Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Super Refreshing!

"But in the end, plans still can’t keep up with changes." Ye Fei said now, able to let go of things long ago, even laughing, "But if it weren’t for being forced to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and choosing to run to B City even if it meant not attending school, I wouldn’t have come this far, right?"

"My goals since childhood: one was to leave Ye City, and the other was to have a restaurant of my own. A higher aim was to let more and more people know about my cooking," Ye Fei said with a smile.

"At the time, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat was a desperate move, but it also pushed me a big step forward in a seemingly destined way. Now I’m moving toward my goals, and ordinary college courses are actually of little use to me. It’s not that schooling is useless, but it doesn’t help much with what I want to do now."

If I were to open a restaurant, I could specifically study finance and related majors.

Not to mention, there’s Zhao Gushen, a professional leader, in my family.

Rather than going to college to study those comprehensive yet vague courses, it’s better to study something more direct.

"Actually, if I could have chosen at the time, putting aside the conditions like tuition fees and just choosing a school to test for, I would have preferred to try for Changping Academy." Ye Fei said, "Now that I have this opportunity, it’s like fulfilling my dream."

As for going to college.

If I were still young, nineteen or twenty, I’d also be willing to go back to campus.

But now, my mindset has changed, and I can’t settle down to go back to study like before.

I’m already 25 years old, and in schools, there are young kids of eighteen or nineteen.

I would feel out of place in there.

Besides, except for family, the rest of my life is about cooking, and I really can’t spare more time for school.

Although there are young boys and girls in Changping, it’s still different from a university.

Some people even specifically take the exam for Changping after graduating from university.

Changping has no age restrictions for enrollment, nor any requirements for high school exit exam scores.

So, as long as you pass Changping’s own exam, you can get in.

Plus, being involved in a profession I love, Ye Fei has no worries about integrating into the environment.

Truthfully, even if I establish my own brand and open a restaurant in the future,

I’ll focus on researching cuisine.

As for running a restaurant, leave it to the professionals.

Just leave it to Zhao Gushen, and let him take charge.

Regarding Ye Fei going to Changping, both Zhao Gushen and the little guy are thrilled and have no issue adapting.

Anyway, during the day, Zhao Gushen goes to work, and the little guy goes to kindergarten.

They’re not at home anyway.

By the time they come home in the evening from work and school, Ye Fei will be back too.

After tidying up, Ye Fei goes to cook for them.

The heat is really intense right now.

Even though it gets slightly cooler in the evenings, the temperature is still something.

Even with the air conditioning on, it’s inevitably stifling.

Ye Fei thought it might be better to make something simple, like cold noodles.

Ye Fei took out dry cold noodles, soaked them in water to soften, then cooked them.

She poured mineral water into bowls.

Used a blender to mash apples and pears, mixed them with water until dissolved, added soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, and some Sprite.

Finally, she placed the cooked noodles into the mixed soup.

She took ice cubes from the fridge, which were always kept ready for use, and put them in the cold noodles.

Then she sliced apples, pears, onions, and cucumbers into strips, lining them along the edge of the bowl, forming a circle.

The middle of the noodles was left empty.

She placed cut segments of pickled vegetables in the center, layered tomato slices and beef slices on top, and finally placed halved eggs on top.

She took out prepared pickled cucumber slices from the fridge.

This pickled cucumber dish was made by slicing only the skin part of the cucumber, leaving out the middle, which was blended into cucumber juice, mixed with some fruit to make a vegetable-fruit juice for Zhao Gushen and the little guy to drink.

The remaining cucumber strips were mixed with salt, sugar, and vinegar, and marinated for about thirty minutes.

After absorbing the excess moisture from the marinated cucumber strips with paper towels, no need to sun-dry.

This ensures the cucumbers remain crunchy even after marinating.

She sliced ginger and garlic, and thinly sliced spicy chili peppers, all added to the dry cucumber strips.

Adding soy sauce, aromatic vinegar, sugar, Sichuan pepper oil, and fried chili oil, all mixed into the cucumber strips.

She soaked all these in a glass jar.

Whenever you want to eat, just take out the cucumber strips as a side dish, which is very convenient.

The cucumber strips are crisp and cooling.

The little guy wishes he could eat them with every meal.

But Ye Fei worries about them getting tired of eating the same thing, so she changes the side dishes regularly instead of letting them eat it every day.

Today having cold noodles with pickled cucumber strips is just perfect.

Ye Fei went to Changping today, and coming back, she packed some luggage.

So dinner is simply and conveniently prepared.

The little guy in the living room smelled the tangy and sweet aroma of the meal, and his mouth began to water.

It’s rare in such hot weather to have such a good appetite.

Zhao Gushen came to the kitchen, seeing Ye Fei having already portioned out the noodles.

So he eagerly picked up a bowl, not waiting for Ye Fei to do anything further.

Ye Fei simply washed her hands and called the little guy to come eat.

The little guy climbed up his chair.

All three had bowls of the same size, but his portion was slightly reduced according to the little guy’s appetite.

Eating cold noodles is enjoyable with a big bowl.

As the little guy sat there, the big bowl almost seemed to be as wide as his two small faces.

The little guy first took a spoonful of the cold noodle soup.

Since there were always ice cubes in the soup, it was icy cold and incredibly refreshing.

Cooling to the mouth with a tangy sweetness.

The tangy sweetness coming from sugar, the sweet crispness from Sprite, and the fruity aroma from apples.

It’s quite cooling.

"It’s so tasty!" the little guy gave a thumbs up, "So refreshing!"

Zhao Gushen took a sip of soup, unable to help but praise its comfort and delight.

He then took a mouthful of cold noodles, including apple and cucumber strips, with a slight mix of onion strips.

The cold noodles were smooth, bouncy, and softly chewy, mixed with the crispness of cucumber, apple, and onion strips.

The onion strips were slightly spicy and sweet, cucumber strips were refreshing, apple strips were sweet with a slight tanginess.

They were soaked in the tangy soup, adding a tanginess mixed with sweetness.

It’s indefinable complexity yet layered.

Ye Fei dipped a slice of beef in the soup to soak for a moment.

The beef Ye Fei chose was tendon meat that was braised.

The tendon meat wasn’t as flaky as flank and contained beef tendons, cut into thin slices, tender yet chewy, and unlike flank, it didn’t get stuck in your teeth.
