Chapter 272: Hot Vegetables

"Miss, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, you don't feel tired of eating dumplings every day, eating dumplings every day?" Bi Luo rubbed her hands, looked at Li Jicai, who was standing in the yard cleaning pork, and asked helplessly.

Take pork from the palace, don't worry about not having enough to eat, all kinds of ingredients are available, you can't see it in the market, and you can also have it in the house, and even more, as long as Li Jicai says a word, even if the cook sends someone to send the meal over.

But Li Jicai didn't want to.

At the beginning, Bi Luo thought that Li Jicai disliked the cook's skills, because Bi Luo had eaten the food cooked by Li Jicai, and the taste was not lost to anyone.

But later, she found out that something was wrong, because Li Jicai took them to eat dumplings every day, and the meal was either cabbage and pork, or green vegetables and eggs.

It's okay to eat once in a while, but if you eat like this every meal, then who can bear it?

That's why Bi Luo didn't know much, they were only transferred back for two days to deal with affairs, how could everything be different when they came back?

"What's wrong with the dumplings? Dumplings are to be eaten during the New Year. Oh, I told you if you don't like to eat, you can go back to the palace to eat, or you can go to the restaurant on the street to eat, I'll give you money! Li Jicai was also speechless, how did she know that her two maids were so dead-eyed, and she had clearly told them not to do this.

"Miss...," Bilo stomped her foot, pouting and coquettish.

Li Jicai picked up the pork that had been washed with a straw rope, stood up from the side of the well, and suddenly felt a sore back, numb legs, and squatted for too long, so that when he suddenly stood up, he only felt that his eyes were black, and he almost fainted.

Biyu walked out with a basin of water, saw Li Jicai's crumbling appearance, and scolded Biluo: "Don't go to help Miss Bang yet!" What are you looking for?! Biyu was very annoyed, how could Biluo be so ignorant, they were slaves, how could they watch the young lady do things while she was watching from the side? Because it's not in the palace, it's lazy?!

"It's Miss herself......"Biyu, who was reprimanded for some reason, was a little unconvinced, and it wasn't she who asked Miss to do this, it was Miss herself who took the initiative to ask to wash the pork.

Needless to say, the young lady will peel the cleaned pork, separate it, and then chop it up or something. It's like this every day, and she's used to it.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not in the way, it's just that the legs are numb! Oops, hemp! It's numb! Oh yo yo! Lee's face distorted with the steps she wanted to move.

Jasper was still sulking at Biluo, but when she saw Li Jicai's appearance, she couldn't help but feel funny, because Li Jicai's expression was so cute.

But smiling and smiling, Biyu hurriedly put down the basin in his hand, pulled his legs and ran to Li Jicai's side, and then helped to support him.

Bi Luo smiled embarrassedly, and then walked over.

"You see the weather is pretty good today, the sun is out, and the sun is warm, but now is the time for snow, and it is still cold."

"yes, I didn't feel that cold when it snowed, but it was much colder when it didn't." Jasper accosted.

The three of them just stood quietly in the courtyard and waited, waiting for the numbness on Li Jicai's body to pass.

The ice picks hanging upside down at the eaves gradually showed signs of loosening, and the water that flowed down the ice picks intermittently fell on the snowdrifts under the eaves, chiseling out small holes like honeycombs, which looked very strange.

The snow in the courtyard was not completely shoveled out, leaving only a herringbone pathway, Li Jicai felt that it was not good to sweep the snow out to reveal the blue-black ground, and it was better to have white snow as a backdrop.

And now the weather is so cold, everything can withstand preservation, the pickled salty goods are hung on the wall to dry, and the dumplings she made are also stored on the sieve, and then placed on the thick snow in the yard, frozen hard.

"Otherwise, we'll eat in the courtyard at noon today! It's hard to get the sun, and there is no wind today, it's just right, it's not cold. How about it" Li Jicai suddenly thought of something, and said with some excitement.

"Miss's instructions are that there is no need to consult with the slave maid." Li Jicai's excessive politeness still made Biyu a little scared.

"Uh-huh, so what should we eat? Is it okay to blanch vegetables? Li Jicai suddenly began to miss the hot dishes he had eaten in modern times when he was in school, not to mention how delicious it was.

The hot vegetable seller is an old woman, and every day her son helps to get the stall not far from the school gate, and then waits for the students after school. Tables tend to have only four tables, are often overcrowded, and there are not enough seats to sit and so on.

A pot of unknown soup with a few green onions and garlic floating on it, and the old turmeric cut in half and in large pieces, there was not much oil, and the old woman was reluctant to put much oil.

In the colander there was a pinch of kelp, a pinch of bean sprouts, a handful of 1,000 sheets, and a fist-sized number of vermicelli. Put it in this soup pot and shake it up and down, and it will be cooked, and the vermicelli is soaked in advance, and you can eat it when it is hot.

