Chapter 19 Excellent cooking skills
Whether it's big or small, Lijiacun's "communication ability" is still very strong. In the morning, I told the aunt about the Douyin account. After mutual communication, now basically most of the villagers know about it.
Many people came to like it. Some people couldn't send text and asked others to leave messages for them.
This is not unrelated to the good foundation Li Xiang laid in the intelligence team.
Of course, there are also people who gossip, such as the Li Jintang family. The one who secretly said before that if Li Xiang got Cai'er pregnant, it was Li Jintang's mother-in-law.
Naturally, these words reached Jiang Cai'er's parents, and the old couple became really sulky. However, they were not targeting Li Xiang and Cai'er, but those who made irresponsible remarks.
Not to mention that Li Xiang and his daughter are like siblings, even if they are really together, they feel that it is not unacceptable.
Li Xiang has good character and good looks. He is also a college student. Although Li Xiang's family is a little poorer, they are not snobbish people.
In the future, they will marry their daughter, not sell her. As long as the daughter likes it, finds a man who is really good to her, and has good character, then it is acceptable.
Li Xiang and Jiang Caier went home. Along the way, they met many aunties. They both had sweet words and greeted them warmly. Everyone cheered him on!
This moved Li Xiang very much.
In a big city, I don’t know anyone, I live between two o’clock every day, live in a very expensive single room, and work hard as a cow and horse. I don’t know how I got through those days. It’s better to go back to the village!
After returning home, Li Xiang asked Jiang Cai'er to do his homework at home first, while he took the high-density knife to the back mountain bamboo forest.
If you want to get something delicious for Cai'er, then you must get something delicious. Get some food that you can’t find anywhere else, something that even if you have money you can’t buy it!
He came to the "Second-Level Mutated Creature Golden Thunder Bamboo" that he had previously marked, selected the outermost one, and immediately waved the high-density knife. With a "click", the bowl-thick bamboo broke.
Looking at the blade again, it is still bright and sharp, without any chips or curls.
Li Xiang liked this knife more and more.
If it were made in any other style, it might be a controlled knife and could not be taken out, but this is just a woodcutter and a farm tool!
The end of the world has not yet come, and no extraordinary particles have emerged yet. These golden thunder bamboos only have potential and will mutate in the future. For now, they are still ordinary bamboos.
And bamboo is a plant that can grow again as long as its roots are still there.
Normally Li Xiang would be reluctant to chop, isn't there an important guest here?
System: "Congratulations to the host for cutting down a second-level Golden Thunder Bamboo and receiving a surprise reward: three first-level exotic grass Snow Skirt White Rhizome."
Three flowers were too few, so Li Xiang was cruel and cut down three more plants, harvesting twelve first-level exotic grasses, Snow Skirt White Sun, which could be considered as enough for a dish.
It cannot be cut down any more. If it is really cut down, it will be a huge loss. Let the water flow slowly and wait for it to grow slowly.
The mutated spiritual grass distributed by the system may have been distributed directly to the system warehouse from the future or another dimension. It is genuine. If Jiang Caier eats it, it will be of great benefit to the body. It may also improve mental strength and intelligence. Wait for it later. When you take the college entrance examination, you will get better results.
As for the cut bamboo, drag it back and throw it in the backyard, where it can be used to make many things.
Afterwards, Li Xiang drove to the town to buy vegetables and treat guests to dinner. Two or three dishes would definitely not be enough, at least seven or eight.
Halfway through, I passed a temporary market, which was open in a small forest on the roadside. The people selling and buying vegetables were farmers from the surrounding villages. Because the town and the county were relatively far away, such a place was created.
It doesn’t happen every day, and if it rains heavily, there might not be anyone there.
Li Xiang had better luck today. He saw someone selling live fish. They said they had just caught them from the river last night. They had cockroaches and crucian carp, so Li Xiang bought a few.
He also saw someone selling mutton, which was also freshly killed. It was very fresh and had a relatively light smell. Li Xiang cut off a few kilograms and bought a piece of sheep scorpion.
The Miao people actually have many taboos, such as not eating mutton, beef, pork, dog meat, chicken blood, chicken liver, chicken legs, etc., but Jiang Caier does not have any of them. After all, she is not a pure Miao girl, she is half Han, and she is a woman of the new era.
Her mother may have it, but Jiang Cai'er doesn't pay attention to these things.
Apart from anything else, the school she attended was mostly Han Chinese, and the school cafeteria had a relatively small variety of dishes. If she really wanted to be particular, she would have to starve to death. Even if they don't starve to death, they will suffer from malnutrition.
If your physical strength cannot keep up, your academic performance will definitely be affected.
Li Xiang bought a few more pieces of tofu. It looked like it was almost done, so he went back directly without going to town.
When he got home, it was almost time, and Li Xiang started cooking.
In the newly built semi-open kitchen in the backyard, the light is brighter and the environment is cleaner.
He learned to build the firewood stove himself, and it was pretty good for a few days, but he didn't know how long it would last. Anyway, even if it collapses, just build another one.
Jiang Cai'er helped out on the side, while grandma helped add firewood.
Adding firewood is also a technical job that requires rich experience. There are particularities in when the fire should be hotter and when it should be lighter.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When grandma lights the fire, Li Xiang doesn't need to prompt her, and the heat is always satisfactory.
The first dish is braised pork belly.
Wild croaker, the ingredients are fresh. After processing, make a few cuts on the fish, wash it and set aside.
Pour an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil into the pot. After the oil is hot, put the fish into the pot and fry until both sides are golden brown. This step is to make the fish skin crispy and also to remove the fishy smell.
Then stir-fry the seasonings until fragrant, leave the oil in the pot, add sliced ginger and garlic, add sliced green onions, and stir-fry until fragrant.
Pour in an appropriate amount of water (water enough to cover the fish body), add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and salt, wait until the soup thickens and remove from the pot.
Li Xiang's craftsmanship is still very good. After putting it on the plate, it is full of color, flavor and taste, making people salivate.
The second dish is crucian carp and tofu soup. The stewed soup is as white as milk, delicious and calcium-rich, suitable for all ages. One of the techniques is to stew over high heat. The stronger the fire, the whiter the soup will be. Needless to say, the firepower of the Li family's wood-fired stove goes without saying.
The third dish is boiled mutton. When it comes out of the pot, a large amount of dry red pepper cut into small pieces is sprinkled on it, and then hot oil with Sichuan peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns are added to stir-fry the fragrant aroma. It is simply fragrant.
The fourth course is the toughest dish: braised pork ribs with first-order exotic grass snow skirt and white fungus.
Due to the use of first-order spiritual grass, the aroma of this dish is very different from the other dishes. When Jiang Cai'er helped serve the dish, she couldn't help but take a deep breath of the aroma: "Brother Li Xiang, this dish is so fragrant, I'm so excited I’m going to drool! ”
Li Xiang laughed: "It tastes good, so eat more. It is a way of supporting brother Li Xiang!"
"I didn't expect you to be good at cooking, brother. I remember you didn't seem so capable before, haha."
Li Xiang explained: "I got it from working outside and cooking my own food every day." After all, living in a big city is not easy, so you can save a little if you can. It costs a lot to eat out every day.
Moreover, after the end of the world, there are fewer people opening shops, and almost all of them do it themselves. In this precarious era, going out is full of dangers, why do you still expect to order takeout?
