"Doctor Xu, you have to be a little more diligent in stirring, there is pectin in this thing, and the sugar content is so high, the more you boil, the easier it is to paste the bottom. ”

"Officer Wu, lower the fire of your stove one gear. ”

Li Erzhuang was busy with the work at hand, and at the same time, he had to instruct a few people.

Although there is a range hood, there is no water vapor in the kitchen, but it has been boiled for almost an hour, and the temperature in the kitchen has risen significantly, but the strawberry jam on the stove in front of a few people has also reached the finishing stage, and the bubbles are a bit like blowing bubble gum, and stirring with a wooden shovel is not as easy as before, of course, the fire under this pot has been locked up to a very small Cheng dù, Xu Yi even suspects that as long as a breeze blows in, the fire may be blown out.

Li Erzhuang turned off the fire in front of him, then turned around and said, "That's fine, you can leave it alone, I'll bottle it." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and put the thick gloves he had taken off again on his hands, turned off the fire of the steel bucket that had been boiling on the stove next to him, took it down, and went to get a pair of disposable gloves to put on his hand, and then turned around and removed the lid of the steel bucket.

Xu Yi looked down and saw that the steel barrel was full of glass bottles that were neatly stacked and all upside down in the steel barrel, and there was a barbed wire basket stuffed next to it, which contained a large number of lids.

Li Erzhuang reached into the steel bucket and picked up a bottle, flipped it over, and with the other hand held a bamboo shovel to scoop up the strawberry jam in the stainless steel basin, quickly put it into the bottle until it was full, and then took out a lid from the net basket and tightened it.

A bottle of crystal clear, jewel-like red strawberry jam is ready.

This was repeated until almost all the strawberry jam was loaded, Li Erzhuang stopped, Xu Yi looked at the strawberry jam that was left under each pot and could hold almost half a bottle and asked, "Uncle Li, aren't these strawberry jams loaded?"

"It's also loaded, but this one has to be dried, at this point, I'm going to give you some more honey into it, some time ago we cut honey once, it's all strawberry honey, there is a faint strawberry fragrance, this tastes better when you put some in it, but the honey can't be heated, so you have to wait for the strawberry jam to cool down before loading, but after all, there is yeast in the honey itself, so this is not long, take it back, eat it as soon as possible, even if you put it in the refrigerator, it is best to use it up within a week. ”

"That's right. Xu Yi nodded, if you want to make a bottle of sweet and delicious strawberry jam, you have to learn so much, you really have to study hard if you want to do anything well.

Waiting to pack all the strawberries, looking at the strawberry jam full of stoves, smelling the sweetness of the rich strawberry jam in the air, several people really felt a special sense of accomplishment, Sister Wang even took out her mobile phone and asked Xu Yi to take a few photos, saying that she wanted to keep it as a souvenir, and she could also show it to her daughter.

"Let's wait for this strawberry jam like this, wait for it to get cold and then put it in the box, you can sit down and eat some strawberries to quench your thirst, and I'll go see if my family's rice is ready." Li Erzhuang said and turned around to go out.

"Uncle Li, do you want to eat lunch so early?" Xu Yi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was just past half past ten.

"Hehe, in order to get there early, we all got up early in the morning, and got this point, not to mention you, even I was a little hungry, so I asked her to do it early. Li Erzhuang smiled and went out.

"Well, you guys sit down, Jin Min and I go to the room. Even at this time, Wang Jing didn't take off the sunglasses on her eyes, but it was always rude to wear sunglasses during this meal, so she thought about going back to the house to make up her makeup, which called Wu Jinmin to go over, but she was just trying to find an excuse.

Xu Yi saw Wang Jing pushing Wu Jinmin into the room, the door was also closed, stretched out his hand to pull Lin Zhengtian, and whispered.

"Director, I just saw that Sister Wang's eyes are surrounded by heavy dark circles, it is estimated that she usually wears eye cream, I can't see it, this is particularly obvious when I remove the makeup, just now she turned around, the sun happened to shine on her face, I saw the eye circles under the sunglasses. ”

"I can also see it, but don't say it, it will save her embarrassment, and it will also save Xiao Wu distress, it is estimated that Xiao Wu doesn't know that she can not be on the night shift. Anyway, when I go back the day after tomorrow, I'll go to the courtyard and talk about it, just if you didn't see it, alas. Lin Zhengtian also lowered his voice and said.

Xu Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although Li Erzhuang said that it was simple to eat, when it was time to eat, it was still a large table full of dishes, and the rich fragrance filled every corner of the room.

Li Erzhuang put a few people in place, turned around and walked out of the house, leaving only Wang Cuihua to greet a few people.

"It's too hot at noon, and it's not good to eat too greasy, let's just eat a little, it's all seasonal home-cooked food, everyone is here just like at home, you're welcome." Wang Cuihua said with a smile.

