Chapter Fifty-Six: Taking Over the Kitchen
When Yuan Si got up the next day, she saw that the yard had been pulled with ropes, and the small flower cloth she had brought back was fluttering in the wind.
After she washed up, she was called over by the old lady for breakfast.
Corn paste inside boiled dough sheets.
Yuan Si pointed to the green lump inside and asked, "What is this, you won't add poplar leaves to it, will you?" ”
The old lady looked at her hellish look and was amused and laughed, "Don't worry, I know that you don't like that thing, how dare I go down, this is a wild vegetable, it tastes good." I also added meat to you, so eat it quickly. ”
Yuan Si was relieved at this time, picked up a bowl that had been filled and pulled it into his mouth, there was indeed meat in it, but it was very, very little, and it was estimated that there were not ten slices in this pot.
"Mother, our family is not short of food, can we eat something serious and cook well. Yuan Si was very helpless.
"What do you mean, why is this not serious?" the old lady was a little confused.
"Let's make porridge well, can we not put so much mess in it, if we want to eat noodles, let's boil it in water, and if we want to eat vegetables, we will fry it in oil, so that the pot will come down, everything is mixed together, and the originally delicious things are not delicious." Yuan Si has wanted to talk about this problem for a long time, but before there was little food and firewood at home, she was embarrassed to say that she had the heart to say, but now it is different, she has brought back so much grain, and there are so many wheat stalks outside, and it can be burned for a period of time when firewood, why can't she cook well.
"You go out here, you are so poor that you come back from learning a lot, this mushy porridge is cooked noodles and vegetables to eat, it is a way of eating handed down by the ancestors, no one has said bad for so many years, just you, there are many poor problems. "The old lady doesn't think there's anything wrong with the mush she makes, she has eaten like this since she was a child, and other people's families eat like this, and she didn't listen to anyone say anything. "Besides, there is only such a crockpot at home that can cook, as you said, everything is done alone, how much work does it take to eat, how much firewood does it cost. ”
"Isn't there those wheat stalks outside, burn them first, and if it's not enough, I'll go pick up some and come back and fill our firewood house." "Yuan Si really doesn't want to live in such a foolish way, she can cook and eat well.
"No, our firewood room is still full, and it can't be fitted. The old lady hurriedly spoke.
Yuan Sihu was suspicious, she hadn't been to the firewood room to see it when she came back, "I'm gone, haven't you burned the fire?"
"Can I be like you, even if I have it, I have to save a little water, I'm at home, a handful of firewood is enough to cook a meal, and it's enough for me to go out and pick up some when I have time." "The old lady is used to being diligent and thrifty, and she is reluctant to use it even if she is at home.
Yuan Si was speechless when she heard this, what was the use of the firewood in the room like her. No, two people with different living habits living together, there will definitely be contradictions, for the stability and unity of the family, only one person can be assimilated by the other, and then the pace can be consistent.
She decided that she must bring the old lady's reluctant temperament over, and she must work hard to assimilate the old lady into a comrade-in-arms of the united front.
"Mother, you work hard every day, and I will cook three meals a day at home in the future. She decided to work hard and start in the kitchen at home.
"Tired, tired, just that little work, how can I use you. The old lady really thought that her daughter felt sorry for herself, so she hurriedly comforted the child. "Besides, now that the fields are all harvested, there is nothing left to live, I am at home when I see the sky, how can I do it with you. ”
A six-year-old child said that he wanted to cook at home, and it was not without it in the village, but it was only a family whose family could not survive that only children were so forbidden, and no one in a good family did this.
"I just like to cook, and I like to eat my own cooking, mother, you just let me do it for a few days to see if it's okay, if I can't do it, you can always do it." "Yuan Si is dead and wants to share the work of the family.
The old lady didn't look like her daughter was joking, so she asked uncertainly, "Do you really want to cook?"
"Why not, didn't I just make the pot of pimple soup last night, how are you eating, is it delicious?" Yuan Si is still very confident in herself, she has been single for more than 30 years in her previous life, and of course she is a little expert in cooking.
"Cut, put that old lot of oil, that old lot of meat, it's delicious for a fool to make. The old lady said disapprovingly.
Yuan Simo, I can't talk about it this day, why did she become a fool.
No matter what, Yuan Si temporarily took over the kitchen at home.
After breakfast, the old lady wanted to wash the dishes, so Yuan Si grabbed it. Just watch her light the fire, sit in the crockpot and sit on the hot water, and then clean the dishes and chopsticks.
The old lady pursed her lips, muttered a "problem" and left.
Yuan Si didn't hear it, it's better than putting everything in the paste and cooking it.
After she brushed the crockpot, she poured water and boiled it, cut more than ten catties of bear meat into palm-sized pieces, blanched it in the water, and scooped it up for later use.
Of course, the water in the crockpot had to be changed again.
The old lady pinched her braids at the door, and saw that her daughter had two pots of water for a while, but she still couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing, pour this water when it is boiled, pour it when it is boiled, waste it is not wasted, and that meat, I see that you will be fished up in a short time after you go down, can it be cooked, you don't give all the meat to Huo Huo." ”
"Of course it's not cooked, I just blanched the blood in the meat with hot water, and this pot is the real one for cooking meat. Yuan Si said as she poured spices into the crockpot.
Sichuan pepper and big ingredients are must-haves, and she directly puts large grains of salt in the salt, but it is not the kind with a lot of impurities that she bought here, she brought it back from the Su country. In order to color, she also poured a lot of soy sauce, and finally picked up the sugar and scooped it into the crockpot one by one.
"Hey, what are you doing here, that's sugar, not salt. The old lady couldn't stand it watching outside, so she ran to the kitchen and snatched the sugar that her daughter was going to scoop.
Yuan Si took the spoon and watched the old lady hide the white sugar behind her, "Mother, I know that it is white sugar, and the braised meat is to put white sugar, and it will be delicious if you put more flavor." ”
The old lady doesn't care about that, and she doesn't think that her daughter will really do anything when she goes out, "I don't have to be so fresh, even if it's boiled in plain water, I eat it deliciously." ”
Well, it doesn't make sense, if the old lady is unreasonable, then no one can do anything.
"Okay, okay, no sugar, that's all. Yuan Si surrendered, and seeing that the ingredients were almost added, she put the blanched pieces of meat into the crockpot.
However, the crockpot is a little small, ten catties of meat are not old or young, and only half of the braised broth has overflowed. There is no way, it can only be marinated twice.
At this time, Yuan Si deeply realized that it was really inconvenient not to take advantage of the family style. In the near future, we must find a way to get a few cauldrons back.
