Chapter 25 Making Food

"How about you have dinner at my house this afternoon, and try my handiwork? ”

"Okay, okay, Brother Xiaohu, you can eat at my house, my sister's cooking is delicious. Bin'er also left Huzi to eat at home, and after such a day's work, the two of them established a good friendship.

"Hehe, well, I've long wanted to eat the food made by Sister Xiaoxue. Huzi was very happy when he was invited by Xiaoxue's sister and brother, and hurriedly agreed.

When the three of them returned home together, Zhang Xiaoxue boiled some boiling water first, scalded the toon buds, took out the water, and put it aside for later use. The remaining hot water is ready to be used to pluck the sparrows.

Put the hot water in a basin and take it to the yard. "You two bring the sparrows and put them in this basin and scald them. When the water is not too hot, you will pluck the feathers of the sparrows for me. You have to unplug it. Zhang Xiaoxue felt that it was too much trouble to remove the hair for these sparrows, so she simply handed over this errand to the two little guys to do. She was freeing up her hands to cook the rest of the dishes.

Thinking about the soybean paste that I grinded in the morning, there were a lot of them, and I planned to make small tofu, so I went to the backyard to pick a lot of small cabbage. Pick a good clean, chop it and set it aside for later use.

This time, I made a lot of small tofu, so I was going to use a large pot. The embers that had just been used to boil water under the bottom of the pot were still there, so I quickly lit the fire, added some water, and poured the soybean paste into the pot. Add a little salt, keep stirring during the period, in case the bottom of the pot is pasted, there will be a lot of foam during the cooking process, keep stirring until the foam disappears, put in the previously cut cabbage, continue to stir, you can also add some water during this period, so that the soup will be more after it is done, continue to cook for about 5 minutes after adding the dish, and you can get out of the pot.

The delicious tofu was ready, and Zhang Xiaoxue found a big pot of tofu to hold. In order to make it more delicious, Zhang Xiaoxue is going to add some chopped green onions and chili peppers to the pot with oil when eating it later, so that it will taste more fragrant.

Brush the pot and prepare the fried toon fish to eat. Put the flour in the pot and add some cornmeal. Add salt to taste and stir well. Put two eggs in the flour, add a little water, stir well into a paste, the paste should be thicker, so the water is not too much, similar to the paste of the pancakes, and finally use chopsticks to pick up the toon buds one by one, dip the batter in the paste bowl. After dipping the batter, put it into the hot oil pan one by one and start frying, the fire should be low when frying, Zhang Xiaoxue pulled out some firewood at the bottom of the pot. After the toon fish is fried, increase the heat at the bottom of the pot, increase the oil temperature to 80% hot, and then return the toon fish to the pot and fry it again, so that the fried toon fish will be more crispy and have a better taste.

Remove the toon fish from the pan and drain the oil. Cooled down a little, Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but pick up a fried toon fish and taste it, wow, it's so delicious and fragrant. I can't help but praise my cooking skills.

There are also three eggs, and it seems that it is not enough to scramble toon with them, so forget not to make toon scrambled eggs. Let's wait until the ranch can produce eggs. Zhang Xiaoxue sprinkled the remaining toons with salt, kneaded them layer by layer, and made them into pickled toons, ready to be eaten as small pickles tomorrow morning.

When Zhang Xiaoxue fried toon fish in the kitchen, the fragrance drifted into the yard one by one, and the two little guys certainly had smart noses, and when they smelled this fragrance, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.

"Sister Xiaoxue's craftsmanship really doesn't have to be said, why is this fragrance so tempting. I want to eat it now. While Huzi was busy plucking the sparrows, he didn't forget to look up and say to Bin'er. Seeing that Bin'er's face was covered with sparrow fluff, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, Bin'er, are you going to pretend to be a bird? ”

Bin'er looked like a tiger, "Brother Huzi, you still say that I, you are not the same, look at your face, head and body are full of bird feathers." Hee-hee. ”

"Oh, this little sparrow's fur is too troublesome, so troublesome. Looking at the little sparrow in his hand, Huzi said with a disgusted face.

"yes, I want to have a good meal, it's so troublesome. Bin'er nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiaoxue came to the yard and couldn't help laughing when she saw the images of the two little boys. Even the hair of the two people was covered with sparrow fluff.

"Let me see how many sparrows you have plucked?" Zhang Xiaoxue said with a smile.

"It's almost there, and we're all left with one in our hands. Oh, Sister Xiaoxue, don't you know, this little sparrow is troublesome to pluck its feathers. It's not easy to have a good meal. Huzi replied as he quickened the movement of his hand. It's finally done, and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When the sparrow in Bin'er's hand was also plucked, Zhang Xiaoxue took over and washed the sparrows, and then disemboweled, and took out all the internal organs, leaving only the sparrow meat. As for the sparrow's heart and liver, it was too small, and Zhang Xiaoxue didn't want to throw it in the trash can with the sparrow feathers.

"Sister Xiaoxue, what delicious food do you cook in the kitchen? ”

Zhang Xiaoxue looked like a tiger, and when he looked like he wanted to eat, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's the bundle of toons I brought back in my hand, which was fried by me sticking to the batter, do you want to taste it, I just tasted one, it tastes good, very crispy." ”

"Well, I'll taste it too, hehe. ”

"Sister, I want to taste it too. Bin'er hurriedly said.

"Okay, you can taste it too, come with me to the kitchen, and I'll show it to you." Zhang Xiaoxue beckoned the two to the kitchen.

The fried toon fish was served by Zhang Xiaoxue in a basket containing fruit. There were many people in the family, and a lot of them were fried, and the basket was full of four fruits. I found a bowl with toon fish and let them take it to the yard to eat.

Zhang Xiaoxue, next is going to prepare to make a red stewed sparrow. Cut the cleaned sparrow from the back with a knife, cut off the claws, soak it in boiling water, marinate it in soy sauce for 10 minutes, and go to the farm to take out two carrots and wash them. Cut the carrots into hob cubes. Heat the pot, add vegetable oil, when it is 60% hot, add the sparrows and fry until golden brown, then remove and drain the oil. Leave the bottom oil in the original pot, add green onions, ginger and garlic to stir up the fragrance, add sparrows and carrots and stir-fry, here you should actually add a little sugar. However, Zhang Xiaoxue didn't have white sugar at home, so she thought of replacing it with honey, so she added a little honey. Add salt, add water, cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Then burn the fire to collect the juice, and finally drizzle with oil, haha, and you're done. It smells that this plate of red stewed sparrows is also very fragrant, because there are not many in the first place, so Zhang Xiaoxue is not willing to taste it.
