Chapter 371: Investigation Results (3/4)
Most of the seasonings at home are packed in large bowls, ginger, garlic and chili peppers, soy sauce, peanut oil, etc., there are special pots, but they are also different from those sold in supermarkets in the city, because the peanut oil here is freshly squeezed by the machine, and there is a special workshop in the town. (Note 1)
But despite the obvious glance, Murphy still looked for a while, and finally brought it to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi picked up the spoon on it and was about to add salt, but he dug and felt that something was not right, the texture was wrong, and the salt should not be so soft and sticky. His attention shifted from the pot to this large bowl, and when he looked at the crystal structure of this bowl of "salt", he immediately understood.
"Ahem!" Yang Yi quietly put it aside, pointed to the sea bowl containing coarse salt grains, and said, "Murphy, you bring that to me." ”
Murphy is not stupid, her big bright eyes have been watching Yang Yi's movements, and seeing that Yang Yi was ready to spoon "salt" into the pot, but took it back, she knew that she had taken it wrong.
Her face was so embarrassed that her face was hot, her ears were red, she pursed her lips, and brought the real salt to Yang Yi.
Dong Yue'e watched it for a while, and she also had a certain understanding of Yang Yi's cooking skills and put her mind at ease. However, she can't be idle, the kitchen is occupied by the children, there is really nothing for her to do, Dong Yue'e remembered the chicken outside that she was going to kill.
After Dong Yue'e went out, Murphy finally couldn't help it, she pointed to the sea bowl containing sugar, and asked Yang Yi in a low voice: "Yang Yi, isn't this salt?"
Yang Yi finally couldn't hold it back, and he laughed softly.
"You're still laughing at me, I don't understand!" Murphy hammered his arm in disgust.
Yang Yi added some water, covered the pot and stewed the vegetables, then turned his head, pointed to the sugar and smiled: "You taste it." ”
Murphy said, stretched out her finger and touched it gently, just washed the vegetables, her fingers were still a little wet, and suddenly her fingertips were stained with a thin layer of sugar, she licked it, and looked at Yang Yi with some surprise in her eyes: "It's sweet." ”
"Well, yes, this is sugar, you see, it's a little bit crystal clear, and then it's going to stick together. Yang Yi taught Murphy how to discern.
"But isn't salt also sticky?" asked Murphy, puzzled.
"It's different, refined salt is in powder, a little smaller than sugar particles, and they absorb moisture in the air, and the sticky appearance is not the same, the sugar cube will be more viscous, while the salt cube is not sticky. Yang Yi analyzed.
He smiled and said, "And ah, all we eat here is coarse salt, you see, it's all like this, you don't know, and I don't blame you." ”
"Hey, did my mother already see it just now? She must have thought that my daughter-in-law didn't know how to cook, and got angry, so she walked out. Murphy said reproachfully.
"No, how could she be angry with you? she just can't cook, what's the big deal?" Yang Yi said with a smile.
"But Yang Huan told me that your family likes a daughter-in-law who can cook. Murphy didn't relax, she frowned.
"Well, that's exactly what I thought before. But don't worry, don't you still have me? I'll just do it, they won't embarrass you with that. Yang Yi patted Murphy on the back.
"Tell me, how long have you been secretly studying by yourself?" Yang Yi changed the topic in order to make Murphy happy, and said with a smile.
"It didn't take long...... I didn't learn well, I still want to surprise you, it's just a pity ......" Murphy was a little sad.
"There are still surprises, but more than that, there are touches. Yang Yi grabbed Murphy, kissed her on the head, and said with a smile, "You stupid woman, you have suffered so much for me!"
"It's all you who are paying for me, and it's my turn to pay once!" Murphy felt sweet in his heart, but he still hammered Yang Yi's chest in disgust.
"No, you have to help me find out what you are talking about, and if she doesn't think it's okay, you have to keep teaching me until I know I will!" Murphy was still a little worried.
"Good, good ......"
……
Yang Yi doesn't have to probe Dong Yue'e's tone, because Yang Huan is already a little spy.
"Mom, how is my sister-in-law doing?" Yang Huan was helping to grab the wings and claws of the hapless gelding, and asked Dong Yue'e to cut its throat and bleed it.
This chicken blood is a good thing, Dong Yue'e followed it with salt water, and when the time came, the condensed chicken blood was boiled in the soup, and the cooked chicken blood was smooth and fragrant, and it was a rare delicacy when it was dipped in soy sauce.
"Your sister-in-law, what does she do? teacher, official?" Dong Yue'e asked rhetorically first.
"No, she's a big star, a big star who sings. You don't like to watch TV, if you like to watch TV, you can see her singing on TV!" Yang Huan laughed.
In fact, Murphy's programs were not visible on the TV in the commissary at the east end of the village, because the TV could only receive a few local stations.
"Singing?" Dong Yue'e frowned, "No wonder, she doesn't know how to cook at all, but she is iron, I don't know when she practiced a good skill, and there is a way to stir-fry." ”
"My eldest brother said that he was working outside and learned from other masters, and the food he cooked was really delicious. Yang Huan said, "Mom, actually, my sister-in-law can't cook, so it doesn't matter, right? How many girls in the city can cook? You see how many of the county students in my previous school and class can compare with the girls in our village, they are so big that they have never cooked." ”
"It's useless to have a relationship now!" Dong Yue'e was in a good mood, she said with a smile, "The children are so old, can I still stop them from being together?"
The chicken in Yang Huan's hand was still dying, although the blood had almost flowed, its wings and feet were still shaking violently, especially the last wave, which shook very badly, but after this momentum, the chicken burped, and a little hot stuff flowed out of its buttocks, dripping on the dirt.
Dong Yue'e let go of the chicken's neck, and then said to Yang Huan: "Besides, although I can't cook, I think that the daughter-in-law that your eldest brother is looking for is not bad." ”
Yang Huan asked in surprise, "Really, do you see it?"
This Yang Huan has already been subdued by Murphy's various gifts, and he has thrown himself into Murphy completely.
"Well, don't talk about how you look, people are very diligent, when she saw me pouring tea, she also came up to help, not like the woman your second brother looked at the beginning, I knew to sit down and wait to eat and drink. Although she can't cook, she is willing to squat in the kitchen with you to do things, and she doesn't squeak with this cold water in her hand in the winter. I heard that the girls in the city are all pampered, but your sister-in-law does not have this bad habit, she is a woman who lives a life. Dong Yue'e said with a smile to Yang Huan.
Although Dong Yue'e is illiterate and has not walked out of this valley, she has unusual wisdom, otherwise, how can she lower Yang Chonggui?
"That's it, anyway, my eldest brother can cook, and she's not one of them, as long as the two of them can live with peace of mind, it's fine!" Yang Huan said with a smile, "Mom, why don't I know, you are so open-minded?"
"I'm not your father, your father's stubborn temper, hum ......" Dong Yue'e was flattered by her daughter and snorted proudly.
