Chapter 56 Taking Over the Kitchen
When Yuansi got up the next day, she saw that the rope had been pulled up in the yard, and the little floral cloth she brought back was blowing in the wind.

After she washed up, she was called by the old lady to have breakfast.

Cooked noodles in corn mush.

Yuansi pointed to the green lump inside and asked, "What is this? You wouldn't add poplar leaves to it, would you?"

Seeing her hellish look, the old lady burst out laughing, "Don't worry, I know you don't like that thing, how dare I take it, it's a wild vegetable, it tastes good. I also added it to you Meat, eat quickly."

Yuansi was relieved at this point, picked up a bowl that had already been filled, and pulled it into her mouth. There was indeed meat in it, but it was very, very little. There were probably not ten pieces in this pot.

"Mom, our family is not short of food anymore, can we eat some decent food and cook well." Yuansi was very helpless.

"What do you mean? Why is this not serious?" The old lady was a little confused.

"If we want to make porridge, we should make porridge properly. Can we not put so many messes in it? If we want to eat noodles, we should boil them in water; If they are mixed together, the original delicious food will smell bad." Yuansi has long wanted to talk about this issue, but before the family had little food and firewood, she was embarrassed to say it, but now it is different, she I have brought back so much food, and there are so many straws outside, which can be used as firewood for a period of time, so why can't I cook well.

"You went out for a trip, so poor that you learned a lot when you came back. Cooking noodles and vegetables in this sticky porridge is a way of eating passed down by your ancestors. No one has said anything bad for so many years. Just you, poor That's a lot." The old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with her own cooking, she had been eating this way since she was a child, and everyone else was eating this way, and she didn't hear anyone say anything. "Besides, there is only such a crock pot in the family that can cook. As you said, everything is cooked separately. How much work and firewood will be spent on a meal."

"Isn't there those straws outside? Let's burn them first. If it's not enough, I'll go pick some up and fill up our firewood shed." Yuansi really doesn't want to be fooled around like this, she can do it well for dinner.

"No need, our woodshed is still full and we can't fit it in." The old lady said quickly.

Yuansi was suspicious, she hadn't visited the firewood room when she came back, "I'm leaving, haven't you lit the fire yet?" Otherwise, it might still be full.

"Can I be like you? Even if I have it, I can't rush. I have to save a little water. When I am at home, a handful of firewood is enough to make a meal. If I have time, I can go out and pick up some." The old man My wife is used to being diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, even if she is in the family, she is not willing to use it.

Yuansi was speechless after hearing this, what use is there for her to use the firewood in the house like this.No, two people with different living habits will definitely have conflicts when they live together. For the stability and unity of the family, one person can only be assimilated by the other, and then the pace can be consistent.

She decided that she must get over the old lady's reluctance, and she will work hard to assimilate the old lady into a comrade in the united front.

"Mom, it's hard work for you to work every day. From now on, I'll cook three meals a day at home." She decided to work harder and started to control from the kitchen at home.

"Why are you so tired? I only need that kind of work, so I don't need you." The old lady really thought that her daughter cared about her, so she hurriedly comforted the child. "Besides, the fields are all harvested now, and there is nothing to do. I am at home, so why do you do it?"

A six-year-old child said that he wanted to cook at home. It is not uncommon in the village, but it is only people who can't live in the family that can ban their children like that. No one in a good family does this.

"I just like to cook, and I also like to eat the meals I cook. Mother, let me cook for a few days to see if it's okay. If I can't do it well, you can go to the head office." Yuansi is determined to share the family work.

The old lady didn't seem to be joking, so she asked uncertainly: "You really want to cook, can you do it?"

"Why not, didn't I just make the pot of pimple soup by myself last night? How did you eat it? Is it delicious?" Yuansi still has great confidence in herself. She has been single for more than 30 years in her previous life, and of course she is an expert at cooking. up.

"Cut it, put that old, oily, and old meat, it's delicious if a fool cooks it." The old lady said disapprovingly.

Yuan Simo is silent, there is no way to talk today, why is she such a fool.

No matter what, Yuansi temporarily took over the kitchen at home.

After breakfast, the old lady wanted to wash the dishes, but Yuansi snatched it.She lit the fire, sat in the crock pot with hot water, and then cleaned the dishes and chopsticks with lukewarm water.

The old lady curled her lips, muttered "something wrong" and left.

Yuansi acted as if she hadn't heard it, so let's make a mistake, it's better than cooking everything in the paste.

After cleaning the earthen pot, she poured water into it and boiled it. She cut more than ten catties of bear meat into palm-sized pieces, blanched them in the boiling water, and scooped them up for later use.

Of course the water in the crock had to be changed again.

The old lady was pinching her braids at the door. Seeing that her daughter was already consuming two pots of water, she still couldn't help asking: "What are you doing? Pour this water out when it boils. Pour it out when it boils. It's not a waste of waste. , and the meat, I think you picked it up not long after you went down, can it be cooked, don't give up so much meat."

"Of course it's not cooked. I just used hot water to blanch the blood in the meat. This pot is used for cooking the meat." Yuansi added seasonings to the crock pot while talking.

Peppercorns and aniseed ingredients are a must. For the salt, she directly puts large grains of salt, but it is not the kind with a lot of impurities bought here. She brought it back from Su.For the coloring, she also poured a lot of soy sauce down, and finally picked up the white sugar and scooped it into the earthen jar spoon by spoon.

"Hey, what are you doing, girl? That's white sugar, not salt." The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, she rushed to the kitchen and snatched the white sugar that the girl wanted to scoop.

Yuansi held the spoon and watched the old lady hide the sugar behind her back, "Mom, I know it's sugar, and the stewed meat needs to be put in sugar, and the more it tastes, the better it tastes."

The old lady doesn't care about that, and she doesn't think that the girl can cook everything if she really goes out, "I don't need to be so fresh, I can eat it even if it is boiled in plain water."

Well, this doesn't make sense anymore. If the old lady is unreasonable, there is really nothing anyone can do.

"All right, no sugar, that's all." Yuansi surrendered, and seeing that the ingredients were almost added, she put the blanched pieces of meat into the crock.

However, the earthen pot is a bit small, ten catties of meat is not old or young, and the stewed broth is already overflowing after only half of it is filled.No way, can only be divided into two brine.

At this time, Yuansi deeply realized that it is really inconvenient not to have a handle at hand.In the near future, we must find a way to get a few big pots back.
