Chapter 6 It's not as delicious as soup and rice
There are meat and vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian ones are cut into shreds, seasoned and put in a clay pot. The meat should be cooked first, then cut into thin slices, and mixed with some refreshing and non-raw side dishes.
While the pot was hot, she took one and used her knife to make a cut along the side, about a third of the way to the cake. Then gently pinch the cake and open it, then stuff the mixed vegetables or meat vegetables into it, wrap the bottom with clean oiled paper and eat.
The two cakes she made are not too big, which is convenient for Sihuaer and Dabao to eat, and the two children have small mouths, and the cakes are too big to make their faces dirty.
"You can taste it first." She made herself vegetarian food, and stuffed half of each of the two small meat and vegetarian dishes. Although there are only two or three slices of meat, the taste of the cold mix is very good, and the taste is not to mention how delicious it is with the dry and fragrant baked cakes. There's a bowl of soup with silk or something, and it's a good lunch.
There is no soup with silk, but there is a broth for boiling meat. She scooped a spoonful out and added water, then threw a handful of green leaves into it, put a little salt and green onions, and a bite of cake and a mouthful of soup, well, great.
One of the two little ones nibbled on two cakes and a big bowl of soup, and their little stomachs bulged.
"Sanhua'er, what you made is so delicious." Sihua'er licked her fingers and wanted to eat, but she was a child who knew how to measure and would not make excessive demands.
"I'm going to send a few to Aunt Zhang, do you still want to send Sanhua'er to the eldest sister's house?"
"Well, it's going to be delivered." Wei Jin got up with satisfaction and patted off the dandruff on his body, "You go to Aunt Zhang'er's house first, and I'll go to the eldest sister when you come back." ”
"If only the second sister's house wasn't so far away, I couldn't send such delicious things to the second sister."
"What can't you give me?" The sudden sound jumped, and when I turned my head, I saw that the second sister and the second brother-in-law had just entered the yard with two baskets on their backs.
"Second sister, second brother-in-law, I miss you." Dabao suddenly ran over and hugged the second sister's legs, "Did the second sister still bring meat?" ”
"I'm a little, think I'm fake, think my meat is real." Erhua'er, who laughed angrily, picked up Dabao and slapped him on the ass twice.
The second brother-in-law is a simple man, watching his wife messing with his younger siblings, he grinned, put down his things and went to chop wood and carry water for the family.
Wei Jin and Sihua'er can go up the hillside behind the village to drag firewood back, but they can't carry the whole firewood after burning, so they can only rely on the second brother-in-law to help cut it for ten days and a half every time. The water is easy to say, a bucket can be carried without moving, and the junior of Aunt Zhang's family next door will also help their family carry a piece of water every day.
The well shared in the village is located at the west end of the village, not far from their home, and it does not take time to carry water.
"Second brother-in-law, don't be busy, let's try this."
Seeing the second sister and second brother-in-law enter the door, Wei Jin hurriedly got two pot helmets with enough material to come out.
"You eat first, the soup is already burned, and it will be all right away." At this time, it was too late to make other soups, so she cut the vegetables a few times and made a vegetable egg drop soup.
"Just eat it for your own family, why are you making it so good?"
"There was a lot of meat and eggs that everyone sent last time, and I'm afraid I'll be bad if I don't eat them again. Besides, to eat for your sister and brother-in-law, how can it be called waste, no matter how good it is, it is not enough. ”
"You're fine, and you're sharp." Erhua pinched Wei Jin's face, "When I first entered the village, I heard people chewing on the root of their tongues, saying what kind of pot and helmet stove did you get, shouldn't this be it?" Erhua'er took the pot helmet and handed it to her husband first, and then picked up another one and took a bite.
"Hmm." Wei Jin thought about it for a few days before she found an explanation, which would be just an opportunity, "I was hit on the head before, and when I was dizzy, I remembered a lot of things, and I felt that I went to a very magical place, and I spent a lot of time wandering around, and I saw a lot of things that I had never seen before." When I woke up, I felt that my brain was swollen, and some things could be used differently when I looked at them. This pot helmet is what I saw in my dreams. ”
Erhua'er didn't have any opinion on her words. The people of this time and space seem to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but they are not so in awe, very contradictory but quite natural.
"Find a time, make an appointment with the eldest sister, and we will go to the White Pagoda Temple to worship." Erhua'er just said it casually, and she was more interested in the pot helmet than in Wei Jin's head.
Wei Jin smiled and told the second sister all about his plan. She may not be so honest with the eldest sister, but the second sister, a pungent woman, really feels sorry for her younger siblings without reservation, and on the other hand, Wei Jin will not hide anything from her. Of course, there are some things that the other party doesn't ask her and doesn't say, which is not deception and concealment, but just tacit understanding.
"This is good, it's better to let your second brother-in-law go back and inform my mother-in-law first, I will stay here for two days, and I will go to the crossing with you to explore the situation, if it is good, let your second brother-in-law go to buy meat and vegetables for you in the future, he moves quickly, and it is convenient to go back and forth to the town."
"That's the best. It's going to be hard second brother-in-law. "Wei Jin didn't say anything about money, I don't know if I can do business now, it's too early to say this. If she really earns money, can she still treat her sister and brother-in-law badly?
Since the second sister is here, it is best to send something to the eldest sister and let her go. She has a neat mouth and a fiery temperament, even if the eldest sister and the two concubines want to take advantage of the words, don't think about it if the second sister is there.
The second brother-in-law worked neatly, and prepared all the firewood and water in less than an hour. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and casually asked what was on the shelf on the back wall of the stove house.
"But it's a good thing. I just ate this with soup and rice in the evening. ”
The second sister sent a piece of fat meat the size of a palm to them to fry oil today. This piece of meat can be eaten for more than two months after it is fried.
There is also a pheasant with a broken neck, which was put on the mountain by the second brother-in-law, and it has been dealt with, and it only needs to be hung in the vent of the stove house to air dry. These are all items that are stored daily for a long time, and if they are busy, the two sisters can't take care of the little ones, and they won't run out of food.
Soup and rice are not cooked casually.
The broth cannot be preserved in this weather, and if you don't finish it, it will be spoiled the next day.
In the afternoon, I first stewed a pot of multigrain rice, the breast of the pheasant. Cut the dried meat two finger widths, chop the minced meat, stir well with egg whites, and beat it into a beating state. After the egg yolk is stirred, it is poured into the pan after frying the oil, and the egg skin is fried with the remaining oil.
After the egg skin is fried, take it out and chop it, and the green vegetable stalks are also chopped, pour the broth into the pot, and after boiling, pour the egg white mixed with the chicken minced chicken into it and stir it up, which is the famous chicken bean curd. After the bean curd is formed, scoop it up and put it aside, pour the stewed rice into the remaining soup, followed by the egg skin and green cabbage stalks, and boil together until the soup is about to dry up, and then put the chicken bean curd in and simmer it.
When the pot is finally cooked, the soup is almost dry, the multigrain rice absorbs enough fat from the broth, the particles are bright and crystalline, and it is accompanied by yellow crushed egg skin and green vegetable stalks, as well as snow-white chicken bean curd, sprinkled with a little salt, no other seasonings need to be added, it is already so fragrant that people can't stop drooling.
