Little wealth

It was a festival day, and their family started preparing dinner dishes early.

The shadow of the sun had only moved half way from the yard, and the sun was still shining on the door of the house, so they were washing and cutting vegetables outside the yard.

They still live here in the old house, eat and sleep here every day, so cooking is still in this small kitchen.However, the new house has a water well, so it is convenient to use water at home. You can get water after walking a few steps. Walk that far.

"Quack quack—"

The white knife was wiped on the chicken's neck, and the chicken, which was grabbed by the wings and two feet, lost its breath after a few flops, and was completely dead.

People outside were killing chickens, and Josh was preparing dishes in the kitchen. Some dishes needed rough processing and would be fried later, so he would prepare them in advance.It happened to be a holiday today, everyone came back early, and there were some people who helped with the work, so he prepared to cook a few more dishes for everyone to eat, which can be regarded as a celebration of the festival.

Isn't the festival just to find a legitimate reason to eat and drink?And rightfully so today.

So he doubts that the origin of all festivals is a festival set up by a group of greedy people for eating.

Basically, the dishes on the table have already been washed and cut for him, which has saved him a lot of time and effort. Think about whether you need to cook a few fewer dishes.

After a while, we will make braised fish. First, fry the fish in oil, fry it until golden on both sides, and then take it out for later use.

Josh peeped out and saw that the chickens outside had been killed. He lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the boiling water inside, and said to Chen Yan: "Ah Yan, take the hot water out of the pot and give it to me." They use it."

"Well, good." Hearing this, Chen Yan got up, took a pot of hot water and went outside.

The people outside were pouring hot water into the basin and plucking chicken feathers. Even his father was helping with the work today. Chen Yan took the water outside and went back to the kitchen with the pot.

"Put the pot back on the stove, scoop two spoonfuls of water into it and cook the meat for a while." Seeing that Chen Yan brought the pot back, Josh's hands were still busy and he couldn't find time, so he asked Chen Yan to help scoop it up water and put the meat in it.

Usually they often eat braised pork and marinated pork. Today he is going to make white pork with garlic paste. The method is simple and delicious.Wash the pork belly without cutting it, put cold water into the pot, pour a little cooking wine, a few slices of ginger, and a handful of peppercorns and cook together to remove the fishy smell.

When the meat in the pot was cooking, he went to prepare Sixi meatballs. Someone had already chopped the minced meat and water chestnuts for him. The key was to adjust the minced meat. Put in the minced meat, stir the water into the meat every time, you can't see the excess water coming out, and then continue to add the meat until no water can be stirred in.

Then pour in an egg, add minced green onion and minced ginger, water chestnuts, and an appropriate amount of soy sauce, sugar and salt, and stir the meat stuffing in one direction.

After reconciling the minced meat, take a fist-sized minced meat and beat it back and forth a dozen times with your left and right hands to make the minced meat naturally form a ball.Seeing that the meat in the pot was almost cooked, Josh called Chen Yan to help me, "Ah Yan, help me pinch the meatballs, just do as I did just now, I'll go and see if the meat is cooked first."

"Ah... oh, good." Chen Yan was driven to the shelves. He usually comes to the kitchen as a cook, so he doesn't know how to pinch meat.However, he also knew that Josh was not free at the moment, so he could only take his place, so he pinched the meatball a little clumsily like Josh did just now.

The pork belly in the pot had been boiled until it was completely white. Josh poked it with a chopstick, and the meat could be pierced without any blood coming out. The meat was completely cooked.He just fished out the pork belly, and someone outside brought in the slaughtered chicken.

"Where to put it?" Master Zhao didn't work in the wooden house at the moment, and came to help Fu Lang wash and chop vegetables and do these tasks.In his hand was a freshly killed chicken, washed and cut into pieces as Fu Lang had ordered.

In the kitchen, several pots are cooking, and the whole room smells fragrant.

"Give it to me." Josh took it, put it on the table next to him, and asked this person, "Have you finished all the work outside?"

"Well, it's almost done. There's still a dried bamboo shoot and vegetables that haven't been picked up yet." Zhao He glanced at the kitchen and there were already two people there. Standing at the door, the kitchen seemed a bit cramped, let alone help inside. up.

"Oh, then go out and do your work outside. If you have nothing to do, set up a table outside to drink tea, and I will prepare the dishes here." At this moment, Josh was so busy that he didn't have time to care about this person. .

The pepper pork belly soup is stewed in the pot, and it has been stewing for an hour.

The method of pepper pork belly soup is very simple, that is, wash the pork belly, put a lot of pepper in it, and the soup will be fragrant and spicy.However, washing pork belly is a troublesome job. It must be washed until it is clean and there is no smell at all. Otherwise, if it is not cleaned, then one can imagine the smell of the boiled soup.

Of course, the pork belly of their family has been washed several times today, and there is absolutely no strange smell.

The soup was simmering on a small fire in the stove, and the soup in the pot was bubbling and bubbling.

