Chapter 14 Crucian carp stewed with tofu
Ms. Liu was wiping the counter and placing various goods. When she noticed someone coming in, she greeted him with a smile, "Sir..."
"Yes Madam Xia?" Mrs. Liu paused, "What do Madam Xia want to buy?"
"It's a dry and windy day in spring, so I want to buy some ointment that can protect my hands." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
"Then Madam Xia, let's try the lard ointment." Mrs. Liu took out a small flat porcelain jar, "The name may not sound good, but it is really heavy with grease. If you rub it in spring, Your skin won’t get chapped, and if you use it for a long time, your skin will be soft and smooth.”
"The key is that it's very cheap. A jar like this only costs 20 cents. It doesn't hurt to put more on your face and hands. Madam Xia often cooks and it's very smoky, so this is the best."
< br>"Then buy a can of this." Xia Mingyue took out the money bag and came out.
After paying the bill and getting the lard ointment, Xia Mingyue was ready to leave.
Ms. Liu paused, hesitated for a moment, and then walked a few steps to catch up, "Mrs. Xia."
"My husband suggested that Ms. Xia set up a stall next to the shop to sell food. , what do you think of Mrs. Xia? ”
Since Mrs. Liu asked, it means that she also fully agrees with this matter.
“I think the place next to Mrs. Liu’s shop is great, and I plan to set up a food stall here. I have been buying things for the stall in the past two days, but there are a lot of things, and I still need them. About half a month "It takes time." br>
This way.
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that Madam Xia has made up her mind, I will tidy up the place. If Madam Xia has anything difficult to handle and needs help, don't be polite. Although Open your mouth.”
"Thank you Madam Liu." Xia Mingyue narrowed her eyes with a smile.
"Ms. Xia, you're welcome." Ms. Liu sent her out with a smile.
After watching Xia Mingyue go away, Mrs. Liu returned to the shop.
Shopkeeper Qian walked out of the backyard with a few strands of chicken feathers on the apron he was wearing, looking in a hurry.
"Madam, I have selected and washed the chicken. Are you going to stew it now?"
Mrs. Liu just said she wanted to eat chicken noodle soup tonight.
"It's still early, maybe a little later." Ms. Liu looked up at Shopkeeper Qian and spoke slowly, "Ms. Xia just came."
"Oh? What do you mean, But do you want to set up a stall here?" Shopkeeper Qian asked eagerly.
“Mrs.
"But I asked further and asked Madam Xia if she wanted to set up a stall. Madam Xia said she had such a plan, but it would take some time to prepare things and clean up the mess." Mrs. Liu added.
“Seriously?” Shopkeeper Qian suddenly became energetic.
“I lied to you!” Ms. Liu rolled her eyes at Shopkeeper Qian angrily.
"How could you lie to me? What you said is of course the truth." Shopkeeper Qian came over with a playful smile, "Let me just say, our business must rely on my wife, otherwise it will be It’s absolutely impossible to do it. After all the talk, my wife still feels sorry for me. I wanted to share the burden for you.”
“Don’t be such a mouthful.” Mrs. Liu tapped Shopkeeper Qian’s forehead with her finger, “I didn’t want to share the burden for you, but I just wanted to make the food delicious. , I just thought I could buy it when I went out.”
"Yes, yes, everything my lady said is right..."
Xia Mingyue strolled on the street for a while longer.
I bought leeks and dried vermicelli for tomorrow's cake making. Xia Mingyue also bought a fresh crucian carp and a small piece of tofu, and went to the blacksmith shop to get a kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife is sharp and the wooden handle of the knife handle is of a very suitable size, making it very easy to use.
Xia Mingyue is quite satisfied.
Remove the scales and wash the crucian carp, remove the internal organs and gills, fry in a pot until both sides are golden brown, add boiling water, add ginger slices and green onions and bring to a boil over high heat. The water splashes rolled, and the color gradually turned white from the previous transparent colorless.
A quarter of an hour later, the fish soup in the pot was as white as milk, and the fragrance was faintly exuded along with the heat.
Slice the tofu into the pot and cook for another quarter of an hour until the tofu is tender, smooth and glutinous. Add salt to taste and the crucian carp tofu is ready to serve.
When processing crucian carp, the black membrane in the abdominal cavity is completely removed, and when frying the fish, both sides of the fish are fried until they are golden enough. There is no fishy smell in this milky white crucian carp soup, only the unique flavor of crucian carp. Fresh fragrance.
The tofu has been simmered for a long enough time, making it more tender and smooth than the tofu you just bought, and the taste is more mellow and rich after absorbing the fish soup juice.
Drink and taste delicious!
After finishing the small pot of crucian carp stewed with tofu, Xia Mingyue was so satisfied that she burped with satisfaction.
The crucian carp has many bones and medical conditions are limited at this time. Xia Mingyue does not dare to eat it. She only pours the last remaining crucian carp into the swill bucket and puts it outside the courtyard gate, waiting for the car to collect the swill tomorrow. Pour it out.
At night, the weather is clear and the moon and stars are sparse.
The entire Jinqiu County basically fell into a deep sleep, and Xia Mingyue was no exception.
There was a dark shadow wandering on West Street. After hesitating for a moment, he entered Xinghua Lane.
A rustling sound rang out, and after a while, the alley returned to calm.
In the morning, Xia Mingyue got up as usual.
Wash, tidy up, and have a simple breakfast, Xia Mingyue begins a busy day.
The bell of the swill cart rang outside.
Xia Mingyue put down what she was doing, wiped her hands, opened the courtyard door, and went to pick up the swill bucket at the door.
The barrel is very light.
Xia Mingyue was stunned and lowered her head to look.
The swill bucket was clean. The minced crucian carp meat and fish bones that she poured in last night had disappeared.
What's going on...
"What's wrong, brother and sister?" Mrs. Lu was just about to come over to make cakes, and saw Xia Mingyue dazed, so she walked up to her.
"It's nothing. I just poured some swill last night and it was gone." Xia Mingyue looked at the swill bucket and said, "It seems to have been eaten by something."
If it is poured out, there should be residue around the edges.
"It should be a wild cat or something." Lu guessed.
"My younger siblings are good at cooking. It's easy to attract cats with this swill." Lu said, "Now is the time for cats to have fun in spring. It's normal for cats in every house to be unable to be contained and run around looking for food. ”
Indeed, this is the time when the cat meows spring.
Xia Mingyue also heard the shouting all night many times.
"That's about it."
Xia Mingyue didn't think much and carried the swill bucket back first.
Making cakes, setting up stalls, everything is the same as before.
When the sun rose into the sky, Jiang Zhuguo excitedly arrived at Xia Mingyue's stall.
Behind him was a large basket of black vegetables.
"Sister Xia." Jiang Zhuguo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm here to deliver the black vegetables. It's two days earlier than the ten days mentioned earlier. You should be fine."
