Governor of the Metropolitan Water Kitchen Section 97
Zheng Wan also stood outside and listened to the movement in the wok, and after feeling that the sound gradually became smaller, he took a shovel close to the stove and kept stir-frying the diced tomatoes in the wok.
Under the gradual attack of the high temperature, the tomatoes gradually began to soften, and bright red juice began to appear at the bottom of the wok, thinking that the air emitted its own sour smell.
Even though the kitchen is hot at this time, the smell of sourness makes the heat of the body disappear in an instant, and it also awakens the sleeping stomach and reveals its existence to the world.
While lighting the fire, Zhao Qingyou paid attention to the situation in the wok, and was a little surprised to see all the tomatoes softening and rotting in the wok.
Just when she wanted to continue to observe, Zheng Wan on the side reminded: "Sister, be careful, you have to add loofahs." β
After that, pour the loofah into the wok.
When the loofah fell on the tomato, there was a lot of splashed soup, which made Zhao Qingyou, who had retreated to the side, couldn't help frowning.
Zheng Wan looked at the loofah that had been dyed red with tomato juice on one side of the wok, with a satisfied smile on her face, and simply tossed a few times, infecting the bright red juice on the loofah, until the edge of the loofah looked a little transparent, and then she poured the water into the wok.
When the water rushed in, it instantly stirred up bursts of white steam, accompanied by a sizzling sound, and a rich sour fragrance permeated the kitchen.
And through the doors and windows, he reveals his presence to the outside world.
When the Zhao family, who had been busy all morning, walked thirty feet away from home, they saw curling smoke rising from the kitchen at home.
The sharp-eyed Zhao Qi and Zhao Yun saw the smoke rising from the house at a glance, and shouted excitedly: "The eldest sister is back!" β
Then he ran excitedly in the direction of home, if outsiders knew, he would definitely not be able to see that the two of them were just on the way back, and they were still saying that they had used up all their strength.
didn't even urge, didn't even want to move, and now it seems that Zhao Qingyou went home, which made the two even more excited.
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother glanced at each other, and shook their heads helplessly at the appearance of the two.
Zhao Qi and Zhao Yun, who ran away excitedly, shouted excitedly before they reached the door of the house: "Sister! Sister, you're back! β
In the kitchen, Zhao Qingyou heard this sentence and tore the sound of his throat, and instantly looked at Zheng Wan, who was puzzled, and explained:
"This is the fifth brother and the younger sister of the two people in the family, the two of them have a good temperament, if there is anything offended, the lady must not be polite."
As soon as Zheng Wan wanted to say something, the kitchen door was pushed open by the two of them excitedly.
Zhao Qi was still a little angry and said, "Sister, why don't you speak?" Qi'er has been shouting at you for a long time. β
Zhao Yun on the side saw the stranger in the kitchen at a glance-Zheng Wan, looked at each other with straight eyes, and muttered, "Fairy sister." β
"What did you say? Younger sister. β
Zhao Qi listened to Zhao Yun's words suspiciously, then followed her eyes, and suddenly found Zheng Wan standing at the water tank, opened his mouth in amazement, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" β
Zheng Wan didn't expect that the two of them would be like this when they saw their first face, and showed a very friendly smile and explained:
"It's a companion who works with your sister in the Shangshi Bureau."
Hearing this, a name immediately appeared in Zhao Qi and Zhao Yun's minds, and the two glanced at each other tacitly and shouted, "Zheng Niangzi!" β
The voices of the two people almost toppled the roof of the kitchen, so in an instant, the rest of the Zhao family knew the news that Zheng Niangzi was in the kitchen.
Zhao Qingmiao didn't care about the wheat on his shoulder, and after hurriedly putting it down, he hurriedly ran towards the location of the kitchen.
Ignoring the strange eyes of others, he directly picked up Zhao Yun who was blocking him, raised his eyes and looked into the kitchen.
discovered Zheng Wan's existence at a glance, and shouted excitedly: "Lady! What are you doing here? β
After the excitement, my heart began to feel anxious again, and I explained in a panic: "Lady, I didn't deliberately stay and didn't go back to work, but the wheat harvesting work was heavy, and I wanted to help the family ...... first."
