Chapter 235 Eight-treasure rice(1/2)
When Jiang Qi led Feng Guihua upstairs, they were cooking.
Huang Fugui was making sticky rice, Old John was watching a video tutorial while staring at the chicken wings in the oven, Wang Erya was kneading the dough, and Wang Xinghua was cutting cucumbers.
It was Huang Fugui who suggested that everyone cook together. He felt that this was the first New Year for everyone to spend together, and everyone should show off their special skills to make a special dish to add to the celebration.
Then the scene that Jiang Qi and Feng Guihua saw when they entered the door appeared.
As soon as the new colleague arrived, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to express their welcome.
Huang Fugui pulled Feng Guihua into the room to see the floor they had just laid.
It is said to be a floor bunk, but it is actually quite thickly padded. There is a mat at the bottom, two layers of mats on top of the mat, two large thick quilts on top of the mats, and then there are sheets, quilts and pillows.
Needless to say about the room itself, with Wang Erya, a cleaning expert, there is no chance of any dust in the house.
Bunny was lying on the pillow, quietly emitting the scent of lavender to freshen the air.
Feng Guihua expressed satisfaction with her living environment in the next few days. In fact, she didn't need to sleep. It didn't matter whether she had a bed or not. Having a bunk on the floor would make her feel more at ease.
On the way here, Jiang Qi also asked Feng Guihua for her opinion, asking her if she wanted to live with her former colleagues or rent an extra single room for her.
Feng Guihua is the fourth character card drawn by Jiang Qi. Old John will definitely rise to a star this year. If the Huang Fugui card has two stars and three stars, it will occupy a card slot. After Old John rises to a star, Jiang Qi will most likely draw another one.
With a character card, there will definitely not be enough room upstairs, and it will be necessary to rent another house for the card character.
Jiang Qi could have rented a new house to Feng Guihua from the beginning. After all, he gave Feng Guihua the identity of a cleaning lady who lives nearby. It would be inappropriate for Feng Guihua to live with Huang Fugui and others.
Feng Guihua has no objection to living in a single room by herself instead of living with her colleagues. She is a modern person herself and can seamlessly connect to modern life without needing to adapt.
Jiang Qi plans to find time tomorrow to go to an agency near the community and ask if there are any one-bedroom apartments for rent in the community. Normally, it is impossible to rent a well-decorated and cheap four-bedroom and two-living house like Cao Yongjun's house. Fortunately,
Feng Guihua's requirements for housing are not high, just a normal house.
If there is one in the community, rent one in the community. If there is no store in the community, rent one nearby.
In the room, Huang Fugui conducted induction training for new colleagues who were about to join the company.
Outside the room, Lili and the Toy Spirits, who had occupied the sofa and coffee table, warmly invited Jiang Qi to watch TV with them.
"Mr. Boss, do you want to watch TV with us? This TV series is really good!" Ji Qi sent an invitation to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi took a look and saw Garden Baby being played on TV.
Lili was still cheering and shouting: "Makabaka!"
Jiang Qi:……
Okay, this can barely be regarded as a TV series. After all, these garden babies are played by real people wearing leather suits.
This kind of TV series may be a bit naive for people of Jiang Qi's age, but it is just right for Lili and the Toy Spirits.
"After watching Garden Babies, you can watch Teletubbies again." Jiang Qi recommended his childhood favorites to the toy spirits, "Then there are also cartoons such as Peppa Pig and Spongebob Squarepants. During the New Year,
If nothing happens during the day, you all have to stay upstairs and watch whatever you want."
"Okay, Mr. Boss!" Elk stood up and nodded to Jiang Qi, then lay down again and continued watching TV.
"Banban, Happy New Year!" Lili didn't forget to wish Jiang Qi a happy New Year while watching TV. After wishing her, she continued watching TV.
"Happy New Year, Banban will send you a red envelope tomorrow." Jiang Qi said with a smile.
"Thank you Banban!"
Jiang Qi looked at the time, and it was four-thirty. He had just taken Feng Guihua to the supermarket to buy things. It didn't take long. It would take almost 20 minutes to walk back from here. He would go back before five o'clock, so he wouldn't delay things.
Just when Jiang Qi was about to say that he would go back first, Wang Xinghua, who was cutting tomatoes in the kitchen, floated out with a knife, floated to the door of Feng Guihua's room and asked: "Uncle Huang, are you still cooking your eight-treasure rice? If not, I will help."
You put the ingredients aside first, I'm going to start cooking my dishes."
"It's done." Huang Fugui hurriedly ran out, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't remind me. This glutinous rice has just been steamed and I haven't mixed it with lard yet."
When Feng Guihua heard that Huang Fugui was making eight-treasure rice, she followed her out. When she saw the ingredients prepared by Huang Fugui, her eyes lit up and she looked eager to try it.
"Can you let me cook this rice pudding? My family loves the rice pudding I cook most. Every New Year's Eve dinner is indispensable without my rice pudding. I not only cooked it for my family when I was alive, but also during the New Year's Eve the year I just died.
I also cooked eight-treasure rice for my family."
Everyone except Jiang Qi:?
Wang Erya asked blankly: "Grandma Guihua, are you a half-ghost king like Sister Xinghua?"
"What is a half-ghost king?" Feng Guihua was confused.
"It's not important." Jiang Qi quickly came out to smooth things over, "You each belong to different worlds, and your cultivation systems and methods of becoming ghosts may also be different. Don't worry about these small details."
