If it's just delicious, even if the children in Sunny Orphanage are not usually hungry, they will eat it faster, after all, it's rare.
But now the snacks in their hands are even rarer than the usual ones, which makes them reluctant to eat them quickly. This is a gift from Gu Bai. According to their knowledge, the gift is only the first time the other party comes. will be given when.
Therefore, this precious gift must be eaten in small bites. After eating for a long time, I feel that I have eaten more.
Liu Shi chose tea eggs. He couldn’t help but lick a few more mouthfuls before peeling them off, and then carefully peeled off the shell, revealing the egg whites with textures all over the inside. The scent of tea and spices is also exciting.
Liu Shi took a small bite of the egg white. The salty, fragrant and tender taste of the egg white made him unable to close his eyes, savoring the beauty of this moment slowly, and then, like a little hamster, he hugged the tea egg in front of him, bit by bit. He gnawed and ate very slowly, trying to eat all the sweetness in every bite, and then took another bite.
The small classroom was unusually quiet, and the children in the orphanage didn't make a sound, but the expressions on their faces were enough to prove how much they liked the little gift in their hands.
Shen Yunian and the others were relieved to see that the group of children were focusing on the small gift in front of them. After all, the atmosphere just now really made them a little embarrassed.
They also brought gifts, but they knew that what Gu Bai brought was food, and what they brought were some clothes, shoes and daily necessities, which were considered what the orphanage needed.
Seeing that Liu Shi was almost finished eating, Gu Bai lowered his head and asked Liu Shi what he wanted to eat, so that he could prepare it later.
This question stumped Liu Shi. To be honest, he didn’t even think about it. Now he has eaten the tea eggs he wanted the most, and the chicken cake that he wanted the second. His personal appetite has been satisfied. Time really can not think of what to eat.
"I still haven't made up my mind yet." Liu Shi looked at Gu Bai nervously, afraid that Gu Bai would dislike him.
"Then think about it for a while, can you give me an answer before eleven o'clock?" Gu Bai glanced at the time, it is not yet 10:30, there is at least half an hour until eleven o'clock, it should be enough to think about it up.
And there is an hour between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock, as long as it is not a particularly complicated and time-consuming dish, it should be enough time.
It's just that if it's not enough, it can only be postponed a little later.
Liu Shi nodded again and again, he didn't speak, he knew that his stuttering was not pleasant.
After hearing the conversation between Gu Bai and Liu Shi, the other children remembered the reward Liu Shi had received, and their eyes immediately became envious.
Because the older children had finished their work, the dean asked the older children to take care of them here, and then brought Gu Bai and the others out to prepare for assigning tasks.
There are a lot of work in the orphanage, but generally it is to take care of the children who can’t take care of themselves, help them wash, dress, feed and do laundry, but the weather is cold, and the bathing is done once a week, and the interval is a bit longer, also to avoid catching a cold .
After all, the orphanage only has one bathing room. It’s okay in summer, and it’s quite cool. In winter, there is no bathroom heater. Taking a bath in a not-so-small bathing room is so sour...
Shen Yunian and the others went to see it just now. The shower room is not like a shower room in an ordinary building. It is in the bathroom, but a separate one. It is not too big, but it is easy to catch cold if you go in to wash alone in winter.
In addition, you can also take the children to school, help them with homework, play with them, teach them to sing and draw, these are the things that the volunteers who came before did.
However, if Shen Yunian and the others come, because they want to live here, they still need to do some work as an orphanage manager, such as patrolling the dormitory, helping in the cafeteria, cleaning, and doing some work within their ability.
So these jobs need to be allocated.
It is easy to inspect the dormitory, two people a day, there are exactly six people, each person has two rounds, maybe six people can inspect together on the last day.
When they went to help in the cafeteria, everyone would subconsciously look at Gu Bai. With such a chef around, they seemed to be playing tricks in front of Guan Gong.
Gu Bai smiled, and took over the job of cooking in the orphanage. The people present together cost about 20 or [-] yuan. Knowing how much time will be wasted, the most important thing is that the cost of cooking has also increased.
If he opened a restaurant by himself, Gu Bai would not care too much about this, but when working in an orphanage, Gu Bai would still control the cost, and it was the first time for Gu Bai to cook a big pot of meals in one breath.
When Gu Bai was cooking, the others volunteered to teach them things like cleaning the dishes, cleaning the ingredients, and feeding the children.
As for the rest of the care of the children, Shen Yunian and Bai Shuang acted as mentors, while Sheng Jianing said that he could take them to sing and draw, and as for playing with them...
Several people looked at Gu Bai tacitly. If these tasks were done by other people, the difficulty would be a bit high, but for Gu Bai, it was just right.
As for the remaining tasks in the orphanage, such as cleaning, they are basically done when they have time, and no one is responsible for it.
After discussing with each other, they went to take their luggage from the car and put them in the dormitory arranged by the dean. The building looked bad on the outside, but the inside was well maintained, and it looked very warm and tidy. Other than that it's a little small, everything else is ok.
The main reason is that because of the remoteness of their place, there are no hotels. They have to go a little farther away. The journey takes about 10 minutes. If it takes 10 minutes to go back and forth by car, they decided to live in the orphanage first.
Sheng Jianing's luggage was put in last, so she was the first one when it was taken out. She bent down to take out her luggage from the trunk. Sheng Jianing glanced into the trunk and noticed a white thing that looked like a fur collar , I thought who fell inside, and didn't think much about it.
