Chapter 461: Don't Like It?

The bamboo forest land is stacked with fallen leaves, and the bottom has been decayed, and it has just rained for several days in Qingming some time ago, Wei Lan used a hoe to pick up a layer of dead branches and fallen leaves on the surface, and a damp musty smell came to his nose.

Wei Lan frowned and covered her nose, tilted her head back, and slowly got used to it for a while before officially starting to excavate.

The soil was still wet, and it was not difficult to dig, and five centimeters away from the bamboo shoots, Wei Lan dug for only ten minutes before digging five centimeters deep.

The bamboo shoots are triangular in shape, and the top is gradually lowered, and the further down the soil becomes, the thicker it becomes.

After a rough estimate, the bottom of the bamboo shoot was as thick as her thigh, fifty or sixty centimeters long, and it had to be at least fourteen or fifteen catties.

Wei Lan wanted to dig a little deeper, and then dig two more, but when he looked at the watch time, it was already eleven o'clock, and he was about to rush to the big canteen at half past eleven.

Afraid of misleading the business, she used her strength, and the top of the sharp-beaked hoe stuck to the bottom of the bamboo shoot, Wei Lan pressed the handle of the hoe down, and a huge bamboo shoot was instantly cocked and crooked to the side.

"Big guy, that's you!" Pushing the soil back into the stunned twice, Wei Lan smiled and patted the huge bamboo shoots, hugged the hoe into his arms, and trotted back.

The willow warbler is in full spring, the withered yellow straw roof and the green tile roof are scattered at random, and the green and white cooking smoke comes out from the cracks in the roof.

In the alley under the eaves, the walls are covered with moss, and the narrow stone path has a shallow puddle every few steps.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of "boom" footsteps, and a six-and-a-half-inch cloth shoe stepped into the shallow puddle.

The water droplets splashed, and the young girl ran quickly with the basket, and in the rippling puddle, a slender figure with green hair and black hair was faintly reflected......

"Why haven't you come yet? It can't be sick, right? I've never heard her talk about it! โ€

"Quick, come and help me ......"

As soon as his hand fell, the basket fell on the threshold, and Wei Lan gasped for breath with his shoulder against the door frame.

As soon as Li Sangsang turned around and saw that it was her, he hurriedly stepped forward to help with a smile, "What did you bring again?" We didn't see you here, and we thought you weren't coming today! โ€

Li Sangsang stretched out his hand to carry the basket, which was heavier than expected, and he didn't pick it up the first time.

Without waiting for Wei Lan to reply, Li Sangsang lifted the coarse cloth covering the basket, and his eyes widened, "Bamboo, bamboo shoots?" โ€

Rubbing your eyes and looking at it again, it's still a bamboo shoot.

Li Sangsang hissed, and looked at Wei Lan with an indescribable expression, "Add dinner at noon?" That's it? โ€

Although the fried bamboo shoots have a crispy and crispy taste, the taste is very astringent and difficult to swallow.

Li Sangsang couldn't think of what Wei Lan wanted to do.

"Well, that's it." Wei Lan shook her hand and walked into the kitchen, "I'm only a little late when I go digging bamboo shoots, if it weren't for the time squeeze, I would have wanted to dig two more!" โ€

Li Sangsang suddenly lost her voice, and Wei Lan looked back at her, "What's wrong?" โ€

"No, nothing." Li Sangsang shook his head hurriedly, bit his lip and still couldn't help but say: "The bamboo shoots taste very astringent, if you make them, they will definitely not want to eat them, why bother with that effort?" โ€

Although she knew that Wei Lan had a good skill in cooking, Li Sangsang had tasted the taste of bamboo shoots, and she was still deeply impressed by the astringency, and she really couldn't think of what Wei Lan had to do to make bamboo shoots delicious.

Li Sangsang can't do it, but Jiang Lihua has eaten at Wei Lan's hands many times, and she has a blind trust in Wei Lan's craftsmanship.

Jiang Lihua urged Li Sangsang to open the grain cabinet to get grain, and took an empty basin and brought a basin of water to the kitchen table.

Jiang Lihua picked up two kohlrabi and came out, broke off the leaves outside and washed them with the water in the basin, and looked at Wei Lan with expectant eyes while washing, "What are you going to do with bamboo shoots?" How can I help? โ€

Jiang Lihua said, her throat rolling, and she couldn't help but suck her saliva.

Wei Lan was amused by her unpromising appearance, "Did you kill the yellow eel today?" โ€

"Kill, kill! Just wash it and wait for the fire to have hot water to soak it. Li Sangsang turned his head.

Speaking of yellow eel, Li Sangsang couldn't help but say a few more words, "Originally, my brother said that he would take the time to kill at noon. Who knew that as soon as I opened the lock of the canteen, the bolt working in the field ran back, and as soon as I entered the door, I carried a bucket of yellow eels and asked how many to kill. I'm really ......."

Li Sangsang spread her hands and didn't say anything, as a way to show her speechlessness.

