Chapter 157
The "mansion" is above the rice fields, so to get here you have to go up the stone steps beside the fields.
"Yang and your home are really great." When they got closer, Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but admire such a beautiful mansion.
The dog has been barking for a long time. Yang He's parents, brother and sister-in-law heard the noise and came out. Old Yang saw Zhou Zhi carrying the machine from a distance: "Hey hey hey, the elbow is coming! You kid! You are almost becoming a stranger! "
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. Uncle, I'll admit it if you want to hit me or scold me!" Zhou Zhi felt very friendly when he saw Lao Yangtou, and said hello to the others: "Hello, brother and sister-in-law! OK! ”
Yang He's sister-in-law saw the machine carried by Zhou Zhi and Mu Ruyun: "Did you buy the beater? Oh, thank you so much."
"You can't thank me." As he spoke, the team came to the open door. On the dam, Zhou Zhi carefully put down the machine and said with a smile: "Thanks to Shu Yi's father, Jiang Uncle has been a big help. Shu Yi, I call you uncle and eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Jiang Shuyi blushed again. Zhou Zhi is so careless and often gives out some "information" inadvertently. Let people know that their relationship is a little different from ordinary friends.
But he still lowered his head and greeted others in a small voice: "Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, hello."
"Hey, this little girl, you have obviously helped us, why are you so embarrassed? What?" Yang He's mother put her hands on the apron twice, and took Jiang Shuyi's hand: "What a beautiful girl, Yang He's female classmates are all so good-looking, come in quickly."
Zhou Zhi is basically a half-child in this family, and he is still the most favored one. When he comes in, he can make tea, find melon seeds, sesame candies, and cut grapefruits skillfully, even more skillfully than Yang He.
Yang He handed the meat and braised meat to his brother and sister-in-law, and then asked if the family had rice.
Lao Yangtou said: "The new rice has come, there is no need to beat it. Your sister-in-law has also made fermented glutinous rice. Let's have a poached egg for each person first."
Seeing the eldest brother carrying a kitchen knife, he was about to go. Later, Zhou Zhi quickly stopped him: "Brother, stop working so hard. We'll make dinner for you. Bringing meat and fat sausages, plus roasted pork will be enough for tonight. It's really not To be polite, killing the chicken is tomorrow morning."
"Hahaha..." The elder brother was also amused by Zhou Zhi's last sentence. Although the country people speak straightforwardly, they still speak politely. Thoughtful, usually those who say this are close relatives, so he said: "Then I'll cut the bacon and sausage and cook them quickly."
"Let Yang He go." Zhou Zhi said: "It's serious that we install the machine first."
The serious name of this machine should actually be "dry and wet multifunctional grinder". In addition to rice, It can also be used to make rice noodles. It consists of a bracket, motor, belt, machine head, hopper and other components.
In addition to beating batter, it can also be used to beat powder and adjust the thickness of the batter. It is a very useful tool in the countryside.
We didn’t have an electric drill at home, so we couldn’t fix the base, but we did have bricks and cement, so Zhou Zhi and his eldest brother simply made a square frame out of bricks and cement, which could just fit the base into the frame.
The rest is installation. Zhou Zhi helped with the assembly while explaining the method of use to his elder brother.
The sister-in-law came over with a bowl of fermented glutinous rice eggs: "I'll eat this first to finish the meal. In the countryside, dinner starts late."
"Yes, you can steam rice noodles and steamed meat at night. Milk-preserving pork and fat intestines are both ready-made. ." Zhou Zhi suddenly thought.
"By the way, try making rice noodles!" The eldest brother also responded: "My daughter-in-law is going to mix rice noodles, let's try it!"
The rice noodles for steamed pork are rice plus chili pepper spices, and every family in rural areas All housewives know it.
Zhou Zhi was responsible for holding the shelf, and the elder brother was responsible for the operation. Two kilograms of rice noodles of moderate thickness were quickly produced.
"It's so neat, so fast!" Sister-in-law was very happy: "Tomorrow, sister-in-law will make bream and chili for you, and you can take the elbow back to eat!"
