After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Next to the school there is a small hillside with loess. Jiang Youliang digs two baskets of loess with a load, and pours them back into a large basin. Jiang Xiaoman adjusts the brine. , in another pot, he plans to make five-spice flowing oil.

"Let me share with you my family's method of making salted eggs. This is a traditional rural method. Mix coarse salt evenly in the loess, and then pour it into cooled boiled water. Note here that salted eggs must not be salted with raw water ,Believe me, the salted eggs will stink!" Jiang Xiaoman skillfully began to explain to the camera.

"Stir clockwise in this way. If you feel dirty, you can use a small shovel or a rolling pin for planting flowers at home. After stirring evenly, throw the washed and naturally dried eggs into the mud one by one, and evenly roll a layer of yellow mud on the surface. , you can install the altar."

"You can put them directly in jars for your own food. For the convenience of packing and express delivery, I plan to wrap each one in plastic wrap individually, so that you can untie them when eating, and open a few after eating, without getting your hands dirty. "

Jiang Xiaoman and his father have a clear division of dividends. He is in charge of pickling the eggs. His father is skillful and is responsible for wrapping the pickled eggs one by one with plastic wrap, and then putting them in the big bamboo basket made by himself.

"I marinate it first and then seal it with plastic wrap, so I can put it directly in this kind of bamboo basket. Cough~ The main reason is that my family is poor and can't afford so many large tanks of pickled eggs. If you make it yourself, You can buy that kind of small jar, put the marinated eggs directly into the jar, and finally seal it with the remaining mud, so the taste will be the same.”

The pickling process is relatively boring. In order to prevent insufficient editing materials in the later stage, Jiang Xiaoman habitually faced the camera and began to share with netizens the "money-saving method" for poor people like him to live at home——

"The big vat of pickles in our town, yes, the big vat of pickled vegetables in Northeast China, it costs 120 yuan a piece, good guy! If I really want to buy this vat to pickle eggs, the cost of this vat is even higher than that of eggs. "

"I don't use this vat for pickled sauerkraut and sour bamboo shoots. Let me tell you, you can go to the second-hand market to buy that kind of plastic vat for 30 yuan each. A thick plastic bag for the quilt, put it in two layers, pickled sauerkraut or sour bamboo shoots, it is not easy to smell, throw the plastic bag away after eating, and brush the inside of the plastic bucket to clean it, it is very convenient!"

"However, I didn't expect to buy so many eggs at once when I went down the mountain today. I plan to pickle some of them first, borrow my uncle's bamboo basket to pack them, and then go up the mountain tomorrow to pickle them in plastic buckets. Don't think plastic buckets are unhealthy. The egg has already been covered with a thick layer of mud, and then wrapped with two layers of plastic wrap. In fact, it is the same wherever it is marinated, and the bacteria outside can’t get in, let alone plastic pollution.”

After explaining the food safety issue to netizens, Jiang Xiaoman suddenly thought that he had to do a food safety test for the food he sells online, so he immediately wrote this down, and prepared to marinate a small jar of samples for testing when he got it. The proof is ready for sale.

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoman thought that the local honey he sold in Moments before did not have a test report. Although it was sold on a small scale, and it was basically photographed by acquaintances, it was actually quite risky. Waiting for the new honey at home to come back, I still have to get a test report.

After marinating two boxes of eggs, seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Baichuan and the others were about to come back, Jiang Xiaoman wiped his hands and prepared to go into the house to cook.

When he came over just now, Fang Xingchen and Chu Mengluan's small eyes looked over, tsk!It is estimated that he has been tortured by his uncle's boiled vegetables for the past few days. After all, he was the one who abducted these two people, so it is not good to leave them to his uncle for such torture.

Before it was dark, Jiang Xiaoman took a vegetable basket and a machete and went to the vegetable garden. In this season, there are quite a lot of edible vegetables in the vegetable garden. Seeing that the eggplants had knotted a lot, Jiang Xiaoman picked three large ones. Eggplant, picked dozens of green peppers, five cucumbers, a few loofahs, a few red tomatoes, and chopped a cabbage, enough for five of them.

First wash the rice and put it in the pot, then wash a dozen long strips of sweet potatoes with red hearts, and put them around the side of the pot, so that the cooked sweet potatoes will have a layer of burnt skin on the side of the iron pot, which is especially good eat.

The staple food is ready, put on the bamboo grate for steaming vegetables, put a few eggplants on the side of the pot, wash a few red yams and put them on, leaving a large space in the middle, beat six eggs, add salt, Soybean oil, a little lard and light soy sauce, stir well, pour hot water, stir well again, sprinkle a layer of chopped green onion, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, find a bamboo stick to poke some air holes on it, and steam it out The egg custard is nice and delicious.

Cover the pot and ask his father to help cook the fire. He began to prepare a few dishes for the evening, patting the cucumber for a cold dish, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, a loofah scrambled egg, a tiger skin green pepper, and a dry pot Shredded cabbage.

After the rice is cooked, uncover the pot, shovel the steamed eggplant and yam into a large basin, then throw a few older peppers into the charcoal fire, take it out and pat off the charcoal on it Ash, mash it with garlic and put it on the eggplant and potato. Finally, heat the soybean oil, add a few prickly ash to sauté until fragrant, pour it into the eggplant and mix well.

