Little wealth

"Okay, you should eat a little less, it's gone, and you can have dinner at night." The plate of crispy meat on the table was eaten up, and seeing the expression of their child who was about to cry, Qiao Xu pulled the child over to him, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped the child's hands and mouth.

"Gone?"

"Yeah, it's gone, everyone has finished eating. Didn't you also eat a lot?"

Ah Nian stretched her neck to look at the table, seeing that there was no piece of crispy meat on the plate, the expression on her little face suddenly dimmed.

"Look at the child, I'll go in and get busy." Josh couldn't laugh or cry seeing the child's appearance, but he didn't have time to coax the child at the moment, there was still a lot of work waiting for him to do in the kitchen Otherwise, they don't know when they will eat their dinner tonight.

Seeing that the dough and minced meat on the table were almost at the end, he stood up and was about to go into the kitchen, and said to them, "Mum, just finish making these dumplings. Let's eat dumplings tonight, tonight's There are a lot of dishes, do you still want to eat rice? If you want to eat, I will cook some more?"

"Let's eat. You'd better cook some rice, I'm afraid some people will want to eat." Zhao Amu said.

"Okay, I'll go in and put down two spoonfuls of rice to cook."

Thinking that they still had two dogs at home, and the two dogs also had to eat, Josh went into the kitchen and sent someone to wash rice and cook.But knowing that there are more dishes and dumplings today, I cook less rice than usual.

Through the kitchen window, Zhao He saw people working inside, one of them was his husband.It's just that there were too many people inside, and they were all girls and brothers. It was inconvenient for him to go in as a big man, so he didn't go in with Fu Lang.

The wrapped dumplings were taken into the kitchen, and a group of people sat outside, looking at me and I looking at you, with nothing to do.

Zhao Amu thought of the radishes and white cabbage in the field, then looked at these men who had nothing to do, and asked: "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go and help me remove the radishes and cabbages in the field?" Take it?"

"Sure, it's in your family's field, right? Let's go to the field to collect radishes and cabbage while the rice is not cooked." Chen Butcher was the first to stand up, and he just ate some meat and went in. Go to the field and pull a few radishes for digestion. After a while, I will have a stomach for dinner.

"I'll go get the basket and push the cart." Zhao Hu jumped up to get the basket and the donkey, pulled the donkey cart and came out.

Josh was cooking in the kitchen. When he heard the noise outside, he poked his head out and took a look. Seeing that the group of people outside were leading donkeys and pulling carts, he asked, "Where are you going?"

"Em told us to go to the field to collect radishes and cabbages, and we will come back after collecting some radishes and cabbages." Zhao Hu shouted.

"Oh, then you go and come back earlier, don't go too long, and dinner will be ready in half an hour." Josh shouted to the people outside.At this time, Zhao He walked to the kitchen window and said to Fu Lang who was standing inside: "I will take the children out together, and I will bring them back together later."

"Okay, you go. Remember to keep an eye on the children." Josh knew that this man would take good care of the child. Instead of keeping the child at home and having several people follow behind to watch, it would be better to take that brat with him. Go outside and burn some energy.

In the past two days, my son has been playing with his little brothers, and their little boy doesn't follow him much anymore.

Seeing the son being carried on the back by the big brother, Josh felt the urge to cover his forehead. The little boy in their family is really...

A group of people outside the yard disappeared with a clatter, and the whole yard fell silent in an instant.

***

At this time, dinner was being prepared in their kitchen in full swing.

"The meat is ready, let's prepare for frying. It happens that there is still oil in the pot. After frying, put the meat away." The oil in the pot is occupying the pot. After frying, they put away the oil and they didn't have any cooking pots to use.

The pork belly for braised pork has been processed, and it will be fried and steamed in the pan later. If they don't process it quickly, they will delay their dinner.

If Josh said that braised pork was delicious, it was too much trouble to make it, so in order to avoid trouble, he made a lot at one time, and the rest could be eaten tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"Why don't I come, and you tell me how to do it." It happened that Chen Yan had chopped all the things that needed to be chopped, and when he saw that Josh was going to fry something, he came over to help .

