Chapter 152: Set out to contract the fish pond
The grilled gluten stall had even more customers on the second night than on the first day.
Fortunately, we found someone to help pack in advance, and there were security guards in the square to maintain order. The overall situation was much better than the first day.
As for the rumors on the Internet, not many people knew about them in the first place, so Xia Anan didn't need to make them known to everyone.
Videos of bloggers visiting the snack street were released one after another. Every night there were people coming here to try the food, and the flow of people at the grilled gluten stall gradually stabilized.
After being busy for several days, Xia Anan can finally take two days off.
In the morning, I took Xia Baobao to the nearest park, where many children play every day.
Usually, Xia Anan would bring Xia Baobao here to play for a while, mainly to watch the little guy fight over toys and then cry and make a fuss.
When we were almost done playing, we went to the market. Today’s menu had two more big fish than usual.
When I took the fish out of the pond, it was still alive and kicking.
Xia Anan felt that she could clean up the mess by herself, so she didn't need the stall owner's help.
"Does Bao Bao like to eat fish?"
The little guy nodded, but then he thought of something and whispered, "It has thorns, eat it slowly."
"It's okay, today mom will make a fish without bones!"
On the way home, we passed by the community park. I originally wanted to let Xia Baobao play for a while, but then I thought about the two big fish in my pocket, which would be no longer fresh if they died.
"How about we go out and play at night? Let Lu Qingyuan take you."
Xia Baobao held the little train in his arms and said, "Daddy, take Baobao's train..."
Xia Anan: "...Then I'll tell Lu Qingyuan not to steal your car when I get back."
Ever since Lu Qingyuan started teaching Xia Baobao how to write, there has been a huge gap between the two. The older one thinks the younger one is stupid, and the younger one thinks the older one is impatient.
Xia Anan was afraid that the war would spread to herself, so she could only play the role of a peacemaker.
It is said that professional matters should be done by professionals. If he insists on teaching himself, doesn't that mean he has to bear the consequences himself?
After returning home and cleaning up Xia Baobao, Xia Anan went into the kitchen and started cleaning the two fish.
Remove the scales, gut the fish, and separate the meat from the bones.
Use the back of a knife to scrape off the fish meat bit by bit, then mix the fish paste with starch and steam it in a pot...
"It smells so good..."
After Lu Qingyuan returned home, he followed the smell to the kitchen, but was kicked out before he could enter.
"It's not ready yet, wait a minute."
I bought two big fish, so of course I had to eat fish at noon, but today's fish was a little different from usual.
"what is this?"
Looking at the food on the dining table, Lu Qingyuan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to eat.
Xia Anan: "I won't tell you yet, you guess first."
"I can't guess it. Let me try it..."
Lu Qingyuan picked up a piece and took a bite. It felt a bit like tofu, but with a fresh taste, chewy and quite delicious.
Xia Anan continued to ask: "Just tell me if it tastes good or not?"
"Is that even necessary? When did you become so unconfident about your cooking skills?"
In Xia Anan's expectant eyes, Lu Qingyuan answered honestly: "It's delicious, of course it's delicious!"
"That's great! I'm going to go on a business trip with Bao Bao in the next few days, so I won't cook. You can prepare your own meals during this time."
Lu Qingyuan stopped chewing and said, "Business trip? What are you going to do?"
"Go out and contract a fish pond. Didn't you say this thing is delicious? The next new product is this - fish tofu."
Xia Anan didn't expect that the fish tofu she made for the first time would be so successful. Is this the awakening of her culinary talent?
Fish tofu? Lu Qingyuan looked at the pieces of stuff in the bowl and asked, "You mean, this is made of fish?"
But it doesn't look like it's made of fish. It tastes similar to the fish balls I've eaten before...
Lu Qingyuan tasted another piece and it tasted really good, with a fresh flavor and good texture.
"Where are you going to contract the fish pond? Didn't you ask me to think about it before? Why are you in such a hurry? Have you already found other partners?"
Xia Anan: "You've been thinking for too long, I can't just wait for you."
She picked up a few pieces for Xia Baobao and put them on his small plate.
"Besides, even if you really want to contract a fish pond, you still have to shop around. Just think of it as me taking the little guy out for a play."
Lu Qingyuan put down his chopsticks, with dissatisfaction in his tone, "No, then why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"Ah? Don't you usually have to work?"
Xia Anan blinked, as if she suddenly thought of something, "You don't want to go with us, do you? The little guy and I have already bought the tickets."
Lu Qingyuan: “…”
As expected, I shouldn't have asked this question.
"Who's going with you? Pei Yuanbai?"
Xia Anan nodded: "Yes, and his girlfriend, the four of us are actually in the next city, and we will be back in two or three days."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Xia Anan didn't expect him to agree so easily. She thought the other party would not agree to let her take Xia Baobao out.
Mainly because she was thinking that Xia Baobao would go to school soon and would have less time to go out, and she had some free time now, so she might as well take him out for a walk.
If Xia Anan went out alone, she wouldn't be able to bring much with her, but it would be different if she brought Xia Baobao with her.
All the odds and ends added up to fill up a whole suitcase.
It takes three hours to drive from Beijing to the fish pond they agreed on. Pei Yuanbai and his girlfriend take turns driving. They set off in the morning and arrive in time for lunch.
Lu Qingyuan stood beside the car, his whole body showing worry.
"If you have any problem, be sure to contact me. Don't be impulsive when going out. Take good care of the little one, and take good care of yourself."
Xia Anan lowered the car window and said, "I know. Don't worry."
"Mr. Lu, we'll leave first." Pei Yuanbai started the car after he finished speaking. Even after they were quite far away, he could still see someone's eager eyes in the rearview mirror.
"It seems that Mr. Lu is really worried about letting you go out with the child alone."
Xia Anan nodded, "It's okay, it's not a long trip, we will be back in two days."
In fact, she felt that Lu Qingyuan was worried that she would run away with the little guy, although she did think so...
The phone vibrated twice, and Xia Anan took a look and saw that it was a message from Lu Qingyuan.
It's still a large transfer.
Good man, are you worried that you will run away with Xia Baobao and have no money? The funds are all ready.
Lu Datuo: [If it’s not enough, contact me again. ]
Xia Anan counted the zeros on it. It was enough. How could it be not enough? If she did nothing for the rest of her life, just lying down would be enough.
[Thank you, Mr. Lu. I will definitely not let you down! ]
