Chapter 385: Taste It
At dusk, when the night meal was shining, the first party of the plan really saw the legendary farmhouse rice cake that they had been thinking about for a long time, and the vegetable porridge with only vegetables and rice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was cooked by Qin Lao Niang herself, and she boiled it in a small casserole by the stove.
It's basically the simple appearance that an ordinary farmer's dinner table should have.
As for the special use of the word "basically", it is really because of the tea and rice of the Qin family, even if it is pushed forward for 30 years, the first days of the family are the most difficult years, but because of the fact that Qin Lao Niang will live, the tea and rice at home are very different from the tea and rice of ordinary Zhuang families at that time.
Speaking of indica rice, rice cakes, clear soup and porridge that can't even stand up with chopsticks, as well as the nest head of miscellaneous grains, and coarse flour cakes, these are actually the food that Qin Lianhu's brothers used to satisfy their stomachs.
It's just a rice cake, it's a smart and clever housewife, it's really a helpless move that I came up with after I had no clues, to be honest, it's really not delicious.
It can only be said that it is rice in the end.
Even if it's rice, it's always better than those dry, coarse, hard-to-swallow coarse flour dumplings.
In addition, whether the head of the family is a good hard rice or a soft rice, and how to remedy the rice sandwich when it is accidentally born, this is the first thing in the housewife's heart.
Once the meal is not ready, the scolding is enough, and the slap and the soles of the shoes should be greeted together.
Therefore, most housewives basically have a scale in their hearts, practice makes perfect, but they basically can't turn over even too big a trick.
But in comparison, vegetable porridge is different.
Throughout the year, with the listing of all kinds of seasonal melons and vegetables in the vegetable garden, there are a lot of tricks in the pot.
In addition, because Qin Lao Niang grew up in the pot, the same ingredients are naturally more delicate to deal with than those from others. It can always make the family eat as much as possible while eating a full meal, which is actually a better mouth.
It is not so that people will hurriedly pick up their chopsticks after barely driving away their hunger.
Take this green vegetable and radish as the main fresh melon vegetable in winter, which is enough to be turned upside down on the dinner table in winter.
Whether it is a pot of stewed vegetable porridge or stir-fried vegetables to make soup, Qin Lao Niang's handling of ingredients will naturally not be like other people's busy livelihoods day and night, and there are no other things on the simple stove at home except for salt shakers and oil bottles, so there is basically neither time nor conditions, and it can be said that there are housewives who have no cooking skills at all.
The greens and vegetables are hastily peeled off the rotten leaves outside, the radish washes off the mud covering the top, the blunt knife "clicks" and chops twice, and then the large pieces are thrown directly into the pot.
But in the hands of Qin Lao Niang, even if the green vegetables and radishes that have been twitched in the stomach have already been eaten, even if they can't spare any time, they must be split horizontally and thinned before they are cut, and the radishes must be cut into small and small hob pieces before they can be put into the pot.
This is already a subconscious behavior engraved in Qin Laoniang's bones.
Same as many years ago, Qin Lao Niang is also accustomed to cooking vegetable porridge like this today.
Although I have learned from the lobby brother that the first line of the plan is to come to experience the purest farm life, it is as simple as possible, except for a small half bowl of indica rice and a small handful of Liaodong rice, it is green vegetables, radish, and a little salt.
But it also looks innocent and pleasing to the eye. And it tastes light and thick, so there is no problem with a full stomach.
Qin Lao Niang was quite satisfied, but the Du family was a little hesitant when they looked at it.
Du Shi came over and whispered and implicitly said to Qin Lao Niang: "Mother, do you really give those little sons this porridge and rice?" I'm afraid, it's not easy to restrain it! ”
Although Du Shi grew up eating vegetable porridge and rice cakes when she was a child, and in her cognition, as long as she pays a little attention to cooking skills, even if it is green vegetables and radish, even if there are no condiments, at least it will not be unpleasant.
But after all, I have eaten enough.
I know very well that whether it is a vegetable porridge with a clear soup and little water, or a rice cake that is so loose that it is soft and listless, and it is so listless that it can't talk about the taste at all, even if she lets her own little characters come to eat, although she doesn't dare to say anything on the face, she is still sure of this, but they must be bitter in their hearts.
