Chapter 56 Steamed Vegetables
But what she needs now is not the thick and juicy celery, but the tender green celery leaves.
After picking out all the celery leaves, washing them clean, and setting them aside to drain them, Xia Mingyue began to peel carrots and potatoes again.
Jiang Zhuguo helped with the work. When Xia Mingyue went to scoop out the white noodles and mixed the celery leaves with shredded carrots and potatoes, he suddenly understood.
Sister Xia, are you going to make steamed vegetables?
However, steamed vegetables are not very delicious...
Jiang Zhuguo’s family does not have much land, and she has to support her father’s studies. He has to save some food, so in order to eat less food on weekdays, he will Don't eat vegetables to satisfy your hunger.
This steamed dish is commonly eaten.
Steamed elm money, steamed sophora japonica, steamed wild vegetables, steamed broom seedlings, steamed cabbage, steamed radish leaves, steamed celery leaves...
I have eaten all the Jiangzhu fruits, and I will consider these steamed ones. The dish was a nightmare, but then again, compared to eating wild vegetable pancakes, the steamed vegetables still tasted good.
Some families who are even poorer than hers are very happy to be able to eat steamed vegetables with some white flour for once, and they think these are very delicious.
Maybe Sister Xia heard others say it was delicious, so she specially steamed it to eat?
While Jiang Zhuguo was making the fire, he was debating whether to remind Xia Mingyue not to have such high hopes for the taste of the steamed vegetables. Xia Mingyue had already mixed the three dishes with flour and put them on the Steamer after water boils.
After a cup of tea, Xia Mingyue opened the steamer, turned the steamed vegetables over with chopsticks, sprinkled some flour on them, and stirred evenly.
After another cup of tea, Xia Mingyue took out the steamed vegetables from the basket and filled a large bowl for each of them.
Holding the steamed vegetables in the bowl, Jiang Zhuguo hesitated for a moment before putting the steamed vegetables into his mouth.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Zhuguo was startled.
The steamed vegetables in your mouth do not have the sticky and pus-like feeling of the steamed vegetables you usually eat. Instead, they are very dry. The flour completely wraps every celery leaf and every shredded vegetable, and you can taste it in one mouthful. When it goes down, the noodles are full of flavor and the vegetables are fragrant.
It was completely different from the steamed vegetables she had eaten before.
The steamed vegetables are paired with the garlic sauce that Xia Mingyue just made. The unique garlic aroma of new garlic, the aroma of vegetables and noodles are all mixed together...
The more you eat, the better it tastes!
Is it actually more satisfying than eating meat?
Jiang Zhuguo never thought that one day she would be able to eat steamed vegetables in such big and small mouths that she couldn't stop eating.
What Jiang Zhuguo didn’t expect was that the second time she ate steamed vegetables, she actually ate more than the first time.
Because when she got up the next morning, Xia Mingyue stir-fried the steamed vegetables that she had not finished eating the night before.
When frying, I put two small red peppers and cracked an egg into it, which makes the fried steamed vegetables spicy and adds a rich and mellow taste of eggs.
The most important thing is that after the steamed vegetables are fried in oil, the flour coating on the surface gives them a crispy texture, making the steamed vegetables delicious and full of aftertaste.
With the white flour porridge cooked in the morning, Jiang Zhuguo ate two bowls, so much so that while washing the dishes, he burped twice in succession.
This made Jiang Zhuguo a little embarrassed, and joked to himself, "I'm afraid Sister Xia will be destitute in the future."
"There is a shortage of people around the house, but only This is enough food. Just open up your appetite." Xia Mingyue is quite open-minded about this. "The food you eat will make you stronger and stronger. I can't do more work in the future."< br>
"This is a good habit. You must continue to maintain it in the future. Don't cheat in this regard. You must eat enough." Xia Mingyue added.
After Jiang Zhuguo came to work here, Xia Mingyue clearly noticed that she was full of restraint, and even deliberately controlled the amount of food she ate.
Appropriate restraint is necessary in the workplace, but it is absolutely impossible to be restrained to the point of not having enough to eat.
Only when your stomach is full can you feel happy, your mood will be positive, and you can do your best in doing things. In particular, Jiang Zhuguo is the kind of honest and responsible child who needs this kind of positive and encouraging treatment.
Jiang Zhuguo bit his lip.
Because the family is not rich, the money earned at home and the food harvested need to be left a lot for dad for his study. My mother is not in good health, so she needs to worry about many things.
It has become her habit to deliberately not eat full when eating.
She thought she had done a good job on her face and would not be discovered, but she did not expect that she did not escape Sister Xia's eyes.
Actually, since I came here to work, I have eaten white flour, eggs, and meat every day. It is completely different from the days when I used to eat vegetables and leaves, rice, and thin soup with little water. Even if I am not full, I will not be full. Will feel uncomfortable.
But Sister Xia still told her to eat enough and not to cheat.
Sister Xia is so kind...
Jiang Zhuguo tried hard to prevent the mist in his eyes from condensing into water droplets, and nodded vigorously to Xia Mingyue, "Well, I took note of it!"
Remember to do things well for Sister Xia in the future, so that she can be worthy of eating so much from Sister Xia’s house!
The patter of rain became heavier after breakfast and then gradually stopped after lunch.
After the sun came up in the middle of the afternoon, Xia Mingyue led Jiang Zhuguo and Lu to start a new day's work.
The next day, the stalls will be set up as usual.
After a day's rest, people who are used to Xia Ji's food came here early, either to order a large bowl of wontons, or to order a meatloaf with cold skin, or to order I brought my own earthen jar, bought all the food, and took it home to eat slowly.
There are many diners, and Xia Mingyue and others are also very busy.
As noon approached, the number of Xia Kee’s customers reached its peak.
"Two bowls of wontons!" someone shouted.
"Okay." Mrs. Lu greeted, picked up the rag on her shoulder and wiped the long table in front of the two newcomers again, "Big bowl or small bowl?"
"Two big gentlemen, naturally they want a big bowl."
The other party's tone was impatient, so Lu took another look.
One of the people looks quite familiar, it seems like...
"It seems that he was the one who tried to defraud Brother Zhao out of his money last time when he bought pancakes, but Brother Lu found out." Xia Mingyue also noticed it and whispered to Lu while the wontons were being served.
“I’m here to eat this time, I guess I’m here to cause trouble...”
Mr. Lu frowned, thinking about whether to drive him away.
I don’t know what a person with such a wrong mind will do.
While the two people were muttering here, Sun Gouchen, who had already sat down, looked impatient. When I was picking it up, I saw that we were not well dressed, so I felt that I couldn’t afford two bowls of wontons, so I didn’t want to do our business.”
"How can you judge a book by its appearance?" Tian Dazhuang, who was following Sun Goucheng, also echoed.
As soon as these words came out, the other diners in Xia Ji raised their eyebrows.