"Okay then, come on... put the meat in the pan to fry, be careful not to let the oil splash on your hands." Since someone is willing to help, Josh is naturally very willing to let others help Yes, after teaching others, he won't need to do these things next time, and next time he just waits for others to prepare it and serve it to him in front of him.

"You wait for the temperature of the oil in the pot to rise, and then put the pork belly in it to fry... Yes, it's now."

After Chen Yan came to help, Josh stood behind and directed. Seeing that the temperature of the oil had risen, he asked Chen Yan to fry the pork belly that had been prepared in advance one by one.

A few large pieces of pork belly were put into the pot, and the pot was almost full.

The oil in the pot rolled around the meat, making a sizzling sound.

Seeing that one side was almost fried, Josh reminded Chen Yan: "It's time to change the other side, turn over carefully, don't let the oil burn your hands, this oil is very hot."

Chen Yan used chopsticks to turn over the meat in the pot. This was the first time he had come to the kitchen to help with these things, so it was a bit unwieldy, but he still managed to turn over a few pieces of pork belly without letting the oil Burn your hands.

"Okay, let's take it out..." When the pork belly in the pot was fried golden on both sides, Josh reminded Chen Yan to take out the fried pork belly and put it aside for later use. Go in and fry for a while, so that the taro won’t fall apart when it’s steaming.”

After Chen Yan fished out the pork belly, he then put the taro into the frying pan.

"It's almost done, you can take it out." The taro is relatively thin, and it will be covered by the oil when it is poured in, so there is no need to turn it over when frying. When the taro in a pot is fried, it will be taken out all at once. .The surface of taro that has been deep-fried has hardened. It is not delicious to eat directly now. It will not be delicious until it is steamed with the meat in the pan.

Fried taro is to prevent the taro from falling apart during the steaming process. The taro in their house is very powdery. If it spreads out, the meat will be all taro.But after frying, you don't have to worry about this problem.

"Caiyun Caixia, wait for the oil to cool down before pouring it out."

"Hey, okay."

"You cut this meat into thin slices, and we will steam it later. We have a lot of dishes today, so just steam one piece, and save the rest for tomorrow's meal." They deep-fried six pieces at a time Pork belly, the pork skin of the fried pork belly is crispy, which is different from the pork skin that is usually boiled.

What Josh likes to eat most is the skin of the meat, especially after steaming, the skin is a bit soft after absorbing the soup, and the taste is even better.

Chen Yan must be good at cutting meat, let him cut it thin and make it thin, and cut it thick to make it thick.

"Will a piece of meat be a little short? Why don't we cut half a piece more." After seeing Chen Yan cut a piece of meat, Josh felt that it was a bit short, so he asked Chen Yan to cut an extra half piece, so that they can eat tonight You can eat all you can!

After the pork belly is cut, put it in a bowl with the taro, clamp a piece of taro and a piece of meat like this, and put the remaining pieces of taro directly on the surface.

Make a sauce with soy sauce, sugar, and salt, pour it over the meat, and place the meat on top of a steamer to steam.

It happened to be accompanied by a pot of steamed meat, put it in the steamer and steam it in a pot.

"Okay, this will take about half an hour to steam. By the time we serve dinner, it should be ready." Half an hour is about an hour, and it will take about an hour for them to finish the other dishes later. up.

After dealing with the most troublesome dish, they continued to prepare braised pork trotters.

Today I killed a pig with four trotters, and kept two trotters for eating. I ate one today and kept one for tomorrow, and the remaining two were made into cured trotters.Thinking that it would take a long time to cook the pig's trotters, Josh said, "We have to cook the pig's trotters quickly, otherwise the time will be too short to cook the pig's trotters soft."

"Master, let me do this. After I learn it, next time if you want to eat, master, let us cook." What Caixia likes most is when their master cooks in the kitchen, so that they can follow along Cooking skills, I don't know where their master learned so many dishes, many of which she has never heard of.

But I have to admit that their master's craftsmanship is better than theirs. Every time their master cooks, they can have a full meal.

"That's fine, you can do it." Josh stepped aside and let Caixia come over to pick up the spoon, and he was in charge of commanding, "The pig's trotters need to be boiled in cold water...yes, wait for the water to boil Let’s boil the blood and then fish it out.”

Just at this time, the oil in the pot has been filled, and the empty pot can be used for cooking.

