I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 71

When Jiang Zhi came back, Ye Xiaomei had already prepared breakfast.After breakfast, Jiang Zhi cut up the pheasant non-stop, fried it with sliced ​​ginger and lard, threw it into a casserole and stewed it.

"Sister-in-law, I see there are rabbits and pheasants. Let's kill a home-grown chicken. How many dishes should we prepare?" These dishes are more abundant than Chinese New Year. In previous years, they had at most two chickens and a few pieces of bacon for Chinese New Year.

It is also because the life at home is getting better. If you put these things in the past, you may not be able to see them during the New Year.

"Let Erlang roast the rabbit later, let's tear it up with our hands, fry a piece of diced chicken, stir-fry a piece of green vegetables, and your wild vegetable dumpling, the oily fruit in the cabinet, fry a stack of cakes, and let's steam a big pot of rice .”

"Okay, the wild vegetable dumpling will taste better after being steamed first and then fried."

Just before dawn, the smoke from the kitchens in the village is rising, and there are occasional dogs barking and cocks crowing.

Ye Xiaomei was chopping vegetables quickly on the chopping board with a kitchen knife. Jiang Zhi looked up at the eastern sky. The weather didn't seem too good. It had been gloomy since yesterday, and it was extremely hot, as if it was going to rain.

It would be better not to rain during the day, so as not to stain the shoes and socks.

Jiang Zhi immersed herself in cleaning all kinds of ingredients.

Send out another pot of noodles, ready to steam a drawer of steamed buns.

The sky was completely bright, the tranquility of the early morning was broken, and there were figures of people on the country road one after another.

"Big sister, I brought you a table and a bench." Daniu was carrying a table, followed by Ermao, who was carrying a load with bowls and chopsticks inside.

Yesterday, I learned that Jiang Zhi was going to have a banquet and came to borrow bowls. Today, I washed the bowls and sent them over after eating. The second room is not like the big room.

After Erfang brought the bowls and chopsticks, the Zhou family also sent two tables and two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

With the addition of the two at home, there are just five tables and matching benches.

Jiang Zhi finished tearing up the rabbit and cooked the diced chicken.Mrs. Zhou brought her daughter-in-law to ask if she needed help, and Jiang Zhi wasn't too polite. Rural banquets like this were all spontaneously organized by the neighbors.

Besides Zhou Shi and her daughter-in-law, Qiu Shi came over to help Jiang Zhi cook.

Ye Erlang greeted guests outside. At this time, everyone was still busy with their own affairs, only a few people came to chat.

Several children from each family gathered together and took Ye Heng to play in the bamboo forest.

Jiang Zhi had boiled the tea in advance, and Ye Erlang made cups out of bamboo tubes after school, so that he would not use the bowls he used for meals, resulting in a shortage of dishes.

In the middle of the morning, the Jiang family arrived in a carriage.

"Little sister, look who is here?" Jiang Yu jumped off the horse, threw away the rope and rushed to Jiang Zhi who was adding tea.

"Who's here? Isn't it you, big brother?" Jiang Zhi didn't squint, and didn't notice Jiang Yu's blinking eyes.

With a hurt face, Jiang Yu covered his chest and said, "Oh, I thought you forgot about big brother."

Jiang Zhi put down the pot and looked at Jiang Yu: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but my elder brother is still handsome."

"Ha, I love to hear my little sister's words." Jiang Yu's face seemed to bloom.

"Okay, don't play tricks here, why don't you move things?" An Shi stepped in and interrupted Jiang Yu's performance angrily.

"Little sister, I brought two catties of pork belly, what can I do?" An asked the maid to deliver the pork to the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law go play as soon as possible, I'll just come over to the kitchen, let the elder brother take you around." It's not that Jiang Zhi doesn't want An's to cook, but the kitchen is too small to accommodate so many people.

An Shi said: "Okay, I will go to worship Dalang with your brother first, and then entertain guests for you."

Jiang Zhi nodded, and walked into the kitchen. The maid, Xiao Cui, was a social cow, and she had already become one with Zhou's sister-in-law, Qiu Shi and others.

"Ms. Jiang, how should I cook this pork?" Xiao Cui asked while holding the meat.

"Let me do it." Jiang Zhi took the meat. The meat didn't smell bad, and it was pork belly again. Jiang Zhi immediately thought of what to do.

I saw that Jiang Zhi washed the pork, soaked it in warm water, took it out after a cup of tea time, added scallions and wine to blanch the water, took it out after floating foam, put it in soy sauce for coloring, and then fried it with clear oil. Finally, spread the seasoning prepared with salt, soy sauce, five-spice powder and sugar.

Then in the pot, fry a large bowl of dried plums.

Take out a small bowl again, put seasoned meat on the bottom, and then put dried plums on top, pour the remaining sauce into the bowl, and then put a few bowls into the steamer.

"Big sister, what is this method?" Seeing Jiang Zhi's operation, Qiu felt that it was very strange, and it was the first time she had seen such a method.

The meat is boiled and fried, fried and steamed.

"I also came up with a whim, so that the meat can be tainted with the taste of plum vegetables, and the steamed meat is very soft and glutinous, so it should taste good." Jiang Zhi put the lid on the steamer and asked Xiaocui to add firewood to the stove.

"I've never heard that meat can do this," Qiu said.

Zhou's sister-in-law also said: "Yes, does this dish have a name?"

"After the meat is cooked through, I will put the bowl over, and the plum vegetables on the top will go to the bottom, so why not call it braised pork with plum vegetables." Jiang Zhi knows that the eight major cuisines of this era have not yet been fully formed, and braised pork with preserved vegetables has not yet been fully formed. It didn't show up either.

It just so happens that this kind of steamed dish that doesn't test the heat is not too simple for people who don't like stir-fried dishes.

The pork that is steamed in this way can serve two bowls of rice.

"Okay, the name sounds nice and appropriate. If it's delicious, I'll make it during New Years and festivals." Qiu said with a smile.

Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, and handed the stir-fried vegetables to Qiu Shi.

The fried diced chicken and shredded rabbit had already been prepared before Qiu Shi and others came to help, and they were placed on the stove and covered with a bowl to keep warm.

Ye Xiaomei was setting the table and chopsticks. It was almost noon, and none of Ye Dalang's classmates came.But this is also good, less human contact.

The small green vegetables can be served after frying in the pot.

Jiang Ling'an sat in the courtyard with a group of elders chatting.

Jiang Zhi asked Erlang to take Ye Heng to kowtow in front of Ye Dalang's grave to burn money, and then the feast began after he came back.She wants to stay at home to entertain guests, so she won't go.There was a reason for Jiang Zhi not to go, she was not Ye Dalang's real wife, so it was inappropriate to go.

According to the rules of the feudal era, men and women had different seats.

So Jiang Zhi arranged the table for the male guests inside the house, and the table for the female guests outside the house.

This arrangement is also because some of the male guests are older and senior.

"Big girl, you have worked hard. You made so many delicious food, it's really delicious." Sitting on the bench, he swallowed his saliva smelling the aroma.

Jiang Zhilang smiled: "Brother Big Niu thinks it smells good, so eat more."

Today, there are Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, and Shredded Rabbit on the table, as well as three side dishes with wild vegetable balls, fried vegetables, and oily fruits.There is also chicken soup to warm the stomach, enough steamed buns and rice, and wine.

Everyone was dazzled, even the wealthy people in the village would not dare to eat like this.

It can be seen that this is bloody.

　I really didn't pick this day to have a banquet, it really happened, there is such a coincidence in the world.Abe is dead.
