Chapter 19: Stir-fry

"Iron pot? Does anyone use iron as a pot? Isn't that expensive? It's also too wasteful. Iron is so expensive, in addition to being used to make kitchen knives and farm tools, it is mainly used to make weapons, and slaves and maids have not heard of anyone using iron to make pots. Miss, you don't know how expensive iron is, a kitchen knife costs two taels of silver. Besides, you can use a crockpot pot for cooking, so why use an iron pot? ”

"But isn't this crockpot pot easy to break? The iron pot is not bad. Li Liping still asked without giving up.

"Crockpots are fragile, but cheap. A clay pot is only a few dozen dollars, but if you use iron to make a pot, it will not cost dozens of taels of silver. Besides, it's all cooking anyway, so what's the difference between using a crockpot and using iron? Even if it's a rich family, they won't waste it. There's no need. ”

Not necessary? It's so necessary! How do you stir-fry without an iron pot? It's good to make soup in a crockpot, but will the stir-fry crack?

What to do? How do you stir-fry without a pan? Hey, no matter what, I can only try it with this crockpot! Be careful, you should be fine.

After deciding that Li Liping will no longer be entangled in this problem, thinking about the ingredients and seasonings that she has come into contact with during this time, she said to Xiaocui;

"Is there ginger in the house? I remember when I was sick, you boiled ginger soup for me to drink? ”

"We still have ginger, last time Miss was sick, let Mrs. Wang help go to the pharmacy to buy some. Does Miss want dried ginger? Is it that the young lady is infected with the wind and cold again, and the slave maid will boil it for you immediately. "Ginger here is just a medicinal herb, not a seasoning at all. So when she heard that the young lady wanted ginger, Xiaocui thought that Li Liping had a cold again, and she was nervous.

"I'm not using it to make ginger soup, you give it to me, I'll be useful, and give me some tempeh." There is no soy sauce, no vinegar, no watercress, no ...... But luckily there are tempeh. In my memory, in the past two years, they often used tempeh for dinner.

Xiao Cui walked to the other side and took out a piece of ginger and some tempeh and gave it to Li Liping, but she was still full of curiosity. Tempeh is eaten by poor families here, what does the young lady want these things for?

After taking the things, Li Liping thought about it and spoke again;

"You go to the kitchen and get some salt, garlic, garlic sprouts, cabbage, leeks and five eggs." During this time, people will no longer make things difficult, and some of their occasional small requests will basically be met. No matter what the other party's purpose is, Li Liping will not be stupid to refuse these benefits.

Waiting for Xiaocui to leave, Li Liping is not idle. She scooped up the chicken and slices of fat. Then tear the chicken into strips.

When she finished tearing the chicken and washing the ginger, Xiaocui also came back with her things.

"Mrs. Wang, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"No, I don't. As soon as the slave said that she wanted these things, the princess immediately gave them to me. Didn't even ask. "Xiao Cui is very excited,

"Yes, that's good. In the future, in addition to the main food, we will make our own dishes. Now you wash the garlic sprouts, cabbage, leeks and then burn the fire. ”

After instructing Xiaocui, Li Liping also took action.

Slice the ginger and garlic first, then crack the five eggs in a bowl and beat. After the cabbage is washed, cut the garlic sprouts into sections, chop the leeks into minced pieces, and cut the cabbage into shreds. Add the minced leeks to the eggs, add a little salt, stir well and set aside. Once ready, ready to go.

Seeing that the pot was already hot, Li Liping picked up the cooked pork belly and poured it into the hot pot, because there was no shovel, Li Liping had to use a wooden spoon to keep turning the shovel until the oil in the meat was almost fried out, and then put the excess oil in a bowl for later use. Then pour ginger, garlic and tempeh into the pot and stir-fry with the meat until she smells the fragrance, Li Liping quickly poured all the prepared big bowl of garlic seedlings into the pot, stir-fried a few times, sprinkled with a little salt, and a bowl of fragrant garlic seedlings returned to the pot The meat is baked. Although the ingredients are limited, and the stir-fry is worried that the pot will explode from time to time, I have been frightened, but fortunately, there is no danger.

Seeing that the crockpot pot was okay, Li Liping also breathed a sigh of relief. But I still decided in my heart that the first thing I did when I had money was to make an iron pot, otherwise I would have to be afraid of cooking in the future.

Xiao Cui was already fascinated by this seductive delicacy on the side, and kept swallowing her saliva. I was even more surprised in my heart, how could the same fat become so fragrant in the hands of the young lady? She had never smelled such a fragrant dish, so it must have tasted even more beautiful.

Xiao Cui couldn't help it, her eyes flashed brightly, and she asked curiously; "Miss, what is your method of cooking this way called, it's the first time the slave has seen such a method. It's amazing how these dishes can be cooked without water! But it's so delicious. ”

Looking at Xiaocui's excited expression, Li Liping smiled mysteriously; "Hehe, this dish is fragrant, right? It tastes even more delicious after a while. As for this practice, I only tell you that this dish is called stir-frying, that is, stir-frying. How to fry it specifically, it's not something that can be said at a moment's notice. ”

It was the first time for Xiao Cui to hear the word stir-fry, and when she thought that Miss could make such a unique and delicious dish, Xiao Cui admired Miss even more. Thinking of being able to eat such a delicious dish, Xiaocui felt that her saliva was about to flow out.

Next, Li Liping fried a scrambled egg with leeks, and this dish was very simple. Pour some of the remaining lard into the pot, pour in the prepared eggs and stir-fry when the oil is hot, wait for the eggs to become lumpy, then sprinkle with chopped green onions, and then put them in the pot.

The last dish of shredded chicken cabbage. Pour the last bit of oil into the pot, pour in the shredded chicken and stir-fry twice and then put it out, then pour in the shredded cabbage and stir-fry, add a little salt when it is almost cooked, and finally pour in the shredded chicken and stir-fry twice and the pot is done.

Although the seasoning is pitifully simple and the tools are not handy, the good thing here is that everything here is green food, so even if it is simply processed, it doesn't seem to smell too bad. Although it is 108,000 miles away from Li Liping's request, under such conditions, Li Liping can't expect too much, and it's good to be able to speak.

"Alright, let's go, let's eat." Li Liping's greeting made Xiao Cui, who was already hungry, jump up excitedly, pick up the food and leave. Seeing Xiaocui's impatient appearance, Li Liping shook her head with a smile, cleaned up the kitchen and walked out of the kitchen. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― I had a cold today, and my tonsils were swollen all the time. Later. I'm sorry. Luckily, it was just before twelve o'clock.
