67. Cook salty porridge with smoked bacon

When Ji Pingan was pulled up from the ground by Xiao Bai, Ji Pingan was already laughing until tears came out.He repeatedly begged for mercy: "I don't play anymore, I have to make lunch."

As soon as he heard about making lunch, Xiao Huang got excited: "Eat salty porridge, eat salty porridge." He has been thinking about those salty pork ribs for hours, and now he can't wait to eat them in his mouth.

Ji Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, let's do it right away. By the way, take a look at these bacon for me, and remember not to let flames come out of the pot. If you see flames coming out, you can pour a little water. "

Xiao Huang agreed with all his mouth: "Okay." After a pause, he added: "Then can I roast potatoes in the pot?"

The ready-made iron pan is hot, and it is a waste not to use it to roast potatoes!

Ji Pingan burst into laughter: "Okay, you can bake it!"

In previous years, his family's yams could be eaten until the beginning of spring, but this year with Xiaohuang, it seems that it will not be able to support that time.But sweet potato is not a valuable thing, if Xiao Huang likes to eat it, next year he will grow more.The edge of the newly dug fish pond happened to be empty, and the sweet potatoes planted with fertile silt must be particularly large.

Xiao Huang squatted in front of the small shed and stared at the iron pot earnestly. Through the window, he could see his bright yellow down shining brightly in his eyes.Ji Ping'an's eyes are full of tenderness: "I don't know what kind of spirit beast our little yellow is, but it looks so cute. It will look even better if it turns into a human in the future."

Xiao Bai was lighting a fire, and when he heard Ji Pingan say this, he felt a little uncomfortable: "Does Ping An like Xiao Huang very much?"

Ji Pingan sensitively noticed Xiaobai's unhappiness, he smiled and said, "I like it, but I like Xiaobai more! Both Xiaobai and Xiaohuang are my important family members!"

The corners of Xiaobai's lips raised slightly, and he looked at Ji Pingan with deep eyes: "Yes."

Ji Pingan specially reserved some spare ribs and marinated them with salt for a few days. Early this morning, he washed the salt off the spare ribs and soaked them in a wooden basin.The salted pork ribs that have been soaked for an hour or two are whitish in color, and after being taken out of the basin, they exude the unique smell of bacon.

In addition to the salted ribs, he also put two fresh ribs to cook together.Bacon and fresh meat each have their own taste, and the taste will be better when mixed together.

After blanching these ribs in the pot, Ji Pingan scooped them up and put them on a large plate aside. He added half of the pot of water to the pot: "When making salty porridge, add enough water at once. Add water and the taste will change."

Xiaobai stood up and looked at the stove, and he was delighted with just one glance: "Ping An, are you making porridge or are you stewing pork ribs in different ways?"

A large plate of spare ribs, each piece is meaty.These ribs alone weigh several catties, not to mention the colorful beans and vegetables.

Xiaobai deeply doubts, after all these ingredients are added to the pot, can it be stewed in one pot?

Ji Pingan smiled: "It tastes better if there are more ribs. No matter how thick the porridge is, it's still porridge. If you don't add some, you'll be hungry."

Moreover, the pork ribs in salty porridge are more delicious than other methods. As long as he made salty porridge when he was a child, he always had the most ribs in his bowl.

After saying this, Ji Pingan fetched all kinds of beans that had been soaked last night.After a night of soaking, the originally inconspicuous beans swelled and returned to their original color.

I saw peanuts, soybeans, red beans, mung beans in Shau Kei... There are all kinds of red, green, and flowery beans, and there are several kinds that Xiaobai doesn't know.Ji Pingan picked up a flowery bean and smiled, "Hey, look, wild bean~"

Xiaobai felt that the half of Shau Kei's beans were probably the collection of all the beans that Ji Ping'an's family planted this year. From these beans, he also saw Ji Ping'an's hard work and difficulty.

