Chapter 3 Eggs and fried leeks
Tang Shui'er lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and when she came to the kitchen according to her memory, she saw Da Zhuang squatting and decocting medicine, and his thick back was full of a simple smell.
She called softly, "Da Zhuang." ”
Da Zhuang turned his head instantly when he heard this, and suddenly became anxious: "Why are you here?" It's not good to be able to do it if you don't lie down, I'll help you go back. ”
"I've been lying down for two days, and if I lie down again, it's useless."
Tang Shui'er couldn't cry or laugh a little, hooked the small bench next to him with her feet, sat down, reached out and picked up the pu weaving fan that Da Zhuang had dropped, and fried the medicine herself.
Da Zhuang stood aside like a child who had made a mistake, with a worried face and a look of wanting to say something.
Tang Shui'er looked at him like this, snickered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and said sincerely: "Da Zhuang, I have worked hard for you in the past two days." ”
Da Zhuang looked at Tang Shui'er's clear eyes, and suddenly became a little at a loss, and shook his head again and again to deny: "No hard work, no hard work!" ”
At this moment, there was a shout from outside the courtyard: "Da Zhuang! Big Strong! Can't get off the field today? ”
It's Li San next door.
Da Zhuang came back to his senses at this time, oh no, he missed the time!
"Brother Li, I'll go!" Da Zhuang put on a hat, picked up the hoe and wanted to run out, but suddenly paused, turned around and did not forget to tell Tang Shui'er, "You, don't tire yourself, remember to rest after drinking the medicine, I will come back before the sun sets." ”
It's probably the first time I've talked about this, and Da Zhuang said it bummerged.
Outside, Li San was urging again, and Da Zhuang left.
Tang Shui'er looked at Da Zhuang's distant back, and there was a burst of warmth in his heart, and it felt good to be cared for.
After drinking the medicine, Tang Shui'er pulled down the heavy bangs, feeling very uncomfortable to see, so he found a pair of scissors and cut them out according to the copper mirror.
revealed a pair of flexible and vivid eyes, and the temperament of the whole person has improved a lot, and there is no previous gloom.
Tang Shui'er nodded with satisfaction, the original owner's appearance was not ugly, but he had been starving and freezing at the uncle's house for a long time, and the aunt often beat and scolded, no matter how good the little girl was, she would inevitably have low self-esteem in her heart and couldn't afford to resist at all.
Touching the empty stomach, it was time for lunch in the blink of an eye, Tang Shui'er thought that Da Zhuang was still in the field, and he didn't bring anything full when he went out, so it was better to make a meal and send it over.
Tang Shui'er searched the kitchen, except for the rice and a small bag of cornmeal left over from last winter, there were only five eggs left.
The eggs were still given by Sister-in-law Li next door, and the original owner and Da Zhuang were not willing to eat them, so they saved five of them, and in this poor village, eggs have become a rare and valuable food.
Da Zhuang's home is backed by the foot of the green hills, with earthen walls and thatched houses, but the land is large, and it can build three rooms.
Da Zhuang and Tang Shui'er each live in one room, and the other is the kitchen, and outside the house is a large open space used to dry corn on the cob.
A plot of land outside the kitchen was planted with small vegetables, and the small green vegetables were growing beautifully and were almost ready to be harvested, and there was also a field of white radishes and leeks.
Tang Shui'er turned out a sickle and squatted in the ground, holding the leeks in his left hand to expose the roots, holding the sickle in his right hand and slashing neatly, the roots were neat, and a handful of tender leeks was in his hand.
Put the leeks into the basket, Tang Shui'er plucked a few more radishes, and prepared to cook the radish cakes for a while.
Drawing half a bucket of water from the well, Tang Shui'er washed the vegetables in the basket one by one, shook off the water and put it in the basket and took it back to the kitchen.
Then take out a sea bowl, hold the egg in one hand and gently knock on the edge of the bowl, the fingers are slightly forced, the eggshell is divided into two halves, the clear and smooth egg white is wrapped in the yellow and clear egg yolk, and slides along the bowl wall into the bottom of the bowl.
After beating two eggs in a row, Tang Shui'er didn't feel distressed, she thought that she could buy it again after the eggs were gone, but she couldn't wronged herself and Da Zhuang, and people who didn't have nutritious iron couldn't stand it.
Pinch a pinch of salt and sprinkle it on the egg, the wrist shook slightly, the chopsticks flipped and stirred in the bowl, the egg yolk mixed with the egg white, and soon stirred together.
Then she put down the bowl, grabbed the dried leeks and stacked them on the cutting board, the knife was attached to the root, and immediately it was flat, and her wrist shook up and down, and she heard the rhythmic tuk tuk sound of the kitchen knife falling on the cutting board.
Put away the knife, hold the cut leeks in one hand, and then the knife along the cutting board surface, stacked on the plate as it is, if you look carefully, you will find that each cut leek, the length is exactly the same.
Lighting a fire, not used to the stove, so Tang Shuier spent a lot of time, fortunately, when she was learning cooking, the master took her to live in the deep mountains and old forests for a period of time, and it was not particularly difficult to make a fire, but it was not easy.
The golden vegetable oil poured down from the mouth of the oil pot and fell on the bottom layer of the pot, Tang Shui'er stirred it with a spatula, and the oil evenly covered the surface of the pot.
She pours the beaten egg mixture into the pan, waits for the egg mixture to slowly form, and then stir-fry it slightly with a spatula, and then puts it on a plate.
Then, pouring in the leeks, the sound of Zrazla oil bursting came out of the pot, mixed with the fragrance of leeks into the nose, Tang Shui'er quickly stir-fried, and when it was almost time to pour the eggs back into the pot.
The egg is mixed with the taste of leeks, which is called a fragrant!
No, sister-in-law Li smelled it across the yard, and as soon as Tang Shui'er picked up the scrambled eggs with leeks, she heard Sister-in-law Li's knock on the door.
