Imperial Exam Daily

Yang Ye just did it in front of Axi, and then Axi got started. The two cooperated, and at night, several poles of bean curd sticks were hung in the yard. Three catties of beans can make about one and a half catties of finished products. It's not bad.

The soy milk in the pot bottomed out, Yang Ye let Axi continue to make it by himself, and went to the small courtyard by himself.

The yards of most farmers are well-kept, but when someone enters the door, the first thing they see is the yard. It is a small facade of a family. The quality of the yard is very good, which can reflect the female brother of this family. Whether the son is virtuous and capable.

With Axi around, their small courtyard is not bad, they grow vegetables, melons and fruits, and the two rows of peppers are growing very well, with green and red intersecting, Yang Ye has noticed it a long time ago.

He picked a handful of chili peppers and went into the house to wash and chop them up. He chopped some onion, ginger, and garlic. He cut the prepared yuba and mixed it in a bowl. He beat two eggs to make yuba egg soup. Axi made all the soy milk. After that, dinner is ready.

Yuba does not have a strong aroma like boiled fish, but it tastes delicate and delicious, especially with the addition of chili.

"Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Yang Ye asked the young man to move the chopsticks first, and Ah Xi lowered his eyelashes slightly, moved his hands, first put a piece into Yang Ye's bowl, and then took a sip by himself.

When it enters the mouth, there is a full bean flavor, soft and tender, and Ah Xi's eyes widened in amazement.

The same food is made from beans. It tastes very different from tofu and bean curd. Although he hasn't eaten tofu for a long time, he still remembers the taste of tofu. Compared with those two soy products, he prefers to eat made by Yang Ye This one, although the cold salad is refreshing, it is a bit spicy. He moved his chopsticks a few more times with his greedy mouth, and his face turned red.

Yang Ye saw that he couldn't stop pouting when he was obviously hot, so he knew that the bean curd stick was to his liking, so he smiled and poured a glass of cold water to put it in: "Next time I cook, I'll put less chili."

A Xi stopped his chopsticks in embarrassment, and held up his cup: "I, I can't take spicy food very much, but I think this mix is ​​better than tofu."

"You can eat it if you like it, and it's not in vain to toss around for so long. I'll send some to the elder brother and the others tomorrow." Yang Ye picked up a chopstick of egg flower yuba and put it in Ah Xi's bowl: "It's not spicy, eat this."

Ah Xi raised her long eyebrows but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "Well, you can eat too."

The next day, after Yang Ye went to work, Axi collected the bean curd sticks that had dried overnight, and carefully stored them in a dry place, for fear that bumps and bumps would damage the shape of the bean curd sticks and that they would get damp broken.

Later, when he was about to send a basket of bean curd sticks to the old house, Mrs. Yang came instead.

Wu Yonglan came over with some eggs. They raised three hens, and they were all laying eggs. In a few days, they could save up to twenty.

Every morning, Ah Xi would use rice soup to steam a bowl of custard for Yang Ye, and the eggs at home happened to be used up.

Wu Yonglan accepted the yuba from Axi, twisted one into her hand, and pinched the dry one. She didn't see what it was: "Where did it come from? How do you eat it?"

"It's dried in the sun. Soak it in warm water. It can be boiled, fried or mixed." Axi introduced it to Wu Yonglan according to what Yang Ye said.

Wu Yonglan didn't see that there are so many ways to eat the gadgets in the basket, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I will fry a bowl of bacon for lunch today, and the second brother is not at home, so you can go and eat with us, so as not to start a fire .”

Axi quickly waved his hands: "No, no."

"It's about adding a pair of chopsticks to the left and right. Our own family, why are you polite?"

Wu Yonglan hung the basket on his wrist and called Axi over.

It wasn't until Axi arrived at the old house that he realized that his sister-in-law had a visitor today.When he stepped into the yard, he saw a strong man packing dried dates with Yang Cheng. He heard Wu Yonglan said that he was a friend who was running goods with Yang Cheng. He hurriedly followed Wu Yonglan into the kitchen.

Zhao Yong poked Yang Cheng with his elbow: "Hey, who is that brother? Are you relative or fellow countryman?"

Yang Cheng squeezed the jujube: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yong laughed jokingly: "You are so handsome!"

Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows: "That's my sister-in-law, don't come up with any weird ideas."

"Sister-in-law?" Zhao Yong repeated, with surprise and a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Is that your Tongsheng brother?"

Yang Cheng responded.

