Chapter Seventy-Six: In order to eat well, make five-spice powder

Li Changlu cried bitterly, and kept pounding the ground with both hands, "Mother, my son is really wrong, and he will never do it again in the future." ”

Zhou Xiaohua shed tears while chopping meat, tears in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, why do you say my mother is so ruthless?" Changlu is his own son! ”

Wu Cuihong didn't raise her eyelids, and snorted, "That mother-in-law is still Changlu's mother-in-law, and I haven't seen Changlu look at my mother-in-law more?" ”

"If my mother-in-law was ruthless, she would have driven your family away a long time ago, and would she let Li Changlu kneel over there to reflect?"

Zhou Xiaohua was very unconvinced when she heard her sister-in-law say this, "Hmph, sister-in-law, you will see jokes." If the eldest brother is here, he may not do better than our Changlu! ”

"Huh!" Wu Cuihong glanced at Zhou Xiaohua, as if she was smiling, and the work in her hands kept stopping, "If you want to talk about other things, maybe Changfu may not do a good job, but Liu Yunde wants to come to the house, he will definitely stop him and won't let him in." ”

"I don't believe it!" Zhou Xiaohua retorted, "Do you think everyone is like a three-nerd!" ”

Wu Cuihong shook her head and smiled, looking at Zhou Xiaohua with a little more contempt, "You think the third child is stupid, but grandpa and mother said that the third child is the smartest person in the family, and his martial arts are also the most powerful." ”

"This ......" Zhou Xiaohua was speechless, and looked at Wu Cuihong resentfully, "Sister-in-law, my man has been offended, you still don't comfort me, and you still ridicule me, are we still a family?" ”

Wu Cuihong shook her head and smiled, "It's because of the family that I told you this." It's not a family, so I don't bother to say it. ”

"Hurry up and chop the filling, it's going to be mixed in a while! delays your mother-in-law's cooking, and counts you down. As for Li Changlu, let him kneel and have a long memory. ”

"Otherwise, with the temperament of the two of you, you may do even more excessive things in the future! When the time comes, you will really be driven away by your mother-in-law, and you will regret it! ”

Zhou Xiaohua disagreed, "What can we do that is infuriating and resentful?" Sister-in-law, you will worry about the sky! ”

Wu Cuihong said so much, seeing that Zhou Xiaohua still had an elm head, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, she didn't bother to say it.

Li Xiaoyue tore off the tendons of the long beans, cleaned them, blanched them in a pot, and then put them in a sieve to dry the water on the surface.

Li Xiaoyue took the long beans that dried the surface to the house and said to Zhou Xiaohua: "Chop these beans and mix them with these meat fillings." ”

Although Zhou Xiaohua dared to talk about her mother-in-law in front of her sister-in-law, when she really faced Li Xiaoyue, she didn't dare to say half a word, she was honest.

"Mother, don't worry! I'll be sure to chop it up and fine! ”

"Hmm!" Li Xiaoyue nodded, her expression indifferent.

Zhou Xiaohua did things more carefully, hoping that her mother-in-law would see her so diligent and punish him less.

Gongsun Lian drank tea quietly, and at the same time carefully observed everyone in this family with his eyes and ears.

In addition, he also found Qin Yuyao sitting by the window of the house doing needlework, and looked out from time to time.

Gongsun Lian lowered his head and smiled, and the noisy and noisy farmhouse was also full of fireworks in the world.

Zhou Xiaohua finished the stuffing, put it in the basin, and brought it over diligently, "Mother, do you think this is okay?" ”

Li Xiaoyue was quite satisfied, and the tip of her nose lingered with the aroma of long beans mixed with meat, "Not bad!" ”

From the kitchen cupboard, take out a small clay pot, open the lid, and scoop out three spoonfuls of spices from it with a wooden spoon.

This is five-spice powder, which is ground into powder with five kinds of condiments, star anise, cumin, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves, according to the approximate ratio of 10:9:6:2:1.

After the braised meat, almost all the remaining ingredients were ground into five-spice powder by Li Xiaoyue.

These three spoonfuls are hundreds of words.

Delicious stuff, really expensive.

