Chapter 491: The tofu dregs smell bad

After Su Ziling finished eating the steamed buns, she strolled back to the kitchen and started preparing lunch.

Since we mentioned inviting people to dinner, we have to prepare it in advance. If there are many people, we should cook more food. If we prepare it late, we are afraid that it will be embarrassing when the meal is not cooked yet.

For staple food, she plans to steam some peas and brown rice, and add some cornmeal bread. For vegetables, she can stew the bamboo rat that Su Zizhong caught the day before yesterday. She also bought big bones and can make radish bone soup.

If you haven’t finished the fried tofu earlier, you can cut it into slices and eat it cold.

Then cut some lean meat and stir-fry it with pickled vegetables. Stir-fried meat with pickled vegetables is the best to go with rice, it is sour and spicy.

There are also pickled vegetables at home, which can be mixed with broad bean pods, and the fried sour mustard seeds can also be steamed directly in the pot. In this way, five vegetables and one soup seem to be enough.

If you don’t have enough pickles to make yourself, you can also take them out and eat them.

Su Ziling lit the fire in the stove while thinking in her mind.

"By the way, Xiaoqing, is the piece of tofu you're covering up broken? I went into the house this morning and there was a stench in the house that was almost as strong as your father's stinky feet."

Su's mother's voice suddenly came from the yard, interrupting Su Ziling's thoughts.

"Stink? It shouldn't be," she muttered, "Mom, do you still remember the day I covered it?"

"It's been three days, no, it's been three days and one night."

"Three days!!!" Su Ziling washed the pot and poured two ladles of water into the pot. She didn't even have time to scoop out the rice and ran to look at the bean dregs.

As he walked out, he murmured, "I remember I just covered it. How come it's been three days? It's over. Is it really damaged by the covering?"

Seeing her like this, Su's mother couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up, shook the water on her hand, and followed her.

"How many days did you originally plan to cover it up?"

"Three days, the weather here is about the same in three days." Su Ziling frowned, and while replying to her, she removed the grass covering the basket.

"It shouldn't be broken. It only takes one more night to cover it..." That's all.

Just now I felt nothing when I was covered with grass, but there was a vague smell in the air. Now when all the straws were removed, the smell inside rushed up.

After smelling this, Su's mother was silent, and she didn't say the last two words.

"Okay...it seems to be really broken and a bit smelly."

She pinched her nose and said angrily.

Su Ziling opened the sack and the cloth bag inside.

After opening the bag, the smell became stronger. Su Ziling used chopsticks to pick out a little bit. Looking at the golden color, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not broken, but I have to make the bean paste today. I'll prepare the condiments after dinner." It’s ready to be pounded.”

As she spoke, she tightened the bag's opening.

"It stinks, but it's not bad yet?" Su's mother had never made this kind of pickles. She smelled the faint odor in the air, and her face was full of confusion.

"It's not broken, it's just fermented normally. But thank you for reminding me, grandma, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered. If I cover it until night, it will be too smelly."

The bean paste was not broken, and Su Ziling's mood became much brighter.

Mother Su: "As long as it's not broken, what do you need to prepare? I'll help you get it done."

Su Ziling thought for a while and said: "Wash some kohlrabi roots for me. Wash more. I will also use them for marinating the pork ribs and bream in the afternoon, as well as the radish tassels."

"So much?" Su's mother looked at the leftovers that Su's father and the others had dug out and pickled a few days ago. "Isn't this enough? Your rice is not yet cooked. I'll go dig some in the mountains."

As she said that, she went to get the hoe and basket, "Mom, do you know where it is? You can go after dinner. I'm afraid you won't be able to catch lunch."

Mother Su said while putting on her hat, "Your father told me the approximate location. I should be able to find it. When the rice is ready, you can put it out for your uncles and let them eat first without waiting for me."

"I'm not hungry even after eating in the morning. I'll dig it out and marinate it early. It will be a good time for the Chinese New Year. When your father comes back, let him hang up those two hams. They have been pressed for several days and the moisture is almost the same. ”

"Hey, okay, then you can dig back as soon as you want. You don't have to dig too much." Su Ziling nodded in agreement.

Su's mother went out with a basket on her back and a hoe, while Su Ziling continued to go back to the house to cook.

The water in the pot was not yet boiling, so she scooped out a few bowls of rice, washed them and soaked them. Thinking that she would steam peas and rice later, she took a bowl and headed towards the yard carrying the peas in the basket.

"Grandma, peel some peas for me first. I want to cook some pea rice."

"Okay, bring it over." She wiped the water on her hands, and the two of them chatted while peeling, "How many dishes have you prepared?"

"Five dishes and one soup, including stir-fried meat with pickled vegetables, stewed the bamboo rat, and radish bone soup. The radish in the past two days is relatively sweet, so add some salt, some minced ginger and a few chopped green onions. Very delicious.”

Su A'nai nodded, "Isn't the tofu sausage edible? You can cut it into a bowl. It can be boiled or fried."

"Okay, I'll cut off a section and fry it in oil. The dryness is the best now. It will taste different after a few days when it is completely dry."

Su Ziling peeled off a few, then got up and went back to the kitchen to check the fire. When she saw that the water was not boiling, she came out and continued peeling.

"Sister, we are back, let's see what good things I got!"

Before anyone entered the yard, Su Zimu's voice came from outside the gate.

Su A'nai looked up at Su Ziling, shook her head slightly and laughed, "This child, when he came back yesterday, looked so polite, I thought to myself, how could his personality have changed after studying in school? It's unbelievable. I think too much, and I’m still babbling like this.”

Su Ziling obviously thought of the time when he was in the academy, "Grandma, you didn't see what he looked like in the academy, but he is calm and serious. I am worried that he has been wronged in some way. He has changed so much." big."

"Sister, sister, look at this! I just met Uncle Yonghe, and he said this is edible!"

Su Zimu was carrying a basket of pig grass on his back, and Axiu followed behind him, carrying her small basket on her back, which contained some very tender rabbit grass and yellow cabbage leaves.

Su Zimu stabilized his backpack and came over with a bamboo tube, with a smile on his face, "Sister, look!"

Seeing how excited he was, Su A'nai stretched out her neck and said, "Let me take a look." Then she lowered her head and took a look into the bamboo tube. "Hey, what is this thing makes my bones feel numb!"

With just one glance, she looked away.

Su Ziling was not curious at first, but seeing Su Ah Nai's appearance, she couldn't help but take a look. She saw that the bamboo tube was crawling with dense white insects. At a glance, Su Ziling also had goosebumps. (The bamboo insect picture, um... a bit scary, please be careful)

"Huh? Bamboo insect?"

"Sister, you know?" Su Zimu's eyes lit up, "Uncle Yonghe said this is delicious. If there is oil, it will taste better if fried."

Su Ziling did not take the bamboo tube, "Fry it until it becomes crispy. Sprinkle some salt and it will be delicious. You pour it out, wash it, and then drain the water. I will fry it for you later."

"Hey, done!" He happily went to the kitchen and took out a basin and dishpan, then squatted by the well to wash.
