again.
After several times, this kind of "indulgent pampering punishment" is in a sense much more "impressive" than simple education by beating and scolding. After all, eating snacks until you vomit or watching your family eat makes you hungry. Crying is an experience that is rare for most people.
With Su Qingluan's methods, even if his younger siblings don't like boiled eggs very much, they can at best ask Su Qingluan to cook them less often, or use other cooking methods such as fried eggs or egg custard instead.
But since it is the Dragon Boat Festival, there is always an "egg-crashing" competition. Although the Su family did not prepare many boiled eggs, Su Qingluan gave them to his younger brother and sister in order to give them "weapons" to "confront" the children in the same village. A boiled egg for each of them.
As for the other eggs, Su Qingluan found out about ten more and put them in a soup made of soy sauce, tea leaves and other spices to make tea eggs.
The tea is broken tea leaves sold in the tea shop in the town. After all, it is just for making tea eggs. Su Qingluan was asked to make tea eggs with dozens or hundreds of taels of high-quality tea leaves. Although Su Qingluan saw it in the news in her previous life, I have been to similar "rich people", but if you let her do this, she will definitely be very heartbroken.
For tea eggs, wait until all the eggs are cooked. You cannot take out the eggs. Instead, beat the eggshell carefully to make fine crack marks appear on the eggshell. This will allow the stewed soup to better penetrate into the egg white. , so that it can be more flavorful the next day.
So Su Qingluan started to crack the eggshells of the hard-boiled eggs one by one after the meal.
At first, Su Xueyan was also curious about this kind of job of cracking eggshells. However, the wet eggs were very slippery. For a five-year-old girl, the task of cracking eggshells was still a bit too "heavy". She only cracked two eggshells before shaking her head and giving up. .
It was bright and early the next morning, and everyone got up very early because they were going for an outing.
Although Su Xuanhe had a hard time getting up every morning when he went to school to study, but it was different today. Except for things like outings and outings, he would never dislike getting up early. Therefore, compared to Yang and Su Guangfu, Su Xueyan and Su Xuanhe got up earlier, even clamoring to go out to play before dawn.
"After you finish breakfast later, come over and try on the new clothes!" Although Yang said "you", her eyes specifically looked at Su Qingluan, which made Su Qingluan understand that it must be her mother who wanted to do this. In this "blind date game", a new set of clothes was made for her.
Eh? Why did she say "again"?
After washing up, Su Qingluan brought the cool tea eggs and rice dumplings to the table. Yang was afraid that the rice dumplings were too sweet and would lead to acid reflux if she ate too much, so she took a plate of pickles from the pickle jar and cut them into shreds before eating.
After being left overnight, the tea egg soup has completely penetrated into the cracked eggshell. As long as the eggshell is peeled off, you can see the brown patterns on the surface of the egg white, dividing the snow-white and crystal clear egg white into various shape. After one sip, the originally tasteless egg white is salty and delicious, and if you taste it carefully, there is also a faint fragrance of tea leaves.
"Sister, boiled eggs like this are much more delicious than boiled eggs!" Su Xuanhe held up the tea egg that he took a bite of, "Shall we all eat boiled eggs like this in the future?"
Su Qingluan nodded: "If you are willing to eat, you will eat like this from now on."
"I say Da Ya, you really dote on your brother too much," Ms. Yang disagreed, "You are so picky about food at a young age. You don't even want to eat hard-boiled eggs. You are really hungry!"
Su Xuanhe thought about the days when he was really hungry, and said quickly: "Mom, I also eat boiled eggs!"
At this time, Su Xueyan, who opened the rice dumpling leaves first, said in surprise: "Today's rice dumplings are more delicious than yesterday! They are chewy!"
Hearing what the youngest daughter said, the remaining members of the Su family untied the rice dumplings and put them in their mouths.
Except for Su Qingluan, everyone was amazed by the firmer and more chewy texture.
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "Yesterday when you ate them, they had just come out of the pot, and the temperature had not gone down yet. Yesterday, I kept the rice dumplings in the well water. The well water was cold, which allowed the glutinous rice to cool down and shrink quickly, so that it would naturally become more elastic. It tastes like teeth - but after all, this thing is not easy to digest, so you still can’t be greedy for too much.”
At this time, she saw Mr. Yang taking apart a salty rice dumpling, and she couldn't help but tease: "Auntie, didn't you say that salty rice dumplings are evil? Why are you still eating such evil now?"
When Yang heard this, she glared at Su Qingluan: "Okay, okay, I know your skills, can't I apologize to your mother?"
Su Qingluan quickly reached out and peeled off Yang's rice dumplings and put them in the bowl in front of her: "Hey, if you want to eat, you can eat more. I didn't say anything..."
Because there was no fire for this meal in the morning, I ate it very quickly. By the time everyone finished eating and clearing away the dishes, the sky outside was still gray and not bright.
"Breakfast is finished, come with me to see your new clothes," Yang greeted the three children, "I worked hard for most of the night yesterday and finished them."
"Auntie, we already have enough new clothes, why do we need to make another set?" Su Qingluan sighed, looking at Yang's dark circles with some distress.
"Who am I doing this for?" Yang glared at Su Qingluan, who immediately lowered her head obediently and lowered her eyebrows - and then she couldn't calm down anymore.
The three sets of clothes in front of me are all the styles that the three sisters usually wear, a round-necked arrow-sleeved robe, a chest-length rut and a cross-collared train.
Su Qingluan stared hard at her cross-collar robe - its color was so pink that it almost blinded her titanium alloy eyes!
