Village Flowers and Female Scholars

This morning I bought ribs, pork belly and three delicacies of pigs. Xie Yan planned to stew the radish and pork ribs together. As for the pork belly, of course it is to be used as Dongpo pork. Sweet brother loves to eat it. Zhuang Wan’s ice scum seems to be quite good Like to eat sweet look.

When I went to the farmer's vegetable garden, I saw that the yard was full of vegetables, some of the leaves were too old to eat, Xie Yan felt sorry for it, and the plan to raise rabbits came to mind again.

Pulled out a radish, a few scallions and garlic and a handful of green vegetables.

After they got home, Xie Yan went into the kitchen to cook, Zhuang Wan stood at the door and asked, "Do you want me to help wash the vegetables?"

Xie Yan smiled: "It's not said that your parents love you very much, they have pampered you since you were a child, and I dare not manipulate you as you are so untouchable."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wan's face was a little gloomy, she didn't say anything, and went straight to her room to write the script.

While busy with work, Xie Yan was thinking about Zhuang Wan's expression just now. Although she didn't know the reason for her unhappiness, she thought that she might be in a bad mood because she mentioned her deceased parents, so she wiped her hands and followed to the room. When she saw Zhuang Wan Sitting there grinding the ink, he stepped forward a little fawningly and said, "I'll help you grind it."

Zhuang Wan looked up at her and said, "Why don't you cook here?"

"Seeing that you are in a bad mood, I'm here to coax you."

Zhuang Wan's originally depressed mood slowed down significantly after hearing her words, and she lifted her chin slightly and said, "I'm not a child, so I don't need you to coax me."

Xie Yan shook her head: "You don't need it, but I want to coax you."

As soon as the words fell, both of them felt that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong. Zhuang Wan coughed lightly and lowered her head uncomfortably to start writing. Xie Yan couldn't help but hide a smile in her eyes when she saw her naive look.

It was not too early to finish grinding the ink, so I reluctantly went back to the kitchen.

When building a house, the stoves used by the workers are common firewood-saving stoves in rural areas, with two burners.

Xie Yan raised the stoves on both sides, and while cooking rice, he blanched the pork belly to make Dongpo pork. The brazier in the center of the kitchen also turned on the fire to stew the pork ribs.

After arranging all this, take advantage of the time between cooking rice and blanching pork belly, wash the freshly picked green vegetables, green onion and garlic sprouts for later use, and peel the radish and cut it into hob pieces.

Take the blanched pork belly and cut it into large square pieces, and then tie the meat pieces with hemp rope. This will not only look good, but also the meat will not lose its shape when cooked, and the meat quality will remain tight. real taste.This piece of pork belly is not fat, so Xie Yan didn't fry it again. After laying a layer of scallions and ginger slices, the meat was neatly stacked in a jar, and she added the meat she bought at the market earlier. Some cinnamon star anise and other spices, then pour some sauce and sugar cubes into it, pour water over the meat cubes, cover the lid and start boiling.

Then, wash and clean the bought vermicelli sausage and other delicacies repeatedly and cut them up for later use.

After preparing these, the pork belly and ribs on the stove exuded a strong meaty aroma. Xie Yan opened the lid of the earthenware pot, and the pork belly in the pot had already turned a beautiful golden yellow color, and the strong caramel taste also rushed to the face. She took the chopsticks and turned the pieces of Dongpo meat one by one, then covered the lid and continued to simmer over low heat.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the door, he turned his head and saw that the female scholar who was known for her seriousness was looking into the kitchen with her head on her head.

"What, are you hungry?"

Zhuang Wan's face turned slightly red, and she walked into the kitchen with her hands behind her back: "I can smell what you're cooking in the next room."

"Dongpo pork."

"Dongpo pork?"

Xie Yan heard Zhuang Wan's doubts, and then remembered that although this dynasty was an extension of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties did not appear, and Su Dongpo's name did not appear in history, so he quickly changed his words: "It's sugar meat."

"Did you put sugar in and cook together?"

Xie Yan noticed that the woman had obviously swallowed a small sip of water from her throat, and couldn't bear to embarrass her, she lowered her head and pretended to be busy but secretly raised the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, the voices of Granny Yu and Xie Yuangu's voices came from outside the door, mixed with the barking of dogs, and Xie Yuangu's footsteps were heard running towards the kitchen from afar.

"Sister, what did you cook that smells delicious?"

"Little greedy cat, of course it's cooking meat."

Seeing that the people working in the fields came back, Xie Yan hurriedly poured the chopped radishes into the hot pork rib soup on the stove, and briefly adjusted the seasoning. When the other dishes were served later, the radishes were just ripe.

The Dongpo meat has just collected the juice, and it is directly served on the table with the pot and the lid, so that the residual temperature of the clay pot continues to simmer.

Then began to stir-fry the three delicacies of pigs. The most important thing for oil frying is the heat. The oil needs to be rich and the oil temperature should be high. It is rare to have a good meal. Xie Yan is not stingy with this oil. When the oil temperature rises and almost smokes, pour in the cut pork offal, stir fry quickly, then add celery, garlic sprouts, salt and other ingredients, stir fry a few times and it will be out of the pan.

