Chapter 300 What's so good about chili?
The chili that Hanabi bought was really hot, and Kai Uesugi fell silent when he saw the bleeding wound on his thumb.
"Ah, brother is bleeding!" Aiyi said so, ran to the corridor, tiptoed on the small stool next to the cabinet, opened the drawer, took out a bunch of band-aids from it, and then ran back to Kai Uesugi side, reaching out to him.
"Give."
"Wait for me to wash it first." Uesugi Kai put the wound under the faucet expressionlessly.
"What's the matter?" Hanamaru Hanabi, who was teaching Qian Ai to cook, turned her head to Uesugi Kai who was at the sink and asked.
"Brother cut his hand and cut pepper." Aiyi said to the two with a long string of Band-Aids in his hand.
Qian Aiyi automatically filtered out Aiyi's weird words, Hanamaru Hanabi was puzzled for a while.
Cut by a knife and covered with chili peppers, it’s a lie to say it doesn’t hurt
"Huahuo, bring some vinegar here."
"Good, good."
"Doesn't it hurt?" Aiyi saw Kai Uesugi's wound washed with clean water, the incisions were all white.
"pain."
Kai Uesugi said calmly, took the vinegar from Hanamaru Hanabi beside him, and applied a little bit on the wound that was stained with pepper.
"If it hurts, why doesn't brother have a very painful expression?" Aiyi asked while holding the corner of the counter with both hands.
"That's my big brother, I'm holding back. Although you can't tell, I'm actually in pain."
After Kaoru Uesugi smeared the wound with vinegar, the burning sensation subsided a little, and his tensed heart immediately relaxed.
Hanamaru Hanabi stood by her side, holding a bottle of vinegar in both hands and looked at him suspiciously: "Why did Kai-kun wipe the wound with vinegar?"
"Acid neutralizes alkali. The spiciness in chili is called capsaicin. Don't you know that?"
Kaoru Uesugi turned his head to look at her, Hanamaru Hanabi took a step back subconsciously, thinking that his little head was about to be shot again.
"no."
"This is knowledge from middle school, and Hana-chan has become stupid again." Uesugi Kai said with a slight smile.
"No..." Hanamaru Hanabi's momentum was weakened by the words, and he could only hold the vinegar bottle tightly in his hand, "It's been so long. I can't remember, Kai-kun can't say that Hanabi is stupid"
Seeing her cute look, Uesugi Kai couldn't help but want to pinch her face, but suddenly he smelled a slight smell.
"What is the taste."
"Sister Huahuo, Sister Huahuo! Inside the pot." Qian Aiyi, who was guarding the dinner by the side of the pot, didn't know what to do at this time. She remembered that it wasn't time to turn it over. If you mess up things, you can only worry.
"Bread." Hanamaru quickly turned around, looking at the toast bread in the pan.
She turned the toast over with a spatula and saw that it was only brown, not black.
"Huh~ It's okay, it's okay."
"Brother, here." Aiyi once again gave Uesugi Kai the Band-Aid in her hand.
"Thank you," Uesugi Kai felt that the burning sensation on his hands had indeed diminished, and covered the wound with a band-aid, "but how does Aiyi know where the band-aid is at my house?"
Just now, little Aiyi quickly ran to the corridor, obviously clear.
"Sister Huahuo said that she can let Aiyi live here in the future."
"That's it."
"Brother is the third person to say thank you to Aiyi."
Uesugi Kai hesitated slightly, the first one should be Qian Aiyi.
Aiyi relies on her elder sister very much, and Qian Aiyi is also very sensible as an elder sister.
"Who's the second one?"
"Sister Huahuo."
Aiyi took the remaining large bunch of Band-Aids in his hands, ran back to the corridor, stood on the small stool again and opened the drawer, pushed the things in, pushed the drawer hard, and ran back.
Uesugi Kai felt that his hands had improved a lot, and started cutting peppers again.
In fact, it was just when he raised his hand that he accidentally touched the knife edge, and he got scratched.
His chopping skills are still very good.