"What does that mean? It shows that our yellow eel is delicious, which is something to remember! Jiang Lihua was very up-chested, happy, and proud.

Jiang Lihua was always envious of Wei Lan's delicious cooking, Wei Lan couldn't stand her bright and adoring eyes, so she simply beckoned her to watch while cooking.

After watching the opportunity continuously, Jiang Lihua also figured out a little way, and then tried to slap the spoon once, and successfully won a series of praises from Wei Lan and others.

Jiang Lihua also became more and more courageous, as long as Wei Lan made a new dish, she would watch from the side, and when she learned it later, she took the initiative to take over the work of "head chef".

The daily work of the canteen is to prepare and stir-fry.

When preparing the food, it was three people together, and the work of stir-frying was taken over by Jiang Lihua, and there was Li Sangsang on the fire, and at one time, Wei Lan even felt that she was just a decoration in the big canteen.

And the reason why Jiang Lihua is in a happy mood right now is officially because those yellow eels are produced in her hands.

When Jiang Lihua said this, Li Sangsang also felt that it was.

The smell of yellow eel mud is so big, Wei Lan can handle it, and it makes no sense that the small astringency of bamboo shoots can't be removed.

Thinking about it like this, when he landed, Li Sangsang was also like Jiang Lihua, and looked at Wei Lan expectantly, "Wei Lan, you haven't said it yet, what are the bamboo shoots going to do!" โ€

Looking at two pairs of laser-like eyes, Wei Lan was uncomfortable, shaking the goosebumps on his body, Wei Lan walked to the wooden basin containing the yellow eel, "Hurry up and light the fire, and deal with the yellow eel." Today, let's stop making stewed yellow eel, make a stir-fried one, and change the taste. โ€

Jiang Lihua thought of something and asked, "Stir-fry with bamboo shoots?" โ€

"Hmm." Wei Lan nodded.

The results were finalized, and the three girls began to divide their own work.

Jiang Lihua washed rice and sweet potatoes, and Li Sangsang burned fire and water.

Before coming to the big cafeteria, Wei Lan had already cleaned the bamboo shoots, cut off the most tender part of the bamboo shoots, and left them at home.

While the water in the pot was boiling and bubbles, Wei Lan neatly put the bamboo shoots cut into long pieces and blanched them.

Wei Lan is willing and tries his best to help the people working in the big canteen to improve their food, but people are selfish, and their willingness is established before guaranteeing themselves.

"The reason why bamboo shoots are astringent is because there is a calcium oxalate substance in them, if calcium oxalate is not removed, bamboo shoots will not only taste bitter and astringent, but also cause stomach discomfort."

Wei Lan explained while gently pushing the bamboo shoots in the pot with a colander, "But it doesn't matter, as long as you fry the water once, you can dissolve calcium oxalate." In the future, whether bamboo shoots are used for stewing soup or stir-frying, they will not be astringent. โ€

Li Sangsang nodded and listened carefully.

Jiang Lihua pricked up her ears and listened for a while, then suddenly her hand was withdrawn from the basin, slapped her forehead, and slapped the water all over her face, "It's broken!" โ€

Jiang Lihua sighed, her face full of chagrin, as if something important had been delayed.

Wei Lan looked back at her, and just wanted to ask her if she wanted to go first, but she suddenly said again: "I forgot to bring the notebook for taking notes!" โ€

Li Sangsang: ......?

Wei Lan: ...... Is there something wrong with you?

Blanch the bamboo shoots out of the pot with cold water, pour the hot water in the pot into the wooden basin, wash off the mucus on the yellow eel segment, and take out the fishy smell.

Li Sangsang was scooping up rice, Wei Lan beckoned Jiang Lihua to stand beside her, and she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand and almost wielding an afterimage.

Just now, the bamboo shoots that were ten or twenty centimeters long were carved into two millimeter-wide slices.

Jiang Lihua's eyes widened, "This, this ......"

"It's nothing, you can cut like this if you slow down a little." Wei Lan pursed her lips and smiled gently, "Blanch the bamboo shoots and slice them, and after the yellow eel is muddy, it is the same as before, take the green onions, ginger, garlic, and starch to pickle." โ€

Every time Wei Lan said a step, Jiang Lihua nodded and made sure that he remembered it, and then continued, "When marinating yellow eel, you can make preparations first, pondering the number of yellow eel to pick onions, ginger and garlic." We are now in a big pot of rice, there are many people, and we have at least three garlic heads. โ€

As he spoke, Wei Lan pulled out three garlic heads from the basket and beckoned Jiang Lihua to squat on the edge of the table to peel the garlic.

"The preliminary work is finished, pour oil into the pot, and when the oil is hot, stir-fry with garlic cloves and dried chili peppers, and then pour in the yellow eel and stir-fry. The seasonings are still soy sauce and salt, and if you go home and make it yourself, if you can, you can add some sugar, and the taste will be better. โ€

Jiang Lihua tilted her head and looked at Wei Lan in confusion, "It's salt and sugar, can it be delicious?" โ€

Wei Lan knew what Jiang Lihua was thinking, and laughed "poof", and then let out a long "um".

