Chapter 19 Pumpkins don't need to be peeled
However, even if she squandered it so much, together with the three meals at home today and tomorrow, she only spent a penny of money.
Lin Yan didn't spend the rest of the money, and found a place to keep it.
By the time all this was done, it was getting dark.
Lin Yan didn't dare to rub it any longer, and began to get busy when he entered the kitchen.
Huang also arrived early and went in to help.
But Lin Yan didn't expect it, and after a while, Xiao Li also looked for it, and seeing that the dishes had not been chosen, he started to help.
Lin Yan was polite to her, saying that he was embarrassed to ask her to help.
She laughed: "What does the family say?" ”
Lin Yan was still polite.
Xiao Li was cautious: "At noon, you said that you know a lot of people and know where to rent a house, but is it true?" ”
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Xiao Li said: "I have talked carefully with your second uncle, although your great-grandmother said that there is no separation, but this house was bought by your father-in-law, how can you really move out and let us live?" ”
Lin Yan was about to say kind words again.
As a result, Xiao Li didn't give her a chance, Xiao Li stopped her, and said, "Even if you let it out, we are embarrassed to live." ”
She said: "Me and your second uncle, we are both cheeky, the fourth uncle has just left, we will drive your orphans and widows to the countryside, lie down this night, then can you still sleep?" ”
That's so true!
Lin Yan looked at Xiao Li's and kept saying, "Second Uncle is ...... heavy" but his eyes lit up a little.
Xiao Li smiled: "It's not serious, besides, Jing'an also has to study, can't you really let Jing'an go back and forth for so long a day every day?" And he is not in good health, even if he wants to board, he should go to Huai'an. ”
That's what makes sense!
Lin Yan continued to be polite, secretly thinking in his heart, Shen Jing'an, the second uncle, is very good.
Thinking so, he looked at the Huang family on the side again.
The Huang family hasn't spoken much since Xiao Li talked about it, but Xiao Li said so much, and he didn't see any surprises or anything like that, thinking that he already knew that Xiao Li would say this.
Lin Yan couldn't help but re-examine the relationship between the Huang family and her concubines.
Xiao Li was still waiting for Lin Yan's reply.
Lin Yan rummaged through the people he knew in his mind, and smiled at Xiao Li's reassuring: "Second uncle, I'll help you find it these days." ”
When Xiao Li heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
She and Shen Erping are both from the countryside, they are not familiar with the people in this town, and renting a house is a big deal, so they are really afraid of being cheated.
If it weren't for the fact that the Li family felt sorry for Shen Huai'an and said that they would stay here, she and Shen Erping would be happy to let Shen Huai'an live in the academy.
It's much cheaper to live in a college than to live here.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Li smelled a smell of oil, looked up and saw another stove next to the stove, the bottom of the wok on the stove was smeared with oil, a few garlic cloves jumped on a thin layer of oil, and a stream of garlic fragrance wafted out after a while.
The garlic was fried, and Lin Yan was holding a knife and gesturing on a small pumpkin.
Xiao Li's eyes widened, and he saw that Lin Yan didn't peel the skin, and started digging directly from the distance of a few fingers down from Guati.
She couldn't help it, and stepped forward to get Lin Yan's kitchen knife: "This pumpkin is not cut like this, you haven't peeled this melon yet......"
Lin Yan didn't give her the knife, but said with a smile: "The second aunt is kind." But for the dish I made today, the pumpkin doesn't need to be peeled. ”
As he spoke, he asked Xiao Li to watch from the side: "Let the second aunt try it later." ”
As he spoke, he raised his knife and cut off the top of the pumpkin entirely.
Lin Yan originally wanted to cut out a trick, but unfortunately the kitchen knife in his hand was too wide and too big, so he really didn't take advantage of it.
Looking at the irregular top that she had dug up, she couldn't help but sigh: It seems that she has to go to the iron shop to fight a few knives.
While thinking, he quickly hollowed out the melon seeds inside the pumpkin to form a cup.
Then I blanched the chicken next to it, put it in piece by piece, put in a handful of green beans that had just been soaked, cut small pieces of garlic, ginger, and green onions, and put them into the pumpkin cup.
Because salt and oil had been put in the marinated chicken just now, Lin Yan didn't add any more salt, she stuffed the chicken pieces, covered the lid that she had just cut, and then put it in the steamer, controlled the heat, and steamed it in the pot.
He also told Huang: "Mother, take out the pumpkin in two quarters of an hour." ”
The Huang family was also watching with relish, and when he heard Lin Yan say this, he hurriedly went to see the sun, and nodded again and again.
The Huang family and the Xiao Li family thought that Lin Yan's approach was very novel, but Lin Yan thought they were very magical.
She really can't understand it, just looking at the sun like this, how can she tell the time?
If you say morning, noon and evening, it may be okay, but how do you look at this half hour?
Anyway, without a mobile phone watch, she can't even calculate the time, but fortunately, Huang has followed her these days, and the time control is with Huang's help.
There is no Beibei pumpkin here, the pumpkin that Lin Yan bought is a little big, but fortunately, it looks very glutinous, and the pumpkin belly is also very big, and a whole chicken is stuffed into it.
So although there were many people, Lin Yan only prepared a pumpkin.
But she bought a little too much eggplant.
Huang had already washed the eggplant, but because she didn't know what Lin Yan was going to do, she didn't cut it and put it in a bamboo basket next to her to dry.
Lin Yan took one, picked the angle, first slice it vertically, did not cut it, cut the eggplant whole, then turned the eggplant around, turned it around, and cut it diagonally, still without cutting it. Then put the eggplant in the pot and steam for ten minutes.
Then the pork is minced, and the ginger and garlic are minced.
Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, stir-fry the minced ginger and garlic, add the minced meat and stir-fry, add a little salt, and stir-fry evenly.
Finally, add an appropriate amount of boiling water, add the steamed eggplant, and cook until the soup is thick.
Out of the pot and put on the plate, the eggplant is like a coiled dragon, the slices that are cut and not broken are like dragon scales, the curve is hovering and lying on the plate, and the green onion is sprinkled with purple eggplant, which looks beautiful and delicious.
Xiao Li and Huang were already stunned, and they often eat eggplants, why didn't they know that they could still do this?
Look at the sparse eggplant that they can only stew, in Lin Yan's hands, it can become so beautiful, it's amazing!
Xiao Li's eyes couldn't wait to stick to the plate, and the appearance of the dragon-like eggplant lying on the plate was really beautiful.
Seeing that Lin Yan was well, she hurriedly stepped forward, took Lin Yan's plate, carefully took it out, and put it on the dining table.
Huang asked again: "Yan Niang, there are still two eggplants left." ”
She only used two of the coiled dragon eggplants just now, and now there are two short and fat ones left.
Lin Yan looked at it and asked Huang to help her chop some meat, and then took another eggplant and cut it.
This time she was going to make lantern eggplant.
