Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Meow meow~"

"Meow meow~"

Two strange cat meows came one after another continuously, but it was not the two kittens, Roubaozi and Pumpkin Pie, who were meowing, but the two little guys, Qingqing and Weiwei, who were teasing the kittens in the cage all the way.

The moment you step into the house...

The two little figures couldn't wait to take off their white shoes, their eyes shining like the brightest stars in the night sky, and they focused their attention on those furry little lives with joy.

Weiwei couldn't even wait to change her shoes. She raised her childish face and asked expectantly, "Dad, can I hug my pumpkin pie now?"

"Yes, of course, my dear Weiwei!"

Huang Jun responded gently, then gently put down the cat cage in his hand, carefully separated the little ones that were snuggling together, and gently took out the pumpkin pie that Weiwei had been thinking about and put it in her arms.

at this time.

The orange in the cage slowly opened one eye and lazily looked at who had gently taken its cub away. A hint of curiosity flashed across its eyes, and then it was infected by the warmth. It closed its eyes at ease and continued to immerse itself in its sweet dream.

When Roubaozi saw this, he couldn't help but raise his furry little head, and a series of clear and pleasant "meows" rang out, intertwined in the calls were gentle calls for his companions to leave, a hint of envy for the exclusive love, and a subtle hint of jealousy for not being chosen.

It also wants its owner to hug it and touch it!
Seeing this, Qingqing, who had been itching to play, blinked her bright and eager eyes and asked Huang Jun in a baby voice, "Daddy, I also want to play with my good friend, the meat bun. Can I?"

"Of course you can, my sweetheart!"

Huang Jun smiled kindly.

He gently bent down again and picked up the round meat bun easily.

In Huang Jun's warm embrace, Roubaozi purred contentedly.

He smiled, handed it to Qingqing and said, "Here, Qingqing, hold it carefully!"

"Thank you daddy!"

Qingqing took the meat bun with great joy. She carefully held it with both hands, one hand gently supporting its round belly, and the other hand gently stroking its soft and delicate hair.

Roubaozi closed his eyes in comfort as Qingqing caressed him.

Played intimately for a while...

Although the two little guys were full of joy, they were still children after all, with limited physical strength, and gradually they felt their arms a little sore.

then.

They all unanimously let the kittens return to the ground.

As soon as the meat buns and pumpkin pie were put back on the ground, they immediately became active. They ran around the living room happily, chasing their tails.

"Ok!"

Qingqing's little face showed a trace of helplessness. She shook her little arms and muttered softly: "My meat bun seems to have grown bigger and become heavier. I can hardly hold it anymore!"

Weiwei nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, my pumpkin pie is so heavy now! But it's cute to see them running around on the ground."

Huang Jun put the two quilts away, turned around, smiled and said, "They have indeed gained a lot of weight. We have to control their weight in the future, especially Orange. He eats a lot and doesn't like to exercise. If he continues like this, he will become a fat ball..."

As the saying goes, out of ten orange cats, nine are fat, and one of them can collapse the kang!

When he thought of this, a big fat man suddenly flashed through Huang Jun’s mind!

To avoid this from happening, it's time to control their diet!
He announced resolutely: "Qingqing, Weiwei, from today on, we have to implement regular feeding and quantitative feeding. We can no longer let them enjoy delicious food as they please."

Orange: "(ヾ)"

what?
Do you want to restrict my freedom of eating?

Shit shoveler, you have no martial ethics!

Really, I can't stay in this house for even a minute...

Believe it or not, this cat immediately ran away from home with his two children?
Or...the kind that never comes back?!
Meat bun: "(°°)"

This little cat is so small, do I still need to control my diet to lose weight?
Woohoo, don't...

Pumpkin Pie: "(0)~"

I don’t care, I just want to eat!
Seeing these little guys seem to understand what people say, with their pupils showing an expression of "earthquake", Huang Jun and the children couldn't help but be amused.

Although I know I have to control their diet, I can't help but want to spoil them when I see how cute they are.

However, for their health, Huang Jun decided to firmly implement this plan. He ignored their looks and gently told Qingqing and Weiwei: "Qingqing, Weiwei, you guys play here obediently. Daddy is going to prepare lunch."

