Chapter 379: A bumper harvest of spices, roasted garlic and eggplant
After having a clear context, General Zhao arranged for people to do these trivial but important things.
Autumn is the harvest season.
Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn.
General Zhao anxiously waited for this year's harvest, after all, he asked His Majesty for so much silver to build a waterwheel. If it doesn't work, even if he is His Majesty's brother-in-law, it won't be any better.
After the statistical results were sent, General Zhao was overjoyed, and after confirming them again and again, he wrote an excerpt and submitted it. Followed by the excerpts of the Tuntian soldiers, as well as the excerpts of asking Li Yuanqing for credit, and Li Yuanqing's wishes.
Li Yuanqing also wrote an excerpt, hoping to return to Cuiyang County, Xunyang Prefecture to train sailors. Send it to General Zhao and send it to the capital together.
The next thing is that Li Yuanqing waited for the news, and by the way, he boiled the sheep fat spicy seeds with dried chili powder, which set off a trend in the northwest city. If you don't eat mutton fat and spicy seeds, you are not the richest and most powerful person in the Northwest City
Of course, this is Li Yuanqing's situation in the Northwest City, and Jixiang Town on Liu Paner's side is also very different this year.
In May, thirty acres of cumin powder finally matured.
Liu Paner continued to hire long-term workers and many short-term workers, harvested the cumin, dried it, and returned the granules to the warehouse, all of which were packed in hemp bags.
Last year, Liu Paner made several barbecues and used cumin, which was well received by everyone.
Now that the harvest is over, the long-term workers have begun to plant corn and sweet potatoes in the fields, and tomatoes, melons and melons have also been planted, but not much.
Li Nan pestered Liu Pan'er all day long, "Mother, can you make cumin barbecue and eat it?" The thought of last year's barbecue makes my mouth water. ”
Li Xiaobao raised his hand, "Mother, I like to eat cumin lamb chops." ”
Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "You guys really know how to eat!" But now that the busyness is over, it's time to treat everyone. At noon today, let's start making cumin barbecue. ”
Li Dabao held the grid frame in his hand, followed by Tang Dazhu, carrying a large iron box.
"Mother, I made a new barbecue grill, and today I can grill more at a time with my rack." Li Dabao smiled, and when the cumin harvest at home was harvested, he began to make this multi-functional barbecue grill, as well as some ingenious barbecue gadgets.
Liu Paner came over and couldn't cry or laugh when she saw this barbecue grill that was similar to her previous life. People are always so positive when it comes to eating. In order to eat, constantly refine the tools.
Marinated pork belly, lamb, and beef in a porcelain bowl.
Li Rong is holding a skewer to thread strings, and washed leeks, long beans, and green beans can also be skewered.
Liu was washing eggplants and was quite puzzled, "Pan'er, can eggplants be roasted and eaten?" ”
Skewers of leeks and beans and the like, Liu still understands, but there is a strange smell of eggplant, Liu thinks it must not be delicious.
"Cat, peel some more garlic and chop it into minced garlic." Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Xiaohua, just wait." It wasn't tasty, so I ate it all. ”
Liu was skeptical, cut five eggplants, and inserted them with a skewer.
Liu Paner saw that the meat had been marinated and tasted, and began to skewer meat with everyone.
Li Dabao has put a lit charcoal in the barbecue grill, this barbecue grill is four and a half feet long, and can grill many skewers at a time, but it also needs a lot of charcoal.
Tang Dazhu followed Li Dabao's example, put the meat skewers on the barbecue grill, and then turned the meat skewers and vegetable skewers from time to time, brushed the oil from time to time, and the sound of squeaking and squeaking was endless.
At the same time, the fragrance wafts far away.
Originally, the meat was already very fragrant, and then with salt, and then with the barbecue seasoning prepared with cumin and five-spice powder, if someone eats chili, and then sprinkle chili powder alone, the fragrance is even more rich and domineering.
Liu Paner brushed the eggplant with a layer of oil and began to roast, topping it with minced garlic, salt and seasonings. Roast the eggplant slowly, place it on the side over low heat, and roast slowly. The skin of the eggplant is roasted and changes color, and the flesh inside also changes color and becomes soft.
Although there are many people, it can be grilled much at one time, and everyone puts two vegetarian dishes and a meat skewer on their plate.
Liu Paner specially put roasted eggplant for Liu's family, and sprinkled chili powder on it, "Sister Xiaohua, hurry up and taste it, it tastes good." ”
Liu couldn't wait for a long time, although he still didn't trust the taste of eggplant, but this was made for her by Liu Paner herself, and she was particularly respected, it should be particularly delicious, and she used chopsticks to pick up the soft eggplant meat inside.
The eggplant is soft and tender, with the taste of minced garlic, seasoning and salt, and a sprinkle of chili powder, which is really delicious.
Liu's eyes lit up, and he gave Liu Pan'er a thumbs up, "Pan'er, this roasted eggplant is amazing, it's better than meat." ”
Hearing Liu's praise, Li Rong was quick to grab the two that had just been baked, one to put on her mother's plate, and the other to stay on her plate, to try the taste of roasted eggplant.
Li Rong also praised again and again, "It's delicious, it tastes so good." Big brother, I still want to eat roasted eggplant. ”
Seeing this, Li Nan leaned over and opened his small mouth, "Sister, good sister, give me a bite of eggplant." I'll give you my lamb skewers, okay? ”
Li Rong saw that her sister was dumbfounded, of course she would not refuse her sister's request, and pinched the eggplant meat with chopsticks, worried that the steaming eggplant meat would burn her sister, she also blew, "Eat slowly, don't burn it." ”
"Thank you, sister." Li Nanxi smiled, opened his small mouth, and ate the eggplant meat in one bite, his ruddy lips kept squirming, he didn't have time to praise the delicious, his eyes were shining, and he waited until he swallowed the eggplant meat in his mouth, "Good times...... Good times...... Big brother, I'm going to eat eggplant too. ”
When the others saw this, even Li Nan, who was picky, said that it was delicious, so this roasted eggplant must be delicious, so everyone wanted to roast the eggplant.
I cut five eggplants before, and each eggplant was divided into two, and after roasting, it was only ten servings, which was really not enough to eat.
Seeing that everyone likes to eat roasted eggplants, Yu'er Mei immediately went to the vegetable garden to pick six more eggplants, two of which were still half grown and were picked back by Yu'er Mei before they were finished.
Liu Pan'er picked up a plate of various kebabs, put two slices of grilled eggplant on another plate, and handed them to Li Dabao, "Dabao, send them to Grandma Tai and Grandpa the village chief." Everyone also tried it. ”
Li Dabao handed over the barbecue to Tang Dazhu and took the plate, "Okay, grandma has no teeth, it is estimated that she can only eat roasted eggplant." ”
"Yes, roasted eggplant tastes no worse than meat, and she must like to eat it." Liu Pan'er smiled, "Go and come back quickly, don't delay." ”
At the same time, Village Chief Li's house next door was eating.
Although there is fish and meat on the table, and it is still white rice, and there is also a braised intestine that has just come out of the pot, these aromas are a little dull in comparison with the domineering fragrance that keeps wafting over next door.
The youngest grandson, Doudou, no longer sat at the table to eat, but directly held the bowl, squatted in the corner of the two houses, smelled the fragrance, and ate pitifully.
People who don't understand the situation think that he is not eating, but eating the hard-to-swallow Guanyin soil.
