The general is happy: the fierce wife of the peasant family is ruthless and stunning

Chapter 56 Completion of Erjin's Yard

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Lidong.

The new house of Li Chenggu's family has also been built. The two courtyards are brand new and bright, facing south. The winter sun just shines on the newly built bluestone courtyard, making the whole courtyard spacious and comfortable.

Qin Ya prepared a banquet to celebrate her family moved into a new home.

There was nothing to invite, and there were not many people around Li Chenggu, so Qin Ya called Tan Lanfang and Li San over to have a meal together, as if she had just moved into a new home.

Tan Lanfang came over early and was busy in the kitchen with Qin Ya.

"What kind of dishes does Sister Sufen plan to make this time? Is there any secret recipe?"

Qin Ya smiled and said: "Haha, there is no secret recipe, but there are indeed new dishes for you to try."

Tan Lanfang was a little disappointed when she heard that there was no secret recipe, but now she is happy again when she hears about the new dish.

"What kind of dish, tell me quickly, I like to eat the dish you cook the most."

"You'll know when you eat later..."

Qin Ya made a fool of herself.

No matter how Tan Lanfang acted like a baby, he didn't tell her.

In fact, there are not many dishes, and there are not many people, just myself and Li Chenggu together with Li Xiner, Tan Lanfang, and Li San, that is, four adults and one child.

Li Tao was still lying on the kang, unable to eat at the table, Qin Ya had already cooked porridge for him and brought it to the kang to feed him.

Four and a half people, Qin Ya calculated, three dishes and one soup, more than enough.

The three dishes are stir-fried cabbage with bacon, crispy dried crucian carp, steamed egg custard, and a snail tofu soup.

The tofu was freshly ground by Qin Ya a few days ago for today's cooking. Although the snails are not easy to pick up outside, they are not expensive outside. What's more, Li Si gave her a few more baskets to reward her Come, naturally you don't have to worry about food.

Speaking of egg custard, there is another interesting story.

After several months of growth, the three chickens raised at home are finally able to lay eggs. It is not a problem to collect at least two or three chickens a day.

From the second day after placing the order, Qin Ya made one for Li Xin'er to eat every day.

At first, like the people in the village, they boiled eggs in plain water, but later, afraid that Li Xin'er would get tired of eating them, they changed to steamed egg custard.

Unexpectedly, when Li Xin'er saw egg custard for the first time, he didn't know what it was, and even Li Chenggu looked at Qin Ya in puzzlement.

Qin Ya explained: "It's made by putting eggs in water and steaming them through a bowl."

Both father and son still didn't believe it, so Qin Ya insisted on showing them how to do it.

Qin Ya had no choice but to do it for them again, and the father and son would believe it.

Li Chenggu was very surprised, "How do you know that eggs can be eaten this way? It's really unheard of, never seen before."

It was also at this time that Qin Ya realized that the reason why people in the village only ate boiled eggs every day was because they only knew this way of eating.

No one has ever used her method of steaming egg custard in water.

It was nothing more than Li Xin'er and Li Chenggu were shocked.

She had no choice but to prevaricate: "I was reading a book at Lan Meizi's place not long ago, and I read it from the book."

Li Chenggu heard from Li Xin'er that Qin Ya often went to study with Tan Lanfang next door, and he thought it was a good thing, so he didn't stop it. Hearing what Qin Ya said today, he also believed her words.

After Qin Ya avoids these two people, she wipes the cold sweat from her forehead, she thinks she can't be fooled.

But since no one has eaten it, it is not impolite for her to entertain guests.

Speaking of which, these three dishes are quick to make.

Qin Ya first boiled a pot of water, found a large bowl and beat all the ten eggs saved in the past few days, stirred them with chopsticks, and put them on the water to steam.

Then start to process the bacon. After passing through the water once, sharpen the knife, cut into thin slices about one finger wide, put it in the pot with the cabbage, fry until it is raw, and then take it out.

I changed the oil again, added dried chili and edible salt, and then poured it in again, fried the bacon and cabbage and put it on a plate, and the aroma immediately spread in all directions.

It is even easier to fry crucian carp. Marinate the crucian carp in advance, wait for the oil to boil, pour it in directly, and it will be fried in less than a quarter of an hour.

After dealing with these, I finally cooked a snail tofu soup. The color of the tofu was milky white.

Because Tan Lanfang has been helping her in the back kitchen, she has already seen the world.

Li San, on the other hand, was shocked when he saw these dishes for the first time: "Sister Qin, what kind of fairy craftsmanship are you doing? This is too delicious."

"Li San, you little three are getting more and more good at complimenting others. If you think it smells delicious, eat more. I cooked a lot of dishes today. There are only four of us, eat until we are full."

"Then I won't be polite, Sister Qin."

Speaking of which, everyone moved their chopsticks one after another.

Among them, Li San served the most. He ate a lot of dishes with two large bowls of white rice and a large bowl of tofu soup.

Although Tan Lanfang also wanted to eat, but the woman had a small appetite, she just moved a few chopsticks for each dish before she was full, and she didn't eat much rice, so she ate half a bowl of snail tofu soup and kept belching.

Li Chenggu and Li Xin'er are usually at home, and Qin Ya often cooks delicious food for them, so these two people have their mouths full of food, and they are not very keen on these three dishes. They each ate a bowl of rice and drank half of it. Just a bowl of soup.

This made Qin Ya worry about the half pot of rice left in the pot.

Fortunately, Li San was able to eat, so he scooped a bowl of rice for him. Several people chatted and laughed, talking about the interesting things they encountered recently.

"Guess how Zhang Yuanwai, who spent money to buy our secret recipe of snails, is doing now?"

Li San threw out an introduction.

Tan Lanfang couldn't help but replied: "It must be very rich, not less rich."

"How can it be."

Li San said: "He has a dark heart. If he buys our method, he will treat him as the only one. One or two snails are sold for [-] Wen. These snails are worthless at all. He still sells them so expensive. Others have seen them." Since he was jealous, the method of frying snails was figured out within a few days, and after more than a month, his business was deserted, and now he has to reduce it to ten pennies and one tael, and it is not easy to sell."

Qin Ya also smiled heartily when she heard the words, "This thing is just for everyone to try something new, and it can't be eaten as a meal. Naturally, it won't work after a long time of business."

"Sister Sufen, you have an idea. You didn't plan to do it long at the beginning."

Tan Lanfang praised.

"By the way, Li San, do you still keep the crucian carp I asked you to raise?"

Qin Ya asked.

"It's been raised, plus the ones that were salvaged recently, it's a total of two hundred catties."

Although Li San didn't know what Qin Ya wanted these crucian carp to do, he believed in Qin Ya. She said she let him keep them, and he kept them.

"That's good, I have such a plan, you listen to me..."
