Chapter 018: Demonstration (8)

Grandpa Huo touched things, and Liu Min had already put the cabbage in the bamboo basket in front of the back pot on the stove; Let Xiao Hongping stand over and prepare the stir-fry.

Liu Min planned to let Xiao Hongping do it himself this time, and after cutting the cabbage, he cut the three accessories of green onions, ginger, garlic and cabbage together and set them aside.

After the main materials, accessories and seasonings were configured, Liu Min explained to Xiao Hongping one by one; It is said that the main ingredient used for vinegared cabbage is cabbage; The auxiliary ingredients are, ginger, garlic, and the seasoning is naturally salt, pepper, and aged vinegar.

Originally, there was no vinegar in the cypress forest, and even if there was, it was made of fruit.

Liu Minniang came to the cypress forest and brought the technology of brewing vinegar from grain, and Liu Minniang used grain to cook vinegar; Huo Renfu asked her wife to follow along.

Huo Renfu's wife is a careful and loyal person, from the whole process of making koji, fermentation, boiling vinegar, and pouring vinegar to study hard and experience, and finally learn the craft of making vinegar from grain.

After Liu Minniang went west, the craft of pouring vinegar in the cypress forest was not broken; It was taught by Huo Renfu's wife to other women, and other women were taught to other women.

The vinegar made of grain tastes very good, and the villagers of the cypress forest have become accustomed to eating jealousy since then; The residents of Shuangliu, Jianyang and even Chengdu are also accustomed to eating the grain vinegar taught by Liu Minniang, and they can't leave three meals a day.

The old vinegar that Liu Min's family uses now is taken from Grandpa Huo's house, and in the past few years, all the vinegar eaten by Liu Min's family has been supplied by Grandpa Huo's family.

Liu Min instructed Xiao Hongping to pour a small spoon of clear oil into the back pot, ready to pour in green onions, ginger, and garlic; But at this time, the fire in the stove was weak, and the oil poured into the pot could not be heated.

Liu Min hurriedly squatted in front of the door of the stove, stuffed a few hard firewoods inside, pulled the bellows and fanned the wind a few times; And the fire began to burn in the hunting ground.

As soon as the fire in the stove was bright, the oil in the back pot "squeaked" and burst out; Xiao Hongping asked Liu Min if he wanted to pour green onions, ginger, and garlic into it?

Liu Min said that he waited for the oil to fry and then poured in the green onions, ginger and garlic, and said that the form of fried oil was that the oil at the bottom of the pot no longer foamed.

The oil in the oil pot slowly dissipated the foam under the fire in the stove, and Liu Min said: "Now you can pour onions, ginger and garlic!" ”

Xiao Hongping poured the green onions, ginger and garlic on the kitchen knife into the oil pot.

There was a loud bang, and the hot oil made a deafening sound after touching the green onions, ginger and garlic; Liu Min reminded Xiao Hongping to pour the main ingredient cabbage into it.

After Xiao Hongping poured in the cabbage, she stood by the pot and looked at it in a daze, not knowing what to do next.

"Pick up a spatula and stir!" Liu Min shouted, snatched the spatula from Xiao Hongping's hand, stirred it a few times, and handed it to Xiao Hongping: "In the future, I will follow this procedure!" ”

Xiao Hongping followed Liu Min's appearance and stirred the shovel in the back pot with a spatula, and the cabbage was colored; Liu Min asked Xiao Hongping to pour the vinegar into it, and then put the salt and other spices on the table.

After the material was dropped, Liu Min asked Xiao Hongping to fill the pot with some water, cover the pot and simmer; Xiao Hongping acted in accordance with the law.

