Chapter 16: Stir-fry and eat
"Grandma, today the eldest sister went to the kang room to take a look, the vegetables planted in it have begun to mature, we can pick them and eat them." After eating river mussel soup for two months, or it is river mussel stewed soil poria, as for those rabbits have long been eaten by the Huang family, Huang Yiyun is a little tired of eating, until today, I went to look at the kang room planted in the greenhouse, and saw that the vegetables planted were ripe, and they could start to pick them off and eat, Huang Yiyun walked in front of Huang Li's and shook Huang Li's arm.
"You kid, you're all thinking about eating. Okay, now that the dishes in the kang room are cooked, let's start eating the first meal today. Huang Li said with a little Huang Yiyun's eyebrows.
After the successful planting of the greenhouse, Huang Yiyun proposed that his family start to eat two meals a day, one meal a day, the food is sparse and sparse, and the hungry stomach growls at night, and it is really unbearable.
Huang Li also has a plan, how much food her family eats every day, and how full she can eat, she has a scale in her heart, and she also pondered, it's a big deal to pick up the vegetables, and when the time comes, it will be easier to take them on the road to eat.
After hearing that they could go to the kang room to pick vegetables and fry them, they grinned one by one, busy looking for baskets, and picked vegetables in the kang room with grandma and their eldest sister.
Huang Liu and Huang Jiang saw the happy little appearance of this group of babies, from the original thin, not enough to eat to now full of vitality and happiness, although they are still thin, but much better than the original, they looked at each other, their eyes were full of satisfaction and happiness.
Batches of green beans have grown on the bean shelves in the kang room, eggplants have grown a lot of large or small, and cucumbers are almost the same.
Celery and spinach have grown a large number of edible ones.
"Second sister, third sister, you take a few small ones, pick some spinach and celery, let's eat it tonight, eldest sister, you pick the grown beans, eggplants and cucumbers with Grandma, and Grandma pickles them and keeps them for eating on the road in spring." Huang Li commanded.
"Okay, grandma, eldest sister is here to help." Huang Yiyun can understand Huang Li's mood, he was worried that he would not be able to find food before, but now that he has some food, he can't help but save it for later.
Now it has grown into a batch of vegetables, anyway, I can't finish it, pickle it and keep it for spring to eat, and now I am full of troubled times, wasting food, which is a matter of common anger of people and gods.
"Auntie, I'll cook today, you rest." After returning home, Huang Yiyun put his things in the kitchen and said to Huang Jiang.
"Okay, my aunt will rest today."
"Today, I will steam an eggplant, fry a bean, celery and spinach, and steam some Poria cocos, the second sister, the third sister, the two of you go to break two river mussels, and then wash the beans, cucumbers and eggplant, and after drying, we will use them to pickle.
Fourth brother and fifth sister, you two wash spinach and celery, and you and seventh brother boil water for sixth sister. Huang Yiyun ordered them one by one.
There are two stoves in the backyard kitchen, Huang Yiyun first boiled water on one stove, put a steaming rack into the water, and then put three eggplants and dozens of small Poria cocos on it to steam.
The second sister and the third sister have already peeled off the two river mussels and washed them.
Huang Yiyun put the river mussel into the water and cut it into thin strips.
The celery is cut into sections, the spinach has been washed, and the beans have been cut into sections.
It's just that after Huang Yiyun saw that the fourth brother and the fifth sister had washed spinach, there were some withered yellow leaves, and Huang Yiyun directly picked them out.
"Eldest sister, this leaf can also be eaten." After the fifth brother saw his eldest sister pick out the yellow leaves of the spinach, the fifth brother hurriedly said.
"Withered yellow, can't be eaten, now it's almost that bite to eat, forget about this withered yellow leaf, if you don't waste it, throw it into the chicken coop next to it, and give it to the chickens to eat." The chickens eat dry grass every day and don't grow big, this is good, kill two birds with one stone, we don't waste it. ”
"It's ....., it's okay!" After hearing his eldest sister's words, the fifth brother also felt reasonable, and picked out the yellow leaves of his eldest sister and threw them directly into the chicken coop.
Eggplant and potatoes are steamed first.
After the eggplant is steamed, it is torn into strips, Huang Yiyun directly puts a little salt in a bowl, and puts the steamed eggplant directly in a bowl with salt and stirs it evenly.
Of course, it is even better to sauté garlic and chili peppers in oil, season with soy sauce and steamed fish oil, and pour them over the eggplant.
"Seventh brother, try the taste, is it delicious?" Huang Yiyun grabbed an eggplant with chopsticks and asked in the mouth of the seventh brother.
"It's delicious, big sister, how delicious is this?" The seventh brother's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
"Fifth sister, you bring it to the kang room, don't get cold later, it won't taste good."
"Okay, big sister." The fifth sister of the foodie stared at the bowl of cold eggplant and was reluctant to leave her eyes, and kept swallowing saliva in her mouth, as if she hadn't eaten for several days.
"Fifth sister, your saliva has fallen into the eggplant." The sixth sister said suddenly.
"Where, you dare to tease the sixth sister, you can't find a fight." As soon as the fifth sister touched the corner of her mouth, there was no saliva at all, and after knowing that the sixth sister was playing with her, she seemed to be beating the sixth sister.
"Eldest sister, you see the fifth sister bullying me." When the sixth sister saw this, she hurriedly hid behind Huang Yiyun, stretched out her head and came out.
"Okay, the fifth sister quickly bring the food in, don't make trouble." Huang Yiyun smiled and watched their sisters play and play.
When Huang Yiyun just crossed over to the Huang family, the family was big and small, without the slightest anger, full of bitterness, vicissitudes, numbness, forced by life, hungry, frightened, living in order to find food to live, the original body is to die for food.
After now, I see that adults have smiles on their faces, and they don't have to worry about the hungry stomach that they haven't eaten from time to time, and they worry that a few small ones at home can't get through, and there is a hint of ruddy on a few small faces, and they have the innocence, liveliness and activity that children should have.
Huang Yiyun's heart swelled with a warm current, filling her chest warm, this feeling, Huang Yiyun can't express in words, maybe this is the relatives connected by blood, maybe this is the concern and life.
After that, the pot burned red, there was no oil, and it couldn't be fried, Huang Yiyun put some water in the pot, and then put the mussel meat cut into thin strips into the pot and stir-fried a few times, after stir-frying the sweet taste of the mussel, then put the beans down, stir-fry quickly, until it is cooked, put some salt and you can get out of the pot.
Celery is also fried like this with beans.
As for the spinach, Huang Yiyun first cut the spinach into sections, cooked them in boiling water and removed the water.
After that, boil some water in the pot, stir-fry the mussel meat, after the water is boiled, put some salt, boil again, pour it on top of the spinach with good water control, stir a few times, and the entrance is ready.
"That's it, let's go eat in the kang room."
