Summer aroma cage
Once upon a time, there was an old man who made a living by weaving baskets, and once a boss ordered a batch of goods from him, the quantity was very large, and the old man knitted every night and night, and one day he was tired and couldn't do it, so he fell asleep.
His son was very distressed when he saw it, so he made it up in his father's image, and made up a lot, and after a while, his father woke up, and saw that the weaving was not up to standard at all, and he could not deliver the goods at all, and wasted a lot of materials in vain.
couldn't help beating his chest and scolding: You are a fool! You don't know how to make it up, what are you making it up?
…………
Ye Qing first put the crayfish into the space, threw a small half into the pond, and used a gold coin to let the processing department of the space store process the crayfish first.
Soon the crayfish that were clean and processed with bacteria and parasites were taken out.
Ye Qing picked up a crayfish and looked at it carefully, and found that the space was really clean.
It's cleaner than she knows it's washed with shrimp powder, but the shrimp powder is poisonous, and the crayfish that have been treated like that naturally can't be eaten.
The head of the crayfish is a dirty place, so in normal times, the head must be removed when eating, but the head is not removed when processed in the space store.
However, as long as it is properly processed and cooked, the crayfish head is actually edible.
Ye Qing thought about it, and didn't pinch off the head of the crayfish again, because the shrimp paste of the crayfish is also very delicious, so you can not eat it, but when you cook the crayfish, it can increase the umami of this dish.
This part of the shrimp line, which is the second viscera after the head, has been removed.
If there is no space store to help with processing, if you usually want to eat crayfish, you must wash them carefully and carefully, and you must brush the crayfish several times with a brush to clean them thoroughly.
Then remove the shrimp's head and chest, shrimp head and shrimp gills, and then remove the shrimp intestines from the tail fan of the shrimp, and if the crayfish is too small, use scissors to remove the hands, feet and pliers.
Ye Qing was busy cleaning up the crayfish in the kitchen, and in the hall of the dealer over there, the old man who had washed his hands also chatted with Qian Junbao.
After knowing that these people came to buy the three-leaf croton tree on their mountain farm, some of them couldn't turn around.
But after hearing his eldest son say that they were willing to spend three hundred taels to buy all the dozens of acres of trees and land, he agreed without much thought.
In fact, when the whole mountain farm was built by their family, it didn't cost three taels of silver, and this mountain farm was built by his grandfather and a few uncles when they opened up the wasteland together!
Later, the uncles moved away from the island, and gave all the mountain fields to Zhuang Laohan's grandfather.
Nowadays, dozens of acres of mountainous land can be sold for 300 taels of silver, not to mention, for every additional acre of that forest, you can add 10 taels of silver, which is really like money falling from the sky.
Because the entire mountain field belonging to the dealer is as much as thousands of acres, and their family can also buy some more mountain land from other people's hands, the mountains on this island are cheap to death.
One or two pieces of silver can buy two acres, because this island is half an hour away from landing, and the island is windy and rocky, and the place where you can really be a mountain field is very scarce, and you can't grow any food.
There are some better places where fruit trees can be grown, but most places can only grow some trees that do not bear fruit, and they are not useful wood, so their family has not bothered to manage the family's mountain farm for so many years.
When the fruit is ripe, he will hire a few helpers to pick it, and then take it to the city to sell, plus the income from fishing is okay, and Zhuang Laohan will be content.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhuang Laohan couldn't hold back a sullen smile while calculating, and Zhuang Youbin's heart was furious with laughter.
"Dad, what are you laughing at?"
Zhuang Laohan couldn't suppress his excitement, and said excitedly: "It's nothing, dad is happy, there are guests, go and carry out the jar of osmanthus brew that we hid in the warehouse, let's have a good drink today!" ”
Zhuang Youbin stood up suddenly.
"Really, you want to take out that jar of wine and drink it!?"
"It's true, it's okay if you're full today, and it's okay if you're drunk!" Old man Zhuang said arrogantly.
"I'll go right away." That jar of wine had been brewed by his mother and father when they got married, and now it has been eighteen years, and he has wanted to drink it for a long time.
But my father refused to do so, because there was too much water underground, and his father deliberately dug a hole in the wall to hide.
……
When Zhuang Hu bought vegetables and returned to the kitchen, he saw Ye Qingzheng sitting at the door, and there was a pot of red things in front of her.
"Girl, what's in the basin?" Why does it look a bit like the duck feeding thing that my Haizi got back?
Zhuang Hushi put down the vegetable basket in his hand and asked in surprise.
Ye Qing got up and said with a smile: "Auntie, this is a crayfish, I have already dealt with it." Lend me a small pot later, and I'm going to cook. ”
"Crayfish, cooking?" Zhuang Hu was stunned, reached out and pinched one from the basin and looked at it, it was indeed her youngest son who would catch it these days and chop it up and feed the ducks.
