rebirth through food

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes

Because he didn't eat much vegetarian food, Ye Xiaofeng woke up very early from hunger.He didn't know how that Ye Xiaofeng survived, anyway, he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it.

Turning over to get up, I found that Lan'er had already got up and was feeding the chickens in the yard.

"Brother, are you up?" Lan'er poured the remaining vegetable leaves into the trough, and wiped her hands clean. "Shall we go now?"

"Then... meal..." Ye Xiaofeng was so hungry that he was going crazy, and he finished washing in two or three strokes.But he knew that the farm had two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and his son would have nothing to eat at this moment.

"Brother, are you hungry?" Lan'er looked at Ye Xiaofeng in surprise.

"Aren't you hungry?" Ye Xiaofeng was even more surprised.

"I'm used to it, and I don't think so." Lan'er smiled honestly.

"Let's eat first. I don't know when we'll be back when we go out." Ye Xiaofeng was a little speechless. How can we get rich if we save food so much?

"...Okay." Lan'er hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.

But this early in the morning, Lan'er didn't know what to eat, so Ye Xiaofeng simply took over the power of cooking.

"Brother, you are a man, how can you cook!" Lan'er rushed to grab it.

"What's wrong with men? Men don't need to eat!" Ye Xiaofeng's expression was serious. He looked down on those people who didn't work by themselves and found out the truth.A woman spends her whole life being filial to her parents at home, serving her husband when she gets married, serving her in-laws, and having children. Not to mention these things, the work in the field must be done, and the work at home must still be done.

If it is said that the women in the family can have a few years of good life before they get married, the girls from this poor family will have no leisure time in their lives.

As an older brother, it would be shameless for him not to help his younger sister, but if he wanted to sit back and enjoy what he got, how shameless he would be.

"Brother...but someone else's family..."

"Other people's homes are other people's homes, and ours is ours. As long as you don't marry for a day, you will be loved by your father and brother. What's the trivial thing like cooking!" Ye Xiaofeng has no idea that men are superior to women. When living in my aunt's house, except for him and my uncle who were men, the rest were women, but he never did the housework alone, and he was really not used to Lan'er's craftsmanship.

Instructing Lan'er to help out, Ye Xiaofeng stroked his chin and thought about what to do.I have finished the meal I made yesterday, whether it is rice or noodles, I can't eat it right away.If the meals are cooked together, it can save some time.

Let Lan'er mix a piece of noodles, and he went to the garden to pick vegetables.There are a lot of vegetables in the garden, and most of them are green vegetables. Some Ye Xiaofeng often eats in the space where he lives, and some have never been seen.

I picked two tomatoes and two straight cucumbers and went into the house.

Mian Lan'er was already alive, and according to Ye Xiaofeng's wishes, she cooked gruel in the pot.

Picking up the two eggs that Father Ye took out yesterday, Ye Xiaofeng beat them in the bowl and stirred them quickly.Although this egg is not a rare thing, it is rare for their family to eat it.There were only a few chickens in the family, and it was not possible to lay eggs every day. Whenever I saved up to ten chickens, I would sell them in the market, and I could exchange them for ten yuan.

Pour oil into the pan, and the oil poured is vegetable oil, which is very expensive.In fact, the Ye family doesn't eat this kind of vegetable oil very much, the price is high, and it is not as meaty as lard.This is the only small can that was specially brought back when Ye Siaofeng went home last time. I heard that people from the Qingshan School prefer this kind of vegetable oil.

The vegetable oil is a bit greenish and dull in color, far less clear and translucent than in his time and space, but what he wants to do is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, using vegetable oil is much better than lard.

Seeing green smoke rising from the vegetable oil in the pot, Ye Xiaofeng poured the stirred egg liquid into the pot.The egg liquid quickly swelled up on the hot oil, and a scent of eggs came to the face.Ye Xiaofeng flipped it a few times quickly with a shovel to make the eggs fully cooked, and poured in the chopped tomatoes in his hand and started to stir-fry.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is an extremely simple dish, and it doesn't need soy sauce and vinegar. He has never seen these things on Ye's stove.There was only oil and salt on the stove, and he came up with this dish only on a whim. A few emerald green scallions were sprinkled on top of the salted dish, and a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, delicious in color and flavor came out of the pot.

The rice grains that have been boiled in the porridge here are soft. As long as the rice blooms, it is cooked properly.Brown rice is not easy to cook, and it is relatively hard. The brown rice I ate before, not to mention raw rice, was not strong enough.

The surface of the noodles that have been cooked is very smooth, but it is darker and thicker than the white noodles made from wheat, but the aroma of wheat is still the same.

Roll the noodles into a round sheet, spread a thin layer of lard, sprinkle some fine salt, roll it up slowly, and divide it into dozens of small noodles.

Hold up the grate on the side of the pot, and re-roll the small noodle agent into thin sheets and stick it gently on the side of the pot.A dozen small pancakes were pasted around the pot, and Ye Xiaofeng put the lid back on.

At this time, Father Ye had already gotten up and finished washing, and took the initiative to help the siblings set the table after looking around in the outer room.

