Chapter 106 The Great Lunch

While the potatoes were cooking, Yang Ruoqing slaughtered the quail couple again.

After shedding their hair, they disemboweled them, washed their internal organs, then chopped the quail into pieces and carried them back to the kitchen.

At this time, the water in the pot boiled, bubbling cheerfully.

Yang Ruoqing took out two boiled potatoes and put them in a bowl aside to dry first, then poured the quail pieces into the hot water that was still boiling in the pot.

Use a bamboo fence to remove the layer of foam on the top, and then remove the quail pieces.

Fifteen quail eggs were also boiled in the shells.

Wait until the quail pieces and quail viscera are blanched until they are half-ripe and taken out of the pot, and the quail eggs are also cooked.

Take them out together and put them in another earthenware bowl to dry. Peel off the shell of the quail eggs for later use.

Next, Yang Ruoqing washed the cabbage, spinach and lettuce, and when everything was ready, she was going to cook lunch.

Just as he was about to go to the next room to ask Da'an to come over and stuff the firewood, it happened that Da'an came in by himself.

"Sister, let me stuff the firewood for you!" Da'an said.

"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing replied.

She picked up the cold potatoes, and using something like a rolling pin, she mashed the potatoes and mashed them into mashed potatoes.

"Sister, what kind of food are you cooking?" Da'an stood aside and asked curiously.

In Da’an’s previous cognition, there are two ways to eat potatoes. They are stewed with meat, or they are stir-fried with some dried spicy peppers.

While pounding, Yang Ruoqing said without raising her head, "I'll make potato pancakes for you at noon!"

"What? Potatoes can also be made into pancakes?" Da'an was also curious.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Not only potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, but also can be used! These ingredients are ever-changing, one thing, a variety of ways to eat, it depends on whether you can figure it out."

Da'an nodded, and stood aside to watch seriously.

The mashed potatoes were almost mashed, Yang Ruoqing turned around and went to the bag of wheat flour, scooped out an appropriate amount of wheat flour, and mixed it with the mashed potatoes according to a certain ratio.

Put some salt star seeds and an appropriate amount of water in it, and mix it with chopsticks while mixing the water.

Next, knead.

When the dough was kneaded until it was fluffy and soft, but not sticky to hands, Yang Ruoqing gave an order, and Da'an immediately ignited the fire in the stove.

Heat up the pot, dip some rapeseed oil with loofah naan, and wipe it evenly in the pot.

Yang Ruoqing started making potato cakes.

Kneading potato cakes is super simple, just like playing with mud at Xiaoan's house, kneading them into rounds, then flattening them, and finally sticking them into the pot.

Yang Ruoqing counted in her heart while posting them, and she finished posting them all, including a total of fifteen palm-sized potato pancakes.

There were seven people eating at noon, counting Uncle Chang Geng, and if everyone ate two, there would still be one left!

After all the potato cakes were pasted, Yang Ruoqing added a little water to the pot, then covered the pot and stewed.

Cut the washed scallions into verdant scum, and when the pot is uncovered and the potato cakes are turned over, sprinkle the scallions evenly, cover the pot and turn to low heat to simmer for a while.

When Sun and Chang Geng carried the plow tools and led the old cow into the yard, they could smell the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

"Why is it so fragrant?" Chang Geng asked with a smile.

Sun said: "It looks like potatoes! Chang Geng, you wash your hands and go into the house to drink tea. You are exhausted from the whole day, and plowed the field all at once!"

"Nothing, nothing."

With the water from the well in the yard, Chang Geng washed his hands and went to Yang Huazhong's house.

Mrs. Sun turned around and went into the kitchen, "Qing'er, your potatoes are so delicious!"

"Mother, come and take a look, the potato pancakes made by my sister are really good-looking, golden and golden!" Da'an held up the freshly baked potato pancakes on the cooking table to show to Mrs. Sun as if offering a treasure.

Sun's eyes lit up when he glanced over.

"Ah, it's really pretty. Just looking at the appearance and smelling the fragrance, it's delicious!" said Sun.

"Mom, why don't you try it first?" Yang Ruoqing said.

"That's not going to work, we'll eat it after the table!" Sun said, and began to put on an apron, ready to help Yang Ruoqing.

"Da'an, you go, mother is here to stuff the firewood."

"Yeah!" Da'an got up and gave up his seat, and he didn't leave, standing by the pot and watching his sister cook.

Yang Ruoqing took the time to go to the next room, greeted Chang Geng, poured a bowl of tea, and abducted Xiao An by the way when she returned to the kitchen.

Take one of the biggest hash browns and break it in half down the middle.

From the place where it was opened, a fragrant smell came out and it became hot, making Xiaoan's saliva almost drooling.

"Sister, what is this?" Xiao An asked.

"The potato cakes made by my sister, Xiaoan and Da'an are here to help my sister taste it!"

Yang Ruoqing giggled, and divided the two halves of the potato pancakes with the two younger brothers.

"Is it delicious?" she asked.

Da Ansi took a bite gently, then nodded: "It's delicious."

Xiao An gave Yang Ruoqing the answer by devouring it.

"Okay, let's go outside and play, the smell of smoke in the kitchen is heavy, but we can't run too far, I will call you after dinner!"

Yang Ruoqing patted Xiao An's head, and sent the two of them out of the kitchen, then stood up and started cooking the next dish.

Mrs. Sun was sitting at the door of the stove with a fire stick in her arms, watching Yang Ruoqing do all this with a smile, the woman's eyes were full of relief.

Eldest sister, elder sister, my eldest sister, Qing'er, really has no choice!

With Qing'er here, if she was gone that day, brothers Da'an and Xiao'an wouldn't suffer.

Sun thought to herself, realizing what she was thinking, she poohed in her heart several times.

How could I not be here?I have to live well, accompany my children, and watch them grow up safely!

"Qing'er, your Uncle Chang Geng is helping our family plow the fields today. Mother asked you to go to the butcher Chen's house in the village to cut some pork this morning. Have you gone?" Sun asked instead.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "The butcher Chen sent some of the better pork to the town's tile market to sell at a stall, and the meat his mother-in-law sold in the meat shed at the entrance of the village was all pork belly that couldn't be sold in the town. There was still a shortage of catties and taels , I don’t want to go to their meat shed to waste that copper money!”

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she became a little anxious, "Then we don't have any meat and vegetables at noon, how can we entertain you, Uncle Chang Geng?"

"Mom, don't worry, what do you think this is?"

Yang Ruoqing opened an upside-down bowl next to her, and handed the quail pieces in the bottom bowl to Mrs. Sun.

"Huh? Quail? And quail eggs?" Sun's face was full of surprise.

"Qing'er, where did this thing come from? It's much better than pork!"

"Hey, I caught it in the woods behind the village."

While Yang Ruoqing was talking, she didn't delay the work in her hands at all. She chopped garlic and shredded ginger, and chopped shallots into sections.

"Mom, let's start work!" She ordered.

"Okay!" Mrs. Sun sat back, stuffed a handful of firewood into the small stove, and stoked the fire.