"Girl, can you eat this thing?" She naturally had no objection to Ye Qing's use of the pot, this was a guest brought back by her son, and he was a rich man at first glance.
If people want to eat something by themselves, she can't stop them, so as not to understand nothing and offend people.
"Yes, it tastes good, it's similar to eating shrimp, and when I'm ready, you can taste it."
"But I only have two pots at home, and I'll use them for a while, so why don't you make them first." When it's done, I'll cook the vegetables again, and it just so happens that I have to wash the vegetables first. ”
"Okay, then you can take me to the stove and help me make the fire first." Ye Qing said.
"Come with me." Zhuang Hu walked in.
Ye Qing picked up the pot of crayfish and followed behind.
When she waited for Zhuang Hu to start the fire, she looked on the stove and found that there was only a jar of lard and half a jar of salt, and there was no other seasoning.
Fortunately, she had already taken out the seasoning packet in the space just now, but the farmer used oil very economically.
Making crayfish requires a lot of oil, so she will have to use the vegetable oil in her own space later.
"Auntie, do you have onions, ginger and garlic at home?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you." Zhuang Hu had just lit a fire and stood up.
"Well, by the way, help me call my maid Dongqu and ask her to come over and light the fire."
"Okay." Someone helped to light the fire, and Zhuang Hu was very happy.
When she went out, Ye Qing took out a can of oil from the space, and after a while, Dongqu came in, holding freshly washed green onions, ginger and garlic in his hand.
Ye Qing first prepared various ingredients for making crayfish, and then cut the garlic, chili, green onion, and ginger.
Wait for the winter koji to burn hot, Ye Qing pour oil into the pot to heat, add potatoes and carrots and fry them over medium heat until they are five ripe, then put the onion to fry, fry until the skin is golden brown and take it out for later use, and then put the crayfish down and fry it for a while, and then take it out immediately when it becomes a roll.
Then leave oil in the pot, add green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers to fry until fragrant, put the crayfish in it and fry it, and then add the spicy spice she has prepared and stir-fry until fragrant.
Then pour half a bowl of hot water into the crayfish, continue to cook on high heat for 10 minutes, then add potatoes and stir-fry well.
In fact, it is okay not to add potatoes, but Ye Qing feels that putting potatoes in crayfish makes the taste of potatoes more delicious than crayfish.
"Wow...... It smells so good! Dongqu, who was burning on the fire, couldn't help but sniff and said.
"It tastes more fragrant, it's not hot for a while, I'll give you one." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"Thank you, miss."
Ye Qing had just made the crayfish, and Zhuang Hu's finished washing the dishes and walked into the kitchen, smelling the smell of fragrant crayfish.
couldn't help but boast: "I didn't expect the food you made to be so fragrant, it must be delicious."
Otherwise, let's cook together, you look at my pot, you take some of the dishes and make them, and I'll make the rest, so that we can eat faster. ”
"Okay." Ye Qing nodded, walked over and took a look at the dishes she had washed, and found that there was actually a bowl of shrimp.
She picked up the bowl of shrimp and asked, "Auntie, do you have tofu at home?" ”
"Yes, if you soak in water, do you want a pound or half a pound?"
"A pound, there are a lot of people today." Ye Qing said.
Ye Qing took the shrimp over, first marinated the shrimp with cooking wine and green onion and ginger juice, and then took a carrot and cut it into thin slices and spread it on a plate.
When the tofu was brought over, she took a look at it and found that it was tender tofu, so she nodded just right.
First, cut the tofu into small cubes, then stack the sliced tofu and shrimp on top of the carrot slices, and then steam them in a pot with cold water.
Then she got some steamed fish soy sauce from the spice she brought, and mixed some soy sauce and sesame oil to make a sauce.
Drizzle evenly over the steamed shrimp tofu and sprinkle with chopped chives.
The tender tofu absorbs the umami of the shrimp, and the carrot shape is not only beautiful, but also delicious.
At this time, Zhuang Hushi came over with a basin again, "Girl, your dish is really beautiful, but did you bring these seasonings?" ”
"Well, I like to cook and have a habit of bringing seasonings with me." Ye Qing said with a smile, this is not a lie, even if she was in her previous life, she also stored all kinds of cooking tools and spices in her portable space.
"It can be seen that the girl's cooking skills are no worse than the chef of the restaurant." Zhuang Hu boasted.
"Auntie, are you in this pot of banana flowers?" Ye Qing asked when she saw the things in the wooden basin in her hand.
Zhuang Hu was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "This is a banana flower, do you call it a banana there?" ”
"Well, sort of. What is this flower lady going to do? ”
"Stir-fry shredded pork." Zhuang Hu said.
"I'll help you."
