Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

The baby was washed, put on the quilt again, wrapped in a big quilt and quilt, and handed over to Zhou Qinglan.

Strange to say, the little baby was still crying in frustration, but as soon as he returned to his mother's arms, he immediately stopped crying and only turned his head and opened his little mouth, looking for milk.

After the washing ceremony was over, everyone came out of the west room and allowed Zhou Qinglan to feed the baby in peace.

"Brothers and sisters, you guys sit down while I go to the kitchen to pack some things. Let's have noodles for lunch today."

On this day, there is no big banquet, but noodles.

Zhang Shuzhen has prepared noodles at home, which are simpler and easier to make than hand-rolled noodles.

Nowadays, dried noodles are a rare thing, and they are not willing to eat them on ordinary days. Zhang Shuzhen spent a lot of effort to get them back, just to keep her daughter-in-law to eat during the confinement period.

Cooking noodles is easy, but the toppings require some effort.

It happened that there was meat at home that Sheng Xiping had just picked up. Zhang Shuzhen had just instructed Sheng Yunfang and her sisters to cut the pork belly into pieces. She planned to stew braised pork and eat it with noodles.

"Mom, if you want to do anything, just say something and I'll do it. Just sit in the room."

On the other end, Zhao Juan stood up quickly and followed Zhang Shuzhen out.

This girl is very capable at home, and it's the same when she comes to the Chen family. She doesn't miss anything at home or outside the house.

"Yes, Auntie, tell us what you want to do and we will do it." Li Xue and Tang Fengying stood up and said.

"Oh, no, no, no, you all just sit and chat. It'll be fine in a while."

Where can Zhang Shuzhen let her guests cook? He quickly waved his hand and signaled Zhao Juan and the others to just stay in the room.

In the kitchen, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei had already cut a pot of meat and boiled eggs according to their mother's request.

"You two, take out the eggs and use them later."

Zhang Shuzhen ordered her daughter to work, while she added some firewood to the bottom of the east pot, then cleaned the pot and scooped out the water.

Zhang Shuzhen dug out a small piece of lard from the large oil jar, put it into the pot, and used a shovel to push the white lard around the bottom of the pot. After a while, the lard melted.

When there is a sizzling sound in the pot, scoop out two spoons of sugar and pour it into the pot.

Logically speaking, it would be better to use rock sugar, but rock sugar is not easy to buy. Forest farm stores only occasionally have it. This little white sugar was bought after saving sugar coupons for a long time.

The fire under the stove had just started and was not very strong. Zhang Shuzhen used this small fire to slowly stir-fry the sugar color.

When the sugar in the pot melted, small bubbles began to form at the bottom of the pot, and the color of the syrup began to turn red, Zhang Shuzhen poured the chopped pork pieces into the pot and stir-fried them quickly.

At this time, the fire at the bottom of the pot was getting hotter, and the meat was heard sizzling in the pot, and the top of the meat began to change color.

After frying until each piece of meat was covered with sugar color, Zhang Shuzhen poured some soy sauce, white wine, and vinegar into the pot.

This wild boar meat is not domestic pig at all. It has a strong fishy smell and requires more seasoning to make it taste better.

After adding the seasoning and stir-frying for a few times, pour two ladles of water into the pot so that the water covers the meat.

Put some dry firewood at the bottom of the pot, bring the soup in the pot to a boil over high heat, and then add onion slices, garlic slices, and ginger slices. ,

Everyone's way of cooking this braised pork is different. Most Northeasterners are heavy-mouthed and seasoned very harshly.

When southerners stew braised pork, they generally don’t add so many messy seasonings.

"You two look at the pot. When you try to break the meat with a light poke with a spatula later, pour these eggs in."

Zhang Shuzhen scored the skin of the peeled eggs twice, and then told the two girls.

"I have to go into the house to talk to the guests. You two should be smart and watch the pot so as not to dry up the soup in the pot."

"Hey, I got it, Mom." The two girls responded.

Zhang Shuzhen left her two daughters in the kitchen to watch the pots. She went into the house to talk to Qin Qiuyan and others, and after a while, she came out to take a look.

What is stewed in the pot is the meat of Xiao Huangmaozi, which is relatively tender. In about an hour, the meat will be stewed until it is soft and delicious.

The two girls tried it and found it ok, so they poured the eggs in the basin into the pot.

Zhang Shuzhen felt that it was almost time, so she came out to take a look, scooped some soup with a shovel and tasted it. She felt that the taste was a little bland, so she added some salt to it.

When frying the sugar, the caramelized sugar will taste a little bitter, so you need to use a little sugar to adjust the taste so that it tastes delicious.

The meat in the pot was stewed and turned reddish brown, shivering and shiny. The eggs were simmered in the soup for a while and were coated with a reddish brown skin.

Just like this, the fire slowly simmered, the thick soup kept bubbling, and the aroma of braised pork filled the room.

When the eggs are cooked and the soup is cooked to a certain extent, it is ready to be served.

An enamel basin was placed on the pot stand. Zhang Shuzhen held a rice spoon in her hand and poured meat and eggs out of the pot one ladle at a time.

The meat is stewed at just the right temperature, and when it falls into the basin, it bounces twice and trembles. It's particularly tempting to look at it here.

The two girls, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, looked at the meat in the basin and couldn't help but swallowed. This was really too greedy.

Fortunately, Sheng Xitai took Chen Feng out to play after breakfast and was not at home. If he were at home, the custodian would be shouting for food.

The meat, eggs, and soup were all put into a small basin, two ladles of water were poured into the pot, and the pot was cleaned.

Then add water, add dry firewood to the bottom of the pot, wait for the water to boil and add noodles.

If there were no outsiders, Zhang Shuzhen would definitely not even wash the pot, but just add water to cook the noodles. There was still a lot of stew soup on the pot, so it would be a pity to wash it off and throw it away.

But today is the third day of the child’s bath. With so many guests, how can we cook noodles without washing the pot? That would be too rude.

Cooking noodles is much simpler. Boil the water in the pot, put the noodles in, use chopsticks to stir them up so they don't stick together, and just boil the water until soft.

When cooking noodles, we generally pay attention to using a wider soup and adding more water in the pot to prevent the noodles from becoming sticky and unpalatable.

After the noodles are cooked, put them into two enamel basins. After washing the three noodles, they are ready.

Just in time, the two brothers Sheng Xiping finally finished taking care of the two pigs and the roe deer. Sheng Xitai estimated that it was almost time and led Chen Feng back.

So we set up tables on the north and south Kangs in the east room, put on the bowls and chopsticks, brought the noodles and toppings into the room, and invited everyone to eat.

"Well, we have lunch today. According to the old rules, let's eat noodles. It's a little simpler, so you guys can make do with it.

When the baby is one month old, we will definitely set up a few big banquet tables so that we can have a good time. "

Zhang Shuzhen said with a smile when she came into the room with the toppings of braised pork and braised eggs.

"Oh my God, this is a bit simple, isn't it? Who can eat as well as yours?

There are eggs in the braised pork. How delicious is this bowl of noodles? "

Xu Xiuxiang, Chen Xiuzhi and others couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw it.

"It would be pretty good if you make some meat sauce, egg sauce or something like that, why bother with it?

How about saving the meat for your daughter-in-law to make some dumplings and the eggs for her to eat? "
