Chapter 1807: Another Matter (Second Update)
All kinds of stir-fried meat, marinated meat, bacon and salted meat, mixed with spicy green onions, garlic and moss.
Sun gave birth to a hot pot, and the white radish in the hot pot was grown in his own field, which was fat and crispy.
It goes well with radish beef.
Yang Ruoqing picked up the big chopsticks and picked the chili sauce into the hot pot, stirring, and the radishes and beef in the pot were immediately dyed red with sauce.
In the heat, there is a cheerful sound of cooing, and the heat and fragrance come to the face.
Yang Ruoqing took a piece of beef cut with moderate thickness and looked at it, this beef is really a very high-end ingredient in this era.
The price of one pound of beef is enough to buy more than a dozen pounds of pork.
Just because this is the age of farming, there are no machines, and cattle are the main means of production.
Take Changping Village as an example, there are seventy or eighty households in a village, from the head of the village to the end of the village, and the families who can independently own a cow can be counted with a single slap.
In the past, the old Yang family worked hard to raise a cow, and so many fields were cultivated by that cow.
In other people's homes, it is common for three or four families to partner up to buy a cow.
When the farm is busy, the people are tired, and the cattle are even more tired.
Day and night, they ploughed without a moment's rest.
There are many more families who can't even afford to buy cattle in partnership, so they rely on themselves to plough the fields and pull out the land.
Therefore, in this era, the villagers who kill pigs and chickens during the New Year and the festival are easy to move.
Beef is usually not available in Washi, of course, the families of the powerful and the upper class are another matter.
This will be a mountain village, a countryman, and only speak the words of the countrymen.
The piece of beef that Yang Ruoqing is holding on her chopsticks at the moment is an old cattle shared by several families in the next village years ago, and its aging has accelerated because of overwork.
It could no longer plow the fields, so the families sold the old ox to the butcher for some money for the New Year.
Originally, Yang Ruoqing didn't plan to buy the beef.
Why?
She's shrewd sometimes, but she's also a little dumbfounded sometimes.
I feel sorry for the old scalper, who exhausted the last drop of sweat when he was alive.
If it dies, the meat will have to be sold for money.
This kind of meat is uncomfortable to eat.
The butcher who slaughtered the cow had always wanted to do the business of supplying Tianxianglou, so he sent thirty catties of beef over.
Yang Ruoqing is the owner, Yang Yongjin is the shopkeeper, and the butcher bribed both of them.
Yang Ruoqing is twenty pounds here, and Yang Yongjin is ten pounds there.
Yang Ruoqing didn't want it, but when she saw Xiao An and Xiao Jie's gluttony, she accepted it.
Eating beef in winter is good for your health.
I can only use the spirit of Ah Q to comfort myself, the six animals are eaten by people, and human beings are the top of the food chain, and eating all other inferior creatures is the right to be obtained under the laws of survival in nature.
To use a more superstitious statement, the soul of the old scalper has been registered.
Eating meat, it's nothing, right? Eat, eat, eat, haven't you eaten steak in your previous life, it's not hypocritical!
"Wow, this beef stewed radish is so fragrant!"
Yang Ruolan also came over and took a deep breath of the aroma.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, not to mention this large piece of beef and spicy radish stewed softly, even the thick soup at the bottom of this pot, she can soak two large bowls of rice in her stomach!
Hey, I suddenly felt how pale human beings are in the face of food and instinct.
"Qing'er, didn't you let me keep that swim bladder, it's all here, what do you want this swim wladder to do?"
Sun's voice came, so Yang Ruoqing put down her chopsticks, covered the lid and walked towards Sun's side.
Sun was about to roast the fish, and at her hand, there was a white, long swim bladder.
Yang Ruoqing picked up the swim bladder and looked at it, and nodded again and again: "I'll get it now." ”
"Qing'er, don't you put this fish bladder with this fish and cook it in a pot?" Yang Ruolan looked at Yang Ruoqing holding three eggs in her hands, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "The fish maw used to be burned with the fish, but now let's change the way to eat it." ”
"What do you eat?"
"Hehe, let's not talk about it yet, Lan'er, you can just watch it."
Yang Ruoqing deliberately sold it, and then rinsed the swim bladder with water again.
Gently knock the three eggs on the pot table, and pour the whole egg liquid into the mouth of the swim bladder, and the second and third eggs are concocted in the same way.
Then sprinkle a little salt, a little sugar, a pinch of garlic and ginger foam.
The entrance of the swim bladder is then tied to death with a thin red silk thread prepared in advance.
Shake it in your hand a few times so that the seasoning spreads evenly.
Then she found a bowl, put the bundled and bulging fish maw into the bowl, poured some deodorized rice vinegar on top, brushed it with a layer of soy sauce, and placed it there.
"That's it?" Yang Ruolan asked curiously.
Yang Ruoqing said: "How is it possible, this is still raw, I'll let it taste first, wait for its little friend." ”
"What buddy?"
"Knock knock...... Look here! ”
Yang Ruoqing took out a plate of big red dates from the cupboard of chopsticks.
These big red dates looked like they had been soaked in water, Yang Ruoqing washed her hands and took two toothpicks.
One was kept by himself, and the other was handed to Yang Ruolan: "Sister Lan'er, you have nothing to do with this time, help me remove the jujube core first." ”
"Good drops!" Yang Ruolan took the toothpick, and the two sisters buried their heads together, talking and laughing.
Sun was serving other dishes on the side, and when he saw the two sisters at the small table, his face was full of relief.
Soon, all the jujube cores were removed, and Yang Ruoqing brought a small bowl of glutinous rice, which was also soaked.
"Sister Lan'er, help me pour these glutinous rice into the dates again." She said.
"Okay."
Soon, the ingenious sisters filled each date.
"What's next?" Yang Ruolan asked.
Yang Ruoqing posed the glutinous rice dates in a bowl with chopsticks, and then poured a spoonful of honey water on them.
"Next, let's put them together and steam them together."
Yang Ruoqing took the multi-layer steaming grid for steaming steamed buns at home, put the fish maw and glutinous rice dates into them, put them on the water stove, and let them start their journey......
……
The process of waiting is always beautiful and full of anticipation.
"Mother, when are the fifth aunts coming over for dinner?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly asked Sun.
Bao Suyun does not have a maiden home, and has long regarded Sun's place as her maiden home.
Every year in the first month of the year, I have to come to Yang Huazhong's house to pay New Year's greetings, and this kind of New Year's greeting and the kind of New Year's greeting between brothers are deeper.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Sun thought for a moment and said, "Originally, I planned to come over this afternoon, and I just happened to get together with Mei'er." ”
"On Chinese New Year's Eve, your fifth aunt had a dream about her late mother."
