Cooking is a very happy thing, at least for Yuan Quan. But in recent days, happiness has slowly become something like a task to be done every day. It's not that the food is not delicious, but that the dishes are made without any thought.

When I was cooking, I was thinking about other things, thinking about the case, thinking about cultivation. In the kitchenware, however, I don't care much about the sound of the ingredients singing and the fragrance wafting out.

Now, people's incomes are higher, and science and technology, especially civilian technology, are no longer so expensive. Smart home has entered every household. There are all kinds of smart kitchenware, kitchen machines and so on in the kitchen. But why, there is no obvious improvement in people's diet, and there is even a decline. How many people have eaten three meals a day with takeout, are the things they eat really to their taste, and are everything that enters the digestive system healthy?

Yuan Quan thought about it, probably around 2014, with the promotion of Ah Li Pei, takeaway became popular all of a sudden, because with this mobile phone APP, you can use less money than usual, and you don't have to go out to enjoy what you want to eat. Yuan Quan also ate takeaway for a while, but found that this APP seemed to want to control his lifestyle and change his consumption concept, so he defined it as an e-wallet, which is useless except to pay bills!

So, let's have some time to cook a delicious meal by ourselves! It's a very happy thing to be able to eat the delicious food you make, and even happier is that others like to eat the food you make, and they rush to eat it!

Just after the Qingming Festival, the countryside in the Tianning region is overgrown with malantou, a wild vegetable that is not only fresh, but also fragrant when stir-fried. In the title of the book, it is called Ma Lantou, but most of the local ones in Ningbo are called Ma Lancao.

According to the book, the young stems and leaves of Marantou contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, potassium, vitamin B, niacin and other minerals and chemicals that are beneficial to the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Ma Lantou has a spicy and slightly cold taste, and has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and diluting dampness and reducing swelling. It is mainly used for the treatment of sore throat, boils and sores, jaundice, edema, dysentery, drenching and other diseases.

These vegetables were picked by Yuan Quan's parents from the vegetable patch on the edge of the house. The couple brought some family food to their home in the morning and took a bus for several hours, but they didn't even sit down for a while. After a long time, I drank a cup of tea, and then I went back, and I didn't let it be delivered......

Why is it that as I get older, I don't have the same intimacy with my parents as I used to? I don't know what to talk about. In the past, when I went shopping, I would hold my parents' hands and talk and laugh and go shopping. And now, it is usually Yuan Quan who leads the way in front and says something that is not at all homely as a seasoning...... I really don't know if it's Yuan Quan's own problem or if everyone is like this.

Let's not mention shopping, let's continue cooking. The practice of Ma Lantou is generally fried with some accessories, and the best ingredients are bamboo shoots, fat and thin meat, dried tofu, carrots and so on.

Before stirring up, you need to do some treatment on the maran grass, such as just removing the old stems, removing the yellow leaves, etc., and after doing these preliminary work, you need to go through the hot water again, because it is covered with fine fluff, if it is not too hot, it will affect the taste. After passing the water, drain it in a sieve and dry it. During this time, you can prepare other accessories.

Peel the bamboo shoots....... The bamboo shoots here generally refer to the thunder bamboo shoots. In the countryside on this side of Tianning, if you are lucky, you can find black bamboo shoots. This bamboo shoot is about the same length as the thunder bamboo shoot, but there is a slight difference in IQ in the details, the black bamboo shoot is thinner than the thunder bamboo shoot, and the shell is not black, but yellow-brown. Delicious and crispy!

However, Yuan Quan thinks that the most delicious bamboo shoots are winter bamboo shoots, and the taste is really fresh! There are also the first batch of yellow mud spring bamboo shoots, which are sweet and crispy, supplemented by fresh meat braised is the most correct way to open it!

Shred the black bamboo shoots with the shell removed, and cut the meat into small pieces, a little larger than the minced meat, not too much, usually the amount of two or three pieces of braised pork is about the same. Dice the carrots and dice the dried tofu.

Heat over medium-low heat, add bamboo shoots and meat pieces and stir-fry until browned, add carrots, and then add half a spoon of lard.......

You may ask me, why do you add lard when you add vegetable oil? It's not good to eat more lard. Yuan Quan knew that he couldn't eat more lard, but he ...... The lard is very fragrant. When I was a child, my favorite food was lard and soy sauce bibimbap, and I didn't need other dishes to eat several bowls of rice.

Cut the maran grass in the sieve into thin pieces, put it in the pot and start stir-frying with the other ingredients, probably see that it is mixed with other ingredients, the leaves are wrapped in oil, add the salt suitable for the taste, and then it is ready to cook. What, no MSG or chicken bouillon? Dishes with bamboo shoots and maran grass never need to be added MSG!

The most important point of stir-frying maran grass is the "amount of oil", adding less feels too dry, and more feels greasy. Of course, you can't fry it too much or undercooked, it has no taste when cooked, and it tastes like you're eating grass raw.

Everyone is ready for lunch in the living room, and separation is a way to better appreciate the people and time that are worth cherishing. The month of Yuan Quan's absence is really too long!

Except for Su Li, because now is a critical moment for her to study in the Investigation Bureau. During this time, she will be able to change from a supernumerary assistant to a full-fledged researcher, and her knowledge reserve will be even richer. In order to be able to go further together in the future, she was very herself during this time!

Xiao Yun and Xiaoberry had to go back to school in the afternoon to prepare for evening self-study, and the rest day was so short. Wen Bi sat on the sofa reading a book, while Diao Chan helped Yuan Quan in the kitchen, washing vegetables and serving vegetables. Xiao Xiao was responsible for dealing with the food that could not be contained, and the black and white dumplings that Xiao Yun brought from the master were chirping in the hands of the younger sisters, and they didn't know if they were hungry or uncomfortable being played with by them.

During that time, they were crazy about video games, everyone was like this, and Yuan Quan had to call them for dinner, and now it is much better, rather than playing games, it is better for everyone to sit together and chat and play interactive games. Monopoly, Texas Hold'em, 21......

Diao Chan no longer seems to worry about her mission, and every day is very fulfilling, in addition to dealing with the daily hell and ghost-related things, she has one more thing to do every day - cooking, at least one dish. But today is the lunch that Yuan Quan is in charge of, so she will bake some cakes for everyone in the afternoon. Diao Chan signed up for a pastry training class. In addition to making cakes, she also makes milk tea and coffee latte art.

Compared with the previous appearance of not being close to people, the current Diao Chan looks more like a gentle girl next door.

In addition to stir-fried maran grass, there is also pickled vegetable yellow croaker soup, potato beef brisket, corn pot rice, and spicy chicken...... As Yuan Quan raised the drink in his hand, everyone raised their glasses in unison and touched them together, shouting "Cheers~" in unison~"
