American Ranch

Chapter 381 Ordinary Life

A finger-long small fish, wrapped in batter, undulates in the boiling oil pan, emitting a fresh fragrance, and the greedy girls tiptoed to look around.

The adults chatted and waited for the delicious food to come out. The leisurely and happy atmosphere made everyone enjoy it.

Holding the colander in his hand, Qin Yi took good care of this pot of delicious food filled with anticipation and joy.
Mother Qin was worried that the oil droplets would splash out and burn the two girls, so she coaxed them to stand back.

But it's too far away, and the girls can't see the small fish churning in the pot, and they can't even hope for plums to quench their thirst.
The girls blinked their big eyes, looking dazedly expectant, which made the adults feel amused, but Mother Qin had a way, and brought two small benches, and the girls stood on them, so they could easily see the inside of the frying pan. Now, the girls are happy again.

Seeing that the girls were only interested in their mouths and stopped playing with him, Father Qin sat down in front of the stove, added some firewood to the stove, and helped take care of the pot of chicken soup that was already emitting a scent.

Susa and Colo helped cut potatoes, washed mushrooms, and chatted with Amanda and the others, never neglecting their friends.

The oil pan squeaked for a while, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, and the small fish wrapped in batter became golden, floating one by one, and when they were tapped lightly with chopsticks, they made a more textured and hoarse sound. As soon as you hear it, you know that a lot of water has evaporated.

It's ready to cook.

Qin Yi didn't delay, and it would be over-fried after a while, which would affect the taste.

Take it out with a colander, control the oil, and pour it into the small stainless steel basin that has been prepared, the girls immediately cheered: "Wow, fried small fish is ready, fragrant small fish!"

He dexterously jumped down from the small bench, held his little hands, and climbed up with a smile!
Qin Yi laughed, picked up the smaller ones with chopsticks, shook them a few times to let them cool, and stuffed them into the girls' little mouths one by one. Seeing them eating happily, he was also happy in his heart.

The old couple and the women all looked at it cheerfully, thinking that it is good to have children in the family. Even a simple matter, with the participation of well-behaved children, is also full of joy!
The girls were happily chewing the small fish in their mouths. It was crispy and fragrant, and they nodded happily: "It's delicious! Uncle Yi is really amazing!"

"Yeah, Uncle Yi is the most powerful!"

Qin Yi was delighted to see the cute appearance of the girls. He wanted to rub their little heads, but he was busy cooking and his hands were covered with oil and water, so forget it!
But he didn't expect the maids to praise him, and then ran up to tug at the corner of his clothes, and waved his little hands to make him squat down.

Qin Yi knew what was going on at a glance, he squatted down cheerfully, and sure enough, the girls came up with pouting mouths, one by one, and kissed him on the cheek!
Then, he giggled and ran away, leaving Qin Yi with a small oily mouth mark on each of his left and right faces.
The adults laughed lightly.

Keluo smiled for a while, and wiped him with a towel, while Susa held up a small basin for everyone to taste the taste of fried small fish.

Qin Yi was secretly satisfied: Daughters-in-law are still the best!
The old couple pinched a small fish and tasted it, then stopped eating and concentrated on teasing the children, but Amanda and Sara were not polite, and their mouths bulged when they ate.

But the girls who ate the fastest were the girls, their little chopsticks were waving, their little mouths never stopped, their little faces were full of joy.

Qin Yi continued to work, there were still plenty of small fish, the pot just now was only one-fifth of the whole pot, after all, it would take four rounds to finish frying.

Seeing everyone eating happily and having fun, he is also full of motivation, and he joins everyone's conversation from time to time, leisurely and carefree.

In fact, among my friends, Amanda has eaten the most before that. She has eaten all kinds of fried fish, meat buns, burritos and so on. After all, this girl works on the farm and lives in the main house from time to time. One night, whisper to Susa and Keluo, good girlfriends!
Although Rachel is closer, she is more diligent and introverted, and rarely goes to the main house, unless there is an event, or Qin Yi invites their family to be a guest, she usually will not go there.

Therefore, it seems that she has a lot of opportunities, but in fact she has not eaten many times, but it is right to taste them one by one.

The one who is really the least is Jenny, who comes less often. Sarah will go to the ranch during the holidays, which is about the same as Rachel.

Qin Yi was busy frying small fish. Seeing that the chicken soup was almost stewed, Susa put the potatoes and mushrooms that had been prepared into it, stirred it a little, then covered the pot and continued to simmer.

At this time, Qin's father went to play with his granddaughters again, and the stove was unattended, so Ke Luo leaned over and tinkered curiously.

I came back to my hometown twice with Qin Yi and lived for a long time. I never had a chance to burn the farmhouse's earthen stove, because Qin's mother refused to let her. In her old man's words: such a good daughter-in-law, how can I let them do this kind of thing? "Dirty work" too!

Therefore, although both Susa and Keluo were curious about this earthen stove like a fireplace, neither of them had the chance to light a fire by themselves!

Now the old couple only cares about playing with their little granddaughter, so Ke Luo quietly came over, even though it was burning inside, he couldn't help adding a piece of firewood out of curiosity
The stove was burning hot, and the soup pot was gurgling, which made her smile, thinking it was fun.

Amanda and others also came over, they have been interested in this thing for a long time!
It's just that you add a piece of firewood, and I also add a piece of firewood. After a while, the stove is full, and the air is not ventilated, and the fire is almost suffocated.
It took half an hour to finish frying the small fish, and let everyone eat some puffs to fill their stomachs. Qin Yi started to bake the pancakes again. This is relatively simple, palm-sized double-layer round pancakes, just bake them in the pan.

At this time, the cooked beef has been marinated, Qin Yi tasted a piece, it was crispy and delicious.

Nodding his head, he was about to take it out and chop it up, and make a meat sandwich for everyone to eat first, when the girls came running with their mouths smacking.

In his bulging mouth, he was still eating small fish and didn't speak. He just blinked his big eyes and looked back and forth between Qin Yi's face and the stewed beef. That innocent and expectant look obviously wanted to eat stewed beef Well!
The adults grinned.

Qin's mother squatted down and hugged them, touching her belly, "Oh, the babies are almost full, and there is still a pot of chicken soup, don't you want to drink it?"

Angel smiled and nodded her head: "I want to drink! I also want to eat meat."

"I want to drink too!"

Becky patted her belly, um, it was round, she looked at the small fish, then at the stewed beef and chicken soup, pursed her lips and made a decision: "Then, I won't eat small fish, I want Eat meat and chicken soup!"

"The little ones are the most obedient. It's not good for the little fish to eat too much at one time! Let's drink more chicken soup and grow faster!"

Qin's mother is very good at coaxing children, and she has already figured out the little thoughts of the girls: I want to grow up quickly!
Sure enough, when the girls heard this, they immediately expressed that they would drink more chicken soup and grow as tall as their mothers!

Susa, Keluo and the others also didn't want their children to eat small fish for a long time, it was too greasy, and it would be indigestible if they ate too much, which was not good for children.

Now I can coax them to eat more meat broth and chicken soup, that would be the most satisfying.

Qin Yi fished out the stewed beef, cut it with a few knives, and chopped it into small pieces. Seeing the maids staring at the meat with big eyes, he smiled slightly, picked up two pieces and stuffed them into their small mouths.

The girls giggled and ate meat happily.

The two-layer pancakes opened with a little force. Put minced beef, chopped green onion, chopped chili, and a few shredded pickles. It is colorless, complete and rich in content.

Qin Yi worked hard for a while and made a lot. Everyone had one, and before drinking the chicken soup, they ate it deliciously.
