Come on!Foodie!

The thing about staying in the county inn was naturally not approved by Mumu children's shoes, so the driver was still Comrade Wang Erbao who worked tirelessly but felt a little regretful.

The light of the lantern is really limited, but fortunately Comrade Da Zhuang didn't forget to bring a lantern.In addition, there are many donkey carts, mule carts, and ox carts going back and forth, so there is basically no problem seeing the road.Instead, Xiaoyang and Mumu experienced a night travel experience they had never had before.

The moonlight is not bright tonight, the clouds in the sky block most of the moonlight and stars.The farther you are from the county seat, the darker the surroundings will be. The lanterns and wind lanterns, including the lights of passers-by before and after, can only illuminate the place near your own car.So under the sky, the woods, mountains, heaven and earth, and even the passing villages were all immersed in darkness.If one or two people act in such an environment, they will definitely feel a little fear, which is the instinctive resistance of people to darkness.But today it feels very different.It may be that there are many people in a good mood. The mountain peaks in the distance that can only be recognized in the sky have a different kind of beauty.

On the way back to the village, Xiaoyang suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach.He recalled the various snacks and snacks he ate when he was visiting the Lantern Festival, and felt that it must be because he ate a lot of sticky food and fried things, but Mu Mu looked very happy and did not feel uncomfortable at all. He suspected that the biggest reason might be that he ate too much.Thinking of this, I thought of some foods that would make feeding very comfortable.Millet porridge, steamed buns, and hot noodle soup.The more he thought about these hot things, the colder the surrounding temperature became.But yes, it's outside in the middle of the night, how can it not be cold in the four-ninth solar term.

Mumu was shaking the lantern in his hand, turned around and saw Xiaoyang staring at the car board in a daze, couldn't help asking: "Xiaoyang, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Yang came back to his senses: "I'm just distracted. I want to drink a bowl of hot millet porridge. It's best served with cucumber dipped in bean paste." After finishing speaking, he clicked his mouth twice.

When the weather is cold, people's appetite will increase.Especially tonight, none of the four of them had a proper dinner, so when Xiao Yang mentioned millet porridge, everyone was a little bit hungry.Comrade Wang Erbao was the most serious: "Speaking of which, I haven't had porridge for a long time! But the noodles made by my family are even better!"

Zhu Hai curled his lips: "Everything my Xiaoyang cooks is delicious!"

The corner of Xiaoyang's mouth twitched, although the words of his comrade Da Zhuang contained flattery, it was really embarrassing.So I couldn't help but glared at him. "By the way, Mumu, you walked around a lot today, did you find anything delicious?"

When it came to the results of the "market survey", Mu Mu also became interested: "I saw several kinds of dim sum, and there is a kind of cake that is rolled with bean flour and sprinkled with sugar, which is delicious. There are jujubes and red bean paste in it." .”

"I've eaten that too. It's not bad, but it's a bit greasy, right?" Xiaoyang had eaten this kind of cold cake in modern times.But at that time, walnuts, large almonds, raisins, sunflower seeds or crushed peanuts will be spread on top.Anyway, it is much richer than what is sold here.But when it comes to the taste, he thinks the one here is better.After all, there are no additives, and the cake itself is purely handmade.The rice and glutinous rice used as ingredients are also very pure.It's a pity that there is too much sugar and the bean paste is too sweet.

Mu Mu nodded: "It's just a bit too sweet. I think it's delicious."

Xiaoyang rolled his eyes: "Mumu, do you have any rice left in your house?"

"I cooked more than half of the pot last night, and there's still a lot left." Regarding Xiaoyang's question, Mumu was a little confused.Could it be that I am really hungry, so I want to ask myself if I have any food?

After calculating that there is still half a pot of leftovers in his house, Xiao Yang nodded: "When you go back, bring the leftovers to me, and I will let you try fresh food at noon tomorrow!"

Mumu blinked: "You mean to use the leftovers to make fresh food?"

Xiao Yang nodded: "Yeah. Anyway, you can take care of it! By the way, today I bought a catty and a half of black sesame stuffed Yuanxiao. Let's divide it up and cook it for supper when we go home."

