Chapter 83: The Buddha jumps over the wall and is delicious
"Hehe, then you have to work harder. Later, in winter, it will be cold even if you wear single clothes. Yao Huang said with a smile.
…………………… I am the eldest sister of the Yao family and started to do the dividing line of the Buddha jumping over the wall........................
Yao Huang and the three of them carried a basket of fish back to the village, which surprised the villagers again. After listening to Yao Qing explain the method of fishing, many young people ran to the Hetao with tools. Nowadays, young people have learned kung fu and have great strength, although they can't hit the ice hole with one palm like Yao Huang, but a few people can work together to quickly chisel through the ice. On this day, every family in the village ate fish.
I picked the largest fish, chopped off the fish head and handed it to Yao Hong, and the three small ones slipped and salivated to guard Yao Hong to make a Buddha jump over the wall. In addition to fish heads, pork belly and pig's trotters, chicken, duck, bear paws, roe deer meat, bird eggs, hares, winter bamboo shoots, frozen tofu, hazel mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms...... Every time they put in an ingredient, Yao Qing and Xiao Ke slurred their saliva. By the time Yao Hong put the ten-year-old sorghum wine that had been specially bought into the jar and then covered the jar and put it on the stove, two small puddles had already appeared on the ground at the feet of the two people, and they were full of saliva.
The Buddha jumped over the wall and simmered for three days and three nights over a slow fire, during which the two little ones could only look at the altar and drool, which was not a small torture for the two of them. The firewood for burning is a pine branch picked up by Yao Huang, but I don't know if there will be pine fragrance infiltrating the jar.
Three days later, when Yao Hong opened the lid of the altar, a strong fragrance came to his face, and all five people were intoxicated.
"It smells so good!" Yao Qing sniffed hard, "Second sister, where's the bowl?" What about spoons? Grab a bowl and try it! ”
Rich and delicious soup, melt-in-your-mouth ingredients. It's so delicious that your tongue melts. Smelling the man, Chiba poured the last mouthful of soup into his mouth. I hurriedly scooped a bowl for myself, so that I had the leisure to taste it slowly. He only felt that his twenty years of life as a son of a family had been in vain. Only now can I eat this kind of earthly delicacy. Fortunately, he married Yao Hong, a virtuous wife, and became an in-law with Yao Huang, a sister-in-law with a mysterious background and rich knowledge, so he was fortunate to eat such delicious food. Hehe, Chun Yu Jinfeng will definitely be jealous of him after knowing it. For the sake of his brother, when he comes back to the village, let Yao Hong make another one for him to taste.
"Mr. Wenren, are you eating?" The village chief smiled and came in through the door, his nose twitching slightly. The gaze did not move after seeing the altar containing the Buddha jumping over the wall. Needless to say, this one was attracted by the scent of Buddha jumping over the wall.
"Uncle Village, you are here, please take a seat. The fourth uncle, the fourth aunt, the third brother, and the eldest aunt ......, sit down! I made a new dish and everyone tried it. "The village chief is not the only one who is attracted by the fragrance, but the people in the neighborhood are all attracted, but the young people are not as thick-skinned as the older ones, and they come to the rumor's house to eat and drink.
Yao Hong secretly laughed at everyone's reaction. Zhilu Dao Everyone was attracted by the Buddha jumping over the wall, and hurriedly took out all the dishes and chopsticks in the house, and one person scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to several elders. Then, several elders were conquered by the delicious soup.
"Big girl. Your craft is getting better and better! What kind of soup is this? Not only does it smell good, but it also tastes so good? Aunt Li asked, and the others were still reminiscing about the delicious feeling they had just eaten.
"Fourth aunt. This soup is called Buddha jumping over the wall, and it is a new dish that I make according to the recipe provided by Erya. "See the reaction of the crowd. Yao Hong also understands what this dish is called "Buddha jumping over the wall", it really lives up to its name!
"What a way to do it. You tell me, I will make it for your fourth uncle when I have time? ”
When the other elders heard Fourth Aunt Li's question, their ears pricked up, and they all stared at Yao Hong. Yao Hong couldn't stand such a strong focused light, and hurriedly said what he did.
"It's so troublesome! I still need so many materials...... "Aunt Li hesitated, although most of the materials were wild things in the mountains, but they couldn't get it!" Not everyone can encounter bears in the mountains, and even if they do, the second boy in her family is not as good at archery and kung fu as Yao. It's true, the second boy has been practicing for so long, and he can't even compare to a child, it's a shame! It's a pity that the three boys went to the city to study, otherwise let him also practice martial arts, and the two brothers worked together, maybe they could kill a bear. Don't say that it is insulting for a scholar to practice martial arts, look at the son of a scholar, it is not both civil and military!
"You don't have to use bear paws, most of the original materials used by Buddha jumping over the wall are seafood, and we don't have seafood here, so we use bear paws and roe deer meat instead. When the fourth aunt makes it, she can lick and add materials at will. Yao Huang saw the hesitation of the fourth aunt and a group of elders, so he interjected.