The two sisters-in-law got busy in the kitchen. Wu Yonglan cut a piece of bacon and boiled some hot water to wash it. The bacon had been smoked for a long time and looked like a dark piece, but the inside smelled delicious after being washed.

Farmers more or less like to smoke some bacon. The bacon can be stored for a long time and is delicious. It is a must-have for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Moreover, when there are guests at home, it’s a treat to eat together or stir-fry or boil. The excellent dishes not only feel respectable to the family, but also feel valued by the visitors, so everyone likes to smoke more when they have more money.

Axi helped Wu Yonglan light the fire, and soaked the bean curd sticks in warm water when he was empty-handed.

Wu Yonglan didn't know that Ah Xi would send yuba. Originally, she planned to fry bacon with green onions. The fragrance could waft far away. Others would know that their family is prosperous by smelling it. But this year, there is less smoked bacon at home, so she dare not take it. There was too much bacon for entertaining guests, and only a piece as big as a palm was cut.

It is already very good to be able to use bacon for entertaining people. Don’t even think about filling the meat. Everyone knows it, but after all, they are still afraid that the fried shallots will appear too little when they are placed on the plate, and they are embarrassed to serve them on the table.

After soaking the yuba, it looks quite heavy, unlike the scallions, which will become less. She is curious about the taste of the yuba, but she still has no idea. She is worried that the yuba will spoil the taste of the meat. Eat less meat.

"Is this delicious? What does it taste like?"

Axi replied: "It tastes very, very good, a bit like tofu."

Before Wu Yonglan got married, she couldn't eat much tofu. The bad tofu made at home was a blessing to them. She had eaten fried tofu with bacon a few times before, and she was still craving the taste. According to Axi, She gritted her teeth and chopped the bean curd sticks for preparation.

Axi was not idle either, he also mixed a plate of cold bean curd sticks with Yang Ye’s mix yesterday, he had dinner with Wu Yonglan and his wife last time, he knew that they like spicy food, and they can eat spicy food very well, They should like the cold yuba.

His hands were very hot after cutting the chili peppers. He went to the water tank outside to scoop some water to wash his hands. He could smell the delicious smell of fried bacon through the wall. Wu Yonglan yelled: "Ready to eat!"

The two men who had finished their busy work outside the house subconsciously stretched their necks and glanced at the kitchen. Zhao Yong said enviously, "Your wife really knows how to cook. It smells so good. After this trip is over, I'll ask the matchmaker to tell me about it at the end of the year." A daughter-in-law."

Yang Cheng said with a smile: "You have saved a lot of money by running goods all these years, so it's time to marry a wife."

With Axi's help, the meal was prepared quickly, and it took only half an hour to cook two dishes and one soup. Everyone was hungry, so they picked up their rice bowls and started eating.

"Hey, what is this fried bacon, it's so tender!"

Zhao Yong was the first to ask. In fact, Wu Yonglan didn't expect the taste of yuba to be so good. She originally thought it would be rough to eat, but she didn't expect the taste to be much more delicate than tofu. After one bite, it was full of plump bacon juice, with a bean flavor. Neutralizing with fat meat, it not only relieves the greasiness of bacon but also gives the yuba a meaty taste, it is really delicious.

Wu Yonglan felt that she had a bright face. Zhao Yong had been out and about with her man for two years. She often heard Yang Cheng talk about it. She knew a little bit about it. Spend by yourself, eat and drink much more than the average person, and your vision is not low, if you can ask him to praise it, how can you not be happy.

"This is a gift from our second brother's family. Axi said it tastes good. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be really fragrant and tender."

Yang Cheng also found it delicious, and said in surprise: "I still think you brought it back from your mother's house."

A Xi said: "This, this is also delicious when mixed."

Everyone took advantage of the opportunity to taste it, and they were all full of praise.

After a meal, the dishes made of yuba were clean, which made Zhao Yong feel embarrassed. He lived alone, and he never treated himself badly in terms of food conditions. He has also been to this restaurant many times. It is reasonable to say that he is not greedy for this kind of bacon, but no matter whether the yuba is fried or mixed, it just makes him unable to stop his chopsticks, and makes him forget that he is here as a guest. .

Although the food was finished, Yang Cheng didn't feel distressed, on the contrary, he was very happy. It was really honorable to entertain guests with something that no one else had seen before.Yang Ye has been making strange things lately, and when someone comes back at night, he wants to go over to see what this kid is doing.
