Chapter 13 Yanbei Home Cooking

The Ma family has more than a dozen acres of medium fields, this year planted five acres of beans, when the autumn harvest, harvested hundreds of catties of beans, Yuan has a good hand in making tofu, every day before dawn, will get up and her man Ma Wubao to push the stone grinding tofu.

Now that it is snowing, there are no more vegetables sold in this village than in the town and county, so everyone can eat vegetables, except for cabbage and radishes grown in the field, and those who are in a slightly better situation at home can only buy some tofu and vegetables.

This tofu is stewed with the sauerkraut made in the village or the radish and cabbage grown in the field, and after the skillful cooking of the peasant women, it is no worse than eating meat. In Yanbei, where the snow is heavy and the material is extremely scarce, it can be regarded as a unique delicacy on the table.

Therefore, the two large plates of more than 100 catties of tofu that the Ma family grinds every day are almost all bought by the villagers in these ten miles and eight villages, and the Rong family will also go to the Ma family every day to buy a piece of tofu of about ten catties.

As for the dried tofu and tofu puffs, they are all leftover tofu eaten every day, and after Luo Cailei's skillful hands, they are made into dried tofu and tofu puffs that are easier to store.

And fungus, mushrooms and walnut kernels are all mountain goods that Tan Yingyuan brought back when he went into the mountains to hunt.

Vermicelli, eggplant and eggs are naturally also bought from the Ma family, after all, the people of the Rong family are not good at doing farm work, and it is naturally impossible to grind sweet potatoes into vermicelli, raise chickens, raise ducks, raise geese and pigs. Tan Yingyuan and the others tend to the five acres of land on weekdays, and they can only grow some cabbage, radishes, potatoes and sweet potatoes that are relatively easy to survive.

Potatoes and beans are all grown by the Rong family, this year the Rong family planted an acre of potatoes, after harvesting it was placed in the cellar for storage, on weekdays, when stewing chicken and duck stewed meat, cut some as side dishes, delicious and full, it is not a problem to eat a winter.

The production of dried beans was proposed by the big girl.

The beans that everyone planted in the small vegetable fields in the courtyard of the Rong family were picked in the summer, and the ones that could not be eaten were put in the yard to dry.

After the beans are dried, they can be saved until the winter when there is a shortage of vegetables, and you can also enrich the meal.

When this dried bean is stir-fried or stewed, it is directly put into it as a side dish, and the beans absorb the richness of the soup, and the taste is also very good.

Or after soaking the dried beans, it can also be used to make steamed buns and dumpling fillings, which are also proposed by the big girl who is quite good at home-cooked food.

Because the harvest of beans this year is good, everyone also thinks it tastes good, so the big girl proposed that next year, in addition to the beans, you can also plant some eggplant, gourd, pumpkin and gray cabbage in the yard, these summer can not be eaten and dried, and when there is a shortage of vegetables in winter, you can take it out and add vegetables.

The planting of cucumbers, garlic seedlings and small greens was proposed by the well-informed Cai Bairui, and in the autumn, a shed was set up on the vegetable field in the yard, and the shed was covered with hay.

During the day, when the temperature is high and there is sunshine, the hay is pulled away and the vegetable seedlings are allowed to bask in the sun; At night, the hay is still applied to keep warm.

As a result, the cucumber seedlings, baby greens, and garlic sprouts have grown quite happily, and now they are ready to be picked into the vegetables.

In fact, in this village, the common practice is to put a few large wooden troughs in the house where they sleep, and plant vegetable seedlings in the troughs. Because the fire is burned in the house, the temperature is very high, so that the vegetable seedlings will not freeze and spoil.

It's just that the Rong family was originally a big family after all, so they naturally couldn't stand growing vegetables in their bedrooms, so Cai Bairui suggested that they learn from those flower farmers in the capital and cover the vegetable seedlings with hay to keep them warm.

Of course, don't look at this table full of twenty dishes, it seems that there are a lot, and the amount of dishes is also sufficient, but after all, there are Tan Yingyuan, Cai Bairui and the seven of them who also have to eat together. They get up early in the morning before dawn and go to work in the fields, and the amount of food they eat is naturally very amazing, and these dishes alone are far from enough.

And Luo Cailei originally learned to make pancakes with Han Yuniang next door, and today she baked a full pot of dozens of pancakes as a staple food.

Because there are already cornmeal fish cakes, this pancake Luo Cailei is made of sorghum rice as raw materials and mixed with an appropriate amount of sweet potato flour.

The soaked sorghum rice, mixed with pre-cooked white rice, plus soaked soybeans, is pushed out with a small mill in the kitchen, and then mixed with an appropriate amount of sweet potato flour to make a paste with moderate consistency, and you can start to pancake on the pan.

If you want to cook this pancake well, it will be crispy and crispy and taste good, and you need to add the right amount of white rice and soybeans. Fortunately, the eldest girl had also baked pancakes with her mother at home, so the proportion of this raw material did not stump everyone.

When it was baking, Mother Lu was watching the fire at the bottom, Luo Cailei was looking at the pancakes on it, and the big girl with quick hands and feet stood aside and uncovered the pancakes that were baked and placed on the curtain, so as not to spread the heat and stick together for a long time.

This pancake is a physical job, and it is quite time-consuming to make it by ordinary skilled hands, so Mother Lu and Luo Cailei only had time to make dozens of pancakes.

So on top of that, they prepared a large pot of spiky white rice mixed with sweet potatoes cut into small pieces.

The Rong family planted two acres of sweet potato land this year, and the sweet potato seedlings were given to the Ma family and the Yang family next door, so that they could chop up and feed the pigs raised by the family with soybean cakes.

Half of the harvested sweet potatoes are ground into sweet potato flour and half are stored in the cellar. Nowadays, the most important thing that the Rong family lacks is the sweet potatoes and potatoes piled up in the cellar.

In his previous life, in modern times, Rong Yunhe especially liked to eat roasted sweet potatoes sold on the stove at those stalls.

Whole sweet potatoes, properly roasted in the oven, have a charred skin on the outside, and a hot, fragrant and sweet inside, which is a hundred times better than any white/noodle steamed bun and white rice!

So today, she also deliberately asked Lu's mother to bury a few pieces of sweet potatoes in the half-extinguished stove after the meal was ready, and when she finished eating, the roasted sweet potatoes over there could be eaten while they were hot.

After all, although sweet potatoes are delicious, they can't be eaten as rice after all, otherwise they will have a sour stomach if they eat too much, for the sake of their own bodies, Rong Yunhe only dares to eat a few bites after meals and as desserts after cooking.
