Chapter 78

After the snow melted, the Chen family went to the town together. There were more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. They were not in a hurry to buy new year's goods. They came this time mainly to buy seasonings and ingredients.

For modern cooking, all kinds of oil and monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, cooking wine, star anise, pepper, chili, soy sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger, garlic, etc. are indispensable. Others such as longan, wolfberry, cardamom, and cloves are also often used.

The condiments of the Sui Dynasty were quite rich. In the grain and oil store in the town, Chen Guaibao saw sesame oil, lard, soy sauce, vinegar, Chinese prickly ash and star anise and other condiments.

These things are all there, and they are quite complete. Chen Guabao breathed a sigh of relief. Her family's restaurant cooks, in addition to these, there are ginger, onion, ginger and garlic, which are indispensable condiments.

Chen Yang bought some of these seasonings one by one, no matter how high or low he was.From Chen Yangshi and Chen Sanniu's point of view, spending money on food is definitely not a loss, and you can't lose money no matter what you eat.

After buying the seasoning, it's time to buy ingredients. There are very few vegetables in winter. Every household grows radishes and cabbages. There are not many ingredients sold in the town. Apart from radishes and cabbages, there are only some dried vegetables and pickles.

Dried vegetables such as dried beans, dried eggplant, dried plum vegetables; pickled vegetables such as mustard lumps.Plus some sauerkraut.

Seeing dried plums, Chen Guaibao's eyes lit up. Dried plums are a traditional Hakka specialty. Shanhe Village is located in the north or the Central Plains. When he saw dried plums in Qingniu Town, Chen Guaibao was very surprised. happy.

Pork with preserved vegetables, what a classic dish, the meat sticks taste soft and rotten, fat but not greasy, holding a piece of meat with snow-white steamed buns, it is Chen Guaibao's favorite.

When it comes to eating meat, in Chen Guaibao's opinion, only eating dishes like pickled vegetables and meat can be considered a real meat-eating. If you eat meat in large mouthfuls and drink in large mouthfuls, this kind of life can be called bold!

Chen Guaibao urged Chen Yang to buy all the dried plums and vegetables from the grain and oil shop. The dried plums and vegetables were not expensive at five cents a catty. Twenty Wen.

The other one catty was given by the store manager. When he went to the county town to buy goods in autumn, someone sold him pickled vegetables and meat, saying that the dried preserved vegetables were so good. Ah, it tastes good when you put it on.

The shopkeeper finally bought ten catties, but he couldn't sell it in the store.So he took it home and made soup by himself. After drinking it for a few months, he drank five catties and left five catties. When he saw that Chen Guaibao wanted to buy it today, the shopkeeper simply sold it to Chen Guaibao.

Chen Guaibao put away the dried plum vegetables, and happily left the grain and oil store with his family.Before she left, she told the shopkeeper that if she saw someone selling this next time, she must buy it, no matter how much she had.

The matter of dried plums is over, and I'm going to buy some tofu next.

There are no seasonal fresh vegetables, so apart from buying dried vegetables, sauerkraut and pickles, the rest can only buy tofu.In the backward ancient times, even if you have money, you can't buy what you want to eat, Chen Guabao sighed silently.

After returning home, Chen Yang put away the things he bought today. The winter was short, and when the family returned from the town, it was dark.

Chen Yangshi washes his hands and cooks.It's been a long time since Chen Guaibao has eaten the delicious and fat meat with preserved vegetables. She ran back to the house and pulled the recipe to find out the pork with preserved vegetables. She called for this dish.

When Chen Guaibao opened his mouth, Chen Yang would never refuse. She asked Yang Silang to read the recipe to her, and then she did it herself.

Chen Yangshi made this dish for the first time, she made it carefully and strictly followed the instructions in the recipe.Soak the dried plum vegetables in clear water first, take them out when they are almost soaked, and cut them into sections for later use.

Then came the pork belly.Today, Chen Yang bought three catties of pork belly in the town. It was the first time to make braised pork with preserved vegetables. Chen Yang first used one catty to practice.Scrape and wash the pork belly, then boil it with water and remove it.Apply a layer of soy sauce to the pork skin. There is no dark soy sauce here, so ordinary soy sauce can only be used.

The next step is frying. Put the meat into the pan with the skin facing down, fry until the whole meat is golden and take it out.After the meat is cooled, cut into even slices, put them neatly together in a bowl, with the skin facing down and the meat facing up, and put the dried plum vegetables on the meat.The plum vegetables are mixed with seasoning before they are dried, and it is just right to put them directly on the meat.

After all this last night, just put the bowl in the pot and steam it.

Steamed over high heat for two hours, the pork with pickled vegetables can be cooked out of the pot, take out the bowl and pour it on a plate, this is the veritable preserved pork with preserved vegetables.

It was already very late when the pickled vegetables and meat were ready, and the Chen family was already hungry.The cooked pickled pork has an aroma that seduces the gluttons in people's stomachs. Smelling this enticing aroma, the Chen family suddenly felt even hungrier.

Chen Yangshi broke the plate into the house, Chen Guaibao was holding a small bamboo basket with steamed buns and chopsticks in it, Yang Silang followed behind Chen Guaibao, holding a plate of homemade tofu in his hand, which Chen Yangshi was making It is made in the gap between pickled vegetables and meat.