Zhao's mother, who followed closely, didn't know what was going on, so she heard her daughter's panicked explanation.
Thinking of Zheng Wan's help to his family, he also began to worry, and explained together: "Sanniang works at home because we ......"
Zheng Wan looked at the panicked appearance of the two, first confused, and then after understanding what the two meant, he said with a smile:
"Sanniang and the eldest lady don't have to be nervous now, they have just come back from the Shangshi Bureau, just in time for the Dragon Boat Festival, thinking that they said last time that they would definitely come to the house with Zhao Niangzi when they have the opportunity. I just came here when I had this opportunity, but I didn't come to urge Qingmiao to go back.
Moreover, Qingmiao is such a loyal and strong woman, except for her, I don't know where to find such a good helper. β
After the two of them heard the reason clearly, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Zhao Qingmiao, I am afraid that my work will be delayed because I go home to do farm work, so their family's life will definitely be worse in the future.
treats Zheng Wan like a life-saving benefactor. Hurriedly put down Zhao Yun in his arms, stepped forward quickly, and asked, "Is there anything that needs to be done now?" β
"No, let's have dinner. Fang Cai'er and Sister Fang have already made today's lunch, and they can eat it now. β
At this time, everyone put their eyes on Zhao Qingyou in front of the stove, and at the same time smelled the faint sour aroma in the air.
The Zhao family is very familiar with this taste, and it is the tomato they often eat raw on weekdays.
But at this time, the sour smell in the air was stronger than when they ate tomatoes directly, and when they smelled this sour smell, their appetite couldn't help but open.
Originally, he got up from the wheat field tiredly, and he didn't have much appetite all the way, but the moment he smelled this sour smell, his whole appetite was instantly opened, and the saliva kept pouring out of his mouth, as if it was about to flow out uncontrollably.
"Shhh
Zhao Qi wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth greedily, and said happily: "It's so fragrant!" β
This sound instantly woke up the people who were immersed in the deliciousness.
Thinking of the stunned appearance just now, everyone couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and instantly scattered and fled.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Qi scratched his head in confusion and said suspiciously: "Aren't you going to eat?" Why are you still leaving? β
Then he looked at Zheng Wan with glowing eyes, and asked expectantly: "Sister Zheng, can you have dinner?" β
"You can, you can help take out this stack of soft cakes."
"Good!"
There is also a stupid Zhao Yun who stood in place, but Zheng Wan arranged the task of taking away the lo-mei platter.
When she looked at the different shapes and red viscera on the plate, she didn't recognize it at all.
Because her mind was completely filled with the rich aroma of the lo-mei on the plate, compared to the faint sour aroma of the tomato loofah soup just now, the fragrance of this plate of lo-mei can be said to have thrown a fragrance bomb into the body.
In an instant, the desire of the whole body was mobilized, and the breath was full of halogen, and he was unwilling to take his eyes and steps away at all.
I can't wait to grab a piece from the plate and stuff it into my mouth right now to comfort my restless body.
So, Zhao Qingyou watched her little sister stand in place holding the plate, even after she poured all the soup in the wok into the bowl, she still maintained the action just now.
She approached Zhao Yun's position with tomato and loofah soup, and reminded loudly: "Hurry up and go out with things." β
"Sister, it's really fragrantβ"
After that, he closed his eyes and raised his chin, inhaling all the aromatic aroma in the air into his body to comfort his restless stomach.
Zhao Qingyou only felt funny when he looked at this scene, "If you continue to hold it here, then you won't be able to eat it for the rest of your life, so hurry up and serve it to the table." β
This sound made Zhao Yun immediately sober up, and he didn't wait for Zhao Qingyou at all, and walked to the courtyard with his legs.
In the summer, the Zhao family is used to eating under their own jujube trees, and today is no exception.
When Zhao Yun put a plate of lo-mei in his hand on the table, everyone was attracted by the strange shape and charming fragrance of the food.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a guest like Zheng Wan today, maybe everyone's head would be leaning on the sky above the lo-mei platter.
