Chapter 44: Gains and Losses
Later, Han took over the baked shortbread. Li Yao hurriedly made noodles and sorghum noodles again. Xi Bao Bao is also called daughter-in-law cake, this kind of cake is actually a Chinese dessert. It is fluffy and sweet, the ingredients are simple, and it can be held after cooking. It requires flour, eggs, oil, and sugar.
Peanut oil is the best, but there are no peanuts here, so Li Yao has to still use lard. The white sugar was colored because it was made of braised pork, so I also bought a catty.
If you like to use dough, it is not difficult to solve it, because Li Yao left old fat noodles before.
In order to avoid the steamed steamed buns and sour hair, the alkaline noodles she uses are boiled dry with water soaked in plant ash. In her previous life, her parents divorced at a young age, and her mother put her in her grandmother's house in order to earn money to support the family. When there was no alkaline noodles, her grandmother burned alkaline noodles once or twice.
In fact, there are some things that are not difficult to do, but the ancients couldn't do them, either because they didn't have such things, or because they didn't think of them. The trick of making some things is actually very simple, just like through a layer of window paper, if you don't pierce it, it's really hard to understand and figure out!
While waiting for the noodles to ferment, Li Yao began to make braised pork again. This was originally pioneered by Su Dongpo University, but he didn't know where he was at this time.
It took nearly two hours to get to the point of eating. Because there were many people eating together, after the braised pork was ready, Li Yao added three large radishes to the boiled braised pork.
In the era when there were no potatoes and vermicelli, cabbage did not grow in this season, and she did not remember to buy other vegetables. So she had to pick up the big radish that was a little embarrassed in the kitchen, cut it into pieces and added it.
She bought leeks from the old couple at the post station from the vegetable field, and planned to steam the leeks and egg buns to eat. Leeks are not worth two dollars, and the old couple at the post station did not ask her for money. So she planned to make a bun and save a few for the couple. As for the bun wrapper, use mixed noodles with sorghum flour and flour, so that it will not cost too much white noodles.
Because of the lack of bread making skills, people here can't even eat the steamed buns we usually eat. It can be seen how scarce the types of pasta are at this time!
In the end, Li Yao divided the prepared meal into two portions. The extra one is to make a difference. The staple food she makes is shortbread, sweet dumplings, and sorghum noodles. The soup is leek egg drop soup. I made two salads, garlic spinach and toon tofu. Stir-fried garlic sprouts and stewed braised pork are two hot dishes.
She originally wanted to make tomato and egg drop soup, but then she realized that there were no tomatoes here, so she had to pick up leeks to make soup.
In fact, after the appearance of such things as peppers, potatoes, and vermicelli, the varieties of Lu cuisine in her hometown became more abundant. Li Yao can only say this, she doesn't know much, if you want to talk about some pasta, she knows some.
She loves pasta, and two years before she crossed over, she was in the window period of love. At that time, she was disheartened, and if she didn't have to go to work during that time, she actually wanted to stay at home. Not to mention the happy event of meeting friends and classmates getting married in reality, let's just say that when she sees the tenderness and sweetness in the TV series, as well as the happiness of the stars in the media, she is very congested and will be cranky. In addition, she always had insomnia, so she learned to make cakes and noodles from her distant uncle with an apprentice after work.
In this way, you can not only occupy your mind, but also exhaust your body in the process of doing it. That way, she won't be cranky, and she will sleep better at night. didn't think about it, just the accumulation of that time made her like cooking, especially like to follow her uncle to make pasta.
Uncle Tang's family and the Fu family have not waited for backup until now. She could only think of the good. It may be because the aunt Wu, the grandmother of the cousin, the maiden family of the Shen family, and the Fu family are all from the south, so these relatives will not be able to come for a while.
She heard from her mother that the Fu family was especially special in several families. The daughters-in-law of the Fu family's three rooms are all official eunuchs, and because these eunuchs are under heavy surveillance, they can't lend a helping hand to help the Fu family.
Regarding the matter of the old emperor's edict, the Han family is also not clear. However, after listening to her daughter's question, she only avoided people and bit her daughter's ears and said: "I don't know if there is one, but where is the edict so good, isn't this new emperor the one who took the edict to the throne." Could it be that there can be two copies of the edict? But your grandfather won't say anything about these things, so don't ask more. ”
At that time, Li Yao thought, Han didn't know about these things, and he didn't say anything when he asked his grandfather, so it seemed that it was not easy to figure it out. Coupled with the fatigue of spending days on the road, she no longer thinks about this unanswered thing.
Her cousin's family was implicated by her family, so her family took care of her cousin's family along the way. In fact, although Uncle Cousin's family has no relatives to help, Uncle Cousin's family has accepted everything given by Jian Yichen. As for how much money his family has, she really doesn't know.
Just like now, she obviously cooked her cousin's family's food, but they bought a few good dishes in the restaurant outside.
The Fu family is the most down-and-out, and no one has come to help, and now they have to rely on a few families to help. Li Ying and Fu Jingheng of Uncle Tang's family are fiancées, so the Fu family mainly relies on Uncle Tang's family for help.
If it was Li Yao at this time, she would definitely regret not taking the silver given by Jian Yichen at that time. But Fu Jingheng's approach, she can also understand. People are like this sometimes, and if you don't eat steamed buns, you have to fight for breath. Ay......
Seeing the meals Li Yao cooked, Wu was indifferent. She felt that the food cooked in the restaurant would definitely be better than Li Yao's. In the past, she had never heard of this niece having tea and rice skills, and she wanted to come to this niece as a flower shelf.
Shen has always listened to his son. The son married a strong daughter-in-law, and she naturally relied on her daughter-in-law, Wu. The crisp cold spinach, even though she looked a little greedy. But Wu said that it was not uncommon, so she stopped watching it.
"Cousin An, give you a taste." Seeing Li An's posture of lowering his head and trying his best to hide his swallowing saliva, Li Yao casually took the happy dumplings to Li An. This kind of dessert is generally loved by children.
"A-Yao, no need, you didn't do much in the first place." Wu glanced at his son sideways and refused expressionlessly.
Li Yao was really choked by these words. She obviously cooked her aunt's food, but they didn't eat it: "...... Auntie, these meals are enough for several of us to eat together, so you can come and eat too. ”
It is very common for people to change their temperament after a death. She had little contact with the Wu family before, and it was when she was not killed, so she really didn't know that this cousin's temperament was quite mean. Her family gave half of the silver to her cousin Li Minghe's family, and it was this aunt who pleaded with her mother-in-law Shen, implying her grandfather's.
"No need, A-Yao, you can eat quickly." Li Minghe was a kind person, and he opened his mouth gently at this time. The Fu family mainly relied on his family for help, and when he opened his mouth, the Fu family didn't say anything, just followed his family to eat in silence.
After looking at his cousin for a while, Li Jimin sighed lightly, and said in a rather helpless tone: "Ah Yao used to have a problem with being able to eat, but she let her eat some skills." Xizhi, you might as well come over and eat together. "Xi Zhi is Li Minghe's word.
"No need, uncle." Wu once again rejected Li Jimin with a cold face. (Yesterday 520, I heard that Huo Jianhua and Lin Xinru were together?) Belch...... This has nothing to do with me, I just ask for a recommendation ticket, hehe~)
