my home is in the northeast

25. White rice, stewed pork ribs

After driving the car into the house and parked in the courtyard, Zhang Changgui also came back from a stroll.

"Bought the car back?" Zhang Changgui's face showed joy, regardless of whether it was a new car or a second-hand car, his family already had a car. "What's in this car?"

"Add some more varieties to the vegetables I bought." Zhang Yuhe smiled and opened the door of the cellar, intending to put these vegetables in.We can't wait for this one, otherwise it will freeze overnight. This is not persimmon and autumn pear.

Zhang Yuwei picked out some like a basin. These vegetarian dishes can be marinated tonight, and they don't have to be sold hot.

"Then you don't need to buy so many." A box of eggs was moved to the main room, and it was not safe to put it in the cellar, but other things were fine.

"I bought it at the wholesale market. It's cheap. Besides, we can eat it ourselves, stewed pork belly with kelp." Zhang Yuhe felt like drooling just thinking about it.

"Hurry up and finish the meal." The ribs in the cauldron have not been filled, and the residual heat of the stove makes the ribs still steaming.

"It's alright, it's alright." Zhang Yuhe closed the cellar door and closed the outer door before going to wash his face and hands.

Don't look at the cold outside, but the room is very hot, especially the kang head, which is so hot that sometimes the kang mats spread on it will smell of burnt.

The kang table had been set up long ago, and there were several vegetarian dishes on it. Sun Cuifang put a pot of ribs in the middle of the kang table, "Let's eat."

The crystal clear rice was soft, glutinous and fragrant. Zhang Yuhe took a bite first, the taste was slightly sweet, and then he picked up a large piece of steak and took a bite.

Take a bite of the thick but soft and tasty pork ribs, and the feeling that the meat fills your mouth is really satisfying.Zhang Yuhe wanted to let out the sound of 'oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up' with that kind of feeling of satisfaction and sublimation all over his body.

Although the ribs are not from the same day, they are almost quick-frozen in the weather of a natural refrigerator, which locks in the umami.Coupled with Sun Cuifang's skillful cooking, this kind of taste that is most familiar to her mother since she was a child, is definitely the taste that best suits her taste buds in life.

Zhang Yuhe almost gnawed a whole piece of pork ribs with emotion.Because of the high heat of the stew, even the bones are a little soft, and the meat has already been deboned, and it enters the mouth with a light suction.

Seeing Zhang Yuhe eating with great concentration, Sun Cuifang and Zhang Changgui looked at each other and smiled.This child has loved to eat since he was a child, and the way he eats is very delicious. Just watching him eat makes people feel hungry.

"Father, why don't you eat, why are you looking at me?" Zhang Yuhe touched his face subconsciously, and found that there was nothing on his face.

"It's okay. Let's eat too." The couple ate separately.

"Why don't you eat so many ribs?" Seeing that neither of them were eating meat, Zhang Yuhe quickly reached out his chopsticks to pick up a big piece for each of them, and another piece for Zhang Yuwei. Meat still has to be eaten by me. Dad, Mom, Third Sister, I have the ability to let everyone live a good life now, work hard to eat meat!"

"Okay, my sister is counting on you to support me in this life." Zhang Yuwei said with a smile.

"That's a must. Make sure you eat and drink well, and I'll find you a good man." Zhang Yuhe chuckled.

A family of four ate together, and only half of the pot of ribs was eaten.After dinner and a short rest, everyone started to get busy.

Although it was dark outside, it was actually only past seven o'clock.

Sun Cuifang killed the chicken, Zhang Changgui cut up the pork, and the Zhang family siblings sat on a bench in the main room and cleaned up the vegetables.

Today, not only did I buy a lot of kelp and shiitake mushrooms, but I also bought a hundred catties of dried tofu.

Yesterday's dried tofu was stewed one by one, today Zhang Yuhe plans to change it.A few sheets of dried tofu are rolled up and tied with thin threads blanched in boiling water to form a firm tofu roll.It will remain the same if you cut it directly after it comes out of the marinade, which is more convenient and tastes better.

After Zhang Yuwei washed the kelp, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, radishes, potatoes and other ingredients, she saw Zhang Yuhe tying up dried tofu. She found it interesting and got busy.

This time Zhang Yuhe prepared a pot of marinated ingredients according to the recipe. Since they are all vegetarian dishes, he also specially prepared the recipe.