Chen Guaibao has been coveting pickled meat with pickled vegetables for a long time, she has always been the treasure of the Chen family, so she tasted this meat first.

To be honest, it was the first time that Chen Yang’s made braised pork with pickled vegetables was really good. The meat was crispy, soft and fragrant, fat but not greasy, and the preserved vegetables were also fragrant, soft and refreshing. In this time and space, Chen Guaibao is already very grateful to be able to eat such fried pork with preserved vegetables.

"Delicious, delicious." Chen Guaibao's small mouth was stuffed with steamed buns, and she couldn't speak clearly, so she kept nodding her head.

Seeing that Chen Guaibao said it was delicious, Chen Yang showed a gratified smile on his face, "It's delicious, eat more." Chen Yang said with a smile.

At this time, the rest of the people also stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the meat slices, so Chen Yang heard a lot of praises, the first time he did a good job, Chen Guaibao felt that the small restaurant was closer to her, and getting rich was farther away from her closer.

The Chen family was very satisfied with this meal. The preserved vegetables and braised pork were eaten clean, and there was no soup left, and the homemade tofu was also eaten up. Recognized, she has more confidence in her cooking skills.

This time, a catty of meat was used to make pork belly with plum vegetables. For everyone in the Chen family who can eat meat, this amount is obviously not enough. Mrs. Chen Yang decided that the remaining two catties of pork belly will be made into pork belly with pork belly tomorrow at noon. Meat.

In the next few days, the appetite of the Chen family was greatly satisfied. Chen Yang followed the recipe and cooked and ate in different ways.

After eating the pickled pork with pickled vegetables, Chen Yang set his sights on the tofu.

Tofu is a good thing. It is inexpensive and nutritious, and it can be made in a variety of ways.There are several kinds of tofu methods recorded in the recipe: mapo tofu, braised tofu, homemade tofu, crucian carp tofu soup, emerald tofu soup and so on.

Chen Yang made mapo tofu first, and then made fish head tofu soup and crucian carp tofu soup.

Shanhe Village has never been short of fish. When winter came, Chen Sanniu caught a few big fish, cleaned them up and hung them under the eaves to dry. Chen Yang took two from the eaves to make soup.

It feels really good to drink a bowl of hot crucian carp tofu soup on a cold winter day.The Chen family sat in front of the fire with bowls in their hands and drank to their hearts content.

I tried all the tofu tricks, and the next one is radish and cabbage.

Speaking of radishes, the first thing Chen Guaibao thinks of is Korean pickled radishes. Radishes are usually a side dish and rarely appear as a main dish. The Chen family eats radishes either cold or fried, which is nothing new.

There is only one radish pork ribs in the recipe, and Chen Yang mastered the technique after making it twice.

Cabbage is better than radish. Hot and sour cabbage is a famous and home-cooked dish. Chen Guaibao loves to eat cabbage. She loves to cook cabbage in a red oily soup pot when eating hot pot.

In a word, Chen Yang's cooked all the ingredients available at home, and by the time of the Chinese New Year, Chen Yang's cooking skills had improved significantly.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Silang embarked on the journey back to Liu's house.

Living in Chen's house for half a month, he ate well and slept soundly, and his little face was more fleshy than before. Before parting, he took Chen Guaibao's little hand reluctantly, and repeatedly told Chen Guaibao to think about it. he.

When he came back, it was three months later, and after three months, the longing really penetrated into the bone marrow!
Chen Guaibao had no reaction to Yang Silang's numbness, Yang Silang had been nagging her to be his wife before, and once Chen Guaibao was annoyed by the nagging, she yelled at Yang Silang loudly.

The first time he was yelled at by Chen Guaibao, Yang Silang was shocked. He never thought that the gentle and virtuous sister Guaibao who always smiled and treated others would roar from the east of the river, and she still roared at him. Yang Silang's little glass heart broke into pieces. It's slag.

Yang Silang was stunned by Chen Guaibao's yelling, and he stood there without moving. He looked at Chen Guaibao cautiously with shock on his face, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

Well, seeing Yang Silang like this, Chen Guaibao's heart softened. Yang Silang just said what he said, she just listened to it, and she won't lose a piece of meat if she listens to love words too much. Yang Silang is still a child, she Shouldn't have yelled at him.

Chen Guaibao walked over and took the initiative to hold Yang Silang's little hand. Chen Guaibao's overture made Yang Silang's eyes fade away, and only Chen Guaibao was left in his eyes.

Chen Guabao complained silently: You idiot.

But it would be a good thing if this fool was only foolish to her all his life.

Chen Guaibao yelled at Yang Silang just once, and from then on, no matter how tiresome Yang Silang said, Chen Guaibao responded calmly, and Zhengtai's glassy heart couldn't afford to be hurt.

Now it's time to part again, Yang Silang drags Chen Guaibao reluctantly as usual.From Yang Silang's point of view, his Guaibao's younger sister is full of enigmas, and his Guaibao's younger sister is covered with a veil that he can't see enough.

He had already fallen in love with Chen Guaibao at first sight, but now Chen Guaibao is full of mysteries, things he doesn't know, Yang Silang is a little panicked, he is afraid that Chen Guaibao will leave him one day, he is afraid Chen Guaibao would suddenly disappear one day, and he had no choice but to whisper sweet words into Chen Guaibao's ear over and over again.

 On the strong push list, this week's double update~~~~ I hope my relatives will support me~