Er Baobao showed a smile on his face: "I'm really hungry after being nagging you so much. The bowl of Yuanxiao I ate at Sixiangju at noon was salty and sweet. It must not be as delicious as this black sesame!"

Xiaoyang felt the same about this: "To be honest, the Lantern Festival novelty in Sixiangju is a novelty, and the taste is really bad." In fact, if the salted egg yolk is not so salty, and there is only bean paste in it without sugar, The taste will go straight up.

After resting all night without talking, Xiaoyang got up early the next day.

According to the habit of these days, after getting up, I packed the bedding and prepared the feed for the litter of rabbits myself.Of course, the two hens now eat the same food as the rabbits, but they have also gained a lot of fat, running around in the yard all day long.Start making breakfast after feeding the rabbit.At this time, Comrade Zhu Hai must have prepared the pig food and fed it to the pigs.Then the two of them were idle and bored after breakfast.

But after breakfast today, Xiao Yang started to get busy.

There was no pestle and mortar at home, so Xiao Yang picked up the basin and rolling pin.Peeling cooked rice is not as easy as imagined, because the rice is sticky after being cooked, the more sticky the rice, the stronger the stickiness, and the greater the effort required.Fortunately, Xiaoyang doesn't want to make sticky cakes, so he doesn't need to work hard.Of course, the strong and strong children's shoes were reluctant to pay for their own lamb, so they bravely picked up the rolling pin for self-preservation.With his strength and physical strength, it only takes a quarter of an hour to beat so many half-cooked rice until there are only half of the rice grains left.For the food, he thought it was definitely worth it.

Xiaoyang has been preparing to make baked rice balls since last night.As for why he did this, it is also due to his foodie nature.I believe that there is no foodie who does not like to watch food and cooking shows, and Xiaoyang is no exception.This grilled rice ball was something he "improved" after watching an island country program, which can be said to be improvised.

Xiaoyang's method is of course convenient to make and eat at home.So the method is incredibly simple.Mash up the leftover rice, and then make rice cakes about the size of the palm of your hand like kneading dough.Put ingredients such as leftovers or ham sausage in the middle of the rice cake, then close the rice cake, and finally knead it into an oval rice ball.In modern times, he didn’t have a microwave oven or an oven. The easiest way was to fry it directly in an oil pan. Later, he gritted his teeth and bought a roll of tin foil, which was healthier than frying.The key is that the taste is also very different.Pour the oil into the pan, cut the tin foil to a good size and put it on the oil, then put the rice balls on it to heat, so that it can have a baked taste without being touched by the oil.

Of course, tin foil does not exist here, but with such a large stove pit, rice balls can be easily baked without an oven and only with iron nets.

Toppings are not a problem.Xiaoyang took out all three types of meat floss and decided to make rice balls with three fillings.

Most of the bowls of rice ended up being 21 rice balls.Xiao Yang asked Zhu Hai to take the grill net from the oven and put it on the small stove, and then began to arrange the rice balls one by one.After putting it away, he suddenly remembered to adjust some sauce, brushing it on the rice balls would definitely make it more flavorful.

A little salt, a little sugar, a spoonful of soy sauce, a little chili powder, a spoonful of bean paste, a spoonful of sesame seeds, and a spoonful of lard.Use a small iron bowl to put these things on the side of the big stove, and stir the bowl of sauce while watching the fire on the small stove.It didn't take long for the lard, salt and sugar to melt, and of course the iron bowl couldn't be touched by hand at all.

This brush made of pig bristles is a handmade product of my comrade Da Zhuang. According to Xiao Yang's request, it is smaller than a paint brush and much larger than an ordinary writing brush. It is oil.This is an ancient method that Xiao Yang remembered when eating barbecue meat and felt that the salt was spread unevenly.Of course, brushes and magic horses are also very common things here, but I am too lazy to go to the city to buy them.

The aroma of the seasoning sauce on the rice balls quickly entered people's nostrils through the slight white smoke.Zhu Hai sat next to his wife and took a deep breath. "It's delicious."

Xiaoyang is also quite satisfied with the taste of the stove: "Because there is lard, it is so fragrant when roasted. But this thing can't be eaten often."

