Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 42 42 What's for Lunch Today ([-])
Li Hao and Li Yu all ran outside, and Lin He also prepared the ingredients for the dry-stir-fried rice field eel.

Guessing that the time was almost up, Li Yu was about to call Li Yu back to light the fire when he ran back by himself.

"Mother, father and Uncle Changsheng are both back, and have already reached the bridge."

Lin He, who had just filled up the chicken soup, didn't lift his head: "Got it, turn on the fire, and we can eat when your father and the others come back."

After cleaning the pot, Li Yu started the fire again. After the pot was heated, he scooped a large spoonful of lard.

Even she couldn't help but click her tongue, next time I'd better stew the soup, this fried eel is so frighteningly expensive!
The eels have been cleaned and coated with a thin layer of starch.

It was sweet potato starch. Lin He was surprised when he found it.

She thought that there was no starch, so she was going to wrap it in flour.

Flour is softer, while starch is more crunchy.

After the lard melted, wait for the temperature to rise a little more, let Li Yu turn on the fire, and pour all the eels wrapped in starch into it.

There was a burst of 'sizzling' sound in an instant, and the eel at the bottom had been fried to the point of curling, compared to the eel.

The oil was still a bit low, so Lin He turned it over with a spatula to ensure that every rice field eel would be cooked but not overcooked.

The rice field eel was quickly fried to a golden brown color, and it looked like it had swelled several times. It was a huge plate when served.

After frying, there was not much oil left in the pot, so Li Yu hurriedly asked Li Yu to lower the heat. After the oil temperature dropped, put the ginger and garlic in first, stir fry a few times, and then add the soaked dried chili and peppercorns.

After frying the aroma, pour in the deep-fried eel and stir fry evenly. After frying the taste, sprinkle a little coarse salt, and simply dry stir-fry the eel.

At this time, Li Hao could already hear Li Hao calling his father to wash his hands in the yard, and he could eat immediately.

When the eels were out of the pot and placed on a plate, Li Changhui came in as soon as the rice field eels were brought to the table.

"I'm back, wash your hands and take a rest, I'll fry some leeks and eat."

Without looking at Li Changhui's reaction, he hurriedly turned around and left.

There are only two pots in the house, one for cooking and the other for cooking rice. The rice is already steamed, but the pot for cooking rice is not convenient for cooking.

After brushing the pan again to add oil, I found that the eggs hadn't been beaten, and when the oil melted, the eggs were ready.

Pour in the egg liquid, turn over after a while, break up with a shovel after forming, add leeks, stir-fry and sprinkle with a little salt, the fragrant leek scrambled eggs are ready.

"Wow, sister-in-law, your cooking is too rich, right? Are they all meat dishes?"

Li Changsheng washed his hands and came in. He took a deep breath first, and the smell whetted his appetite, and his stomach started to growl.

"Isn't there also vegetarian dishes here? Have you washed your hands? Eat the vegetables first. I'll serve you rice."

Lin He came over with scrambled eggs with leeks and sour bamboo shoots, put them on the table, and then yelled at Li Hao outside the door.

Li Yu had consciously brought out the bowls and chopsticks, and was about to serve the meal, but Lin He called him away and told him to take the chopsticks over first.

Li Changsheng couldn't wait to sit down at the table, and was curiously observing the plate of dry-stir-fried eels: "Sister-in-law, is this a rice eel? This is the first time I've seen a rice field eel doing this."

If it weren't for the faintly exposed lines on it, it was indeed very similar to a rice field eel, and there was nothing else on the table that might be related to a rice field eel, so he couldn't be sure that it was a rice field eel.

In summer, almost every household will go to the fields to catch eels, most of which are sold, but occasionally they will keep them for a meal.

But in Li Changsheng's memory, rice field eels were always boiled in soup, and this was not only the first time he had seen them, but even the first time he had heard of them!
"This is called dry fried eel shreds. It's deep-fried. It tastes pretty good. Try it first."

Lin He came over with rice, and put a bowl in front of each of them, letting them eat first, and then served the rice for the others.

Li Yu had already gone to bring his younger brother back, and Li Changhui picked him up as soon as he entered the kitchen and asked him to help serve the meal.

The family quickly sat around the table, Lin Changhui didn't move his chopsticks, and everyone else was watching helplessly, waiting for Lin He to come over.

Lin He was a little puzzled: "What are you doing in a daze, eat, are you still hungry?"

"Hungry." Li Hao nodded seriously, how could he not be hungry?

But if Dad didn't eat it, they didn't dare to reach out.

"Eat quickly when you're hungry, and so is Changsheng. I've worked hard for you today. You can pick whatever you like. You're welcome."

While talking, he wanted to hug Li An so that Li Changhui could eat with peace of mind, but Li Changhui refused.

"An'er is seven months old, and he can eat meat. I'll find a smooth bone for him to taste."

Speaking of which, Li Changhui took a chicken claw, bit off the front toe, and peeled off the chicken skin, leaving only a smooth long leg bone.

As if Li An knew that this was an extra meal for him, as soon as the bone was handed over, he stretched out his hand, yelling 'ahhh', looking like a little glutton.

Lin He had never raised a child before, but now he was staring at him intently, and his heart was in his throat.

"Could it be too early, won't it get stuck? Will he have diarrhea after eating this?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, you can eat meat in seven months, and you can eat some meat that is easy to digest. This chicken has big bones, so it won't be swallowed, and it won't get stuck. An'er can only taste the smell of meat, it's okay. "

Although Li Changsheng didn't have any children yet, his brothers and sisters-in-law all had one, two, two or three children under their knees, and he spent more time taking care of the children than these two combined.

The smooth chicken leg bone was caught by Li An, and he quickly put it into his mouth. Although all the meat on the leg bone was removed, it was still stained with oil and smell.

This was the first time Ang Lee had tasted meat, and he kept yelling 'ahhhh' in his mouth when he was happy, and his face was full of novelty and excitement.

"He can really eat by himself. Speaking of which, when he was eating two days ago, he reached out to grab a bowl. Didn't he get hungry a long time ago?"

Lin He saw it strangely, and rushed the two brothers, Li Yu and Li Hao, who were sitting next to Li Changhui, directly opposite Li Changhui. She sat down on her own buttocks, and while eating, she turned her head from time to time to watch Li An gnawing on the bone.

Li An was raised very well. He ate polished rice porridge, rice paste, and egg custard in different ways, and he looked white and tender.

Lin He had always liked the soft and sticky baby, but now seeing his eating movements, he found it novel and cute.

A few rice field eels were put in her bowl: "Eat quickly, if you don't eat, they will eat up all the rice field eels."

Turning his head to look, he saw the other three eating, especially Li Yu and Li Hao, who were blowing 'shhhhhh' while eating.

Obviously, the handful of dried peppers in the dry-stir-fried eel was a bit beyond the tolerance of the two brothers.

But this aroma, this spicy taste, the more you eat, the more you want to eat it, right?
"I'm still addicted to vegetables." Lin He shook his head, but he was serious about eating, and he didn't forget to greet Li Changhui.

"Hurry up and eat, eat and rest for a while, Li Yu and I will go up the mountain in the afternoon."
