Little wealth

"Snapped!"

With one knife, one big taro was split in half, and then one piece was split in half, one became two, two became four... two big taro were cut open, and a large basin was filled.The next step is to pat the garlic, pat the garlic, peel off the coat, and peel off a small bowl of garlic.

The shallots were cut into chopped green onions, and a small bowl was also cut.

"Is the fire ready?" After preparing all the materials, Josh turned around and asked the person in charge of lighting the fire.Chen Yan responded, "Okay."

"Okay, I'll start frying rice now." Josh went over to look at the fire in the stove, and scooped up the water in the pot with a shovel. He is going to fry taro rice, and the taro rice must put a little more lard.

Fortunately, it wasn't their mother who set the fire today, otherwise I would have to blame him again.

The oil consumption in the family is getting faster and faster recently. In the past, a bowl of lard was used for a month, then it became half a month, and then it was shortened to seven or eight days. Now a bowl of lard is used up in four or five days.This needs to be known to people outside, so it cannot be said that he is a prodigal.

As the lard in the pot melted slowly, Josh poured the garlic into it and sautéed it until fragrant. The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of garlic.

Then pour in the shrimps and fry, after a few times, pour in the taro and fry together,

At this time, you need to use a shovel to keep turning it. The taro is relatively dry and there is no water coming out. If you don't turn it, it will easily stick to the bottom of the pot.Stir-fry until the taro is slightly browned, scoop in half a spoonful of water, pour the soaked rice into the pot, and then continue to add more water, to submerge the rice, it is similar to the usual cooking water, which is higher than the back of the hand by visual inspection A little height is fine.

Put the lid back on and continue cooking.

"Ayan, the fire in the stove should be lower, not too big." Although there is water in it, if the fire is too big, the water will evaporate too quickly, and it will easily boil the water, and the water may dry up the rice inside. It is not cooked yet, so the amount of heat at this time should be well controlled, just moderate.

After setting the fire for several months, as soon as Chen Yan heard Josh's words, he knew roughly how much firewood and how much fire to put.

"The rice in the pot is not cooked so quickly, we have to wait." The rice in the pot is cooking, and the meat is also stewed in the other pot. At this time, Josh has nothing to do, so he moved a stool to sit At the door, looking at the sun outside the yard, talking to Chen Yan.

I saw that their son was also poking his head out of the main room to look at him. He probably wanted to come out when he saw him, but they were stopped by Ah Mu, who was sitting at the door, and did not let the child go out.

Half a yard away, he could hear his son protesting while sitting at the kitchen door, and he couldn't help but find it funny.

"If you dare to come out, you will be spanked!" Josh raised his hand to their little boy, making a gesture of spanking if he dared to come.

The little brat over there probably understood what he meant, covered his little butt and ran away.But he came back after a while, and continued to poke his neck out, smiling at him, trying to tease him to play with him.

This brat!Josh was so amused by their little brat, he didn't know how this brat learned this trick, and deliberately teased you if he wanted someone to play with him.

But right now he didn't have time to play with the boy, so he gestured to the boy to go back, got up from the stool he was sitting on, turned around and poured the radish on the table into the meat, covered it Cover and continue to simmer.

Usually when the meat is stewed with radishes, he will wait until the meat is half stewed before putting the radishes in. Otherwise, if the meat is put in one piece, the radishes will melt when the meat is stewed.The radish can't be stewed for too long, just a little bit.

The taro rice in the pot exudes a fragrance. The rice is mixed with the aroma of taro and the slightly browned shrimp. The taste is not too attractive.

After calculating that the time was almost up, he opened the lid, and saw that the water inside was almost evaporated, and the rice and taro were mixed together. At this time, the rice was almost cooked, and the taro was already cooked.

"Shh-"

Josh scooped up the rice and taro with a shovel, and turned it over to see if the rice underneath was sticking to the pot. Fortunately, the pot of taro rice was well cooked, and the rice did not stick to the pot. under.

Then put an appropriate amount of salt and a little sugar in it. The sugar is put in to enhance the taste, so you can't put too much, otherwise it will taste sweet when you eat it. He knows that people here don't like sweet food very much. , not to mention all, but most people like salty mouth.

After putting the sugar and salt, continue to stir fry with a shovel until it is evenly mixed, then cover the lid and simmer for a while, and say to Chen Yan: "There is no need to set fire, it will be fine when the wood for this stove is burned." A small fire is enough, the main thing is to dry up the water of the rice, and simmer for a while, the taste will be more fragrant.