Beans are not easy to cook, they need to be cooked first.After the beans with clear grains were put into the pot, the color of the originally clear water changed, and they turned into an indescribable sauce color.

After brewing a cup of tea, Ji Pingan put the ribs from the large bowl next to him into the pot.Looking at the cauldron at this time, one would think that Ji Ping'an was cooking bean ribs soup, look at how solid the ingredients are!Scoop it up with a spoon and it's full of meat and beans.

However, when Ji Pingan put the rice and taro into the pot, the soup in the pot slowly began to thicken.It's no wonder that whether it's rice or taro, they are ingredients that tend to stick after being stewed.

As the rice grains gradually expand, the soup in the pot is not as clear as it was at the beginning.All kinds of ingredients are gurgling in the soup, and the unique aroma of salty porridge can be smelled outside the house.

While mixing the ingredients in the pot, Ji Pingan said: "Some people will put radishes in the pot, but I don't like radishes, so I won't put them in."

Although there is no radish, he specially fried tofu puffs.The golden tofu puffs are square and square, and each one is only as big as Ji Ping'an's thumb.

Ji Pingan cut a small slit in the middle of them, so that they can quickly absorb the porridge water, and then mix with all the ingredients.

After thinking for a moment, Xiaobai asked, "Is cooking Laba porridge a traditional human custom?"

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "Yes, we have a saying, 'After Laba is the New Year'. The year is coming to an end in the twelfth lunar month. In this month, human beings use their labor fruits to pay homage to their ancestors and God. Laba porridge The more things are put inside, the more we will harvest this year, and our ancestors will bless us in the coming year.”

noob:……

This is completely different from the origin of the Laba Festival he knows!But as long as you are safe and happy.

Cooking Laba porridge is an urgent process. As the ingredients are put into the pot, the color of the porridge in the pot turns grayish brown.Xiaobai feels that this is quite moral, and all things with pure colors will return to chaos after being mixed together.

As the rice grains expand, the porridge water becomes viscous. At this time, you need to shovel the bottom of the pot frequently to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.Ji Pingan was stirring the porridge water in the pot unhurriedly. At this time, the familiar smell of Laba porridge wafted from outside the house.

Bubbles appeared on the porridge surface, Ji Pingan put down the shovel, and poured the prepared chrysanthemum chrysanthemum into the pot.

The chrysanthemum chrysanthemums in his family were planted in winter, and the crops grew slowly in winter. Now the chrysanthemum chrysanthemums are only half a foot high.Ji Pingan likes the unique taste of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, and he prefers Laba porridge made with chrysanthemum chrysanthemum vegetables to Laba porridge.

Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum only pinches the freshest tip in the middle, and throws them directly into the pot without cutting them off, and the unique fragrance of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum wafts out.

Ji Pingan waited patiently for the chrysanthemum chrysanthemum to be softened by the Laba porridge. He especially liked the soft chrysanthemum chrysanthemum.Especially in the salty porridge, the chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is boiled, and the taste is applauded.

When Xiaobai came out from behind the stove, he was startled when he saw the cauldron: "What a fellow!"

He said before that one pot couldn't cook so many things, but Ji Pingan put all the ingredients into the pot smoothly, which caused the porridge in the pot to overflow.

At this time, Xiaobai understood the reason for the proverb, "a pot of porridge made of chaos".To be honest, the appearance is not very good, but the fragrance is very attractive.

It is indeed a salty porridge cooked with so many ribs. After the aroma of grains and vegetables is mixed, the smell of this smell makes the stomach feel particularly at ease.

Xiao Huang had given up watching the pot. He shook off some pieces of potato skin after shaking the down on his body: "Peace, can we have porridge?"

Ji Pingan smiled: "It's already done."

After a while, three big bowls of salty porridge appeared on the table, and the three gathered around the table, picked up chopsticks and drank the porridge leisurely.I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I can't drink Laba porridge in the same way.

