Gu Rao said calmly, "That's chicken essence, which can add flavor to food." ”

Zhang Cuihua was stunned.

"Essence of chicken? I don't think I've heard of it before. ”

Yu Xiang hadn't actually seen it either, but she quickly found a reason for herself and said to Zhang Cuihua, "What's all the fuss about, we countrymen, we haven't seen much." ”

"The way big families cook is really different from ours, look at that step, I am dazzled by many of them, and I don't remember them after reading them again."

Gu Rao said, "I made the chicken essence myself, and it is not sold outside, so let's fill a little bit for one of you later." This production process is a bit cumbersome, and the ingredients for making chicken bouillon are also a bit expensive, so you may not be able to fill much, so you should not be too little. ”

Zhang Cuihua hurriedly waved her hand.

"Since it's so expensive and it's troublesome to make, then you don't have to give it to us, you can keep it for yourself."

Yu Xiang said to Zhang Cuihua, "You don't want me." ”

Forget about being polite with Gu Rao, why did you refuse to even help her?

Gu Rao smiled and said, "All of them have a share." ”

Zhang Cuihua did not refuse again.

"Then I'm not going to be polite to you." But I was thinking in my heart, I would send a little more things to other families tomorrow, and I couldn't let other wild families suffer.

Gu Rao took a look at Xu Yuanyuan's peeled potatoes, took out some of them, and said to Xu Yuanyuan, "Just cut the rest into shreds."

Xu Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Cuihua.

Zhang Cuihua said, "Haven't you cut shredded potatoes at home?" The knife work should be passable, cut slowly, and if you can't cut it, I'll come again. ”

Xu Yuanyuan had no choice but to wash the potatoes, and then tied an apron to the stove to cut shredded potatoes.

Gu Rao started making tamales.

Cut the best pork belly into thin slices together, put it in a basin, pour in cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, pepper and stir well, marinate for about an hour.

Using the pickling time, wash the potatoes for the side dish and cut them into small pieces.

Next, prepare the steamed pork rice noodles.

The materials used in steamed pork rice noodles are rice, glutinous rice, star anise, bay leaves, peppercorns, fennel, dried chili peppers, first put the rice and glutinous rice, spices into the pot and fry slowly over low heat, after the rice grains turn yellow, add the dry chili pepper section and continue to stir-fry for a while, turn off the fire, cool thoroughly, and put it into a stone mortar and pound it into powder.

The marinated meat slices are added to the steamed pork rice noodles, grasped evenly with your hands while soaking, and each slice of meat is coated with flour, the skin is facing down, and the meat is neatly spread in the steaming bowl one by one.

Put the chopped potatoes into a steaming bowl with the meat lined up, sprinkle a little salt, sprinkle some steamed meat powder into it, and steam it in the pot for an hour.

When making tamales, the side pot also steamed a pot of rice, and the rice was almost cooked at this time, Gu Rao did not continue to make potato cakes, but fried a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, and burned a pot of sauerkraut and tofu soup.

"Let's have dinner first."

Today's dinner is a pot of steamed steamed pork, a plate of steamed roasted white, a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a pot of sauerkraut and tofu soup, which is enough for five people.

After the food was served, Gu Rao untied her waist and went to the door to call Beiye to come in and eat, "There are not many people here, come in and eat together, if a guest comes, they will call us." ”

During this time, the customers are almost stable, even if the boss is not in front of the stall, as long as the door is open and the stall is present, you know that they are still open for business.

Beiye answered, and after taking the money jar to the house and putting it away, he washed his hands and sat down to eat.

Yu Xiang first ate a piece of steamed and roasted white, and was fat but not greasy by the plum cabbage, and the soft taste in the entrance was amazing, and he was full of praise for Gu Rao's cooking skills.

"After eating the steamed roasted white you made, I think all the steamed roasted white I have eaten in the first half of my life has been eaten in vain, and I have eaten so many banquets, the steamed roasted white you made is the best!"

