Chapter 200: Crucian carp tofu soup
Shen Zhuzi and Shi only know how to boil water and wash vegetables, as for the work of cooking rice and stir-frying, Xiao Wan still has to come, if it is usually when Shen Shuisheng's family does not come back, she doesn't have to bother much, just make a few cakes and cook some porridge.
But Wan Shi came in and said that she would cook a pot of white rice, and without feeling distressed at all, he grabbed a hen that was still laying eggs from the chicken pen and threw it to Shen Zhuzi, and asked him to slaughter it for Shen Laibao to make soup to drink.
Xiao Wanshi couldn't do it, so she had to do it, but unfortunately her cooking skills were not good, and the cooked rice was raw.
For the sake of convenience, she threw all the uneaten wild vegetables into the pot, and stewed the leaves with the pot of chicken soup that looked yellow and clear, and even the folded ear root with cold salad was too salty to eat, not to mention that it looked very bad, and it looked like she had no appetite at all.
Everyone was hungry after waiting for dinner all night, but they couldn't stop eating the dishes on this table, and they couldn't do anything to waste food.
Shen Laosan's appetite has long been raised by the Wang family, and when he saw the food on the table, although there were meat dishes, he still couldn't move the chopsticks, and Shen Laibao and Shen Lotus were even more so, and the last family could only grab the hen that was not fat and eat it, and finally there was a skeleton left.
And Shen Zhuzi and Shishi, who were sitting on the table, could only smell the smell of chicken, and even the old man Shen and Wan Shi only ate chicken heads and chicken feet.
Xiao Wanshi was washing the pot in the kitchen, and when she came out, she even threw the skeleton of the chicken to the pig to gnaw, she regretted it in her heart, and secretly scolded herself for being stupid, she should have eaten it in the kitchen if she knew it.
Seeing Xiao Wan's sit down, Wang's didn't think about letting her go, she remembered that she had just been tortured by Xiao Wan's and didn't work, "Second sister-in-law, you have worked hard." ”
Xiao Wan sat down, and when he heard this, he felt like he was hallucinating, and he looked up at Wang Shi in a daze, looking at her inexplicably.
Wang pulled his lips, "Second sister-in-law, I know you have complaints in your heart, but you can't waste food like this, look at the rice you cooked, it is raw." There is also this vegetable soup, all stewed, and even the vegetable leaves can't be scooped up, and there is so much salt in this folded ear root, to say that the current salt is not cheap. ”
Wan's hadn't eaten much of Xiao Wan's cooking, and he knew how to complain at first, but he didn't think that this was Xiao Wan's intention, but when Wang's provoked him like this, Wan's was furious, "Second family, did you do it on purpose?" ”
Xiao Wan was dumbfounded, "Mother, I didn't." ”
Wan Shi snorted coldly, "You still say no, what kind of dishes can you eat on this table?" Let you do some work, are you still wronged? The old Shen family doesn't raise waste that can't work, and you two sons want to help you with dinner on the hour, your sister-in-law has been doing it alone for more than ten years, what did she say? Why is your heart so black? ”
Wan has long forgotten that Xiao Wan is his favorite daughter-in-law, after all, Wang only gave her clothes yesterday, and Xiao Wan has not behaved well recently, and he is not obedient today.
Shen Zhuzi raised his head, "Milk, my mother doesn't know how to cook." ”
Old man Shen saw that his eldest grandson was helping his mother speak, thinking that his second daughter-in-law had indeed not cooked much in the past ten years, so he also opened his mouth to play a round.
Xiao Wanshi finished eating while crying, and had to wash the dishes, while Shen Cuini sat on the side, didn't say a word, and even felt that the food she made was unpalatable, so she pulled a few mouthfuls of rice and entered the house, not to mention helping, she was already good before she fell into the well.
And early this morning, the Shen family got up and found that there was no breakfast, so Wan went to look for Xiao Wan, who knew that Xiao Wan's people were not at home, Shen Zhuzi and Shi The two brothers went out to look for it, only to learn from the people in the village that their mother walked in the direction of Wanjia Village before dawn.
In the end, Shen Zhuzi and Shi steamed sweet potatoes and cooked gruel to deal with it, such a breakfast made Wang so angry, he didn't expect to come here to eat sweet potatoes and gruel, she was hungry, and her two daughters and Xianggong were also hungry, so they had to go home.
But Shen Shuisheng was still worried about peach gum, so he naturally persuaded her to stay a few more days, for the sake of peach gum, Wang could only nod reluctantly.
Shen Shuang didn't know that because their family was not at home, the Shen family almost fell out.
When the group arrived home, the family didn't know if they heard the movement or deliberately pretended not to hear it, and no one came out to see what was going on anyway.
Shen Shuang didn't bother to think about this, after sending away the little hunter, Shen Musheng was going to return the ox cart to the village chief, Shen Shuang hurriedly brought the meat and fresh fish he bought back and put one in a small basket for her father to give to the village chief's family as a thank you gift.
Shen Shuang bought a lot of fish and meat today and came back to her mother to replenish her body, planning to open a small stove for her mother, as for the rest of the family, she can't care so much.
Shen Shuang walked to the door with a vegetable basket and sickle, and told Xiaoshan, who was accompanying his mother, "Xiaoshan, you and Baibai are here to accompany your mother, I'll go to the vegetable garden to have a look, pick some fresh vegetables and come back to cook lunch for you." ”
"Okay, sister."