Stir frying over high heat all at once, the whole smell of onion, ginger and garlic sprouts came out, and the few people who were washing their hands in the yard were all greedy.

"Oh, what good food does this little Jin'er cook? It smells so good that the old woman's nose is going to explode."

Even Cao E, who has always been restrained, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, not to mention Xie Yuangu, and ran directly to the kitchen to circle around Xie Yan.

When the three delicacies are out of the pan, only the green vegetables are left, and the green vegetables are easier to cook. Once the oil melts, add the crushed garlic, stir fry a few times and add salt to the pan.

As soon as the vegetables were served, Cao E quickly got up to serve soup and rice for the big guys. Xie Yuangu had been greedy for a long time, but he was well educated by Cao E since he was a child. Looking at the pieces of Dongpo meat in the earthenware pot with golden yellow and translucent exuding sweet taste.

"Grandma Yu, mother, scholar, move your chopsticks quickly." Then the big guys picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Xie Yan put a piece of Dongpo meat into Xie Yuangu's bowl with the first chopstick, the little guy's eyes lit up immediately, and he bit the Dongpo meat with one bite.

"Wuuu, sister, it's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious meat. It's so delicious." Xie Yuangu couldn't think of any words to describe the deliciousness in his mouth.

Xie Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "That's what you said when you ate the chicken from Granny Yu's house last time."

Everyone laughed when they heard it. Xie Yan turned to look at Zhuang Wan who just took a small bite. Her expression was not as exaggerated as Xie Yuangu's, but after taking this bite, she could still feel the subtle changes on the other's face, even the eyebrows. They were all stretched out, their lips were stained with red sauce, and their cheeks were slightly puffed up, looking a little more lively than usual.

Seeing that Xie Yan was looking at her, Zhuang Wan stopped her chopsticks and said, "It's smooth and refreshing, articulate, fat but not greasy, sweet and delicious."

Xie Yan knew that she guessed correctly, this guy likes to eat sweet dishes.

However, Cao E and Yu Po were not so addicted to sugar when they were a little older, but the hot plate of stir-fried delicacies just served was more suitable for their appetites, and they were full of praise with two chopsticks.

In addition to ginger slices and radishes, Xie Yan went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms and left some to dry at home. Now I just put them in and stew with the ribs. At this moment, the faint smell of mushrooms fills the tip of the nose, making my index finger big move.

"Xiao Jin'er, your cooking skills are really good. It's the first time for an old woman to eat such delicious three delicacies. The heat is just right, not old at all, and the crunch is really fragrant."

Xie Yan hurriedly said: "Grandma, you have bad teeth, try this candy meat."

Yu Po obediently picked up a piece, and after swallowing it in one bite, she was also amazed: "Xiao Jin'er, this sugar meat is so soft and soft that it melts in the mouth, the old lady swallowed her tongue."

As a chef, Xie Yan's culinary skills are recognized by others, so she is naturally satisfied.

This meal was a feast for the guests and the host. Dongpo pork is undoubtedly the most popular dish on the table, but I only bought two catties of pork, and there is not much left after a meal. It will soon bottom out.

Because Xie Yuangu is the youngest, everyone saw that he likes this sweet Dongpo meat, and because of his short hands, you also picked up several pieces for him, making his mouth slippery. Xie Yan was afraid of him Eating too much all at once made me sick to my stomach, picked up the only piece left in the pot, turned the chopsticks, and put it in Zhuang Wan's bowl.

Xie Yan sat close to her and knew that she also liked Dongpo meat, but this person has always been reserved and didn't pinch him too much, that's why he came out.

Seeing that the last piece of meat belonged to Zhuang Wan's bowl, Xie Yuangu looked over enviously, but after all, she was his favorite scholar sister, and felt that he had eaten enough, so he blinked and smiled embarrassedly , Cao E brought him other dishes at the right time, and the child's mind was taken to another place.

On the other hand, Zhuang Wan watched the last piece of Dongpo meat fall into her bowl, paused with the chopsticks in her hands, touched her long eyelashes up and down, lowered her head, took a small bite, and chewed softly.

After a meal, Granny Yu had nothing else to do, and cleaned up the kitchen with Cao E. Zhuang Wan was not in a hurry at this time, and stood in the yard pacing to eat.

Xie Yan thought of the paper and beeswax she bought today, and began to tinker with the wax paper.

"What's this?"

Zhuang Wan who sat over couldn't help asking.

"It's hard to say now. I can explain it to you when I figure it out. Maybe it won't work. It's just for fun."

That's what he said, but Xie Yan still desperately hopes that the wax paper can be successfully tinkered with. Once the simple mimeograph machine can be made, in the future, the script will not need to be hand-copied by others, and hundreds of copies can be printed in one edition, with small profits. Even if a volume is only a few hundred taels, ten copies is a few taels, and a hundred copies is a few dozen taels, this business is real.

Seeing that she couldn't find anything to ask, Zhuang Wan didn't ask any further, but just squatted aside and watched her fiddling with thoughtfulness in her eyes.

The author has something to say: write a daily routine to be lazy, and I will publish a chapter today
