Chapter 181 Preparation
After much deliberation, I decided to plan pancakes, took some spare time in the afternoon to go into the space to distribute a ball of noodles, and thought that the other educated youths would be back to order soon, so I came out of the space, steamed sweet potatoes, mixed with cold dishes, and finished it in half an hour in one go.

Washing clothes and chatting, sitting and enjoying the shade, when the sky darkened and the girls went to bed, Si Ningning entered the space again.

After dealing with trivial matters in the space, Si Ningning took a handful of shallots and two green onions, and then went into the kitchen.

Mince shallots and prepare to boil scallion oil for a while.

After the scallions are peeled off, they are pulled into shreds with the help of a tableware fork, and then put in a basin and pushed under the faucet to add water to soak temporarily.

Pour oil into the pan and heat it over low heat, wait for the oil to warm up and add minced green onion, when the oil pan sizzled, Si Ningning dug out the electric baking pan and rolling pin from the cupboard.

Originally, I wanted to search to see if there were any small brushes that could be used to apply oil, but after searching for a long time, Si Ningning gave up.

There was smoky heat coming out of the pot, and the fragrance of green onions gradually wafted out. Si Ningning guessed that it was almost done, so he took a bowl, poured all the oil in the pot into the bowl, and put the reserved chopped green onion together Add to a bowl, add additional salt and chicken stock and mix well.

After doing all this, Si Ningning kneaded the pre-made noodles into small doses, rolled them into cake shapes with a rolling pin, and poured a very small portion of the scallion oil mixed in the bowl with his hands and chopsticks. On the cake, fold the cake to form a ball, and roll it out again with a rolling pin.

Repeat this four times, Si Ningning brushed a thin layer of oil on the electric baking pan, put the rolled out cakes in, put on the electric baking pan, listened to the "sizzling" sound inside, and waited quietly for 1 minute , When the electric baking pan was uncovered again, the first scallion pancake came out of the pan like this!

Si Ningning picked out the cake, endured the heat, tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth. The dough was well formed, and the number of times of rolling the dough was repeated, so that the texture was crispy and the onion fragrance was amazing, but...

It's just a little light.

Si Ningning added half a teaspoon of salt to the bowl in time for seasoning. After mixing well, he poked it with chopsticks and tried it. The taste was a bit salty, but if it was a pancake, it should be just right.

Si Ningning finished the first cake, and then made the remaining dough into a dozen scallion pancakes.

The child has a small appetite, and will save four for Sanae and Hegu for lunch tomorrow, and she and Huo Lang will share the rest.

Of course, bread alone is not enough.

Si Ningning cast his eyes on the shredded green onion soaked in the basin for a while, then took out a shredded green onion from it and put it into his mouth.

A bit spicy, but not as spicy as the first one.

"hiss……"

Si Ningning bit the tip of her tongue lightly, and looked for Hai Wan with a hiss.

Take out shredded green onion and squeeze to remove excess water, add two spoonfuls of chili powder, one spoonful of sugar, half a spoonful of salt, one spoonful of rice vinegar, one spoonful of light soy sauce, mix well and sprinkle with a spoonful of white sesame seeds, a large portion of cold green onion Silk is done.

The shredded green onion in cold salad was eaten by Si Ningning at a barbecue restaurant by chance when he and his classmates were skiing in the Northeast before time travelling. At that time, they thought it was delicious. When they went home, they searched for various recipes. This recipe tasted the closest.

Thinking about it, Si Ningning couldn't help but took out his chopsticks and took a bite.

Slightly spicy with a touch of sweetness, whether it is eaten as a cold dish or sandwiched in lettuce with barbecue, it is both refreshing and greasy, and the taste is very amazing.

After taking one bite, Si Ningning wanted to take a second bite, but thinking that it was a preparation for tomorrow, Si Ningning had no choice but to suppress his greed.

After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, Si Ningning went to the backyard to pick up eggs.

She didn't have anything specially for eggs before, so she used a stainless steel basin.

I haven't picked up the eggs in the backyard for two days, and today I went to pick up four.

Putting the eggs into the basin, Si Ningning counted them, there were sixteen in total.

He Gu and San Miao should like the scallion pancakes, but the cold scallion shreds...Si Ningning suddenly became a little unsure.

After thinking about it, Si Ningning walked to the pile of seasoning supplies, and found cinnamon, grass fruit, cloves, bay leaves and so on from the box where he took the big ingredients last time.

Take some of these ingredients and return them to the kitchen. Si Ningning pours about [-]% of the water into the deep pan, puts it down in turn, adds salt, chicken essence, soy sauce, and counts out ten eggs, washes them and puts them in.

Covering the pot and cooking it over low heat, Si Ningning turned around and went to the meat box outside the villa, and cut off a piece of skin two fingers wide.