In Shen Yunian, Bai Shuang took out her luggage one after another. The rest belonged to Gu Bai, and then Charlene's. At this time, the trunk was already quite empty. Bai Mao thought of glutinous rice balls.
The last time he went out, Tangyuan meowed for a while after he returned, and looked very angry. This time it took longer than last time, and he didn't know what his attitude would be.
Gu Bai sighed in his heart, after thinking about it, he felt that before going back, he should find a place to make some snacks for him, and maybe he will be fine after coaxing him.
Gu Bai thought very well, and was about to leave with his suitcase in hand, when he suddenly noticed a touch of white in a dark corner, that white looked familiar, he bent down, just in time to meet a small furry face, the gap between the eyebrows The crescent is unusually conspicuous.
Meeting Gu Bai's gaze, Tang Yuan let out a guilty meow, the sound was sweeter than ever, while Gu Bai looked at the cat dumbfounded.
The camera has been working, and the staff have found this cute kitten, but no matter how cute the cat is, it is their negligence, how could a cat run into the trunk without even finding it .
The staff didn't know that it was Gu Bai's cat, but they thought it was a wild cat climbing up on their car when it was parked outside. When they saw Gu Bai reaching out to catch the cat, they wanted to rush over to replace Gu Bai.
If it's a wild cat, it's very wild, if it scratches Gu Bai, it hurts Gu Bai's hand...
Tangyuan probably knew that her behavior was not right, so she was obediently carried out by Gu Bai, and even climbed up the pole very fluently, hugging Gu Bai's arm, lying in his arms, limp call out.
Shen Yunian and the others heard the barking just now, and they wondered where the cat was. They reacted as soon as they saw the glutinous rice balls. They said that they didn't see the glutinous rice balls when they came today, and they came with them.
"How did it follow?" Bai Shuang asked.
"At first glance, she got into the car secretly and was brought over by the car." Sheng Jianing said, she also realized what she saw just now.
And here, Gu Bai was hugging the cat, and the phone rang again. He avoided the camera and connected the phone, and then he heard Gu Chen say that the cat was gone. Looking at the location, it seemed to be at the Sunny Orphanage, asking Gu Bai Have you seen the glutinous rice balls?
"Tangyuan got into the car secretly, and came here with me, big brother, find someone to come and pick it up." Gu Bai was helpless, if he came to play, Tangyuan followed him, that's okay, the big deal is to play together Yes, but he's working here, so it's not appropriate to bring glutinous rice balls.
Gu Bai wanted to entrust the glutinous rice balls to other people to take care of them, so he went to pack his luggage, and then asked the other party to wait for the person sent by Gu Chen to arrive, then give the glutinous rice balls to the other party.
But now, Tangyuan has revealed her wild side, her claws are extremely sharp, she grins her teeth, bends her body down to breathe out, and looks like she is not easy to mess with.
And when the person Gu Bai found left, he returned to his usual sensibleness, followed Gu Bai step by step, and was very careful not to hinder Gu Bai's actions, so that Gu Bai didn't have to worry about stepping on it.
Knowing that Tangyuan was reluctant to part with Gu Bai and followed secretly, and seeing Tangyuan's clinging to Gu Bai, the dean thought about it and said, "Or let it follow you first, and wait for someone to pick it up." When people arrive, they will be sent away.”
After glancing at the glutinous rice balls, Gu Bai could only nod his head, then dragged his suitcase and walked towards the dormitory.
Gu Bai's dormitory is on the second floor, the children's dormitory is on the third floor, and the dean lives on the third floor, which is convenient for taking care of the children.
After putting down his luggage and packing up his things, Gu Bai went to the dean to ask what dishes he had today, and he also wanted to cook according to the ingredients the orphanage had.
Hearing Gu Bai's words, the dean brought Gu Bai into the kitchen. In this kitchen, Gu Bai couldn't let the glutinous rice balls come in, let him stay outside.
Probably because they couldn't enter the kitchen even at home, Tang Yuan sniffed the smell in the kitchen, and then squatted obediently by the door, but flicked her tail boredly.
Anyway, as long as Gu Bai doesn't come to find someone to take it away, Tang Yuan will behave quite obediently, she is a kitten with great feline virtues.
There are indeed not many ingredients in the orphanage. Gu Bai took a cursory glance and found that there are not many seasonings. Fortunately, there are basic oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as chili, shallot, ginger, and garlic. It is estimated that this is grown by the orphanage itself. Although some spices are a little less, there are still some, but looking at the types of spices, Gu Bai guessed that they probably bought them while studying his own tutorials.
It's just that the ingredients seem to be a little less, cabbage, radish, and tofu, and there is a piece of pork on the side, which doesn't look like a lot of pork.
But it's not worth much. Recently, the time for making sausages has passed, and the price of pork has also dropped. Besides, it's next to the suburbs, so it's probably cheaper than what Gu Bai bought.
Gu Bai looked around again, and saw vermicelli.
"Is it enough to make two dishes and one soup?" After reading the ingredients, Gu Bai almost thought about what to cook. Although the ingredients are simple, they are considered a good combination of meat and vegetables.
"One stewed vermicelli with cabbage and pork, one pan-fried tofu, and one radish broth." Gu Bai said, the taste of both dishes is salty and savory, and the soup is relatively light when eaten, and it goes well with it.