Xiaoshan is still very slow and difficult to speak, and the words are not clear, but the progress is still quite fast, today she also took his medicine by the way, the doctor said that his condition has been slowly improving, no need for acupuncture, but have to take Chinese medicine, and at the same time to learn to speak more, after all, there is still more practice.
The little wolf cub originally wanted to go out for a walk, but when it heard Shen Shuang's words, it stayed, but it still remembered the big fat hare hidden at home, so it bit Xiaoshan's clothes and wanted to take him to see it.
Yesterday, when Shen Shuang came home, he was in too much hurry, and he didn't have time to take her to see it, and the little wolf cub was a little worried that the little hare was dead, after all, its leg was bitten by it and dragged back.
Xiaoshan was bringing a bowl of water for Xu to drink, and he was bitten on his trouser leg in vain, "Bai ......"
Xiaoshan could only say a white word, but it was going to drag himself all the time, he looked at Xu, and Xu on the kang also saw Baibai's movements, and was also a little curious, after all, she also knew that this little thing had always been spiritual.
"Xiaoshan, maybe I'm taking you to see something in vain, you go and see it, my mother can do it alone."
Bai Bai nodded, then scratched his head and followed Bai Bai to his room, walked to a basket in the corner of the room, and tore off the cloth covering the things in vain, and there was a fat rabbit with red eyes lying in it, obviously a white rabbit, but it was dirty, like a beggar rabbit.
Xiaoshan's eyes widened, wanting to say the word rabbit, but he couldn't hold it back, he hurriedly bent over and picked up the fat rabbit that looked a little weak, looked at Bai Bai on the side, and hurriedly ran to see Xu.
"Mother!"
Xu Shi was so happy when he heard his son call him, who knew that he was struggling to carry a big fat rabbit in his hand, his feet seemed to be injured, and he looked a little weak, "Xiaoshan, where did the little white rabbit come from?" ”
Xiaoshan looked down at Bai Bai who was standing on the ground, Xu Shi thought that they had just gone to the room, and he also understood what his son meant, "Caught it for nothing?" ”
Xiaoshan shook his head and nodded again, indicating that he didn't know either.
Xu Shi saw that the rabbit's foot was injured, and he couldn't run even if he wanted to, and the injury didn't seem to be easy to feed, "You take the basket in the corner and put it in, and wait for your sister to come back and talk to her." ”
Xiaoshan nodded, and then did so.
At the same time, the vegetable garden behind the Shen family's house.
Shen Shuang found that the pepper she planted had actually begun to grow small peppers, and it was a green pepper, there seemed to be two varieties, and the sweet corn was already half a person tall, and the growth was lovely, she expected that there would be sweet corn to eat soon, and the joy in her heart was also added.
As for the onions and tomatoes, they grow a little slowly, and they have to start building a shelf for tomatoes.
As for the grapes and strawberries, they looked half-dead, and she didn't know if it was because the fertility was not enough or the soil here was not suitable for growing these, but she didn't have the heart to take care of them at this time, so she pulled out some lettuce and some beans, and pulled out some weeds, so Shen Shuang went back with a basket full of vegetables, planning to make lunch.
When he got home, he saw a big fat rabbit, Shen Shuang was also very surprised, and then saw the complacent appearance of the little wolf cub, Shen Shuang suddenly felt speechless, such a fat rabbit can also be dragged down the mountain, and I don't know if it has the strength or ability, so I didn't praise it at all.
The little wolf cub whined twice, lying at Shen Shuang's feet and begging for praise, she pretended not to see it, and took a kitchen knife and a cutting board to kill the crucian carp, planning to boil some fish soup for her mother to drink.
Shen Shuang bought an open clay pot that could hold water in the market today, and specially asked the fish seller to add some water to raise the crucian carp to take home, so when he came home from the ox cart for so long, the crucian carp was still alive and fresh, and it looked very fresh.
After killing the crucian carp, make a few marks with a knife, wipe it with salt to evenly absorb the flavor of the whole body, and pour a little soju to marinate, and then slowly prepare tofu, ginger slices, red dates and wolfberries and other ingredients.
Red dates and wolfberries don't seem to be easy to buy in the backing town, this is Jiang Zitong's family, she is very precious this, I heard that this is brought by Hu merchants in the north to sell.
Preparing the ingredients, she burned the hot pot, then washed the crucian carp and put it in the oiled pot and fried until it was golden on both sides, and then added ginger and shallots to stir-fry on the side, added hot water to boil the fish soup, and then turned to low heat and simmered, slowly, the fragrance of the crucian carp slowly came out, even if there was a lid to cover the stew, the fragrance was still fragrant all over the yard.
Seeing that the stew was almost done, Shen Shuang added tofu and seasoning, and when the lid opened, the fragrance drifted even farther away.
In the hall, Wang was sitting in the room, accompanying Shen Shuisheng to read, grinding and writing for him from time to time.
She heard the movement of the courtyard outside and the sound of talking, and naturally knew that the Dafang family had returned, but she didn't want to go out to have a look, seeing that it was noon, and she was hungry after eating sweet potatoes and porridge and bringing her own snacks in the morning, and she happened to smell the fragrance from the kitchen, and even Shen Shuisheng, who had been looking down to read a book and make a mark, raised his head.
"Bao Niang? Did my mother come back and make something delicious? You go get some and come in, I'm hungry. ”
Wang knew that it was not his vulgar mother-in-law Wan who was cooking, but he didn't say anything else, "Xianggong, you can read with peace of mind, I'll go get you some food." ”
