I trade in both worlds

"Yes." Xu Ziqing nodded: "I will eat it."

Xu Xu couldn't help laughing. "Everyone knows how to eat. Let me cook dinner tonight."

Xu Xu no longer remembers how old she was when she first cooked, nor can she recall when she started learning to cook. It seemed as if she just learned it naturally and did it naturally.

Arriving at the main house, Xu Ziqing first turned on the TV and settled the children. Then he went back to the room to take down the tablet and began searching for potato recipes.

After handing the tablet to Xu Xu, he pointed to the menu on the screen and said, "Look, these are all potato recipes. Take a look first. We'll choose a few for dinner tonight. Just order the recipe you want to see, and then a video will appear."

Xu Xu followed Xu Ziqing's instructions and read through the recipes one by one. Finally, he decided to have potato pancakes and baked potatoes as the main course for dinner, and also stir-fry some spicy and sour potato shreds, some three fresh vegetables, and some potatoes stewed with braised pork.

After deciding on the menu, Xu Xu continued watching the video while Xu Ziqing placed an order for groceries on the grocery shopping app.

Xu Ziqi quit the game and checked the time. It was already 16:17 and Xu Ziqing had not returned yet, so he picked up his phone to contact Xu Ziqing.

The ringing of the video call on the mobile phone attracted everyone's attention. Xu Ziqing raised the phone and said, "Xu Xu, my brother is looking for me. I'll go upstairs to answer the phone."

"Okay." Although he was curious about how to answer the phone, Xu Xu did not take the initiative to move forward to take a look.

Xu Ziqing ran upstairs quickly and just as he got through to Xu Ziqi's video call, he heard him complaining, "What are you doing? It took a long time to answer the phone."

"Just downstairs." Xu Ziqing was considering whether to tell him about today's adventure.

Watching Xu Ziqing walk into the room, Xu Ziqi asked in surprise: "You're not coming back today? Aren't you afraid at night?"

Xu Ziqing shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid. I know where the noise last night came from, so I'm not afraid."

"Where did the voice come from?" Xu Ziqi asked curiously. His sister had a mild social anxiety disorder and had never taken the initiative to talk to others since she was a child. How could she have become familiar with all the neighbors in less than a day?

Why is he so unconvinced? He doesn’t even know his parents. His grandfather grew up here, but because he went out to work when he was a teenager, he is not very familiar with the people in the village, especially those of his generation. Even his grandfather doesn’t know him.

"Hmm..." Xu Ziqing was still struggling over whether to say it.

Her hesitation made Xu Ziqi even more curious: "Why? Can't you tell me?"

Xu Ziqing looked as if he was about to say something but stopped himself: "It's not that I can't tell you, it's that I don't know how to tell you. Even if I tell you, you won't believe it."

"Hey..." Seeing her tangled expression, Xu Ziqi wanted to know more: "You didn't tell me, how do you know I won't believe it? Tell me quickly, don't arouse my curiosity and then disturb my sleep at night without answering my questions."

Xu Ziqing thought about it, and finally decided not to say anything: "How about waiting until you come back from vacation? I'll prepare a set of clothes for you first, and then you can see for yourself."

"Is there anything that requires me to prepare clothes before I can see it?"

"Oh, I told you that you'll know when you get here." Xu Ziqing, who didn't know how to explain, began to get impatient.

Seeing that she was getting anxious, Xu Ziqi said unhappily, "Alright, alright, stop asking, okay? Really, I hate people like you the most, you only tell half the story."

Xu Ziqing glared at him with bulging eyes: "Just tell me when you're going to take a break."

"The day after tomorrow." Xu Ziqing said.

Xu Ziqing asked: "Well, how about you come back the day after tomorrow? Then I'll take you to see the world."

If it requires sacrificing sleep and gaming time, Xu Ziqi isn't really curious anymore. It's just gossip about the same people over and over again, and he really can't get interested.

After calculating the time it would take to drive back, Xu Ziqi said firmly, "For the safety of myself and others, as a doctor, I should set an example and refuse to drive while tired."

"You will regret it if you don't come." Xu Ziqing said angrily.

"I just know that I will regret it if I go." Xu Ziqi looked at the time and saw that it was not far from work time. He asked again, "Are you coming back today?"

"No." Xu Ziqing said affirmatively.

"Okay, I'll hang up first. I have to go to work soon." Xu Ziqi felt that instead of discussing whether to go back or not, it would be better to play a few more games while there was still time.

Xu Ziqing rolled her eyes angrily as she looked at the disconnected WeChat call. She decided to wait for him to get off work the next day and then send him a video of herself traveling through time to see if he would come over.

Xu Xu saw Xu Ziqing coming back and asked, "Sister Qing, when will the vegetables you bought arrive?"

I opened the app and saw that the courier had already arrived at the street in front. I handed the phone over and said, "Look, this little man here is where the courier is. My house is at this little dot. He will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a call from the courier. Xu Ziqing went out to collect the vegetables and went to the kitchen with Xu Xu to prepare dinner.

Xu Ziqing took out a peeler from the cupboard and taught Xu Xu how to use it. Soon, all the vegetables had been washed and cut. Xu Xu prepared to make potatoes and braised pork first.

Wash the pot clean, put the cut pork belly into the pot, add some cooking wine and scallion and ginger and blanch them together. After the water boils, pour it into a filter bowl and rinse it clean.

Xu Ziqing took out a roll of kitchen paper from the cupboard and handed it to Xu Xu: "Use this to absorb the moisture, otherwise it will explode with oil later."

Xu Xu took the paper towel and looked at it. After absorbing the moisture from the pork belly, he put oil in the pot and then poured in 2 tablespoons of rock sugar and let it melt slowly over low heat.

When the sugar changes color and bubbles appear, quickly put the meat in and stir-fry continuously until all the oil comes out. Add water, a little soy sauce and oyster sauce. After boiling, transfer to a casserole, add potatoes and spices and simmer on low heat.

After the braised pork was stewed in the pot, Xu Xu prepared to fry potato pancakes. She took a soup bowl, poured the shredded potatoes for the pancakes into the bowl, added some salt and five-spice powder and mixed well, then beat in two eggs, added flour, and stirred until it became a thick state.

After getting ready, I asked Xu Ziqing: "Sister Qing, do you use a pan to make pancakes?"

"No need." Xu Ziqing took out the electric baking pan and said, "Use this one."

After Xu Ziqing taught Xu Xu how to use it, Xu Xu picked up the oil sprayer and gently sprayed the pot twice, saying in amazement: "These things are really easy to use."

Xu Xu scooped the batter into the pan and flattened it with a spatula. Seeing that there was enough space in the electric baking pan for frying two, he decided to fry three at a time. He could take the potato pancakes out of the pan when both sides were golden brown.

The aroma of meat in the casserole and the aroma of pancakes in the electric baking pan made Xu Ziqing's mouth secrete faster.
