Li Yangqing sat in the courtyard and looked at the two of them, thinking for a moment, "That's it!" Let's make a fried salted duck egg with leeks at noon! Plus mixed vegetable cakes and kudzu corn porridge. ”

"Sister-in-law, what is fried salted duck eggs with leeks? What is "stir-frying"? I haven't eaten it, how can duck eggs be salty? Wen Shui, because he had just arrived at Li's house, missed the last time he made salted duck eggs, and listened to the names of these dishes reported by Li Yangqing, and tilted his head with his big eyes and was a little curious.

"Let's go, let's go to the kitchen first, and you'll find out later." Li Yangqing pulled the two of them to the kitchen.

Li Yangqing walked straight to the jar where the salted duck eggs were placed, and opened the sealed lid a little excitedly, this is the first salted duck egg made by himself, but it must be successful, he reached out and touched the jar, took out nine salted duck eggs in turn, and prepared to fry seven at noon, leaving two for Li Qiu and Li Yangming who went to the town to taste, "Wenshui, Wenqiu, you see, this is the salted duck egg, we have to remove the mud outside first, and then wash it with water and cook it before you can eat it." ”

After listening to Li Yangqing's words, Li Wenqiu found a wooden basin and put the salted duck eggs with mud in it, Wenshui found three bamboo slices and distributed them to the two of them, used to scrape the mud, the three of them squatted on the ground around the wooden basin, scraped up, scraped the mud on the duck eggs, and then added some water to the basin and cleaned it several times, and then put it in the bowl.

"Wen Shui, you then wash the leeks and kudzu, see what are the leftover vegetables in the house, wash more, and make cakes later, Wen Qiu, you scoop the water into the two pots on the stove, I will make a fire together, wait for the water to boil a porridge, and a cook, so faster."

After Li Yangqing finished arranging, he sat down in front of the stove, took out the flint and lit the firewood, and the fire ignited after a while.

The water in the pot made a "gurgling" sound, it seemed to be boiling, Li Wenqiu opened the lid of the pot, and the water in the pot was about to bubble out, "The water is hot, I want to put salted duck eggs in it." Li Yangqing stood on the small bench by the stove, and carefully put the duck eggs into the pot one by one, for fear of breaking.

"I've washed the dishes, I've cut them, sister-in-law, there shouldn't be anything to wash, right?" Wen Shui put the washed vegetables on the cutting board, picked up the knife and cut it.

"There's nothing to wash, just cut the leeks into small pieces, and cut the other vegetables into longer pieces." Li Yangqing advised.

Wen Shui picked up the kitchen knife and cut it carefully, Li Wenqiu put the cut kudzu root and washed corn into the pot, stirred for a moment and covered the lid, and boiled slowly over low heat.

After the salted duck eggs were cooked, Li Wenqiu scooped them up and put them in cold water to cool, and after waiting for a while, Li Wenqiu touched the salted duck eggs in the cold water, "Sister-in-law, this duck egg can be peeled." Li Yangqing left the stove and walked to the stove, and the three of them stood by the stove and peeled off the shell.

"Yikes! This egg peeled off its shell, and oil actually flowed out. Li Wenqiu looked at the oil emerging from the peeled duck eggs and said with a new curiosity.

"It's normal, that's what makes salted duck eggs so special."

"It's amazing! This salted duck egg must be delicious. Wen Shui was also a little excited.

"Wenqiu, you use chopsticks to break this salted duck egg clip and make it into small pieces, so that it will be easy to fry later." Wen Qiu took the plate of salted duck eggs and put them on the cutting board, picked up the chopsticks to open the complete salted duck eggs and made them smaller, only to see the white egg whites wrapped in the red and yellow egg yolks, flowing red oil and water, which attracted the flow of mouth, Li Wenqiu took a chopstick and fed it to the two people around him, and he also tasted it.

