Chapter 29 Stir-fried cakes with cold cucumbers
Market.
The market is always crowded, there are always enough people and, of course, vegetables.
If you want to make good food, of course, you have to come to the vegetable market.
The wet market is different from the supermarket, although the supermarket also has fruits, vegetables and meat to buy, but if you want to eat the freshest ingredients, you still have to come to the vegetable market.
As a young lady, An Ran has never set foot in this kind of dirty, messy, and poor place, which is always damp, and there will be a bunch of wilted vegetable leaves every few minutes, piled up in a pile of all kinds.
Frowning and walking cautiously in the vegetable market, An Ran felt unhappy in her heart, the environment here is too bad, right? She was really afraid that she would accidentally step on something soft, or touch something that would stain her white skirt.
Shen Nan looked at An Ran's appearance and shook his head secretly, this kind of daughter, no matter how much they have, they always lack one thing, that is, ordinary heart.
"You've never been to a place like this, have you?" Shen Nan said casually while picking up the ingredients in his hand.
An Ran was already unable to deal with the dangers under her feet and around her, where did she have time to pay attention to him? Therefore, she didn't hear Shen Nan's words.
Shen Nan sighed softly, a fairy is a fairy, even if she goes down to earth, she is also a fairy, she will not become a mortal because she goes down to earth, their princess disease is innate, and it can't be changed at all for a while.
He didn't pay attention to An Ran, and chose his favorite vegetables by himself.
He has never treated anyone, but he has taken care of his grandfather for a long time, so he understands a truth, when a person is very sick, he can't use strong medicine, but step by step, little by little, so for An Ran's mother's current situation, Shen Nan feels that it is also such a reason.
People with anorexia, especially in very serious cases, can't go up and use any delicacies from the mountains and seas, big fish and meat to attract her, such greasy and special taste things will make her feel even more disgusted, not to mention how it tastes, just looking at it will make her lose her appetite.
For this situation, Shen Nan believes that the simplest side dishes should be used to open her appetite.
And Shen Nan already had a plan in his heart.
First of all, for patients, it is best to say goodbye to greasy, so in terms of staple food, Shen Nan prepared two ingredients, one is millet porridge and the other is fried cakes.
Millet porridge is known to everyone, have also eaten, millet is a healthy food, can be boiled porridge alone, can also add other auxiliary materials, such as jujubes, red beans, lotus seeds, pumpkins and the like, millet porridge in addition to delicious, its main effect is to nourish yin and replenish deficiency, in the folk there is a saying of 'raising people', which is why women who have given birth to children and confinement drink millet porridge.
Of course, millet has less protein content, usually with some other ingredients, the best ingredient with more protein is pork belly, but pork belly is not suitable for An Ran's mother to eat, so Shen Nan is ready to add a small amount of jujube to millet porridge.
If you want to talk about jujube, it is even more powerful, not only rich in protein, but also contains a high amount of vitamin C, which is greatly beneficial to the human body, not to mention that there has always been a saying that 'jujube replenishes blood and gas'.
Of course, millet porridge alone is not enough, Shen Nan also prepared fried cakes.
Fried cakes are simpler, in fact, the market sells snacks and cooked food places usually buy some pasta, such as steamed bread cakes or something, there is a kind of cake called 'green onion egg cake', this kind of cake is very soft, usually has several layers, very thin, cut this cake into small strips, and then add seasonings to stir-fry, the taste has a unique flavor.
This fried cake is used as a staple supplement to millet porridge.
As for the main dish, Shen Nan only prepared one, which was cold cucumber.
Cucumbers are not only rich in influence, but also very refreshing, with excellent taste, and most importantly, cucumbers are bright in color and verdant green, which can stimulate people's senses and bring appetite at the same time.
And in summer, the benefits of eating cucumbers to the human body are not half-starred.
An Ran's mother has a very severe anorexia, and at first she only ate these, which was enough.
Shen Nan has now bought a green onion egg cake, a piece, five yuan, and the jujube has also been bought, a pound of good dried jujubes, fifty yuan.
Now, he's picking cucumbers.
Cucumbers are usually divided into two types, one is shorter and lighter in color, and the other is longer and darker, and Shen Nan prefers the shorter one because it tastes better.
After buying four or five small cucumbers, Shen Nan suddenly caught a glimpse of a very large cucumber next to the stall, the cucumber was half a meter long, the thickness of the arm, the cucumber had turned yellow-brown, and the surface was covered with dry lines.
Shen Nan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly held it in his hand.
Of course he recognizes this kind of cucumber, this is the old cucumber, in the early countryside, there were a few such cucumbers as seeds, now because of the emergence of the seed station, there is no need to be so troublesome, so, the act of leaving cucumber seeds is becoming less and less.
However, there are times when cucumbers become thoroughly ripe for various reasons.
For this kind of cucumber, people also have a way to eat, peel and peel, remove the middle pulp, cut the flesh part of the melon into slices or small pieces, mix cold vegetables or make soup, it is very good.
It's just that the taste of old cucumbers is completely different from that of small cucumbers, and the taste of old cucumbers is sour, whether it is made into soup or mixed with cold dishes, it is sour.
But this acid is also a good remedy for appetizing.
Shen Nan was secretly glad that this kind of thing was something he encountered today.
"This cucumber is old, isn't it? You can't eat it, right?" An Ran said with a frown when he saw that Shen Nan was very interested in that extremely ugly big cucumber.
"Hehe, you don't understand this, right? Maybe in the eyes of others, this is dross that no one wants to want, but to me, it's a treasure. Shen Nan smiled.
"You're pretty good at eating, young man. The uncle who sold vegetables praised Shen Nan.
People of the older generation, who hasn't eaten old cucumbers?
"Uncle, help me weigh it. Shen Nan handed the gherkins in his hand to the stall owner along with the old cucumbers.
After weighing the cucumbers, the stall owner smiled and said, "A total of six pieces of five, give six pieces." ”
Shen Nan paid the money and continued to move forward with An Ran, and now there is only one thing left to buy, that is, Xiaomi.
Before this, Shen Nan asked An Ran if she had all the materials at home, and An Ran's answer was that their family's cooking was made by the nanny, and all the seasonings were complete.
After buying millet, Shen Nan smiled: "Okay, it's finally alive, let's go to your house." ”
"Ready?" An Ran paused for a moment, and then looked at the shabby few ingredients in Shen Nan's hand that she usually didn't eat, and said in disbelief.
"Of course, let's go. Shen Nan nodded.
An Ran asked tentatively, "Shen Nan, what do you want to cook for my mother?"
Shen Nan smiled: "Cold cucumbers, millet porridge and fried cakes." ”
An Ran's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't believe that Shen Nan only made such shabby things, this cold cucumber was too ordinary, and there was small rice, who wouldn't know how to cook it!
Besides, what the hell is fried cakes?
However, seeing Shen Nanchengzhu in his chest, An Ran couldn't say anything more.
PS: Yesterday the child pneumonia recurred, went to the hospital last night, and went to the hospital today, so in the last two or three days, there may be only one shift a day, and there is no time to code words at all.