"Kai-kun, let's rest, let Hanabi make it." Hanamaru Hanabi, who finished toasting bread, was holding a plate, and saw his hands, a little absent-minded.
"It's ok."
"Kai-kun, let's take a rest," Hanamaru Hanabi insisted.
Kaoru Uesugi knew what Hanabi was thinking, and she probably thought it was her fault.
If you don't chop peppers for her, you won't get your hands cut.
"Without you cooking, I'm afraid I'll starve to death."
"What.?" Hanamaru Hanabi couldn't understand his words.
Uesugi Kai piled up the red peppers and chopped them into fine pieces with a kitchen knife in his right hand, "I mean, don't worry too much, it's just cutting your hands, I'm not that hypocritical, go get busy."
"Really okay?"
"It's really okay."
Hanamaru Hanabi looked at his face.
The two have been together for more than ten years, and they both know when to say something.
Hanamaru Hanabi didn't try to persuade him to go to rest, but she just withdrew her caring eyes and continued to work on the dinner, and taught Qian Aiyi who was not very good at cooking by the way.
What to have for dinner is always a family dilemma.
Boys say casually, girls feel perfunctory, and then start to lose their temper inexplicably.
A couple who were still in love during the day broke up at night.
Hanabi won't be like this, even if Uesugi Kai says it's casual, she will seriously think about what to eat tonight.
Today, Aiyi's two little lolitas are also guests, so the food is a little lighter.
Miso soup, vegetable salad, sandwiches, mashed potatoes.
Uesugi Kai prefers light food, and his Hanamaru Hanabi is usually made separately from his own.
Because she likes spicy food, she will put a little chili in everything.
The spiciness that Huahuo likes is not the kind of oily and spicy, but the kind of refreshing that is more inclined to the chili itself.
It is similar to the picture of a fresh chili in one bite.
The peppers chopped by Uesugi are also used to make hot sauce for Hanabi.
Half of the previous bottle was used, and the new bottle had to be remade and then sealed for a month before it could be eaten.
He saw with his own eyes that the lump of red was mashed together by her with minced ginger and minced garlic, mixed with salt and sealed in a glass bottle.
The spiciness when you open it will wake up your nose just thinking about it.
There is no such method of hot sauce in Japan, which she learned from watching videos on the Internet.
"Is that delicious?" Aiyi saw the food that Sister Huahuo had treasured up. Beside the new hot sauce was a half-eaten bottle of old hot sauce.
"Haven't you ever eaten chili?" Uesugi asked, "It's that kind of taste."
"I have never eaten chili. I just saw it in a book."
Never had chili?Kai Uesugi carefully recalled the details of his life over the years. It seems that he has never eaten chili except for eating with Hanabi.
In China, chili is also a fresh ingredient, which is very common.
In Japan, modern food is soft and sweet, and spiciness is rarely eaten in daily life except for snacks.
And even if it is a spicy food, there is only a little bit of spiciness.
Most of them are still the spicy taste that you can eat in Mapo Tofu.
The chili pepper that Japanese people are most exposed to is actually a seasoning called "Shichiwei Tang Xinzi", and "Tang Xinzi" refers to chili peppers.
These small jars that are placed by the table in restaurants are very popular, and many Chinese restaurants have this.
Sprinkle a little bit on meals, meat, and ramen.
Hanamaru Hanabi doesn't like this for the simple reason that it's not spicy at all.
She usually mixes chili powder by herself and puts it in her pocket every day.
"Do you want to eat?" Uesugi found Ai Yi's expression seemed to want to try chili.
"think"
"I advise you not to try it, your sister Huahuo's pepper, even I can't stand it."
"Is it very spicy?"
"It hurts."
Uesugi Kai saw that Aiyi still didn't give up the idea of eating, and wanted to scare her, but suddenly found that he still didn't understand what she was afraid of.
"Are you sure you want to eat?"
"To eat."
While Hanamaru Hanabi was teaching Qian Aiyi how to make a sandwich, Kai Uesugi raised his hand and took a half-used bottle of hot sauce from the cabinet.
