Chapter 90: The End of the Day
Liu Wan asked Wang Xiao to bring the charcoal stove, fill it with burning charcoal, and then put a small pot on the charcoal stove and pour the large bone broth into the small pot to heat.
Since discovering that coarse bones are very cheap, Liu Wan has been stewing a pot of coarse bone soup in the pot all day long, and at this time it is just right to make ready-made hot pot base soup.
She took out the mushrooms that were usually dried and threw them into the soup pot to improve the freshness, and asked Wang Li to go to the tofu stall in the village to buy two large pieces of tofu, put them in the pot and stew them together.
Then Liu Wan went to slice the meat herself.
Liu Wan's current knife work is a must, the meat is as thin as paper, but unfortunately there is no beef, but the cow is now not only the treasure of the family, but also the treasure of the government.
Wang Lian was instructed to wash the cabbage heart, Wang Lian dismantled and washed the cabbage, and then put the washed leaves in a bamboo basket.
In addition, the bamboo shoots dug by Wang Li yesterday also came to the field, the bamboo shoots were peeled off, sliced, and put in a pot to boil with tofu.
The milky white bone broth in the pot began to slowly tumble under the puffing of the charcoal fire.
The ingredients at home were too simple, and Liu Wan could only do her best, slicing three catties of lean meat and washing a large basket of tender cabbage.
In addition to cutting the lean meat into paper-like slices, tapioca flour is kneaded to make the meat cook and become more tender.
Liu Wan prepared the dipping sauce again and put the meat slices on the table, so that everyone could hold the shabu with chopsticks.
Then Liu Wan rolled the noodles again, as the staple food of hot pot, the noodles she rolled out were evenly thick, and the Q bomb was chewy.
Half an hour later, Liu Wan's hot pot ingredients were ready.
She beckoned the children to come to the table.
The saliva in everyone's mouths was already tumbling, and Liu Wan gave an order and sat down by the charcoal stove.
Liu Wan first put the meat slices into the piping hot bone broth, and the meat slices changed color after a while, Liu Wan said:
"Put it in the pot and cook it, take out the meat, dip it in the sauce and eat it."
"Mother, it's delicious, the soup is also hot, and the whole body is warm."
Wang Lian ate the slices of meat and said with a smile.
Liu Wan touched her palm, the palm was warm, and sure enough, the heat of the hot pot dispelled the cold in her body.
After shabu-shabu meat, Liu Wan put the noodles in the pot so that everyone could eat them.
There were really not many ingredients for the first hot pot, and Liu Wan could only be simple because of ugliness.
But the children ate very happily, because in their hearts, meat and noodles are already delicious in the world.
After eating the noodles and meat, Liu Wan put the Chinese cabbage into the soup, blanched it, and the dipping sauce also had a unique flavor.
In the end, even the hot pot soup was drunk cleanly, and the tofu and mushrooms in it were all eaten.
Liu Wan said: "This hot pot is too simple, and when the Chinese New Year comes, my mother will give you a whole meal of mountain and sea flavor hot pot." ”
"Mother, it's already very rich, but I heard you say mountain and sea flavor hot pot, and I also feel like I want to drool, what is mountain and sea flavor hot pot?"
The snack king looked at Liu Wan with pity.
"The flavor of mountains and seas is that there are our mountain goods, as well as seafood, prawns, and sea shells, which are delicious."
Liu Wan spoke eloquently.
Wu Hui ate the hot pot made by Liu Wan, and thought it was very delicious, but when she heard that Liu Wan wanted to cook some seafood, she felt that she had to let Wang Xiao talk about her mother-in-law.
Taoyuan Village is backed by the mountains, and the seafood has to be transported from a hundred miles away, and the freight plus the rarity of seafood is expensive.
Liu Wan said that Wu Hui didn't even dare to think about it, and even felt that she couldn't afford to eat it for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wan also said that she wanted to buy seafood?
With a little money there is a fever.
After eating the hot pot, everyone's body warmed up.
Wang Li and Wang Lian didn't feel bitter, they had long been used to freezing, and while they were freezing, they also drank and beat at the same time, saying that their bodies would always be warm.
Liu Wan saw that it was not a problem, so she took out a few clay pots from the firewood room where the firewood was placed, and asked Wang Jing to cut the bamboo into silk, and then put the clay pot into the bamboo shell, and then put the charcoal fire into the clay pot, so that the clay pot could be warmed.
Liu Wan said that this is a homemade stove, and in winter, you can hold the stove to keep warm when you are not working.
Wang Lian used it first, and said in a loud voice that it was warm.
Children who are used to freezing feel like they are hugging the sun when they have a little heat.
Liu Wan's heart was sour.
She made up six stoves in one go before she stopped, so that each person had one.
Fortunately, Wang Jing is powerful enough, Liu Wan only needs to be in charge of editing, this bit of manual work is not difficult for her, and her editing speed is quite fast.
When she finished making it up, it was time to check her homework again......
The next day, the sky cleared.
Liu Wan planned to go to the town to buy cotton as planned, and put real cotton into the children's cotton jackets, but they couldn't let them wear straw core cotton clothes all the time.
Just as she was about to go out, three young men came into the house.
Liu Wan looked very familiar, it was the three young people who were going to be apprentices introduced by Xie Tietou.
Wang Qiang nodded and said embarrassedly:
"Aunt Liu, it rained yesterday, and we guess you didn't work, so you didn't come."
Wang Jing didn't expect them to take the initiative to speak, and they were so polite, he had always been worried that the people in the village would look down on him.
Because last time Wang Carpenter accused him of being a thief, although he had been cleared of charges on the spot and obtained his innocence, Wang Jing always felt that there were still people who looked at him with colored eyes, so he had no confidence in the matter of accepting apprentices.
These young people introduced by Xie Tietou were quite reliable at first glance, and Wang Jing was very happy to see them take the initiative to come to the door.
But he wanted to suppress his joy again, so he could only smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said:
"Yes, I didn't work yesterday, but since you're here today, let's start, right?"
"Okay, master."
The three young men said in unison.
Wang Jing's face turned red.
I didn't expect people to call the master directly, and the attitude was very respectful.
Wang Jing felt the other party's respectful attitude, his heart was very useful, and his confidence couldn't help but increase a lot, he scratched his head and said:
"Come on, let's get to work!"
As soon as Liu Wan saw Wang Jing so happy and full of confidence, she was relieved to go to town with Wang Xiao.
Everyone's cotton clothes can't wait, the north is cold in winter, and in the south, spring is colder than winter, because it always rains in spring.
In fact, if you come to Wang Jing to learn a craft, you will have a salary of ten cents a day, can you make them disrespectful?
Not to mention, if you go to Wang Carpenter's house as an apprentice, don't talk about the working hours, how can you get ten cents a day?
Just because I have a salary and can learn a craft, everyone is willing to come.
When Liu Wan and Wang Xiao arrived in the town, they first gave the braised chicken feet to Wangjianglou, collected their chicken feet, and settled the account, 10 catties of chicken feet were 50 yuan, and the 10 yuan for buying raw chicken feet was deducted, and 40 yuan was actually entered.
This account is settled on a daily basis.
The money in your hands is your own.
Liu Wancai didn't want to settle the monthly bill, or take a longer time to settle the bill, for fear of variables, such as the collapse of Wangjiang Tower.
The shopkeeper Guan was not in the store, Liu Wan told the young man, saying that he would leave a word when the shopkeeper Guan wanted to learn the plan.
