Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

"Ah, what do you mean?"

"Normally, if the two of us were to make rice porridge, one cup of wine of 2.5 liang would be enough for the two of us. I guess you have two bowls of rice, right?"

"My guess was right. You calculated it based on the amount of rice you put in for every bowl you eat! You are really smart!"

Ding Fengqin asked doubtfully, "Isn't it?"

Li Feng picked up a grain of rice that fell on the stove and said, "Look at this grain of rice. What's the difference between it and the cooked rice?"

Ding Fengqin took a look and said, "It doesn't feel any different, it's just a lot harder."

"Haha, put this grain of rice here. When the rice porridge is ready, compare it with the cooked rice."

"I see. You mean the rice will get bigger after it's cooked?"

"Any other tips for cooking rice?"

"Of course. Don't wash the rice too much. Excessive washing will cause the loss of nutrients."

"Before cooking, you can brush some oil on the bottom of the pot. This way, the rice grains will be distinct and crystal clear, and the rice grains will be shiny, which looks very beautiful."

"You can also add a little vinegar when cooking rice, which will make the taste fragrant and protect the vitamins in the rice."

Ding Fengqin stuck out her tongue and said, "I never thought that there is so much knowledge involved in cooking rice!"

"How do you know if the rice is cooked?"

"To cook rice, I suggest you use a clay pot and cook it slowly over low heat. If the heat is too high, it will easily burn the pot. If you can't control the size of the heat, use this rack to prop up the clay pot a little bit, so that the heat will be much smaller."

"The time it takes varies depending on the size of the casserole and the amount of rice in it."

"For a casserole like this, it will boil in about five minutes."

"After the pot boils, keep it on low heat for about four or five minutes. At this time, you will hear crackling sounds in the pot."

"At this time, you should take the casserole off and put it aside. Be careful not to burn your hands. Use something to cushion them. Don't open the lid. Use the residual heat of the casserole to simmer for more than 10 minutes."

“This is the most basic way to cook rice.”

Ding Fengqin nodded and asked, "Is the rice not cooked yet? Why does it need to be simmered for a while?"

"The rice is already cooked. If you open the lid at this time, the steam will quickly escape and the rice will stick to the pot. It will be very sticky, which will not only affect the taste, but also the color and appearance."

"On the contrary, after waiting for ten minutes, the temperature inside the casserole will drop a lot, and the water vapor will be retained in the pot. Not only will the rice taste soft, sticky and sweet, but it will also not stick to the pot."

"Also, you have to be careful. It's OK to cook a small amount of rice in a casserole. If you cook too much rice, it won't be cooked through. It's possible that the outside is cooked but the middle is still raw."

Ding Fengqin swallowed her saliva and said, "When will the rice porridge in the pot be ready?"

Li Feng washed a few salted duck eggs and put them in the pot and said, "You, wait a minute, don't you see that the water in the pot is just getting warm now?"

"You not only put a lot of rice, but also a lot of water! You cooked most of the 12-mark pot!"

Half an hour later, Li Feng prepared a few side dishes, and Ding Fengqin was still staring at his pot.

"Okay, stop looking and find a bowl to serve the porridge!"

Ding Fengqin smelled the fragrance and swallowed her saliva for the umpteenth time before saying, "Honey, what kind of rice is this? It smells so good."

As she spoke, she opened the lid of the pot, and immediately the aroma of the rice porridge became even stronger, and the fragrance soon drifted into the yard.

Lou Xiao'e, who was alone at home, was about to go out to find something to eat. As soon as she walked to the front yard, she was fixed in place by the aroma of rice porridge.

She sniffed and found that the fragrance came from Li Gousheng's house. Her legs unconsciously came to Li Gousheng's door.

By the time she realized what was happening, she had already knocked on the door, which was already open. She looked at Li Gousheng in front of her and laughed dryly twice, saying, "Well, what did you cook at home? It smells so good?"

Li Feng was stunned when he opened the door. He didn't expect it was Lou Xiao'e, he thought it was Qin Huairu!

"What's wrong with the rice porridge I made at home?"

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Her stomach also growled at this time. Li Feng knew what was going on without her saying anything!

"Da Mao isn't home, right? We only have rice porridge at home, if you don't mind, come in and have some with us."

Lou Xiao'e swallowed again and said, "Is this okay?"

Li Feng pretended to think for a moment and said, "It's not very good, then."

When Lou Xiao'e saw it, she immediately said, "Then I won't be polite. Thank you."

At this time, Ding Fengqin brought the porridge to the table and said, "Sister Xiao'e is here, come sit down and eat something together?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at a bowl of crystal clear, fragrant rice porridge with translucent grains and asked, "What kind of rice is this? How come I have never seen it before?"

Li Feng said doubtfully, "That's impossible? Your father is Lou Bancheng, how could you have never eaten this kind of rice?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned and asked, "How did you know?"

"I've known about it for a long time. I guess everyone in the hospital knows about it. Do I need to tell you about your wife's mouth?"

"Humph, I knew it!"

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what kind of rice is this?"

"Xiangshui rice, haven't you heard of it?"

"Ah, this is Xiangshui rice! I heard that this rice was used as a tribute to the palace in the past?"

"Almost. These are salted duck eggs and pickles. Eat them. This rice can stimulate your appetite and refresh your mind."

"After a while, the two girls finished a bowl of rice porridge in one breath and then stopped."

Then, the two girls looked at Li Gousheng embarrassedly, only to find that Li Gousheng crushed the salted duck eggs, put them into the rice porridge, and then took a sip. Immediately, the two girls felt saliva starting to secrete in their mouths again!

Lou Xiao'e also peeled a duck egg. As soon as she broke the skin a little with chopsticks, the oil from the salted duck egg flowed out.

She licked it subconsciously, and immediately opened her eyes wide and said, "This salted duck egg is so delicious, isn't it?"

"Haha, even if it tastes good, don't eat too much. Be careful of the saltiness. If you cough, I won't take care of you."

At the Yan family's home, when the family was preparing to eat, the tempting aroma of rice porridge wafted in, and the house suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Yan Jie said, "What's that smell? It's too overbearing, isn't it?"

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang was snoring on the bed. The snoring suddenly stopped. Then Jia Zhang's nose moved and sniffed several times. She felt as if she was hit by two big bags and sat up on the bed.

When he came to his senses, he shouted, "Qin Huairu, what delicious food did you steal?"

At this time, Jia Dongxu and Banggeng both smelled the smell, and Jia Dongxu said, "Mom, the smell is coming from outside, it's not our smell."

("I've had a cold these past two days, and it's so uncomfortable! My throat hurts, my stomach hurts, and I have diarrhea. When I wrote about the diarrhea in Chen Ergou's family, I wrote about the diarrhea because I had a stomachache. But I didn't pull my pants pocket, so don't think too much.

Also, the author is typing on a cell phone, which is really uncomfortable and slow! I have a cold now, and shaking the cell phone makes me feel sick and want to vomit. It's really hard to make money, but it's hard to eat shit! ")