"Okay, okay, you can decide." The dean looked at himself that Gu Bai could make two dishes that sounded good, and there was no time for surprises, so there would be no objections.
The two were talking in the kitchen, but they didn't know that Bai Shuang, who was in charge of the class, couldn't control the children because the kitchen was directly opposite the small classroom. Although the situation inside the kitchen could not be seen through the window, they could see The situation outside the kitchen door.
And Gu Bai brought a cat over, and then they all saw the action of letting the cat stay where it is.
It is impossible to say that they have never seen cats. There are very few pet cats here, but because they are located in the suburbs, there are still a lot of wild cats, and they have chickens in the orphanage, so they have to pay more attention, because It is possible for chickens to be dragged away by cats when they were young, and of course, it is also possible for weasels.
However, wild cats can also catch mice, so they like and dislike wild cats, and some children even envy wild cats, because wild cats are very capable of surviving and can catch birds to eat, while they eat wild cats. The number of times the meat is not too much.
But what appeared in front of them now was Tangyuan. You must know that Tangyuan was a cute kitten in the community when they were wandering around. After being adopted by Gu Bai, they ate better and drank better. It looks even cuter.
Especially the way it washes its face makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
And after learning from Shen Yunian that this cat was raised by Gu Bai, he put a halo on its cute appearance, making the children love to look at it.
The effect of Shen Yunian's lecture just now was quite good, and he wondered if he had the talent to be a teacher, but after answering a question, he found that the students were distracted.
Those older children know that this is wrong, but the children's attention is completely attracted by the small movements of the glutinous rice balls. Even if they regain their senses, they can't help but look out of the window. At their age, they are easily attracted by others. something distracting.
Shen Yunian saw that they were so curious about the glutinous rice balls, and because they actually talked about a lot of content just now, they simply stopped. Everyone is still young. Even if they go to school outside, they are probably kindergartens, so there is no need to be too strict. .
With Shen Yunian's indulgence, the rest of the children all gathered together to look out the glass window. They knew they couldn't open the door. It was very windy and cold outside, and they would waste money on medical treatment if they caught a cold. Stay in the classroom honestly.
Because the windows are only so wide and so big, when swarms of bees squeeze past, tall and short get together, some people will always be unable to see clearly, so after a while of confusion, everyone lined up in an orderly manner according to their size.
Those who are too short can stand on the stool and look out, but lower their heads slightly so as not to block the sight of people behind them.
It's just that so many people came together, the windows were soon covered with a layer of water vapor, and the people inside could only keep wiping the water mist on the glass.
At first, Tangyuan didn't notice other people's eyes, because there was a distance between them, and it was still through the window. They just washed their face, licked their paws and body hair, and Tangyuan raised their feet to lick their belly.
This kind of action will only be done when it feels at ease. Although it is not at home now, but Gu Bai is by his side, Tangyuan is still very at ease.
It's just that as soon as it lifted its feet, it heard the movement next to it. When it raised its head strangely, it noticed that there were many people watching it. Then it quickly put its feet away and looked over there vigilantly. I forgot to yell inside.
Hearing the movement, Gu Bai came out, and met the small eyes at the window, a little strange, he remembered that Shen Yunian went in for class, why did he look out of the window during this class!
Especially when he saw Shen Yunian in the corner of the window, the other party was also looking at him as a teacher, but Gu Bai didn't think they were looking at him, the kitchen door was closed unless they had a perspective Eyes, otherwise you can only see the door and nothing else.
If you don't look at yourself, then...
Gu Bai looked at the glutinous rice balls at his feet, the glutinous rice balls were meowing and complaining, someone was peeking at the cat.
Shen Yunian met Gu Bai's gaze, coughed dryly in embarrassment, and told the children to stop watching, if you continue watching, Gu Bai will know that you haven't studied hard.
Shen Yunian originally just said this, but when he heard his words, all the children, big and small, quickly moved back to their original positions from the window, looking obediently one by one.
Gu Bai also found that the glutinous rice balls sitting here easily disturbed the children's attention. After thinking about it, he took the glutinous rice balls to the back door of the kitchen. This side was blocked from the wind, and the children couldn't see it. There happened to be a small corner. Let the glutinous rice balls warm up here too.
After setting up the glutinous rice balls, Gu Bai is ready to cook. If making vermicelli, first soak the vermicelli, and it will be ready in about half an hour.
The next step is to make rice. It is not easy to make rice for more than 20 people. Generally, several rice cookers are needed, but the orphanage obviously does not have it. The big pot is used here to cook rice.
Gu Bai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the pot, and prepared to cook the rice first. The rice is ready, as long as it is kept warm enough, it will still be hot when eaten.
Gu Bai first boiled the water in the pot, and then took advantage of the interval between boiling the water to wash all the rice. The rice at the orphanage is not bad, it is new rice this year, and it smells like rice.
Gu Bai was a little curious. After asking, he realized that the rice was bought from a nearby village. Most of it was planted by old people. The money given by the orphanage was the normal market price, but it was a little more than when those rice merchants came to buy it. In addition, it is for a group of poor children to eat, so people in the village are used to selling rice to her.
If the orphanage doesn't want it, sell it to someone else.
The water from washing fresh rice is abnormally white, because there are a lot of rice noodles, if it is old rice, the water will become much clearer after washing it a few times. When washing, the water in the pot also boiled. Gu Bai poured the rice into the pot , Stir constantly to prevent sticking to the pan.
