Free Web NovelChapter 1123: Chapter 456: When a Kitchen Novice Masters the Air Fryer, Chaos Ensues!
Cui Qingyuan took the computer, not really checking the content, but just fiddled a little, bringing up the input history of the document.
"Wow, at 19:37:25, you typed over four hundred words in less than a second... This way of cheating is too clumsy, isn’t it?"
Geng Lele opened his mouth, not expecting his godfather to look at the input speed instead of the content.
Are adults nowadays really this cunning?
"Go back and rewrite it by hand, I will do a plagiarism check against this reflection..."
Plagiarism check?
The few underachievers nearby all gave Geng Lele sympathetic looks.
Tsk tsk, using thesis-level tactics, this bilingual Chinese-English reflection is really tough, isn’t it?
Luckily, we’re the underachievers, not subjected to such special treatments.
Chen Yan said earnestly:
"Lele, you must write it seriously. We didn’t even have these privileges when we were in school."
Geng Lele glanced at her:
"Sister Yan, if you want to laugh, just laugh, don’t hold back."
This immediately cracked up Ms. Chen, making her laugh uncontrollably.
As she laughed, Geng Lele leisurely said:
"I heard that people who laugh a lot get wrinkles more easily and appear older. Especially those approaching forty, the more they laugh, the more wrinkles they get."
Chen Yan opened her mouth, and the laughter abruptly stopped.
Ahhh, this damn girl actually brought that up.
Must have been Yueyue who taught her!
As it approached 8 PM, everyone started to say their farewells.
Geng Lele and Cui Qingyuan strolled back to Tsinghua University, while Zeng Xiaoqi took Chen Yan’s car back to Yinchun Street, and Chen Yan and her husband went for a stroll down the street.
After seeing the guests off, Shen Guofu and Lin Xu sat on the sofa in the living room playing games, while Shen Jiayue read the instruction manual, neatly arranging the chicken wings and other ingredients delivered earlier by the courier, into the air fryer and started frying them.
In no time, a few skewers of bone meat and a piece of chicken wing were done frying.
The outer crust was crispy and delicious, with less oily sensation than deep frying, making it more suitable as a late-night snack.
She took these out and enthusiastically started frying some French fries.
Fries didn’t need cutting, using an automatic peeler to peel the potatoes, then pressing them in a slicer turned them into a pile of fries.
Marinate a bit with seasonings, then into the air fryer they go, a delicious treat is ready.
"Come on, try them, let me know how they taste, the more feedback, the better I can improve."
Shen Guofu seized the moment when Han Shuzhen wasn’t paying attention, grabbed a chicken wing and popped it into his mouth, then gave his daughter a thumbs up:
"Tastes good, it’d be better if there were some pork ribs."
Pork ribs?
"Xu Bao, can pork ribs be made with an air fryer?"
"Yes, theoretically any food that can be fried can be made with an air fryer, like garlic pork ribs."
"Then let me give it a try."
Shen Jiayue took out her phone and ordered some marinated free pork spare ribs.
Upon ordering, she saw the shop also had lamb chops, chicken legs, chicken nuggets, onion rings, pork chops and other ingredients, all of which she added to her order.
Before long, the ordered ingredients were delivered.
Shen Jiayue tied on her apron and continued her role as a little chef creating delicious food.
By the time Han Shuzhen was done playing piano, she realized that the coffee table was already filled with seven or eight kinds of air-fried delicacies, some with only half a platter left.
"Lao Shen, did you sneak-eat these?"
Shen Guofu, who was playing games, completely denied it:
"No, no, I haven’t had a bite. Once I’m full, even delicacies won’t interest me, right, Xiao Xu?"
Lin Xu suppressed a laugh, pulling a tissue from the coffee table to hand over:
"Dad, your mouth is covered in grease and tomato sauce..."
Shen Guofu’s expression was like that of a little kitty caught eating dragon fruit online, filled with alarm and surprise.
He wiped his mouth, coughed twice:
"You see now, Xiao Xu, don’t play clever tricks like me with your mother-in-law, you can’t hide anything from her piercing gaze..."
Lin Xu suppressed a laugh.
Stop flattering her.
Also, the term "piercing gaze" doesn’t quite fit the mother-in-law.
Sure enough, Han Shuzhen gave Shen Guofu a sideways glance with an inscrutable smile:
"So, you think I’m like the Monkey King?"
The hint of coldness in her eyes gave Lao Shen a sense of impending doom.
At this point, Shen Jiayue came running over from the kitchen with a plate:
"Dad, the baked sweet potatoes you wanted are ready. Look, they’re dripping with oil, you could even use a straw to eat them. Give it a try, they’re delicious."
Shen Guofu glanced at her.
Daughter, you clearly understand the idiom "adding fuel to the fire."
Lin Xu took the sweet potato, pulled Shen Jiayue’s hand to sit down and said:
"Don’t keep busy, you made so many dishes, we can’t finish them, it’s wasteful."
"But there’s such a sense of accomplishment, and I saw online that the air fryer can even make pig brains. All you have to do is fold tin foil into a bowl and put the brains in. I plan to try it tomorrow."
Are you really going to become an air fryer wizard?
Lin Xu said:
"That kind of thing may be complicated with all the liquid, but you could make candied chestnuts with the air fryer, that’s pretty good and smells better too."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue’s eyes lit up.
Wow! You can even make candied chestnuts, the air fryer is truly the savior for kitchen novices!
She couldn’t resist wanting to try, but was stopped by Lin Xu:
"Try it tomorrow, let’s film an air fryer video together, so our food-loving buddies with limited skills can learn too."
"Sure, sure, starting tomorrow, I’m officially crossing from the pet zone to the food zone, becoming a food content creator!"
As they spoke, a "ding" sound came from the kitchen.
It was the sound of the air fryer timer finishing.
Curiously, Lin Xu asked:
"Something still in the fryer?"
"Yes, I fried some thousand-layer tofu, you all should try it later, netizens say it tastes great."
Lin Xu felt like the situation was getting more out of control.
Looking at the table full of air-fried dishes, he knew there was no way he and his in-laws could finish them all, might as well call in reinforcements.
Hopefully, everyone isn’t resting yet.
Thinking this, he took a photo of the dishes with his phone and posted it in the group chat:
"Yueyue suddenly got hooked on the air fryer, anyone hungry come and taste the charm of the air fryer."
Originally, Lin Xu thought mentioning the air fryer, people wouldn’t be interested.
To his surprise, Shu Yun and Dou Wenjing messaged one after another:
"I didn’t know an air fryer could be used like this, I need to learn from the lady boss."
"I’m going too, suddenly feel like a kitchen pro, this is amazing."
Lin Xu: "..."
Oh my, is this developing into an air fryer squad?
