HCB Chapter 202 Hamburger Set
Chapter 202 Hamburger Set
Xu Congyi waited until Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an came back from school before he started frying food, so that the food would be warmest when eaten. He used a large pot at home, one for frying chicken wings, chicken legs and hamburger thighs, and the other for frying French fries and golden chicken nuggets.
Half of the fried chicken wings and chicken legs are made with breadcrumbs. They are first dipped in egg liquid and then rolled in homemade breadcrumbs before frying. The other half is made with flour. The chicken wings and chicken legs are first dipped in water, then rolled in flour. This is repeated three times until scales appear on the chicken wings and chicken legs and then they are ready to be fried.
Xu Congyi mixed mashed potatoes and chicken breast together. Xu's mother and Li Dahua volunteered to fry the ingredients. Xu Congyi did not refuse as she could be responsible for assembling the burgers.
In the kitchen, two large pots were steaming. In one pot, golden oil was rolling. Chicken wings, chicken legs and hamburger drumsticks were jumping happily in the oil, making an enticing "sizzling" sound. The aroma in the air was mouth-watering. In the other pot, French fries and golden chicken nuggets gradually became golden and crispy in the hot oil, and each one was filled with a full sense of happiness.
Meanwhile, Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an were busy in the yard, carefully taking out the hamburger dough that had been slowly baked with charcoal fire during the day until the skin was slightly burnt and the inside was soft, and placed it on a clean plate. Xu Congyi took out another plate of baked dough from her own space. These doughs were attractive in color and exuded a unique wheat aroma. She also took apples, bananas, grapes and cherry tomatoes to make fruit salad, which was for relieving greasiness and was not intended to be sold, so she also took salad dressing to add another flavor to tonight's hamburgers.
When Xu Congyi was concentrating on making the hamburger, Xu Congan approached quietly, and his eyes were deeply attracted by the hamburger buns that exuded a rich aroma. "Sister, is this a toasted bun? Why does it smell so different? It smells so good that it makes people drool!" He asked with curiosity.
Xu Congyi raised his head, "This is not an ordinary toasted bun, it's my hamburger bun, paired with the sauce I made myself and these freshly fried chicken thighs, I guarantee you will be very satisfied!"
Hearing the words "enjoy a feast", Xu Cong'an's eyes lit up instantly, "Then what am I waiting for! Tell me, what else can I do to help? Oh, yes, and there's my brother!" He was eager to get involved, and at the same time, he did not forget to pull Xu Congwen, who was also standing aside with a look of anticipation on his face.
Xu Congyi then noticed that Xu Congwen had quietly stood on her other side, looking at her with gentle eyes. She pointed to a bowl full of fruits not far away and said, "Big brother, second brother, come and help wash the fruits in the bowl and cut them into small pieces. This way, after everyone finishes eating their hamburgers, they can also enjoy a refreshing fruit platter, isn't it better?"
"Okay, no problem!" Xu Cong'an and Xu Congwen answered almost at the same time, and then they turned and walked towards the fruit bowl to start their "fruit mission". The two brothers cooperated tacitly, one was responsible for washing and the other for cutting. After a while, the originally messy fruits turned into a plate of colorful and appetizing fruit pieces.
Meanwhile, Xu Congyi was also making rapid progress. She placed the golden fried chicken thighs at the bottom of the hamburger buns, then picked up a spoon and gently smeared a layer of ketchup on them. The bright color complemented the golden color of the hamburger buns, and then covered them with crisp lettuce, which made people's appetite increase at first sight. Then, she placed another piece of hamburger bun on top steadily, and a perfect hamburger was born. She repeated this action, and soon, plates of fragrant hamburgers were neatly arranged on the plate, waiting for her family to taste them.
As for the fruit salad, Xu Congyi directly squeezed the low-fat salad dressing she specially selected and gently stirred it evenly. However, when she looked at the hamburgers, fried chicken, and French fries on the table, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking: "Even if I use low-fat salad dressing, it's hard not to gain weight after eating so many high-calorie foods."
Finally, she took the remaining ketchup into the main room and prepared to use it to dip the French fries.
The whole family sat at the dinner table, and the aroma of fried food and hamburgers kept tempting everyone's taste buds.
Xu Congyi first introduced the delicacies on the table. After the introduction, the family members picked up the burgers with chopsticks or hands, and couldn't wait to take a big bite. The burger buns were soft and delicious, and the chicken thighs were tender and juicy, instantly releasing the rich meaty aroma and the sweetness of the sauce in the mouth, which made people linger. The fried chicken wings and French fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and every bite was an extreme tease for the taste buds.
Since these delicacies were just out of the pot, the temperature was still quite high, especially the chicken thighs, which were still steaming and seemed a bit hot. But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the family members at all. They blew air carefully, but still ate with big mouthfuls, enjoying this feast from the taste buds.
"There's still juice in this meat!" Xu Cong'an couldn't help but shout excitedly after taking a bite of the burger. His voice was full of surprise and satisfaction, as if he had discovered some treasure. The family members also echoed him, saying that these delicacies were so delicious that they couldn't stop eating.
