Chapter 174 Crispy Fried Bean Worms
Xiuer was awakened by the sweet aroma of the cake, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), and hugged Chang Kun's leg.
The little girl knew very well that if there was something good to eat at home, asking her parents would be useless, and asking her older sister would only lead to them taking it from her. Only her eldest brother would dote on her.
She had just woken up and was still sleepy when she grabbed Chang Kun's leg and started climbing up.
Chang Kun quickly cut the cake into eight pieces and lifted Xiu'er up so she could sit on his lap.
"Eat up." Without even teaching the little girls to sing the birthday song, Chang Kun announced that they should start eating.
Xiuer opened her mouth wide, "Ah—" waiting for her older brother to feed her.
The moment the cream hit their mouths, the little girls' eyes widened in surprise.
It's so smooth and sweet, how can something be so delicious! My brother is incredibly amazing to have found something this good!
Seeing the little girls eating with relish, Chang Kun dipped some cream in the cream and dabbed it on their noses, watching them with a happy smile.
In his past life, sometimes when his sisters celebrated their birthdays, they would invite Chang Kun to attend. He would watch as his sisters' children and grandchildren laughed and played, smearing cream on each other, and he felt incredibly envious.
Eating cake and playing with my sisters at this moment felt like being intoxicated with joy.
Cheng Min ate the cake, feeling incredibly sweet inside.
Watching Chang Kun feed Xiu'er in small bites, the joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.
I imagine this kind of scene will happen when I have my own children in the future.
After feeding Xiu'er the cake, it was getting late. Chang Kun left two beggars, Fei Long, with Cheng Rongjiang and Cheng Jie, and then took his leave.
Having had such a wonderful day, Cheng Min was a little reluctant to leave. She escorted them all the way to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, and only after watching Chang Kun's family ride away on their bicycles did she turn around and go home.
"Mom, we ate so much delicious food today."
On the way, Chang Qing boasted to his parents about how spicy the meat skewers were, how delicious the dragon fruit was, and how smooth and sweet the cake was.
"Xiao Kun, when you left just now, I could see that Xiao Min was very reluctant to leave. Let's go and settle things between you two sometime."
Seeing that Chang Kun and Cheng Min's relationship was getting better and better, Liu Meifen was very happy. She was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"Alright, Father and Mother, you set a date."
When the family returned home, Chang Kun took out three Flying Dragon Mud Balls and gave them to his parents and eldest sister to eat.
The three were surprised again, never expecting that covering the dragon with mud would produce such delicious food.
"Mom, this method can be used not only to make dragons, but also to make chicken, which is just as delicious." Beggar's chicken is originally made from chicken.
"Don't even think about taking those hens!" Liu Meifen glared at her son. Of the ten laying hens, only six remained; the rest had been eaten.
In these days when even eggs are scarce, this is practically a crime.
She wanted to collect a few eggs from the remaining hen every day to nourish her chicks.
Seeing his mother's stern gaze, Chang Kun didn't say anything more. It was one thing to not let him eat the chickens at home, but there were plenty of wild chickens in the mountains, although wild chicken meat was tougher and not as tasty as chicken.
There was no shortage of food at home, and Chang Kun hadn't gone hunting in the mountains for a long time. He was thinking of leaving some game for the villagers.
If he were to use the system to go into the mountains, it wouldn't take many times before the prey in the mountains would be hunted to extinction.
After chatting for a while, the family peeled the bean worms together and threw their innards to the hen.
"Xiao Kun, how do you eat this?" Liu Meifen always smiles whenever she sees her son bringing food home.
"Put them in the oil, and those little crabs too, they all need to be put in the oil."
"What?! A deep fryer?!" The old lady stopped laughing.
At that time, each person in the city was allotted three ounces per month, and often they couldn't even get their share.
If these bean worms and crabs were deep-fried, they could consume a family's entire year's worth of oil.
