BXBX NOVEL Chapter 184 - 184
Li Dabao and Wei Shaohui informed everyone else one by one about Chu Molin’s orders and then plopped down on the ground.
It was so damn tiring, even more so than during training.
“Dabao, do you think the deputy director will come here in person later?” Wei Shaohui looked around and asked Li Dabao.
“He definitely will, and he’ll check everything himself!” Li Dabao knew Chu Molin well!
“You’re right, the deputy director will definitely come and check himself! ” How could Wei Shaohui forget that Chu Molin was a terrifying Cold King to others?
“Hmm, let’s just rest here and wait for the deputy director to come!” Li Dabao suggested!
“Alright, let’s wait here for the deputy director.” Wei Shaohui agreed with Li Dabao’s suggestion!
On this side, people were nervously arranging and inspecting weapons.
On the other hand, Qin Xue had a dreamless night until dawn.
Fang Hong got up very early in the morning, planning to wash up and make some buns. The dough had already been prepared last night after dinner.
Old dough takes a long time to rise, so it’s fine if left overnight.
As Fang Hong continued kneading the dough, the others gradually got up as
well.
Qin Xue wanted to eat scallion pancakes, so she took some dough and chopped green onions from Fang Hong and started kneading it herself.
Fang Hong rolled the dough into small portions, cut them into the shape of steamed buns, and steamed them.
After putting the buns in the steamer, she started to rinse rice for porridge.
Meanwhile, Qin Xue proceeded to make scallion pancakes
Fang Xiu was busy dressing Jingtao, washing his face, and breastfeeding him. Jingtao was not yet weaned and still needed breastmilk every morning.
Yu Xiu was picking vegetables with a basin at the door, although there really wasn’t much left from last night, just a bit of celery.
Yu Xiu thought the celery leaf soup made last night tasted quite good.
So this morning, she picked the celery leaves and saved them to make soup later.
After picking the celery leaves, Yu Xiu washed the remaining stalks to be fried with the steamed buns later on.
Qin Xue kneaded the pancake dough into small balls of equal size, and then used a rolling pin to flatten them into thin pancakes.
When all the dough balls were rolled into thin pancakes, Qin Xue finally washed the pan and heated up oil to fry the pancakes.
As the oil heated up, Qin Xue placed the rolled pancakes one by one into the pan to fry.
Not until they were golden brown on both sides did Qin Xue remove the pancakes from the pan and put them in a basin.
The delicious smell filled the kitchen as she repeated this a few times until all the scallion pancakes were fried.
Actually, there weren’t that many pancakes; the pan was small, so she could only fry a few at a time.
Qin Xue saw the washed celery leaves and thought about how adding them to the porridge would make it fragrant. So she grabbed a handful and put it into the already-cooked porridge, stirring it with a spoon. The aroma of celery emerged instantly.
Qin Xue also added a bit of salt to enhance the flavor, otherwise, the bland buns and porridge wouldn’t taste very good.
Yu Xiu originally wanted to make soup with the celery leaves, but seeing Qin Xue putting them into the porridge, she decided to save the rest for noon.
Many hands make light work, so in just a short time, these few people had the simple and fragrant breakfast ready.
Looking at this simple yet mouthwatering breakfast, the gluttons in their stomachs were tempted.
After the breakfast was placed on the table, little Jingtao was attracted by the delicious smell.
His mouth was constantly making noises. Qin Xue saw this, fetched a bowl, scooped half a bowl of porridge, and let it cool down to feed him later.
Everyone had a bowl of celery leaf porridge in front of them and a scallion pancake in their hands.
Biting down, the fragrant scallion pancake enticed their taste buds.
Seeing that there was none for him, little Jingtao tried to reach out and grab some. Qin Xue thought for a moment, tore off a piece of steamed bun, and gave it to him to chew on.
From time to time, she also fed him a little porridge!
Fang Hong saw that Qin Xue was taking care of Jingtao and didn’t bother to help, focusing on her own breakfast instead!
“Qin Xue, these scallion pancakes are so delicious. How did you make them?” Fang Xiu, the food lover, ate with a satisfied expression on her face!
“l just knead the dough, then roll it out into pancakes and fry them!” Qin Xue thought that they liked it because they didn’t eat it often!
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have the conditions to eat scallion pancakes! It was already good enough to have something to eat.
That’s why Qin Xue could understand Fang Xiu’s feelings when she said it was delicious!
Fang Hong and Yu Xiu had both eaten at Qin Xue’s house before and knew her cooking was delicious, but they never expected her scallion pancakes to be so tasty as well!
Having a bite of scallion pancake and then sipping the porridge, the celery leaf porridge was refreshing and not greasy at all, and they were more than satisfied with their breakfast!
