Chapter 44: Braised Sweet Potatoes

Since today is noon on the first day of MM's arrival. I'm going to cook some light dishes. Zhang Ting knew that Zhang Niu was going to cook. They all advocated that they should cook the food. also said that Zhang Niu was blessed this time. Several eldest ladies cook themselves.

Rural kitchens are not as white tiles as in big cities, and there are no range hoods or microwave ovens. and a series of kitchen utensils. Zhang Niu: This kitchen is still newly built, and it looks quite clean. A mud stove made of dirt. Whitewash with lime. There is a gas stove in the corner. The kind of stand-up. A barrel of 90-fast gas is not as cost-effective for Zhang Niu as burning firewood. And the cooked food is also fragrant. Educated youths go to the countryside, and everyone still cooks a big pot of rice together. That one tastes good.

Fortunately, MMs are no strangers to this mud stove. I have relatives who live in the countryside. And every season, I will bring some fruits and vegetables to the door.

Originally, I was going to use a gas stove for lunch, but Zhang Tingmm and they wanted to try it on a mud stove. Zhang Niu, who had no choice, could only agree. Call them Mr. Fire. Go out and wash some food by yourself and come back.

The water used by Zhang Niu to wash vegetables is all made of bamboo on the mountain. Although the taste is not as good as space water. But these are pure groundwater seeping out, washed after the taro. Beans. Young pumpkin leaves. Sweet potato leaf stems. and so on for four or five kinds of vegetables.

took the washed vegetables and walked to the small kitchen next to the tiled house, and before he could get there, he saw Zhang Ting's mm standing outside the door. There are also a lot of leaves stuck to the head. When I saw this scene, I knew that I couldn't afford to burn the mud stove.

"You can't afford to burn a clay stove, do you?"

The MMs in front of the door all nodded and were embarrassed to say. Originally, in their eyes, this mud stove was very simple. But it's hard to do. Just lit up the firewood and put it in. It won't be extinguished after a while, but it won't be lit.

"I'd better burn it. Follow along and take a look. He beckoned to them.

Zhang Niu, who walked in the door, put the vegetables on the cutting board where he cut them. I went to prepare the mud stove. "Any of you, cut the taro for me. Don't go if you have itchy hands when cutting taro. ”

In the end, it was still a tall round mm, picking up a kitchen knife and cutting the taro. That cutting skill is still very good, Zhang Ting looked envious. Even Zhang Niu, who was sitting in front of the mud stove, raised his thumb. There are too few MMs who can cook now. Especially the post-nineties. When he was young, others asked him what kind of wife he wanted. Zhang Niu proudly said that he would marry Aunt Sanhua like that. Aunt Sanhua is outside to marry into the village. Virtuous. Kindness. The little furry children in the village at that time liked her very much.

Burnt mud stove. It's really hard to burn without technology. Before burning, use tongs to pinch a loose hair needle and ignite it, which is called "ignition". When the fire started, Zhang Niuxun folded some mulberry branches into it, and every household basically burned the mulberry branches. As long as it's not a rainy and wet day, it's better than dry bamboo. Put a few more firewood boards on the shelf, and basically no one will look at them. Under Zhang Niu's demonstration. MM also knows how to burn a mud stove. It turned out to be that simple. They have been busy for so long, and they can't burn. That's angry.

The fire is burning, and the next thing is to see the cooking skills of the MMs. The happy and idle Zhang Niu sat on a small bench in front of the mud stove. Looking at the mmmen who wash the pot and cook the dishes.

Zhang Niu admitted that he was inferior to them in cooking. The seemingly beautiful three MMs are actually experts in cooking. The dish is burned, color, fragrant, and tasteful. Gather all.

The noon dishes are placed under the trellis in the front yard. As soon as it was time to eat, the wild boar cubs, Xiao Hei and other animals ran under the table to eat. And they jump on the chair when they are old and small. Look at the dish. Just stretched out his little paw and patted back to Zhang Niu, who saw it. "Don't mess around. Either wait until you don't eat," and then reprimanded him and became honest. But I still looked at the dish.

A drink is indispensable for eating. Fortunately, Zhang Niu bought a whole box of canned Jianlibao yesterday and came back. Put it in cold water in the morning. If you don't have a refrigerator, you can use such a soil method, and to be honest, this landscape is not ordinary cold. If it is said that the horsemen who used to be on the road were very happy to see a cold puddle on the side of the mountain road, it is like not being in the mountains now. It's hard to figure out.

When eating, pour a small bowl of drink for Zhang Niu and "Xiao Budian". Now the little ones can also take the bamboo chopsticks and occasionally clip the dishes. The mms laughed when they looked at the clumsy appearance of the "little order" pick-up. In the end, Fang mm sandwiched a lot of dishes into the small dining bowl.

"Delicious. No wonder you want to say that I am blessed," said Zhang Niu, who was still struggling with the dishes.

"Cheap you stinky boy. The boys who want to eat the food we cook don't know how much to go to the sea. How can you thank us?" asked the round mm, who was holding the dish.

Zhang Niu swallowed a mouthful of food, "Ah." You have to pay for food! ”

Zhang Tingmm, who was drinking a drink, said, "How about taking us out for a walk outside the village in the afternoon?" We went to the countryside to experience it. "Waving a little fist.

"Then I can't go until I'm eating." But it's also hot. It's better to wait until later to go out. “

After Ma Li cleaned up the things on the table, he took them to the bamboo building to rest. It's the sun that is scorching right now.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tianqi was no longer so vicious, Zhang Niu took Zhang Ting and them to go outside. Morning glory growing on the side of the road. I picked it up vigorously. They also put a lilac morning glory on their own, and they looked so naughty that they looked quite ladylike.

When passing by the creek beach. Zhang Niu suddenly asked them, "Do you want to stew sweet potatoes here?" ”

"Okay. But is this place okay?"

No problem, when I was young, I used to stew sweet potatoes here.

Under the leadership of Zhang Niu, he sneaked into other people's fields. Pick out a few red-skinned sweet potatoes three times or two times. At this time, the sweet potatoes are not very large, and it is the time to grow.

Four people should have enough to eat five or six sweet potatoes. Fang mm, who was standing by and watching the wind, said that someone was coming, and the frightened Zhang Niu touched the sweet potato and ran away. Leave behind a crisp laugh. I knew that I played it for them. No one came at all.

It hasn't been long since the rice was harvested. The straw is tied in a cluster and dried on the edge of the ridge. I carried a few piles of straw in my hand. Dig a shallow pit out of the sand of the creek with a tree branch.

Bury the sweet potatoes in the pit. Straw is dotted on top. Then put on the branches. Just let it burn like that. The mms walked barefoot along the banks of the streams and turned over the stones. Occasionally, when you catch something, you burst into laughter.

Zhang Niu, who had not gone into the water, was burning firewood on the side. If you don't pay attention, if you let the fire burn too much, you will be burned into charcoal. Can't eat.

After burning a lot of firewood, you can smell the aroma of sweet potatoes by cutting through the charcoal with a branch and peeling off the sediment. "Fortunately, this stew is good, or I will be ashamed. Then beckon the MMs who are still playing to eat sweet potatoes together.

The second is more, if these chapters are not well written, please see the cool. Thank you for the reward and support under the bright moon. Ask for recommendations and collections, and don't keep some of them.
