Chapter 17: Fragrance
For this pot of fish head tofu soup, Zhao Yu really fought hard.
No matter what the Li family wanted to do, Zhao Yu only had fish head tofu soup in his eyes at this time, and in order to make this fish soup well, Zhao Yu even did something that could be regarded as a crime.
ran out of the stove directly, snatched the fish head from her milk hand, and by the way, in front of her milk, scooped out all the water in the iron pot and poured it into the swill bucket on the side.
Lee's ......
The impact was too great, and the Li people were stupid.
She couldn't imagine that Zhao Yu would dare to do this.
Like an old hen who had been pinched, Li stalked his neck, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Yu stupidly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Completely frightened.
Zhao Yu is a typical person who is not afraid of death.
Anyway, the scoop was scooped, and it was poured, Zhao Yu picked up the loofah that had been washed on the side and brushed it again against the iron pot.
I cleaned up all the unclean things such as plant ash left in the iron pot before.
In the end, she also used a clean cloth on the side to wipe the inside of the iron pot twice to make sure that the iron pot was really clean before stopping.
Wiping the beads of sweat from her head, Zhao Yu took advantage of her stunned moment, did not forget to pick up the jar of lard on the side, and dug up a chopstick pork and poured it into the iron pot.
There was still a fire burning in the stove, and the iron pot was getting warmer.
The lard that has condensed into a white paste meets a warm iron pan and directly turns into liquid oil and water.
Then, Zhao Yu threw the fish head into the iron pot.
"Sting, stinging, stinging—"
The warm oil hits the fish's head and makes a sizzling sound.
Such a sound also called Li back by the way.
Lee's ......
"Okay, you are a girl, and you dare to snatch the oil jar at home, and the oil at home...... ! This is all oil stored at home for half a year! ”
Li's heart was heartbroken, and now he was even more trembling with anger.
Zhao Yu turned his head, didn't listen or listened, Wang Ba recited the scriptures.
"Okay, you little girl, I'm going to teach you a good lesson today, so that you don't know how thick the sky is, and you dare to do anything......"
Li Shi was angry, and regardless of whether Zhao Yu was injured or not, he raised his hand to shoot it down.
"Milk, hurry up, turn it over, the fish head in the pot is going to be paste, and the oil is poured white."
Seeing the white smoke rising from the fish head in the iron pot, and the vague smell of mush, Zhao Yu immediately screamed in a hurry.
Without thinking about it, Zhao Yu directly stuffed the wooden shovel spoon on the side into Li's hand, and pushed Li next to the stove by the way.
Li, who still wanted to hit someone, was caught off guard by a wooden shovel, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses.
"I'm unlucky, don't hurry up and light a small fire."
Li didn't care about Zhao Yu anymore, she was distressed and hurried to rescue the fish head in the iron pot.
Oops, her oil!
But she saved up for half a year!
Zhao Yu didn't know that her milk was still distressed about the oil for frying the fish head, and at the moment she was most concerned about the fish head in the iron pot.
Listening to her grandmother's words, Zhao Yu hurriedly dragged the firewood in the stove out, and by the way, he didn't forget to put two pieces of slightly thicker wood into the stove.
The thick wood is not flammable, and after Zhao Yu simply and rudely pressed it, it really reduced the fire, which was not small.
Li took the opportunity to turn over the head of the fish inside, and then threw the rest of the fish body into it again.
Zhao Yu......
Zhao Yu was suffocated, "Milk, why do you put the fish body?" ”
Fish head tofu soup, there is nothing wrong with the fish body!
"What is so particular, what soup cannot be drunk, how can the head of the fish have more meat than the body of the fish."
Lee's explanation was powerful.
Zhao Yu......
What a talent she has!
Li Shi looked at the head and body of the fish in the iron pot that had been emitting white smoke, and his heart was filled with pain.
Don't say anything, Li even has the heart to die, and she said that she said before that it was good to make fish soup, and it didn't cost oil!
As a result, the backhanded loser girl stripped her of the oil that the family wanted to eat in the first ten years, and it was all wasted on this fishy fish.
I don't want to think about it, just this fish, how can you use oil if you give pigs something that pigs dislike to eat? Isn't this just a waste of good things?
You know, the lard she refined is only half a jar in total.
This is still their old Zhao family's good life last year, and the Li family was willing to spend a lot of money to buy a few catties of lard during the Chinese New Year.
The small half-jar of lard boiled out is the amount of their old Zhao family for half a year.
As a result, now that it is so ruined, the Li family is going to die of heartache.
The more he thought about it, the more Li looked at the head and body of the fish in the iron pot.
But when she thought that the oil had already entered the fish, Li suffocated.
But she can't stop doing it, isn't that even worse!
Li is reluctant!