"Oops! It's so delicious, salty, rustling, it should be even better with rice. Li Wenqiu squinted his eyes and returned to the taste, and Wen Shui also nodded.

"It's delicious! Let's start stir-frying salted duck eggs! Wen Shui wants to trouble you to help me burn the fire, Wen Qiu will help me do it. Li Yangqing interrupted the two people who were still reminiscing, put the duck eggs and leeks on the stove, and stood on the small bench next to the stove, there was no way that they were too short to reach the pot on the stove, and it was inconvenient to stir-fry.

"Wen Qiu, bring that oil jar."

"Okay, sister-in-law." Li Wenqiu put the oil jar on the stove, Li Yangqing scooped a spoonful of lard with a spoon and put it in the pot, and after the oil melted and the sound of "zizizi", he poured a plate of salted duck eggs into the hot oil, stir-fried repeatedly with a spatula until the fragrance came out, and then poured the leeks into the pot and continued to fry, so that the green leeks were covered with yellow salted duck eggs, and finally put in a little salt and stir-fried a few times.

"It smells so good!" Wen Qiu and Wen Shui smelled the aroma wafting through the kitchen, and couldn't help but stretch their necks and sniff the fragrant stir-fry with their noses.

"Wenqiu, you put those mixed vegetables in a basin, put flour, water, and salt in an empty bowl, stir them into a batter, pour them on top of the mixed vegetables, and then stir well, this mixed vegetable cake is the same recipe as the golden ball we sell in the town, only one is fried, and the other is fried."

After listening to Li Yangqing's instructions, Li Wenqiu took action, poured the stirred batter on top of the mixed vegetables, stirred it quickly with chopsticks, and put it on the stove.

Li Yangqing put another spoonful of lard in the pot, and after the lard turned into oil and water, he used a spatula to pour oil on the oily places in the pot, grabbed the miscellaneous vegetables with his hands, put them in the pot after forming a ball, flattened them into a cake shape with a spatula, quickly kneaded the remaining miscellaneous vegetables into a ball, put them in the pot and pressed them into cakes, and after frying on one side, use a spatula to continue to fry slowly, this pot of mixed vegetables was fried with about 30 cakes, and the hot cakes that had just come out of the pot were put into the basket.

Li Yangqing jumped down from the small bench, shook his hands vigorously, and finally finished the dishes to be eaten at noon, and kept a part of the amount of food for the three members of the family while it was hot, and put the other dishes into the basket to be used to deliver rice to the people in the field, and covered the boiled porridge with a wooden basin, and then filled several bamboo tubes of water and chopsticks into another basket.

"Let's go! We deliver food. Li Yangqing found three straw hats and put one on each of them, this will be the time when the sun is the hottest, and it will be better to wear hats.

Li Yangqing was about to go to the wooden basin, but was stopped by Li Wenqiu and said: "Sister-in-law, you are smaller than me, and your strength is not as great as mine, I will carry the wooden basin, Wenshui will carry the vegetable basket, and you will be responsible for the water and the dishes and chopsticks." ”

"Oh well! Thank you very much. Li Yangqing lifted the basket of water and chopsticks and went out of the courtyard gate first, Li Wenqiu walked to the back and closed the courtyard door, and the three of them hurried to the edge of the paddy field at home in the scorching sun, found a shady tree to put things under it, and saw that the family had finished cutting two acres of land.

Li Yangqing raised his hand and shouted, "Father, second grandfather, brother and sister-in-law, nephews, you are about to go to the field for dinner." ”

When the people who were still burying their heads in cutting grain heard the voice, they all straightened up and turned their heads in the direction of Li Yangqing.

"It's time to eat! I'm so hungry! Let's hurry up. As soon as Li Chenggang heard that there was something to eat, he hurriedly took his brother's hand with a sickle and ran to the shore, and when he ran, he drove the mud from the paddy field and threw it on his clothes.