"These four dishes are cold dishes, namely cold salad malan head, cold salad cress, salted peanuts, and cold salad folded ear root. ”

"This Malan head, water cress and this Houttuynia cordata are all grown by us, and we have never used pesticides and fertilizers, so everyone should eat more. ”

"This is stewed pork ribs with spring bamboo shoots, and this is steamed bacon with moldy dried vegetables"

"This bacon is self-pickled, smoked with pine and cypress branches, the taste is much more authentic than the outside selling, my family Chengxiang said that there are a lot of bacon on the market in order to prevent insects, all of them have been pickled with dichlorvos, if you can not eat it, we can rest assured here, and ensure that there are no dead pigs. The meat and ribs are all native pigs raised in the village, of course, you have to say that it is impossible to feed without feed, the growth period is too long, the turnover can not be turned, and according to the earlier breeding method, this pig is also prone to disease. ”

"When we are all piglets, we directly feed the feed prepared by the village, and wait for the pig's shelf to grow, and I haven't eaten a mouthful of feed for three months before killing.

"Of course, if you are sick at this stage, you need to take injections and take medicine, which has to be specially written in the breeding file clearly what medicine is used, which day is used, and wait until there is no drug residue before slaughtering and slaughtering, if the pig dies of disease, it is directly harmless, whether it is my home or other places in the village, as long as it is produced in the village, you can rest assured that you eat it." ”

"Leek scrambled eggs must be eaten by everyone, but this leek is planted next to my fish pond, in addition to the farmer's fertilizer, there is nothing else, this egg is also the egg laid by the chicken on the mountain of my house, the taste is much better than foreign eggs, there is no fishy smell, everyone taste, and the vegetable field to buy a comparison, see how much worse. ”

"This is steamed dried fish, this fish is raised in the pond in front of our house, there is pasture grass on the mountain of our house, and there are vegetables in the field, so it has never been fed, and it grows slowly, but it is guaranteed that this fish is similar to the wild one, of course, this breeding must consider fish diseases, but we are using some soil methods to prevent and control fish diseases, when it is really not possible, only to use the agricultural technology station to introduce no residual medicine, and at least another month, this ensures that there is no residue of drug residues, and so on this year's fish you come again, I will make a whole fish feast for you。 ”

"This bowl is mussel soup, and we have this thing under the fish pond and the lotus pond in this yard, everyone can try it. ”

As soon as Wang Cuihua's words fell, he saw Li Erzhuang walking in with a round jar more than a foot high.

Xu Yi felt familiar when he saw this jar, and the local home-brewed rice wine was basically made from this kind of clay jar produced by the county's ceramic factory.

"Uncle Li, are you making your own rice wine or rice wine?" asked Xu Yi.

"It seems that Dr. Xiao Xu is familiar with this, oh, I forgot, you all like home brewing in that area, right? ”

"Yes, but my family doesn't make rice wine, but every time the rice comes down in the village, basically every household brews a little bit. ”

"This is rice wine, this jar was made by me five years ago, and it has been kept in the cellar, and we still have a jar of ten years old at night. Li Erzhuang said as he uncovered the white cloth sealed at the mouth of the jar, and a faint aroma of wine also came to his nose.

"Lao Li, your wine smells comfortable, but you seem to have drunk liquor before, why don't you drink stomach bleeding?"

"Yes, a few years ago, the living conditions were better, and I also thought that it was labor-intensive and time-consuming to make wine by myself, and the taste of rice wine was light, so I changed to drinking liquor, and every year I brewed a little wine and stored it there. Come, this wine is not intoxicating, everyone drink some. As he spoke, Li Erzhuang hugged the wine jar and poured it for Director Lin first.

"Brother Li, I don't know how to drink, really, I'll just drink this tea. Wang Jing watched Li Erzhuang reach out to take her wine glass, and hurriedly excused herself.

"Xiao Wang, it's okay to drink a little rice wine in moderation, this rice wine is rich in nutrients, and the content of eight essential amino acids in it is much more than the same amount of beer and wine. Moreover, rice wine also contains nutrients such as dextrin, maltose, glucose, lipids, glycerin, higher alcohols, vitamins and organic acids, which are easily absorbed by the human body, and zinc is an important component of energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Lin Zhengtian put down the cup he had just received and said to Wang Jing.

"For example, from the perspective of our traditional Chinese medicine, rice wine smells bitter, sweet and pungent. Drinking rice wine warm in winter can invigorate blood and dispel cold, activate meridians, effectively resist cold stimulation and prevent colds. Drinking in moderation can also help blood circulation, promote metabolism, and nourish blood and beauty. Xiao Wang, you have to drink more rice wine, which is rich in vitamins B1, B2, niacin, and vitamin E, and long-term drinking can also be beautiful and anti-aging. Lin Zhengtian only drinks rice wine, and for decades, this is the truth.

"The director is drunk from all his drinks. Xu Yi said with a smile, "But I really know that rice wine has a moderate alcohol content, and it is a good material for soaking medicinal liquor, which not only avoids the high alcohol content of liquor, but also does not make the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine like beer." In addition, you see that many people in the spring and autumn of the director come to him to prepare tonics, and many female colleagues in our unit don't all come to prepare Ejiao paste, this is to soak Ejiao, sesame, walnut kernels and rock sugar in rice wine, and wait for Ejiao to soften before it can be boiled again. ”
