Chapter 87 Neighbors
After the water in the hot pot boils, Ye Qian cooks the meat in it first. The soup in the hot pot is full of meat flavor, and then adding some vegetables will make it more delicious.
But put the vegetables aside for now, and fill your stomach with meat first.
Pork, beef, and mutton are all available in Ye Qian's space. When I asked the chef to cut them into small pieces before, I naturally also asked the chef to cut some slices for the convenience of making hot pot.
Ye Qian also felt a little full after eating two plates, and put some prawns in it.
Ye Qian has not eaten seafood since she came here, and she only stopped after eating two plates.
Finally, I put some sweet potato flour in the hot pot and stopped after eating. The vegetables that Ye Qian took out were not eaten in one bite, but were put into the space again. Let's eat them next time.
After eating, Ye Qian lay on the sofa at home for a while and drank a cup of tea. She felt very comfortable. It would be better if she didn't have to wash the dishes later.
Ye Qian finished the tea in her hand and went to wash the dishes. Ye Qian took out the oil from the hot pot and wrapped it in a newspaper. She poured the base into the toilet and went to wash the dishes.
After doing this, it was completely dark, so Ye Qian went directly to the second floor to rest.
On the first day she spent the night at her own home, Ye Qian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but when she thought that this place would be her home and she would live there for decades, she felt much more at ease.
At midnight.
At this time, Ye Qian was lying down sweating profusely, as if she were in a dormitory. Ye Qian felt that she was so stupid. She was alone at home and didn't know how to take out the fan.
Naturally, there are fans in Ye Qian's space, the ones with remote controls. Those fans consume a lot of power, and I don't know if the circuit can withstand it. If there is any problem, it will be troublesome if you don't know how to fix it yourself.
When she was in the dormitory, Ye Qian searched for a long time in the space before she found a very small, mini electric fan. This was specially bought by Ye Qian in her later years to be placed on her desk to fan her face. As you can imagine,
Do you know how small it is?
But something is better than nothing. Ye Qian took out the fan and put it on the g head, and turned on the fan facing herself. This power consumption is not large, and it will be fine if it is blown all night, and it will not affect the circuit.
Although it is not very useful, it is better than nothing.
Ye Qian fell asleep again not long after.
When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.
There was a neighbor living across from Ye Qian. Ye Qian thought for several days whether she should go say hello and establish a good relationship with her neighbor. People said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so Ye Qian decided to go and say hello.
Since you can't go to someone's house empty-handed, the most valuable thing nowadays is food.
Ye Qian planned to make some white-flour steamed buns by herself and then visit the other side. Suddenly, there were naturally some, but not many. There was always something to do, so just make more at a time.
Ye Qian took out the flour, kneaded it with yeast and white grain, and then let it rise for half an hour. Now it is hot and there is no need to put hot water in it. If it is winter, you will have to put a cup of hot water in it so that it will rise.
Good.
After half an hour, the dough will have doubled in size, then spread some flour on the cutting board, take out the kneaded dough and place it on the cutting board and start kneading the dough.
After kneading out all the space in the dough, cut it into small pieces, and then roll it into a round shape. Let it rest for one hour and then steam it with boiling water for one hour. Do not open the pot in the middle, otherwise it will be cooked.
Yes, don't ask why Ye Qian knew.
The steamed buns were ready, but Ye Qian didn't plan to give them all white-noodle steamed buns. What if the other party thought she was rich? She had to be on guard against others, so Ye Qian took out the Sanhe noodle steamed buns she had packed in a state-owned hotel before.
Just like that, 2 white flour steamed buns, 2 brown sugar buns, and 3 Sanhe steamed buns, Ye Qian took the plate and went to the house opposite.
"Dong...dong..."
Ye Qian knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone here? Hello, is there anyone? I'm the neighbor across the street."
Gu Jinyan had already come out when he knocked on the door. When he heard Ye Qian's voice and hesitated whether to open the door, Ye Qian started knocking again.
"Dong...dong..."
Seeing that no one opened the door, Ye Qian wanted to try again: "Is anyone there? I'm the neighbor across the street."
Gu Jinyan opened the door this time. Gu Jinyan didn't know it. The first time Ye Qian knocked on the door, he hesitated, thinking that Ye Qian would leave. The second time when Ye Qian knocked on the door again, he couldn't help it.
The door was opened immediately.
Ye Qian saw that she had opened her mouth and was about to speak when she saw Gu Jinyan's face.
Ye Qian was a little dumbfounded. She turned around to look at her courtyard door, then turned around and looked at the door on Gu Jinyan's side, looking back and forth several times.
Gu Jinyan wanted to laugh when he saw Ye Qian like this: "It's me. I live across the street. What can you do?"
Ye Qian felt strange: "Why do you live across from me? You didn't live here last time."
Gu Jinyan smiled and said, "I have a lot of houses, but what do you want from me?"
Ye Qian was speechless: "You are really rich and willful. You can live wherever you want."
Ye Qian lowered her head and glanced at the steamed bun in her hand, and said to Gu Jinyan: "I just made this. I originally wanted to send it to my neighbor, but I didn't expect it to be you. Now, give it to you."
Gu Jinyan heard that Ye Qian made it herself. He remembered Ye Qian's cooking skills last time and thought that the steamed buns would be delicious. He took the steamed buns and said: "Thank you, I will give you this plate later."
Send it over."
Ye Qian really wanted to say that he wanted to take the plate back, but he could just deliver it later, so she said hello to Gu Jin and went home.
After Ye Qian left, Gu Jinyan also returned to his home and touched the steamed buns that Ye Qian had sent. They were still warm.
I picked up a white flour steamed bun and ate it. This steamed bun was filled with a hint of sweetness. Is there sugar added in it?
The steamed buns were not small, but Gu Jinyan didn't eat in the morning or lunch, so he finished one steamed bun in just a few bites.
Gu Jinyan took a bun and broke it open. Gu Jinyan smelled the aroma of brown sugar and wondered, brown sugar and white sugar are scarce supplies. Now that they are gone on the black market, where did she get them?
Gu Jinyan finished eating the brown sugar buns and picked up the Sanhe noodle steamed buns. This one was quite satisfactory, not as delicious as the white flour steamed buns and brown sugar buns.
Ye Qian didn't know what Gu Jinyan was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely say that she really knows how to eat. The food of later generations is of course made more finely and therefore tastes better. The food of this era is all for filling the stomach. How can one be so particular about it?
So meticulously done.
Gu Jinyan didn't eat the Sanhe Noodles Steamed Buns, but finished the other White Noodles Steamed Buns and Brown Sugar Buns.
I planned to send it over right away, but then I thought about it. Ye Qian usually stayed until the evening to eat before leaving. If she returned the plate at this time, would she still be able to enjoy a meal? Gu Jinyan ordered one for her wit.
Thumbs up.
After Ye Qian returned to her home, she was still wondering what Gu Jinyan meant. Could it be..., Ye Qian quickly gave up her thoughts.