"No, it's fast. Why don't you go to the hall and rest for a while, and I'll cook a few more dishes." Zhuang Hu waved his hand.
Ye Qing smiled: "It's okay, I'll help you make this dish." You can cook something else, I haven't seen this thing in a long time, I want to try it. ”
"Alright then, here you go." Zhuang Hu smiled helplessly and handed the wooden basin to Ye Qing, and turned around to get the eggs.
Ye Qing peeled off the dark red skin on the outside of the plantain flower, leaving the yellow core, and then picked off the buds inside for later use, and the yellow tender shell core could also be eaten.
Seeing that there were quite a lot of these flowers, Ye Qing decided to make one dish and one soup.
She boiled some water, put salt in the water, scalded the buds and shell cores, squeezed out the water, soaked and cleaned it several times, and tasted it until she could no longer taste the bitterness.
After making it, she asked Zhuang Hu for a piece of lean pork, and cut the pork into shreds and marinated it with potato powder, salt, cooking wine, and egg white.
Then stir-fry the meat in an oil pan until it is eight ripe, then add plantain flowers and an appropriate amount of salt, shredded green onions, and homemade monosodium glutamate powder, and fry it quickly.
Wash the remaining plantain flowers, put them in a clay pot, add an appropriate amount of water, decoction for a moment, add rock sugar to taste, and when it cools, you can replace tea and clear the liver fire.
After doing this, Ye Qing and Dongqu first brought the spicy crayfish, fried shredded pork with banana flowers and banana flower soup to the dining room of the dealer's house.
This dining room is connected to the back door of the kitchen, and the dealer's hall is in front of the dining room, when the dishes are arranged, you can still hear a burst of laughter from the side of the hall from time to time, and the sound should be the dealer's father and son.
After another quarter of an hour, Dongqu brought over two more dishes, braised hairtail and stir-fried clams with ginger and shallots.
These are all small seafood that seaside people can usually eat, although it is cheap but it tastes great.
"Miss, Aunt Zhuang said that you can start the meal, let you eat first, and she will cook two more dishes in the kitchen."
"Oh, then you go and call Uncle Zhuang and Uncle Zhuang." Ye Qing knew that the person who cooked the dishes was always the last to be served, or the one who was not served, so he didn't have to wait for her.
After a while, Zhuang Laohan walked over with Qian Junbao and them, looking at the dishes that had been placed on the table, he was slightly stunned, when did his mother-in-law have such good skills?
What's the red in that big pot in the middle? It's weird and smells good, and it looks like it's good to drink at first glance.
The Zhuang family and Qian Junbao sat down at the table, and Qian Duoduo stood behind Qian Junbao.
Although Zhuang Youhai was only ten years old, he was very sensible and took a white porcelain pot and poured a cup of osmanthus brew for Qian Junbao first, and then poured wine for his father and eldest brother one by one.
Zhuang Laohan raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Qian Junbao: "Mr. Qian, Mrs. Qian, come...... Don't dislike coarse tea and light rice, but this wine is a good wine, you can try it. ”
Qian Junbao saw that everyone's interest was quite high, so he smiled and picked up his wine glass.
"Uncle Zhuang is polite!" After speaking, Qian Junbao took a sip of wine and put down the glass.
"Okay, happy!" Zhuang Laohan applauded, although Qian Junbao didn't dry it out, but he was a scholar, and he brought so much wealth to him, he was already very happy to be able to drink with him, and almost a flower came out of his face.
"Mr. Qian, I also toast you." Zhuang Youbin also smiled.
"My father-in-law is not in good health, so let's drink this wine together." Ye Qing picked up the wine glass in his hand and said suddenly.
Old Man Zhuang was stunned, but he quickly raised his wine glass, "Okay, everyone is free to drink as much as you want today." After drinking this glass of wine, let's eat. ”
Zhuang Youhai didn't know how to drink, but a boy of this age was already a little curious about wine, so he quietly poured himself a small glass, and then squinted his eyes and drank a little.
Soon a surprised expression appeared on his face, how could this wine be sweet?
It's fragrant and sweet, and a little spicy, so it's not hard to drink.
Just as he continued to pour wine again, he was slapped by Zhuang Youbin, "What are you doing with so much wine, give me the wine jug!" ”
"Didn't Dad say you could drink it casually?" He wasn't happy anymore.
"That's for the guests, not you. You can only drink this one today, bring it. ”
Gritting his teeth, Zhuang Youhai reluctantly handed the wine jug to the eldest brother, and then brought the wine glass to his lips.
Cautiously drank it little by little, and smacked the taste, thinking that there were so many in the kitchen, and when he went to fill the meal, he would drink a big bowl of it.
Ye Qing said to Qian Duoduo, who had been standing, "Duoduo, you can also sit down and eat." ”
