Chapter Ninety-One: Jerky
Gu Xiaobei saw that it was still early, so he would simply take the car to the town to buy vegetable seeds later. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was thinking about it, and Li Fengmei came over to ask her to go to town.
The two hit it off, and rushed to take the car, but this time they didn't meet Chi Xiaoyue and others. On the way, Li Fengmei was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to trouble you." ”
"Say it." Gu Xiaobei has always been very bold with his friends.
"It's the sesame crepes you made that time, can you make some for me?" Li Fengmei was afraid that Gu Xiaobei would feel that she was taking advantage of her, and added: "I'll take noodles, oil, eggs, and buy some sesame seeds later." ”
Gu Xiaobei snorted: "Look at your politeness, make some cake noodles, I still have them at home, don't take it, or if you don't look back, Lu Zhan Guo will have to talk about me." ”
Li Fengmei's hometown is in Shandong, and it takes three days and three nights to take the train from the provincial capital, and now the weather is hot, and she is afraid of spoiling the steamed bread, thinking that Gu Xiaobei makes that pancake, which has less moisture, and it should be able to be put for a few more days without breaking.
"I'm mainly afraid that the children won't eat on the road, and it's okay for adults to endure it." Li Fengmei explained.
Only then did Gu Xiaobei react, there was nothing to eat on the train at this time, and the trains in this era were all green cars with hard seats, and there was no air conditioning in the car, so ordinary food could not be put away at all. I thought about it and had a plan in my heart.
The two got off the bus and went straight to the seed station in the town and bought vegetable seeds, Li Fengmei saw Gu Xiaobei's appearance of Chongchong, and reminded: "Buy this kind of seed back, you put it first, and then plant it before and after the beginning of autumn." ”
"Huh? Another month? Gu Xiaobei was a little disappointed.
Li Fengmei shook her head, it seems that this kid doesn't know how to grow vegetables at all, and said patiently: "Radishes and cabbage should be planted around the beginning of autumn, and when the time comes, you can ask other military wives, or ask the soldiers of the cooking class." ”
"Okay, let's go to the market and buy some meat." Gu Xiaobei didn't bother with this, since he didn't need to plant it now, he would hurry up and finish translating the manuscript in his hand, this time the original document was thicker, and the manuscript fee was estimated to be seven or eight hundred yuan.
Li Fengmei saw that Gu Xiaobei bought eight catties of beef at once, and dissuaded: "It's hot now, if you buy so much, it's easy to spoil." ”
Gu Xiaobei hehehe: "I have a way, I guarantee that it will not be bad." ”
The seasonings in the town are not complete, Gu Xiaobei turned around, and he didn't buy the bay leaves, nutmeg or anything he wanted.
Li Fengmei really bought half a catty of sesame seeds and ten eggs. The two of them bought all their things and hurried to catch the car. Or you'll have to walk back.
After arriving home, Gu Xiaobei changed his clothes, washed the meat in the water room, cut it into palm-sized squares, and stewed it in a large steel pot.
Because I didn't buy any seasoning, I only put salt, peppercorns, green onions and ginger. As soon as the pot was opened, the aroma of meat suddenly wafted to every corner of the corridor.
Only one person thought it was too bad. It's Xiang Min who is happy.
Xiang Min sat in the room with a bitter face, and endured the nausea that rolled up in his stomach. I hate Gu Xiaobei again in my heart, what kind of meat to eat on this hot day!
Gu Xiaobei sat in the room translating the manuscript and went out to look at the pot every once in a while.
I didn't bother to cook at noon, so I washed a cucumber and nibbled on it. The beef simmered slowly for almost three hours before Gu Xiaobei turned off the heat, scooped the meat into a basin, put it on the table in the house, and covered it with a gauze cover. No way, there are always a few flies, and you can't finish the fight.
In order to make the meat tasteful, more salt was put in, and the broth was salty and could not be drunk, so it could only be poured, and Gu Xiaobei felt distressed for a long time.
