039 Steamed rice with pork ribs
In the early morning, a thin mist shrouds the Baishui River, and the green willows are shaded by the birds.
Farmers who had risen early were already working in the fields, and the smoke from the houses had met with the mist and disappeared in one place. Lily cooks a pot of millet porridge, eats half of it herself, saves a meal for noon, and goes to feed the sunspots.
She had to sell raspberries at the intersection at noon, when the sun was at its highest, and the population was dry, not to mention the delicate people who rode in horse-drawn carriages, even the townspeople passed by, and wanted to eat a bowl of cold, sweet and sour raspberries.
As soon as she missed this time, business was not so good, and if she didn't sell it until the afternoon, she had to let Xing'er share it with the children who played with her.
Therefore, every noon, Lily tries to compress the meal time, and when she goes home to pick up the raspberries in the well, she heats a bowl of porridge and drinks it, and does not eat anything else.
But she took the meal more seriously at night, and often made something delicious to treat herself. Not only did she grow some flesh herself, she was no longer so scarily thin, but even Kuroko's fur became more and more oily and slippery, and Xing'er saw Kuroko back and pointed at it and shouted: "Mother, Kuroko has become black and fat!"
Li Caifeng knew that Lily borrowed the sunspot for self-defense, and when she saw that her dog was eating well with her, she was also happy in her heart, because she talked about the origin of the dog: "Our uncle is in Taiping County, and the neighbor has a good dog, and the sunspot was specially picked out by my uncle to give us." ”
Lily's heart moved: "Sister Caifeng, can you help me bring a puppy?" Kuroko is good, I like it when I look at it, in the end you have raised it so big, I always borrow it, you and Xing'er are not at ease at home, if you have something to go out, you have to take care of the house, right?"
There are a lot of cases of abduction and trafficking of children since Huazi, not to mention, Lily herself reads Dream of Red Mansions, and Xiangling in it is a young lady from a squire's family, who is abducted as a slave and a maid, and suffers at will, how miserable.
The sunspot turned out to be an apricot when she was one or two years old, and Liu Yi specifically begged his uncle to pick a dog to watch the home care home, and with it, even if Li Caifeng had something to do for a while, it would be okay to leave Apricot at home alone.
Li Caifeng nodded and said: "You are the one who has vision and can see far, don't worry, I will bring a message to my uncle when I go back, and let him pick the best one, and make sure that it is not worse than the sunspot!"
When Heizi heard its name mentioned, he ran over and rubbed his head on Li Caifeng's leg, and Xing'er pounced on it with a smile, playing with one person and one dog.
Xing'er was still able to sit on the back of the sunspot and be carried around by it when she was a child, but now that she has grown up, Li Caifeng won't let her ride the dog anymore, so as not to crush the back of the sunspot, but the sunspot and the little master are still very affectionate.
Lily came to invite Li Caifeng today to cook a good meal for herself: "I bought some cheap ribs yesterday, and I made steamed rice with pork ribs." ”
Li Caifeng smiled and excused herself: "How can you eat you twice in three days? How much money do you have? Don't waste things like this!"
Lily also smiled: "If you don't go, I'll take Xing'er away, our mother and son will eat well, you can eat whatever you like!"
Li Caifeng was helpless, so she had to beckon and take Xing'er with her. But she refused to eat the lily in vain, and she would bring some bacon and sausage as a gift in return.
It's not the first time Lily has used ribs to cook, the last time she bought ribs that no one wanted to buy, she tried a few simple dishes by herself, and finally found that steamed ribs were the best.
The pork ribs rice is also easy to make, and after Lily had a little money to spare, she bought some rice at the market. Taiping County is located in the south of Zhili, rich in products, both millet, yellow rice, sorghum in the north, as well as rice and glutinous rice in the south.
Rice is divided into two types: japonica rice and indica rice, indica rice has a rough taste and a large yield, and japonica rice is more delicate. The indica rice that Lily bought on the set has greatly improved her diet, adding a handful of rice to the millet and yellow rice, and the porridge and rice cooked are exceptionally delicious, much smoother than before.
The pork ribs have been chopped in advance and marinated in autumn oil, salt, rice wine and shredded green onion and ginger. The rice was washed and soaked for two hours, and it was all full of water, and it was full of water, and it was full and translucent.
The pork ribs are first put into a steamer with two layers of cabbage leaves, poured with seasoning sauce, and then evenly spread the soaked rice on top, spread another layer of cabbage sum on top, and boil and steam on high heat.
The first time the rice water is poured out, the second time the rice water is left and poured into a pottery urn, slightly fermented for a day or two, and used to wash the face and hair when it is slightly sour, which can make the skin smooth, the hair is tough, dark and shiny, this is the method of paying attention to people in the countryside.
In addition to steamed rice with pork ribs, there are also cold wild vegetables, egg drop soup, and a bowl of raspberries in the well, which will be used to sweeten the mouth after eating.
Apricot is accustomed to Aunt Lily's delicious food here from time to time, in fact, it is all ordinary meals, but Aunt Lily can always smile and come up with new tricks, which makes her feel happy when she sees it.
The top layer of white rice is soft and glutinous in the mouth, and after a few bites, it has the unique sweetness of new rice. If you look down with your chopsticks, you can find the pork ribs hidden in the rice grains, the meat is salty, fresh and tender, and the surrounding rice grains absorb the sauce and oil, making them plump and delicious.
The cabbage at the bottom has another kind of sweetness, and at the end of eating, the rice is stirred well with chopsticks, and the seasoning sauce and rice are well mixed, and the soft cabbage is deliciously and nutritious.
