Chapter 279: Where's the Simplicity of Lunch? (2/2)
"Let's have a little more for lunch!"
Yan Zhenfu was in charge of burning wood and boiling water, Kang Yao was busy putting those dishes and chopsticks into the boiling water according to Yang Han's request, Yang Ruoyi didn't have any work to do for the time being, she could only lean over and watch her father deal with the bacon.
"This bacon is good, it's hind leg meat. Yang Han saw her daughter coming, so she explained to her with a smile, "Originally, ordinary bacon should be burned with fire, so that the skin will not be hard, we should have burned it, and then vacuum packaged." ”
"Why is it not hard to burn bacon, shouldn't it be harder when burned?" Yang Ruoyi asked puzzled.
"Because we still have to boil and wash!" Yang Han pointed to the burnt substance on the skin, and then put it into a large basin of boiling hot water and soaked it, "After washing, you can see the original color of the bacon that you are more familiar with, golden yellow!"
During the time when the bacon was soaked in hot water, Yang Han also went to prepare other ingredients by the way.
I have to say that the program team is quite conscientious, they also prepared some ingredients in the refrigerator, at least they don't have to think about how to do tasks in exchange for ingredients when they are hungry at noon.
There are no big fish and meat, but there are basic ingredients such as carrots and potatoes, and fresh mushrooms are there, and in the end, Yang Han also found a big baby in the refrigerator!
"Tsk, there are actually bamboo shoots! And it's fresh winter bamboo shoots!" Yang Han asked her daughter to pick the chili peppers that could come in handy.
"Bamboo shoots?" Yang Ruoyi was pleasantly surprised to come over and look, "Are there really bamboo shoots?"
"You don't necessarily like to eat bamboo shoots today, because Dad is going to fry them with chili peppers. Yang Han poured cold water on her, "Your brother Afu eats spicy food, he brought us so much bacon and sauce plate duck, let's make a dish that suits the taste of others, you say?"
"Okay then! I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman and eat spicy!" Yang Ruoyi didn't care, she also arched her hand with a smile, and said sassy like a woman.
Yang Ruoyi helped her father peel the potatoes and carrots, and she could finally do it! And Yang Han first cut a large piece of winter bamboo shoots (it had been peeled in the refrigerator), cut it into thin slices, and then boiled it in a pot under cold water, so that Kang Yao, who had already helped to scald the dishes, help watch it.
Yang Han's knife was very fast, chopping and chopping, Yang Ruoyi's cut potatoes and carrots were cut into dices by him, and the washed mushrooms were also diced, and finally the soaked bacon, Yang Han cut it in half, half of it was cut into thin slices, and the other half was cut into diced meat the same size as potatoes and carrots.
Of course, the meat slices are used to fry bamboo shoots, but after the bamboo shoots are cooked, they have to be soaked in cold water for a while, so Yang Han washed the pot first and re-burned the oil to fry the bacon cubes.
"Wow, it's amazing, it's amazing, friends, this bacon is so fragrant!" Kang Yao praised beside him.
But this time he was heartily applauded, because Yang Ruoyi and Yan Zhenfu also nodded vigorously beside them, expressing their deep agreement, Yang Ruoyi didn't even have the image of a lady, she raised the back of her hand to wipe the sweat on her face, and her mouth made a very obvious sound of "grunting"!
"Don't worry, it's not fried and eaten!" Yang Han stir-fried the bacon in oil, then simply stir-fried the carrots and potatoes, and then served it.
The rice had been soaked before, and after Yang Han drained it, he poured it into the rice pot in the small stove next to him, doubled the water, and then added the fried bacon, carrots, and diced potatoes.
"Firewood rice, firewood rice from the farmhouse, don't look at the trouble of cooking, and you have to get firewood and make fire, but in fact, it is the most fragrant! Now many rice cookers are under the banner of firewood rice, but in fact, it is all fake! Today we can try authentic firewood rice!" Yang Han asked Yan Zhenfu to continue to watch the fire, and only after getting up did he say to Kang Yao.