Thinking of this, Liu Meifen quickly got up and pressed down on the oil jar: "That won't do, that would be too wasteful of oil. Let's just boil it in water, it'll taste the same."
Chang Kun pursed his lips. He had eaten that boiled bean worm for two days in Guangde Village and was really sick of it.
"Mom, we're not short of oil at home. I'll go up the mountain these next couple of days and hunt a wild boar for you. You can use the lard as you like."
Hearing this, Liu Meifen smiled. She knew her son's abilities; since he had promised to go up the mountain to hunt wild boar, he would definitely be able to do it.
Heat oil in a wok, then add the bean worms. With a sizzle, the oil bursts up, quickly releasing an enticing aroma. The smell of protein caramelizing at high temperatures, mixed with the fragrance of oil, wafts straight into your nose.
Chang Kun forbade the girls from getting close to the oil fryer; they could only sniff it from a distance.
"Xiaoqing, didn't you say these bean worms don't taste good?" Chang Kun teased his younger sister.
Chang Qing swallowed hard, unable to contain his saliva: "Brother, even if you just took a piece of cow dung and fried it in oil, it would still smell delicious!"
*Slap!* Liu Meifen slapped Chang Qing on the head. "If you can't speak properly, shut up!"
Just as the delicious food was about to be served, this girl started saying something about deep-fried cow dung, which completely ruined my appetite.
After frying the bean worms, remove them from the oil and let them cool.
Then the small crabs were also put into the oil, and the aroma turned into a salty and savory seafood flavor, making the little girls' throats gurgle.
"Big brother, can we eat now?" Chang Qing held a bowl of fried bean worms, sniffing the bowl incessantly.
Chang Mu and Chang Xiu stood on the other side of the bowl, staring intently at the bean worms that had been fried to a golden brown.
Without their elder brother's permission, they dared not take a bite.
Judging that the bean worms should have cooled down, Chang Kun nodded. At that moment, the little girls cheered and grabbed them into the bowl.
After stuffing one into their parents' mouths, they couldn't resist any longer. They tilted their heads back, put the bean worms to their lips, blew on them twice, and then threw them into their mouths.
With a crisp "crunch," Chang Qing chewed and mumbled, "Big brother, it smells so good!"
The three little girls didn't care that it was hot, each taking one bite. Before long, the room was filled with the crisp sounds of chewing and satisfied sighs.
After eating the bean worms, we ate the small crabs. The shells of the small crabs were fried until crispy, and even the smallest one, Xiu'er, was easy to bite.
"Big pot...delicious! I've got my revenge!"
With a "crunch crunch" sound, Xiu'er nibbled on the little crab's leg, her eyes narrowed into slits, feeling as if she had caught every single little crab.
Crabs are so delicious, next time we go to catch them, she won't be afraid of being bitten anymore.
The family ate with their mouths full of oil, and Liu Meifen sighed, "Fried food is just so delicious. No wonder Xiaoqing said that even fried cow dung would smell good... It's just that it uses too much oil."
She heated up a small pot of oil, but after frying, only a thin layer of oil remained at the bottom of the pot, which made her feel a pang of heartache.
With so much oil, it would last for months if used for cooking.
After dinner, Chang Kun lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) to check his rewards.
[Ding! 100/100 crabs caught, reward: 3 jin each of wild male and female mitten crabs.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 960 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2450 meters.]
[Ding! 100/100 bean worms captured, reward: 5 catties of fermented bean curd.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 980 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2500 meters.]
Chang Kun's eyes lit up. Hairy crabs, not bad!
It's wild, not the kind of "bathing crab" from later generations. It's a system reward, so it must be full of roe and fat. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
As for fermented bean curd? Looking at the bright red fermented bean curd in the space, Chang Kun couldn't help but recall his past life when he was all alone and didn't want to cook, so he ate fermented bean curd with his rice.
The scene of being dominated by fermented bean curd for half a month made him shudder.
He was so sick of it in his past life that he doesn't want to touch it again...