After eating, Li Caifeng took Xing'er home, and said goodbye, and let Lily go to her house for dinner in two days. The two families have contacts and have a close relationship, and Lily and Li Caifeng are like sisters.
Lily sent Li Caifeng out, and before she could take a few steps, Li Caifeng suddenly stopped, and Xing'er also shouted: "Mother, there are bad people!"
The two adults were shocked, and Li Caifeng shouted: "Heizi!"
Kuroko looked around vigilantly, sprang out like an arrow, and soon dragged a man out from behind the tree. The man was dragged by a big dog like Kuroko, and shouted in fright: "Let go! Ouch, you dead dog, let go of me!"
Heizi shook his head and dragged the person directly to the ground, and wanted to drag him over with the corner of his clothes, Li Caifeng hurriedly shouted: "Heizi, come back!"
Kuroko then waged his tail back to his master, and bared his teeth at the man.
The man fell to the ground and kept crying out in pain, but Li Caifeng and Lily knew that Kuroko was well-trained and would never bite people easily, so he must have just bitten his clothes, and more than half of the man's pain was scared.
Li Caifeng had already seen the person's appearance clearly, and strode over and asked, "Liu Rulong, what do you want to do sneaky?"
It turned out to be a little showman Liu Rulong.
Liu Rulong was called to break his identity, he stiffened at first, but quickly regained his self-esteem, stopped crying out for pain, stood up with trembling legs, straightened his shirt, and said arrogantly to Li Caifeng: "I'll go out for a walk." Your dog is so fierce, he will bite people when he sees them, and he should be killed!"
When Kuroko heard this, he immediately let out a threatening roar in his throat, and Xiao Xiucai was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and he didn't dare to mention the words of beating the dog to take revenge.
Li Caifeng sneered: "Liu Rulong, there are no famous mountains and no famous flowers in this place, what do you go out to see? You walk well, which one will treat you as a bad person? Isn't it because you are sneaky, and the ignorant little girl looks at you as a good person, and blames my dog for biting you?"
Liu Rulong disdained to talk to women, felt that they were unreasonable, and always wanted to take advantage of him. Li Caifeng is spicy, and her reputation in the town is not the best, so Liu Rulong is a little afraid of her and doesn't dare to entangle more.
He stumbled a few times: "This, this is not your family's territory, where do I like to go, can you control it? A woman's family, it is not good to be born at home with a husband and children, and it is really unseemly to connive at vicious dogs to hurt people." He emphasized again, "It's not a proper system!" If you are frightened by his few words, Li Caifeng is not Li Caifeng, and she should be renamed Li Daniu. She saw the opportunity quickly, and quickly showed an affectionate smile, "Brother Rulong, what are you talking about? Sister-in-law, it's not too late to see the day, I'm afraid that you will walk on the road alone, and you will be in a ditch and a ditch."
Not so good. You are the one who will take the top exam in the future, how can you suffer this grievance?"
In Qingliu Town, anyone surnamed Liu can always turn around and climb up to relatives, Liu Rulong and Liu Yi are of the same generation, although the relationship is far away, but Li Caifeng's self-proclaimed sister-in-law is not too much.
After a few words of flattery by Li Caifeng, Liu Rulong felt a little more comfortable, and said proudly: "You still have some knowledge, even so, I won't care about you in general, you can go." ”
Li Caifeng looked at Lily, and saw that Lily's expression was ugly, and she looked like she was about to let a dog bite someone, so she hurriedly grabbed Lily, "Sister, you go back first, I don't need you to send it." ”
He said to Liu Rulong again: "Brother Rulong, sister-in-law wants to trouble you with something." I don't know the depths of my family, but the man in the family is not at home, and there is no one in charge, so I have to ask you for help. ”
Liu Rulong's mood became more and more cheerful, and he nodded: "Sister-in-law, please speak, but if there is a please, I have nothing to do." His words were so plain that Li Caifeng was uncomfortable to hear them, but he finally understood that he promised to help. "Xing'er and I are going home, it's getting dark this day, I'm afraid that something will happen on the road, and I'll trouble you to send us home. Li Caifeng didn't give Li Rulong a chance to refuse, and directly stuffed Xing'er's little hand into Liu Rulong's hand, "Brother Rulong, you are worthy of being the champion, so enthusiastic."
intestines, in the future, he will definitely be a good official like Bao Qingtian!"
Liu Rulong was stunned at first, and when he was about to refuse, good words came like no money, he secretly scolded this woman in his heart for being rude, but he listened to good words comfortably, so he had to put down his thoughts first and send Li Caifeng and Xing'er home.
When he appeared here at this time, he naturally wanted to hook up with Lily, but he didn't want Lily to invite someone to eat with him first, and he had a vicious dog by his side, and he wanted to get started, but he was afraid that it would be more difficult than expected.
However, he heard that Li Daniu was sold to Song Haonian, compared with such a farmer and rough man, it is naturally his own champion who is suave and promising, and as long as the women are not blind, they know which one is better.
Li Daniu must be unwilling to marry Song Haonian, she has her own in her heart, otherwise why would the Liu Yi family strictly guard herself, for fear that she would say a word to Li Daniu?
Liu Yi and Song Haonian are sworn brothers, and his daughter-in-law naturally helps Song Haonian. But in this town, everyone is afraid of Liu Yi, but he is not afraid of Liu Rulong. Let's let go of Li Daniu for the time being, and after two days, he has to get her!
