Chapter 11 Hibiscus egg custard

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Shu Nuan sat on a high stool, cutting shredded potatoes in his hands.

Under her movements, the shredded potatoes of uniform thickness were quickly cut.

She reached out and twisted a shredded potato, looked it up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately, the knife work has not regressed." ”

Although the home-grown potatoes are not very good-looking, they taste good, and she can already smell the fresh smell of potatoes when she shreds them.

In fact, if you really want to describe the smell of potatoes, many people really can't say why.

Wu Huihong was cooking on the fire, and from time to time she cast her gaze.

"Nuan Nuan, don't you really want to help?"

Shu Nuan turned her head and smiled at the old man: "Grandma, did you boil the hot water for me?" ”

"It was already burned, and it was placed on the table in the hall. Are you going to use it now? ”

Wu Huihong said, and was about to get up and come over.

Shu Nuan turned his head to look at the sky outside the house, and shook his head slightly: "Let's put it there first." ”

She didn't plan to eat the basket of eggs sent by the master this afternoon, but she would make a hibiscus egg custard in a while, which melted in the mouth and was very suitable for the elderly and children.

It won't take long to steam the egg custard, and you can wait for the younger brother to come back before making it, and the temperature will be just right.

For her, as long as the preparation is done, there is not much time wasted.

After more than ten minutes, a cry of joy came from outside the courtyard.

"Grandma, big sister, I'm back."

"It's obviously back."

Wu Huihong muttered, got up and walked out of the kitchen.

Shu Nuan reached out and took the crutches placed next to him, and was about to get up and follow out.

But as soon as she stood up, the two people outside had already walked in quickly.

"Big Sister ......"

Shu Zheming trotted over, stretched out his arms and hugged her hard.

Shu Nuan gently stroked the top of his younger brother's hair: "Such a big person, still coquettish." ”

"Hmm......"

Shu Zheming wrinkled his nose and slowly let go of his arm.

"Okay, go and help me light the fire, and I'll make you something to eat in a while."

Shu Nuan patted the other party's shoulder soothingly, and asked with a smile.

After hearing her arrangement, Shu Zheming happily went to light the fire.

By this time, the sky had begun to get darker, but luckily their village was electrified, and even when it was dark, there were lights.

When Shu Nuan was preparing to stir-fry, Shu Zheming lit the fire and set off firewood in one go.

When the fire in the stove slowly ignited, Shu Zheming raised his head and looked at it curiously: "Eldest sister, what are you going to eat tonight?" ”

"Sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and then steamed hibiscus egg custard."

Shu Nuan replied while doing what he was doing.

The hot and sour shredded potatoes can be fried in a few minutes, so she feels like she's going to steam the egg custard.

Take out four eggs from the bamboo basket, beat the eggs into an iron bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt, beat them with chopsticks, and add warm water.

Because she is a cook, the kitchen utensils prepared at home are naturally more complete than others, and after filtering the egg liquid with gauze, you can put it on the steaming room to steam.

Steaming egg custard is very simple, as long as you control the ratio of egg wash to water, you can steam tender steamed eggs.

When Shu Nuan was about to put the bowl on the steaming partition, he suddenly remembered some small shrimp he brought back last time.

"I like to eat ......"

She muttered to herself, and then neatly found the small shrimp and added it to the bowl to steam together.

"Steam for ten minutes, you look at the time."

After Shu Nuan gave a word of advice to Shu Zheming, who was burning the fire, he began to fry shredded potatoes.

On the other side, Wu Huihong was picking up the kimchi made some time ago from her kimchi jar.

The home-made kimchi tastes authentic, sour and crunchy and very appetizing, and every house here has a large jar to make kimchi.

Kimchi is very good whether it is eaten directly and used to cook, and it is also a frequent guest at their dinner table.

Ten minutes later.

The sour, spicy, spicy, appetizing shredded potatoes and fragrant hibiscus egg custard are ready.

The three of them brought dinner to the large square table in the hall and sat down facing each other.

This hall is still a thatched house, the floor is mud, but it is much better than the kitchen, and the walls of the house are painted with anti-corrosion and moisture-proof white lime, which not only looks clean, but also makes the house look much brighter.

In the middle of the hall there are tables and chairs, and in the corners are some other small bits and pieces, not much, but they are neatly organized.

The light bulbs in the room have been used for too long, and the light is inevitably a little dim, but the reflection of the white walls is barely enough.

The three of them sat down one after another, ready to enjoy dinner. However, the other two did not move their chopsticks, but turned their eyes to her in unison.

Shu Nuan noticed the actions of the two, sighed a little helplessly, and took the initiative to help the two people next to him fill two spoonfuls of egg custard.

"I haven't eaten well in the hospital for the past few days, so now I eat more."

Shu Zheming took the bowl with a blank eye, and after taking a big bite with a spoon, he squinted his eyes slightly and sighed: "Hmm, it's delicious." ”

Although there are two egg-laying hens at home, they don't sell them for much money, but with Niu Chunhua, who often comes to fight the autumn breeze, it is indeed not easy to eat an egg.

The house where Shu Nuan lives now is the old house of the year, although it has been renovated later, but it is still an old house. More than 10 years ago, Shu's father and Niu Chunhua moved to live on the outskirts of the village, and since then the family has become two households.

The houses of the two families are not far apart, but they are in a village, and it only takes about five minutes to walk.

But people over there rarely come, and even if they do, it's not a good thing.

After tasting the dishes on the table, Wu Huihong smiled and praised: "Nuan Nuan's craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

Shu Nuan looked at the two relatives with a smile, and also picked up the spoon and tasted the egg custard he made.

The egg custard doesn't smell very fragrant, but when you eat it, it is very fragrant, and the smooth egg custard has a few salty and fragrant shrimp in it, and the silky enjoyment instantly turns into the satisfaction of chewing.

The eggs used to make egg custard today are all native eggs raised by farmers, and they taste very good in themselves, and they are already delicious without much cooking.

After eating the egg custard, the three of them stretched their chopsticks to the large plate of shredded potatoes on the table.

The taste of sour and hot shredded potatoes is very appetizing, because considering the elderly and children at home and their own injuries, Shu Nuan, who has always had a heavy taste and likes spicy, only gives the potato shreds a little spicy, which should have a crispy texture, and try to get closer to the soft and glutinous taste.

The difference between home-cooked food and outdoor restaurants is that home-cooked food changes with the taste of the family, and it is more suitable for one's own taste.

During this meal, the three of them had smiles on their faces, and the haze of the car accident some time ago also disappeared cleanly in the laughter.