"Yeah, Dad, go ahead!"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded obediently.

He smiled slightly and went straight towards the kitchen, leaving Orange and his family of three standing there going crazy, meowing frantically at his back.

Shit shoveler, please come back soon and change your mind...

pity!

The only response they received was the sound of Huang Jun gently closing the kitchen door, followed by the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen.

Faced with this unchangeable fact, the Orange family of three looked at each other in bewilderment and finally had to compromise. They found a cozy place in a corner of the living room, curled up together, and secretly felt sad...

what?
Why don't you run away from home?

Ok.

After running away from home, if the owner doesn’t come to look for them, they won’t be able to come back because of shame…

Besides, “It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality”…

Once you leave, it means you will never be able to eat the delicious meals made by your owner again, but if you stay, at least you can still taste some of them...

so!

It is impossible to run away from home, not in this lifetime.

Seeing the depressed look on her good friend Roubaozi's face, Qingqing's heart was instantly filled with tender compassion.

She slowly squatted down, gently stroked Roubaozi's furry little head, and gave it the most gentle comfort: "Roubaozi, Daddy did this for your own good, but don't worry, I will secretly give you some more, don't be sad, okay?"

at the same time.

Weiwei looked at Pumpkin Pie's aggrieved face, and her heart softened. She quickly joined in the comforting: "Pumpkin Pie, seeing you like this is really heartbreaking. Don't worry, I will secretly give you extra food to replenish your body when daddy isn't paying attention. Don't be sad, I'm here for you."

Or the little shit shovelers love them the most...

Meat Buns and Pumpkin Pie felt like they were about to shed two wide noodles tears in their hearts. They rubbed their little heads against Qingqing and Weiwei's hands and meowed. Their coquettish look made Qingqing and Weiwei smile like flowers.

Orange watched the two little guys trying to please people, and although he looked disdainful, a hint of envy rose in his heart.

It also wants to be pampered by its owner, so it changes its mind and gives it extra food.

But according to the owner's personality, this thing... is basically very difficult!

Just as Orange was wondering what to do, an idea suddenly popped up - how about this cat also try to humble himself and act coquettishly in front of the owner?

After all, who can resist the charm of a cute cat?

Huang Jun, who had no idea that "Juzi was about to embark on a new journey of 'seeking favor'", was busy preparing clay pot rice.

He poured the rice into a basin of clean water. As the water rippled, the rice grains rolled happily in the water, as if enjoying a refreshing "SPA".

Soaking the rice in this way can make it fuller when cooked, reduce the possibility of being undercooked, and cook faster.

During this period.

He carefully put the bacon and sausage into the pot, then added cooking wine and blanched them briefly for about two minutes.

This step is crucial and can completely remove dust and impurities that may adhere to the cured meat during the drying process.

After blanching…

He quickly took out the bacon and sausage, drained the water, and put them into the steamer.

Because cured meats become hard after drying, steaming them can soften them and release their aroma better.

As the steam rises, the kitchen is filled with an enticing aroma…

Seeing that the bacon and sausages in the steamer were gradually becoming soft, he turned off the fire and took them out one by one and placed them neatly on the chopping board.

He picked up a sharp kitchen knife, turned his wrist slightly, and used his smooth "rolling knife" technique to cut the bacon into slices of just the right thickness.

This way of cutting not only makes the bacon look more tempting, but also makes it easier to eat and increases appetite.

The sausages were naturally not neglected. He carefully cut them diagonally into slices of uniform thickness one by one. They contrasted with the bacon on the plate, looking bright red and attractive, like an exquisite painting waiting to be unfolded.

The green onions were also turned into finely chopped green onions by his skillful hands, bright green, lying quietly in the bowl.

All the preparations are done!
He walked over to the basin where the rice was soaking and looked at it carefully.

Hey, that's great!
The rice is plump and soaked just right.
Without saying a word, he poured all the rice into the colander and rinsed it with clean water to make it cleaner and fresher.

Then, he picked up the clean casserole, placed it steadily on the stove, added some water into it, and cooked it slowly over medium heat.

When the water started to bubble up... he poured all the rice he had prepared into the steaming casserole.

Why do you have to wait until the water boils before adding the rice?