"That's good!" Sister-in-law Zhang smiled, "I still think that with my family's skills, let alone beating bears, maybe I can't even beat roe deer." It's good to listen to you, and you don't need to prepare too many materials, our hares and chickens and ducks also have them, and they are slaughtered for my family to eat once, so as not to let the two little ones drool at home after smelling the fragrance. ”
"I'll do it when I get home." Fourth Aunt Li continued, and Fourth Uncle Li nodded happily on the side. The other big men who didn't have their wives with them kept the cooking methods in mind, and when they got home, they let their wives cook them.
"Village chief, are you looking for something with us?" No matter how fragrant the Buddha jumped over the wall, it was impossible for it to reach the village chief's house so far, the village chief must have been near Yao's house for a long time, maybe there was something to find them.
"That's the case......" The village chief put down the bowl, reluctantly glanced at the jar placed in the center of the table, gritted his teeth and turned his gaze, and said, "Aren't there a few children walking in the village?" The atmosphere in the village has been very low, and I want to let everyone have a lively time and make rice cakes together. ”
Rice cake is a kind of traditional food for the Chinese New Year, which is homophonic with "Nian Gao", which means that it is high every year, symbolizing income positions or children's knowledge and height are getting higher and higher year by year. In the early days, it was used to worship gods and ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, and later gradually became a Chinese New Year food. At the end of each year, there is a habit of beating rice cakes and eating rice cakes in rural areas, and every household will grind glutinous rice into flour to beat adult rice cakes, and as a traditional gift to send relatives to relatives in the New Year, so "rice cakes" have become a "good mouthpiece" for people to bless relatives and friends every year.
In previous years, Qingshui Village also had the custom of beating rice cakes, but later every household did not live very well, and the price of glutinous rice was relatively expensive, so Qingshui Village stopped the custom of making rice cakes together. There are only a few people who are doing well, and they will make a few rice cakes at home during the New Year. In the past two years, thanks to the Yao family, the life of the villagers has improved, and with two surplus money in hand, the village chief wants to pick up the customs that he once ignored. The village chief went door-to-door to ask for the opinions of the villagers, and everyone was naturally happy, and the Yao family was no exception.
After agreeing to the village chief and going into the city with others to buy glutinous rice in a few days, the village chief and a few elders left Yao's house half satisfied and half regretful. Yao Hongzhi said that they wanted to bring some "Buddha jumping over the wall" home for the children to taste, but there were not many Buddha jumping over the wall in the jar, and they hadn't eaten enough, so how could they give it to outsiders? Besides, there are so many people, and it's not enough.
There is no glutinous rice grown in the village, and if you want to make rice cakes, you have to go to the grain store in the city to buy them. Now the price of grain has risen even higher, the price of glutinous rice is five or six times that of previous years, and the villagers can only buy two or three hundred catties back. These two or three hundred catties of rice can be bought by any young man, but seeing that it is about to reach the end of the year, the villagers simply take the opportunity to buy the New Year's goods together.
Early the next morning, the village chief organized six ox carts to take the villagers into the city. Before leaving, each household handed over 300 yuan to the village chief, who bought glutinous rice. Yao Huang had already experienced the experience of ancient people buying New Year's goods before the Chinese New Year last year, and he didn't want to go again, so he practiced in the room. Because of the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array, the Yao family's aura is becoming more and more abundant, and in terms of aura concentration, it is completely able to catch up with the periphery of some major sects in the cultivation realm. Under such conditions, Yao Huang quickly settled down. Her cultivation in the early stage of foundation building has been stabilized, and now she is progressing little by little towards the middle stage.
When the sun set, there was a sound of laughter from far and near outside the village, and it was the people who had gone to the city to buy it had returned. Six ox carts were full of stuff. The Yao family did not lack food, so they did not buy much, only bought five pieces of fabric to make new clothes for the family, bought a firecracker, a pile of red paper, and bought a bag of dim sum and half a fan of lamb chops and mutton for food. The mutton was bought at Yao Qing's request, and he was thinking about the mutton hot pot that his second sister said. Although many people don't know the authentic method and eating method of Ludao hot pot, people's imagination is endless, and they have created many ways to eat that even Yao Huang has never heard of. Naturally, people from Qingshui Village and some nearby villages related to Qingshui Village can eat authentic hot pot, because everyone knows that the inventor of Ludao hot pot is the Yao family, and if you don't understand it, you can go to Yao's house to ask Yao Hong for advice. The winter in the north is too cold, and eating a hot pot can make the whole person warm up, so the hot pot is very popular, and the Yao family has also eaten hot pot several times after the winter comes.
"Second sister, is it okay to eat shabu mutton hot pot today?" After Yao Qing entered the door, he asked Yao Huang that a large lamb chop was on his shoulder, and he didn't feel heavy, just looked at Yao Huang with blank eyes.
"I'm all ready, what kind of hot pot is it? Put the lamb chops in the kitchen first and eat them after a few days. Yao Huang walked past Yao Qing, took the fabric and pastries from Wenren Qianye's hands, and put them on the cabinet by the corner of the kang.
"Then eat tomorrow, okay?" Yao Qing followed Yao Huang to bargain.
"I'll eat buns tomorrow, I'll wrap them all." Yao Huang refused, "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, make shabu-shabu hot pot the day after tomorrow." (To be continued......)