The dean saw Gu Bai holding a big shovel constantly stirring, and wanted to help, but Gu Bai refused, but this step is indeed a bit time-consuming, Gu Bai yelled, and asked Bai Shuang if he finished his work?
After getting a confirmation reply, let him come to the kitchen to help.
Thanks to the small size of the orphanage, Gu Bai didn't even need to use his mobile phone, and Bai Shuang could hear him when he yelled.
When Bai Shuang came over, she washed her hands. The orphanage still had a faucet, but she didn’t want to use hot water just to wash her hands. She washed her hands with cold water. Her hands were clean, but they were also red.
Gu Bai glanced at his hands, stepped aside, and told Bai Shuang to keep stirring, and to pay attention to each position, the heat of the rice did not need Bai Shuang to pay attention to, he Will always pay attention here.
Bai Shuang nodded, holding the wooden handle of the frying shovel, a warmth came from it, and it was close to the stove, the heat came from the pot, which warmed him a lot.
Pan-fried tofu can be put at the end, Gu Bai will deal with the pork and cabbage first.
Slice the pork, cut the fat meat and lean meat separately, and then the fat meat can be fried in oil. Lard cooking is said to be greasy, but it tastes really delicious.
As for the cabbage, Gu Bai is tearing the cabbage, the taste of the torn cabbage will be better, it is better than cutting it with a knife, he is doing it here, Sheng Jianing and Xia Lin are doing almost the same work, and they are still thinking about Gu Bai Just now I called Bai Shuang to come over to help, and they all rushed over, and happened to see Gu Bai working.
After asking about the standard of shredding cabbage, they all came to help after washing their hands. It must be slow for one person to work, but when three people helped together, the speed increased all of a sudden, and the cabbage that needed to be used would be shredded soon.
Gu Bai started to cut the radish again, cut off the skin of the radish, when cooking the radish broth, the taste of the radish with the skin will not be good, after all, as the cooking time increases, the radish will become softer and rotten, but At the same time, it is impossible to make the skin so soft.
Gu Bai’s preparations are almost done here, and the rice is almost cooked. Gu Bai checked the state of the rice and made sure that there was only a little white heart in the middle of the rice, so he scooped up the rice and put it in a sieve aside. , cool the rice with cold water.
The honey left over from the boiled rice is milky white, and smells a faint fragrance. This is rice soup, which can be eaten or used to wash dishes, but not many people drink it now.
Firstly, there are fewer people cooking rice like this, and secondly, there is so much that everyone can drink, so why bother to drink this little rice soup.
"Dean, what do you think about this rice soup?" Gu Bai asked.
"Let me drink and see." The dean scooped up a bowl of rice soup and took a sip. The taste of the rice soup is pure rice aroma, with a little sweetness. It's not particularly delicious, but the taste is not too bad.
Drinking a bowl of rice soup on this cold day can make you feel warm all over your body.
"You can drink it." The dean said, pouring the pot of rice soup into two large teapots, and then asked Sheng Jianing and Charlene to take the cups to the classroom, and asked them to drink some rice soup to warm up.
Rice soup is also water, drinking some now will not affect the lunch too much.
Gu Bai added the steamer again, poured water into the pot, let the water boil, poured the cooked rice evenly, poked a few holes in the rice, and continued to close the lid.
This step takes about 10 minutes, and it can be regarded as the most skill-testing step.
Because it seems very simple, but the last step cannot be removed, otherwise the rice will not be cooked, and the steamed rice will become raw rice, so there is a test for people's skills, at least you are familiar with this rice. Otherwise, if this pot of rice is cooked raw, then today I can only eat raw rice.
Or it's time to make a porridge with this raw rice.
Hearing that Gu Bai specifically told Bai Shuang not to touch the lid here, the dean was relieved, she was afraid that Gu Bai would not understand this.
After all, this method of cooking may be seen more in rural areas, but in urban families, few people will cook like this. Everyone uses rice cookers. After all, rice cookers only need to add water and rice.
And the rice steamed in this way is said to be delicious, but there is a lot of time wasted in it, who can spend so long cooking with nothing to do.
The rice side is just the last step. Gu Bai blanched the freshly cut meat, rinsed it, and put it in the pressure cooker. It would have been more fragrant if cooked slowly in a small pot, but when cooking Also look at what people really need.
It is true that the meat will taste better if cooked in a small pot, and it will be more delicious, but Gu Bai has experience, it takes about an hour and a half, and after an hour and a half, he feels that the children in the orphanage will eat it. Dinner is over.
At that time, there is no point in making soup again.
Simpler is better.
Stew the meat first, and Gu Bai put the radish aside, ready to put it in when the time comes. This radish is not as resistant to stewing as meat, so it can only be put in the back, otherwise, if it is put together, he is afraid that he will finish it with the pressure cooker and open the lid. Only meat can be seen in it, and no radishes can be seen.
After preparing the soup and rice here, Gu Bai started to make pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli. The vermicelli was almost soaked at this time. Gu Bai fished out the vermicelli and put it aside. The onion, ginger and garlic were also ready.
He heated up the oil in a pan, Gu Bai poured in the fatty meat, fried the lard first, then put in the onion and ginger to sauté until fragrant, the aroma came out from the pot at once, the aroma of the onion and ginger was very strong, attracting several people to smell it I feel a little hungry after smelling the aroma. This aroma is not to make people greedy, but to remind people that it is time to eat and it is time to start eating.