"Put sugar in the pot...yes, put a little more, slowly stir it over a low heat, pour the pig's trotters in, stir-fry for color...it's ok, it's almost there."

"Caiyun go and bring me a chair." Tired after standing for a while, Josh asked someone to move a chair for him to sit on. Be more comfortable.

Seeing that Caixia is skilled in cooking, compared to the two maids, Caixia's cooking is better, while Caiyun's cooking is slightly worse.

So now Caixia stays at home to do things, and Caiyun goes to the shop in the town to help.

Seeing the color of the pig's trotters in the pot, Josh continued: "Put in star anise leaves, cinnamon bark, tangerine peel and ginger slices, and continue to stir fry... Add pepper, light soy sauce, a little vinegar, and a spoonful of white wine... Pour in water, cover the lid and cook, be careful not to let the pot burn dry, wait until the soup is half full before adding salt, then use high heat to collect the juice, and wait for the soup to dry up. "

Chen Yan didn't leave after he had nothing to do, he just stood behind Josh and watched others cook.In the past, he was not interested in these things, but recently he found that cooking is also a good thing, so he wants to learn how to cook from others.

"Is our soup ready?"

"Yes, master, it's already stewing in the pot."

Josh looked around the kitchen, none of the stoves were empty, and every pot was either cooking soup or stewing meat.

They are cooking yam pork rib soup tonight, the rice is already cooked, and the dumplings are wrapped.Both the taro braised pork and the steamed pork with flour have been steamed in the steamer, the braised pork trotters have also been cooked, and the stewed pork has also been stewed, and there are only two dishes that have not been fried.

Seeing that there was nothing to do in the kitchen for the time being, he wanted to go outside to get some fresh air.

"Call me after the pig's trotters are cooked. We're going to cook two people before we're ready to eat. Remember to remind me to cook the dumplings." Otherwise, he's afraid that he will forget to cook the dumplings when he gets busy.

"Okay, master, go out, we are enough here." Caixia said.

"Ah Yan has nothing to do here, let's go out for a walk." Two people in the kitchen are enough, Josh called Chen Yan to go out with him.

Chen Yan hummed, and went out together behind Josh.

"Are you tired?" After a busy day, they didn't go back to take a nap at noon today because they were too busy. If they were tired, they were a bit tired, but after the most sleepy moment at noon, Josh didn't feel sleepy at all. up.

There is a fire in the kitchen and he has to work. He still feels hot inside, but when the wind blows outside, he feels a little cold.

"I'm not tired. Are you tired? Do you want to go back to the house and rest for a while?" Chen Yan's eyes fell on Josh's slightly protruding stomach, knowing that Josh's stomach has been around for more than four months.

Although he has not conceived a child yet, he has also heard that it is not easy for his brother to get pregnant, and he needs to rest more after he is pregnant.

But he saw that Josh was busy from morning to night all day long, so he never stopped.

"Fortunately, it's not too tired." The person who said he wasn't tired saw the stool outside, and sat down on the stool the next moment.

After sitting down, thinking of the sentence he said earlier, Josh felt a little slapped in the face, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Chen Yan: "You sit down too. Don't stand still, I will raise my head to talk to you They all look up at you."

Hearing this, Chen Yan sat down with Josh outside.

"A group of them are not at home, and I feel that the house has become quieter all of a sudden." A large group of people in the family have gone to work in the field, and only a few of them are left at home, and the children's laughter is less. , the house seemed a little quieter.

Josh thought that when there were no his mother and Chen Yan in the past, there was only him, Master Zhao and their children in their family. Now that there are many more people in the family, it is very lively every day.

Now that their house is so big, each of them lives in a courtyard, there is no conflict between them, and their relationship is relatively harmonious, so living together is quite good.

Thinking of what my brother-in-law said a few days ago that he wanted to have supper, Josh turned his head and said to Chen Yan: "Xiaohu said that he wanted to have supper at night, you guys should look for a bigger store in the town, one with a backyard One, otherwise you will have to rent another yard to live in, and it will be a little troublesome."

"Well, we are also discussing this." Chen Yan replied.

The two talked a little bit about this matter, and Josh also gave some suggestions, the main decision was Chen Yan and their uncle.
