Chapter 16 Cabbage and Pork Vermicelli

In addition to clearing the way for furniture, Zhong Zhiran also wanted to treat the village chief's family to a meal and build a house by himself. The village chief's family really helped too much, and Zhong Zhiran was not a heartless white-eyed wolf.

Since we are going to cook for guests, we should take out the iron pot in the space. The fire kang in the new house has been burning all night last night. It will be enough to keep it burning for another day. Zhong Zhiran will prepare dinner to eat in the new house. , used as a greenhouse.

Compared with the previous two times he came to the town, Zhong Zhiran was not in a hurry to go back this time and was ready to go shopping. The idea was beautiful, but the reality was very skinny.

Although Ning City, where the original owner's home is located, also belongs to the Northeast, the gap between the urban area and the town is not the slightest, and even the types of goods in the supply and marketing cooperative are incomparable.

This also put Zhong Zhiran in a difficult position. He couldn't treat the guests by himself and had to go to Murakami's house to get the food. After thinking about it, Zhong Zhiran decided to do the roughest thing and make dumplings. If there were no vegetables, he would make pure meat.

Anyway, she had a lot of meat. In addition to pork, there was also beef and mutton in the space. She could never finish it all by herself.

Each brigade has ox carts, but they don’t come to town every day. Just like today, the ox carts from the Struggle Brigade didn’t come.

Zhong Zhiran finally asked the bullock carts from other brigades to help deliver things. At this time, there was no hiring. If someone helped, he would give them a thank you gift. In principle, he would not make any mistakes.

During the oxcart trip, Zhong Zhiran gave him a pound of brown sugar, which made the driver laugh so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Zhong Zhiran was riding a bicycle and slowly followed the ox cart to the brigade, and a crisp car bell rang behind him.

Zhong Zhiran and the bullock cart both moved aside, and a bicycle quickly passed by. It turned out that it was the person responsible for delivering letters at the post office in the town.

Zhong Zhiran didn't take it seriously and continued to slowly follow the uncle's bullock cart.

The furniture on the oxcart looked used at first glance, and it was less sensational than the brand-new furniture. As soon as the oxcart stopped in front of the new house, Liu Yuzhou, who had stayed at home, walked out quickly.

"Does this cost a lot of money so soon?"

"It didn't cost much. They're all old. Where are they?"

"We're going up the mountain again. They said the autumn harvest is coming soon. We need to prepare more. We should have enough for at least a month."

Zhong Zhiran nodded, and the three of them, including the driver, worked together to move everything out of the car. There was a lot of furniture, and some were placed in the east and west rooms. Even a writing table was placed in the kitchen for placing dishes. Board, the cabinet below is used to store rice, flour, grains and oil.

"It's done this time. We have all the pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. You even got the cutting boards and knives. Is the scrap yard so complete?"

Zhong Zhiran only gave him an expression that said, "You talk a lot of nonsense." '

Liu Yuzhou felt that he was being treated differently. Zhong Zhiran always smiled like a flower when he faced those aunts, as if he had been smeared with honey. In just a few days, he almost became the nephew of the aunts of the entire brigade...

Zhong Zhiran didn't care what Liu Yuzhou was complaining in her heart. She went out to get some yellow mud, brought it over with a shovel, and put the iron pot on it. It was almost noon, and she still had to cook for Liu Yuzhou and the four of them.

Either way, people can't be soft-hearted. At first, they agreed to stay with a few people for a few days, but these people were so angry that they all drank so hard that they forced her to make food as long as she wanted to make it for them. Just one bite.

In addition to food, there were also bacon, canned meat, canned fish, smoked chicken and rabbit, etc. Zhong Zhiran could clearly see that these goods had handed over all the food. Every bite is very hard to eat.Zhong Zhiran took out a bowl of white flour and three bowls of cornmeal from the grain bag and poured them into a basin. Taking advantage of Liu Yuzhou's absence, he also put some yeast powder in the space and kept awake while the noodles were ready.

I washed and cut the cabbage I brought from the Educated Youth Point into strips for later use. The Educated Youth Point has its own land, but the variety is very limited.

At this time, the cabbage was about to be stuffed with mostly green leaves. I cut a small pot full of pork belly and put it aside.

I thought before that there was no iron pot, so Liu Yuzhou would put firewood in the hole of the kang to light the fire. Now he added a handful of firewood and the fire started.

After filling two ladles of water, he threw in a handful of vermicelli. This big pot cooks very quickly. It didn't take long for the pot to boil. After scalding the vermicelli until soft, Zhong Zhiran officially started cooking.

Simple and crude, cabbage, pork and vermicelli noodles, the name of the dish is clear and the method is extremely simple.

Heat oil in an iron pot, heat the meat and stir-fry over high heat. After the meat changes color, throw in the cabbage and continue to stir-fry. When the cabbage is wilted, you can fill it with soup and put the vermicelli directly on top.

Zhong Zhiran brought over the noodles and the basin that he had made before, took a piece and rolled it into a ball the size of a fist. After flattening it slightly, he aimed at the edge of the pot and puffed it up.

Because the pot is hot, the dough will stick to it firmly. She has seen Li Cuihong do this before. Most locals do this. This is called sticking big pancakes. When the vegetables are cooked, the pancakes will also be cooked. , so it is also called Yiguo.

Liu Yuzhou's home is in Haishi. He has eaten pancakes in the past few days, but this is the first time he has seen how to make them. He was surprised and a little worried at the same time.

It’s no wonder Liu Yuzhou was worried, Zhong Zhiran was also very nervous about it. To be honest, it seemed quite simple when I watched it, but it was still a bit difficult to actually do it.

Li Cuihong was cooking before, and Zhong Zhiran was responsible for lighting the fire. Li Cuihong also told her the embarrassing story of the first time she posted a big pancake.

In addition to the fire kang, another magic feature for heating in rural areas of Northeast China in winter is the fire wall. It can dissipate heat just like the fire kang in winter. It has the same effect as the heater. The fire wall is usually connected to the stove mouth.

At that time, Li Cuihong was pasting big pancakes for the first time under the guidance of her mother. She aimed at the edge of the pot, raised her hands and lowered her hands, and the dough was blown onto the wall of fire. It is said that she even received a beating at that time.

When Li Cuihong was talking about it, Zhong Zhiran was also very happy. When Zhong Zhiran actually started to operate it, Zhong Zhiran was really afraid that he would burn his dough on the wall. Fortunately, he was pretty accurate.

After about another 10 minutes, Zhou Xingyu, Jiang Heng and Tian Zeyu came back with another cart of firewood. Each of the three bicycles had a bundle of firewood on each side. The amount of firewood they brought back in one afternoon was considerable.

Although the kang was not dry yet, several people's luggage had been moved here early in the morning, leaving An Lingyu alone at the educated youth point.

When Zhong Zhiran saw that the people were back, he lifted the lid of the pot and started cooking. He used a shovel to grab the big pancakes one by one. When no one was around, Zhong Zhiran sprinkled some more beef powder, stirred evenly and served the dishes.

A few people didn't dare to sit there like an uncle and wait for Zhong Zhiran to serve him. Zhong Zhiran just looked a little softer, but if he got angry, let alone taking advantage of the meal, Zhong Zhiran would tell them to get out in a minute.

After washing their hands, several people served the dishes, and those who held the bowls and chopsticks, a large pot full of vegetables, and a large pot of pancakes. Zhong Zhiran's main thing is to have a large amount.

Looking at the food on the table, everyone except Zhong Zhiran was secretly glad that Zhong Zhiran really knew how to cook!
