164 Spicy roasted tofu
In the first month of the workshop's operation, Lily had not yet seen the account books and dividends, and first got two good news.
The first one, Li Mingjiang's body is recovering well, although he can't get out of bed now, he can already turn over on his own. Compared with the previous situation of not being able to move, Li Mingjiang was so happy that he couldn't get down the smile on his face every day.
The vines planted by the lily have grown very big, build a shelf, put a rocking chair under the head, Wang Xiaofu carried Li Mingjiang on his back and put it on the rocking chair, and told him to bask in the sun more during the day, so as to promote the growth of bones.
Another piece of news made Lily so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut: Song Haonian is back!
This time, Song Haonian really brought a lot of surprises to Lily, not only the tomato seeds and potatoes that she missed, but he also brought back a bag of things.
Others don't recognize it, but Lily recognizes it at a glance: it looks like a finger, it's red, it smells so spicy that it makes people sneeze, isn't it a chili pepper?
Lily looked forward to these things for several years, and finally got carried away for a while, tiptoed and kissed Song Haonian loudly on the face, and said, "Da Nian, I'm so happy!"
Lamei was used to seeing it for a long time, she covered her eyes and turned her head not to look, and Zhu stood next to her and was dumbfounded: Why don't you know how shameful the girl is!
Zhu is determined to turn back and talk about the eldest daughter, the most important thing in the woman's family is Zhenjing and virtuous lady, although she has never done it in her old man, but the eldest girl will definitely make her son-in-law disgusted like this
If it weren't for the scruples of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Song Haonian couldn't wait to immediately correct the lily on the spot, he had been a vegetarian for several months, and now the fragrant and soft daughter-in-law was in front of him, he wanted to hug her and get close to each other, and then say goodbye.
Lily pushed Song Haonian to talk to Li Mingjiang: "Thanks to Xiaofu for taking care of my father these days, you go to talk to my father, and call Xiaofu to come to dinner next morning, you have to thank him well." ”
Her tone seemed to be Song Haonian's responsibility, because he was not at home, Wang Xiaofu did his filial piety for him, Song Haonian liked her to be so invisible, and said with a smile: "When I come back, I will leave the matter of taking care of my father-in-law to me, and everyone will be easier in the future." ”
Especially his daughter-in-law, these days are obviously more haggard than before he went out, and when he thinks about it, he knows that he is tired of taking care of his father-in-law.
The chili peppers brought back by Song Haonian are the products of fresh chili peppers after drying, which is very complete, and you can tell that it is full of chili seeds when you pinch it.
Lily first used scissors to cut the peppers one by one, and carefully placed the pepper stems and pepper seeds in a bamboo plaque covered with linen, and these pepper seeds could be planted the next year.
After all the peppers are cut, they are left to dry under the sun. Lily take seven or eight chili peppers, put them in a pot to dry, pour two drops of rapeseed oil to avoid burning, and roast until they are simply charred, and take them out to cool.
At this time, the kitchen and yard were already filled with the spicy smell of chili peppers, and the body of the big girl had never smelled this smell, choking and coughing, and tears flowed.
In the yard, Li Mingjiang, Zhu Shi, and Song Haonian were also choking and coughing, Song Haonian took a hand towel to wet it, covered his nose and rushed into the kitchen, seeing Lily's tears and smiling face, he was dumbfounded for a while: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Lily pulled Song Haonian out of the kitchen, took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant!"
Zhu: "Isn't the big girl stupid?"
When the choking smell in the air dissipated, Lily asked Song Haonian to move out of the stone mortar, put the dried chili peppers in and crush them with a pestle, and then carefully scrape them into the bowl.
Song Haonian said: "This thing is called pepper, also called pepper, there are some places in the north that are planted and eaten, I have tasted two bites, it is more fragrant than dogwood and ginger." It's just too spicy, I'm afraid I can't get used to it. ”
Lily said: "Put less flavor, but not afraid of too spicy." ”
She was a little carried away when she saw the chili pepper, forgetting that Li Dayu had never seen this thing, and it was impossible for her to know how to cook and eat it. Fortunately, the family has long been accustomed to her cleverness, and they don't pursue it, Song Haonian, thinking that his daughter-in-law can even read and write, and what else can't do it, so he just looks at her and laughs.
Steamed with rice, Lily cuts a knife of tofu into small pieces of one inch square, and blanches them in the water to break off. Add a spoonful of salt to the water to get rid of the beany smell and prevent the tofu from crumbling.
Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry minced pork. Lily heard from my classmates in my last life, the best thing to eat is minced beef, but this year, the cow has to be used to cultivate the land, and it can't be slaughtered and eaten casually.
In addition, the cattle work hard and have spirituality, even if the old and dead cows, the farmers are reluctant to eat it, but want to bury it well, so it is rare to eat beef in this place of Aoyagi Town, and Lily uses pork instead of beef.
Stir-fry the minced pork, drop two drops of rice wine into it, then add the chili pepper and ginger that have just been beaten, fry it until it is red and fragrant, and add water to it.
After the water is boiled, put in the tofu cubes and simmer slowly, add autumn oil to adjust the color and season, and then use sweet potato powder to hook some owe in to tighten the soup, and sprinkle a handful of green garlic sprouts and pepper powder when out of the pot, and the house is full of spicy aroma.
Lamei snorted and asked, "Sister, what kind of dish is this?"