"Grandma Feng, will it take you long to make the eight-treasure rice now?"
There is a saying that Jiang Qi wants to eat the eight-treasure rice cooked by Feng Guihua.
Everyone can see how useful the skills of these card characters are.
Huang Fugui's skill is green vegetable noodles. With the blessing of skills and the aura of the God of Cooking, his green vegetable noodles are the same as luminous cuisine, and are basically on the same level as the golden, god-level egg fried rice.
Although Feng Guihua's rice-treasure rice skill description says that her rice-treasure rice may not be the most delicious, it also says that it has the most homely and New Year flavor.
What day is today?
New Year's Eve!
What are you going to have for dinner tonight?
New Year's Eve dinner?
I would like to ask, among the 365 days in a year, is there any more suitable day than today to eat the eight-treasure rice made by Feng Guihua?
If you don’t eat it today, you’ll have to wait another year!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Feng Guihua looked at the materials prepared by Huang Fugui and said: "Twenty minutes plus steaming time."
"If I don't eat it after steaming it, but take it to my uncle's house to eat, will it affect the taste?"
"It doesn't affect it, it doesn't affect it." Feng Guihua said with a smile, "If it gets cold on the road, just put it on the pot and steam it for two minutes. As long as it doesn't stay overnight, it won't affect the taste."
"Xiao Huang, do you mind if I just use the materials you prepared?" The previous inquiry was taken astray, so Feng Guihua asked again.
"You don't mind, you don't mind, Aunt Feng, you can use it as you like." Huang Fugui said cheerfully, "Actually, I also learned how to do it by following the online teaching videos. I have never done it before and this is my first time doing it today. Since you have experience and are good at it,
I was watching from the side and just learned from it."
"Okay." Feng Guihua washed her hands and started making rice with eight treasures.
The ingredients prepared by Huang Fugui were mainly preserved fruits. There were not many dried fruits and only some soaked red dates. Feng Guihua considered that Jiang Qi was going to take it away for a large family to eat, so she simply used a large noodle bowl.
Make a big version of a bowl of eight-treasure rice.
While doing it, Feng Guihua kept talking.
"Although there are no specific rules on what should be put on top of this eight-treasure rice, just put whatever is available. It is mainly for auspiciousness. But if you put too much of this kind of candied fruit, it will still be greasy. Adding some dried fruits will not only look good but also increase the color.
It also adds flavor.”
"You can prepare more red dates, keep a few whole ones and cut them in half for garnishing, and grind the rest into puree and spread it for seasoning."
"Then you can't put too much sugar in this filling. You can mix some honey. I heard others say you can put maple sugar in it before, but I always thought the taste was a bit weird. I like to add dried osmanthus, so that the bean paste filling tastes like osmanthus.
Everyone also likes to eat it.”
Feng Guihua obviously has a lot of experience in making eight-treasure rice, and she talks clearly and logically.
Wang Xinghua was chopping vegetables at the side, but she stopped cutting vegetables as she listened, and asked with a longing look on her face: "Grandma Feng, what did the rice pudding taste like when it was steamed back then?"
"What does it taste like?" This question really stumped Feng Guihua. She has been making rice pudding for so many years, and this is the first time someone asked her what rice pudding tastes like.
In her opinion, rice pudding is the taste of rice pudding.
"Sweet it," Feng Guihua said, "I'll make you a bowl and you'll know after you eat it."
"Okay, okay!"
20 minutes later, Jiang Qi left with a bowl full of fragrant eight-treasure rice, covered with a rag.
At 5:27, Jiang Qi knocked on Jiang Xiaokang’s door.
"Come, come, is it Brother Jiang Qi?" Jiang Wanwan quickly ran to open the door for Jiang Qi, "Brother Jiang Qi, why have you been out for so long? Just now my mother asked me to call you to ask when you will be back, Guazi.
Did you buy it? Did you buy the drink?"
"I bought it, I bought it all." Jiang Qi pointed to his feet. He had something in both hands and couldn't knock on the door. He just put down the bag and knocked on the door.
"Help me get it." Jiang Qi handed the eight-treasure rice to Jiang Wanwan and went in with the bag to change his shoes.
"What is this?" Jiang Wanwan stared at the eight-treasure rice in the noodle bowl. This bowl of eight-treasure rice had to be placed upside down on the plate to tell that it was eight-treasure rice. Now when it is turned upside down, it looks like a bowl of white rice. "Brother Jiang Qi, you
Why are you bringing a bowl of rice back? Will the supermarket deliver food today?"
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Qi was also convinced by Jiang Wanwan's thinking, "This is eight-treasure rice, just steamed. It's just that it's cold outside, and the rice was cold when I walked back. Don't mention it when it was freshly steamed.
It’s so fragrant, I almost couldn’t help but take a bite.”
Hearing that Jiang Qi had brought back the freshly steamed eight-treasure rice, Jiang Bing and Wen Luo quickly poked their heads out.
Jiang Pei stood up and came over to take a look. Before he saw the rice, he was shocked when he saw the bowl: "Wow, it's such a big bowl. This bowl can be as big as the average 4 or 5 bowls of eight-treasure rice."
"Grandma Feng is enthusiastic. She heard that there are many people in my family having New Year's dinner in the evening, so she insisted on making such a big bowl for me. If I hadn't been unable to hold it, she could have made several bowls for me."
