Chapter 635: The Tip of My Heart Hurts
Because Hua Qinghe said that cherries could be made into candied fruit, the group didn't have the heart to hang out anymore, and immediately returned to Chujiagou.
"Miss, you are back, and the slave will be ready to cook in no time." Qinglian poured hot oil on the boiling fish, and Chu Shi watched from the sidelines.
Fang Lancao is more straightforward, it is not bad to keep his eyes on the pot of boiling fish, I am obedient, how much oil is wasted, this bowl of vegetables can top up to the amount of oil used by his own family for a month, but thinking of the rice noodles, bacon, etc. piled up in the corner of the kitchen, as well as the several silky cotton cloths used to pile up the land in the room, I desperately suppressed the distress that wanted to break out.
Hu Ruixue just glanced at it lightly, no matter how much she churned in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, she only sighed that she was worthy of being the chef in a big family, and she was bold when she used oil.
"Qinghe, I'll cook it after dinner, you see the kitchen is messy." Chu Yanyu put down the cherry basket and pulled Hua Qinghe back to the hall.
"Miss, what are you going to do?" Qinglian came out with a vegetable spoon.
"Make candied cherries." Hua Qinghe said.
"Candied fruit, it needs to be dried in a kiln, it doesn't seem to be available here." Qinglian looked at the kitchen again and confirmed.
"Kiln? There is really a kiln for baking. Chu replied, "There is one in the backyard, but it hasn't been used for a long time, I don't know if I can ...... it."
"Let's take a look." Hua Qinghe and the others followed Chu to the backyard, the backyard was mainly a vegetable field, but there was a small self-made kiln at the root of the wall.
"I'll clean up." Chu Shi and Chu Yanyu wiped it neatly inside and out, and there were not many traces of defeat.
"Then after lunch, it's ready to go." Qinglian is eager to try, she will do candied fruit, but cherries are the first time, but they are all fruits, the method is the same, anyway, when the time comes, the proportion of their own sugar will be modulated to see, roast a few more scoops, and always make the best taste.
"I'll soak it in salt first." Qinglian washed the cherries, removed the stems, put a lot of salt, and pickled them directly.
Chu's heart trembled again, so much smoke, this family has a month's weight.
"Auntie, you have to use a lot of sugar, and you can bring as much as you want." Qinglian smiled and looked up at the Chu clan and said.
Another heavy hammer hit Chu Shi's heart, and he asked weakly, "How much sugar do you want?" ”
"A lot, take it out." Qinglian said truthfully unconsciously, "I have to try the ratio of white sugar, I need a lot." ”
Although Chu was distressed, he still did not refuse, and took out all the sugar he treasured in his own house, which was only about two or three catties, "That's all there is to it at home." ”
"It's barely enough, I'll make less at a time, it should be enough." Qinglian estimated.
"I see that there seems to be a lot of sugar in the things you sent Qinghe, I'll go get it." Chu Yanyu went to the corner of the kitchen with a big grin, found the white sugar wrapped in oil paper, and carried it out with a smile, "This must have four catties, this should be enough." ”
"Well, that's enough, I can make more, but you can all taste it, and you can take it back to taste it." Qinglian smiled and saw her teeth but couldn't see her eyes.
Fang Lancao and Hu Ruixue twitched the corners of their mouths in a rare agreement, and shifted their gaze firmly, they felt that the little maid who was busy in and out of the kitchen just now was a person who laughed and said meat cutting, but it was so cute when she laughed, what seasonings she wanted, what soybean oil she wanted, they would always be satisfied, they were afraid that if they saw too much, the Chu family could not afford it.
After Father Chu came back with his son, grandson, and granddaughter, the Chu family had a meal.
Father Chu heard Chu Yanyu mention the matter of his classmates coming to the house during their time on the mountain, and knew that today's food would definitely be hard, but they didn't expect it to be so hard.
The pot of fish in the middle of the table was red, with a thick layer of oil floating on the surface, did you accidentally knock over the oil jar?
The tofu and fish head soup is stewed fragrantly, the soup is milky and milky, and there are stir-fried rabbit meat, pheasant stewed artichoke pieces, bacon fried beans, cold cucumbers, braised eggplant, stir-fried cabbage, as well as braised pork and a whole roast duck, chubby dumplings and white dry rice are also particularly eye-catching.
Father Chu knows the situation of his own family, there are a few dishes that he can't make at home, and he can't take them out, it seems that they were brought by his classmates, thinking of his daughter-in-law's such an atmospheric meal, it is also polite to think of his classmates.
"Eat, I've had lunch, and I'll take you to cherry picking." Father Chu greeted with a smile.
There are two tables today, in addition to Chu Yanyu, the Chu family has a table, and Hua Qinghe has a table, but Daddy Chu didn't move the chopsticks, and the people at the two tables didn't move.
The food was so good, all the people ate it well, and after the Chu family ate the boiling fish, the spicy, fragrant and tender fish made people feel incredible, it was not that they had never made soup with fish heads, but they never felt that the fish could be so tender.
The stir-fried rabbit meat also tastes different from what is often eaten at home in the past, and it is more than a star and a half.
"Who made today's meal?" Father Chu still couldn't help but ask Chu in a low voice.
"What Qinglian did is the little girl who wore a azure dress." Chu didn't expect that the meals he had cooked for most of his life would not be as good as a little girl, no wonder he would let her come to the kitchen to help.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." The Chu family tasted Qinglian's craftsmanship for the first time, and they were immediately impressed, the Hua Qinghe girl's family had a smaller appetite at the table, and there were some left, and the Chu family's table didn't even have soup, and the bowls of noodles were clean with white rice and wiped off with the sauce.
After lunch, Qinglian, Angelica, Ning Xiang and other waiting maids helped to pick up together, Chu Shi saw it and was distressed, these maids and little girls were dressed better than their best clothes, and they were stained with water, can they not feel distressed.
Hua Rong and other chauffeurs from various provinces, when they went out, they brought dry food, Qinglian gave one of them some braised meat and fish soup before the meal, for Hua Rong, Qinglian took extra care, in the same mansion, Hua Rong ate dry food at noon but Qinglian prepared a large meat bun and green onion cake, which is not comparable to others.
"Third uncle, third aunt, help-"
The family was busy cleaning up, and Hua Qinghe and a few people were also standing in the yard to eat, thinking about going out while the sun was milder, and the atmosphere of talking and laughing in the house was interrupted by a sharp shout.
Listening to the sound is still not far away, but such a heart-rending cry for help makes people spontaneously open the door and rush outside to see what happened.
Father Chu and the Chu family walked the fastest, and the Chu family also rushed out, because they knew that it was Huang Yunduo, the daughter-in-law of Father Chu's nephew Chu Yansheng.
