After washing the wild mountain ginger, I washed all the peppers I secretly picked in the yard of Cai's house in the morning, cut off the roots directly, and kept the whole pepper.

Some are half green and half red, and some are all red, and they look particularly good with pale yellow wild ginger.

In fact, it is said that the earthen jar here is nothing more than a jar the size of a bosom, some of which are used to make pickles, and some are placed in the cellar to store bacon and dried food.

Clean the jar, hang it upside down to control the water stains inside, and then put the washed wild ginger in first, pour water, and slightly spread the wild ginger.

Finally, he took some coarse salt from Ding's hand and threw some of it in, and finally put all the peppers in and put them in and put them away.

Ding has long wanted to eat pickled beans, but his skills are not good, and he can't always go back to his parents' house to get these things, seeing that Cai Yuanyuan seems to be able to make these things, he hurriedly handed them over to Cai Yuanyuan.

Cai Yuanyuan cleaned the beans, cut them in half and placed them around the peppers, which were just covered with water.

She closed the lid of the jar, took another piece of broken steps and put it on the lid, and finally added a slightly smoother stone.

It's been three or four hours since this operation.

"That's it?"

Cai Qinian and Cai Dali, who bought tofu and came back, both stared at her curiously.

didn't wait for Cai Yuanyuan to come back, Ding Shi said anxiously, "Almost, it's similar to my mother's technique, I didn't expect this little girl to be so powerful, my mother also taught me, but the taste I made is too unpalatable, otherwise it will stink!" ”

Cai Yuanyuan smiled, these things were all figured out by himself, and he was glad that he had observed it for a long time and did it himself.

"In two or three days, it'll probably be fine!"

Cai Yuanyuan walked to the well and washed his hands, took the herb leaves and crushed them to completely cover up the smell of pickles in his hands, and finally washed them again.

Cai Dali circled around the clay pot, "Then I'll wait for Yuanyuan's craftsmanship." ”

"It's not too early, it's time to make dinner!"

Ding glanced at the sky, the sun was setting, and the sky was faint and red in the distance, and the setting glow was looming.

"Brother Dali, please catch me out of the loach!"

Cai Yuanyuan measured the distance between his arm and the water tank, and he could use it as a bathtub for her.

Cai Dali responded, raised his hand and reached in, and his fingers pinched the head of the loach with a slight force and fell out one by one.

Cai Yuanyuan quickly grabbed the loaches with thick leaves and carried them to the well, and the handle of the knife quickly knocked out the two loaches with slight force.

With a knife in his hand, he quickly broke his abdomen and pulled the internal organs, cleaned them, and grabbed coarse salt for the loaches to marinate for a while.

In fact, the coarse salt here is also the kind of salt stone, just with a hint of salt, which is not very valuable, but it is often used by farmers.

A kind of grass similar to fennel that is usually used at home can be used for tichuan, and it is all smeared on the loach.

Chop the ginger, shallots, and garlic into cubes.

"Look at how neat this round cooking is, this looks better than me!"

In the face of Ding's praise, Cai Yuanyuan smiled sweetly and praised Ding's for being so good to her, if it weren't for Ding's possibility, how could he do these things.

The two men boasted back and forth, and the two men next to them couldn't sit still, glanced at each other, and simply entered the kitchen to prepare for the fire under the stove.

When the loaches were almost marinated, Cai Yuanyuan carried everything he had cut into the kitchen, and Cai Qinian had already steamed the corn buns and taro.

After the corn buns were ripe, Ding went directly to the main house with the cage drawer, and Cai Yuanyuan cut the tofu into slices and fried them in the pot.

Fry until both sides are golden and fragrant, then copy them all, then rub a little refined lard in the pan, throw the loach down and fry it on both sides, pour water, and throw the chopped ginger and garlic into it.

Wait until the water boils and it becomes a milky white soup, then put the tofu in it and throw it into the wild shallots.

The rich smell of tofu began to spread out of the kitchen, and Cai Dali, who was sitting in the yard, couldn't help but pace back and forth.

"Yun Gu doesn't come back today, and the academy only comes back every four days. Vigorously, you go and call the wind and Xiuxiu. ”

Ding thought for a moment and shouted at Cai Dali.

Cai Yuanyuan, who was in the kitchen, heard it and hurriedly walked out, "Auntie, I'll take a crockpot and sneak it back later, don't let my eldest brother and sister come." ”

It's okay to come once or twice, but you can't come every time, which is a bit excessive.

Ding wanted to say something, but Cai Dali responded, "I think it's okay to do this, lest grandpa and grandma say something!" ”

The Ding family had no choice but to give up, and Cai Qinian under the stove had no right to speak.

"Alright, it's time to eat!"

When the lid was lifted, the entire kitchen was shrouded in smoke, and the pot was filled with milky white soup and faintly visible tofu.

"Yuanyuan, you're too powerful!"

Cai vigorously blew the edge of the bowl and took a small sip, the bean fragrance spread in the mouth with the aroma of meat, and there was no fishy smell of loach at all.

"Brother Dali, if you praise me like this again, I will be proud!"

Cai Qinian stood up from under the stove and smiled, raised his hand and touched Cai Yuanyuan's head, "It's nothing to be proud, you can be a cook with this skill." ”

Ding came back from the main house with a steamed bun and said with a smile: "That's not it, how good this round is if our family is good!" ”

Cai Dali hurriedly raised his head, "That's not good, if Yuanyuan becomes our family, then my status is estimated to become a stepping stone!" ”

"You think you're not?"

Ding glared at him, kicked him to signal him to give way, and then gave Cai Yuanyuan a taro, "Yuanyuan eat more!" ”

"Thank you, auntie!"

Cai Yuanyuan took a sip of milky white soup, and the warmth eased the tiredness of the whole body along the stomach, and he couldn't help but sigh that he could still borrow someone else's pot to drink this soup.

When Cai Yuanyuan finished eating, Ding took the small clay pot to the kitchen and scooped the soup, and by the way, he also sandwiched the remaining loach into it.

Cai Yuanyuan was a little surprised, "Auntie." ”

Another loach is also eaten by Cai Qinian and Cai Dali, and it is difficult to eat some meat and fish this year!

"Take this back to your brother and sister to eat, don't forget my share of the good things in the future!"

"Thank you, auntie."

Cai Yuanyuan's smile was more sincere than ever.

In the end, it was Cai Dali who carried the wind lantern in front of him, pulled and held the crockpot, and Cai Yuanyuan slowly walked through the village and returned to the courtyard of Cai's house.

"Thank you, Brother Dali!"

After Cai Yuanyuan saw Cai Dali leave, he secretly hid the clay pot behind the stone behind the house, which is where Cai Dali often comes.

After tidying up his clothes, Cai Yuanyuan walked into the courtyard and seemed to have eaten.

"Coming back?"

Cai Dafeng's voice came from the courtyard, Cai Yuanyuan took a closer look, and saw him sitting on the stone at the door, under the faint moonlight, the black eyes were very obvious.
