Jiang Junzhang nodded thoughtfully, and when he saw Li Ziyu constantly stirring the deer skin in the barrel, he asked, "What are you doing?" This is a deerskin, why is it still soaked in water? It can't be something to say, right? ”

Li Ziyu said with a smile: "I really said it, and I earned two hundred taels of silver with this talk." ”

"Really? I'd like to hear what to say, it's so valuable. ”

Li Ziyu took it as a joke and told Jiang Junzhang about the method of ripening deerskin, and his words were full of a sense of accomplishment that he had taken advantage of.

Unexpectedly, after listening to this, Jiang Junzhang pondered and asked, "What you said is really easy to use?" I mean, the skin is really soft? ”

"Of course, you think I'm going to coax you to play. What about two hundred taels of silver, if it doesn't work, you won't eat me? ”

Li Ziyu said and entered the hall and began to make breakfast.

For breakfast, Li Ziyu made porridge mixed with rice and millet, and when the porridge pot boiled, Li Ziyu began to take care of her younger siblings and herself. Wash your face, comb your hair, cook things on and off the kang in the house, and when everything is done, the porridge is cooked.

Li Ziyu cut a large lung leaf that was cooked yesterday, cut it into thin shreds, and the cabbage heart was also cut into thin shreds, sprinkled with a small amount of salt and vinegar, which was a plate of beautiful pork lungs mixed with cabbage hearts. I cut another plate of pork hearts mixed with shredded radish, and I had an appetite when I looked at the red and green.

Li Ziyu tore the leftover pheasant meat from yesterday and put it into a small bowl, and two drops of soy sauce were considered a dish.

Everyone sat around the table on the ground, there were not enough chairs, Li Ziyu let Lan Lan sit on her lap, and the two sisters did not look crowded when they sat on a chair.

After eating, Li Ziyu took care of everything, and matched the ingredients and ingredients at the bottom of the pot that Junzhang continued to write about the hot pot.

According to the eating habits of the people of the Daye Dynasty and the existing ingredients, Li Ziyu carefully recalled the relevant ingredients of modern hot pot and said four kinds of hot pot bases.

The first is the bone soup base, which is rich in flavor and high in nutrients, and is suitable for people with calcium deficiency. In this season, it is topped with cabbage heart, mushrooms (any mushroom will do), tofu, duck blood, and even better if there is seafood.

The second is the fish head hot pot base, the key to this base is chili, and then put tofu in it, and finally the coriander garnish is the icing on the cake. Fish has a brightening effect, and fish soup has a nourishing effect.

The third is the chicken soup base, which is light and fragrant, with some seasonal side dishes, and those who like light can use this base.

The fourth is a base for women, a pigeon soup base. You can put some cordyceps, ginseng, angelica, red dates and other nourishing Chinese medicines, and then add yams, fungus, wolfberries, etc.

These types of hot pot have several characteristics in common that are of particular attention.

Hanging soup is the key to the success or failure of the whole hot pot. As the saying goes, "no chicken is not fresh, no duck is not fragrant, no bone is not thick", so when hanging white soup, pay attention to the combination of raw materials to maintain the freshness and taste of the soup. Its characteristics are: milky white color, positive taste, and strong consistency.

Before boiling the base, soak the raw materials (that is, big bones, fish heads, chickens, and pigeons) in cold water for an hour, that is, half an hour, so that all kinds of nutrients can be fully solidified, and the soup will be fresh and fragrant. Add green onions, ginger, cooking wine, pepper when hanging the soup, fill it with water at one time, and it is strictly forbidden to add cold water to the soup pot in the middle, and add boiling water if the soup is dry. When boiling the soup, you must keep beating the foam out to ensure that the soup is milky white. It is important to note that the soup boiled over high heat is a thick soup and a clear soup, and the soup is simmered over low heat as a clear soup.

Li Ziyu said several ingredients for the soup base, and said it in detail.

Li Ziyu doesn't plan to run to the town all the time, so he said it very carefully, hoping that the chef of the restaurant can make a variety of special soup bases based on what he wrote.

When Li Ziyu and Jiang Junzhang were writing the ingredients for the hot pot soup base, Xiaoshan took a few small ones to the side quietly, and no one spoke. They all looked at their sister with admiration, and their faces were full of pride and pride.

It took Li Ziyu a whole hour to finish speaking, and what she said was a dry mouth.

Seeing that his sister was thirsty, Xiaoshan hurriedly went to the pot in the hall to scoop a bowl of boiling water, and Li Ziyu held the bowl around the bowl and eagerly sucked and drank the water, which made everyone laugh.

Xiao Wu shouted loudly: "Sister, I will too." That's how sorghum paste is drunk. ”

Li Ziyu stopped drinking water, silently touched Xiao Wu's head, and did not speak. But he said firmly in his heart: Don't worry, my sister won't let you drink sorghum paste anymore, I promise.

Jiang Junzhang sat on the chair and looked at the things in his hand seriously, and felt sincere admiration for Li Ziyu in his heart. The thing in your hand seems to be a recipe, but the collocation inside is exquisite. Without a certain level of learning, you can't write about this thing. Strange, does her master really know everything?

After writing these things, Li Ziyu got up and went to boil the last dose of medicine for Jiang Junzhang. In the process of boiling the medicine, Li Ziyu took the time to water the vegetables in the east house, and when she changed the water for the bean sprouts in the clay pot, she found that the bean sprouts had actually grown, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised. But when she saw Xiaohu's clothes that were half made on the kang, Li Ziyu couldn't help but feel bored, and her desire to ask someone to make clothes became stronger.

I don't know how to spend my time every day, it's just not enough. She couldn't do anything serious, which really made her panic. Luckily, the guests are leaving. If he doesn't leave, she'll cry.

After the medicine was boiled and served to drink Junzhang, it was time to make lunch again.

Li Ziyu is going to eat a sumptuous meal for lunch, and the guests are leaving today, so it is better to eat before leaving, and also leave a good impression. The main rice is steamed rice, which is the best food in the house. The main dish is to make a stir-fried liver tip with cabbage, stir-fried large intestine with cabbage, shredded belly with cabbage, and a shredded radish soup.

While eating, Jiang Junzhang stood in front of the table and frowned and said, "How do you do so much?" You've done it all, what will you eat in the future? ”

Li Ziyu laughed and said: "What do you say, it's just some pigs going into the water, you don't dislike it." Let's eat, there are no good things in the countryside, and you can also try the food in the countryside, maybe it will be a good memory in the future. ”

To be honest, as soon as he heard that it was a pig in the water, Jiang Junzhang didn't have any good hopes. Pigs in the water? What can it taste like? I think it must be unpalatable. He's ready, even if it's unpalatable, it's delicious. I didn't expect it to taste really good when I chewed it in my mouth.

After lunch, Li Ziyu's sisters and brothers didn't go anywhere else, and they all stayed in the West House to stay with Jiang Junzhang.

Li Ziyu also told the story of the magic pen Ma Liang, the greedy king, and Ma Liang's bravery, wit and kindness.

Xiaohu and Xiaolan fell asleep after listening to this, and Li Ziyu carried them to the east room and placed them in place.

Xiao Wu also fell asleep afterwards, and Xiao Shan put him on the top of the kang and covered him with a quilt.

When Li Ziyu, Xiaoshan, and Xiaowen were left in the room, Junzhang took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Li Ziyu and said, "This is my master's original secret medicine Nine Turns Great Returning Pill, which can enhance internal strength. I found that you siblings don't have internal strength, and this is what you need at the moment. ”
