butcher's cook

?? "Come on, daughter-in-law, what do you think I bought?" Early in the morning, every time the genius was bright, Liu Laosan came back with a basket.

??Xu Niangzi stretched out her head, "What did you buy?"

?? "Shrimp, small river prawns." Liu Laosan grabbed a handful into the basket, "Look, such big prawns are rare."

??The shrimps in Liu Laosan's hands are five or six times long, and the little finger is big, which can be regarded as relatively large.

??Xu Niangzi nodded in agreement, "That's true. In previous years, what was caught from the mountains into the river was not as big as this one."

?? "I'll fetch water to raise it. When Brother Ning comes back to see how it is done, I have to take this basket back to the fisherman." Liu Laosan said.

?? "Go, Brother Ning won't be back in a while." Mrs. Xu was cutting shredded pork, with three layers of fat and thin.They all use this for their Zaozi noodles. It is not minced, but cut into strips of shredded pork, which is fried with pickles before and after.Bai Ning thinks that such dryness tastes good.

?? It is a little labor-intensive.

??Liu Dashan is in charge of raising the noodles, and Bai Ning is in charge of purchasing, because some spices and so on have to go to the pharmacy.However, Bai Ning is also planning to teach Liu Dashan the recipe, because his noodle ramen and noodle cooking skills have already passed the test, so he can go out and do it alone, but he hasn't found a shop yet.

??The shops on the other side of the yamen are a bit expensive, and there is no room for a family of three.Miss Xu wanted to live here permanently, and because Bai Ning had a place for her family to establish a foothold in the county, she wanted to just live in this county.

?? Not long after, Bai Ning came back with a basket and led Xiaobao. He bought all the leafy vegetables for the noodle bowl.

"Second Aunt, I'm back. I bought a piece of ginger, which hasn't dried out yet. I'll plant it in the yard and keep it as a seed. I will plant a piece of land next year in the next year to grow ginger, so I don't need to go to the pharmacy anymore." bought.

?? "Can you grow this ginger yourself?" Ms. Xu asked.

?? "The ones that haven't dried out can germinate, and I can definitely grow them myself. It's similar to growing crops. It's not good to serve them so well. The taste of ginger is great, and I'm not afraid of any bugs."

"Then I'll ask your uncle and cousin to pick sand later, and we'll make tofu curds at home."

??Bai Ning washed the vegetable leaves, which were cabbage and lettuce leaves.At this time, there were not as many leafy vegetables as in later generations, only cabbage and lettuce, water spinach and Piaoerbai.Lettuce, cabbage... He hasn't seen it here yet.

??Bai Ning likes to use lettuce and water spinach. He told a vegetable seller that he needs three catties of lettuce or water spinach every day, and he gave a deposit.The family thought he ran a restaurant, so they would prepare the dishes he wanted individually every day.

?? "Second aunt, I also bought bamboo shoots, and today I will eat fried pork with bamboo shoots."

?? "Haha, coincidentally, your uncle bought river prawns and raised them in the backyard. You can watch them later."

?? "There are river prawns at this time?"

?? "It's available at any time, but it's hard to catch when it's cold."

??Bai Ning cleaned the vegetables and saw half a bucket of river prawns in the backyard. Some of them were dead, but most of them were still alive.

After cleaning the river prawns and removing the impurities, Bai Ning started to make a recipe, "Second Aunt, let's make fried small river prawns with salt and pepper, and then make spicy small river prawns."

??Xu Niangzi is a good cook, but her family conditions do not allow it. I have never heard of salt and pepper shrimp. "I said you have an idea, just make a decision."

?? "Little Treasure, what are you doing?"

?? "Yuyu." Xiaobao caught a small river prawn in his hand. The small river prawn was alive and kicking, with its long legs waving wildly in the air.

?? After the pony and donkey incident, Bai Ning will not correct him anymore. As long as it is not a matter of principle or three views, he is not too lazy to practice such deadly kung fu. It will be fine when he is a little older.

?? "Oh, does Xiaobao want to eat Yuyu? I'll make you Yuyu later."

?? "Ah... bite Xiaobao..." A river prawn was caught in Xiaobao's hand without paying attention.

??Bai Ning glanced at it, but there was no mark at all. The pliers of this small river prawn are soft, and it doesn't hurt at all.

?? "Hey, Xiaobao, even the shrimp likes you!"

??Xiao Bao was a little shy, he didn't let go of the shrimp in his hand, "Daddy, let me play with this fish."

?? "Don't play, the river prawns stink, and Xiaobao's hands will stink after playing. Ask, do your hands stink?"

??Xiao Bao put his hand under his nose and smelled it, and immediately became disgusted, "Smelly, Xiao Bao stopped playing, Daddy, wash your hands."

"Let's go, Daddy will take Xiaobao to wash up."

??At the moment, there is no detergent and soap, but there is saponin.Every year when the saponins mature, someone will pick them up and sell them.

?? People with some conditions do not use this, they use bath beans.Ordinary people use saponins.

?? Saponin is troublesome to use, so Bai Ning simply bought bath beans.

?? This thing is a bit expensive, but the price is not outrageous, within the range that Bai Ning can afford.If it is more expensive, he will have to consider whether to start experimenting with making soap.

?? He doesn't know how to make soap. He only knows to use lard and alkali. He doesn't know what else is needed, and he has no direction to make it.