"Why can't you eat such a good thing?" Even though he hasn't tasted it yet, Zhu Hai is already [-]% sure of the deliciousness of this grilled rice ball.

Xiao Yang turned the restaurant over with chopsticks: "How expensive is rice! But next time I can add some corn stubble and millet to try. Besides, roasted food is not very good for the body, it is hard, eat too much It hurts the stomach." Of course, for him, the most important point is that although rice is not a rare commodity, it is still twice as expensive as other rice such as corn, sorghum rice, and millet.It seems that the next time he wants to buy rice, he must buy half of the brown rice. Firstly, he will save some money. Secondly, he feels that life here is more oily than in modern times. If he does not add some crude fiber, he will suffer from constipation in the future. What to do!My little chrysanthemum is already very pitiful, pitiful, pitiful...

As soon as the rice balls wafted out the fragrance, Er Bao and Mu Mu entered the gate of Lao Zhu's house.

Upon smelling the smell, Erbao immediately widened his eyes: "Is this made with leftover rice? What a guy, I want to cook leftovers every day!"

Xiao Yang glanced at Brother Erbao: "It's a crime to waste food!"

Mu Mu nodded in agreement, but the words in his mouth were: "But it's really delicious! Can I eat it?"

In fact, Mumu's more and more relaxed personality makes Xiaoyang very pleased.But sometimes he is really sincerely yelling that Wang Erbao has ruined the good Lin Shumu. "Not yet, it didn't take too long to bake. But the rice is cooked, so it won't take much longer. What do you two want to eat at noon?"

Mu Mu said: "I want to eat sauerkraut, I'll fry it later. Let's see how you teach it."

Xiao Yang didn't refuse: "Then I'll wait to eat the ready-made pancakes! Oh, yes, I'm also greedy for your pancakes. Let's bake some pancakes later. Let's eat them with sauerkraut!"

Mumu smiled and nodded: "Success! Then I'll go pick up the sauerkraut after you've finished roasting." After speaking, his eyes still stayed on the fragrant rice balls.

Seeing that the three people next to them all look so greedy, Xiao Yang has black lines in his heart.Is it really that like attracts like?Or are foodies always sick and contagious?But funny is funny, the temptation of rice balls is still hard to resist.He poked the rice balls with chopsticks, and looked at the browned rice balls. Xiaoyang believed that the remaining rice balls had already been baked.According to past experience, if the first result is not handed over to my big brother, the consequences will be "serious".

As he wished, he got a baked rice ball. Da Zhuang was not in a hurry to eat it this time, but broke off a piece, put it under his nose, smelled it, blew it, and stretched out his hand to his wife's mouth: "You Eat first."

Xiao Yang was moved.In the eyes of foodies, you are more important than what you eat. What a touching thing!The rice balls in your mouth are burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, with a faint fragrance and meaty smell on the outside, which is really different from the ones "baked" with tin foil before!It will definitely taste better if it is grilled with charcoal or fruit wood!But... "Bite me something with stuffing!"

Only then did Da Zhuang realize that the piece just now had no filling at all.So he quickly blew on the open rice ball and passed it over.Watching Xiao Yang take a bite and then swallow, he couldn't help swallowing.Of course, Xiaoyang thought that Comrade Zhu Hai was greedy for rice balls, but in fact, Brother Da Zhuang was greedy for his wife.

Of course, Brother Erbao and Mumu Children's Shoes have no intention of staying behind.Now that the rice balls are ready, do you still need someone else to hold them for you?So Comrade Erbao immediately started by himself, picked up a rice ball under the situation of almost scalding his "claws", and then put it in the bowl handed by Mu Mu. Since seeing Da Zhuang and Xiao Yang kissing each other Comrade Erbao was envious and envious of eating a rice ball. So he also started the journey of practice. Of course, he broke the rice ball and fed his little daughter-in-law bite by mouthful. But Mu Mu was completely passive and could only Accept it. Fortunately, when the rice ball entered his mouth and the taste was chewed away, he forgot about his brother Erbao's behavior. This is the first time he has eaten such rice! The fish floss, roasted in this way, does not have any fishy smell, it is really delicious! Besides the smell, it is also delicious!
