rebirth through food

Chapter 11 Brewing Soy Sauce

brewed soy sauce

Ye Xiaofeng and Lan'er thought it was too hot, so they ate the mushrooms slowly, and the three of Ye's father enjoyed the food while talking.

After drinking a bowl of soup first, both Ye Xiaofeng and Lan'er felt a little full and only filled half a bowl of rice.

Lan'er stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the chopsticks and fried vegetables, and ate them with brown rice.Ye Xiaofeng saw that Lan'er only picked up vegetables, and he ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Knowing that the other party was reluctant, he directly put a chopstick full of cucumber slices into his bowl.

"Lan'er, father and brother will let you eat meat every day in the future, don't be reluctant."

In the past two days, Lan'er's cowardly appearance has somewhat changed. Although she is willing to take the initiative to pick up vegetables, she doesn't eat much meat, and the number of times she picks up vegetables is also less.

Ye Xiaofeng loves Lan'er very much. They are both girls. At the beginning, his cousin raised her like a princess. She was picky about food and picky about his cooking. Lan'er obviously liked it, but she refused to eat more. She wanted to eat less. A little, father and brother can eat more, how can he not love such a caring sister.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaofeng put another chopstick of vegetables into Laner's bowl, and there were several pieces of fried brown oil residue on it.This kind of food is burnt and crispy, and it turns into a puddle of oil and water in the mouth, not to mention Lan Er, even he likes to eat it very much.

"Brother, brother, I have enough to eat." Lan'er shouted, she was afraid that she would eat too much and rob others. "So much meat, I, I already feel very happy."

"What is this? There is still a rabbit hanging on our shed. If we go up the mountain tomorrow, we might catch a roe deer." Ye Xiaofeng raised his chin, "We will be able to eat meat every day from now on."

Father Ye laughed.Ye Xiaofeng was injured in the past two days, but he seemed to be a different person.Although he made many suggestions that surprised him, he was afraid that the children would feel uncomfortable, so he agreed to them all, but he did not expect that this seemingly unreliable suggestion would actually let them see the money and eat the meat.The behavior was so surprising that he no longer regarded Ye Xiaofeng as a teenager, but as someone who could already be the pillar of the family.

But just now Ye Xiaofeng held his face high and looked arrogant, but he couldn't help laughing, this is still a child after all!

Under Ye Xiaofeng's strong persuasion, he ate up the two dishes.Although food is nutritious, vegetables and fruits contain even more nutrients. Families in this village steam and eat these vegetables, or they pickle them with salt and eat them as pickles, which is really a waste.Now that he is here, he can no longer live this kind of life, at least for a short time, the Ye family cannot live this kind of life.

After dinner, the father and son each went to take a nap.Ye Xiaofeng sat dreaming all night and was busy all morning. He was already tired, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Ye Xiaofeng opened his eyes and was surprised to find that he was still at the bottom of the tower.Could it be that he is dreaming again?

But fortunately, the headache was gone at this moment, he didn't dare to act rashly any more, and slowly looked around.

This tower is not very spacious, but he found that there seems to be something wrong with this place.After looking at it for a while, he realized that the inside of the tower looked like a kitchen, and what was wrong turned out to be that there were a few things missing inside.

Around the tower, there are some vague outlines, some of which still have the same things beside them, but some places are empty, obviously the things that should have existed are gone, this is what Ye Xiaofeng finds strange .

There were many things missing. According to Ye Xiaofeng's speculation, there was an iron pot for cooking, a kitchen knife, and even something similar to a vat. Apart from that, he couldn't see the other things clearly.

Guessing that the interior of the tower is a kitchen, Ye Xiaofeng became curious.He himself liked to stay in the kitchen, so he was despised by his former cousin for being worthless.Even so, the dishes he made in the end still left his cousin who was so picky about his craftsmanship speechless.Now seeing that the strange place in this place turned out to be a kitchen, I suddenly became interested.

Ye Xiaofeng forgot the pain after his scar healed, and started to walk around again, looking around, and when he touched one of the several large tanks on the ground, something strange happened.

A green light enveloped him, and he instantly realized that he was out of his control, and an old voice actually sounded in his mind, briefly telling the origin of this tower.

It turns out that this tower is known as the God of Cookery Tower, which was refined by the God of Cookery tens of thousands of years ago.The jade gourd is the carrier of the God of Cookery Tower, and only follows the destined person, and the white jade piece he touched the day before is the key to open the God of Cookery Tower.

Now that he came to the tower again, he had already activated the conditions for opening it.The things recorded in that piece of white jade-like jade talisman were displayed in his mind one by one like a book.

Ye Xiaofeng tried to flip through a few pages with his consciousness before realizing that this book is divided into four parts, namely Heaven, Earth, Mystery and Yellow.

It is recorded in the book that the Huang level includes all the ingredients and preparation methods of folk dishes, while the Xuan level part is some untold secrets in the cultivation world.As for the introductions after the sky level and the earth level, it is blank, which makes people feel a little confused, but it must be extraordinary if you think about it.

But Ye Xiaofeng can only open the yellow part at the moment, and the yellow part is divided into seasoning chapters, knife skills chapters, ingredients chapters, drinks chapters, and miscellaneous chapters.

