Chapter 13 Cooking
Shen Yuehua sent these two away, and the original drowsiness disappeared without a trace, plus the psychology of this life was comfortable, and after sleeping again, the body recovered a lot.
Shen Yuehua touched her forehead, feeling that the temperature was not so high, and looking at the sky again, the time was about six o'clock in the afternoon.
She didn't plan to sleep anymore, but combed her hair and got dressed, and followed the route in her memory to the kitchen of the eldest brother of the Zhang family.
She knew that she was a newly married daughter-in-law, no one had taught her in her previous life, and after leaving Zhangjia Village, she never got married again, so she was extremely unfamiliar with this daughter-in-law.
Since this is the case, Shen Yuehua plans to come according to her own ideas, there is always nothing wrong with being diligent, besides, after the ancient women married in, they all had to cook a meal for their in-laws.
She plans to cook a meal now, although she lived a life of fine clothes and fine food in her previous life, but she likes to cook and cook, and over time, she has also practiced a good craft.
Shen Yuehua went to the kitchen, opened the cabinet and looked at it, and found that the rice and grain were still sufficient, and there were more than a dozen eggs in the basket on one side, in addition, there were a few bacon and sausages hanging on the beams of the house.
Shen Yuehua also found a bunch of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the corner of the kitchen, and there were several large jars neatly placed in the corners, which were so large that they almost reached her waist.
Shen Yuehua knew that this was the pickled vegetables of the Zhang family, and there were not many types of pickles, including cabbage, radish, cowpeas, and artichokes...... This kind of vegetables grow in Zhangjiadi.
However, the taste was so good that after Shen Yuehua went to the city, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she thought about it.
The Zhang family likes to eat sweet and spicy dishes, after the pickled cabbage is fished out, add some homemade chili sauce and sugar, and it tastes particularly sour and refreshing when mixed together.
Shen Yuehua looked at a few jars, really thinking about this taste, after she made money later, she also sent someone back to Zhangjia Village to buy pickled cabbage, but she never bought it, and her mother-in-law Li Guifen pickled the taste.
Shen Yuehua thought of that special smell, and then looked at these jars, and her eyes became much more eager.
She thought about it, brushed the pot first, washed the rice, cut the sweet potatoes, and made sweet potato rice first, and now the village is used to eating like this, not because it is so delicious, but because it saves rice and grain, and sweet potatoes can also be eaten as rice, so that a lot of food can be saved by cooking at home.
The Zhang family is a big family in the village, and at the beginning, they had many children, so they lived poorly, and now the family situation is gradually getting better, but the family has developed a thrifty temperament, and they still eat sweet potatoes and rice when they eat.
Shen Yuehua covered the pot, and suddenly thought that the eldest brother of the Zhang family had two young girls, so he knocked three eggs, stirred them evenly, mixed them with salted water, and steamed them on top of the rice grid, intending to steam an egg custard.
This egg custard is also a rarity in the village, after all, eggs are rare, and if the chickens lay eggs at home, in addition to handing them over to the brigade commune, they also have to exchange something with the supply and marketing cooperative.
The food stamps in the village are rare, and the things are more abundant than in the city, so the method of bartering has been developed, although it is a bit speculative, but the above few years have not been strictly controlled, and it is okay to do this, anyway, they are all people in a village, and far away from the city, and the educated youth have also benefited, and they will not go out to talk nonsense.
This is also the reason why Shen Yuehua only knocked three eggs, if the eggs are boiled, you can only eat a few bites, but when you make an egg custard, it will be another dish.
If you want to come to this dish, it is also for several children in the family, not only the two children of the eldest brother of the Zhang family, but also her youngest brother-in-law, who is not much older than the two nieces now, and will also like to eat such soft and tender things.
Shen Yuehua was cooking in one pot, and after the other cauldron was cleaned, she scooped a spoonful of lard into the pot, and didn't dare to put more, otherwise even if the meal was ready, the family would be unhappy.
She chopped a few potatoes and artichokes and added some spices to the pan.
When the oil began to smoke, he poured the cut vegetables into it, and the potatoes were cut into pieces, which were soft and easy to restrain after a while.
Of course, after this dish is made, it can be steamed in a rice pot to make the potatoes softer.
After making this big dish, Shen Yuehua cut a few more potatoes and cut them into slender shredded potatoes, her knife skills have already been practiced after more than 20 years of training in her previous life, even if you carve potatoes, it is no problem.
So, at the moment, she cut the shredded potatoes very finely, she burned the oil, went to a piece of sausage, cut a little and fried it first, and waited until the meat was fragrant, and then she poured the shredded potatoes into it.
The shredded potatoes were slender and soon changed color, so Shen Yuehua took out the pickled cabbage from the jar again, cut it into slender shredded cabbage, and poured it into the pot.
The dish stir-fried in this way is the sour and spicy shredded potatoes, which tastes great, and most Chinese restaurants will have this dish, which tastes sour and crispy, in short, it is everyone's favorite food.
After Shen Yuehua finished stir-frying, seeing that it was still early, she used the pot she had just fried to cook another seaweed soup, and she didn't put much seaweed, this soup was originally just to warm the stomach, and the taste was light to quench your thirst.
The soup burned quickly, and after Shen Yuehua saw that it was boiling, the fire was extinguished, but at this time, a five or six-year-old girl suddenly broke in.
The little girl looked at the sloppy snot, her face was flushed, and her hair was messy, and after seeing Shen Yuehua, she immediately screamed in horror and shouted, "Mother! Mother! There are thieves in the kitchen! ”
Shen Yuehua: "......"
Shen Yuehua didn't have time to speak, when she saw a middle-aged woman who was beautiful and a little familiar with her eyes rushing in, and without saying a word, she picked up the broom at the door of the kitchen and hit her.
