Chapter 21: A Table of Food
"What's wrong Binzi, second sister, she's not feeling well?"
The aunt next to her was joking, but she didn't expect Zhu Bin to rub her hands, and a shy smile appeared on her thin face: "Second sister, she is pregnant with a child, but the doctor said that she is a little older, so don't hurt carefully." I don't dare to let her do housework at home, but she is an idle person. I'm not nervous about her. ”
"Oh, this is a good thing, too, the second sister is almost thirty, this is the first child, you have to be careful. The aunt put down the needlework in her hand and wanted to go to the kitchen to call her out, but was stopped by Zhu Bin.
"Auntie, don't worry, let the second sister go, it's rare for her to be so happy in her heart. Listening to Zhu Bin's words, the big guy's heart was sour and happy.
Zhu Bin is forty-five years old this year, and he and his ex-wife are also sons born in their thirties, and the eldest is exactly fifteen years old at this time, and the second child is so much younger than his brother when he is born, so it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
They didn't say a word here, and then they saw Second Sister Zhang running out, holding on to the wall and vomiting a few times, so frightened that Zhu Bin hurriedly went over to help his wife, at a loss.
"It's okay, it's just that Xiaoxin is fishing, I'm fishy, let me do it slowly. ”
Chen Xin's voice came from inside, saying that the red bean soup had just been cooked, and there were wine-stuffed balls with eggs, and the second brother-in-law was asked to take it out and moisten it for the second sister.
Zhu Bin helped his wife and didn't know whether to serve the soup first, or settle his wife first. At this time, the aunt next door took the initiative to help and came out with a tray with a few bowls on it, which contained small balls of honey and red bean paste, as well as small balls stuffed with wine and eggs.
Zhu Bin brought his wife wine-stuffed balls, and he almost didn't feed them himself. The second sister was so irritated that the tips of her ears were red, and she glanced at her husband, first beckoned the old lady to serve a bowl with her aunt, and then served her husband red bean soup, and finally ate the bowl of wine-stuffed balls that her husband brought her.
It's not that he is reluctant to give her husband eggs, the main reason is that Zhu Bin is allergic to eggs, and he feels uncomfortable eating them. Unexpectedly, even Chen Xin took this into account, and Second Sister Zhang felt better about this brother's sister-in-law.
"Second sister, the eldest uncle and eldest brother have gone to the back to cut bamboo, let the second brother-in-law call them after eating, don't make too much, just enough to eat." ”
"Ah, eating bamboo?" Second Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the old lady.
"Xiaoxin said to get us some bamboo rice, your father and your brother will go to the back mountain to cut bamboo, they just walk on the front foot and you will arrive on the back foot. ”
"What is bamboo rice? Cooking rice with bamboo?"
"Auntie, I know. "Zhang Zhang's little fat man can speak more fluently now, before because he was unfamiliar, he didn't like to speak, but now it's been a few days, and he also knows that this is an elder who loves him, so his lively temperament on weekdays has slowly shown.
Hearing his aunt's words, the little fat man raised his hand: "Auntie will make a delicious meal with bacon sausages and small mushrooms, put it in a bamboo tube, and bake it on the stove." Delicious!"
The little fat man's language ability is only at the level of a two-year-old child, and it is very difficult to be able to explain things clearly, plus he snorted at the end, and the appearance of the little gluttonous cat suddenly made his grandmother and the uncle next door laugh.
"Bamboo rice was originally popular among the Miao people, but then it was spread to the outside world, and now some restaurants can make it, but it is still difficult to make it delicious. I ate it a few times when I went to Nagumo on a business trip before, and it tasted very good, with a fresh smell of bamboo. ”
Zhu Bin wanted to be more knowledgeable, he gave an explanation, and everyone had great expectations for the bamboo rice.
In addition to the bamboo rice, Chen Xin also plans to make a double pepper fish head, a storm fish fillet, then sauerkraut and rake loach, and then a mountain pepper roasted hare.
The chicken is made into a white-cut chicken, the chicken head and chicken fart, the chicken feet are placed as they are, it looks like a hairless chicken lying on the plate, and the soy sauce and vinegar, white sugar monosodium glutamate, Sichuan pepper oil, ginger, onion and garlic are mixed with a bowl next to it. This seasoning can be poured directly over the white cut chicken later.
When she chops the chicken, she puts the marinated fish head in a large basin and steam it. This fish was caught by Brother Zhang and the junior next door in the river last night, it weighs seven or eight pounds, it is fat, strong, big, and tender, just one fish and two eats.
After cutting the chicken, she cut the body of the fish in half and cut the big thorn at the belly of the fish, leaving two white and tender fish meats. Then the fish is sliced into thin slices, flavored with salt and pepper, and set aside to marinate for a few minutes.
Wash the cutting board again, chop the washed green and red peppers separately, then pat the ginger and garlic and chop them, wash and cut the chives picked from the ground and cut them into green onions for later use.
When these are ready, the fish head is almost steamed.
I changed the big plate again, carefully moved the fish head to the plate, and then spread the green and red pepper flakes on the two fish heads, sprinkled ginger and garlic on top, mixed a little rice wine, pepper and sugar, and added some soup that steamed the fish in the basin just now, poured it on the fish head, and continued to steam for three or four minutes.
This is because if the chili peppers are steamed together before, they will be steamed badly and will not be formed, and the soup will be too spicy, which is not good for the stomach of the elderly. This can effectively reduce the spiciness, and as soon as the hot oil is poured at the end, the aroma suddenly bursts out, and people can't help but swallow their saliva.
When she steamed the fish for the second time, she took the pot and put the oil on the smaller stove next to her, and after the oil was warm, put the ginger slices and peppercorns into it, and then put a handful of peppers into it and stir-fry it, and when the color of the peppers turned slightly yellow, she quickly scooped it up with a colander and drained the oil and put it aside for later use.
After the bean paste is fried until fragrant, add water, then throw in the shallots and a small handful of garlic cloves, wait until the red water boils, put in the bean sprouts and finely chopped lettuce shreds, and then scoop them up and put them in the basin on the side to make the bottom of the dish. Once the vegetables are cleaned, the marinated fillets can be added. The fillet is very thin, and when the water is boiled a few times, it becomes a snow-white slice of meat. Scoop it up and spread it on top of the cooked pad vegetables, then pour the fish soup into the basin as well, then put the fried chili pepper and peppercorns on top of the fish, scoop a spoonful of minced garlic and pour it in the middle. Finally, the pot is washed and the oil is heated, and a spoonful of hot oil is poured on the minced garlic, making a stinging sound, and the soup, which originally looked a little dull because of the scalding vegetables, was suddenly covered with a thick layer of oil and water.
The loaches are cleaned up the night before they are oiled, fried with sauerkraut and simmered in a crockpot before cooking fish, on the eye behind the stove. Two eyes, one simmering water and one simmering vegetables, is very convenient.
Mountain pepper hare is a home-cooked dish, and they often eat it here, and it is quick to cook, and it can be cooked in half an hour. Coupled with the big bone radish soup stewed the night before, two quick vegetables were stir-fried, and the table was full of food, and it was ready to go.
