Chapter 275 Stuffed Pork with Mushrooms
The three of Lou Shanzi learn cooking skills here. The stove is easier to use and the seasonings are more complete.
Seeing Xia Mingyue wearing an apron and rolling up her sleeves to scrape fish scales, Lou Shanzi hurriedly came over and said, "Master, do you want to eat fish? I'll do it."
Lou Shanzi's cooking skills are now greatly improved Growth, learning ability and research ability have been improved, and the dishes cooked are also very good.
"Don't show your courtesy blindly." Ms. Lu stopped at the side, "In normal times, you would just cook a dish for your master if you were willing to do it, but today it can't be done. Today, the Luying Commander is back. The food needs to be cooked by your master to be delicious.”
Lu joked, Lou Shanzi and others laughed, and no longer insisted, they just vacated the stove and prepared all kinds of seasonings for Xia Mingyue's convenience.
Xia Mingyue became busy.
Scrape the scales and gills off the fresh grass carp, kill it and wash it. Cut both sides with a knife and add cold oil to a hot pan. Fry until both sides are golden brown before serving.
Cook garlic cloves, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, small red peppers, and bean paste in the oil pan until fragrant. Stir-fry the red oil and pour in rice wine. Then pour in boiling water, white sugar, and soy sauce. Add the fried fish. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat and then simmer a cup of tea. Add some balsamic vinegar and reduce the juice over high heat.
Put some coriander on top of the pot as a garnish, and the braised fish is rich in color, fragrant and delicious, and the soup is thick and ready to serve.
Stir the meat filling with butter, soy sauce, chopped green onion, minced garlic, salt, etc., stuff it into the shiitake mushrooms with the stems removed, and then put the minced meat side into the pot and fry for half a cup of tea until the skin is cooked. When golden, put it on a plate and steam it for about one cup of tea.
A lot of soup will ooze out of the steamed mushrooms. Pour out the soup, add water and sweet potato starch, stir evenly, cook until thickened, and pour it onto the steamed mushroom meat again.
I fried a lotus root stick, mixed an almond shepherd's purse, took some Lou Shanzi's chopped green onion pancakes, served two bowls of rice porridge, and started the meal.
Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan ate dinner alone in the house.
The braised fish is tender and delicious, with a rich flavor and the fragrance of fish. The meat stuffed with mushrooms is full of ingredients, and the taste is extremely tender and delicious.
Lu Qiyan was very satisfied with his meal and was full of praise for Xia Mingyue's cooking.
"When I just came back, I heard my wife and Sister-in-law Lu talking about looking for trouble, but what kind of trouble did they encounter?" Lu Qiyan asked.
"Some time ago, I took out the money I saved and bought an orchard..." Xia Mingyue pointed out that Zhang Chunwang went to the orchard to cause trouble, and that she bought Zhuang Cui to work with her. Make it clear.
"I guess that Zhang Chunwang is a bit pretentious, but to be on the safe side, I asked shopkeeper Ge to inquire about it and see what's going on."
"Yes." Lu Qiyan nodded and continued to eat. .
The spring days are gradually getting longer, and after dinner, it is not completely dark yet.
People in the central kitchen began to return home after work, and even Lou Shanzi and others who were studying cooking also left one after another.
Lu Qiyan helped Xia Mingyue with some household chores, especially looking for areas that required strenuous work. He even called Zhuang Cui over to see how she was doing.
Zhuang Cui knew that Lu Qiyan was in the military and did not dare to neglect him. He only showed Lu Qiyan a set of boxing techniques that he had learned from his father, and even staged a trick of breaking bricks with his bare hands as a demonstration. own strength.
After reading this, Lu Qiyan nodded, "The strength is okay, but the boxing moves are a bit pretentious. It's okay to scare people, but it's not very practical. It can be streamlined a bit."
After that, Lu Qiyan demonstrated the simplified boxing techniques to Zhuang Cui again, and also suggested some methods that she usually used to train agility and strength, asking her to practice more every day.
“Thank you, Commander Lu.” Zhuang Cui handed over his hand.
Lu Qiyan also returned the favor, "I don't usually stay at home, so I would like to ask Mrs. Zhuang to take care of my wife for me."
The attitude is humble and respectful, and the tone is sincere, which is completely different. This is the attitude a master should have toward his slaves.
But when she thought that he was doing it for Lady Xia, Zhuang Cui felt relieved and warm, and she responded loudly, "Commander Lu, don't worry, Lady Xia gave me a bite of food, I will do my best ." Lu Qiyan nodded and explained Zhuang Cui's future training instructions. Seeing that the night was getting darker, they went back to their houses to rest.
After washing up, when Lu Qiyan returned to the room, he saw Xia Mingyue still reading the storybook.
He remembered that when he came back last time, Xia Mingyue was also reading the storybook, and she was very addicted to it. Even though she was sleepy, she still kept reading and even fell asleep while reading the storybook.
Then should he consider picking up some story books for Xia Mingyue, maybe they can suit her needs?
Lu Qiyan thought about it and walked to his bed. After thinking for a long time, he picked up his quilt and stood in front of Xia Mingyue's Kang.
Xia Mingyue noticed and was startled, "Lu...what's wrong, husband?"
Hearing this title, the corners of Lu Qiyan's mouth curled up slightly, and then he frowned, "There seems to be a leak over there."
"Leaking?" Xia Mingyue hurriedly got out of bed, put on her shoes and went to check.
It did rain in the evening the day before yesterday.
The spring rain fell for a long time and did not stop until noon yesterday.
At that time, Xia Mingyue and Jiang Zhuguo checked all parts of the house to see if there were any leaks in the roof and windows, so that they could hire someone to repair them before the rainy season.
Did you not notice that Lu Qiyan’s kang was leaking?
Xia Mingyue held up the oil lamp and looked at it carefully.
The kang is clean and there is no moisture. The roof and walls are also in normal condition, and there are no traces of rain leakage.
"There's no rain..." Xia Mingyue turned around and asked in confusion.
At this time, Lu Qiyan, who had already hugged the quilt and got on the kang, was covering himself with the quilt. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Really, maybe I saw it wrong. It's getting late. Madam, please go to bed early."
Xia Mingyue, "..."
Why do you feel that Lu Qiyan did this on purpose, just to find a reason to sleep with her?
Xia Mingyue's eyes rolled around in a circle, and then she pretended to be pale, and shouted loudly, "Bugs, there are bugs on the kang!"
Lu Qiyan yawned and rolled over. Personally, he looked indifferent to this.
Xia Mingyue, "..."
Well, this trick seems to be of no use.
Seeing that sleeping in the same bed was inevitable, Xia Mingyue got into bed a little awkwardly.
Fortunately, each person had a quilt, and it was still spring, and they were all wearing relatively thick underwear, so I didn’t feel too embarrassed.
Xia Mingyue took a long time to lie down with difficulty, and then let out a long breath.
Debating whether to extinguish the candles on the table, Lu Qiyan said in a deep voice next to him, "I'm a little afraid of the dark, so don't turn out the lights."
Huh...
Xia Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. , but the corner of his mouth twitched after a moment.