I'm used to eating rice, white flour, sweet and fatty meat, where can I still get used to eating this mouthful.
What's more, it's still a little boy from a big family, how to say it, don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine, this is the attention of a big family.
What's more, if such a noble person has the same stomach, if he eats badly, then what can he do, and who can afford this responsibility.
How could Qin Lao Niang not understand what Du Shi meant, so she smiled slightly; "It's okay, just let them taste it......"
When the two casserole porridge rice were directly served on the table, Brother Lobby said the same thing to everyone.
Let's give everyone a little more, but just taste it.
The first few of them all stared at the steaming porridge in front of them, and with what little common sense they had about life, they all felt that it didn't seem to be much different from the porridge and rice they had eaten in the past.
I even think it's clean and refreshing, and I feel quite appetizing just by looking at it.
I don't know if it's because I'm really hungry because I threw myself on the water mill for a long time in the second half of the day.
After listening to Brother Lobby's words, they all responded, but they were not too vigilant in the end.
got up and thanked Mrs. Qin and everyone, and sat down to eat rice and porridge one by one.
The cousin at the head of the plan was the first one who couldn't wait to taste the rice cake, but as soon as the chopsticks and rice were in his mouth, he was a little dumbfounded.
In the Fang family, even the rice eaten in the Fang family's study is Liaodong rice, and the rice made is sweet, soft, smooth, large, sticky, and has a unique fragrance.
Although the first few of the plan are not picky, they have long been accustomed to the taste of Liaodong rice, and they have almost never eaten indica rice that seems to have a rough taste in comparison.
And although the texture of indica rice is relatively hard, and the cooked rice is oily and loose, the boiled rice cake is loose and excessive, not only one by one, but also not strong, it feels soft and hard and slag, and it is not very tasteful at all.
The cousin of the head of the plan only chewed it, and the whole person was choked there, and he couldn't chew or swallow it at all.
The elder brother in the lobby who was sitting next to him saw it clearly, and hurriedly signaled that he didn't need to eat anymore if he couldn't eat, and wanted to refill the bowl of rice cooked from one Liaodong rice and two indica rice that he often eats at home.
Only the cousin of the head of the plan sat opposite the head of the plan, how could he have the courage to serve the meal and not eat, so he hurriedly stopped the hall brother: "Brother Qin, I haven't finished eating yet!" ”
He swallowed hard, and swallowed half a bowl of rice cake in a big gulp, and then carefully scooped half a spoonful of vegetable porridge to eat.
Two green leaves, a white radish, and then a dozen flowering rice grains, and a fairly clear rice soup.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to be able to see the human figure, but after taking a small sip of rice soup, it is indeed much more bland and tasteless than they imagined.
……
Since the first group of the second half of the plan came to the house as a guest, in order to avoid suspicion, Lilac was led by Fennel to nest in the inner courtyard.
Fennel is just going to pay it back, but in just a few hours, it will naturally not be unable to sit still.
But Lilac soon couldn't sit still.
In order to relieve the boredom of fennel cloves, I have to run over from time to time to talk to my sisters about what the lobby brother led the first line of the plan to see something.
After hearing that they had visited their own east and west courtyards, climbed the fort wall, and went to the water mill, and were especially interested in the operation of the mill, Lilac was a little interested.
But when she listened to it again, Lilac was a little dumbfounded.
After counting them with his fingers, his shoulders and head drooped, and he asked Xiangye in disbelief: "...... That is to say, they are going to Lotus Dang to wrench roe deer chickens tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they still want to see and see Da Chongtang Town, doesn't that mean that the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow, will go home? ”
Xiangye nodded: "Well, it seems like this." He pouted again and asked Lilac: "Third sister, can't you follow us tomorrow to pull roe deer chickens?" ”
Lilac was stunned by Xiangye's question, and stayed for a while, almost crying: "It seems that it can't!" ”
This is disgusting in my heart, but it's hard to say anything, after all, it's the lobby brother who brought home as a guest, and he can't put emotions on his face.
