Chapter 8: Busy cooking
Luoyue came to the kitchen, where the vegetables and meat that had been bought were placed on the kitchen table, and there was a fresh carp swimming in the basin on one side.
She looked at these dishes, held her cheeks, and thought about what to do, and after thinking for a while, she made up her mind.
Steamed pork, braised carp, sweet and sour lotus root slices, crispy tofu and a cabbage ball soup. Well, four dishes and one soup are just right.
"Perfect" Luoyue was immersed in his own little pride, and couldn't help but snap his fingers.
These dishes look simple, but it is not easy to make them taste good, and it still requires a lot of skill.
Let's just talk about this crispy tofu, oil temperature control is the key, not too cold, not too hot. The paste hanging on the surface of the tofu is even more crucial, it must be starch and egg white, plus a little salt, not too thin, not too thick. Thankfully, her father taught her in modern times, and she did it a few times, and now she is just applying what she has learned.
It seems that the right teacher has been taught since childhood, and it is always good to have one more skill to be around, and it will come in handy at critical moments.
But when she saw the pile of firewood piled up next to the stove, she couldn't help but gasp, she forgot that in ancient times, cooking was to be burned with firewood.
Luoyue rolled up her sleeves, gritted her teeth, and looked at the pile of firewood, looking heroic and righteous.
She squatted on the ground, picked up a handful of firewood in her hand, threw it into the stove, and lit it clumsily for a long time, as if the firewood was against her. Every time, it was light and smoking, but it couldn't catch fire. She coughed and shed tears from the smoke, and it seems that this fire is also a technical job......
When the dumb uncle came back from carrying water, he saw smoke floating out of the kitchen, so he quickly put down the bucket and hurriedly walked in. As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Luoyue kneeling beside the stove, blowing vigorously on the firewood in the stove. While blowing, I was so smoked that I couldn't stop coughing.
He hurriedly walked over, helped Luoyue up, and gestured with his hand at Luoyue, Luoyue understood that Uncle Dumb meant to let her stand aside, and he would get it.
Luoyue retreated to the side and watched, only to see the dumb uncle skillfully blow on the fire fold a few times, and then took a handful of hay and the fire fold together, blowing very skillfully, and in just a moment, the hay was on fire.
Luoyue couldn't help squatting next to the dumb uncle, watching him put the burning hay into the stove, and then taking advantage of the fire, gradually put the larger wood firewood into the stove, while putting the firewood, slowly pushed and pulled up the damper next to it, and soon the fire was built.
The firewood in the stove was burned by the fire crackling, the beating flame emitted an orange-red light, and the setting moon felt the fireworks in the world that the ancients often said.
Luoyue jumped for a while, she jumped up, picked up a pile of vegetables on the kitchen and turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
The dumb uncle hurriedly followed, and when he saw that she had put the vegetables in the wooden basin and was ready to be washed, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, gesturing with his hand, and wanted to come by himself.
Luoyue smiled mischievously at the dumb uncle and said, "I want to surprise my father, I'll cook today's meal."
The dumb uncle was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and waved his hand at Luoyue. Luoyue thought to herself that Uncle Dumb must be afraid that she would ruin his kitchen.
"Oh, dumb uncle, don't worry! I'll let you and Daddy try my hand at it later! Luoyue said with some pride.
She saw that Uncle Dumb still shook her head, then turned around and went into the kitchen to take out the basin containing the fish and handed it to Uncle Dumb, "Or, Uncle Dumb, you will help me kill the fish?" She said with a slight sneer.
The dumb uncle had no choice but to take the basin and look at the falling moon helplessly, and he didn't know what his young lady was thinking......
