Chapter 162: Journey to the Countryside (7)
After such a period of intense labor, finally, the authentic chicken soup from Yunnan was put into a bowl by me and my cousin Xu Yao. It was really a bowl with a whole pot of soup on top of the stove. As far as I know, the bowl is about 70 centimeters in diameter. It's quite old, so it can fit a lot of chicken soup. It is estimated that these chicken soups are enough for this big family to drink.
I, ah, didn't this time, I just reached out the soup spoon and drank it into a mouthful of chicken soup, but waited for the adults to speak. I don't know where my mother went, it's been so long, and she hasn't come back, so she can't be lost! Hey, what kind of mess am I thinking, why is my mom lost? She is a person with such a good sense of direction, no matter how you say it, she won't get lost!
Originally, my mom took me and my cousin and walked here together. This is probably the second time she has come, and my mother said that she had been with my grandmother once when she was a child, and had met my grandmother's sister, who was my cousin's aunt's mother. But at that time, my mother was just a little older! So how do you do it? More than ten years later, can I still remember the path at that time, and then follow that path to find this village where my cousin and aunt lived, and then led by our cousin and aunt, to get here?
Actually, I don't know why I suddenly want to say these things, these are not important, important things, where did my mother go? It's been so long, why haven't you come back! I don't know where she went, but she just didn't come back! After we finished the chicken soup, my cousin didn't let us take the soup spoon and scoop a spoonful of the soup to drink the delicious chicken soup ourselves.
My cousin Xu Yao's cousin and I said to us, "This, don't touch the chicken soup, cover it with a lid and stuff it." Then, we start to boil the rice noodles, boil them in water, remember not to use all the water, but also put a little oil splash, so that the rice noodles can be boiled more fragrant. And remember, at the end of the day, be sure to put something, this thing is very important, and that is sesame oil.
In the boiled rice noodles of Yunnan rice noodles, you must add a few drops of sesame oil that also smells good and tastes delicious after the rice noodles are cooked. Because only if you order sesame oil, will people feel that this bowl of rice noodles, made out of it is very fragrant, it will attract people to eat, anyway, if you order sesame oil, if I smell it, then I will definitely eat it, no matter whether it is delicious or not, I can only say that the taste of sesame oil is really a must in the world. No matter what is unpalatable, after ordering a drop of sesame oil, it will become fragrant, especially delicious Yazi, but if it doesn't taste very delicious, then you can't blame others, after all, that's not something for me to judge. After all, the people who make this dish are also very hard-working, at least, in order to cater to the taste needs of the public, he ordered a few drops of sesame oil to moisten the taste.
That's commendable, that's what I admire. I cared about it, but in the end it didn't happen. So, don't judge a dish casually, because you have no idea how hard the person who made it behind the scenes put in a lot of effort.
My cousin Xu Yao and I, under the division of labor of my cousin and aunt, the two of us began to brush up the big iron pot on the stove. This iron pot is really a bit difficult to brush. How to say it, let's just say this big iron pot, he is very large, so it is difficult for me to brush him quickly by myself, which is from the reason why the iron pot on this stove is relatively large.
Moreover, a more embarrassing problem has arisen, this iron pot, it is not only a big problem, but I can't take it down. It was welded to this magical stove, and I couldn't take it off. So, I'm facing a serious problem now, that is, I can't help but take down the big iron pot on the stove, and then brush it again! Now it's like this, what can I do? There's no way at all, I can't brush this pot!
My cousin Xu Yao is also confused, he is usually such a smart person, but now he will become like this, looking at me with a confused face, it is really not easy! How to say it, the two of us really don't know how to brush such a pot. You said that the tap water faucet can't be stretched to the top of this pot, that is, you can't directly flush it with water. Also, if I scoop the water, how can I throw away the water after brushing it like that?
This is really an irritating big problem, the key is that my cousin Xu Yao and I have been thinking about it for a long time, but we haven't figured out what to do to perfectly brush this big iron pot. Do we have to give up? Then, the price of giving up, is to be criticized for half a day by this cousin aunt of mine again? No, I don't want to, I might as well spend a few more minutes and think about what I can do to make up for it.
So, I remembered my grandmother's cauldron. I remember that she also scooped water into the pot first, and then held a broom-like thing that was specially used to brush the dishes and pots. Then in that pot, stir and stir, and after a while, the water in the pot will become cloudy. Then use a special water scoop to scoop out the dirty water from the pot. After scooping it out, when there was still a little bit of base left, and the water could not be scooped up by the water, it once again carried the water inside to the outside with the help of the legendary broom-like thing. And then all of this is done!
As for me, I told my cousin Xu Yao about this scene that I thought of. Of course, he also remembered. Then the two of us are ready to follow this step and take action. Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end or not, he just does it first. Then, I went to the tap water, took a scoop of water, poured it into the pot, and with a brush for brushing the pot, stirred and stirred there, stirred and stirred.
After stirring, my cousin Xu Yao and I looked at the water in the pot, which became cloudy little by little. After that, there was no aftermath, my cousin and I just scooped out the muddy water from the pot. Looks like it's done!
When I first saw it, it was the height of summer