But in the end, the whole person was slumped, and when she heard the pepper fragrant leaves tell her again, when Qin Lao Niang was cooking rice cake and vegetable porridge, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't like to eat, where can they eat that." ”
And when they knew that the first four people of the plan really almost ate half a pot of rice, cakes, and half a pot of vegetable porridge, they opened their mouths wide and didn't close them for a long time.
After coming back to his senses, he repeatedly asked the pepper and bay leaves: "Did they really eat it?" ”
The peppercorns and bay leaves nodded in unison.
Not only the cloves, but the Qin family was also taken aback after knowing that the first four people of the plan swallowed it raw, and then were affected by the head of the plan to chew it slowly and slowly feel the taste of porridge and rice.
Including the lobby brother.
Although Brother Lobby knew early on that the classmates in the Fang family's family had few habits of being sloppy, especially the head of the plan, who was the son of the Fang family who had been carefully cultivated to inherit the sect, Zhilan Yushu, a humble gentleman.
But even so, when he heard the words of the head of the plan, "Since you can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, you should naturally eat coarse tea and light rice", he still admired him in his heart.
It can also be seen from this that it is really not for nothing that the Lianxi Fang clan can become one of the best families in the south.
Even Father Qin and Lady Qin were emotional.
But in the end, Mrs. Qin still told the lobby brother who would stay in the guest room of the main courtyard and be the companion of the first person of the plan, so that he could pay attention at night and be careful that they ate their stomachs.
And when Xiangye told Lilac what had happened, Lilac, which was like a blanched little green vegetable before, gradually became moist, nodded, "um", but when I thought that I couldn't go to the roe deer chicken tomorrow, I still felt a little aggrieved.
And in the guest room of the main courtyard, the first cousins of the plan were also a little panicked.
But it wasn't because the Qin family didn't entertain them well, or because the rice cakes and vegetable porridge didn't match their stomachs.
Although the porridge and rice cake were really not delicious, they were not very arrogant.
The Qin family can eat it, and they can naturally swallow it.
The reason why they are panicked in their hearts is entirely because although they have always known that "every grain is hard", and the first year in the family is either soup soup or rice, but they never know what life ordinary people live.
Especially the cousin didn't quite understand, but the head of the plan knew something, and knew that the porridge and rice of ordinary people were probably far inferior to the Qin family.
Not to mention the side, at least it is impossible for ordinary people to have three dishes and one soup on the table, a large meat and a small meat carefully cooked and seasoned dishes to accompany this bowl of rice cakes.
The plan was born in a family of eunuchs, and the family's ambition was to serve the imperial court and govern the country and the country.
Really tasted the rice cake head and vegetable porridge, and then thought back to what Brother Lobby had said to them before, on the dinner table of the Zhuang family, there are common coarse flour cakes and nest heads that are not as good as rice cake heads and vegetable porridge......
How can I not have the slightest emotion in my heart.
It was only then that I knew in a trance that Brother Lobby's down-to-earth footing, which was different from their work, came from.
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed for a long time, the head of the plan still got up in his clothes and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he brought with him, but he had something to say and didn't vomit unpleasantly.
Just started to pick up the pen, the head of the plan heard the sound of "squeak" opening and closing the door next door, and then the knock sounded, as expected, it was the cousin who ran over in clothes, but I don't know why, I actually covered my nose with a handkerchief.
When he walked up to him, he put down his handkerchief and bowed, and then leaned over and whispered to him: "Big brother, when our house goes, let someone send some silver frost charcoal to Brother Qin's house!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the charcoal basin on the ground, and then spread the white handkerchief embroidered with orchids in his hand to the head of the plan: "Brother Qin's household is firewood and charcoal, which makes my eyes swollen and my throat itchy, and in this nose, you see, I can't stand the black ash of my nose, not to mention the old man and the old lady of the Qin family, and those little girls, I'm afraid I can't stand it, it's really too sinful." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at the pen and ink laid out in front of the head of the plan, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said with a sigh: "It's so late, do you still have to practice calligraphy?" ”
