rebirth through food

Sugar mixed tomatoes

"What?" Ye Laosan was thinking about his own concerns, and didn't pay much attention to his wife's words.

"I said, let's expose this matter to them and let the villagers know that they are using this kind of thing. The village will definitely not be able to accommodate them. By then..." The third daughter-in-law thought happily of all the wonderful things .Ever since Ye Laoer's family came back, the anger of being compared everywhere has become a thorn. Over the years, it has already become a scar in her heart, and it hurts when she touches it.

Now suddenly there is an opportunity to completely expel this family from her life circle, which makes the third daughter-in-law feel a little excited.

"You silly bitch!" The third child scolded angrily, "You know nothing."

"What? You scolded me for a thousand dollars...I..." The third daughter-in-law was going to get angry, but was stopped by the third daughter, "Think about it carefully, since this kind of thing is so profitable, they can do it, why can't we do it? snort!"

"You mean...we'll grab the business?" The third daughter-in-law immediately beamed with joy when she heard that she could make money, and put aside all the unhappiness in her heart just now.She saw with her own eyes that a person who could not even eat black batter in the past, now eats white noodles, which naturally shows that this thing can make a lot of money. "Then I'll go find Chen Tu now, and we'll take care of his family's water in the future."

"It's done? So what, it's your skill." Ye Laosan sneered.

"Ye Lao San, what do you mean, let me tell you..."

"Come here, I'll tell you..." Ye Laosan called his mother-in-law to her side, whispered something in her ear, and the third wife's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

"What are you doing to lie to you, hum." Ye Laosan sneered, a smug look flashed across his face.

Compared with Ye Lao San's family, Ye Xiaofeng's family and Zhang Da father and son had a very hearty meal.

Several dishes are meat dishes, which make people want to stop. The hot pork heart is salty, fresh and charred, the tip of the liver is smooth and tender, and the meat slices are boiled with eggplant, not to mention the crispy meat and eggplant. eat.And the most special is the cold tomato salad.

Except for Ye Xiaofeng, the others didn't take this dish seriously, and even a few of them thought it was a waste to use sugar, which is considered an expensive seasoning.

After everyone was full with wine and food, their mouths felt a little greasy, and they seldom eat meat. The first few meat dishes they ate were delicious, but their mouths were indeed a little greasy.

Ye Xiaofeng picked up a slice of tomato, the white sugar on it was already soaked in the rich juice of the tomato, it tasted smooth and sweet, just enough to get rid of the greasy feeling in the mouth.

Seeing the expression of enjoyment on Ye Xiaofeng's face when he ate it, the other three couldn't help stretching out their chopsticks, because they knew that if Ye Xiaofeng, a foodie, thought it was delicious, the taste would definitely be the same.

Soon, a slice of tomato soaked in sugar juice entered the mouths of everyone, and the sweet and juicy taste instantly conquered everyone. However, although two tomatoes are not a lot, it is still a bit small for five people.Under everyone's expectant eyes, Ye Xiaofeng resigned himself to his fate and jumped off the kang, went to the garden and picked a few red and big tomatoes, cut them into slices and spread them on a plate full of soup, and gritted his teeth to scoop them up again. Sprinkle with a spoonful of sugar.

Half a catty of white sugar has already gone down by three points.

Everyone was [-]% full, but after eating this refreshing cold dish, they could still eat it. In the end, they even ate up the soup.

Zhang Da and his son said goodbye and went home in embarrassment. Ye Xiaofeng and his sister cleaned up the dishes and went back to the West Chamber.

"Brother, thank you." Lan'er said embarrassedly.

"Ah?" Ye Xiaofeng was bewildered, but it was only when he saw the upper in Lan'er's hand that he suddenly understood.The little girl thanked him for buying her clothes, shoe uppers and other things today, and couldn't help reaching out and snoring at the head with two braids in her heart, "Little girl, it's not right for brother to hurt you."

The whole afternoon, the three members of the Ye family did not go out.Father Ye drank too much and fell asleep badly.Lan'er and Ye Xiaofeng both took a nap, Lan'er got up and carefully put the newly bought uppers on the soles of the shoes, while Ye Xiaofeng went to see the soy sauce he made, and soaked the newly bought soybeans by the way.

