Agriculture Idol

Chapter 34

Li Chengxin was very satisfied with harvesting a bunch of ingredients that he didn't usually buy. He tidied up the ingredients, added some dishes that he had stored in his small warehouse earlier, and made a few auspicious dishes. They all sent messages about dinner tonight.

Auspicious dishes are those delicacies with symbolic meaning. These dishes will bring people full of blessings while satisfying their appetite.

The most common time to eat auspicious dishes is the Spring Festival. Usually, the fish eaten during the Spring Festival represents "surplus every year", which symbolizes a good harvest, abundance, and surplus in the new year; dumplings are used in Jiaozi, which is money used in ancient times. It means prosperity, and the more you eat during the Chinese New Year, the better; the rice cake symbolizes "higher every year", which can mean that children grow taller, or that the career will rise; duck meat symbolizes wealth and health, and the New Year's Eve dinner together with chicken means career off to a good start.In addition, the glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival symbolize "reunion, harmony and beauty", and the noodles on birthdays have the meaning of longevity...

So Li Chengxin planned to show off some auspicious and delicious dishes when the house was completed and newcomers joined.

Li Chengxin's semi-open-air kitchenette has been expanded a lot with the stove as the center, and a cooking table and sink have been added.Li Chengxin also plans to build a firewood room that can store branches and wood pieces separately before the weather turns cold, and also tile the earthen stove, cooking table and sink.

The vegetable cutting board on the cooking table is made of the piece of wood that was sawn from the floor at that time, but it has been re-polished by Brother Xiaoyong, with rounded edges and a smooth surface.

While Li Chengxin was cooking, Brother Xiaoyong and Lin Yiyi had already arrived.

Lin Yiyi had communicated with Zhou Hao a few times before, and both parties felt good. At this time, she introduced Zhou Hao to Brother Xiaoyong.

The two men are both well-developed limbs and simple-minded. When they met for the first time, they talked about muscle training with some regret.

Seeing that everyone was here, Li Chengxin called them to the warehouse to take out the folding tables and chairs and put them on the rocky beach next to the boat house.

Brother Xiaoyong and Zhou Hao even turned on the live broadcast equipment again, pretentiously claiming to record the first dinner together, introduce their new work partners by the way, and happily interact with the netizens in the live broadcast room.

Then several people went to their fan groups and Weibo to announce the impromptu live broadcast event.

When their fans rushed into the live broadcast room with "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ", Li Chengxin was serving the first plate, which was a nut plate for chatting before meals.There are melon seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, chestnuts, peanuts, dried longans, pistachios and other dried fruits.

Li Chengxin said while laying out the plates: "Today we eat auspicious dishes, so each dish has a famous name, and we must say auspicious words that are homophonic when serving the table. There are more things in this nut plate. Let each of you choose one for yourself!"

Brother Xiaoyong picked up a pistachio, bounced it high, and said before catching the pistachio with his mouth: "You always laugh!"

This trick of throwing nuts made the live broadcast room applaud. At the same time, Brother Xiaoyong seriously warned those who want to imitate him in the live broadcast room to pay attention to safety and do what they can.

Lin Yiyi picked out a hazelnut and said, "Work hard."

Obviously, Zhou Hao, a city dweller, had never played this game before, so his reaction was relatively slow.He took it casually, touched a longan, and said in a very self-doubting tone: "Early... have a precious son?"

Then Lin Yiyi slapped the longan off his hand: "This one is wrong, let's have another one."

So Zhou Hao raised a chestnut, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Work hard, work hard on fitness, work hard on moving bricks, work hard on live broadcasts, and work hard on video editing."

"It's more or less the same." Lin Yi pouted.

After the nut plate was finished, a few people started eating melon seeds, chatting and waiting for the next dish.

The next dish that Li Chengxin planned was Jiuzhai salamander snails. At that time, the salamander snails sent by Uncle Lu had already spit out the sand in the water, so he could start cooking directly.

Put a tablespoon of oil in the pan, add chopped green onion, minced garlic, and crushed chili until fragrant.Put the snails directly into the pot, pour in the rice wine, cover the pot and let it simmer for 10 minutes.Finally, add a little light soy sauce to taste, pour a small spoonful of milk, and a few drops of vinegar.

It's a very simple dish, and it uses a very simple cooking method, but the fresh salamander snails are indispensable.

"The name of the salamander snail is quite auspicious, basically it means prosperity and wealth. I also hope that our live broadcast can bring more prosperity to the village, and bring more happiness to the netizens in the live broadcast room, so that everyone can taste more Farm dishes, seafood and seafood."

"Well said!" The three people sitting at the dining table applauded one after another, and then began to compete for a small number of salamander snails.

Li Chengxin protected the last salamander snail, jumped out of the snail meat with chopsticks and ate it in one bite. The snail meat was smooth and tender, with a delicious taste.

Then, he started to work on the next dish, grilled octopus.

Li Chengxin had previously removed the internal organs of the hairtail, cleaned it, and cut it into evenly sized pieces.Then add salt, white pepper, barbecue sauce, shredded ginger, and a quarter of a shredded onion to the hairtail, mix well, and marinate for an afternoon.At this time, Li Chengxin shred the remaining onions and ginger, and chopped the chives and coriander.Spread onions and ginger shreds on the bottom of the pot, brush with a layer of oil, sprinkle with a layer of chopped chives and coriander, and finally sprinkle a spoonful of cumin powder, evenly place the marinated hairtail fish, and pour the remaining marinated fish juice on top. On top, finally sprinkle a layer of chopped chives and coriander, heat the pot, and start dry-cooking. During this period, the lid is removed and the hairtail is basted with oil several times.

