Chapter 593: Homemade Tomato Sauce (3/3)
"Let's go to the backyard and pick tomatoes!"
Zhang Feng put down the kettle and beckoned to Mao Ya with a smile.
The little girl nodded, followed Zhang Feng's ass with a smile, like a small tail, and the two of them, one big and one small, soon came to the vegetable garden in the backyard.
In the spring, a few tomatoes picked by Zhang Feng have climbed all over the shelves at this time, and the red tomatoes, water and spirit, emit dazzling light under the sun, shining like jewels, extremely beautiful.
"Crazy brother?"
"What's wrong?"
"Why do your tomatoes grow so well??" asked the little girl innocently.
"Hehe, because the madman takes good care of them, they are watered and weeded every day, and they also have to apply fertilizer and pesticides, so they grow well!" Zhang Feng smiled, of course, he would not say that this was because he watered auxin.
"Oh!" the little girl stood obediently on the side, quietly watching Zhang Feng pick the beautiful tomatoes one by one and put them into the vegetable basket.
"Come, eat a taste!" Zhang Feng picked a fist-sized tomato, wiped it and handed it to Xiao Maoya.
"Hehe, thank you, madman!!" The little girl swallowed her saliva and happily took the tomatoes that Zhang Feng gave her,
I tried hard to open my small mouth, wanting to bite the most flesh in one bite, but unfortunately the little girl's mouth was too small, although the action was exaggerated, but she only bit off a small piece of tomato.
"How is it?, is it delicious?" Seeing that Mao Ya ate with relish, Zhang Feng asked with a smile.
"Mmmm, it's delicious!" The little girl nodded heavily, thinking that the madman's tomatoes were really as delicious as watermelon.
Due to the abundant nutrition, the vines of several tomatoes are full of fruit, and the red color is very pleasant.
The family can't eat so much for a while, so Zhang Feng is going to pick all the ripe ones, and give some to Yiyi's family later, and the rest can be made into ketchup.
The method of making ketchup is very simple.
First of all, heat the water to sixty or seventy degrees, then put the cleaned tomatoes in hot water, cover the pot and boil until boiling, after two or three minutes.
After that, take out the tomatoes, peel off the skin, pour them into a clean container, and then keep crushing them to stir the tomatoes into a paste.
Finally, pour the crushed tomatoes into the pot, add a small amount of water and rock sugar, and heat for a few minutes until the sauce becomes sticky, and our tomato sauce is successful!
……
"Crazy brother?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Zhang Feng was immersed in picking tomatoes, and turned his head to see Mao Ya looking at him timidly.
"Crazy brother, I'm ...... Can I taste the cucumbers over there?"
"Haha, Mao Ya wants to eat cucumbers??"
"Mmmm!!" Seeing Zhang Feng's face, Mao Ya suddenly smiled and nodded.
"Okay, madman brother will pick one for you!" Zhang Feng smiled, put down the vegetable basket, took Mao Ya to Gua Teng, and found a cucumber that grew in this way, and after picking it, it was divided into two halves with a click, and it was generally given to himself, and generally to Mao Ya.
"Thank you, madman!!" Mao Ya took the cucumber and said politely.
Zhang Feng smiled slightly, and ate the cucumber in his hand with a click, it was fragrant and crispy, and there was a unique fragrance, which tasted so good, worthy of being a top vegetable that had been watered with auxin.
…………
"Xiao Feng is here?" The old man and Grandpa Zhou were drinking tea in the courtyard, and asked with a smile when they saw Zhang Feng coming.
"Hey, I brought you some tomatoes from the backyard, they grow too much, and you can't eat them at home!" Zhang Feng smiled and walked in with two catties of tomatoes.
"Hehe, yes, the tomatoes in your backyard are of high quality, almost the highest I have ever seen!" the old man did not hesitate to praise himself.
Therefore, the vegetables in Zhang Feng's backyard are indeed worthy of such praise.
Grandpa Zhou also smiled and nodded, and was also very satisfied with the vegetables in Zhang Feng's backyard.
Hearing Zhang Feng's voice, Yiyi walked out with a smile.
"You're here, madman!"
"Well, here's my freshly picked tomato!
"Thank you" Yiyi took the tomatoes, smiled and put them in the refrigerator.
"Madman, do you still have a lot of tomatoes?"
"There are still thirty or forty catties!" Zhang Feng estimated the next way,
"Then you can make ketchup or something?" Yiyi suggested with a smile.
"Hehe, in fact, I think so too!" I have to say that the two of them really have a heart, and they actually thought of it together.
…………
Second Uncle's Family, Mao Ya's Family, and Uncle Erniu, Uncle Dashan, Uncle and so on,
Zhang Feng sent one or two catties to each family, but in the end, you still had more than ten catties left at home.
In addition to leaving one or two catties to cook, Zhang Feng made all of them into ketchup and filled a medium-sized clay pot.
"Hehe, this ketchup should be enough for a few months!"
Looking at the full jar of tomato sauce, Zhang Feng's heart was also full of a sense of achievement, and he actually succeeded in sitting for the first time.
"Well, it tastes good!" Zhang Feng dipped some of his fingers and tasted it, the sweet and sour taste was very good.
In the future, when you eat noodles for breakfast every day, you can put them down, and they will definitely taste good.
And you can also send some to Zhang Yue every week, add some vitamins to the little girl, and tomatoes also have the effect of beauty and beauty, I believe the little sister should like it very much.
At noon, Zhang Feng made a tomato egg with tomatoes and a tomato egg soup.
After the eldest sister saw it, she jokingly said that she had eaten a tomato dinner today, and Zhang Feng suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
……
The breeze was blowing in the cool courtyard
On the white stone table is a plate of red tomatoes, and the water droplets are still hanging on it, and the water looks very attractive.
Zhang Feng sat leisurely at the stone table, looking at the countryside with relish,
"Crazy brother, we're coming!!"
After a while, the little ones who had finished eating came here again.
The little duckling, led by the big hair, the hairy little stone, and the two eggs followed behind, like a flock of chirping birds came to the yard.
"Wow, madman, your tomatoes are so big!" As soon as he saw the bright tomatoes on the table, the duckling's eyes lit up.
"Brother Madman, your tomatoes are delicious, Mom??" Xiao Shi also leaned over and asked expectantly.
Hearing the words of the little guys, Zhang Feng smiled, thinking that these little guys obviously want to eat their own tomatoes, so they have to play tricks with themselves, it is so cute.
"Of course it's delicious, do you want to eat it?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile.
"I want to eat!" hee-hee-hee...... the little ones said happily.
"Okay, if you want to eat, go wash your hands for me, and wash it before you can eat!!"
"Yay, thank you, madman!!"
The little one burst into cheers and ran happily to the water pipe.
