Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 59 Preserved Eggs
"A simple meal at noon today. Fanyang brought back a hare and a pheasant. Let's have a good meal tonight."

"Eldest sister, there are no simple dishes you cook. You cooked five dishes at noon today. Although there is no meat, the dishes made by elder sister are old-fashioned and delicious." Xie Fanwen, the little sycophant, boasted.

"Let's eat!" Xie's siblings saw that the elder sister had eaten food, so they started to eat food.

"It's the first time for me to eat fried peppers with eggs like this. It's fragrant and delicious, and it's also a special meal." Xie Fanwen was the first time to eat fried peppers with poached eggs. He unceremoniously added half an egg. Soft and delicious, spicy and fragrant, the spicy taste exploded directly in the mouth, stimulating the secretion of saliva, so delicious that Fan Wen squinted his eyes.

"I think that dish is delicious." Xie Fanchen used to eat a lot of vegetarian dishes before, and she didn't expect that the elder sister of the original body could make such delicious vegetarian dishes.

The stir-fried vegetables not only keep the original color, but also look very pleasing to the eye, and all kinds of delicacies explode in the mouth, making people wish to open their mouths to eat.

"After lunch, I will go to the backyard to help later. The elder sister has already kneaded the mud for making bricks, and we will put the mud into the brick box later. After we finish these, the elder sister said to cook for us in the evening Yes." Xie Fanyang said to the crowd after eating and drinking.

At this time, Xie Fanyang had the airs of being a big brother.

"As long as I have something to eat, I can do any job. What should we eat for dinner, big sister?" Xie Fanwen wiped his mouth and asked.

"Let's have barbecue tonight."

"Barbecue, big sister, shall we bring back big brother's pheasant and hare at night, and make it into roast chicken and rabbit?" Xie Fanchen felt a little tired when he heard that he didn't eat vegetables and only ate meat.

"Vegetables can also be roasted, and I will roast a piece of it for you to eat at night. Fanchen, when the sun gets lighter, go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables such as crock beans, eggplants, peppers, foreign peppers, water spinach, and goose beans." return."

"Okay, big sister, I remember everything, let's finish our meal, let's get to work!" Xie Fanchen thought about the dishes her big sister said in her heart, and she thought that if she finished her work soon, she would be able to do it earlier I ate her big sister's barbecue.

Suddenly, she couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay, let's go!" Fan Yang didn't procrastinate, and led everyone to the backyard.

He had made a few bricks out of a brick box before, and he had some experience, so he taught his second sister and sister Fanyu how to make them.

Xie Fanxing saw that Fanwen, Fanri, and Fanchen also went to make do together, she pulled the three of them and said: "To make bricks, you have to throw yellow soil into it, the harder you throw, the harder the bricks you make will be.

You three little ones don't have such great strength, so you can't do this job. Eldest sister, I have some work for you to do. "

While Xie Fanxing was talking, she held a wooden stick in her hand and drew a U on the ground.

She plans to build a U-shaped brick kiln first, just make it one meter wide and one meter high.

There is a layer in the middle of the brick kiln. One layer is used to put firewood and burn bricks, and the other layer is used to put bricks and burn bricks.It's just that a few holes have to be drilled in the separated Nasu. When the firewood is put on the fire, the fire will slowly burn into the bricks through these holes.

"Sister, why are you painting this thing?" Xie Fanwen asked puzzled.

However, Xie Fanchen who was at the side asked thoughtfully, "Sister, do you want us to build a brick kiln when you draw this?"

"Yes! My Fanchen is smart. You know it before the eldest sister tells you. You two, Fanri and Fanwen, have played with mud since you were young. Now it's time to show off your skills. You follow the drawing of the eldest sister and use mud. surround me.

In the middle of the meeting, bamboo slices have to be separated horizontally, and then a layer of mud is laid on it, and some holes are drilled at intervals.However, after the middle layer needs to be grilled later, you will divide it horizontally.

When you finish building this, my eldest sister will use this brick kiln to cook barbecue for you. "Xie Fanxing felt that their Fanchen family was very smart. Of course, she thought that a person who studied medicine and became a doctor could be stupid? Otherwise, he would not be able to become a doctor.

"Okay! Sister, you leave this to me. I have dealt with mud a lot since I was a child. When I was young, I used to play mud with my brother Fan Ri's bare buttocks, and even hit a mud cannon." Xie Fanwen patted Patted his small chest.

"You, you're right!" Xie Fanri heard that he and Fanwen were playing in the mud with bare buttocks, and just wanted to refute, but in his memory, it wasn't like this, and he couldn't even refute.

His face seemed constipated, and he had to hold back even if he refused to accept it.

"Sister, then I went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, shall we prepare something for today's barbecue?" Xie Fanchen said and was about to go outside.

"Fanchen, wait a moment, we'll prepare the barbecue later, and now we have to deal with the eggs in the house, marinate them into preserved eggs, otherwise, the weather will spoil the house. "Xie Fanxing pulled Fanchen and said.

"Then I'll go and move the eggs out of our warehouse first."

"Hmm! Let's go!" Xie Fanxing came to the kitchen and started to boil water.

After the water was boiled, she put the tea leaves to boil, boiled it into dark brown tea juice, and strained the tea leaves for later use. Before that, she used another stove to boil water, boiled a lot of plant ash, and extracted the alkali. Pour into a tank, then mix and pour in the tea juice and salt and stir evenly again. After these tasks are done, put the eggs into it and press it under the liquid surface, cover and seal it, and place it in a refrigerator at 20°C. After marinating for about half a month in the environment, take it out and peel it for inspection.

Of course, the preserved eggs made by Xie Fanxing at this time are made by the caustic soda method, and there are also soda lime methods, which need to be made by wrapping them in mud. Xie Fanxing felt that it was too laborious, so he chose an easier method.

After making the preserved eggs, Xie Fanchen went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

When he came back from picking the vegetables, Xie Fanxing started to process the vegetables, folding those that should be sectioned into sections, and those that should be trimmed.

After finishing the dishes, Xie Fanxing took Fanchen to cut a lot of bamboo sticks, skewered the dishes and put them aside for later use.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Fanxing started to grind the spices again, and she talked to Fanchen while grinding the spices: "Fanchen, what did you all do this morning?"

"I went to the foot of the mountain in the morning to pick some honeysuckle and came back to dry. If Fanri, read the book he brought back from Uncle Cao in his room.

The eldest sister took sister Fanyu to embroider, and the eldest brother took Fanwen to go hunting in the mountains.So we didn't come to help the eldest sister and mud this morning. "Xie Fanchen said while grinding powder for her elder sister.

She knew that this family couldn't hide things at all. If her elder sister wanted to ask, she just told her elder sister honestly.

Anyway, her eldest sister wants to know, she will be clear if she asks casually or looks at it.

Besides, the brothers and sisters in their family are very interesting. I don't know if they came here to make ends meet, or it was God's will to let them get together.
