Chapter 357: Sour
The corn in the garden was sold, and it was just at this time that the corn in the field also came down, and it was the time of tenderness. Lian Man'er's family continued to sell the corn in the field.
At this time, it is the time when the corn is quickly filled and grows into the fruit, and it is estimated that the tender corn will be sold for ten days, and after that, there is only to wait for the corn to be completely old, grow fruit, and finally harvest.
While the cucumbers and beans in the vegetable garden were being shelfed, in addition to the dozen or so corns left for seeding, even Shouxin also cut the other corn stalks. The large corn on the corn stalks was sold as tender corn, but some small, untidy corn cobs remained. Some of these corns are too small, some are too sparse in kernel length, and all kinds of defects are there.
These corns, not yet finished Chapter 357 sour full growth, even if they are completely fruitful, they cannot be kept as seeds. And if you eat it, these corns are too old.
Lian Man'er broke off all the corn cobs, and Wulang, Xiaoqi, and Lianzhi'er took down the corn kernels, and five small corn cobs, and filled a small pot full of corn kernels.
"Sister, how can we eat this corn?" Xiao Qi asked Lian Man'er.
"Let's fry and eat." Lian Man'er laughed.
"Okay!" Xiao Qi cheered, for what to eat, this little guy has no taboos and has the courage to try.
Lian Man'er brushed the big iron pot clean, Lian Zhi'er sat under the stove to make a fire, and Lian Man'er poured a pot of corn kernels into the cauldron, and then took a shovel to spread the corn kernels evenly on the bottom of the pot, waiting for the pot to heat up. Even the vines sped up, pulling the kernels and trying to heat each grain evenly.
"Sister, just use medium heat." Lian Man'er told Lian Zhi'er.
At this time, the corn is not tender, but it is not too old, so it is fried and eaten. It's the best to eat. And it doesn't take much fire, and when you see that the corn kernels have changed color, and the part that wraps the germ in the middle bulges because of the heat. The corn is ready.
Shoveling the corn out of the pot, the children gathered around the pot and began to eat. Chapter 357 The corn fried in this way is to be eaten while it is hot. It's the best. Sweet, moist, and chewy. If it is left to cool, this fried corn will become hard and less tasty.
"It's delicious." Xiao Qi grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, and said a little vaguely.
Lian Man'er beckoned Zhang and Lian Shouxin to come over to eat.
"You guys, you're quite able to figure it out." Zhang grabbed a handful of it and ate it, and thought it was good, so he smiled.
"That's good." Even Shouxin tasted it and nodded. "Actually, although this corn is a little old, it is ripe for a big fire, as long as the teeth are good, it is quite chewy to gnaw. Also hungry. ”
Even if life is good now, Lian Shouxin's highest requirement for food is to be full. As for whether it tastes good or not, he doesn't care too much. Zhang's often laughed and said that even Shouxin was "good to answer" and "good to serve".
Ate fried corn. Lian Man'er remembered another thing.
"It's my father's birthday today, what are we going to eat at night?" Lian Man'er asked.
On Lian Shouxin's birthday, Zhang boiled a few eggs for him in the morning, and they were all shared by Lian Shouxin and Lian Man'er to eat. Originally, when the family was not separated, the adult sons and daughters-in-law of the Lian family, like Lian Shouxin and Zhang, were not given birthdays. Only a few younger grandchildren, Lian Xiu'er, as well as Lian Lao Zi and Zhou's family, celebrated their birthdays.
This family is divided, life is better, and several children have more birthdays than in the past. Zhang's distress and his promise were not good, so he planned to celebrate his birthday as well. Of course, Lian Man'er agrees, she thinks that everyone's birthday in the family should be celebrated.
"Ask your father, today is your father's birthday, your father has the final say." Zhang smiled.
"Dad, what do you want to eat at night?" Lian Man'er raised her face and asked Lian Shouxin.
"Anything." Lian Shouxin is very good at speaking.
"Dad, it's your birthday today, you can say anything, so we don't know what to do? Dad, whatever you want to eat, just say it. Lian Man'er continued to ask.
"Xiao Qi, what do you want to eat?" Lian Shouxin thought about it, then turned around and pulled Xiao Qi over and asked.
"Dad, I want to eat whatever you want." Xiao Qi is a clever ghost, so he hugged Lian Shouxin's thighs and smiled sweetly.
Zhang and several children all looked at Lian Shouxin, and they were so concerned that Lian Shou's confidence warmed. He hadn't had a birthday in nearly twenty years.
"Then let's eat dumplings." Seeing that his wife and children must be chosen by him, he even kept his word and said.
There is a saying in Thirty Mile Yingzi, which is called comfortable is better than upside down, and delicious is not as good as dumplings. This sentence says that the most comfortable thing is to lie down and stay, and the best food to eat is dumplings.
The Zhuang family does not know the so-called delicacies of the mountains and seas, and in their opinion, it is a great enjoyment to be able to eat a meal of white bread and meat-filled dumplings.
Even Man'er thinks that the dumplings are good, nutritious, and rich in fillings, which can be concocted in a variety of different flavors.