Gongsun Lian saw Li Xiaoyue put the crushed spices in it, and asked: "The spices are ground into powder, the ratio is not right, the taste will be very strange, and the spices will be wasted in vain." ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled, "This has been calculated, this ratio of stir-frying vegetables and adjusting fillings tastes very good." I didn't buy much, so I bought five spices, and I gave them a name, five-spice powder, is it good? ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Lian was surprised, and immediately smiled again, "Elegant and simple, five-spice powder, very good." ”

Li Xiaoyue also smiled, Mr. Gongsun is like this, he can speak, and he can also use elegance and simplicity to evaluate.

Li Xiaoyue also put a little sauce in it as soy sauce, and when making steamed buns, after testing, it can indeed improve the freshness.

Dumpling filling, inevitably too.

Li Xiaoyue put the salt and all the seasonings in it, beat two more eggs after the meal, and quickly stirred them in one direction.

Gongsun Lian didn't speak, he just watched from the side.

With the stirring, Gongsun Lian found that the filling was more fragrant.

Li Xiaoyue adjusted the filling, took out the awakened noodles, cut off a piece, quickly made a long strip, rolled it round on the table, and cut it into a small dough.

Sprinkle with flour and press one by one.

Li Xiaoyue took the rolling pin and began to roll the skin, "Cui Hong, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" Wu Cuihong responded, this kind of work, you can understand at a glance, there is no difficulty, she can roll it more round and better than her mother-in-law.

Wu Cuihong's speed was fast, Li Xiaoyue sat down, holding the dumpling skin in one hand and scooping the filling with a spoon in the other.

It only took a breath to take Li Xiaoyue's dexterous hands to wrap the dumplings with a big belly and put them on a clean panel.

"Yikes!" Zhou Xiaohua exclaimed, "Mother, isn't this just a sitting vegetable box?" ”

Li Changle, who was on the side, also washed his hands and came over to help, "The leek box is like a half moon, and this is obviously like an ear." Mother, what do you call this? ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Gongsun Lian, "Mr. Gongsun, why don't you give it a name?" ”

Gongsun Lian thought for a while, and then said, "It's not good now, it's delicious, so I named it." ”

The implication is that it is not delicious, and I am too lazy to choose a name.

Li Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, she confirmed that Gongsun Lian is a foodie, and he is also a tsundere foodie!

"Okay!" Li Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Maybe there will be a good talk left!" ”

The ladies of the family all came to make dumplings, and Gongsun Lian couldn't continue to stay here, so he went outside to wait.

Qin Yuyao also came over to help, and she found that Gongsun Lian was very interested in novel food.

No matter how much it is, Qin Yuyao will not be able to find useful information.

Although the other party did not ask her for a specific time, Qin Yuyao always had a feeling of unsteadyness.

The Li family treats her very well, especially Li Xiaoyue, who treats her not like her own daughter, but gives her enough respect.

The proportions are just right, so that she feels respected at the same time, and does not let her feel burdened.

Qin Yuyao sometimes worries that what she does will put the Li family in danger.

But when I thought of my grandfather who was still suffering in Lingnan, and when I thought of the very mediocre emperor, my wavering heart was firm again.

When there are many people, the speed is fast.

After a while, several panels used to dry vegetables at home were all filled with dumplings.

The water in the cauldron is boiling.

Li Xiaoyue began to make dumplings herself, with ups and downs, and Bai Shengsheng's dumplings floated on the water, tumbling with the boiling water.

Li Xiaoyue took out the dumplings with a fence and brought them out for Mr. Gongsun to taste.

Wu Cuihong and Zhou Xiaohua were responsible for cooking the remaining dumplings and responsible for everyone's dinner.

Gongsun Lian outside was reprimanding Niu Dazhuang, "Such a big person, he can't speak, can't he finish it at one time?" ”

The embarrassment of him shedding his beard was blamed on Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Dazhuang was very innocent, blinking his eyes, "Wronged, military advisor, I wanted to say, but I can't catch up if you run away." Strategist, as soon as you encounter Aunt Li's incident, you panic, and you are no longer the calm and scheming strategist. ”

"Shut up! will talk nonsense! Gongsun Lian pretended to be angry, "If you do it again in the future, I will beat you on the board." ”