Although these five parts can be opened at the moment, most of them only have some names on them, and the content below is blank.Ye Xiaofeng went through the five volumes, except for the miscellaneous chapters, which are similar to various miscellaneous notes, the origins of various rare ingredients, and cooking experience of many legendary dishes.And the other four can see very little.

Although Ye Xiaofeng was very interested in the content of the miscellaneous chapters, he was more interested in the previous chapters, especially the seasoning chapter. The content of this part was almost all mixed production methods of various seasoning chapters.

Looking at those mouth-watering seasonings, Ye Xiaofeng could only find painfully that there were only three or five articles that could be seen after unlocking the seal.

Fortunately, in the only three or five articles, there are just about the production methods of several basic seasonings such as yellow sauce and soy sauce.

Ye Xiaofeng eagerly studied and memorized the prison. The level at which he could open the jade talisman was still too low, otherwise he would not only be able to study it now, but also be able to summon it even if he was outside the God of Food Tower.

Just as he was engrossed in watching, his body shook for a while, Ye Xiaofeng opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Lan'er who was kneeling on the bedside and looking at him.

"Laner?"

"Brother, you've been sleeping all afternoon." Lan'er looked at Ye Xiaofeng and said with a smile.

Ye Xiaofeng yawned and got up and got out of bed. Looking at the sky, it was indeed already afternoon. He didn't expect to sleep for such a long time.

When he went out and saw half a bag of soybeans at the door, Ye Xiaofeng instantly remembered what happened in his dream.

Ye Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to open the sack, and took a handful of soybeans with his hands. His mind was refreshed for a while, and the soy sauce brewing method that he deliberately memorized was still fresh in his memory.It seems that the things in the dream are real?

Ye Xiaofeng was excited.Lan'er was given full authority over the preparation of dinner, and he himself went to move out a large wooden basin, and dragged half a sack of beans to the side of the well.

The only two things that Ye Xiaofeng is thankful for in this world are, firstly, that he is still a man, and secondly, that he has a well at home.

As a man, regardless of whether he is rich or poor, he has a chance to make a fortune in the world. If he is born into a girl, let alone do a big job, he may not even have enough to eat at the beginning.Looking at Lan'er's skinny appearance before, one can tell how miserable the girls in this place are.

The second thing is that it is also a good thing to have a well.The well water is not as clean as the tap water in his previous world, and besides having to fetch the water himself, the well water is also not as clean as the tap water.But in comparison, the well in my home is somewhat cleaner than the public places at the entrance of the village.There is a small shed above the well in his house, at least some messy things will not fall down easily.

Drag the things to the well, pour a bucket of water into the basin, pour the soybeans in the same way, and start cleaning.

If you want to make mellow soy sauce, first of all, there should be no messy things in the soybeans.Although soybeans are abundant in this place, few people eat them.

Dried soybeans are not easy to cook, and have a strong beany smell, so people here use soybeans as food for livestock, and only a very small number of extremely poor people cook soybeans for food.

The Ye family also had livestock before, but in order for the second child, Ye Xingfeng, to join the Qingshan School, they had to sell the money for him to take with him.The animals were sold, but the beans were not thrown away, and kept in the granary.Fortunately, although the beans are a bit old, they are well preserved.

Ye Xiaofeng washed very carefully, picked up the soybeans with his hands and rubbed them, the pods, floating beans and other light debris floated on the surface of the water and were easily removed.Pick up the beans with a strainer, and a lot of sediment and other things have deposited on the muddy bottom.

After repeated cleaning several times, Ye Xiaofeng took out the beans and put them in a clean wooden bucket until the water in the basin was clear to the bottom.

In the current weather, I'm afraid it will take a whole night of soaking before it can be soaked, Ye Xiaofeng is not in a hurry, he lifted the wooden barrel to the outhouse and put it away, helping Lan'er to cook together.

Lan'er was very nimble, reheated the leftover brown rice at noon, and fried some vegetables.But she didn't dare to put meat like Ye Xiaofeng did, she just put more lard.

Ye Xiaofeng looked at the dishes and soaked the black fungus on the window sill.

These fungus were picked together with mushrooms in the mountains last time, but fresh fungus cannot be eaten right away, it must be dried and re-soaked before eating.

The weather has been fine these two days, and the originally dark and fat fungus has shrunk into a ball, but after soaking it in water, it returned to its fresh and tender appearance after a while.

Fungus, sliced ​​meat, plus a cucumber, fried a simple version of Mushu meat, it’s not that I don’t want to put eggs, but the Ye family’s hens are really old, let alone one egg a day, even two days may not be able to lay one Come.

But going to the market to buy eggs is a bit uneconomical.Twelve cents a catty of eggs, few families are willing to buy food every day, and the Ye family is no exception.

Father Ye came back from the field a long time ago, and wanted to help, but the two children disagreed, so he had no choice but to work hard in the vegetable garden in the yard with a hoe.

As soon as the food was ready, Father Ye washed his hands and went into the house. The fragrance filled the room really made people feel very comfortable, but Father Ye was also worried.

The food in the family can be said to be ok. Recently, the family has eaten meat, but the food is scarce and it is fast. If this continues, the family may be broken before the new food arrives.
