Chapter 30 Wild Vegetable Corn Noodle Porridge
My family has never made lard before, so Li Dongsheng and Li Dongmei were very curious about this bowl of lard.Li Haitang looked at the two of them, if it wasn't for the hot lard, the two little guys would have been eager to taste it after smelling it.

After the lard has been trained on this iron pan, it is shiny and oily, so it can't be wasted.Li Dongmei was on fire again, and Li Haitang threw a large handful of washed wild vegetables into the pot to stain the oil on the pot, and threw those white meat residues in, added water and started to boil.After doing this, she went to the cellar to get some yams, quickly peeled and sliced ​​them into thin slices and threw them in.Then a bamboo curtain was placed and a small pot of chestnuts was steamed.Then replaced Li Dongmei's position, and started to burn himself.

Li Dongmei squatted next to Li Haitang, looking forward to what she was about to eat tonight. She didn't know what the eldest sister was cooking, but it looked delicious.And the eldest sister said that the chestnuts taste better when they are steamed!She admired her eldest sister more and more. Since her eldest sister woke up, they haven't been hungry.

Bursts of water vapor seeped out from the edge of the wooden pot lid, and the small kitchen was very warmed by the water vapor.Li Haitang's heart was warm and harmonious. Take your time, and your family's life will get better little by little.

After a long time, it seemed that the chestnuts were ripe. Li Haitang lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the wild vegetables and yam slices in the pot with a spoon. The yams were almost cooked and the wild vegetables had some fibers left. Li Haitang I took a small amount of corn noodles from the grain that Mrs. Li Zhao gave today, mixed it with water, poured it into the pot, and boiled it slowly.

The porridge Li Haitang makes is simple, but it is the corn noodle porridge she used to drink in her previous life. Usually, after the water is boiled, pour in the reconciled corn noodle paste with alkali noodles and stir it to boil.But this is ancient times, there is no alkaline noodles, and the corn noodles are used to make big pancakes with wild vegetables, who is willing to cook porridge?Fortunately, yam was added to it before. This thing contains a lot of starch, which can make the porridge thicker.

After boiling it, Li Haitang put another pinch of salt in it, and the tangy aroma made her, who has eaten all kinds of food, look forward to it.

"Sister, what is this?" Li Dongsheng smelled the aroma and entered the kitchen.

"Hmm." Li Haitang tilted his head and thought for a while, "This is called porridge with wild vegetables and corn noodles. No, there are yams in it... What should I call it?"

Li Haitang was a little bit conflicted. No one had done the thing I made today, but I thought about it myself with limited materials. The most troublesome thing was the name.

"Well, it's wild vegetable and corn porridge." Li Haitang nodded and confirmed.

Li Dongsheng didn't struggle. For him, if this food could fill his stomach and taste delicious, then it would be the best.

Take out the cooked porridge, put it aside to cool, clean the pot, turn on the fire, Li Haitang put the steamed chestnuts into the pot and stir fry, suddenly there was a crackling sound, a bit like the sound of firecrackers .The two little guys hid behind Li Haitang in fright, and kept asking what was going on.

Li Haitang patiently told them that it was nothing, the chestnut shell was sealed, and it would explode when it was too hot, that's why there was such a sound.The chestnuts can be eaten after they are steamed, but it is very troublesome to peel them. Put them in the pot and fry them for a while, and the peeling will be easy.

After hearing Li Haitang's words, the two little guys were no longer afraid. They stared curiously at the stir-fried chestnuts in the pot, wondering what the ripe chestnuts would taste like.

After everything was done, the three of them gathered around the pot and were ready to eat.

There was a yelling sound from outside the yard, but it was the youngest of the Li family who came.

Li Haitang's heart skipped a beat, this thing has just been made, and now there is no place to hide it, what should I do?
"Haitang, Dongsheng, Dongmei, third uncle is here, why don't you come out quickly?" Li Yushan yelled.

Li Haitang led the two little ones out of the kitchen slowly, frowned and asked, "Uncle San, I've finished all the chores at home, I don't know why Uncle San came here?"

Li Yushan was displeased when he heard this, "This is my second brother's house, so I don't want to come?"

"What's so fragrant?" Li Yushan sniffed, and a rich aroma came from the kitchen. Could it be meat?Li Yushan's heart moved, he pushed aside the three siblings and walked into the kitchen.Li Yushan is tall and powerful, and the three of them couldn't stop them even if they wanted to, so they could only watch Li Laosan enter the kitchen. Fortunately, after the lard was refined just now, for the convenience of storage, Li Dongmei asked Li Dongmei to put a bowl of lard Poured it all into a small jar, sealed it, and put it in the cellar, otherwise...

Li Yushan stared at the pot of porridge and a pile of brown chestnuts on the pot table, he was a little puzzled, he clearly smelled the meat!
"Third Uncle, I just cooked a pot of porridge. If Third Uncle is hungry, please sit down and eat with us." Li Haitang could only say hello.

Li Yushan asked suspiciously: "Where does the smell of meat come from?"

"Oh, when I went to Gu's house to deliver clothes today, I brought a basket of wild vegetables to Aunt Gu's family, and then she insisted on giving me some meat leftovers from her family's lard refining, and I boiled them in the porridge , the smell of meat that third uncle smells is probably this." Li Haitang said slowly.

Li Yushan lowered his head and smelled it, and sure enough there was a burst of meaty aroma in the porridge, which made people's index fingers twitch.Li Yushan sat down loudly, "Haitang, you cooked this delicious porridge, then third uncle will not be polite, let's have a bowl with just yours."

Reluctantly, Li Dongmei took the bowl over. Seeing that the elder sister filled a big bowl for the third uncle, and then filled three other bowls respectively, she had no choice but to drink the porridge in silence.

Is this really porridge?Li Yushan thought to himself, he has never tasted such delicious porridge in such a big age!One bowl, one bowl, another bowl... Before the third sister and brother finished the porridge in their hands, Li Yushan had already drank up the porridge in the basin, and he still couldn't get enough of it: "Haitang, is there any porridge?"

"Third Uncle, you saw it too. When you came, the porridge had just been served, so there was only so much of it. Third Uncle finished it all. Where else can there be?" Li Haitang's face was calm, but his heart was already boiling. Ma, do you drink porridge like this?Is this porridge very hot? !How is your mouth so long? !A dead pig is not afraid of being scalded!
Li Yushan had a face full of embarrassment, he came here today to steal the food from his nephew and niece, if it gets out, it won't sound good!Can't help but say a little embarrassingly: "If it's gone, it'll be gone. Haitang, your porridge is so delicious, Third Uncle couldn't help it, so he drank more, you don't blame Third Uncle!"

Li Haitang suppressed the disgust in his heart, and smiled: "No, third uncle is hungry, even if my niece doesn't eat herself, she has to feed third uncle."

Li Yushan nodded in satisfaction, not feeling the teasing in Li Haitang's words at all.

Seeing Li Yushan's expression, Li Haitang felt like he was about to vomit blood. He originally thought that Li Zhao's and Li's were even more excellent, but unexpectedly, this third uncle who hadn't married was even more excellent.

"Third Uncle, are you here today for something?" Seeing that Li Yushan was still sitting still, Li Haitang had no choice but to ask.

Only then did Li Yushan remember the purpose of his visit, and looked at his niece up and down. Although she was a little thinner, she looked upright. She was very imaginative of her dead second sister-in-law. , um, very good.