As soon as Zhou Zhi mentioned this, the saliva in his cheeks started to flow, so hurry up Filled with a mouthful of poached eggs as a buffer: "That's great, thank you sister-in-law, I'm not welcome."
< br>"Why are you being polite to us! You have gained a harvest with your second child, and now you can still take care of the family, but we are not being polite to you!"
"That's it! As a family, you're welcome!" You're welcome, I mean you can make it yourself. Steamed pork intestines are a delicacy that can't be disappointed, so they need to be done carefully.
Wash the fat intestine inside and out, cut it into sections, open a bottle of Touqu, pour in white wine, and rub it with green onion and ginger water.
The milk-preserved pork was originally intended to be cooked twice a day, but now it is also cut into thick pieces.
The bottom dish is simple. Now the main room is filled with freshly harvested sweet potatoes and old pumpkins. These two are steamed. The rice noodles are soaked in the oil from the steamed fat intestines and fatty meat, which is fragrant and delicious. Sweet, that’s the best base dish.
However, although Zhou Zhi likes meat dishes the most, he actually doesn’t like this kind of starchy food. He frowned and thought about what else to add to it.
Yang He knew Zhou Zhi’s foodie attributes very well: “Elbow, go pick green beans in the vegetable field behind the house.”
"Take a photo!" Zhou Zhi patted his thigh: "This will make me excited!"
So the base dish became three kinds - sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and green beans.
Two kinds of meat and vegetables - milk-preserving meat and fatty intestines.
So steamed pork with vermicelli noodles became the main dish tonight. With the addition of bacon sausage, roasted pork and vegetables, it was already delicious enough.
There is no shortage of fresh seasonal vegetables. Now is the time when autumn and winter vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, tofu, ginger, radish and carrots are on the market. Mix and match them as you like. .
To make steamed pork delicious, in addition to cooking some white wine, there are two other keys - don't use raw watercress, stir-fry it and then chop it into small pieces. The second thing is... add sugar.
Since the Tang Dynasty, Sichuan has been the place of production of sugar frosting, so the use of sugar is very common in Sichuan cuisine. There is even a rumor that the masters of Sichuan cuisine will add a little sugar at the end of each dish to enhance the freshness. Same as MSG.
Zhou Zhi was responsible for the seasoning, while the sister-in-law began to clean the steamer. Ye Xin was also a good hand, changing the knife on the sweet potatoes and pumpkins.
The remaining girls just participated, with a play mentality rather than a work mentality.
Guan Tingting is peeling the leaves of the cabbage. She can have the luxury of leaving only the heart, because the leaves outside are used to feed pigs and chickens and ducks, so they will not be wasted.
Zhang Xinyi was chatting with Jiang Shuyi while tearing the beans' tendons.
Jiang Shuyi used chopsticks to scrape the old ginger's skin with the fringed edge of that section. Zhou Zhi had just learned this trick.
While looking at Zhou Zhi who was busy at the door of the kitchen, his eyes were very soft.
Guan Tingting put away the four cabbage hearts and threw the remaining cabbage leaves into the basket happily. She looked up and saw the look in Jiang Shuyi's eyes towards her brother Jiuzi. She suddenly thought of something and her mouth dropped. stand up:" It’s unfair!”
“Ah, what’s wrong with Tingting?” Jiang Shuyi was interrupted by Guan Tingting’s shout, and her heart was beating wildly: “Tingting, what did you say...”< br>
Jiang Shuyi and Guan Tingting are no strangers because they have been going to the dormitory of the sugar and wine company for a long time.
“Take photos!” Guan Tingting’s mouth pouts: “Sister Shu Yi has so many beautiful photos at Brother Zhuzi’s place, all taken at this time!”
“This The first time I'm around, he won't Bring a camera! It's not fair!"
"What...no...nothing...so many...Xinyi and Xinxin...they...also..." Jiang Shuyi gave Guan Tingting this sharp question. I stuttered.