She plans to marinate some more eggs, and this method of marinating eggs is learned from grandpa.

Grandpa said that when marinating eggs, add a piece of meat skin, wait for the water in the pot to boil, the fat will be separated from the meat skin, and slowly absorbed by the eggs, so that the marinated eggs will be more fragrant and more delicious.

Grandpa also said that if you want marinated eggs to taste better, besides the skin, there is another important point, that is the indispensable thirteen spices.

Pour one-third of the small bag of thirteen incense into it, Si Ningning put on the lid of the pot, stood with arms crossed, staring at the wall clock on the kitchen wall and waiting.

It took about seven or eight minutes, and the eggs were presumably cooked. The cover of Si Ningning's pot was lifted, and the rich and slightly heavy aroma of stewed meat wafted in the air with the heat.

Si Ningning slapped the front of his nose with his hands, and casually cracked the eggs in the pot with the back of a kitchen knife, then put the lid on the pot again to keep the stove on a low fire.

In the middle of this gap, she picked up the basin where she usually washes vegetables, planning to pick some cucumbers and wash them, preparing to eat them directly tomorrow.

Whether it is trees or vegetables in the space, they are growing very well, and the vegetables are green and oily. Although cucumbers are constantly making excuses to take them out, they are really consumed slowly.

Many of the rows of climbing vines that were erected before have been crushed and deformed. In addition to the fertile land, the production of cucumbers has more than doubled, and many melons and vines have fallen to the ground due to the weight. The patch of cucumbers looks like a mess.

This is nothing, the most important thing is that the melon vines on the shelf are still blooming, ready to bear new fruits...

In the beginning, it was because I accidentally sowed too many seeds. Looking at the strong melon seedlings, I couldn’t bear to waste them, so I spent a lot of effort in the follow-up. I cut bamboo and put on airs. I didn’t expect such an oolong in the end. .

Now I am reluctant to give up!

Si Ningning gritted his teeth, put the pot on the ground casually, put on his gloves and plucked the melon vines from eight ridges in one go, leaving only one ridge for daily consumption.

Cucumbers are picked and piled aside, and the melon vines are rolled up. Some of them are directly thrown into the pigsty, and the rest are waiting to be fed to the pigs in batches later.

Although there is only one ridge of land left, the yield is high and it grows fast. Even if the entire educated youth has seven or eight mouths and eats every day, it can still be supplied.

But having said that, with so many lands vacated at once, the field of vision seems to have opened up a lot.

Si Ningning sat on the ground wiping his sweat and panting. He didn't care whether the cucumbers were washed or not, so he picked one up and put it in his mouth, "creaking" and chewing.

After eating a cucumber, Si Ningning almost recovered. He went back to the kitchen and took a look at the pot. The oily marinade kept churning, and seemed to overflow the pot. Si Ningning turned off the fire immediately.

The eggs are already cooked, just put them in and soak them to taste. It doesn't have to be cooked on a fire.

Of course, it would be better if it was cooked on a fire, but that would require someone to keep an eye on it all the time, and Si Ningning doesn't have that condition for the time being.

Having just been busy working in the vegetable field in front for a while, Si Ningning is not sleepy now, so Si Ningning just tossed out a few more cabbages and started planting them.

It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, let's talk about it after planting it, what if it will be useful in the future?
But compared to all kinds of vegetables, Si Ningning actually wants to grow some grains and beans.

On the one hand, this kind of food belongs to grain, on the other hand, livestock like pigs and horses can grow fat only by eating grains and beans.

No matter how much melon vines and vegetable leaves are fed, they are only full of water and have no nutrition at all. Sometimes, because of the high water content, the frequency of excretion of pigs is indirectly increased, and the pigs can even become thinner as they are fed.

Due to the space situation, rice may not be able to grow, but wheat and beans should be possible. Now that there is no such seed in hand, Si Ningning intends to wait for the space to pay attention and see if he can get some from the production team.

After patting the dirt off the gloves, Si Ningning found a basin set aside, filled half a basin of cucumbers and went back to the kitchen to rinse it off. Afterwards, he took a quick shower and dried his hair to make room.

When her back touched the bed board, she couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

"Really... since when has sleeping become a kind of enjoyment?" Si Ningning muttered softly, took out his pocket watch and squinted at the hazy moonlight by the window.

21:[-]...

"Sleep, sleep!" Si Ningning turned over and rode directly on the small quilt.

In the dead of night, under the cry of "chirp chirp", a black grasshopper crawled out from the gap between the bricks and tiles, wanting to jump into the grass and take the opportunity to taste the first drop of morning dew before dawn, but just jumped out of the gap When he came out, a long tongue appeared across the sky, pulling it into his abdomen.