When washing the pot in the water room, Xiang Min came in with a pale face and glanced at her fiercely. Gu Xiaobei was a little inexplicable, for the sake of being a pregnant woman, he didn't care about her.
In the evening, the meat was also cold, Gu Xiaobei cut the cooked beef into small strips of one centimeter square, poured some oil into the pot, and put some peppercorns in the oil when the oil was hot, and then put the beef strips into it and stir-fried.
The smell of meat that finally dispersed, this will gather again, this time the aroma is even stronger, and several military wives who passed by to wash vegetables couldn't help but admire: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" So fragrant. ”
Gu Xiaobei smiled and flipped over the pot, "Beef jerky, I'll eat it in a while." "Eight catties of meat have been made, and you can make a lot.
Li Fengmei also smelled the fragrance and came out, leaning against the door and quipping: "You are planning to starve the big guys to death, make it so fragrant." ”
Gu Xiaobei didn't speak, saw that the meat was dry, and sprinkled a handful of sesame seeds on it and stir-fried. After coming out of the pot, put out a plate and let Li Fengmei taste it, and give it to other military wives who passed by by to taste it.
Li Fengmei pinched it and stuffed it in her mouth, and immediately felt that the meat was fragrant, and the jerky was chewy: "It's so delicious, it's so fragrant." He hurriedly let several other military wives taste it.
"Sister-in-law makes this so delicious."
"I've always disliked eating beef, and I think the meat is old and not rotten, but my sister-in-law's beef doesn't have to chew hard at all."
"Sister-in-law is so skillful." Several military wives praised one after another.
Gu Xiaobei said with a smile: "If you think it's delicious, a few of you will eat all of this plate." Otherwise, it just doesn't taste good. She was afraid that everyone would be polite, and she was embarrassed to taste the second piece. When a few people heard this, they happily gathered around and ate together.
Gu Xiaobei brushed the pot and fried another pot of spicy food, and when the fragrant and spicy fragrance wafted out, everyone praised it again.
Xiang Min was already disgusting and uncomfortable in the house, but now when he heard the laughter of a few people, he suddenly felt that Gu Xiaobei was doing it on purpose.
The more Xiang Min thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable, he angrily opened the door and yelled at Gu Xiaobei: "Gu Xiaobei, you did it on purpose!" ”
The few people who were talking and laughing were stunned, Gu Xiaobei's hand holding the spatula paused, this person is crazy. He glanced at Xiang Min and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"What do I mean? You know that I am pregnant, and you can't smell the meat, but you are good, the day has not stopped, and it is stewed meat and fried meat. What is it that is not a heart? Xiang Min said angrily.
Gu Xiaobei really wanted to look up to the sky and roar, Nima, this desire to add to the crime, there is really no excuse. But he said expressionlessly: "You can't smell meat, I really don't know." ”
Li Fengmei and other military wives also felt that Xiang Min was a bit excessive, not because she had a short mouth for eating others, but this was originally the case, you can't say that you are pregnant, and other people's families can't stew meat.
Li Fengmei opened her mouth to persuade: "Sister-in-law Xiang Min, you must have misunderstood, how could the captain's sister-in-law deliberately fix you." ”
Xiang Min snorted coldly: "Is she the best in her heart, don't just because you eat a few pieces of her meat, you can't tell right from wrong." ”
Li Fengmei was angry. How can this look like a shrewd person, this will be confused like this. Several other military wives did not dare to persuade them.
Gu Xiaobei flipped the pot and didn't raise his eyelids: "I really don't know how to deliberately target you." In my heart, I had to find a way to suppress this woman's arrogance at one time.
Xiang Min spit out all his unhappiness with Gu Xiaobei, "Isn't it because I pulled the bias last time, do you hold a grudge?" Why am I biased, you look at your usual times, you are lazy and spicy, and there are a few people in the courtyard who are good friends with you? ”
Everyone's eyes stopped at the entrance of the building, and they saw Lu Zhan Guo standing there with a black face, and Guo Huaqiang and Zhang Lijun standing next to him.