Gu Bai put in the pork one by one, and the cabbage stir-fried evenly, the light red meat slices and the yellow-white cabbage came together.
Seeing that the cabbage was almost fried, Gu Bai poured clean water into it, which was the boiled water just prepared, then put in vermicelli, seasoned with soy sauce, and stir-fried all the ingredients in the pot evenly, Gu Bai covered the pot, turned the fire Tune down a little.
In fact, this dish does not look very good-looking, but as it is stewed, the meat aroma of pork and cabbage are mixed together, and the meat and coriander seem to be parallel, and the aroma keeps coming out, which makes people look inward. .
The aroma spread from the kitchen to the outside of the house, and then drifted into the small classroom along with the wind. Smelling this aroma, everyone present couldn't sit still, and kept looking towards the kitchen.
But now the snacks in their hands are even rarer than the usual ones, which makes them reluctant to eat them quickly. This is a gift from Gu Bai. According to their knowledge, the gift is only the first time the other party comes. will be given when.
Therefore, this precious gift must be eaten in small bites. After eating for a long time, I feel that I have eaten more.
Liu Shi chose tea eggs. He couldn’t help but lick a few more mouthfuls before peeling them off, and then carefully peeled off the shell, revealing the egg whites with textures all over the inside. The scent of tea and spices is also exciting.
Liu Shi took a small bite of the egg white. The salty, fragrant and tender taste of the egg white made him unable to close his eyes, savoring the beauty of this moment slowly, and then, like a little hamster, he hugged the tea egg in front of him, bit by bit. He gnawed and ate very slowly, trying to eat all the sweetness in every bite, and then took another bite.
The small classroom was unusually quiet, and the children in the orphanage didn't make a sound, but the expressions on their faces were enough to prove how much they liked the little gift in their hands.
Shen Yunian and the others were relieved to see that the group of children were focusing on the small gift in front of them. After all, the atmosphere just now really made them a little embarrassed.
They also brought gifts, but they knew that what Gu Bai brought was food, and what they brought were some clothes, shoes and daily necessities, which were considered what the orphanage needed.
Seeing that Liu Shi was almost finished eating, Gu Bai lowered his head and asked Liu Shi what he wanted to eat, so that he could prepare it later.
This question stumped Liu Shi. To be honest, he didn’t even think about it. Now he has eaten the tea eggs he wanted the most, and the chicken cake that he wanted the second. His personal appetite has been satisfied. Time really can not think of what to eat.
"I still haven't made up my mind yet." Liu Shi looked at Gu Bai nervously, afraid that Gu Bai would dislike him.
"Then think about it for a while, can you give me an answer before eleven o'clock?" Gu Bai glanced at the time, it is not yet 10:30, there is at least half an hour until eleven o'clock, it should be enough to think about it up.
And there is an hour between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock, as long as it is not a particularly complicated and time-consuming dish, it should be enough time.
It's just that if it's not enough, it can only be postponed a little later.
Liu Shi nodded again and again, he didn't speak, he knew that his stuttering was not pleasant.
After hearing the conversation between Gu Bai and Liu Shi, the other children remembered the reward Liu Shi had received, and their eyes immediately became envious.
Because the older children had finished their work, the dean asked the older children to take care of them here, and then brought Gu Bai and the others out to prepare for assigning tasks.
There are a lot of work in the orphanage, but generally it is to take care of the children who can’t take care of themselves, help them wash, dress, feed and do laundry, but the weather is cold, and the bathing is done once a week, and the interval is a bit longer, also to avoid catching a cold .
After all, the orphanage only has one bathing room. It’s okay in summer, and it’s quite cool. In winter, there is no bathroom heater. Taking a bath in a not-so-small bathing room is so sour...
Shen Yunian and the others went to see it just now. The shower room is not like a shower room in an ordinary building. It is in the bathroom, but a separate one. It is not too big, but it is easy to catch cold if you go in to wash alone in winter.
In addition, you can also take the children to school, help them with homework, play with them, teach them to sing and draw, these are the things that the volunteers who came before did.
However, if Shen Yunian and the others come, because they want to live here, they still need to do some work as an orphanage manager, such as patrolling the dormitory, helping in the cafeteria, cleaning, and doing some work within their ability.
So these jobs need to be allocated.
It is easy to inspect the dormitory, two people a day, there are exactly six people, each person has two rounds, maybe six people can inspect together on the last day.

After discussing with each other, they went to take their luggage from the car and put them in the dormitory arranged by the dean. The building looked bad on the outside, but the inside was well maintained, and it looked very warm and tidy. Other than that it's a little small, everything else is ok.

Sheng Jianing's luggage was put in last, so she was the first one when it was taken out. She bent down to take out her luggage from the trunk. Sheng Jianing glanced into the trunk and noticed a white thing that looked like a fur collar , I thought who fell inside, and didn't think much about it.

Gu Bai sighed in his heart, after thinking about it, he felt that before going back, he should find a place to make some snacks for him, and maybe he will be fine after coaxing him.
Gu Bai thought very well, and was about to leave with his suitcase in hand, when he suddenly noticed a touch of white in a dark corner, that white looked familiar, he bent down, just in time to meet a small furry face, the gap between the eyebrows The crescent is unusually conspicuous.