After the scalding is done, the colander is upside down in the bowl, take a spoon from the small pot next to it to scoop out some red duck blood clots, pour them on the hot vegetables, and then sprinkle a handful of green onions and coriander, and the hot vegetables are ready. Sprinkle with sesame oil and vinegar, add chili sauce by yourself, and it will make people drool when you look at it.

Li Jicai watched it increase in price step by step, and he must have eaten out his feelings, the most simple, and it was also delicious in his memory.

This hot dish is the best to eat in winter, and winter is not only about hot pot, but also about side options. Li Jicai simply told Biyu and Biluo about this hot dish, and explained to them that the method of this hot dish is also very simple, and it can be made at home.

Biluo has long been tired of eating dumplings, so she naturally raised her hands and feet in agreement, Biyu has always been Li Jicai's temperament, and she will do whatever she wants, as long as she does not go against the wishes of her master.

There is no way, when there are still a few days left after this annual leave, Li Jicai is really bored at home.

Especially recently, I am worried that some criminals will break into my home, and then say some terrible strange things, which is simply sick in the brain.

Seeing that noon was coming, Bi Luo was worried that she would eat dumplings again at noon, and after reacting, she hurriedly greeted Li Jicai, she was going back to the palace to pull vegetables, the dishes at home were definitely not enough, listening to what Miss said was so delicious, I couldn't look forward to it.

It's a little difficult for fans to do here, although they have sweet potatoes, but the process is more complicated, and Li Jicai doesn't want to do it a little bit, and wants to find something instead.

But seeing that Biyu and Biluo were looking forward to it, she didn't want to disappoint the two of them, after all, the two of them followed her to take care of her until now.

But the words have already been released. It can only change slightly, and I don't know if there is anything to sell on the market.

"Miss, the inside and outside of the house have been cleaned up, is there anything I need to do?" Biyu stood in the courtyard a little embarrassed, a little confused.

"It's okay, it's okay, then you can go to the kitchen with me to spice up." Making a hot vegetable base soup must be very delicious, so that the vegetables put in it will taste good and will be full of flavor.

"Okay."

Li Jicai took Jasper to the kitchen, and picked out all the vegetables that could be used in the kitchen, and the snowmen were all those with smooth surfaces, no pests and diseases, beautiful vegetables, and moderate size.

The well water is not cold at all, but when the hands enter it, it still feels warm, and the two of them are talking and laughing and washing the dishes.

Biyu was still very surprised that Li Jicai could be so skilled in doing these housework.

She also has more curiosity about Li Jicai's past.

"It's a pity that there are no sweet potato fans." Li Jicai touched a sweet potato and said to her with a sigh.

"What is sweet potato vermicelli? Well, there is no one in the capital, and the slaves and maids have never seen it. ”

"Well, not yet, maybe later?"

Jasper didn't speak, just tilted her head and looked at her intently.

"If there is a sweet potato vermicelli for hot dishes, it is delicious, and the sweet potato vermicelli is made by people, and it is made from this sweet potato.

Of course, I can also tell you that I learned it from my grandmother earlier.

If we want to make sweet potato vermicelli, first of all, we have to choose a particularly good sweet potato, then wash it and cut it into a crushed form, then add water, mash it finely, that is, squeeze its juice, and when the juice is filtered out, then add that powder to stir and stir into a paste, and then make it into that dough, and then make it into a thin vermicelli that is thinner than noodles, and finally dry it. Li Jicai said with a smile while washing vegetables.

"Is this the food from Miss's hometown?" Biyu listened to Li Jicai's description and didn't understand anything, so she could only nod as if she didn't understand.

"Yes, this sweet potato vermicelli has been cooked for a long time, and the taste is very fragrant and delicious, and then look at it is still transparent." Li Jicai said with fantasy, the more he talked, the more he felt that he missed his life in modern times, which was much better than the current one, and he also wanted to practice TV, bus, and school.

"It's amazing, but it seems a bit of a lot of work to hear from Miss."

"It's really a lot of work, so I shouldn't be able to eat it today, if I have the opportunity to make it for you to eat in the future, maybe I can make a windfall after I make it."

Li Jicai felt that if he couldn't survive in the future, with this craft alone, if he could really figure it out, he would still be able to afford a bite of food at that time.

"What Miss said is that from then on, I will wait for Miss to make a windfall, and then take the slave and maid to live a good life together." Seeing Li Jicai's brilliant and happy appearance, Biyu was also very excited in her heart, and couldn't help but respond to her words and continued.

"Hahaha, that's sure, that's definitely no problem, who am I?" Li Jicai was a little embarrassed.