But this time he is not going to make soy sauce, but yellow sauce.Yellow sauce is easier to make than soy sauce, and the recipe Ye Xiaofeng memorized is simple and easy to follow. Thinking about the noodles with diced meat and fried sauce, Ye Xiaofeng's mouth is watering.The dozens of catties of newly bought soybeans are washed to remove impurities, just like brewing soy sauce. These beans are boiled in a pot until they are crushed by hand.Different from the last time, the soybeans this time are very fresh, unlike the half bag he found in the barn, they are old soybeans and don't need to be soaked for too long.

After cooking the soybeans, Ye Xiaofeng went to the barn to search again. He remembered seeing a small mill a few days ago, which was not big enough for him to grind the cooked soybeans.

The beans were cooking on the fire, Lan'er was helping to light the fire while putting away the shoes, Ye Xiaofeng was carrying a bucket of water, ready to push the stone mill out for cleaning.The stone mill is small, but it is also made of pure stone, and its weight is not light at all.

When Father Ye got up together, he saw his youngest son struggling to push the stone mill. The small slimming plate is actually not much higher than the millstone, but the weight must be a lot worse.Father Ye saw his youngest son struggling, even though it was funny, he also felt an indescribable distress, so he hurried over to take the millstone over a few steps.

When the family was together, I was in charge of farming and my wife was in charge of housework. At that time, there were a lot of fields, and life was easy for the family. They even hired a few helpers.But since his wife became ill, the family's savings and land were sold and pawned, and the family's fortunes fell.

In order to treat his wife's illness, the eldest son took some money and went out to find a miracle doctor, but he disappeared since then. He didn't even see his wife again when he died.His wife passed away, and the eldest son also disappeared, leaving only the second son, the younger son, and the daughter by Father Ye's side.

At that time, the second child Ye Xingfeng was only seven years old, Ye Xiaofeng was even younger, only three years old, and Lan'er was just able to climb.

Father Ye took care of the three children by himself. Except for Ye Singfeng who could help with some work, the other children were still at an age that needed to be taken care of by adults.The whole family is struggling. A few years ago, Father Ye bought the only livestock in the family for the future of Ye Singfeng, and sent Ye Singfeng to the Qingshan School to learn art. Although he was only an outside disciple, Father Ye still rewarded him great hope.

As for Ye Xiaofeng, Ye's father reported even greater expectations, but Ye Xiaofeng hadn't passed the test a few years ago, and the Qingshan faction only took away Ye Bingfeng as a disciple.Father Ye can only hope that Ye Xiaofeng, like Ye Jingfeng, has a relatively slow awakening physique.After waiting for a few years to test again, he can be selected by the Qingshan faction.

This is also the reason why Father Ye has worked so hard to save money in the past few years.

But now that Father Ye sees that in order to save money, he saves money, eats coarse food all day long, and raises two children who are thin and small, so there is no need to mention the sadness and self-blame in his heart.

It was because of his inability to make money that made the two children starve like this, and it was also because of his inability that he forced the children to go out to make money by themselves.

Helping Ye Xiaofeng put the millstone in place, Ye's father silently began to help with the scrubbing, and even took away most of Ye Xiaofeng's work.

Ye Xiaofeng glanced at Ye's father, but didn't speak. The father and son worked together to clean the millstone. Ye Xiaofeng wiped his sweat with one hand and smiled brilliantly.

The beans will be cooked in the pot for a while, Ye Xiaofeng sees that it is getting late, and prepares to start cooking.

At noon, I only stir-fried a small portion of pork belly, and the remaining half was stored in a bowl. Ye Xiaofeng boiled the leftover brown rice with water, cut the tripe into thin strips, and found a piece of young ginger, which was also thinly sliced. cut into shreds.

When the brown rice porridge is cooked, sprinkle the long-cooked soft and rotten belly shreds, shredded ginger, fine salt, etc., stir evenly with a spoon, and season with a pinch of green onion and coriander before serving.