"Okay." Chen Yan looked up at the covered pot, but saw nothing.But he is not in a hurry, he will be able to eat it when he can eat, and he is not in a hurry for such a short while.

grumbling-

The fire in the stove was burning, the stewed meat in the pot made a gurgling sound, and the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of meat.

At this time, Josh did not forget that there was still meat stewed in the pot. He opened the lid of the pot and took a look inside. Cooked until soft.

The meat in the pot has been put in soy sauce, sugar and salt before stewing, so just try the taste at this time, as long as the taste is not weak, there is no need to add salt.

"Well, it's ok, just right." Josh tried the taste with a spoon, picked up a little radish and tasted it, the taste in the soup was enough, but the radish was not very tasty.But at this time, there is no need to add salt anymore, and the radish will taste better if you add salt, but the meat and soup will be salty.

When the lid is opened again, the taro rice in the pot has been stewed, the grains of rice are distinct, plump and shiny.Today's taro is very powdery, and it fell apart a bit after cooking, sticking to the rice, but this does not affect the taste, maybe it will be more fragrant?

Put the lid halfway and put it away, pour the chopped green onion in, and stir it with a shovel.

Josh scooped up some rice with a spoon and tasted it, and couldn't help but hum, it was really good. "Come on, you have a taste too, to see if it's salty or bland." As he spoke, he took a mouthful of rice with a spoon and handed it to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, reached out to take the spoon, and took a mouthful of the delicious taro rice. It couldn't be tasted salty, but it was delicious anyway.Facing Josh with questioning and expectant eyes, he nodded and replied with two words, "Delicious."

"Haha, it's fine. If you like it, let's fry it another day." Josh made this taro rice for the first time today, and he didn't expect it to be quite successful. Then take it to the next door." As he spoke, he found a big bowl to put meat in, a bowl of radish and stewed meat, and a big bowl to put a bowl of taro rice, and asked Chen Yan to bring it Go to the house over there.

Chen Yan went out with his things and went to the main room.

Qiao Xu put the remaining taro rice into wooden barrels, covered them, and filled two wooden barrels with the stewed meat, which should be enough for the people over there to eat.There are also chopsticks and bowls for eating. Counting the number of people over there, take two more sets of bowls and chopsticks into the basket, so as to avoid the trouble of running back and forth when there is not enough for the meal.

"Aren't you going to deliver food? I'll deliver food here and there." Zhao Amu came over and saw that everything had been packed into a wooden barrel, so she asked her daughter-in-law to go back to eat, saying that he was going to deliver food.

Just as Josh had packed up his things, he saw his mother coming, and said with a smile: "Mu, you go eat first, and Ah Yan and I can go and deliver it." He happened to want to see what their carpenter Zhao was doing. How's the job going.

Recently, Carpenter Zhao of their family is busy working next door, and they only hear voices and see no one here.He is in charge of taking care of the children and cooking at home every day, and has almost never delivered food there, but today he wants to deliver food there, and express his condolences to their carpenter Zhao.

Chen Yan took the meat and rice to the main room, and met the child standing by the table biting his finger, looking at me and you.He didn't know how to deal with this child, and turned his head to look out anxiously, wondering why Zhao Amu and Brother Qiao hadn't come back yet.

The little boy bit his little finger, looked at the food on the table, and wondered why he hadn't been given a meal yet.

"You and Brother Qiao go over there to deliver the food, and come back to eat soon after delivery." After all, Zhao Amu handed over the work of delivering the food to his daughter-in-law, so he came back and prepared to take his grandson to eat first.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chen Yan responded and went out.

"I have two, you just need to carry the wooden bucket." Josh, who was waiting in the kitchen, came over quickly when he saw Chen Yan. Ask Chen Yan who came over to take another wooden barrel.

Chen Yan reached out and took the basket in Josh's hand, and said, "I'll get it." In his eyes, Josh was a delicate brother who needed someone to take care of him, and all the effort deserved it. Do it for his strong brother, how can Josh take more things than him.

In fact, if you want him to tell you, he thinks it’s enough to deliver the meals by himself, so there’s no need for the two of them to go together.But he didn't say this, he was used to following what Josh said, so he would listen to what Josh said.

"Okay, you can take it." Josh couldn't help laughing, and he didn't forget to take two hats from outside the door when he went out, one for himself and one for Chen Yan to wear, " The sun is too strong, we need to wear a hat when we go out, remember to wear a hat next time you run outside, don’t keep drying like this.”

But Chen Yan was noncommittal to this statement, he thought it was nothing more than a little sunbathing.But when Josh put the hat on his head, he just didn't refuse.