"Okay, then let's make dumplings at night, white-flour dumplings." Zhang said.
"Mother, then I'll buy meat. Is it enough to buy three catties of meat? Lian Man'er stood up and said to Zhang.
"That's enough, if it's three catties of meat, then order more lean meat." Zhang said.
Life is improving day by day, and the family's taste choices for eating have gradually changed. When I don't have money, I like to pick fat to buy meat, because there is a lot of oil and I am hungry. Now, it's different.
Lian Man'er took a few strings of money, carried the basket, took Xiao Qi, and walked to the town. She first bought three catties of lean pork in the butcher shop, and then went to Cai Kee to buy a whole roast chicken. She still remembers that Lian Shouxin loves to eat this.
When he got home, Lian Shouxin saw the roast chicken, and said that it was too expensive, there were dumplings, and he bought roast chicken for something, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Being valued and cared for by your family is an adult, and you can't help but rejoice.
The meat was bought, what was the dish used for?
"Just the gourd." Zhang's Road.
At this time, it is time to eat gourd. Pick the tender gourd, wash it, cut it in half, take out the money from the gourd, and don't need to peel it, rub the gourd into shreds with a wiping board, grab it with a little salt, pinch off the water, and you can make the filling.
The tender gourd is watery, and there is a fresh fragrance, even if you don't add meat, just add a variety of seasonings and mix it, you can also use it to make dumplings. After all, it is rare for the Zhuang family to eat white-flour dumplings. Sometimes, they use finely ground sorghum rice flour as the skin and fresh melons and vegetables such as gourds for the filling.
No matter how good the sorghum rice noodles are, they can't roll out the thin dough of white noodles. If the dough is thick, you can't wrap delicate dumplings, and most of them are the size of a palm, which can't be called dumplings. Zhuanghu people only care about this kind of big vegetable bun.
Originally, when the family was not separated, the Zhou family loved to eat this kind of big vegetable bun. But it was this kind of big vegetable bun, and even the family couldn't eat it often at that time. This is because even if no meat is added to the filling, it takes more oil than normal cooking. Moreover, the sorghum rice noodles wrapped in cabbage are finely ground, which is more expensive than the coarser sorghum rice noodles.
Three catties of meat filling, Zhang's from the pigsty shed to pick two large tender gourds, each of which is five or six catties, although remove the pulp, and then pickle the excess water, the weight will be much lighter, but with three catties of meat to make the filling, even Man'er still feels more.
They won't be able to eat a single meal.
But even Man'er didn't say anything, it's not easy to make dumplings once, and it's more troublesome than usual cooking, the Zhuang family generally wants to make dumplings, they will pack more, eat a meal that night, and the next morning will leave the remaining dumplings in a simmer (read the fourth tone), and enough to eat.
The boil here does not mean such as the tip of the liver. This is the native language that the elderly people in the camp of thirty miles love to use, and the meaning is probably equivalent to hot and hot.
She added jelly to the filling, and added the special fresh soup treasure in her shop, which made the filling fresh and fragrant, and you can smell the fragrance from afar.
Today is Lian Shouxin's birthday, and he was supposed to just rest and not have to work. Lian Shouxin is a person who can't rest, he reconciled the noodles first, and when Lian Man'er adjusted the filling, Lian Shouxin took a rolling pin and began to roll the dumpling skin.
Zhang's, Lian Zhi'er, and Lian Man'er were responsible for making dumplings, and Gorou and Xiaoqi also clumsily helped make dumplings in order to show their filial piety.
When the first pot of dumplings came out of the pot, Lian Shouxin took a large sea bowl and picked up a bowl full of dumplings.
"The child's father, you send it to his father?" Zhang asked.
"Well, it's my birthday today, I'll send it over." Even keep your word.
"That's fine." Zhang added some water to the cauldron, put the curtain drawer, and began to steam the second pot of dumplings. "We have good intentions, if his milk and who is in the room say something that is not very good, don't take it to heart, come back quickly. We've got our hearts done, and that's it. ”
"I know." Lian Shouxin agreed to this and went out with a big bowl.
Lian Man'er was idle, so she tiptoed behind.
The table has been set up in the upper room and the meal has begun.
"Dad, mother, the dumplings we just made will be tasted for your second elder." Lian Shouxin handed the big bowl to Old Man Lian.
"Making dumplings? This is always sent back and forth, you are also several people, give the children more to eat, everything is available, you don't have to send it to me. Even the old man said.
After a little pushing, even the old man accepted the dumplings.
"His fourth aunt can make things, and I can smell the fragrance from this distance." On the table over there, He grinned.
"Fourth, you are living a good life now, you eat dumplings every once in a while, eldest brother, I am a prisoner, and I don't eat as well as you." Lian Shouren glanced at the steaming dumplings, and drew a circle on the table with chopsticks in his hand.
Lian Shouxin was about to come out, and when he heard Lian Shouren's somewhat sour words, he stopped.
"Big brother, what we eat is everything in front of us, and everyone can see it. What the eldest brother eats, we don't have a place to watch. We don't usually eat anything, but it's my birthday today. "Even keep your word.
There was a snap, and Zhou dropped his chopsticks on the dining table.
