Chapter 97 Watermelon Sauce Beans
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t teach Zhuguo well, but let her do such a thing. Not only did she rack up a large debt, but it also damaged her husband’s reputation. , I am useless..."
It is really useless.
It is of no use whatsoever.
In all these years, there has been no progress at all.
Jiang Yihe narrowed his eyes, "The female elder has many thoughts, and you haven't followed her every day, how can you know what she is thinking? Now is not the time to regret this, it is better to return the Zhang family's belongings earlier."< br>
"Yes." Seeing that Jiang Yihe did not blame him, Tian felt relieved and felt even more guilty, so he quickly got busy.
Busy about packing the Zhang family’s things and cooking for Jiang Yihe.
Jiang Yihe frowned when he saw Tian hurriedly cleaning up.
He had already planned where to go with these silver items, but now they are all gone.
I have to rethink where to get some money.
Jiang Yihe’s eyes fell on Mr. Tian from the house that was almost described as bare walls.
Speaking of which, Tian’s family was already depleted. After Tian married him, he rarely had any contact with the family, and almost lost all ties.
If...
The Tian family probably wouldn’t come looking for them.
Jiang Yihe picked up the book and covered his eyes with light.
Wu Xiong and his party stayed near Xia Mingyue's house for a while, and then sat near Xia Ji for a long time. Seeing that Na Tian and Jiang Yihe were indeed no longer coming, they went to the gambling house with confidence. .
Along the way, some people repeatedly lamented how cruel Tian and Jiang Yihe were and how cold-hearted they were to their own daughter.
In particular, Jiang Zhuguo is sensible and filial.
“These things are not uncommon, and they are really not rare.” Someone retorted.
The others immediately fell silent.
Indeed, in the face of debt, we can see all kinds of things in the world and human nature is the most clear-cut.
They have seen so many things and scenes, but today this is really nothing.
Wu Xiong remained silent until he arrived at the gambling house. He only sent his subordinates to guard the gambling house first, while he headed home all the way.
The Han family is choosing peanuts at home.
Fresh morning peanuts are very tender. After washing them, there is no need to cook them, let alone pickle them. They just peel off the shells, remove the red coat, and put the plump, fresh and tender peanut kernels directly into it. In the mouth, it is refreshing and juicy, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. It is much more delicious than braised peanuts or dry-fried peanuts.
Or you can grind the fresh peanuts into peanut milk, cook it and drink it. It is very fragrant and much better than soy milk.
Wu Xiong likes the former, and Han likes the latter, so he bought a lot from farmers selling peanuts on the street and prepared to eat them at night.
When Wu Xiong saw Peanut, he knew that Mr. Han was thinking about his good meal, so he prepared these.
Driven by the warmth in his heart, Wu Xiong's eyes became wet, and he just squatted down and buried his head in Han's arms, "Mom treats me so well."
His mother treated him as if he were in heaven!
My mother is the best mother in the world!
Han was caught off guard, and a prickly furry thing suddenly appeared in his arms. He was so surprised that he raised his hand and slapped him, "What are you calling for?"
Wu Xiong laughed. He smiled and didn't care about the place where he was hit just now. Instead, he rubbed Han's palm and said, "Mom, please pay attention to the pain in your hand. Next time, I'll be gentler. It's not that I feel sorry for the pain in my head, but that my mother's hand hurts."
How hard is his big head?
How can my mother's hands bear it? If my mother is not happy, it would be better for her to do it herself.
"Go, go, stay out of the way." Han asked Wu Xiong aside impatiently.
"Hey, that's good." Wu Xiong agreed, moved the bench to the side and sat there, holding his chin with his hands and watching Han's business, with a smile on his face. Stupid laugh.
Smirk.
Mr. Han, "..."
Why does my son feel more and more stupid?
Will I have to hit my head less often in the future?
Yes, if you get hit on the head too much, people will become stupid. It is better to spank the butt with a broom. The buttocks are thick and can withstand...
The same goes for Xia Ji's food stall business. As busy as ever, after all the ingredients are sold out, the stall will be closed on time as usual.
During this period, everything was peaceful, and Tian and Jiang Yihe did not come back.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said no more about this matter.
On the surface, Jiang Zhuguo said everything was fine, but it would take a long time until nothing happened.
What they need to do during this period is to wait quietly for the bleeding scars to gradually stop bleeding, the scab to settle, and finally the scars to heal.
Xia Mingyue and the others kept it secret and just washed and packed up as usual and prepared various things needed for the next day.
The three of the Lu family were busy, while Xia Mingyue checked the situation of the soybeans.
After several days of fermentation, the soybeans have grown long mycelium, and under the exposure to the sun for two days, they have gradually become dry.
The soybeans are now yellow-green in color, which is very beautiful.
After confirming that the dryness of the soybeans met the requirements, Xia Mingyue poured the soybeans into an open dustpan in batches and rubbed off the excess mycelium on the beans.
Pour all the rolled beans into a wooden basin, sprinkle with salt, white wine, pepper, star anise, ginger slices and as much chopped watermelon pulp as possible.
In order to ensure the taste of pickled watermelon beans, Xia Mingyue picked out as many watermelon seeds as possible when cutting the watermelon, and while stirring evenly, crushed as much of the watermelon flesh as possible with a large spoon.
After mixing thoroughly, pour them into coarse porcelain jars, seal the mouths layer by layer with cage cloth, cover the lid of the jar, then seal with a layer of yellow mud, and wait for it to slow down Slow fermentation.
The watermelon sauce beans need to be marinated for several months to be completed. You need to be patient during this time.
To make pickled watermelon sauce beans today, I cut three watermelons into pieces. In order to ensure the taste of the watermelon sauce beans, the skin of the melons was left quite thick when cutting, and each one still had red flesh.
In line with the principle of saving and not wasting, Xia Mingyue decided to use these watermelon rinds to make dishes for dinner.
First up is the salad.
Remove the green skin from the watermelon rind and cut into thin slices, marinate with salt to squeeze out the water, and mix well with garlic slices, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, etc.
It can also be fried.
Still thin slices and add salt to remove the moisture. When stir-frying, add enough small red peppers, then add some soy sauce for coloring, and add a little vinegar when taking it out of the pot.
These two watermelon rind dishes, the former is crispy, sweet and full of fragrance, while the latter is sour and spicy, appetizing, with a sweet aftertaste, perfect for meals.
There was nothing fishy about the dinner, but it didn't delay eating half a basket of steamed buns.
In the next few days, everything was calm and the Jiang family was silent, as if nothing had happened.
The redness and swelling in Jiang Zhuguo’s eyes also dissipated day by day.
Everyone still did not mention this matter in front of Jiang Zhuguo, but they were still sad for a while when Jiang Zhuguo was not around.
The summer heat is coming, and the days in the morning and evening are no longer so hot.
There are many ways to make watermelon sauce beans. Some do not require drying to produce mycelium, and some do not need to be rubbed off after the mycelium is produced. What I wrote is my mother’s method of pickling watermelon sauce beans. She has to rub off the mycelium every time. Pickled again, it tastes great. In the past two years, my mother stopped making watermelon sauce beans and started making chili sauce beans. The taste is great. I will discuss the method in a few days and write about it when the time comes~