The reason why I didn't put it in the pot of sauced meat was mainly because I was afraid that it would spoil the taste of the meat.But for stewed vegetables, a little meat flavor is good.Zhang Yuhe thought about it, and simply processed the remaining spare ribs, and poured them into the pot first, and then stewed various dishes after the smell came out.

Zhang Changgui divided a piece of pork and cut it into square meat of different sizes. The remaining corners and slivers of meat were processed and brought over. Pork in marinated soup and sauce is fine."

Zhang Yuhe was dumbfounded, yes, why didn't he think of that.

Zhang Changgui couldn't help laughing at the expression of his clever son since he was a child, "It's still too late, tell me what you changed?"

After Zhang Yuhe talked about the seasonings he prepared, Zhang Changgui nodded, "You're not bad, you have some brains. That's fine, you should marinate your dishes according to your wishes, and let's see how your modified recipe turns out."

"En!" With Zhang Changgui's affirmation, Zhang Yuhe was full of confidence, and Zhang Yuhe took all the leftover meat that Zhang Changgui didn't want to enrich his stewed soup.Said to be the corners, the pieces of meat are not small, they are all the size of a girl's fist, and they all have to weigh seven or eight catties.

"Don't look at it, it won't be mushy. Let it cook slowly." Zhang Changgui entered the room.

Sun Cuifang had already finished her busy work, and Zhang Yuhe killed five of the dozen or so chickens she bought in one go.These chickens are big, each weighs about four catties. They are farm chickens, and the price is much cheaper.Because he bought a lot, he was five yuan a catty, and a chicken was more than 20 yuan.

These chickens are not stupid chickens that are free-range in the backyard, but broiler chickens. The price is cheap and the taste is naturally relatively poor.But it does bring the price down a bit.After all, I have only raised these twenty chickens, and I have eaten almost one-third of them in the past few days.

With such a large chicken, it is estimated that buying a whole chicken is rare. Zhang Changgui suggested that she keep two whole chickens, and break down the remaining three chickens into various parts and sell them by the catty.

After finishing the work, the family of four sat on the hot kang and chatted about the car bought today, about today's income, and peeled the hard-boiled eggs by the way.

Zhang Changgui is not a talkative person, sometimes he is even very silent, so Sun Cuifang doesn't know how much he sold today.When the children said that they sold a pig today, their hands trembled in fright, and they said in a trembling voice, "Yu Baoer, did you really sell it for so much money?"

"Well, really. Mom, we can earn this much money every day in the future, and more."

"My mother." Sun Cuifang hurriedly patted her chest. This was not a surprise to her, it was a fright.

Sun Cuifang's expressions made the Zhang family siblings laugh.Chatting and chatting, it was almost time, Zhang Yuhe and Zhang Changgui went down to the kang to see the stewed soup in the boiler.

Although it is not as good as the old stew, the taste of the pot of stewed soup is different when a little meat is added, with a strong aroma.

"Okay, put everything in." Zhang Changgui took a sip and nodded.

Zhang Yuhe marinated various ingredients in order according to the maturity time.It is not easy to cook or not afraid to cook for a while, but afraid to cook later.Such as kelp and dried tofu are not afraid of being mixed with other dishes, so they have been cooking underneath. Potatoes and shiitake mushrooms can be fished out after a period of time.

Woke up early in the morning and didn't take a nap at noon, Zhang Yuhe dozed off a bit, knocking his head on the stove before fully waking up.

"What's the matter, Yu Baoer?"

"It's okay, Mom." Zhang Yuhe rubbed his head and wanted to cry, but nothing was easy. It's not easy to make some money.I still have to make it bigger quickly, and when everyone knows about Zhang’s Sauce Meat, there’s no need to go to the market from village to village.

But it's useless to think so much. Now that my career has just started, I have to grit my teeth and persevere.

When these vegetables are all marinated, it will be past ten o'clock.Zhang Yuhe was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. After a simple wash, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep in a second.

In the dream, Zhang Yuhe became a capable person. He could cook stewed vegetables and sauced meat in minutes with a wave of his big hand. People lined up to buy his sauced meat from the door of his house all the way to □□.He stood on the roof of his house looking up and laughing.

Suddenly a familiar face appeared next to him, looking at him quietly...