"Mapo tofu. Lily said casually.
"Which one is Mapo?"
Lily smiled dumbly, and then remembered that there was no "Chen Mapo" who invented mapo tofu in this era, and after thinking about it, he said: "It's called spicy roasted tofu." ”
Lamei nodded and said, "It smells numb and spicy, but I don't know what it's like to eat." ”
Lily shabu-shabu, stir-fry vinegared cabbage, cook a pot of radish and lean meat soup, and work together for a meal.
The dining table is placed in the east chamber, Lily not only played the kang at home, but later went to Daddy Liu to order a small kang table, these days Li Mingjiang eats on the small kang table, which is very convenient.
A few dishes were placed on the kang table, and Li Mingjiang supported a quilt behind him, so that he could eat himself, so he didn't need to be fed by others. No matter how much others feed them, they are not as sweet as their own food.
Spicy roasted tofu is a new dish, several people are very curious, Lily hurriedly said: "This thing is very spicy, I am afraid that my stomach will not be able to stand it if I eat too much on an empty stomach. ”
In later generations, there are still many people who can't eat chili peppers, and they feel sick to their stomachs when they eat them, not to mention that her family has never eaten chili peppers, Li Mingjiang and Zhu are too old to withstand the toss, so they have to be careful.
Pad a small half bowl of rice, everyone invariably stretched their chopsticks to the tofu, others were fine, Li Ming's hands were trembling, and he couldn't clip a piece for half a day, Zhu said: "Look at your useless appearance, I'll clip it for you." ”
Li Mingjiang asked her to say this in front of her son-in-law and Wang Xiaofu, and her face was a little unbearable, and she said lukewarmly: "I'll clip it myself." ”
Fortunately, Lily brought a spoon over in advance, and hurriedly scooped a spoonful of tofu into his bowl with a spoon, and pushed the spoon to Li Mingjiang, "Dad, make this." "The girl is such a clever person and has to use a spoon, Li Mingjiang felt much more comfortable at once, picked up the spoon and scooped the tofu. The rice is as white as snow, and the red tofu falls on top of it, just like the red plums falling on the snow, which is beautiful to look at. In the middle of the tofu, there are green garlic sprouts, which are even more added
A few points of color.
As soon as the tofu is eaten, it is first heavy numb and spicy, which makes people feel hot, and then chew carefully, the freshness of the garlic sprouts, the tenderness of the tofu, and the hot heat are mixed together, and the fragrance is so fragrant that people can swallow their tongues!
Li Mingjiang did not have a good mouth when he was old, so he liked to eat something tender and chewy, and this tofu had a strong taste, which was suitable for the elderly with a deterioration of taste.
These days when he was sick, Lily didn't let anyone mess with him to eat, every three or five chicken soup, pork legs and tonic, he had never eaten so much meat in half his life, don't look at Lily, a few people are haggard, he is full of red face.
But no matter how delicious the meat is, it is boiled and stewed, no matter how the lily changes the tricks, it is always a little tired of eating, and now when he tastes the chili pepper, Li Mingjiang is in good spirits, although it is spicy and hisses, he still takes the tofu and mixes it with rice and eats it very fragrant.
Zhu said: "I haven't seen anything to eat in my life, look at the cold look!"
She said righteously and awe-inspiringly, but the chopsticks made it fast, not slower than Li Mingjiang.
Several juniors also ate crimson faces, and the tip of the lily's nose was sweaty, giving the chili pepper spicy and refreshing. After eating, I scooped a bowl of light soup and drank it, and the whole person was lazy, with a smile on his face.
Song Haonian was even more reluctant to let his daughter-in-law do the work, and as soon as he made his eyes, Wang Xiaofu helped Lamei clean up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, he also thought: Brother Da Nian treats him so well, and as soon as he comes back, he will create a chance to be alone with Lamei.
Here Song Haonian looked for osmanthus honey by himself, flushed a few glasses of water, and talked with his father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while, telling him what he had seen outside.
It was slowly getting dark, Wang Xiaofu couldn't stay any longer, stood outside and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Zhu hurriedly said: "Now that the eldest aunt is back, her father is taken care of, you don't have to come back in the future!"
A few more times, Sanniu is really his mile!
Wang Xiaofu and Lamei stood outside the window together and were silent, but Li Mingjiang said: "I have been born with you these days, you have a good rest, and come back to talk to me." This man talks a lot when he gets older, and I'm worried that no one will talk to me. ”
"Hey!" Wang Xiaofu happily replied and whispered to Lamei: "You send me to the door." ”
Lamei said: "I'll see you at home every day, it's not that you can't see it, and you want me to send you?"
Although the voice was heard clearly by a few people in the room, Song Haonian looked at each other and smiled, and Zhu pouted: "You don't have a word with me, you talk a lot to people outside!"
Seeing that the old couple was about to quarrel again, Song Haonian hurriedly pulled Lily to his house.
The night was long, and they still had a lot to do.
The enthusiasm that had been accumulated for several months was like a volcanic eruption, and this night Lily was almost tossed to him to pieces, and Song Haonian lay on top of her and couldn't stop calling her name in her ear. Lily wanted to agree, but with a mouth, she couldn't stop the overflowing sound that made her face red, and she couldn't say a word, so she had to whimper and grit her teeth, scratching countless marks on Song Haonian's back.