Li Yangqing saw that everyone was seated, and handed the water out, "You guys drink some water first!" Today we made mixed vegetable cakes, kudzu corn porridge, and fried salted duck eggs with leeks. Li Wenqiu and Wenshui gave the bowl of rice to everyone one by one.

"Really? Salted duck eggs are ready to eat! Then I have a good mouth today, I'll taste it first. Li Yangwu picked up the chopsticks and put a chopstick leek fried salted duck egg in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and when the others saw this, they also stretched their chopsticks to the plate of fried salted duck eggs with leeks.

"Well, it's delicious, it's salted duck eggs, we've never eaten them before." Li Si sighed while eating.

"I think this salted duck egg is perfect for drinking! Big brother, let's have two drinks when it's okay! Li Zhongshun tasted the taste of salted duck eggs and felt that it was suitable for wine, which caused a wine addiction in his stomach, and he couldn't help but continue to stretch his chopsticks to the plate.

Old Man Li also nodded, "The taste is good, this is what Yang Qing figured out when he was fine, I didn't expect it to taste so good, hehe!" ”

"Little sister, Wen Qiu, Wen Shui, the food you cooked today is delicious, and this miscellaneous vegetable cake is also good, it is delicious and full." Li Sun tasted the miscellaneous vegetable cake and praised it.

Li Chengqiang and a few boys just lowered their heads to eat the vegetables, eating with relish, and a vague sound came out of their mouths, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." words

"Yangqing, Wenshui, Wenqiu, have you eaten?" Li Qiu turned his head to look at the three people sitting next to him.

"Milk, not yet, you eat first, let's go back and eat slowly, we are not in a hurry." Wen Qiu replied truthfully.

"Then you watch us eat, you are hungry! Come, each of you eats a piece of bread, and first cushions your belly, so that the little ones will not be hungry. After hearing this, Li Wenshi hurriedly used chopsticks to sandwich a miscellaneous vegetable cake for each of the three people.

"Thank you, Auntie, we'll be back to eat later." Wen Shui took it, a little embarrassed.

After everyone finished eating, sat in the shade of the tree and rested for a short time, Li Yangqing and the three little girls packed up the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the basket, "Dad, second grandfather, brothers and aunts, let's go back first." ”

"Sister-in-law, Sister Wenqiu, Sister Wenshui, the lunch at noon is delicious! What do you want to eat at night? Li Cheng just ate and cared about the next meal again.

"Hehe, you glutton!" Li Wenqiu couldn't help but pull Li Chenggang's fleshy little face with his hand.

When the three of them returned home, they went into the kitchen and put down the basket, and they couldn't wait to bring out the hot food in the pot, and the three of them ate around the stove.

"Oh, this salted duck egg is really delicious!"

"Cousin, if it's delicious, you can eat more, hehe!" Wen Shui sandwiched a chopstick, leek and salted duck eggs into Li Wenqiu's bowl, and the three of them finished their meal sweetly, washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, sat in the courtyard, and continued to pick up the kudzu vine leaves.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think we should cook at night? In the evening, my mother and third uncle will also come back. ”

Li Yangqing looked at Li Wenqiu, "Well, let's make it simpler at night!" Stir-fry loofah, stewed kudzu root with radish, and porridge with millet and soy! ”

Wen Shui nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law, we didn't know there was such a thing as stir-fried vegetables before, I think as long as it is fried, it is delicious, but it costs a bit of oil." ”

"Indeed, there may be someone in the capital who makes this stir-fry, and those nobles are not short of oil at home, maybe someone in their family has already studied it."

"Sister-in-law, I really want to go to the capital to have a look! What does it look like? Li Wenqiu asked with a sigh in passing.

"We don't know this, when we grow up in the future, we will have the opportunity to save more money." Li Yangqing encouraged and comforted the two little girls.

The sun was gradually about to set, only the afterglow reflected the clouds in the sky, red and red, Li Yangqing looked up at the sky, "We're going to have dinner, and they'll come back for dinner later." ”
