The countryside has a large population, and the iron pot used for cooking at home cannot be too small.

In winter, people usually cook in the hall, and they stuff pine branches into the stove, and the pot will heat up after a while. This can save a lot of firewood, and it can also burn the kang hot, killing two birds with one stone.

Pasting cakes is a technical job, and the first level is to mix noodles.

Cornmeal should be made with warm water, and some old noodles should be put in to ferment. The water can't be too hot and not too cold. If the cornmeal is scalded directly with too hot water, the flour will not rise; If the water is too cold, the cake will become very hard and have no texture. Only the amount of water and the temperature of the water are moderate, and the cake will be golden on both sides, and there is a gaba at the bottom, but it is very soft when you bite into it.

At this time, the cabbage in the cauldron was almost stewed.

Li skillfully grabbed a handful of thin noodles that had been reconciled, poured the noodles twice in his hand, roughly formed a circle, and then took advantage of the heat of the big iron pot to directly stick the cake to the edge of the pot.

The batter is soft, but the shape of the base has been fixed, so the cake is roughly round and still sticks to the edge of the pan.

Li's movements were so fast that he could be called dazzled, and after a while, he pasted the pan all along the side with cakes.

"Put the lid on the pot and simmer over high heat for a while."

"Uh, got it, grandmother." Tian, who was laying his hands on the side, hurriedly responded, closed the lid of the pot, and added a few sticks of firewood to the stove.

While washing his hands, Li said to Du Yuniang: "You didn't like to watch this before, and you disliked the smoke and fire on the stove." ”

Tian turned his back to the grandfather and grandson, and a flash of curiosity flashed on his face.

My sister-in-law used to be a finger that didn't touch the spring water, but recently she helped make dumplings, and she thought she was looking at the paste, and she seemed to have really grown up a few years overnight.

Du Yuniang smiled flatteringly, "I used to be young and ignorant!" Now that I've grown up, I know what to do. People live in this world, it's better to be a little fireworks. As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands, saying, "Grandmother, I'll cut the pickles." ”

Li subconsciously frowned, it was not that she was reluctant to let Du Yuniang work, but that Yuniang had never held a knife since she was a child, so how could she get everything.

Besides, it's going to break five today!

"Forget it, I'll cut it, you beware of cutting your fingers."

Du Yuniang begged with her little face: "Then, grandmother cut it twice first, let me look at it, and then change it for me to cut it after a while, okay?" ”

There are many people in the family, and it is also expensive to eat pickles.

The most common pickles among farmers are turnips, pimple vegetables, and cucumbers.

The Du family opened a wasteland by themselves, planted cabbage and radishes, and kept them for the family to eat. So every autumn, the pickles of the Du family are not worried.

"Medium, you watch." Li washed a few radishes, then cut one of the radishes in half, pressed the flat side of the radish to the cutting board, held it with his left hand, and picked up the vegetable with his back hand to cut it, and cut it with a brush.

Li, who has been cooking all his life, has good knife skills.

In her previous life, Du Yuniang's knife work was also very good.

After she left the He family, it was worse than death, if she hadn't met her benefactor, she was afraid that she wouldn't have waited for the day when the revenge would be avenged, if she hadn't met the master, then she wouldn't have the ability to live with peace of mind, let alone have the opportunity to take revenge......

Du Yuniang thought a little far, and the sound of Li's chopping vegetables successfully pulled her back to reality.

"Grandmother, this radish is going to be cut for you, so let me try it!"

When Li Shi heard this, he stopped, reluctantly put his cut shredded radish into the basin, and then handed the kitchen knife in his hand to Du Yuniang: "You can take it easy!" Beware of cutting to the fingers. ”

Du Yuniang wants to learn to chop vegetables, this is really big news for the Du family.

The whole family gathered around the hall to see if Du Yuniang would cut it.

Liu kicked his man out, "Okay, if you are in front of you, if Yu Niang is nervous and cuts her hand again, hurry up, Ankang, go back to the East House with your father!" ”

The Du family does not have the saying that a gentleman cooks far away, and when the men are idle, they will help their daughter-in-law to light the fire, wash the vegetables, and lay hands, and they will not show any machismo at all.

Du Yuniang took the kitchen knife, and a strange feeling suddenly flashed in her heart. She felt that yesterday, her new life seemed to have been injected into this knife.

"Du Yuniang, you can't do it!" Du Xiaoye came with the intention of watching jokes, if Du Yuniang can cut off her hands, it is best to cut off all her fingers, then she can relieve her hatred.

Du Yuniang held the handle of the knife, pressed half of the radish with her left hand, and cut it with the knife.

Brush brush brush ~

As the half of the radish turned into neat slices of radishes, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Xinneng thought that Du Yuniang, who had never held a kitchen knife, could cut vegetables so well.

There was only the sound of Du Yuniang chopping vegetables in the room, and at this time, the radish slices had turned into shredded radish. Although Du Yuniang's shredded radish is not as thin as Li's, she has grown so big, after all, it is the first time to cut vegetables, and she is really talented to be able to cut it like this.

When Du Yuniang finished cutting all the radishes and put down the knife, Li and Liu's eyes couldn't help but flash a few flashes of surprise.

This kid may be very talented in cooking.

Originally, I was worried that when she got married, she would be disliked by her in-laws. Marrying a daughter-in-law is a big deal, who wouldn't want to marry a capable daughter-in-law?

For example, Tian's. Her family was poor, and when she got married, she didn't even bring a dowry. But why did Liu fall in love with her? It's not because Tian is capable, he will live a careful life, and he is a good hand at managing the family!

When a woman marries, she has to serve her in-laws and her husband, and if she can't even do the most basic housework, she will really be disliked, and the consequences will be serious, and she is afraid that she will divorce her wife.

Now Du Yuniang has shown her talent in cooking, which makes both Liu and Li very happy.

After the New Year, Yu Niang is only thirteen, even if she finds her in-law's family, it will take two or three years! Teach her well, and she will definitely learn anything.

Du Xiaoye stepped forward unconvinced and looked at the shredded radish cut by Du Yuniang.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, the facts were in her eyes.

Du Yuniang just learned to hold a kitchen knife, and she actually cut it better than her. Although it is still not as good as my grandmother, my grandmother has been cooking all her life!

"Alright, alright, the cake should be ready, eat, eat! Set the table. Li greeted him, and everyone was moved by their true feelings.

Du Yuniang peeled a green onion unhurriedly and peeled a few cloves of garlic. Wash the green onion and garlic, chop it and put it in the shredded radish, pour a little soy sauce and a little sesame oil, then mix well and serve it.
