Chapter 474 It's actually true
"Hurry, hurry, sit down, eat whatever you want, you're welcome."
Xia Anan invited Kang Kang and his family to sit down, and gave Kang Kang the same high chair as Bao Bao so that he could see the food on the table.
She first put the freshly-cooked fish onto plates for the three children.
This fish dish is mandarin fish, which has tender meat and relatively few bones, and is served with a slightly sweet and sour sauce.
Children like to eat meat, and this tender meat paired with sweet and sour sauce can easily capture the hearts of children.
A big piece of fish dipped in sauce and paired with a big piece of rice is so delicious.
Kang Kang's mother, Tan Mengying, picked up a piece of braised pork that was closest to her.
Fat but not greasy, it melts in your mouth.
When making this dish, the aunt added some fermented bean curd into it, which made it taste like fermented bean curd meat, and to some extent reduced the greasy taste brought by the fat.
The lean meat is not dry at all and is full of flavor.
"Bao Bao mom, now I finally understand why you can open a snack stand. The food on your snack street looks delicious. The food cooked by my aunt at home tastes so good too."
"Look at this brat. He's much more active than when he was eating at our house."
Kang Kang, who had not been eating well in Tan Mengying's mouth just now, now held his bowl and ate the food in big mouthfuls.
The meals prepared by the aunt today were all light in flavor, the type that children would like to eat, and they especially appealed to the taste buds of Kang Kang and the other two children.
Plus, with friends standing by to compare, they rushed to eat, each one more delicious than the other.
"Don't be in a hurry. Don't eat so fast. Chew slowly."
Xia Anan felt that Xia Baobao usually didn't eat so fast. It seemed that someone was comparing with him today, and it was obvious what he wanted to show off.
If he had not been told before that one is not allowed to smack his lips while eating, he would have wanted to eat more deliciously than anyone else.
Xia Anan reminded him several times, but the effect was not very good. So she ate a little faster today and she didn't care.
Lu Qingyuan served soup to the three children in small bowls.
What I made today is lotus root fish ball soup.
There are fish balls, lotus roots, and meatballs made by Auntie herself.
The round balls floating on the soup bowl look very cute.
Of course it tastes great too.
Each fish ball has the sweetness of fish meat, and is smooth and chewy.
Auntie added some water chestnuts to the meatballs she made, which enhanced the taste of the meatballs.
"An An, how do you make these meatballs? I've never eaten such delicious meatballs anywhere else before."
Xia Anan explained: "This is made in our snack street factory. It tastes great when cooked in soup or grilled. I think there should be some left at home. I'll ask Auntie to pack some for you later."
"Did your factory make it yourself?" Tan Mengying was even more surprised now.
When she saw this snack street just now, she thought it just sold some ordinary food, but she didn't expect that even fish balls of this flavor require a special factory. No wonder she had never seen it in the market before.
So Xia Anan told her some things that happened in Hai City.
After hearing this, Tan Mengying sighed and said, "Now that you mention it, this little girl is quite amazing. She can pass on the craftsmanship of her own fish ball shop."
Of course, what’s even more amazing is Xia Anan, who actually found such delicious fish balls and built a factory.
After eating a bowl of rice at Xia Anan's place, Tan Mengying now began to doubt her aunt's cooking skills.
Why is Xia Anan’s home cooking so delicious?
The boy in her family is already eating his second bowl of rice. At home, he won't eat a second bite even if he is chased. He just eats snacks when he has time.
It's not like here, eating rice and vegetables one mouthful after another, as if I haven't eaten for 800 years...
Tan Mengying felt that she couldn't say that to Kang Kang, after all, she was about to get a second bowl of fish ball soup.
This soup is delicious no matter how you drink it, with the sweetness of the lotus root and the deliciousness of the fish balls, it makes it even more delicious.
Even if she drinks it every day, she still can't drink enough.
Just now, I was thinking of poaching Xia Anan's aunt, but now I want to poach Xia Anan.
They look like ordinary ingredients, how come the food they make is so delicious?
After eating two bowls of lotus root and fish ball soup, Tan Mengying burped with satisfaction.
She couldn’t eat any more. She used to only eat until she was 70% full, but today’s food was delicious and she ate so much without realizing it.
Then she looked at her husband Kang Jian, who was eating even better than Kang Kang and had already had two more bowls of rice.
"..."
I used to think that my aunt’s cooking skills were pretty good, but after this comparison, Tan Mengying wished she could fire her aunt and replace her with someone with better skills.
It has to be a younger aunt, as she has many tricks at this time.
And these ingredients on the table are things I have never seen before. I will try more of them in the future.
When leaving, Xia Anan gave them the fish balls that her aunt had packed.
"I feel embarrassed to carry food and things like that." Tan Mengying took the bag and planned to bring something for Xia Anan next time.
"Nothing, just a little food."
On the way to send the person out, Xia Anan briefly explained how to make fish balls.
Anyway, it tastes good no matter how it is cooked.
"It's too late. You can go back now. You don't need to see me off."
Kang Jian held Kang Kang, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and said goodbye to Bao Bao's family.
If the little one wasn't tired from playing, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to go home now.
Before going to bed at night, Tan Mengying was still thinking about the meal she had at Xia Anan's house today. She turned over, took out her cell phone, and started searching for the snack street.
I didn't see it clearly when I was at Xia Anan's house today, but now I have time to take a closer look.
Malatang?
Why do so many people eat this thing that looks like boiled vegetables? What does it taste like?
How come there are so many kinds of skewers? And my favorite fish balls.
This hot and sour noodle, potato noodle, roujiamo...
Why does it look so delicious!
Tan Mengying took a sip of water and wished she could drive to the snack street right now.
When Kang Jian came back after washing up, he saw her looking so sad.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Kang Jian came over and hugged her.
Tan Mengying shook her head and showed him the video of the snack street on her phone.
"This is the snack street opened by An An. It's right in Xizhou Square. Shall we go take a look tomorrow? These things look delicious."
"Okay, it's pretty close anyway."
Here, Xia Anan and Lu Qingyuan took care of the two little kids and checked the wounds on their faces again.
A thin scab has formed on the broken skin, which should not leave a scar after it falls off naturally.
Looks like I'll have to tell them not to scratch with their hands tomorrow, and better cut their nails shorter...