Meeting Gu Bai's gaze, Tang Yuan let out a guilty meow, the sound was sweeter than ever, while Gu Bai looked at the cat dumbfounded.
The camera has been working, and the staff have found this cute kitten, but no matter how cute the cat is, it is their negligence, how could a cat run into the trunk without even finding it .
The staff didn't know that it was Gu Bai's cat, but they thought it was a wild cat climbing up on their car when it was parked outside. When they saw Gu Bai reaching out to catch the cat, they wanted to rush over to replace Gu Bai.
If it's a wild cat, it's very wild, if it scratches Gu Bai, it hurts Gu Bai's hand...
Tangyuan probably knew that her behavior was not right, so she was obediently carried out by Gu Bai, and even climbed up the pole very fluently, hugging Gu Bai's arm, lying in his arms, limp call out.
Shen Yunian and the others heard the barking just now, and they wondered where the cat was. They reacted as soon as they saw the glutinous rice balls. They said that they didn't see the glutinous rice balls when they came today, and they came with them.
"How did it follow?" Bai Shuang asked.
"At first glance, she got into the car secretly and was brought over by the car." Sheng Jianing said, she also realized what she saw just now.
And here, Gu Bai was hugging the cat, and the phone rang again. He avoided the camera and connected the phone, and then he heard Gu Chen say that the cat was gone. Looking at the location, it seemed to be at the Sunny Orphanage, asking Gu Bai Have you seen the glutinous rice balls?
"Tangyuan got into the car secretly, and came here with me, big brother, find someone to come and pick it up." Gu Bai was helpless, if he came to play, Tangyuan followed him, that's okay, the big deal is to play together Yes, but he's working here, so it's not appropriate to bring glutinous rice balls.
Gu Bai wanted to entrust the glutinous rice balls to other people to take care of them, so he went to pack his luggage, and then asked the other party to wait for the person sent by Gu Chen to arrive, then give the glutinous rice balls to the other party.
But now, Tangyuan has revealed her wild side, her claws are extremely sharp, she grins her teeth, bends her body down to breathe out, and looks like she is not easy to mess with.
And when the person Gu Bai found left, he returned to his usual sensibleness, followed Gu Bai step by step, and was very careful not to hinder Gu Bai's actions, so that Gu Bai didn't have to worry about stepping on it.
Knowing that Tangyuan was reluctant to part with Gu Bai and followed secretly, and seeing Tangyuan's clinging to Gu Bai, the dean thought about it and said, "Or let it follow you first, and wait for someone to pick it up." When people arrive, they will be sent away.”
After glancing at the glutinous rice balls, Gu Bai could only nod his head, then dragged his suitcase and walked towards the dormitory.
Gu Bai's dormitory is on the second floor, the children's dormitory is on the third floor, and the dean lives on the third floor, which is convenient for taking care of the children.
After putting down his luggage and packing up his things, Gu Bai went to the dean to ask what dishes he had today, and he also wanted to cook according to the ingredients the orphanage had.
Hearing Gu Bai's words, the dean brought Gu Bai into the kitchen. In this kitchen, Gu Bai couldn't let the glutinous rice balls come in, let him stay outside.
Probably because they couldn't enter the kitchen even at home, Tang Yuan sniffed the smell in the kitchen, and then squatted obediently by the door, but flicked her tail boredly.
Anyway, as long as Gu Bai doesn't come to find someone to take it away, Tang Yuan will behave quite obediently, she is a kitten with great feline virtues.
There are indeed not many ingredients in the orphanage. Gu Bai took a cursory glance and found that there are not many seasonings. Fortunately, there are basic oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as chili, shallot, ginger, and garlic. It is estimated that this is grown by the orphanage itself. Although some spices are a little less, there are still some, but looking at the types of spices, Gu Bai guessed that they probably bought them while studying his own tutorials.
It's just that the ingredients seem to be a little less, cabbage, radish, and tofu, and there is a piece of pork on the side, which doesn't look like a lot of pork.
But it's not worth much. Recently, the time for making sausages has passed, and the price of pork has also dropped. Besides, it's next to the suburbs, so it's probably cheaper than what Gu Bai bought.
Gu Bai looked around again, and saw vermicelli.
"Is it enough to make two dishes and one soup?" After reading the ingredients, Gu Bai almost thought about what to cook. Although the ingredients are simple, they are considered a good combination of meat and vegetables.
"One stewed vermicelli with cabbage and pork, one pan-fried tofu, and one radish broth." Gu Bai said, the taste of both dishes is salty and savory, and the soup is relatively light when eaten, and it goes well with it.
"Okay, okay, you can decide." The dean looked at himself that Gu Bai could make two dishes that sounded good, and there was no time for surprises, so there would be no objections.
The two were talking in the kitchen, but they didn't know that Bai Shuang, who was in charge of the class, couldn't control the children because the kitchen was directly opposite the small classroom. Although the situation inside the kitchen could not be seen through the window, they could see The situation outside the kitchen door.
And Gu Bai brought a cat over, and then they all saw the action of letting the cat stay where it is.
It is impossible to say that they have never seen cats. There are very few pet cats here, but because they are located in the suburbs, there are still a lot of wild cats, and they have chickens in the orphanage, so they have to pay more attention, because It is possible for chickens to be dragged away by cats when they were young, and of course, it is also possible for weasels.
However, wild cats can also catch mice, so they like and dislike wild cats, and some children even envy wild cats, because wild cats are very capable of surviving and can catch birds to eat, while they eat wild cats. The number of times the meat is not too much.