The salty porridge just came out of the pot was boiling hot, Ji Pingan carefully picked the porridge along the edge of the bowl.All kinds of soft boiled beans and vegetables mixed with the soup slowly flowed into Ji Ping'an's mouth.

The porridge water full of various grain flavors is extraordinarily fragrant, and Xiaobai fell in love with this taste after only one sip.

Xiaobai actually doesn't like beans very much, but the various beans in the salty porridge have been boiled until they are soft and rotten. If they are crispy and rotten in the mouth, they can hardly taste the original bean flavor.

What surprised him was the taro in the salty porridge. The taro in the fragrant sand taro was soft and could be pulled out after a bite.The smooth glutinous taro in the throat is completely different from the sweet-scented osmanthus taro seedlings, but they are equally delicious.

And the chunky ribs, some salty and some fresh.After picking up a piece of ribs, first shake off the thick Laba porridge wrapped around the ribs. This can actually tell whether the ribs are salty or fresh.

The meat of salted ribs is tight, not as soft as fresh ribs, but they are more chewy.Fresh pork ribs taste more plump, and the rich gravy inside will flow out after a bite.

No wonder Ji Pingan put so many ribs in the pot. The ribs in Laba porridge are really delicious.

There was a special fragrance in the whole pot of porridge, and Xiao Bai tasted it for a while without knowing where the fragrance came from, until he saw the leaves of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum in the porridge water that had turned brown, and he suddenly realized: "So it smells like Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum! "

Ji Pingan smiled and nodded: "Yes. Is it still acceptable?"

In fact, when he was a child, he didn't like the taste of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum. Every time his grandparents cooked salty porridge, Ji Ping'an's little mouth pouted.But since his grandparents passed away, he fell in love with the smell.

In this scent, he can recall happy times with his family.

A big bowl of salty porridge looks like a lot, but it tastes fast.After scooping up the taro and ribs in the bowl, the remaining porridge can be finished in a few sips.Xiao Huang was the first person to finish the salty porridge. He held up the bowl and said to Ji Pingan: "One more bowl!"

Ji Pingan took the bowl with a smile: "Okay."

Xiao Huang said happily: "Salty porridge is so delicious, can we also eat salty porridge at night?"

Ji Pingan smiled and nodded: "Today you can eat with your belly open!" He couldn't believe it, the three of them and a dog could finish such a big pot of salty porridge in one meal.

After adding a big bowl of porridge to Xiaobai, Ji Pingan said with a smile: "Did you know that the taste of freshly cooked salty porridge is actually not as good as that of re-cooked salty porridge."

After the salty porridge is boiled for the second time, although the bottom of the pot will be slightly sticky, the beans and rice grains inside will be cooked, making the taste smoother.At this time, the porridge and water in the pot are still somewhat alienated. After returning to the pot, they will be tightly combined.It tastes amazing!

Xiao Huang soon drank the third bowl of salty porridge, and when Ji Pingan habitually filled Xiao Huang with the fourth bowl of porridge, Xiao Huang burped for a long time: "Hi——"

As soon as the hiccup came out, all three of them were stunned.Xiao Huang patted his stomach in a daze: "I'm full."

It's amazing that his stomach, which has been dissatisfied, feels full!

Ji Ping'an was overjoyed: "Oh, Xiao Huang is full!" Usually, he would order Xiao Huang's meals in order to fear that he would overwhelm himself, what happened today?

Xiaobai put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his eyes became a little dignified.Xiao Huang is full, which proves that his body's deficit has been almost replenished, which also means that Leng Changtian will wake up at any time...

Do you want to strike first?

Xiao Huang patted his belly, and he said to Ji Ping'an, "Although I'm full, I think I can have another bowl."

The author has something to say:

Hey, others are full after eating a few mouthfuls, but I am different, I can still have a few mouthfuls when I am full.

Who is fat if I am not fat?Hey~