The toad with the bulge on its back twitched its jaws, and was quickly attracted by other small insects. It slowly changed its direction and jumped into the grass, disappearing.

Clumps of bamboo shadows swayed in the sound of the wind, black leaves covered the bright halo, as if thousands of years had passed, and as if it was just a blink of an eye, the silver full moon in mid-air faded, and then was replaced by a red disc.

In the early morning, the mountains were shrouded in light mist. Between the fields and trails, the dewdrops bent the weeds and slender waists, "tick" and fell down. The green long-legged praying mantis accidentally twisted his waist when passing by, and quickly followed the grass before being discovered. Jump from one end to the other.

There was a lot of noise in the educated youth spot. Someone resisted the scalding and grabbed a sweet potato from the pot, turned around and ran out:

"Hurry up, hurry up! I was dreaming in the morning, I got up late!"

"Where are you working today?"

"Liudaotian, what about you?"

"We're at the back of the production team..."

When Si Ningning came back from washing, he heard everyone's discussion, so he casually mentioned, "I'm going to the soybean field on the other side of the mountain today. The road is too far and I won't be back at noon. If you need hot food at noon, let me know in advance and let's see who goes first." Come back for a while."

"Is it far away from the production team? Are you safe alone?" Xu Shuhua asked.

Si Ningning replied with a faint smile, "It's not me, there are others."

Xu Shuhua nodded and did not speak again.

After the meal, seven or eight teenagers and girls dispersed, Si Ningning hastily tidied up the female educated youth's room, and went out with a basket on her back.

It was still early before the time to go to the pigsty, so Si Ningning didn't go to the production team, but went to Chen's house on the path along the ridge of the field.

When I first came, the educated youths would go out around eight o'clock, and the members of the third team would always be one step ahead of the educated youths.

Recently, due to the hot weather and rush harvest, although the start time in the afternoon was delayed by an hour, in order to avoid the scorching sun, the start time in the morning was also brought forward.

The educated youths went out at around 07:30, [-]:[-]. As a local member of the third production team, Huo Lang was also a strong laborer, so of course he was earlier than the educated youths. Therefore, when Si Ningning arrived at Chen's house, the Chen family only had Hegu and Sanmiao.

Sanae had combed her hair by herself, and was feeding the chickens with a big guillotine pressing the grass in the yard.

He Gu, on the other hand, was squatting under the eaves, holding an enamel jar in one hand and a toothbrush in the other, squinting his eyes and still dozing off.

Si Ningning patted the courtyard gate, "San Miao, He Gu."

"Sister Ningning!"

"Si Ningning!"

He Gu woke up instantly and got up almost at the same time as Sanae.

Si Ningning nodded with a smile, and directly explained the purpose of coming, "Has your elder brother mentioned it to you? We are going to the soybean field today, and we won't be back at noon."

"Brother said it, and he also prepared something for us at noon in advance." Sanae turned sideways, pointing her little finger in the direction of the main room.

Go straight into the main room and step over two door openings to the kitchen.

Si Ningning looked over, and could still vaguely see smoke wafting from the kitchen.

"What did he do to you?"

He Gu walked up to Si Ningning in two steps, and answered first, "It's steamed sweet potato and bran vegetable dumplings!"

"Sweet potatoes are coarse grains, so it's okay to eat. What's the nutrition in bran vegetable dumpling?" Si Ningning pressed Hegu's head and pushed it aside, "Be obedient and brush your teeth!"

After saying that, his eyes turned to San Miao, Si Ningning lowered his shoulders and carried the basket, his light-colored lips raised an arc, "I have prepared some too, let's go into the house and find two bowls to pack."

San Miao is very polite, she had the experience of eating at the educated youth order, she thought that Si Ningning brought the things here because of her elder brother's permission, so she nodded and led Si Ningning to the kitchen together.

Houses in rural areas are slightly more spacious than houses in cities, and some commune members may feel that their houses are crowded, but in fact, it is because several generations of a family are crowded together.

And there are only three people in the Chen family, so it looks extra spacious inside and out.

Si Ningning looked into the kitchen along the road. There was still an open flame in the bathroom, and hot smoke was rising from the pot. She lifted the lid of the pot curiously and took a look. Inside the pot was a bamboo steaming plate with sweet potatoes on it, and several fist-sized The grey-brown dumplings should be the Kangcai dumplings He Gu mentioned just now.

Asking Sanae to bring the bowls and plates, Si Ningning took out the things he had prepared earlier in the morning.

The scallion pancakes were placed on a plate, the shredded scallions and two marinated eggs were put into bowls, and a few small green cucumbers were taken out of the basket.

"Sister Ningning, isn't this too rich! If my elder brother sees it, he will definitely say it's too extravagant."

Looking at the eggs and pancakes, Sanae's saliva was almost too much to swallow.