Josh still remembers wrapping the lid with a cloth towel before opening it. As soon as he opened it, he smelled a strong smell of pepper. The pork belly soup cooked with pepper was off-white. He put all the chicken in it and cooked it together. , then close the lid.

He heard the cry of a child from the other side of the room, and he remembered that their son was still sleeping in the room.

But before he could go out, there was a man outside striding back to the house, and after a while, he came out holding the child who had just woken up.As soon as the child came out, he ran towards the kitchen, looking at him with dark and bright eyes that were full of sleep.

"Ah Nian woke up, come, drink a glass of water, and drink it yourself." Josh poured a glass of water for the child, let the child drink it by himself, glanced at the man following behind, and asked the man to coax the child Walk.

"Daddy, I want to eat." Smelling the smell in the kitchen, the little boy refused to leave, wanting to eat.

Josh couldn't laugh or cry at this, so he could only coax the child, "The dishes are not cooked yet, wait to eat, you go and play for a while before you come back, our dishes can be cooked."

After receiving the look from Fu Lang, Master Zhao understood, and coaxed the child to go out to drink water.

After the child left, Josh was going to fry their dishes for tonight, "Cut this meat into thin slices for me." The pork belly that was cooked just now had cooled down a bit, so he asked Chen Yan to cut the meat for dipping. The sauce will be adjusted as soon as it becomes available.

"Okay." Although Chen Yan doesn't know how to cook, his knife skills are very good, especially when cutting meat. If it is seven cents thick, it will never be three cents thin. Let him slice the meat into thin slices. The knife started cutting, and the knife in his hand didn't pause at all.

Every time he saw Chen Yan cutting meat, Josh felt it was a visual and auditory enjoyment, it was so refreshing!

At this time, Chen Yan helped him cut the meat, so he went to fry the meatballs they just made.

The oil in the pan is about [-]% hot, put the meatballs in and deep-fry over low heat until golden brown, then it’s ready to be taken out of the pan.

There is oil left at the bottom of the pot, put chopped green onion and ginger slices in and stir-fry, then pour in the mushrooms and stir until fragrant, pour in half a bowl of bone broth, put in the fried meatballs, add soy sauce, sugar and salt, and turn on high heat Bring to a boil, then turn to low heat, cover and simmer.

After a while, the lid was lifted, and the soup in it was almost collected. At this time, turn on the fire, pour the soup on the meatballs repeatedly until the juice is collected, then remove the meatballs, put Drizzle the soup and shiitake mushrooms inside, and put a few green vegetables on the side to garnish, so that a Sixi meatball is ready.

After making Sixi meatballs, he went on to fry the fish.

Heat the oil in a pan, pour in the onion, ginger, and garlic and sauté until fragrant, add water, put the whole fried fish in it and cook, add appropriate amount of soy sauce, vinegar, white wine, sugar and salt, cook for a while and turn the fish over , cook on the other side.

The kitchen was frying until fragrant, and bursts of fragrance came out. People outside the yard were constantly swallowing when they smelled the fragrance.

Until a sentence came from inside, "It's time to serve the food."

"Hey, just come." Zhao Xiaohu was the first to stand up as if the talented people outside woke up from a dream, and strode towards the kitchen.Seeing that his brother was pouring juice on a big fish, he immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Come on, take this out, be careful it's hot." Josh put the shovel back into the pot and asked someone to come over and take out the dishes.There are already several dishes on the table, and there is still the last dish that has not been fried. He is going to stir-fry the last dish, and everyone can start eating.

"I'll come." Zhao Hu swallowed while serving the dishes.

The people outside went in one by one to serve the dishes. Josh washed the pot and started the pot again to fry the last dish. After the pot was hot, put the pork belly in and fry until it was lightly browned.Put the pork belly aside, pour in the onion, ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, add a spoonful of white wine, put the pork belly down and stir fry a few times, then pour in the dried bamboo shoots and stir fry together.

The fire in the stove is high, and the stir-fried vegetables are cooked quickly. After a few stir-fries, the dried bamboo shoots are almost cooked. Then add a few drops of soy sauce, an appropriate amount of salt and a little sugar to enhance the flavor, and the last dish can be cooked.

The last dish was fried, and before he could call someone, the person who was already waiting next to him took the freshly cooked dish and carried it outside.

Zhao Amu went to the kitchen to take a look, and seeing that there were no uncooked dishes on the table, she asked, "Is the dish all fried?"

"It's finished." Josh raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Although the weather is not as hot as it was in June and July, he still sweated a lot after frying a few dishes in the kitchen.

Seeing that there was no food left to stir-fry, and it was very hot in this kitchen, Zhao Amu said, "Then you guys go out to eat first, and I'll clean up after I leave the things inside."

"Okay." Josh nodded, and really didn't want to stay here any longer, so he called Chen Yan who had been in the kitchen with him for so long to go out, "Ah Yan, let's go out to eat, let's leave Let’s tidy up here later.”

"En." Chen Yan got up, and walked behind Josh and Zhao Amu.