But what appeared in front of them now was Tangyuan. You must know that Tangyuan was a cute kitten in the community when they were wandering around. After being adopted by Gu Bai, they ate better and drank better. It looks even cuter.
Especially the way it washes its face makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
And after learning from Shen Yunian that this cat was raised by Gu Bai, he put a halo on its cute appearance, making the children love to look at it.
The effect of Shen Yunian's lecture just now was quite good, and he wondered if he had the talent to be a teacher, but after answering a question, he found that the students were distracted.
Those older children know that this is wrong, but the children's attention is completely attracted by the small movements of the glutinous rice balls. Even if they regain their senses, they can't help but look out of the window. At their age, they are easily attracted by others. something distracting.
Shen Yunian saw that they were so curious about the glutinous rice balls, and because they actually talked about a lot of content just now, they simply stopped. Everyone is still young. Even if they go to school outside, they are probably kindergartens, so there is no need to be too strict. .
With Shen Yunian's indulgence, the rest of the children all gathered together to look out the glass window. They knew they couldn't open the door. It was very windy and cold outside, and they would waste money on medical treatment if they caught a cold. Stay in the classroom honestly.
Because the windows are only so wide and so big, when swarms of bees squeeze past, tall and short get together, some people will always be unable to see clearly, so after a while of confusion, everyone lined up in an orderly manner according to their size.
Those who are too short can stand on the stool and look out, but lower their heads slightly so as not to block the sight of people behind them.
It's just that so many people came together, the windows were soon covered with a layer of water vapor, and the people inside could only keep wiping the water mist on the glass.
At first, Tangyuan didn't notice other people's eyes, because there was a distance between them, and it was still through the window. They just washed their face, licked their paws and body hair, and Tangyuan raised their feet to lick their belly.
This kind of action will only be done when it feels at ease. Although it is not at home now, but Gu Bai is by his side, Tangyuan is still very at ease.
It's just that as soon as it lifted its feet, it heard the movement next to it. When it raised its head strangely, it noticed that there were many people watching it. Then it quickly put its feet away and looked over there vigilantly. I forgot to yell inside.
Hearing the movement, Gu Bai came out, and met the small eyes at the window, a little strange, he remembered that Shen Yunian went in for class, why did he look out of the window during this class!
Especially when he saw Shen Yunian in the corner of the window, the other party was also looking at him as a teacher, but Gu Bai didn't think they were looking at him, the kitchen door was closed unless they had a perspective Eyes, otherwise you can only see the door and nothing else.
If you don't look at yourself, then...
Gu Bai looked at the glutinous rice balls at his feet, the glutinous rice balls were meowing and complaining, someone was peeking at the cat.
Shen Yunian met Gu Bai's gaze, coughed dryly in embarrassment, and told the children to stop watching, if you continue watching, Gu Bai will know that you haven't studied hard.
Shen Yunian originally just said this, but when he heard his words, all the children, big and small, quickly moved back to their original positions from the window, looking obediently one by one.
Gu Bai also found that the glutinous rice balls sitting here easily disturbed the children's attention. After thinking about it, he took the glutinous rice balls to the back door of the kitchen. This side was blocked from the wind, and the children couldn't see it. There happened to be a small corner. Let the glutinous rice balls warm up here too.
After setting up the glutinous rice balls, Gu Bai is ready to cook. If making vermicelli, first soak the vermicelli, and it will be ready in about half an hour.
The next step is to make rice. It is not easy to make rice for more than 20 people. Generally, several rice cookers are needed, but the orphanage obviously does not have it. The big pot is used here to cook rice.
Gu Bai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the pot, and prepared to cook the rice first. The rice is ready, as long as it is kept warm enough, it will still be hot when eaten.
Gu Bai first boiled the water in the pot, and then took advantage of the interval between boiling the water to wash all the rice. The rice at the orphanage is not bad, it is new rice this year, and it smells like rice.
Gu Bai was a little curious. After asking, he realized that the rice was bought from a nearby village. Most of it was planted by old people. The money given by the orphanage was the normal market price, but it was a little more than when those rice merchants came to buy it. In addition, it is for a group of poor children to eat, so people in the village are used to selling rice to her.
If the orphanage doesn't want it, sell it to someone else.
The water from washing fresh rice is abnormally white, because there are a lot of rice noodles, if it is old rice, the water will become much clearer after washing it a few times. When washing, the water in the pot also boiled. Gu Bai poured the rice into the pot , Stir constantly to prevent sticking to the pan.
The dean saw Gu Bai holding a big shovel constantly stirring, and wanted to help, but Gu Bai refused, but this step is indeed a bit time-consuming, Gu Bai yelled, and asked Bai Shuang if he finished his work?
After getting a confirmation reply, let him come to the kitchen to help.
Thanks to the small size of the orphanage, Gu Bai didn't even need to use his mobile phone, and Bai Shuang could hear him when he yelled.
When Bai Shuang came over, she washed her hands. The orphanage still had a faucet, but she didn’t want to use hot water just to wash her hands. She washed her hands with cold water. Her hands were clean, but they were also red.
Gu Bai glanced at his hands, stepped aside, and told Bai Shuang to keep stirring, and to pay attention to each position, the heat of the rice did not need Bai Shuang to pay attention to, he Will always pay attention here.
