Chapter 9 Purple Vegetable Egg Cake
The fire in the stove had been lit, and white porridge was boiling in the cauldron, which was said to be porridge, but there were countable grains of rice in the white water.
It's not that Chen Guihua is reluctant, yesterday Xu's cooked all the remaining rice at home with white rice, and there was such a small handful of rice left in the jar, cook some white porridge in the morning to pad his stomach, and wait for Xu's to get up and then use yesterday's money to buy some rice and come back.
"Mother, what do you eat in the morning?"
Li Caicai snorted, at the end of autumn, the weather was getting colder and colder, and she just saw that the grass in the yard outside was frosty.
"I'm hungry, right, wait a while, this porridge will be ready, and then my mother will fry a shepherd's cabbage, and your grandma will be ready to eat when she gets up."
This...... I can't eat enough just to eat vegetables and drink porridge, and Li Caicai is swaying back and forth in the kitchen.
Watching Chen Guihua pick the washed shepherd's cabbage, "By the way, mother, what about the wild eggs I picked up yesterday?" ”
"What about in the back three rooms, what's wrong, want to eat eggs?"
When she looked up, Li Caicai had already run away without a trace.
The back three rooms are the third room in the backyard, because they have been empty, and then they became a place similar to a utility room, Li Caicai pushed the door open and went in, and at a glance saw the basket she carried back yesterday.
After taking three wild eggs, she hurried back to the kitchen.
"Mother, I'll make breakfast for you today."
"You kid, what will you do......" As soon as the porridge was served, Chen Guihua raised her eyes and saw a bright light in Li Caicai's eyes, and she couldn't bear to discourage the child's enthusiasm, Chen Guihua nodded, "Okay, you can do it, I want to see what good things you can make." ”
The children in the countryside have long been in charge, when she has been doing work these years, Li Caicai has often helped a little beside her, thinking that she will see that she has cooked too much, how much, poured a scoop of water into the pot, and brushed it with a broom, Chen Guihua went directly to call others to get up.
Li Caicai looked at the fire in the stove just right, and hurriedly went to the yard to move a bamboo chair and put it in front of the stove, this chair was made up when Li Dafu had not had an accident, the quality was very good, and it was quite stable to step on.
Scooped a large scoop of water from the jar and put it in the pot to boil, by the way, put a little salt into the water, as soon as the water boiled, put the shepherd's cabbage on the side into the boiling water, blanched it, scooped it up and dried the water, and then chopped it into minced pieces.
Put the three wild eggs that you just got into the chopped shepherd's cabbage, add a little green onion pulled out of your own vegetable garden and a little salt, and when you stir well, Li Caicai scooped the water in the cauldron dry, and swept the pot a few times with a broom, and after the pot was completely empty, some oil was dripped into the pot to heat.
The family is too poor, the oil pot has bottomed out, and Li Caicai doesn't dare to use too much oil, so she should lose weight.
Seeing that the temperature in the pot was almost there, he immediately poured the stirred shepherd's cabbage egg liquid into it, and the sound of "呩" sounded instantly, the shepherd's cabbage was wrapped in the egg liquid, and with the high temperature Li Caicai took the shovel and pressed it gently, assisting in shaping, until the fragrance spread, she quickly turned over and continued to fry until the color on both sides turned golden, and she quickly brought a plate to put the shepherd's cabbage cake up.
After cutting the cake into eight pieces with a knife, Li Caicai tasted it, the saltiness was just right, the fresh fragrance of the shepherd's cabbage plus the crispness of the eggs, and the unique aroma of the firewood hot pot, it was just, "It's so delicious!" ”
Li Caicai is going to cry, it has the taste of home!
"Good girl, what did you do with osmanthus? I can smell the incense from afar. Xu's voice came from outside the kitchen.
"Vegetable girl?! Why are you here, you? ”
Xu Shi walked into the kitchen, his voice suddenly increased, and he looked at Li Caicai who was stepping on a chair and stool and standing in front of the stove with an apron in disbelief.
Plum cabbage:
"Grandma, you're up, my mother went to wake up my father and second uncle, come and taste the cakes I made."
The first taster came, and she was so excited, as a food blogger, she likes to share food with others, not to mention that she makes it herself!
Xu raised his eyebrows, took the chopsticks, and tasted it.
"Yo, don't say it, it tastes really good, better than your mother's cooking!"
Li Caicai grinned, "It's time to eat!" ”
Xu Shi was holding the white porridge that was cold on the side, Li Caicai was holding the shepherd's cabbage egg cake, and Xiaobai, who came after hearing the sound, picked up the pickles that were not eaten yesterday, and the three of them walked to the hall together.
"Osmanthus, you will take these to the backyard to Dafu and Er'an, Caicai and Xiaobai, hurry up and wash your face and go to eat."
As he spoke, Xu put the two servings of breakfast on the tray and handed them to Chen Guihua.
Although breakfast is very simple, Li Caicai eats very comfortably, and compared with the days when she never ate breakfast before, she really has a healthier life!
Xiaobai was still very edible, ate two pieces of shepherd's cabbage cakes, and then dried five bowls of white porridge with pickles, then smacked his lips and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
As for the amount of food he eats, Li Caicai is no longer surprised, fortunately she has space, otherwise she really doesn't have the confidence to let him eat enough.
After the meal, Xu said that he wanted to go to the county seat, Li Dafu and Li Er'an's medicine was almost finished, and they had to catch some more, buy some food by the way, and go back to wash some clothes from big families.
"Grandma, I'll go with you, let's take the pheasants and hares we picked up yesterday and sell them in the county."
I know that my family is poor, but I didn't think that I was so poor, and there are not many space coins, Li Caicai thought for a long time, and the only way to make money with quick results was to eat less meat in the past two days, and exchange some money to buy some chicks to raise in the space, where they will grow fast, and when the time comes, there will be meat to eat and money to exchange again.
"Okay, you go and talk to your father, and grandma will take you there." Xu nodded, thinking that those things would be kept for the vegetable girl to improve the food, but who expected that she would propose to exchange it for money, worthy of her granddaughter, like her, she felt that it was more reliable to have more money in her pocket.
After Li Caicai ran to the backyard and explained one by one, she took out an empty small back basket from the room next to her and walked to the front room, where Xu and Xiaobai were already waiting.
"Xiaobai will also go with us." Xu thought about taking Xiaobai to the county seat, and he could go to the official's house to ask if anyone had reported to the official to find his son.
Li Caicai thought about it, seeing that Xiaobai was wearing the clothes of the third uncle when he was a child, old and worn, no one would definitely think of him with the little emperor and grandson, okay, as long as you don't take him to report to the official, the people who chased him must think he is dead.
Xu walked in front, carrying a basket containing pheasants and hares on his back, and picked up a wooden stick pillar at will, and there was a long mountain road to the county seat.
"Grandma, give me the basket."
Xiaobai is a head taller than Li Caicai, but before he reaches Xu's shoulders, Xiaobai tries to take the basket from Xu's back, but Xu pretends to be angry and says, "There are not many things, there is no reason for you children to carry them." ”