When the hairtail was out of the pot, even the melon rinds begged Li Chengxin for food.

Li Chengxin touched the head of the melon skin and gave it the unmarinated hairtail head.

"The meaning of hairtail is also good. It lasts for a hundred generations, from small to big. It goes on for a hundred generations. First, I hope that single dogs in the village can find a partner..."

The five single dogs (including Guapi) beside the table were all shocked.

"...The second is to hope that the world will be peaceful and the environment will be better, so that human beings can last for hundreds of generations..."

When he said this, Li Chengxin was thinking of his parents and Yingying.

"...From small to large, we hope that our work of helping farmers can start from the subtleties, step by step, and be down-to-earth."

【嘿咕咱, I'm so touched, I love my son-in-law so much】

[Zi Cheng is a little angel! 】

[Compared to Qizi's aura of humanity, Brother Xiaoyong and Haozi are two gorillas who can only grab food! 】

The next item is the staple food leek box.

Scald the flour with boiling water and knead it into a smooth dough. Cover with a hot towel and let the dough rise for half an hour.

Wash the leeks, spread them out to dry, and chop them finely.Add corn oil and mix gently. Be sure to do it gently when stirring, otherwise the leeks will be easily broken. Let the oil cover each piece of leek, so that the leeks can completely protect the juice and nutrients inside, so that they will not be lost.Add thirteen spices, salt, monosodium glutamate, add an appropriate amount of shrimp skin, then add fried and chopped eggs in advance, and mix well.

Take out the dough and knead it by hand again for a while, knead it until smooth, knead it into long strips, and cut it into small doses of uniform size.

Take a small dose and roll it into a round cake, put in the leek and egg filling, close and align the two sides, pinch it firmly, and pinch out the lace.

Heat a pan, add a small amount of oil, heat until the oil is hot, and arrange the leek boxes neatly.

Cover the pot and roast on a low heat. You need to open the pot and look over it from time to time. After the bottom has changed color, turn it over and continue to bake it. Turn it over and bake it after a while. Basically turn it back and forth twice. When both sides are colored, it’s ready. It's out.

The scent of leeks wafted around the boat house, causing several people to stop chatting and stretch their necks to wait for Li Chengxin to serve the food.

【Zicheng finally made a leek box! 】

[The last time I ate and broadcast leeks, I didn’t make it, and I even bet with my roommate on a marinated egg QAQ]

【I obviously finished my meal, why am I still drooling? 】

"Leek box!" Li Chengxin brought a pot of leek box to the table together with the pot. "Leeks will last for a long time. I hope we can support each other, and hope that our live broadcast of helping farmers can continue for a long time."

"It's so delicious!" Brother Xiaoyong choked out a compliment while stuffing a leek box into his mouth.

"It's so delicious!" Zhou Hao branded the repeater.

"You two gorillas, save some for me!" Lin Yiyi grabbed a leek box.

The last dish is dessert, candied lotus root.

Soak the glutinous rice the next night for later use. Wash the thicker and straighter lotus root and peel off the outer skin. Cut the lotus root about 1 cm from one end of the lotus root. Fill the hole with the glutinous rice that has been soaked in advance, and insert a few roots Use a toothpick to fix the end of the lotus root joint you just cut back.

Put the sealed lotus root into a deep pot, add brown sugar, pour in an appropriate amount of water to cover the lotus root, cover the pot, boil on high heat, turn to medium heat and cook for about an hour, then add rock sugar and continue to cook for another hour.

Take out the boiled lotus root and slice, sprinkle with some sweet-scented osmanthus sugar.

Sweet food is not common here in Hongming Village. It is probably the food that Yingying from the south prefers to eat.

But as a woman, Lin Yiyi obviously liked it too.In addition, Zhou Hao, a financially free person who lives in the city for a long time, seems to like it, but because of his muscular figure, he can't eat too much sweets.

Brother Xiaoyong twisted a piece of candied lotus root and threw it into his mouth, then suddenly remembered: "Xin Wa'er, I haven't said auspicious words about this dessert yet!"

Sitting on the seat reserved for him, Li Chengxin ate the food left for him by everyone, and suddenly remembered the mistakes he made when installing the floor on the second floor of the boat house, and said: "Even if you are not tactful, even if you are clumsy, you should be straightforward. alive."

"Hey! What does this have to do with lotus root!" Zhou Hao didn't understand what Li Chengxin meant.

So he was beaten on the head by Lin Yiyi, and brother Xiaoyong was also taken along with him.

"Are you two chimpanzees really stupid! The hole in the lotus root represents straightforwardness!"

Sitting facing the sea, Li Chengxin saw his favorite scene in front of him.The light of the setting sun penetrated the clouds and shone down, turning the sea surface into gold.The rugged coastline of Hongming Village draws undulating curves against the backdrop of the sky.The sea water rolled the stones on the rocky beach, making a pleasant wave sound.The smoke from the earthen stove mixed with water vapor adds a haze to the scene, with the familiar aroma of burning wood.There are partners playing around, without any scruples.