In the days when seasoning is lacking, these natural spices are needed to season.The green onion and coriander can not only raise the fragrance of the porridge to a new level, but also suppress the fishy smell that still exists in the tripe shreds, making the tripe shreds and rice porridge a more perfect fusion.

The father and son sat around the kang table, each eating a bowl of delicious food.Since it is porridge made from rice at noon, the porridge is more likely to be soft and rotten. With ingredients such as tripe shreds, it is extra delicious and luscious in the mouth.

Belly silk porridge can replenish deficiency and damage, replenish qi and quench thirst, and is beneficial to children with yellow and thin.Almost all of their family are yellow and thin, so they are very suitable for eating.

And this tripe porridge is the simplest and basic medicinal diet, but it's a pity that the kitchen conditions and seasonings can't meet it, so it can only be made to do so.

Although simple, the family eats deliciously.

After dinner, Ye Xiaofeng took out the cooked soybeans and let them cool.These soybeans have been boiled until they will crumble with a slight pinch, which is just the right time for making yellow sauce.

Grabbing a few handfuls of vegetable leaves, the siblings tidied up the yard and entered the house for the newly bought little rabbit and the two old hens that they seldom took care of these days.

Ye Xiaofeng and his sister went back to the west wing to make the bed. Lan'er put the pine nut candies bought during the day on Ye Xiaofeng's bedside, and put them down together, as well as a pair of blue thick cotton shoes.In one afternoon, Lan'er had already packed her shoes, and also made a pair for Father Ye and Ye Xiaofeng by the way.

The soles of the shoes have already been put in, as long as the uppers are cut and put on with strong twine.

After making three pairs of shoes in one afternoon, Ye Xiaofeng suddenly felt moved and grabbed Lan'er's hand unexpectedly.

Sure enough, the palm of the hand was already bloodstained because of pulling the thread hard. Although the skin and flesh were closed at this moment, I can imagine how painful it was at that time.

Ye Xiaofeng touched his sister's hand, his nose sore and tears fell down.

"Brother, brother..." Lan'er looked like she had done something wrong, but when she saw Ye Xiaofeng crying, she panicked.

Ye Xiaofeng went to the low cabinet at the top of the kang and took out the medicine that Ye Bingfeng had left for him, and gently rubbed Lan'er's wounds. "Lan'er, brother... will let you live a good life."

"Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Don't worry bro, the noodles are ready, I've already washed and blanched the remaining half of the shepherd's purse, and I can make the stuffing when I wake up tomorrow."

"Yeah." Ye Xiaofeng blew out the candle and lay down, but his mind was very disturbed. The things in the jade talisman are what he needs urgently now. What are the conditions for unlocking other chapters?

After spending another night in the God of Cookery Tower, although it seemed that he hadn't slept all night, his spirit was not bad, and Ye Xiaofeng didn't feel sleepy at all.

After being woken up by Lan'er, she rolled over and jumped out of bed.After rinsing, he found that the minced meat had already been chopped and cooked by Father Ye, and mixed with the same chopped shepherd's purse.

The noodles have been reconciled, except for the small part reserved for wrapping the wonton sheet, most of the others were placed on the stove yesterday, and they have already fermented by now.

After a few days of running-in, the division of labor between the several people has become extremely clear. Lan'er is in charge of boiling soup and lighting the fire, Father Ye is in charge of frying sesame seed cakes and sausages, and Ye Xiaofeng is in charge of rolling sesame seed cakes and wrapping wontons.The family is very busy.

Because there is no market in the village today, only people from the village come to eat, so the Ye family does not buy much.

It can be said that everyone is still very satisfied. Although there is no mushroom in today's wonton soup, today Ye Xiaofeng deliberately cut the salted liver made yesterday into thin slices, and sent a small dish to every table.Everyone was eating the delicious pork liver, and they all curiously asked what kind of meat it was. Ye Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously at everyone, "Everyone, uncles, this is a rare good thing. If you feel good after eating it, I will tell you what it is." .I promise, this is an extremely cheap, but nutritious meat."