This is because the rice core has opened during the soaking process. If the rice is put into the pot with cold water, it will absorb water like a sponge during a short period of heat preservation, making it impossible to cook rice with distinct and full grains.

There are some tricks to adding water. It should just cover the rice slightly, about the height of a little finger joint.

Don’t worry if there is too much water, just scoop some out.

He closed the lid gently.

As time goes by...

The rice in the casserole gradually became soft and sticky, and a layer of fine rice paste appeared on the surface, just like a layer of gauze covering it.

At this time, he turned down the fire, gently lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of hot air accompanied by a rich rice aroma blew towards him.

He couldn't help but take a light sniff, and at the same time, he did not forget to spread the sliced ​​sausage and bacon evenly on the rice, and then quickly covered the pot to let the delicious taste continue to brew.

Then, he poured some oil into the pot along the edge, letting the oil flow quietly to the bottom of the pot and help the rice to become crispy.

The next step is to wait slowly.

Every 20 seconds or so, he turns the casserole so that the fire can touch every side of the casserole, making the casserole rice more fragrant.

About ten minutes later...

An irresistible aroma of rice crust quietly spread, and he knew the time had come.

He opened the lid of the pot again, sprinkled a handful of green onions, and poured soy sauce on it. He used pure soy sauce without adding water or oyster sauce, just to get that rich soy sauce flavor.

of course.

You can also use steamed fish soy sauce instead of soy sauce.

Deng Deng Deng!
A Cantonese-style cured meat clay pot rice with attractive color, fragrant aroma and excellent taste is now ready.

Looking at the crystal clear rice with distinct grains, the bright-colored preserved meat and the emerald green onions adorning it, his eyes sparkled with satisfaction, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad, it makes me very hungry just by looking at it!"

He carefully placed the casserole and tableware on the tray and walked briskly out of the kitchen while calling out, "Qingqing, Weiwei, dinner is ready!"

"Here I come, Daddy!"

When Qingqing and Weiwei heard the call, their eyes lit up.

next second...

Without hesitation, they both dropped their meat buns and pumpkin pie, and their little feet hopped on the ground, like two happy whirlwinds, running straight towards Huang Jun. Their desire for delicious food completely overwhelmed their attachment to their playmates, and they staged a vivid scene of "friendship takes a back seat when delicious food is in front of them".

The "abandoned" meat buns and pumpkin pie meowed innocently, as if protesting: "Where is the companionship you promised me? Why are you running off to eat in the blink of an eye? Woohoo, don't abandon us!"

then…

They chased after Qingqing and Weiwei closely.

Even Orange, who was dozing lazily in the corner, was suddenly awakened by the tempting fragrance. Seeing the children running towards Huang Jun so eagerly, even forgetting her mother for the time being, she shook her head helplessly at first, and then was infected by the atmosphere. She jumped up, meowed, and followed them, as if saying: Wait for me, I want to have a share too!

Huang Jun looked at the "eating squad" consisting of two little guys and one big and two small cats, and couldn't help laughing. He gently reminded them: "Qingqing, Weiwei, remember to wash your hands first..."

"Okay, got it!"

The two little guys immediately changed direction and ran to the bathroom in a hurry.

The three members of the Orange family who were following closely behind accidentally bumped into each other due to inertia and speeding too fast. This scene made Qingqing and Weiwei burst into laughter.

Realizing that their father had already put the food on the table, the two little ones quickly washed their hands and ran to the table again, while the Orange family also staggered further towards Huang Jun.

Seeing that the two little ones were already sitting at the table, Huang Jun carefully placed the hot clay pot rice and bowls and chopsticks in front of them. Then he did not forget to prepare food for Orange's family and scooped some clay pot rice into their respective cat bowls.

"Come on, eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

Huang Jun gave these instructions while shifting his gaze between the children and the cats.

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded in agreement. They held the chopsticks in their little hands, carefully picked up a piece of bacon, blew on it gently, and then put it into their mouths.

That satisfied look was as if he had tasted the purest happiness in the world.

"Wow, this meat is so delicious!"

"Mmm, the rice is delicious too!"

At the same time, the Orange family also gathered around their cat bowl, licking the food gently with their little tongues and occasionally making satisfied "meow" sounds.