I ate another piece of tamale, the meat is fat but not greasy in the mouth, soft and glutinous, melts in the mouth, and the aftertaste is endless in the mouth after swallowing.

"In the future, my family will run wine, and I must invite you to be the chef!"

Gu Rao said modestly, "I can only cook some home-cooked food, and being a chef is not qualified enough, so Aunt Yu won't joke with me." ”

Yu Xiang affirmed, "Steamed roasted white and steamed pork are both big dishes, and most people are only willing to do them during the New Year's festival or when they have a banquet, and you can make these two dishes, and you can already be a chef." ”

Zhang Cuihua also chimed in, "Gu, don't be modest. He glanced at Xu Yuanyuan and said with a smile, "In the future, my family Yuanyuan will hold a wedding wine, and I will also invite you to be the chef." ”

Xu Yuanyuan said angrily, "Mother, you can talk when you speak, what's the fun of me?" I don't want to get married yet, and it's a no-brainer to hold a wedding wine! ”

As he said this, he glanced at Besano again.

I saw that he was concentrating on eating, occasionally giving Gu Rao vegetables, Gu Rao would also serve him vegetables, and the couple occasionally looked at each other, and there was a lot of tenderness and sweetness between their eyebrows and eyes.

It hurts to see her heart.

The food, which I thought was delicious, was a bit tasteless at this time.

Xu Yuanyuan was originally very proud of his cooking skills, thinking that although he was not as beautiful as Gu Rao, he would definitely throw her a lot off in terms of cooking skills, and he would take care of men better than Gu Rao.

But now, that pride is gone.

Gu Rao is not only good-looking, but also has such good cooking skills, how can such a woman not be liked by men?

I'm afraid that Big Brother's heart has already been captured by Gu Rao, right?

Do you still have a chance?

After dinner.

Gu Rao filled Zhang Cuihua and Yu Xiang with a small jar of chicken essence, and then said, "I can fry the potato cakes slowly at home with Xianggong, you can go back to the village early before it gets dark, can you come over before midnight tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Cuihua took it with both hands and said, "I'll wash the dishes first." ”

Gu Rao stopped, "There are not many people, I'll wash it myself, if I delay it any longer, I won't be able to leave when it's dark." There is a guest bedroom on the second floor, but there is only one quilt at home. ”

Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to give up.

"Then we'll go."

Besno sent the three of them to the entrance of the village, and by this time the ox cart had already run out.

Zhang Cuihua said to Biye, "Just send it here, you can go back by yourself, when we usually go to the market, we also walk by ourselves, and we have long been used to it, or we will be home in less than half an hour." ”

Besanome saw them off, and only turned around and went home when he couldn't see them.

-

After Gu Rao finished washing the dishes, she closed the stall early, half-closed the door, boiled a pot of hot water, and mentioned that the bath room was ready for a bath.

When he saw Beno come back, he asked him to close the courtyard door, and only after the courtyard door was locked from the inside did he enter the bath room with confidence.

Maybe she was too tired today, Gu Rao fell asleep while soaking in the bathtub.

When she woke up again, the sky outside was dark blue, and perhaps because she heard her movements, Beno opened her eyes and asked, "Can't sleep?" ”

Gu Rao was still a little confused at this time.

"Isn't it almost dawn?"

Beno was silent for a moment.

"It's dark."

Gu Rao's consciousness gradually woke up, and she suddenly realized that she was taking a bath before, and then fell asleep in the morning bathtub?

How did you get in bed?

Reached out and touched his hair, which was already dry, and touched his collar again, fortunately wearing a layer of single clothes.

You don't have to think about it to know who helped her put on her clothes, and who helped her dry her hair and carry her to bed.

The thought of him looking at himself made his face glow, and he asked in a low voice, "I'm asleep, why don't you wake me up?" ”

Beno said, "I don't want to bother you. ”
