Chapter 16: Claypot Rice

Xu Mu thought for a moment, soaked the rice first, and set it aside for later use.

Then I opened the cupboard and turned out a pile of condiments, intending to start with the sauce first.

She tried hard to recall what seasonings were used in those videos when she used to watch videos.

First of all, there must be soy sauce and sugar, and then there is light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and after thinking about it, I took out a bottle of sesame oil.

Xu Lan first took a bowl out of the cupboard, poured the seasonings into the bowl in turn, and stirred well.

Then I took the chopsticks and dipped them, put them in my mouth and tasted them, and it was almost the same taste.

She looked at the rice that was soaking aside, and seeing that the rice was not yet soaked, she began to process the sausage and bacon first.

The bacon is vacuum-packed, she first tears the package open, takes out the bacon from it, and then pokes a chopstick into the bacon, so that it is more convenient to roast it over the fire for a while, so as not to burn her hands.

Then turn on the gas stove and turn the heat down, pick up one end of the chopsticks, hold the bacon on the flame and start roasting, which can roast the meat skin softer, and can also remove the hair on the pig skin.

After roasting the meat skin until it bubbled, Xu Lan extinguished the gas stove, took out a basin from the cupboard, put the roasted bacon into the basin, took out the hot water kettle and poured hot water into the basin, and soaked for a while.

Then he began to cut the sausage, Xu Lan cut the sausage into even slices and put it aside, because it was just to test it to see if it could be done successfully, so Xu Lan only prepared a two-person portion.

At this time, the bacon was also soaked, Xu Lan took out an iron rag and began to scrub vigorously on the surface of the bacon to remove the dust and dirt on it.

Then boil a pot of boiling water, after the water boils, put the processed bacon into the pot and start to cook, boil until you can poke it into the meat with a gentle poke with chopsticks, take out the meat and let it cool and slice it.

At this time, the rice was also soaked, Xu Lan took out a casserole from the cupboard, cleaned the pot and put it on the stove, unscrewed the gas, and poured a little oil into it after the pot was hot.

Then pad it with a rag, hold the pot up, and shake the oil inside.

Then talk about the rice taken out of the water and put it into the casserole, pour an appropriate amount of water into the casserole, and the water can not exceed one centimeter of rice.

Turn the gas stove to medium heat and simmer for eight minutes, then lift the lid of the pot, spread the processed sausages and bacon inside, cover the pot, and pour a circle of oil on the circle of the lid.

After two minutes, Xu Lan carefully lifted the lid of the pot, beat two eggs into it, put the vegetables picked from the space, covered the pot and simmered for ten minutes, and then poured the adjusted claypot rice juice, and a fragrant claypot rice was out of the pot.

Xu Lan glanced at the time, it was almost half past ten, and she went back to the bedroom to change her clothes first.

Then I was going to the photo studio at the market to take a picture of the cooked claypot rice, after all, the competition requirement is to submit a photo of the food.

The market on this side of the family courtyard is actually not far away, and it takes about ten minutes to walk, so Xu Lan did not go out by bicycle.

She took the casserole and walked to the market.

In the gazebo in the courtyard on the road, several middle-aged women sat there, chatting there.

Xu Lan saw that some of them were staring at the pot in her hand and pointing there, and she didn't know what to say there, so Xu Lan didn't pay attention to it.

The gazebo was bustling with activity.

There are a lot of people sitting inside, and they like to sit together and chat about daily routines when they are bored on weekdays.

Among them, Zhao Xiaohong is inside.

If Xu Mu was there, she would definitely be able to recognize that this woman was the one who asked Aunt Li who she was that day.

This is not the incident of Feng Tian's bag yesterday, it has been spread all over the family courtyard, and everyone is talking about it here, this time Feng Tian is a big loser.

"Oh, Sister Zhao, you said that Feng Tian and her mother couldn't be angry when she found out about this, she was showing off on weekdays, and she didn't know how rich her family was!"

"A rich girl carries a fake bag, and her man tells it in public, which is really laughing to death."

"It's not like that, these two girls usually see people's nostrils facing the sky, how can they think they will make such a fuss."

"Thanks to the daughter-in-law of Dr. Lu's family, otherwise how could we watch this excitement, she..."

Zhao Xiaohong was about to say how Xu Lan was, but she saw Xu Lan passing by them, still holding a casserole in her hand, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

I didn't know what was delicious in the pot, and she asked about the fragrance when she was so far away.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaohong seemed to have found a new topic, and hurriedly pushed the middle-aged woman on the side: "Alas, look at it, isn't that the Lu family's mouth, why do you still bring a pot when you go out?" I can smell it all here. ”

The topic of a group of people instantly shifted from Feng Tian to Xu Lan.

"I've heard, this daughter-in-law of the Lu family is a loser, I heard Feng Tian and her mother say that her Feng Tian went to the Lu family as a guest, and guess how to recruit it?"

"What's the matter, you say it quickly, it's really uncomfortable to break it halfway through."

Zhao Xiaohong saw that everyone's eyes were on her, and she looked curiously looking forward to continuing to speak, and her waist was straight in an instant, and she was very proud.

The tone was unconsciously amplified: "Guess what, Aunt Feng said that there are only two people in her family, and she actually cooks four dishes to eat!" ”

The middle-aged women's gossip squad blew up the nest at once.

"Four dishes! This is too extravagant, how much does this Dr. Lu have to earn a month to be able to feed his daughter-in-law! It's too much of a loser. ”

"I've lived to be in my forties, and I haven't cooked four dishes in one meal at home except for the Chinese New Year."

"I've heard, yesterday this Feng Tian said that Xu Lan went to collect scrap, do you think she is too loser, and it is designated that Dr. Lu's salary was spent by her, so she went to collect the scrap?"

"Don't mention it, my family lives close to her house, and when it comes to the meal, the fragrance will be wafting in her yard, not to mention how much you can eat!"

After speaking, several middle-aged women glanced at each other, shook their heads together, and finally came to a conclusion:

"This Dr. Lu's daughter-in-law is lazy, greedy and a loser!"

Xu Mo didn't know that she had become that in the mouths of those neighbors.

When she arrived at the photo studio, she was holding the pot of claypot rice in her arms, and the clerk saw her walk in and greeted her warmly:

"This lady, are you going to take a picture?"

Xu Mo nodded after hearing this.

The clerk welcomed her into the room and sat down on a chair and began to introduce her:

"Would you like to take a passport photo or an art photo?"

"We provide free makeup and styling here, and they are all professional makeup artists and photographers, so we can guarantee that you are satisfied with the results."

"There are still costumes available over there, but there is a fee, so what do you want to photograph?"

After listening to the clerk's introduction, Xu Lan thought for a moment and asked, "Can you take color photos at home?" ”

"Of course you can, not to mention anything else, our color photos are the first in our Yunbei County, and other photo studios don't have our technology."

Xu Mo nodded after hearing this: "That's okay, I'll take it." ”

The clerk was overjoyed when he heard this, and he came to business, and hurriedly greeted the makeup artist opposite.

Seeing this, the makeup artist hurriedly came: "Madam, I'm here to put on your makeup, what do you think you need in terms of styling?" ”

"Makeup? No need, as for the requirements...? ”

Xu Lan looked down at the casserole he was holding in his hand, handed it to the clerk and said:

"Just make it look delicious."
