Chapter 82 Braised Chicken
"Ranran, there's no formula in this package. Do you have any formula with you?" There was nothing in the package except for the diapers that hadn't been washed yet.
Xiao Ran didn't even look for it, and shook his head directly: "No, it's all gone."
Zhou Chuan sighed, "No, no. I made porridge this morning. I'll give my sister a bowl later. If you don't have enough, I'll make some crispy rice crust."
She asked Xiao Ran to watch over her younger sister while she went upstairs to find clean clothes for the child. The little girl didn't smell much, but she still had a slight odor. The dirty clothes and diapers were soaked separately, and she could wash them after dinner.
"Why do I feel like you and your sister aren't close at all?" Zhou Chuan asked Xiao Ran, who was silently drinking her porridge, while feeding the little girl. "I think your sister is quite well-behaved and pretty. Look how big her eyes are."
Xiao Ran glanced up at the little girl in Zhou Chuan's arms, then buried his head in his porridge again.
Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't speak, Zhou Chuan didn't ask any more questions. Perhaps they weren't familiar with each other yet, and things would get better with time. She teased the little girl, "Your name is Xiao Mianmian? Is it Xiao Mianmian?" She remembered that was what her older sister called her. She asked Xiao Ran again and found out that the little girl's name was Xiao Mianmian. "Xiao Mianmian, how about Auntie makes you some steamed egg custard for lunch?"
Xiao Ran, who was drinking porridge, immediately looked up and said, "I want to eat steamed egg custard too! I want steamed egg custard with two eggs!"
Zhou Chuan glanced at him: "Chicken or steamed egg custard? You can only choose one?"
Xiao Ran then grinned and said, "Chicken dinner!"
Zhou Chuan shook his head, "Look at you, so pathetic!"
With the addition of a little baby, aside from washing more diapers and preparing extra food for her, not much has changed. The little girl is very well-behaved. When the weather gets hot, I lay a thick straw mat on the living room floor, and she can stay quietly for an entire afternoon, which is very reassuring.
When stewing chicken, Zhou Chuan would also tear off some chicken breast meat, chop it up, and cook it into porridge for her. Or he would cook egg custard for her and make her egg drop soup every day. With delicious food in front of her, even a baby knows that milk is the mother's milk, and she becomes extremely attached to her.
Of course, Xiao Ran's share was also included. Having tasted the delicious steamed egg custard, he insisted on having some. Zhou Chuan thought that there were too many eggs to store, so she simply ate them all and that was it. So she ate some too.
During this time, she also cleared out the land in the yard. It was such a small plot of land, but she finished it in half a day by turning the soil and watering it. She sowed some rapeseed seeds and also cultivated some cucumber and pepper seedlings.
To commemorate the completion of the vegetable garden, she killed the last chicken. With this chicken killed, the Xiao family only had three hens left that could lay eggs.
Zhou Chuan was plucking chicken feathers, and the two children gathered around to watch: "Today, we're not going to stew this chicken. We'll braise it instead. Ranran is probably tired of eating stewed chicken all the time. Auntie will make something different this time."
Xiao Ran wanted to shake his head and say he wasn't tired of it, but then he thought about the possibility of eating it differently, so he stopped shaking his head and instead looked forward to it with great joy.
After killing seven chickens in a row, Zhou Chuan was now plucking chicken feathers at a very fast speed. While her hands were busy, she was thinking about the seasonings she would need for braised chicken: "Ranran, go and bring out all the bottles and jars you've hidden. Auntie will see if we need anything else. If we don't have any, we'll have to go to the convenience store to buy them. Hurry up."
Xiao Ran ran off to move things. In no time, Zhou Chuan saw several bottles and two or three jars on the ground. She asked Xiao Ran to open them one by one for her to smell. After looking at them, she found that many of them were unusable. One of the jars contained lard, but the lard didn't seem to have come from when. The smell was off, so it was definitely spoiled.
Zhou Chuan asked his child to go to the convenience store to buy some soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. As for spices, forget about them. There was no ginger or garlic either. Since there was no oil at home, he used chicken fat from the hen to make oil. Since there was no cooking wine, he added a little vinegar to remove the fishy smell. If you want to eat something good, you can always find a way.
After a busy morning, the fragrant braised chicken was ready. To take care of the little girl, Zhou Chuan still chopped a few pieces of chicken breast into small pieces and stewed them in the porridge until they were very tender.
Zhou Chuan had to feed the little girl, so he let Xiao Ran eat first. He ate very slowly, probably because he was waiting for her.
"Auntie, braised chicken is still the best."
"Once this storm passes, Auntie will buy you a chicken, a big one. This chicken is too small, not even enough to fill our teeth. Next time, next time Auntie will definitely get you a big rooster weighing five or six pounds..." After saying that, Zhou Chuan regretted it a little. She was about to leave, how could she make such a wish so casually?
Of course, we really can't keep eating chicken like this; if we do, it will probably cause public outrage.
Xiao Ran ate with grease dripping from his mouth, imagining the five or six-pound rooster Zhou Chuan had mentioned. He was already looking forward to it. His aunt said she would make it for him, and she definitely would. His aunt was so kind.
Zhou Chuan felt embarrassed by the stares: "Alright, alright, what are you looking like? Hurry up and eat. The braised chicken smells so good, be careful someone comes and steals your chicken." Turning her head to look at the little girl next to her who was drooling, she scooped some soup for her to drink with a spoon, "Look how greedy you are, let you have some soup to taste."
Xiao Ran saw that Zhou Chuan was about to feed his sister: "Auntie, she has already eaten, you should eat."
Seeing the little girl happily smacking her lips, Zhou Chuan finally started eating. He had just taken a bite when he saw a piece of chicken leg meat in his bowl: "Eat yours, do I, an auntie, need you to take care of me?"
They were enjoying their meal so much that they didn't notice someone coming in. It wasn't that they weren't vigilant enough; it was just that the Xiao family rarely had visitors, especially after their argument with Political Commissar Ma, which made them even less likely to come.
"What are you eating? It smells delicious!"