In this way, under the mentality of Li beeping the dog and wanting to scold his mother, the head and body of the fish in the iron pot struggled to survive.
While Zhao Yu was burning the fire, he peeked at the situation in the iron pot.
As far as she can remember, in order to make a milky and delicious fish soup, the heat is one thing, and the ingredients are used.
Now that the oil has been used, the fish has been taken care of by her before it is thrown into the pot, and the heat is under her own control.
Next, add ingredients and wait for the fish head soup to come out of the pot.
Zhao Yuwu was full of passion there, and when he saw that the time was about the same, he began to let her milk add water and ingredients again.
Li's face was dark, but she had already given up on herself in her heart, she adhered to the idea of "I want to see what flowers you can make", and she did everything according to what Zhao Yu said.
Finally, with the wooden lid on the pot, Li clanged, threw down the wooden spatula, and turned around to go to the back of the kitchen.
Zhao Yu who realized it later: ......
Worst! She won't be angry.
Li was not only angry with Zhao Yu, she was also angry with herself.
Directly dizzy from her anger, she turned around and went to the back of the kitchen, and finally pondered for a long time, Li slapped her head, and was really confused.
Opening the small door of the wooden cabinet, Li lifted the pottery urn containing the family's grain, revealing the staple food corn contained in the urn.
Corn is not rice, but refers to a general term for food crops such as millet, cereals, sorghum, etc.
Of course, in addition to corn, the food crops they often eat are soybeans, wheat, and rice, but these crops have their own shortcomings.
Soybeans are eaten too much, wheat needs to be grinded and laborious, and rice is expensive, so these grains are also planted in the field, but they are not as common as corn.
In the past two years, an item called sweet potato has also been brought from the south, which is said to be delicious and high-yielding.
This year, their old Zhao family got two acres of sweet potatoes, which are not ripe yet, and they have not eaten them in their mouths, so the staple food of their family is still corn.
Taking out a wooden basin from the side, Li took out the rice bucket used to weigh the grain.
Rice bucket is also rice liter, which is used to weigh grain.
However, the rice bucket of the Li family is not as big as the rice in the grain shop in the city, and it is a household grain tool.
The rice bucket is spliced by several wooden planks to make a square bucket shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which can hold about two liters at a time, which is about seven taels.
At this time, the strong laborers of the family can eat about one and a half liters of grain without doing anything for a day.
This is still a strong laborer who only eats two meals a day, and he is not very open to eat, and if he really ignores it, this idea of food may be doubled.
You must know that even if the wind and rain are smooth, the yield of the dry field at home is not comparable to that of the paddy field all year round.
The yield of dry land is not high, at best, it is only 2 to 4 stone per acre.
Even if the paddy field is high, it is not high, on average about 3.5 stones, and some good fields can receive 4 or 5 stones, but that also refers to the real good fields, the land is fertile, and the water is moist.
They have so much fertile land in Shangwa Village, and the best ones are the indigenous villagers who live in the northeast, and the rest of the families can also receive a little more than 4 stones.
At this time, ten hes are equal to one liter, one bucket is equal to ten liters, and ten buckets are equal to one stone.
One liter is equivalent to a little more than a catty, and one stone is about one hundred and thirteen catties.
Remove the food that needs to be taxed at home, and ensure that the whole family is well fed and not starved to death, and after a year, their old Zhao family's food will be self-sufficient.
When the year is bad, they have to pay for food.
Nearly 40 wen a bucket of grain, not everyone can afford it.
At present, the eight adults and eight children in their family are all going to open their mouths to eat, and Li has to count the food.
After scooping up almost half a pot of grain, Li closed the door of the wooden cabinet and walked out with the corn to be steamed at night.
These corns are used to steam rice.
Simply cleaned up the clay kettle on the stove next door, Li cleaned the corn with his hands, then poured water into it, put it in the clay kettle and covered it.
Then, Li stuffed the firewood placed at the mouth of the stove and lit it.
Simply steaming this half pot of rice was not enough to eat, so Li went to the back of the kitchen and scooped out a few bowls of multigrain noodles, planning to add some minced wild vegetables to it, stick it to the edge of the iron pot, and make some multigrain cakes to eat.
It's not that the Li family doesn't give them delicious food, it's really that the family doesn't have this condition.
This multigrain cake mixed with wild vegetables is not something that everyone can eat.
The reason why the Li family can do it is that there is enough food at home, otherwise, the whole family will eat that idea of steamed rice, anyway, no one can eat enough, but they will not starve to death.
Just when the Li family reconciled the noodles and planned to use the iron pot to paste the cakes.
Smelled a scent.
This fragrance, the gluttonous worms in Gou's Li stomach are about to come out.
Saliva unconsciously flowed out, fragrant, this is really fragrant!
Lee's eyes were fixed on the iron pot with the lid on.
That's where the scent she smells, if that's right.