"Firewood rice...... I remember four years ago, our station had a program that went deep into the countryside, and that time I was fortunate to eat firewood rice, and it was indeed super fragrant as Mr. Yang said!" Kang Yao sighed, "Therefore, sometimes technology does not necessarily bring a better life, it makes us lose the most simple, but also the most beautiful things!"
"That's why our show is called Longing for Life. Yang Han nodded to him knowingly, "We went to the mountains and the countryside to find the beauty we once longed for!"
Yang Ruoyi originally listened with admiration, but it didn't sound right when she listened, she blinked her eyes wide and looked at Yan Zhenfu who was squatting on the side to burn firewood.
Yan Zhenfu also squeezed his eyebrows with her.
Look, that's your grown!
Yang Ruoyi wrinkled her nose with deep understanding and nodded approvingly.
......
While waiting for the rice to be cooked and the bamboo shoots to be soaked, everyone was a little bored.
Yang Ruoyi said to Yang Han: "Dad, I think we have miscalculated!"
"Huh?"
"We should also bring some things like Brother Afu, such as the fish and shrimp in our refrigerator, as well as those chickens and duck......s in our Guangdong Province," Yang Ruoyi said regretfully, "If you bring it, you don't have to worry about what to eat tonight!"
"You might as well move our refrigerator over!" Yang Han shook his head with a smile.
In fact, Yang Ruoyi was whimsical, not to mention whether the program team would confiscate their "cheating" ingredients, but to go from Yangcheng to Caiyun, and then take a car, stay overnight, and finally wait for the car to go up the mountain...... This long journey, these ingredients they brought are estimated to be bad - frozen shrimp and frozen fish, which are all to be frozen and stored!
However, Yan Zhenfu didn't think about it so much, he discussed with Yang Ruoyi with great interest: "Yes, don't you have a lot of seafood there? You can also bring crabs!"
Do you still want to eat crabs?
Wait a minute...... Crab?
Yang Han suddenly had an idea!
"You want to eat crabs, right?" Yang Han took out a few eggs from the refrigerator and said with a smile, "In this big mountain, there is no way to get crabs for you, but it is still possible to make a crab!"
Beat out the eggs, separate the yolk from the white, then take the ginger and cut it into fine foam, add cooking wine, salt, white vinegar and sugar to mix well.
The rest is very simple, that is, the egg whites and egg yolks are fried separately, the egg whites need to slip quickly, the adjusted ginger foam juice is added to fry separately, and finally the egg whites are spread under the plate, the egg yolk is covered, and a plate of fragrant crabs is fried!
"Wow, Teacher Yang, you're really amazing! Crabs can come out!" The hungry Kang Yao couldn't help but pick up and eat a few bites first, but not only Kang Yao praised loudly, Yan Zhenfu couldn't help but "Kanghua", and gave Yang Han a thumbs up with admiration.
Yang Han was frying bacon and bamboo shoots, he turned his head and glanced at Yang Ruoyi, whose eyes were shining, and turned his head with a smile.
Fortunately, they were quite restrained and did not finish this plate of crab in one go, and at least put it on the table in the end.
At noon, no, it should be said that the sunshine in the small mountain village in the afternoon is not so strong, but in the small pavilion in the courtyard, Kang Yao, Yan Zhenfu, and Yang Ruoyi are busy bringing over the cooked cured rice, fried bacon and bamboo shoots, and white and yellow crabs.
"Teacher Yang, let's not call it simple eating! Look, how rich!" Kang Yao said as he lifted the lid of the pot, and the fragrant cured rice suddenly dispersed the cold air outside and got into their nostrils, "Hey, it's terrible, hurry up, hurry up, it's so fragrant!"
I don't know if she is really tired and hungry, or if the food made by Yang Han is really fragrant, Yang Ruoyi even sandwiched the bacon and bamboo shoots fried with chili peppers that she can't eat very much, and ate it with the golden and plump cured rice.
"Teacher Yang, let's go, this meal at noon today is hard for you!" Kang Yao held the cup of drinking water and smiled with Yang Han.
"It's not hard, I usually eat with Yiyi at home, and I do that. Life, it's just three meals a day, get used to it!" Yang Han smiled and clinked glasses with him.
