Chapter 138: New Year's Dinner (1)
"Okay, since Brother Lin is interested, Xiaoshan, you can take Brother Lin to the mountains for a walk. Don't go far, though. Li Ziyu admonished.
Seeing a few younger siblings happily hugging Lin Tianshu out of the courtyard gate, Li Ziyu was not worried. She knew that Bujiu and they would definitely follow, and besides, there was no danger outside.
She is going to make ten dishes today, which means "perfect". It is an extremely auspicious number in both modern and ancient times.
Today, there are quite a few people in the family, and there can be 12 people in the family. There is a square table and a kang table at home. But the squeeze should be put aside.
Li Ziyu got these ten dishes and made use of all the ingredients at home.
The ten dishes are: braised pork, stewed beef, stir-fried pork with celery, stewed mushrooms with pheasant, fried lamb with green onions, stir-fried fresh mushrooms, braised silver carp, braised roe deer meat, cold spinach and venison meatball soup.
These dishes are usually rare. If it is left in a restaurant, it will cost hundreds of taels of silver. Venison, roe deer meat, fresh mushrooms, pheasants, and fresh greens are not something that can be bought with money.
Li Ziyu ate it all at home without blinking an eye.
Li Ziyu and Li Luo's mother and daughter began to work on the New Year's dinner, and all four pots were used.
First of all, add cold water to a pot and cut the roe deer meat that was soaked yesterday into four large pieces and put them in the pot. Then add the peppercorns, spices, green onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, soy sauce and salt. Bring the heat to a boil, skim off the foam, and switch to a low heat. Stew for an hour and the meat can be fished out and eaten.
Beef stew is similar to braised roe deer meat. It's just that you need to blanch the beef soaked in blood water yesterday with boiling water, and then the same ingredients as the marinated roe deer meat. It's just that when the beef is about to rot, put white radish in it.
This white radish was bought earlier and eaten as leftovers. After I got a fresh dish, I forgot about it, and it might be a little healthy. Li Ziyu can still eat it. Even if it's waste.
The rest of the dishes, that is, washing, washing, cutting and cutting, will be ready for the three of them in a while.
The main rice, Li Ziyu, is ready to make dried beans and rice. Boil the adzuki beans in the pot for a while, and then take them out and put them aside when the waist is opened. Add the rice to the pot again. When the rice can be wetted with your hands, you can also take it out and put it aside.
Scoop up the rice soup in the pot and put it in the cold water, and put a steamer on top of the cold water. Spread a cloth on top of the steaming drawer. Pour the red beans and rice on the side on the steaming drawer and mix well, cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil, then switch to low heat for ten minutes and the rice will be steamed.
This kind of rice is extra fragrant because of the red beans. This was taught to her by Li Ziyu's mother in modern times.
It is said that every festive season is to miss relatives, probably because of the New Year, Li Ziyu felt sour. I can't help but think of my parents and younger brother in modern times, and the family is also preparing to have a New Year's dinner at this time, right? Absent himself. Parents are sure to have a bad year. I hope that my younger brother can take his place in his knees. Let the two old people have something to rely on.
Thanks to the four pots, the front and back alternate so that it will also be busy.
A pot of marinated roe deer meat. A pot of stewed beef. Rice is steamed in a pot. The rest of the pot Li Ziyu is using it to make braised pork. She plans to stew the braised pork and see what happens to the braised roe deer meat. If it's almost over, use that pot to braise silver carp.
When the stewed vegetables and marinated vegetables are cooked, stir-fry the vegetables and dumplings in the freed pot.
The three of them worked hard all the time, and finally brought two tables of food to the table.
The only regret is that there is no alcohol.
After all, Lin Tianshu came to the door for the first time, and he was still like that, and it was really rude to have no wine.
I don't know if the grocery store in the village sells alcohol. I'm afraid that the wine in the grocery store is inferior wine. Lin Tianshu is not used to drinking.
Li Ziyu was hesitating whether to go to the grocery store to buy wine, when she heard a commotion at the door. It turned out that Lin Tianshu and his younger siblings were back.
Everyone was smiling and excited. It's a pleasure to play when you look at it. From their attitude towards Lin Tianshu when they came in, Li Ziyu knew that they had been conquered by Lin Tianshu.
I didn't expect Lin Tianshu to have this ability, and after such a while, he became one with a few small ones. You must know that several younger siblings are not scheming people, and not everyone can enter their hearts. From Jiang Junzhang at the beginning to Li Luo and Xiaoou later, they all recognized each other after a few days of running-in period.
"Where did you go? So happy? Li Ziyu stood at the door of the hall and asked with a smile.
"Sister! Big brother is amazing! He can fly up trees and stand on the tips of trees! You can also beat birds with branches, and dig out birds' nests, but there are no eggs in them. There is also a sword that can be played" Hearing Li Ziyu ask, Xiaolan's small body had already jumped into Li Ziyu's arms, and her mouth kept chattering.
Li Ziyu hugged Xiaolan's soft little body into her arms, looked up at Lin Tianshu and said, "Brother Lin, how are we here?" It's different from yours, right? ”
"It's different, it's so different! Hahaha If only I lived here, I go up the mountain every day. It's so exciting. ”
Lin Tianshu's eyebrows fluttered, and his mouth opened to reveal white, neat teeth. The smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows can't be hidden, and his uninhibited temperament in his bones is exposed.
Lin Xing watched the little master reveal his true nature so quickly, and he couldn't wait to drag him home.
You say that you have a dignified county order, why can't you hold the point? It was a lot of fun to climb trees with a group of hairy children, just like a wild child. Anyway, you should be steady, don't you know that the little master will run away? If you let the little master know your heroic deeds, where is there still the majesty of your father?
Lin Tianshu seemed to know what Lin Xing was thinking, and glared at him.
Lin Xing shrunk his neck in fear and turned his head to look away.
Li Ziyu saw that they were all dirty, so she hurriedly washed her hands and faces. After everyone finished washing, Li Ziyu opened up to eat.
Remembering that he hadn't gone to buy wine yet, Li Ziyu said to Xiaoshan: "You go to the grocery store in the village to get a pot of wine." He turned around and looked at Lin Tianshu apologetically, "It's also my negligence, I forgot to buy wine after the New Year." Brother Lin, wait a minute, and wait for Xiaoshan to come back before eating. ”
"Hey! I thought what was the matter, I brought the wine. I knew you didn't have any wine ready. Lin Xing, bring the wine. Lin Tianshu waved his hand and pointed to the wooden box on the desk in the east room and said.
Lin Xing hurriedly brought the wooden box over and put it on the chair.
Lin Tianshu opened the wooden box, and inside were two bright red glazed fine porcelain bottles. The two porcelain vases are deep red in hue, like the red glow in the clear sky after a storm. It should be one of the "Ji red" in the red glaze.
In porcelain, the "red glaze" is the most difficult to fire. Because the red glaze is not resistant to high temperatures, it is very difficult to fire. It is known as a thousand kilns, one treasure, ten kilns, and nine failures. Therefore, firing red glaze has become a problem for the ages, and it is the dream of generations of skilled craftsmen.
The reason why Li Ziyu knows is because she has a comrade-in-arms from Xiamen, Fujian. His father was a master firing master who specialized in solving technical problems. It seems that once I heard her say that the technical problem was finally solved. As a result, the price of red oil has also dropped.
I didn't expect that there was such a good red glazed porcelain bottle in ancient times, and you can imagine how precious this bottle of wine is.
Thank you for the peace charm that you have personally rewarded! Thank you! (To be continued......)
