Part of the prepared mooncakes will be kept to ensure a sense of ritual for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival, and part will be given to Lu and all the people who work in Xia Ji, which is a little bit of her kindness as the boss.
In addition, Xia Mingyue gave some to all the franchisees of Xia Ji Food Stall and Xia Ji Cold Pot Chuanchuan, and let them all have a taste.
Xia Mingyue distributed the rest to her neighbors, Aunt Feng, and Aunt Han’s family.
The pickling time has been more than a month, and the watermelon sauce beans have been fully fermented. With the help of Jiang Zhuguo, Xia Mingyue removed the mud seal on the jar and opened the lid when she got up in the morning.
The rich aroma of sauce rushed out immediately, teasing the noses of everyone present.
"It smells so good." Jiang Zhuguo sighed.
When Xia Mingyue took the wooden spoon that was wiped clean and scooped out a large spoonful from the jar, Jiang Zhuguo looked at the brown-red color of the watermelon soybean and sighed again, "This soybean The color is so beautiful.”
After carefully checking the color of the soybeans, the condition of the beans, the degree of fermentation of the watermelon chunks, and even tasting the taste of the soybeans, Xia Mingyue couldn’t bear it. He couldn't help but nod, "It's OK."
It was a successful pickling, and it didn't overturn.
But what you scoop out of the jar like this is raw soy beans. If you look carefully, you can eat them, but the taste will be much worse.
If you want to truly taste the wonderful taste of watermelon soy beans, you have to cook the soy beans in a pot.
The so-called cooked food actually means stir-fried.
Cut the green onions into sections, heat the oil in a pan, add the soy beans and stir-fry until the soy beans are completely heated through.
If you like spicy food, you can add some red pepper segments when frying the soy beans.
Considering that dry weather in autumn can easily lead to irritation, Xia Mingyue did not add heavy seasonings such as chili pepper and star anise.
And when ordinary people pickle watermelon soybeans, they put a lot of salt in order to survive the winter when there are only a few types of vegetables and the lack of vegetables in the following spring. It needs to be diluted with water before it can be eaten.
Xia Mingyue pursues good taste and texture, so the amount of salt used in pickling this time is limited. At this time, the soy beans are just right and salty, so there is no need to add any more water. Just heat them until they are thoroughly cooked. Serve in bowls.
With the addition of fat, the cooked soy beans become brighter in color and richer in aroma. Even Xia Mingyue, who had just eaten breakfast, had to take another half of the freshly steamed beans in the morning. Make dough buns and eat them with some soy beans.
The white flour steamed buns are fragrant and the watermelon and soy beans are rich and delicious. After the two are mixed together, they are completely released in the mouth...
"It's so delicious!" Xia Mingyue sighed repeatedly.
Next to him, he also took a bite of Jiangzhuguo with steamed buns dipped in watermelon sauce and beans, and froze in place with his mouth open.
It seems like you were robbed of your lines?
But it doesn’t matter...
“It’s really, really delicious!” Jiang Zhuguo first praised, but then felt a little inadequate, “It tastes more satisfying than meat.”
Watermelon and soybeans like this, when you have breakfast in the morning, scoop a little and heat it up, and pair it with porridge and side dishes, it is the most delicious meal.
Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.
This was the idea when I first pickled watermelon soybeans.
In the recent period, I must control enough soy beans and have a good time!
Xia Mingyue felt that after the success of pickling watermelon sauce beans, she could not keep the delicious food to herself. In addition to giving some to the Lu family, she also took two small jars and gave them to Aunt Han and Aunt Feng respectively.
Both of them were very happy to receive such wonderful tasting soy beans, and said a lot of good things to Xia Mingyue.
Xia Mingyue sat at each of the two houses and talked for a while before going back. When she came out of Feng's house, she happened to be seen by Ma.
Mr. Ma originally did not want to meet Xia Mingyue. When he saw her figure, he hurriedly backed out of the alley and walked aside. However, when he realized that Xia Mingyue was from Feng's When he came out of the house, he was so angry that he spat on the ground several times.
She has been really depressed these past few days.
First she was taught a lesson by Feng, and even those ignorant women also scolded her, which really made her lose face.
Later, she felt so angry that she simply went to East Street and North Street to find Luo Shi and Qiao Shi respectively, and told them not to be too honest and be deceived by Xia Mingyue's hypocritical appearance.
But Luo Shi and Qiao Shi, those two bastards who didn’t know the heart of a good person, not only did not listen to what she had to say, but they both turned cold-faced and scolded her.
Qiao, "If Mrs. Ma really has nothing to do, she will pick out the excrement from each household. If it is still not enough, she will go to a restaurant to find a job, preferably Specializing in the work of feeding fish to customers, if you are so picky, you will definitely be able to do a good job of feeding fish, and the customers will be very satisfied!”
Such a sinister and strange attitude really makes Ma family happy! Very angry.
But Luo Shi went even further.
Without even saying a few words, he picked up the water ladle and poured a spoonful of hot soup on her.
He was throwing insults and cursing at the same time, saying that dirty things like her should never get close to Leng Guo Chuan Chuan's body, so as not to dirty the ground.
Listen, is this what people say?
Do you think she is dirty or that she is too picky?
She obviously just wanted to help a bunch of two poor women and let them see Xia Mingyue's true face.
Instead of being grateful, these people treated her like this.
It’s really hateful!
In this case, let them go. She wanted to see how people who were friends with such a cunning couple like Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue would fare in the future.
The more Mr. Ma thought about the cold treatment he had received in the past few days, the angrier he became. He no longer avoided Xia Mingyue, and simply went into the alley, blocking Xia Mingyue's way.
"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Xia? Why do you have time to hang out today?" Mr. Ma crossed his arms with sarcasm in his eyes, "There's no need to trick others into joining your Xia Ji, it's all for you. Earn some money? ”
Xia Mingyue stopped and looked at the arrogant Ma, whose eyes were full of ridicule and anger. After a pause, she laughed.
The smile is as bright as the peach blossoms in March.
Ma Shi was suddenly startled.
She thought about Xia Mingyue's reaction when she saw her many times in her mind.
I was angry, busy arguing, and even yelling, but the only thing I didn't expect was that Xia Mingyue would laugh.
Still smiling so happily.
Ma Shi was a little panicked, "Why are you laughing!"
"No, it's nothing." Xia Mingyue waved her hand and pressed down the corners of her mouth, but her face was still full of joy, " It’s a coincidence that I met Lady Ma here. Is Lady Ma not busy today?”
Not waiting for Ma's answer, Xia Mingyue continued, "Yes, Madam Ma is destined to enjoy happiness, how can she be busy like me? I have just finished my family business and I have to go again. Just go to Buzhuang." (End of this chapter)
