Chapter 239: Xiangxiang's Lunch
Ye Qing stood for a while and said, "Sister Meizi, I'll have dinner at your house at noon today."
This is a rabbit that I picked up when I went to the mountains in the morning, and I have already packed it, and I will stew the rabbit meat with my third aunt when I turn around. ”
"Okay, I ate rabbit meat at noon, I didn't expect you to be so lucky that you actually picked up a rabbit." Ye Mei praised with a smile.
"You are the only one in the family, what about the third aunt and the third uncle?" Ye Qing asked.
"I went to Tea Seed Mountain, and it was estimated that it would take half an hour to get home. Otherwise, I'll do it with you for lunch, and I'll finish washing my hair. ”
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and drink some water first." Ye Qing nodded.
"Well, I burned mint Houttuynia tea in the morning, on the table." After Ye Mei finished speaking, she completely immersed her hair in the basin and slowly rubbed her hair with her fingers.
Ye Qing drank half a bowl of herbal tea, then looked down in the kitchen and found that there were many fish with three fingers in a large wooden barrel, as well as some loaches.
People here like to eat loaches very much, and think that Xiao Futian eats loaches and ginseng.
Although this thing has high nutritional value and tastes good, Ye Qing doesn't like to eat loaches.
I don't know if I can cook fish at noon.
She wanted to eat hemp fish a little, and there were a lot of seasonings in the space.
Hemp fish seems to be a simple home-cooked dish, but it is a good dish to eat.
Bright red peppers, snow-white fish and a pinch of coriander, the combination of red and green, the simplest but most pleasing to the eye.
Sichuan pepper and chili pepper are baptized by hot oil, giving off a burst of pepper aroma.
Legend has it that the way this fish is eaten originated from the fishermen and boatmen on the Sichuan River, who are the poorest people in Sichuan Prefecture, who have lived on the river for many years, and have no money to buy meat, so they only rely on fish to satisfy their hunger.
At the end of the evening, the oil in the pot is fried, mixed with some bean paste, Sichuan pepper, pickled ginger, pickled sea pepper, and a variety of fresh fish of different varieties and sizes (hodgepodge) are boiled in a pot.
The freshness and tenderness of the fish, the spicy and hot soup, the rough and hearty way of eating, are indeed both chilling and satisfying.
Because people can't tell the variety of fish in the pot when eating, they are collectively called "hemp fish", also known as spicy fish.
It's great to eat in winter, but it's also nice to eat in summer.
You can't eat hot pot, and it's not bad to eat spicy fish. It's spicy and spicy, and it's very comfortable.
Ye Mei washed her hair, walked in with a cloth towel on her head, saw Ye Qing watching fish, and said with a smile: "Do you like to eat fish?"
Then let's make fish at noon, and today my little aunt came to see us, and brought us a basket of taro, as well as dried beans and eggplant, and there are white and bitter gourds at home. ”
"And what about your little aunt?" Ye Qing asked.
"She's gone to town to see my brother-in-law." Ye Mei reached out to untie the cloth towel on her head, raked her hair with her hands, and asked again: "What are you going to cook, I'll help you wash the vegetables and light the fire." ”
"Hmm. Think about it, how many people eat at noon? ”
"Six!" Ye Mei said.
"Okay, then I'll arrange it. As soon as you finished washing your hair, I will kill this fish. Ye Qing smiled, rolled up his sleeves and lifted the bucket containing the fish.
Ye Mei Zhanyan showed a relieved smile, she was still thinking about how not to kill the fish just now.
The sun shone through the trees by the well, and the plums lit a fire in the kitchen, and wisps of white smoke drifted out from the chimney.
Ye Qing sat on a small bench, cleaned up all kinds of small miscellaneous fish, and then washed a few white and green chili peppers and two bitter gourds with green color and thick and juicy flesh.
These days, I eat a lot of cucumbers, eggplants and seasonal vegetables, so it's just right to change the taste.
Eating some bitter gourd on a hot day can reduce fire and moisten the intestines.
When choosing a white callus, be sure to choose one with a white flesh color. When the growing conditions are poor or the harvest is too late, the white flesh will be covered with black spots; In addition, some of the cocoon white "blue" is a manifestation of the aging of the cocoon white.
Stir-fried bacon or fried bacon is one of the favorite dishes of Xiushui Village, and Ye Qing naturally likes it.
Bringing all the washed dishes into the kitchen, Ye Mei was burning the fire, and her firewood stove was very large, with five pots.
Next to the large wok is a pot for boiling water, and behind it is a pot for steaming rice. People here are accustomed to making a day's worth of rice in the morning, which is the kind of rice that is boiled and then steamed in a wooden retort.
With the fragrance of wood, it tastes very fluffy.
However, only a very small number of people eat rice twice a day, and they usually eat more porridge in the morning and evening.
Some families can only eat two meals, but the Ye family has developed the habit of eating three meals, and Ye Wennan's family grows a lot of food, which is enough for their family to eat.
Ye Mei put some water in the big wok, because she was afraid of drying the pot, Ye Qing poured the rabbit meat into the pot, just to use it to scoop up the rabbit meat and pass the water again.
Ye Qing started cooking with his hands and feet quickly, and Ye Mei was looking at Ye Qing while adding firewood to the stove.
This cousin, who is a little younger than herself, has really changed a lot.
In the past, "Ye Leek Bud", in Ye Mei's view, was the kind of lady who was either holding a book or holding an embroidery frame all day long.
And he rarely interacts with her, but he has close contact with several sisters of the eldest uncle's family in the town.
Unexpectedly, after becoming stupid and recovering, Ye Qing became more down-to-earth.
I got close to them, and looking at the way she cooked, she was so good at cooking.
The rabbit meat was stewed in a small pot by Ye Qing, and the aroma of the ingredients also came out, and a unique fragrance of rabbit meat volatilized, and Ye Mei couldn't help but sniff.
When Ye Qing made the "hemp fish", Ye Mei's eyes rolled a little, swallowed her saliva, and almost wanted to stand up and take a piece to taste it first.
It just so happened that at this time, Ye Wennan and they came back together.
As soon as Ye Bin put down the bamboo dustpan, his nose moved, and he shouted, "Wow! It's so fragrant, what is the second sister cooking? With that, he ran into the kitchen.
Ye Wennan and Xiao Liang also looked at each other suspiciously, when did the plums become so fragrant?
There was a hint of the aroma of stewed meat in the air, and it seemed to have a spicy taste, Xiao Liang smiled and said, "I'll go and see it too." ”
Ye Wennan nodded, put down the hoe, and called the eldest son Ye Ming to go to the well to wash his hands.
"Third aunt, you're back! This dish is ready immediately, that is, the rabbit meat needs to be lit on the fire.
I'm all hungry, and I'll be ready for lunch soon. Ye Qing turned his head to look at Xiao Liang who came in and said with a smile.
As for Ye Bin, he didn't even bother to wash his hands, and now he was pinching a spicy fish and eating it happily, and he didn't care about talking at all.
"It's leek sprouts, no wonder the food smells so good today." Xiao Liang said with a smile, glanced at her daughter again, and asked suspiciously, "Where is your little aunt?" Didn't you say come to our house today? ”