Huang Jun smiled and joined the group eating.

He picked up a piece of bacon, which shone glossy under the light. It was fat but not greasy, and lean but not dry.

He blew on it gently so as not to burn his mouth, and put it into his mouth.

The mellow aroma of bacon instantly blooms in your mouth, and the smoky flavor and the deliciousness of the meat interweave into a wonderful taste symphony.

He picked up another piece of sausage, the slightly sweet taste of which formed a wonderful contrast with the salty aroma of bacon, and the taste was rich and layered.

The sausage meat is firm and chewy, and every bite is an ultimate indulgence for your taste buds.

of course.

He also did not ignore the essence of clay pot rice - the distinct grains of rice.

Take a spoonful, the rice is soft and elastic, and each grain has fully absorbed the essence of the cured meat. It has a salty fragrance with a hint of sweetness, which is very memorable.

He used a spoon to gently scrape off the tempting golden rice crust. The crispiness of the rice crust and the slight "crunch" sound made while chewing formed a sharp contrast with the softness of the rice, yet they coexisted harmoniously, stimulating a more complex taste experience.

Ah!
Not bad!

Very comfortable!
"Dad, how many days do we have off?"

Weiweiwei was chewing the delicious clay pot rice and suddenly looked up and asked Huang Jun.

"Three and a half days of vacation!"

Huang Jun answered immediately, and then said: "Dad can take you out to have some fun in these three days."

When Weiwei heard that she could go out to play, her eyes lit up instantly, and she asked expectantly, "That's great, Dad. Where are we going to play tomorrow?"

Huang Jun looked at Weiwei with a smile and said, "Where do you want to go?"

Weiwei showed a mischievous smile on her little face: "I want to play whack-a-mole and catch dolls, okay?"

Hearing that the little guy wanted to go to the arcade, Huang Jun smiled and asked Qingqing for her opinion: "Qingqing, what do you think? Is there any place you want to go?"

Qingqing said caringly: "Dad, I will go wherever my sister wants to go. Let's go together!"

Seeing that the two little guys agreed, Huang Jun naturally nodded and agreed: "Okay! Let's go to the arcade tomorrow!"

"Yeah~"

The two little guys cheered happily.

Huang Jun smiled and reminded them: "Eat your meal first, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

After saying that, he continued to enjoy the delicious clay pot rice.

At this time.

The three members of the Orange family finished the food in the cat bowl. Their round little eyes sparkled with an unsatisfied look, and they all made soft and eager "meows", as if whispering: Pooper scooper, our stomachs are still growling, can we have some more?

For the sake of their health, Huang Jun simply ignored their calls and continued eating.

See this.

Orange had no choice but to "bow down for a few pieces of silver", lower himself and start his "acting cute and seeking favor" mode.

It ran to Huang Jun's feet, circled around him, and wagged its tail like a rattle, trying hard to attract Huang Jun's attention.

Seeing that Huang Jun seemed not to see anything and had no reaction at all, it became anxious and simply rubbed its head against Huang Jun's legs, and nudged him from time to time. Its eyes clearly said: Please, poop shoveler, just give me a little more, okay!

Although Huang Jun's heart softened, he still firmly did not respond.

Unwilling to give up, Orange continued to rub against him, and even let the two children rub against him together, meowing as he did so, trying to wake up Huang Jun's hard heart.

Qingqing and Weiwei on the side couldn't bear it, they exchanged knowing glances and secretly reached for the remaining sausages in their bowls.

then…

Take advantage of Huang Jun's inattention!
They quickly grabbed a few slices, turned their backs, and quietly threw them under the table.

The Orange family's ears keenly captured the slight sound of the sausage falling to the ground, and they quickly ran to where the sausage fell.

Orange discovered the delicacies first. It nudged the meat buns and pumpkin pie with its nose, as if saying: Kids, eat quickly!
Then they began to eat happily, chewing quickly with their little mouths.

It tastes so delicious!
Huang Jun noticed something was wrong, looked down, and immediately understood.

Hey!
We agreed to help Orange and the others control their diet, but you two secretly cooked for them behind my back...

But what can be done?
You have to continue to pamper your own child. (End of this chapter)