Then he unscrewed the bottle cap and let Ai Yi smell it.
Hot and spicy.
"Are you still eating?"
"I want to try it."
Then give it a try.
Kai Uesugi picked up a chopstick by the stove in the kitchen, dipped it into the jar to dip some red hot sauce, and then sent it to Ai's open mouth.
At the beginning, Aiyi was still normal, but gradually, her little face became flushed, and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.
"Spicy?" Uesugi Kai saw her trying to hold back something.
Aiyi nodded her head, clenched her clothes tightly with her hands, her expression was tearful, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
He didn't cry directly.
Kai Uesugi knew the power of Xiaohua Hot Sauce, so he didn't intend to watch a show, so he quickly found a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, put a straw in it for her to drink.
Aiyi was holding back her breath, her eyes kept on watching him move, and when he came back, she hurriedly stood up on tiptoe, and stretched out her hands to grab the iced milk he brought over.
The small mouth sucked the milk vigorously, and the bottle of hundreds of milliliters drained within a short while.
Aiyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbed and said, "It's still spicy."
It seemed that it was really spicy, so Kai Uesugi brought her a bottle of milk from the refrigerator.
Aiyi hurried forward to grab it again, and her small mouth squeezed the straw tightly to suck.
"Drink slowly, don't drink it all at once, or you won't be able to stop the spicy taste after drinking many bottles."
"Um"
Kaoru Uesugi reached out and took out the bottle of milk she had just finished drinking.
Another person was harmed by Xiaohuahuo's pepper.
It was definitely not that he deliberately gave Aiyi to drink, it was Aiyi who wanted to drink.
Now the corners of Aiyi's eyes are still full of tears, like a little girl crying.
However, she didn't cry like ordinary little girls, but tried hard to hold back her emotions, even though she wanted to cry, she didn't let herself cry.
This gave him the feeling that Aiyi was trying to force herself to be strong.
"Are you okay?" Kai Uesugi held the empty bottle with both hands.
Aiyi wiped her tear-filled eyes, raised her head and smiled at him, "Hee hee."
"Also laughing."
Seeing her smiling tearfully at himself, Kai Uesugi felt that he shouldn't feed her Chili Sauce from Hanabi.
He threw the two empty bottles into the trash can and brought her a bottle of milk.
"Do you still want to eat sister Huahuo's chili?"
Aiyi hurriedly shook her head and didn't say anything.
That's right, they were all made to cry, and if they were replaced by other children, they would probably have psychological shadows.
Uesugi Kai sighed and handed her the third bottle of milk.
Aiyi is still wearing their school uniform today, and so is her sister.
"Do you only have school uniforms at home?"
"There are other clothes." The little loli's voice was cute.
"Yes." Uesugi Kai thought her mother would not buy clothes for them.
"However... I can't wear it anymore. It was the school uniform that my sister wore last year. Aiyi only has two pieces. My sister usually washes them. She asked Aiyi to change them."
Aiyi drank another bottle of milk, and her tone returned to the usual lazy feeling.
Okay, Kai Uesugi overestimated their irresponsible mother.
He took a special look at Qian Aiyi, and found that her clothes were a little loose at the shoulders.
It is estimated that in order to be able to wear it for a longer time, I chose a size larger.
Aiyi's clothes are the same, they are all one size bigger.
"Has your sister received any cards recently?"
"A bank card?"
"Well, that's it."
"Yes, my sister also said that there is money from my father in it."
"Sister Huahuo and I will take you to buy some clothes tomorrow, how about it?"
"Really!?" Aiyi suddenly raised her head.
"Yeah." Kaoru Uesugi nodded.
Aiyi weighed his little feet, looked up and said: "Brother, do you want Aiyi to help warm the bed today? Aiyi and the two older sisters can help warm the bed together."
"This is free."
"Warm the bed!"
"Sister Huahuo's father is a policeman, brother, I will be arrested."
"Why was my brother arrested?"
"Because you are underage."
"Are you an adult?"
"No way."
"Why?"
"No why."