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes were shining, for example: "Have you ever eaten braised pork in a state-run restaurant?" โ€

Seeing Jiang Lihua nodded, Wei Lan explained excitedly: "Many people try to make braised pork at home, and although it tastes good, it is not as delicious as the state-run restaurant, the reason is that the braised pork in the restaurant is fried with sugar, and everyone makes it at home with soy sauce." โ€

Jiang Lihua nodded, a little understandable.

On the side, Li Sangsang's eyes were indeed wide, "My mother!" No wonder the braised pork in the state-run restaurant is so expensive, it turns out that it is not only meat, but also sugar! โ€

The braised pork in the state-run restaurant is very large and sincere, and the small portion costs two cents a piece, and the large portion costs eight cents a piece.

When Li Sangsang went to the town, she was also hungry for braised pork, but her father refused to buy it for her.

Although he hadn't tasted it, it didn't affect Li Sangsang's surprise at all.

Wei Lan pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, then clapped her hands, and took the two of them back to the topic, "The yellow eel meat is copied to change color, you can pour it into the bamboo shoots, continue to stir-fry for a while, then pour half a bowl of water and simmer for a while, when the pot is boiling, try the saltiness, if it's okay, you can serve it with starch." โ€

Jiang Lihua nodded, "I'll try it later?" You watch from the sidelines, and if something is wrong, you tell me? โ€

Wei Lan thought about it for a while, it's okay.

It's better to learn faster by doing it yourself than by watching from the sidelines.

In the end, under the guidance of Wei Lan, Jiang Lihua successfully completed the dish of stir-fried yellow eel with bamboo shoots.

Although there were two times in the middle of the rush to poke a lot of yellow eel meat, Jiang Lihua was very satisfied with the final taste.

Because......

It's really delicious!

The bamboo shoots are crispy, the yellow eel is meat in one bite, and the soup after the starch is thickened with a faint spicy taste, which stimulates the index finger of the person.

The fragrance and color are all there, and before you eat it, you know what kind of delicious it is.

Jiang Lihua and Li Sangsang finished chewing the bamboo shoots in their mouths, turned around and couldn't wait to get the dishes and chopsticks to prepare the meal.

Wei Lan untied his shirt and hung it behind the kitchen door, shook his sleeves and said, "Don't give it to me, I have something at home, so I have to go back quickly." โ€

They work in the big canteen, and they also eat in the big canteen at noon, and they are usually afraid that the food will be cold when they are busy, so they will eat before the people who go to the field come back.

Jiang Lihua's movements slowed down, looked back at Wei Lan, opened her mouth to say something, but before she could say it, Li Sangsang said: "This meal is all good, if you don't eat it now, will it be difficult to cook it yourself when you go back?" What a hassle! And, thanks to that! โ€

Losses are the main point.

The bamboo shoots are so delicious, and the soup is so fragrant......

Moreover, eating in the big canteen can at least save two taels of food for the family!

Li Sangsang felt that it was inappropriate in his heart, and wanted to persuade him again, so Wei Lan sat in the hall.

"Alright, you two will divide my share!" Wei Lan turned his head and waved his hand with a smile, "I'm really in trouble, let's go!" โ€

Coming out of the big cafeteria, he stepped into the alley and bumped into Gu Chao who was running over.

Wei Lan's feet were shocked, and Gu Chao quickly held her up, "Scared?" โ€

"Nope." Wei Lan shook her head and looked at him in confusion, "Why is it so early today?" โ€

"I'm counting the trumpets, and they're walking behind." Gu Chao led Wei Lan and walked back, "I came here." I'll go to the town with Brother Yang in a while, don't cook for me. โ€

Gu Chao hurriedly came here just to tell Wei Lan this.

Wei Lan twisted her eyebrows, "Still haven't got anything back?" โ€

Gu Chao nodded, his voice was faint and unhurried, "There are still a few sacks of cloth, I will run with Brother Yang at noon, and I will come after work in the afternoon, and I will be able to get it back by touching it." โ€

After that, Gu Chao glanced sideways at Wei Lan, and saw that her hair was loose and her hair was scattered, he reached out to help her pin it behind her ear, and asked, "Did you take it back in the morning?" Do you have a favorite? โ€

"Nope."

She went to dig bamboo shoots after making vermicelli in the morning, and the hemp bag in the room didn't move.

Gu Chao looked at her sideways, "Don't like it?" โ€

"It's not." Wei Lan shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Gu Chao, and simply changed the topic, "How long do you have to go to town?" Is 50 minutes of cycling enough? โ€

Gu Chao was silent for a moment, as if he was estimating, and shook his head for a while, "It takes one hour and twenty minutes, the fastest." โ€

There is only one bicycle at home, and he rides there by bicycle, and when he gets there, he still needs to say hello to someone, and friends and family will come to help get it, so he should have to go around for a while.

The backstage is quiet every day as if dead, I really want to ......

I really want a book review! ๏ผˆยท ()ยท๏ผ‰
