Xiao Hong marinated the chopped chicken with some seasonings and started to mix the batter.

Whether fried chicken is delicious or not, marinating and batter are the key.

She spooned in flour and sweet potato flour and stirred them evenly, then added some salt and thirteen spices, then added water and stirred them into a fine batter.

Xiao Fang wrote down the various seasonings and quantities on the side.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone is used to cooking at home, which seems lively and popular, so there are no customers ordering food at noon today.

Xiao Hong was ready to show her skills to everyone.

When she was heating the oil in the pot, Wu Julan watched her pour five or six kilograms of oil at once, and she suspected that she would feel so distressed that she was suffering from a heart attack.

This soybean oil costs two yuan per pound. How can we still lose money?

She couldn't help but mutter: "Please put less in it? This is all oil, not water!"

Xiao Hong pretended that she didn't hear anything and rolled the marinated chicken in the batter for a few times. After making sure that the chicken was completely coated in batter, she rolled it in the sweet potato flour.

The oil in the pot was about the same temperature. She put the chicken pieces in the pot and fried them, then flipped them gently after waiting for a while. After ten minutes, the chicken pieces were already slightly yellow.

She used a funnel spoon to take out the chicken pieces to control the oil, and put the unfried ones down for frying.

After everything is fried, add the chicken again and fry again. This time, fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and take them out.

For a while, the smell of meat and oil in the kitchen was so tangy that people couldn't help but salivate.

Zhao Laosi, who was lighting the fire, hurriedly brought it to the scale: "A total of seventeen catties and four taels. Excluding the three catties and two taels of pot, there are still fourteen catties and two taels."

He breathed a sigh of relief and was a little surprised: "Before frying, the chicken was only eleven kilograms and eight taels. Is this an extra two kilograms and forty taels?"

Whether it's chicken or oil, it's all good stuff, but he's also afraid that the chicken won't hold up well on the scale.

"It really smells weird." Wu Julan looked at the oil in the pot. Even if she fished it out with a slotted spoon, there was still some residue: "After the oil is poured out, you don't need to wash the pot for cooking. You can just cook the vegetable and tofu soup later.

No need to put oil in."

Even though life is better now, the habit of thrift has become a habit.

"Mom, you're right." After eating fried chicken, it would be nice to drink some lighter vegetable soup. Xiao Hong greeted everyone: "Come and eat, how about you taste this?"

Zhao Laosi picked up a chopstick and took a bite. After swallowing, he nodded quickly: "It's delicious. I didn't expect the chicken to be so tender."

Yanyan also praised it: "The outer shell is also delicious, fragrant and especially crispy."

"The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the taste is really delicious." Xiao Fang said more elegantly: "The most important thing is that we don't sell it here. It will definitely sell well if we make it during the Chinese New Year."

Xiao Hong put her arms around her shoulders and sighed in a rude manner: "Yanyan, you have to learn how to speak from your second sister. How nice is it?"

Yanyan gnawed on the chicken leg and had no time to talk. She smiled and nodded with bright eyes.

Xiao Fang blushed a little and stared at her helplessly: "Get out of here, don't get the oil on my clothes."

Wu Julan was very proud of her eldest daughter, who was not only smart but also good at cooking, but she stopped praising her so as not to raise her tail to the sky.

She looked at her daughter and asked, "This fried chicken is so delicious. What price should we sell it for?"

Before Xiao Hong could speak, there were footsteps coming in from outside, and Xu Xinning's pleasant laughing voice: "Xiao Hong, guess what I brought you?"

Xiao Hong felt that Xu Xinning was very cunning. You must know that when the three of them were together, he completely ignored him, but in front of others, he was deeply afraid of being seen as having evil intentions towards Xiao Fang, so he regarded himself as

shield.

She didn't even bother to talk to him.

But Wu Julan had already greeted her with a smile on her face: "Xinning, you are here."

When she finished speaking, she saw that in addition to Xu Xinning, Yan Hong was also here. She was very surprised: "Yan Hong, why are you here? Come and eat some of Xiao Hong's new fried chicken."

The kitchen is not big enough to accommodate so many people.

Zhao Laosi came out with fried chicken and warmly invited them to sit down and eat.

Xu Xinning looked at the yellow and orange fried chicken, put the two big bags in his hands on the table, and couldn't laugh or cry: "You asked my brother to bring the fried chicken from KFC, why did you make it yourself?"

After saying this, I felt like I was blaming her for what I said, so I immediately changed my mind: "Good craftsmanship, it smells better than the one I bought."

Wu Julan asked Xu Xinning. Knowing that they hadn't had lunch yet, she enthusiastically pulled them to sit down and eat together.

Xiao Hong came over and opened the bag, but couldn't find the invoice, so she stretched out her hand to Yan Hong: "Long time no see, you are welcome. Where is the invoice?"

Yan Hong deliberately collected the invoices to prevent them from knowing that what he bought was not cheap, and he was worried that they would have to give him money.

He looked indifferent: "Isn't it in the bag? Maybe I didn't take it? Or maybe I threw it away casually?"

Two small square tables merged together to form a rectangular table. The two brothers sat together, and Xiao Hong sat diagonally opposite him, squinting at him and smiling: "Thank you for the treat. I didn't want to give you money, but

I want to know how much they sell for it, and I want to sell this too."

Although the two of them haven't seen each other for almost half a year, they were so impressive when they first met that Xiao Hong doesn't miss him when he talks to him now.

Yan Hong was stunned for a moment.

Although she was dressed plainly, the look she gave him, her brows moving and her almond-shaped eyes like water, made his heart beat uncontrollably.

Nowadays, it is said that men and women are equal. He has female colleagues, and when he is on missions, he sees many kinds of fat and thin women in hotels and dance halls.

Beautiful women can indeed make him look at her one more time, but they don't make him feel like his heart is about to jump out of his chest.

He didn't even know that after being apart for so long, he would occasionally dream about her saving him from the pond when he returned to her in the middle of the night.

In the dream, I was really a bastard and he did something very excessive to her...

Unable to think about it anymore, he lowered his head and took out the invoice from his pocket and handed it to her.

Xu Xinning, who was on the other side, really didn't show up. He simply ate the fried chicken with his hands and praised while eating: "I think your cooking is better."

Xiao Fang took out the two big bags of delicious food they brought, and Xiao Hong also came over to exchange orders: "Two pieces of original chicken, and a portion of mashed potatoes cost ninety-nine yuan?"

"There are also two large chicken drumsticks and a vegetable salad bag for only 9.9 yuan."

"The fried chicken nuggets and fries are also nine dollars."

Now KFC has not spread all over the country, and there are not many set menus. Anyway, Xiao Hong has not seen it in the city, let alone Houzhai Town, which is a relatively remote town. It is impossible to have one.

Xiao Hong believed from the bottom of her heart that Yan Hong was really generous. She was worried that they would not have enough to eat, so she bought three portions of all three items, which cost nearly ninety yuan.

Although it is said that I am very happy if I can eat meat.

But maybe it was because the ones he brought were a bit cold, and everyone thought the fried chicken they had just made at home tasted pretty good.
