Chapter 52: I'm used to it
They are all ordinary people who are used to living a hard life, and Cher is understandable, because she herself is that kind of person.
"Yes, the big sister really doesn't need you." Yun also persuaded.
She instructed Xue'er: "Use these ribs to stew radish and kelp, dry shrimp with egg cake and shredded meat to mix cold vegetables, cut a handful of leeks and scramble eggs for a while, fry a piece of meat with fungus, add some carrots and cabbage slices, steam a dried fish, and fry a minced meat eggplant." ”
Yun put the things down and arranged them one by one.
Dong Changqian hurriedly said: "Isn't the second sister-in-law a little too much, there are only four of us, where can we eat so much?" ”
You must know that in this era of farming, it is very decent for someone to come up with a scrambled egg and a meat dish, but the Yun family prepared six dishes at once, which is really a lot.
"You two sisters finally came to your sister-in-law's house once, and if you don't prepare something good, how can the second sister-in-law's heart be ironed? Not much, just right. Yun didn't care.
After arranging the dishes, Yun took the sickle and was about to go to the field to cut leeks and pluck shallots.
Dong Changqian hurriedly snatched the small sickle in Yun's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, you listen to me, you go to the kang to accompany Qiu'er to talk for a while."
Don't look at Qiu'er's happiness, in fact, she gave birth to two daughters at a time this time, her mother-in-law was a little unhappy, Qiu'er was not happy, the second sister-in-law was the most comforting, you go and tell her.
asked me to sit and wait for food, but I couldn't sit still, and the eldest sister helped Xue'er to help. ”
She also didn't want the Yun family to be pregnant and have to eat for their sisters, so she found a proper excuse to take her away.
The Yun family was finally explained by Dong Changqian, instructed him, and turned around to do "ideological work" for Dong Changqiu.
She is actually a rather heartless person, and she has some chivalrous heart that is old-fashioned and warm-hearted.
In short, in Xue'er's eyes, the Yun family is a fickle woman!
Seeing the Yun family leaving, Dong Changqian turned to Xue'er and said, "The eldest aunt and the second aunt have caused trouble for Xue'er. There was obvious guilt and reluctance in her eyes.
Although she is not good-looking, her mouth is very beautiful, and her teeth are very white, like pearlescent shells, one after the other, neatly and neatly.
The heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, the ear beads are thick and fleshy, and it looks like a back width. Overall, it gives Cher a kind feeling.
Xue'er blinked her bright eyes and comforted this sensitive woman with a smile: "Auntie, you are really outside, even if the two aunts don't stay to eat, Xue'er has to do this, and she is used to it."
Auntie doesn't have to be like this, we are a family, and every year Xue'er goes to Auntie's house, it's not less troublesome for Auntie, isn't it? The aunt finally came once, and Xue'er had to help the aunt. ”
Dong Changqian touched Xue'er's head, facing this niece who had been living a difficult life for the first time, and said with tears in her eyes: "Auntie go and cut leeks." ”
Xue'er pretended not to see the tears in her eyes, and smiled brightly: "Thank you so much, auntie, by the way, pluck a few shallots." ”
Dong Changqian went out, and Xue'er began to prepare, first soaking dried fish, dried kelp, dried shrimp and dried eggplant in boiling water, and then soaking the pork ribs in water.
Because in order to preserve these ribs, the surface is smeared with a layer of salt, and it will be a little salty when cooking directly, and the meat taken out by the Yun family also needs to be soaked.
Break off the dried leaves of the cabbage and wash it with the carrots and green radish.
Yun took out a total of six eggs, and Cher spread a thin omelet in the pot with two eggs.
Shred and slice the cabbage hearts for later use, change the carrots to a knife and slice them, leaving half of them shredded. Cut the carrots into hob pieces.
Wash the garlic and ginger and cut them out for later use.
When these are done, shred part of the soaked meat and use it to mix cold dishes, part of it is sliced, and part of it is cut into meat foam for stir-frying.
By the time these were done, Dong Changqian had already picked up the leeks, and the shallots had been peeled and headed.
Xue'er smiled and said to her, "Auntie, please help Xue'er chop the ribs into sections, and Xue'er washes the leeks." ”
Dong Changqian didn't expect her to pick up leeks when she was picking up, and Xue'er almost did the preparations, and said in her heart that this kid is used to doing these jobs!
By the time Dong Changqian chopped the ribs, Xue'er had already washed the leeks.
"Cher, what's next?" Dong Changqian could have started directly, but when she saw that Xue'er arranged it in an orderly manner, she asked her directly.
"Auntie cut leeks, I'll blanch the ribs." Cher knew that she was genuinely helping, so she was not polite.
The firewood was very strong, and soon she stepped on a low stool to blanch the pork ribs, and Xue'er blanched the pork food with the water from blanching the ribs.
Seeing Xue'er carrying a pig food bucket to feed the pigs, seeing her struggling to carry the bucket, Dong Changqian hurriedly put down the work in her hand and stepped forward to help: "Auntie is going to help you feed the pigs, you can pick the fungus!" ”
"Well, okay, thank you, auntie. By the way, auntie, if the tiger bites you, you can just call it by its name. Xue'er's smiling face was so pure, and she didn't feel impatient at all because of doing these heavy housework, Dong Changqian admired it in her heart.
She answered and went out with the bucket of pig food.
At this moment, Cher's niece really came into her heart, and many years later, because of the kindness she once released to Cher, she got a reward that she couldn't imagine.
At that time, Dong Changqian lamented Xue'er's past in front of her children, and used Xue'er's perseverance and unyielding character to educate her children and grandchildren.
Xue'er is not mistaken, Dong Changqian is indeed a woman with a right back, of course, those are afterwords.
After the preparation is done, Xue'er steam the soaked dried fish to the drawer by steaming the method, then add a small spoon of lard to the boiled pot, fry the shredded meat and let it cool for later use.
Put a spoonful of lard into the hot pot again, add ginger, star anise, and Sichuan pepper to stir-fry until the flavor is achieved, and then add the blanched re-washed pork ribs to stir-fry until fragrant.
Finally, add a little soy sauce, sugar, rice wine to taste, add an appropriate amount of water, and then pour in the green radish and kelp slices.
Because of the limited seasoning, Cher has tried to season it as much as possible.
Cover the pot with a wooden lid, add two sticks of firewood to the bottom of the stove, and wait for it to boil on its own.
Take out a clay pot, put the shredded cabbage and shredded carrots, shredded eggs, fried shredded meat and soaked dried shrimp together, and then cut a little shredded fungus to match the color, and finally put in the seasonings, especially rice vinegar and sugar, and the cold vegetables mixed out are sweet and sour.
So the three dishes are ready.
While waiting for the two dishes to be cooked, Cher chopped the bad cabbage leaves she had just picked on a special cutting board, and mixed with millet with some rice bran.