While the pancakes were not yet cooked, Ye Xiaofeng washed two more cucumbers, patted them quickly with the back of a knife a few times, cut them diagonally into small pieces, sprinkled them with salt and minced garlic, and poured a few drops of oil on them, and served them on the table.

Because the pancakes were very thin, they cooked very quickly. In just a moment, Ye Xiaofeng lifted the lid of the pot.The rice porridge has blossomed, and the pancakes are even more crispy and browned.

Ye Xiaofeng picked up a dozen pancakes into a plate and put them on the table, and the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was already on the table.Lan'er filled the porridge in no time, and brought it up bowl by bowl.

"Let's eat." Father Ye didn't think too much about his youngest son's cooking. Lan Er's mother died early. Not less, or a few children will not even be able to eat.It's just that Lan'er has grown up in the past two years, so he took up the matter of the stove, which made him, a father, feel relieved.

The three of them sat around the kang table, each with a bowl of boiled brown rice porridge, a plate of scrambled eggs with yellow and red tomatoes in the middle, a plate of emerald green cucumbers, and a large plate of baked pancakes with one side burnt yellow.

Father Ye was the first to pick up a pancake. Although it was baked from rye, the burnt yellow color still whetted the appetite.

"Father, how about you taste it first!" Ye Xiaofeng smiled and watched Father Ye bite off.

Because it contains pork, the pancakes are crispy on the outside, but layered on the inside, with a slight meaty aroma and a slight salty taste.Father Ye bit down and chewed slowly, and couldn't help nodding. It seems that the youngest son knows how to cook more than his daughter.

"Father, is it delicious?" Ye Xiaofeng asked asking for credit.

Father Ye was not very expressive, and he couldn't say any words of praise. He just patted Ye Xiaofeng's head with his other hand and said, "It's delicious."

"That's good." Seeing Ye's father loves to eat, Ye Xiaofeng was also happy. He didn't use these poor kitchen utensils, and he had never cooked under such conditions without a variety of seasonings.

Ye Xiaofeng reached out and grabbed a cake and stuffed it into his younger sister's hand. He also picked up one and bit down.

Although the taste was a bit worse than expected, it was much better than the two meals yesterday.Although the rye noodles are darker and thicker, Ye Xiaofeng couldn't help showing an intoxicated expression because of the unmistakable natural aroma of roasted wheat.

"Xiaofeng, what kind of dish is this?" Most of the dishes in the farmhouse are steamed and boiled, and this is the first time I have seen this stir-fried dish.However, the slight sour taste in the salty fragrance in the mouth is irresistible.Especially the oil-cooked eggs, although a lot of vegetable oil was used, but the taste is also very different.

Father Ye had eaten boiled eggs and salted eggs before, but this was the first time he had eaten scrambled eggs. After one bite, he felt that it was very tasty, so he started eating one after another.

Ye Xiaofeng became happy. He knew that although this dish was simple, there were many people who loved it. It was the first time for Father Ye to eat it, so he naturally found it very delicious.

Seeing Lan'er timidly refusing to eat vegetables, Ye Xiaofeng just nibbled on the pancakes, feeling very distressed. "Lan'er, why don't you eat vegetables?"

Lan'er raised her head and took a quick look at Ye Xiaofeng, "Brother, the pancakes are already delicious..."

"How can I do that!" Ye Xiaofeng was a little annoyed. "I want to eat food."

"I...I don't want to eat..." Lan'er's eyes turned red.

He knew that Lan'er didn't want to eat vegetables, but her long-standing living habits made her afraid to eat them.She used to just eat some porridge every day, but now she felt very happy to be able to eat the burnt pancakes.But in Ye Xiaofeng's view, this is very sad. She is supposed to be a pampered girl, but she is living such a hard life, and she can't even eat enough.Looking at the yellow and thin face and the patched shirt, Ye Xiaofeng's eyes dimmed.For three years, at most three years, he must let the family live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaofeng picked up a chopstick full of eggs and tomatoes and put them in the bowl in front of Lan'er.There was more than half a bowl of porridge in the bowl, but Ye Xiaofeng couldn't care less, letting Lan'er pick up the vegetables by herself was like forcing her to do bad things.

This time Lan'er didn't refuse anymore, she hesitated for a while, picked up the food in the bowl with her chopsticks, chewed it a few times, then her eyes lit up, she looked up at Ye Xiaofeng, "Brother, this is delicious!"

"It's delicious, so eat more. Only by eating more vegetables can you grow well."

Seeing the harmony between his siblings, Ye's father felt very relieved, and at the same time he sighed inwardly, he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father!

Two big tomatoes, plus two eggs, there are quite a lot of dishes on this plate, not to mention a cucumber.The family's food was extremely sweet, and Ye's father even ate five or six pancakes in a row, and took two bowls of gruel.

Ye Xiaofeng also ate three pancakes and drank a big bowl of porridge.Only Lan'er ate very little, and refused to eat any more pancakes after eating one. In the end, Ye Xiaofeng made a serious face on purpose, and let Lan'er eat another pancake.