?? "Washing in vain, fragrant."

?? "Sell - candied haws - slightly -"

?? "Sell - candied haws - slightly -"

?? "Xiaobao, the seller of candied haws is here."

?? Without Bai Ning calling, Xiaobao ran out by himself. Now candied haws is a must-have snack for Xiaobao every day. The old man who sells candied haws is familiar with Xiaobao.

?? "Grandpa, a candied haws."

"Okay, Xiaobao is here to buy candied haws again today!" The old man smiled and pulled out a candied haws for Xiaobao, and charged him two pennies.

?? I have to say that in this age when sugar production is difficult, the price of candied haws is still a bit expensive.

??Xiaobao took the candied haws and divided them one by one, "Daddy has one Xiaobao, aunt has one Xiaobao, cousin has one Xiaobao, and uncle has one... Xiaobao is gone..."

??The candied haws are made of red dates, covered with a layer of maltose, which tastes sweet.

?? "Daddy one."

??Bai Ning doesn't like small things, but he will take them. Xiaobao is still young, so he can't eat too much sugar. Three candied haws a day is enough.

?? "Little Treasure is so good."

??As time went on, guests began to come one after another. At this time, Xiaobao would not run around, either staying in the yard or at the counter.Bai Ning was worried that he would run out, and there were no children of the same age nearby, so he left Xiaobao at home.

?? "Second aunt, there are no customers in the store now, I'm going to cook."

?? "Go, there are only two tables, and I will do it."

??Lunch is the salt and pepper small river prawns and spicy river prawns mentioned earlier, followed by fried pork with bamboo shoots and vegetables.

??He first made fried meat with bamboo shoots, and then fried vegetables.Because the latter two dishes have a fishy smell, they are fried later.

??The ingredients are all cleaned in advance, and now I only cook vegetables, which is very fast.

?? Stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots is also simple. Bamboo shoots do not eat meat, but it is delicious only if it is heavy in oil, so this meat is fried with pork belly.Stir-fry the pork belly, add ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, and sauté until fragrant, and finally add bamboo shoots and stir-fry.

??Salt and pepper small river prawns are also simple to make. His mother's best dish is his father's favorite dish. It tastes very good with wine.The method is also simple, clean the river prawns, then marinate them, control the moisture a little bit, then coat them with starch, fry them in a pan until the surface is crispy, and finally sprinkle with salt and pepper.

??Pepper salt is fried by Bai Ning in the morning, and it is also ground into powder. Now it is ready-made.

??Liu Laosan bought more than three catties of river prawns. Bai Ning used half of them and fried most of them.

?? When Bai Ning was doing it, Xiao Bao waited at the side, and now his eyes were fixed on the bowl containing salt and pepper shrimp, and he couldn't bear to take his eyes off.

?? "Want to eat?"

??"Um."

?? Bai Ning pinched a small river prawn and put it in his mouth, "Let Daddy taste that little treasure. Does the prawn taste salty?"

?? "Delicious, more."

??Bai Ning filled a small half bowl for him, let him eat and play, and then started to make spicy small river prawns.

?? This is not complicated to make, the stove is high, and the speed is fast, and it can be done in two or three strokes.

"Second Aunt, Uncle, Dashan, it's time to eat."

?? Lady Xu also greeted the last guest, and when she heard Bai Ning's words, she went to serve the bowl.

?? "Brother Ning, I ate quite a lot for lunch today."

?? "There are only four dishes. Do you guys try this shrimp? Is it delicious?"

?? "Brother Ning's craftsmanship must be delicious." Miss Xu said with a smile.

?? "These shrimp are the best with wine." Liu Laosan also said.

?? "This is a dish that goes with wine, it's almost too bad for a meal." Bai Ning explained.

?? "I haven't seen where this is done. If it is put in a restaurant, it will definitely sell well."

?? Bai Ning just listened casually. After all, what they do here is small business. How can they prepare this every day?

?? After dinner, Liu Laosan and Dashan went to the next door to borrow a scooter.Hesha and Hesha used picky words, but they struggled to keep them silent, which was not efficient.Bai Ning thought of the donkey at home, which could be pulled by a donkey cart with a board.

??Tan Ming heard that he borrowed a cart, so he agreed without saying a word, "What do you use the cart for? Do you need help?"

?? "No need, Dashan and I will do. Brother Ning said that we will raise some ginger seedlings in the back and we want some river sand. Let's go to the river to dig some river sand." Liu Laosan explained.

??He looked at Butcher Tan, and thought of what he had discussed with his wife two days ago, so he said, "Brother Tan, I have something to tell you. Are you free tonight?"

?? "Nothing, you just come."

?? "That's good, that's good. I'll bring two appetizers over tonight, and we'll talk while eating."

?? "Also."

?? "Then I won't bother you anymore, go get busy if you have something to do!"

??Tan Ming is indeed busy. He does not sell meat in the county every day. He also needs to go to the countryside to bring back the pigs. However, his price is fair and he will not drag the money for selling pigs, so the people nearby want to sell them. Pork will also choose him.

?? Someone brought a letter yesterday, saying that the pig at home could be killed, and asked him to take a look.

?? He was thinking about what happened to Mr. Liu, and while he was packing his things, he needed to bring a large scale. Not all farmers have large scales. If there is no province, they will borrow them everywhere.