Zhao Qingyou looked at the picture of everyone staring at the lo-mei, and he didn't feel strange at all, after all, he had seen the guards and fish masters of the capital water prison in the world, and he saw the same scene when he saw the food made by Zheng Wan.
It's just that she looked at the people who were in a hurry to eat and reminded: "I haven't brought the bean rice prepared by A-Niang today." β
"Yes, yes, and bean rice."
Zhao Qingmiao also noticed the movement here at this time, remembered his hurried appearance just now, and hurriedly walked towards the location of the kitchen.
saw Zheng Wan serving the bean rice inside, hurriedly stepped forward, took the shovel in Zheng Wan's hand, and said:
"Let's come here, just go and wait outside."
After that, he quickly put out the bean rice stewed from the messy grains in the wok, and because there was not much water, he quickly put out all the bean rice.
Zheng Wan took the lo-mei platter on the side and walked to the courtyard together.
When everyone saw Zheng Wan approaching, they couldn't help but stand up and say hello.
This made Zheng Wan anxious, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down, "Sit down, just treat me as a companion who came to the Zhao family's sister's house to have fun, and the two elders don't bother to be down." β
"That's... Okay, let's all sit down and eat. β
When Father Zhao saw Zheng Wan behaving like this, he also understood that the other party wanted to stay more comfortable, so he hurriedly responded, and frequently glanced at other people in the family.
When all the food was placed on the table, everyone looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but have their eyes shining.
The aroma of lo-mei is too strong, and the tomato loofah soup has an appetizing effect, everyone is hungry at this time, and they can't help but drool when they look at the hearty dishes that are rare on the table.
As the person in charge of money in the family, Zhao's mother could see at a glance that the lo-mei platter on the table was brought by Zheng Wan, as long as it was meat, it was not cheap.
A little distressed, he said: "The next time Mrs. Zheng comes to the house as a guest, don't bring these meats, the price is too expensive." β
"Don't worry, big lady, these are the internal organs of dolphins, they are worthless, and when they buy bones, the owner of the meat stall gives them as an addition."
"Porpoise offal?"
Chapter 65: Salted Egg Yolk Meat Dumplings
Although the aroma of the lo-mei platter in front of them was very strong, tempting everyone's hearts, but when they heard that these things were internal organs, the Zhao family couldn't help but change their faces.
Zhao Qingyou knew at a glance that everyone had misunderstood, and was worried that he would misunderstand Zheng Wan's intentions, so he hurriedly explained:
"Although it is offal, which everyone doesn't like to eat, but after Zheng Niangzi cooks it with her own braised soup, the taste is not the same. A lot of expensive herbs are added to the soup, so that these internal organs can be boiled so fragrant, didn't everyone smell it just now? There was no smell at all. β
Zhao Qingmiao, who had eaten braised pork before, also nodded heavily and explained: "The previous braised pork head meat was also delicious. β
When the others heard this, they immediately put down their hanging hearts, after all, the lo-mei in front of them was really fragrant, except for the fact that it was made of internal organs, which was worthy of criticism, there was nothing else that was not satisfactory.
Zheng Wan also knew the mind of pork meat and offal in this era, and didn't feel anything about the surprise of the Zhao family.
After seeing that everyone's minds were calm, he said, "Let's try it, let's try the difference between the different parts of this braised offal, and see what you like to eat." β
Zhao Qi, who had no concept of internal organs, was stunned as early as he smelled the smell.
If it must be Zheng Wan, he is not willing to restrain his inner impulse at all, anyway, he has eaten this meal of marinated offal today, and he guesses that others are too, since this is the case, why are you still procrastinating here, can't you eat early?
The second he saw Aya's chopsticks touching the lo-mei, he immediately stretched out his chopsticks and stretched out towards the braised pig heart closest to him.
Because the heart had been cut into evenly sized slices, he didn't recognize what was sticking into his mouth, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the meal.
When the marinade wrapped in the surface of the braised pig's heart slides down the chopsticks and falls on the tip of the tongue, a rich marinated fragrance instantly explodes on the tip of the tongue.
