Chapter 21 A bowl of clear noodle soup

...

As a child from a rural area, Jerry was proficient in various housework and farm work very early in his previous life.

After graduating from college and staying in the city to work, I cooked and ate by myself most of the time.

It’s not because they think the food outside is unclean or unhygienic. Children from rural areas don’t care about that. It’s just because cooking for yourself can save at least half the cost compared to eating outside.

As prices rise, if you rely entirely on eating outside in the city, then three meals a day will cost you at least more than thirty dollars, and you will still be able to eat just average.

If you want to eat more meat and fat, you probably need to start at forty.

When he buys and cooks his own food, especially when he goes to the wet market and haggles over the price, usually more than thirty yuan can feed him for two days, which is a very good meal.

"The children of the poor will become rich early!"

This sentence was originally meant to praise the children of the poor as being more sensible and able to endure hardships than the children of the rich.

But in fact, that is not something worthy of praise.

Because the child is too obedient and sensible, most of the time it is just because of the cruel life that he has to be obedient and sensible.

Which child doesn’t want someone to love and act like a spoiled child?

The life of a poor person is already very hard. There is pressure to study, pressure to go to work, pressure to get married, and pressure to live in old age.

The only childhood where there is no pressure, freedom and happiness, but you must learn to "become the master early".

This is a very true portrayal of Jerry's previous life.

So although he can't be called a chef, he is still good at some home-cooked dishes.

As a person with an adult soul, he is certainly not willing to accept Haas's care and support for nothing. He will take the initiative to take on whatever he can do.

Such as cooking, housework and taking care of Elsa.

Of course, part of the reason is that Haas is a typical big boss.

If Jerry didn't clean up the house, the whole house would be messed up by Haas and Aisha in less than two days, which would make his scalp numb just looking at it.

As for cooking, haha, the food cooked by Haas is really dumped in the community and stray cats will not eat it.

It is conceivable that during those days when Jerry could not cook, the food they ate was indescribable!

"Elsa likes noodles, so let's make a bowl of clear soup noodles in the morning!"

Jerry is not used to eating certain Western-style foods, so except when he goes to school and makes some Western-style breakfasts to save time, he usually makes Chinese-style breakfasts most of the time, such as on weekends or during summer vacations like now.

As for whether Haas and Aisha won't get used to it, it's actually not bad.

Although they don't like some Chinese dishes, there are so many Chinese dishes that they always like to eat, such as his clear soup noodles, Kung Pao chicken, boiled fish, pot-roasted pork, and fish-flavored shredded pork.

...

Haas was once curious about why Jerry cooked so many Chinese dishes. Jerry calmly placed the list of Chinese dishes he had bought from Chinatown in front of Haas.

"Jerry, you woke up so early again. It's summer vacation. You can actually sleep a little longer. Dad can order takeout for you for breakfast!"

Just as he was taking out the ingredients he needed from the refrigerator, the sleepy Haas also started to get up and clean himself up.

As a police sergeant, Haas does not have winter or summer vacations. He still needs to go to work as usual to deal with the follow-up and finishing work of yesterday's bank robbery.

Jerry turned on the gas stove and replied:

"It's okay, I'm used to it. When you're done, you can go and wake Aisha up. I ate noodles this morning. It won't taste good if it's too late!"

"Noodles? Oh, that's great, I love noodles!"

After Haas tidied himself up, he went to Aisha's room.

It is not an easy task to get the little guy like Elsa up to eat, and Haas will probably have to put in a lot of effort.

"Elsa, get dressed and eat!"

"Has, the God of Death, never wants to take me, the Snow Queen, away from the castle. Take the move: Ice Spear that Freezes the Void!"

"Ouch!"

Listening to the sound of the father and daughter fighting fiercely from the room, Jerry also smiled and shook his head.

Heat the pan, add cold oil, and crack three eggs. After the eggs are formed, turn them over and fry until both sides are caramelized. Add the hot water that has been burned in advance. When the caramelized eggs touch the hot water, they will produce a milky white, fragrant and delicious flavor.

Soup base.

When the water in the pot boils again, take out the eggs and divide them into three parts for later use. Add the noodles and a few green vegetables picked in advance.

While the noodles are cooking, take out three bowls and add appropriate amounts of light soy sauce, vinegar, salt, chopped green onions, and most importantly, lard.

Add water to the noodles and boil them twice. Pour the soup into three bowls, then put the noodles, eggs and green vegetables in order. A bowl of fragrant and refreshing clear soup noodles is completed.

At this time, Haas finally lifted the reluctant Elsa out of the room. Yes, it was literally the kind of lift that held her shirt collar in the air, and supervised her brushing her teeth and washing her teeth.

Face.

“My favorite noodles!”

Seeing that her favorite breakfast was noodles, Aisha immediately screamed with joy.

"Eat quickly, it won't get cold for a while!"

Jerry rubbed Elsa's messy hair.

"Seriously, Jerry, if you open a Chinese restaurant in the future, your business will be very good. This noodles is much better than the ones I had in Chinatown!"

Haas ate the noodles in the bowl with a fork and couldn't help but admire it.

"Forget it, it's okay to do it occasionally, but I don't plan to spend time in the kitchen every day!"

Cooking is just Jerry's survival skill, not a hobby.

"Then have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? Be a scientist, a policeman, a lawyer, or an entrepreneur?"

Haas said and took a big sip of soup.

In Haas's eyes, he had never seen such an outstanding kid like Jerry in all his years, so he felt that as long as Jerry was willing, these careers should not be a problem.

When Jerry heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Scientists, police officers, lawyers, and entrepreneurs have experience in previous lives, learning abilities boosted by little red stars, and magical abilities. These careers that they yearned for in previous lives seem to be easily attainable in this life.

But, are these really what he wants?

In his previous life, he yearned for these professions not because he liked them, but because he felt that the wages and benefits of these professions were very good, which was beyond the reach of an ordinary worker who had no connections and was not good at communication.

But in this life, he doesn't seem to have to worry about money. So what kind of person does he want to be and what kind of job does he want to do in the future?

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's wait until we grow up!"

Putting down his chopsticks, Jerry smiled and said his answer.

Indeed, he really hasn't thought about it yet. At least right now, he doesn't have anything in particular that he wants to do. He just wants to strengthen himself and protect his two relatives, Haas and Aisha, from being harmed in the future.