Jiang Xiaoman learned this dish from his mobile phone, and later he tried adding steamed yams, and found that the taste was not bad, and his father also loved it, so this dish has now become a reservation on their summer dinner table dishes.

"Ah, Brother Xiaoman, have you cooked? That's great! I'm starving to death o(╥﹏╥)o" Fang Xingchen rushed over moved, sniffing the smell of food in the air, feeling that his soul have all been redeemed.

Chu Mengluan was also moved to tears at the kitchen door.

Since coming to Langshan to support teaching, Chu Mengluan has never suffered from insomnia.

In the past, she often posted some melancholy to the moon or sleepless news in the circle of friends hypocritically, but now, just sending the students home and back and forth on the mountain road twice a day has exhausted the prehistoric power in her body.

What is even more sad is that Jiang Baichuan is not yet a human being!

They have worked so hard, and they can eat egg soup with the students at noon, and there are only three of them left in school at night, good guys!Either heat up the lunch for a meal, or pick a few vegetable leaves, wash a dozen yams, and make a yam stewed rice. He can't even put bacon in it!Each person is given two spoonfuls of homemade chili sauce when eating...

The boss of the electronics factory doesn't dare to abuse the assembly line workers like this now, okay?

Fang Xingchen and Chu Mengluan are now silently praying in the direction of Jiang Xiaoman's house every day, hoping that their brother Xiaoman can "occasionally" come to the school to cook them a meal with meat when they go down the mountain to do business!

However, today they are destined to be disappointed.

Probably because Jiang Xiaoman, his nephew, made him vigilant. At some point, Jiang Baichuan hid the bacon that was originally in the kitchen. Jiang Xiaoman didn't find the bacon, so he could only use the ingredients he had on hand to give it to him. They had an egg feast.

When a bunch of green vegetables were put on the table, even the netizens couldn't help but feel sad for them.

But fortunately, Jiang Xiaoman is a good cook, and he is willing to use oil when cooking, so even if it's just vegetarian dishes and eggs, these few dishes made Fang Xingchen and Chu Mengluan almost moved to tears.

They are also yams. The yams cooked by Jiang Baichuan are similar to pig food. The roasted chili mixed with eggplant and yams made by Jiang Xiaoman is fragrant and spicy, and it is very delicious when used with bibimbap.

The egg custard was also steamed until it was golden and soft. Although the shredded cabbage had no meat, he added some lard residue, which tasted delicious.Tiger skin green peppers and loofah scrambled eggs are also very delicious. If you are full, have a bowl of tomato and egg soup. This is the correct way to open a rural teaching work meal, okay?

At this moment, whether it is Fang Xingchen or Chu Mengluan, the two city children who were spoiled and spoiled since childhood, they felt the importance of learning how to cook well for the first time in their lives. After all, parents and takeaways may be unreliable. When it is critical, you still have to know how to cook. Only rice will do!

After the meal, the two trainee teachers reciprocated and rushed to help Jiang Xiaoman wash the eggs together. The washed eggs should be dried naturally, washed clean at night, and can be used directly to pickle tomorrow morning.

After washing more than a dozen cartons of eggs, several people were exhausted. Jiang Youliang had already gone home early to feed the pigs. Tonight Jiang Xiaoman was staying at the school. Baskets and plastic vats were transported down, and it took them two days to marinate all the eggs.

"Brother Xiaoman, have you been in school for the past two days?" Fang Xingchen looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah! You guys wash my eggs tomorrow morning. I'll go to the town to buy some meat first, and then I'll buy two chickens for us to eat. You can't rely on my uncle for this, or we can continue with the whole egg feast." Jiang Xiaoman He was very disdainful of Jiang Baichuan's way of secretly hiding the bacon.

He has made so many contributions to the school, isn't he worthy of two pieces of bacon?

Besides, the school video account is also starting to make money now. Although it is not much, it is always enough to buy meat, right?

"Hey! Don't mention the money in the account. The principal said that the money should be saved. When the winter vacation is over, find workers to knock down the kitchen and repair it, and then buy some materials to renovate the second floor and build two rooms. Come out of the collective dormitory." Fang Xingchen didn't realize that his tone was already full of admiration.

Although these days he and Chu Mengluan followed Jiang Baichuan to eat vegetarian food and almost became immortals, but when he thought that the money Jiang Baichuan saved from his teeth was not for himself, but to repair the canteen and dormitory for the children, the two of them also ate vegetarian food. I am willing.

Chu Mengluan even discussed with him that when the teaching support is over, he can bring back the materials they took in Langshan during this time, and hold a fundraiser at the school. As much as can be raised, it can be regarded as a donation for the school canteen. I have done my best.

"Forget it! You have to rely on yourself to eat meat! Don't worry about it, you will help me wash the eggs tomorrow, and I will treat you to meat." Jiang Xiaoman said.

Anyway, asking people to help with things in the countryside is also about taking care of food, so Jiang Baichuan didn't dare to say anything when he bought more meat and vegetables.