Bai Shuang nodded, holding the wooden handle of the frying shovel, a warmth came from it, and it was close to the stove, the heat came from the pot, which warmed him a lot.
Pan-fried tofu can be put at the end, Gu Bai will deal with the pork and cabbage first.
Slice the pork, cut the fat meat and lean meat separately, and then the fat meat can be fried in oil. Lard cooking is said to be greasy, but it tastes really delicious.
As for the cabbage, Gu Bai is tearing the cabbage, the taste of the torn cabbage will be better, it is better than cutting it with a knife, he is doing it here, Sheng Jianing and Xia Lin are doing almost the same work, and they are still thinking about Gu Bai Just now I called Bai Shuang to come over to help, and they all rushed over, and happened to see Gu Bai working.
After asking about the standard of shredding cabbage, they all came to help after washing their hands. It must be slow for one person to work, but when three people helped together, the speed increased all of a sudden, and the cabbage that needed to be used would be shredded soon.
Gu Bai started to cut the radish again, cut off the skin of the radish, when cooking the radish broth, the taste of the radish with the skin will not be good, after all, as the cooking time increases, the radish will become softer and rotten, but At the same time, it is impossible to make the skin so soft.
Gu Bai’s preparations are almost done here, and the rice is almost cooked. Gu Bai checked the state of the rice and made sure that there was only a little white heart in the middle of the rice, so he scooped up the rice and put it in a sieve aside. , cool the rice with cold water.
The honey left over from the boiled rice is milky white, and smells a faint fragrance. This is rice soup, which can be eaten or used to wash dishes, but not many people drink it now.
Firstly, there are fewer people cooking rice like this, and secondly, there is so much that everyone can drink, so why bother to drink this little rice soup.
"Dean, what do you think about this rice soup?" Gu Bai asked.
"Let me drink and see." The dean scooped up a bowl of rice soup and took a sip. The taste of the rice soup is pure rice aroma, with a little sweetness. It's not particularly delicious, but the taste is not too bad.
Drinking a bowl of rice soup on this cold day can make you feel warm all over your body.
"You can drink it." The dean said, pouring the pot of rice soup into two large teapots, and then asked Sheng Jianing and Charlene to take the cups to the classroom, and asked them to drink some rice soup to warm up.
Rice soup is also water, drinking some now will not affect the lunch too much.
Gu Bai added the steamer again, poured water into the pot, let the water boil, poured the cooked rice evenly, poked a few holes in the rice, and continued to close the lid.
This step takes about 10 minutes, and it can be regarded as the most skill-testing step.
Because it seems very simple, but the last step cannot be removed, otherwise the rice will not be cooked, and the steamed rice will become raw rice, so there is a test for people's skills, at least you are familiar with this rice. Otherwise, if this pot of rice is cooked raw, then today I can only eat raw rice.
Or it's time to make a porridge with this raw rice.
Hearing that Gu Bai specifically told Bai Shuang not to touch the lid here, the dean was relieved, she was afraid that Gu Bai would not understand this.
After all, this method of cooking may be seen more in rural areas, but in urban families, few people will cook like this. Everyone uses rice cookers. After all, rice cookers only need to add water and rice.
And the rice steamed in this way is said to be delicious, but there is a lot of time wasted in it, who can spend so long cooking with nothing to do.
The rice side is just the last step. Gu Bai blanched the freshly cut meat, rinsed it, and put it in the pressure cooker. It would have been more fragrant if cooked slowly in a small pot, but when cooking Also look at what people really need.
It is true that the meat will taste better if cooked in a small pot, and it will be more delicious, but Gu Bai has experience, it takes about an hour and a half, and after an hour and a half, he feels that the children in the orphanage will eat it. Dinner is over.
At that time, there is no point in making soup again.
Simpler is better.
Stew the meat first, and Gu Bai put the radish aside, ready to put it in when the time comes. This radish is not as resistant to stewing as meat, so it can only be put in the back, otherwise, if it is put together, he is afraid that he will finish it with the pressure cooker and open the lid. Only meat can be seen in it, and no radishes can be seen.
After preparing the soup and rice here, Gu Bai started to make pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli. The vermicelli was almost soaked at this time. Gu Bai fished out the vermicelli and put it aside. The onion, ginger and garlic were also ready.
He heated up the oil in a pan, Gu Bai poured in the fatty meat, fried the lard first, then put in the onion and ginger to sauté until fragrant, the aroma came out from the pot at once, the aroma of the onion and ginger was very strong, attracting several people to smell it I feel a little hungry after smelling the aroma. This aroma is not to make people greedy, but to remind people that it is time to eat and it is time to start eating.
Gu Bai put in the pork one by one, and the cabbage stir-fried evenly, the light red meat slices and the yellow-white cabbage came together.
Seeing that the cabbage was almost fried, Gu Bai poured clean water into it, which was the boiled water just prepared, then put in vermicelli, seasoned with soy sauce, and stir-fried all the ingredients in the pot evenly, Gu Bai covered the pot, turned the fire Tune down a little.
In fact, this dish does not look very good-looking, but as it is stewed, the meat aroma of pork and cabbage are mixed together, and the meat and coriander seem to be parallel, and the aroma keeps coming out, which makes people look inward. .
The aroma spread from the kitchen to the outside of the house, and then drifted into the small classroom along with the wind. Smelling this aroma, everyone present couldn't sit still, and kept looking towards the kitchen.