The simple and convenient vinegared cabbage quickly came out of the pot, Huo Renfu picked up a pair of chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth, chewed it and said with a laugh: "Sister Liu, you already know how to cook!" This taste is much better than what my sister makes! ”

Liu Min knew that Grandpa Huo intended to encourage Xiao Hongping, so he picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth to chew, and said, "Well, it's really good!" ”

Liu Min chewed the cabbage and said: "You can make delicious vinegared cabbage as soon as you get started, and the dishes for every meal in the future must be top-notch!" ”

Xiao Hongping's face was lit up by Huo Renfu and Liu Min's praise, and she couldn't help but feel excited in her heart; Glancing at Huo Renfu and Liu Mindao, "Aren't Brother Huo and Minzi going to the rice field?" Why don't you eat and go again! ”

Xiao Hongping said, uncovering the front pot of steamed rice to see that the rice was ready; So he personally took a bowl and served a bowl to Huo Renfu and Liu Min, and the vinegared cabbage was served on a plate and brought to the courtyard and placed on the stone.

The three of them sat across from each other and ate their meals with gusto.

Liu Min was amazed at Xiao Hongping's changes while eating, regretting that he shouldn't have slapped her a few times before; He also folded the bamboo stick in half and threw it into the distance.

can look back: If he hadn't done that at that time, Xiao Hongping would probably still have roared and scolded the street in Hedong; It was precisely because of those slaps that Xiao Hongping learned to be obedient.

There are hundreds of people of all kinds, and some people are born with a smoking; The leather whip kept pumping from behind, and he or she was as obedient as a sheep; Diligent as a dog.

Liu Min thought to himself and couldn't help but feel comfortable; After all, her current thinking is the consciousness of a medical doctor in the 21st century, and her ability to analyze and judge problems has been finalized.

Liu Min and Grandpa Huo had dinner with Xiao Hongping and wanted to go to the rice field, and Xiao Hongping served a bowl of rice for the first time; The vegetables were put on it and asked Liu Min to bring them to Liu Er.

Liu Min took the meal from Xiao Hongping's hand, and his face showed an unpredictable look......

Liu Min's rice field is in the southeast village of the cypress forest, and that piece of land is all the public land of Jixian Temple; The abbot entrusted a Nanjun man named Gou Yan to be the bookkeeper.

Gou Yan is more powerful than his master, and leases all the public land in the southeast village to the villagers of the cypress forest; The annual rent should not be less.

Liu Min's rice and wheat fields dried up and failed last year because they were not watered in time, and they couldn't even pay the rent. Gou Yan led a group of monks in the temple to beat Liu Er and wanted to take back the land, and Huo Renfu stood up to calm the turmoil.

Huo Renfu asked Gou Yan: "If you can't pay the rent, you will beat people, and you have to take back the land, which family's regulations are this!" ”

Gou Yan said confidently: "This is the regulation of Jixian Temple!" ”

Huo Renfu replied: "Then if you can pay the rent!" ”

Gou Yan saw that Huo Renfu was tall and majestic; A little timidly replied: "As long as the rent is handed over to the acres of land, it is intact!" ”

After Gou Yan said this, he didn't say anything, and Huo Renfu said unrelentingly: "Huo took Liu Er to hand over the rent owed, but what should you do with the monk's affairs?" ”

The villagers who gathered around had already gritted their teeth with hatred for Gou Yan, and when they saw Huo Renfu asking like this, they said in unison: "Use the beating account to offset the rent, or none of these bald donkeys want to leave here!" ”

Gou Yan saw that he and a dozen monks had been surrounded by hundreds of villagers in the cypress forest, and knew that something was wrong; had to promise Huo Renfu not to mention the beating again, and he didn't even pay a grain of rent twice.

Liu Er's rice fields and wheat fields only existed under the protection of Huo Renfu and his fellow villagers.

Liu Min walked towards the rice field, while thinking about Grandpa Huo's care and protection for their family; I can't tell what it's like in my heart.

Piece by piece of rice fields show Liu Min, who has been watering the rice fields since she was five years old; said that she watered, but in fact, Grandpa Fire asked the Fire Buffalo to accompany her to water; Liu Min could only follow behind the fire buffalo and shout this and that in a fuss, looking innocent.

It was the season to water the rice fields, but there was a group of people shouting around the pond at the inlet, and Liu Min didn't know what it was for; When he withdrew his gaze, he saw Liu Er squatting on the ridge with a calm expression......
