This female barber is very skilled

Chapter 46

At noon, Tang Qing did not cook, but fried rice cakes.

This fried rice cake is also a major delicacy in Yancheng.

The biggest feature of Yancheng fried rice cakes is different from that of other places: it is not just fried, but boiled after frying.

It is this boiled, Yancheng fried rice cake with soup.Because of the soup, Yancheng fried rice cakes taste unique.

Before coming to Li's old house in the morning, Tang Qing deliberately picked local water-milled rice cakes made of japonica rice in the vegetable market.

Yancheng fried rice cakes have requirements for rice cakes, and the authentic ones must be made of japonica rice.The rice cakes made of glutinous rice are too glutinous to be stir-fried, and they stick together once stir-fried, making them unpalatable.Although the rice cake made with indica rice is not much different from the rice cake made with japonica rice in appearance, if you make stir-fried rice cake, it will lose the chewiness and fragrance.

Tang Qing is good at making fried rice cakes, because she has liked fried rice cakes since she was a child, in addition to eating chicken noodles.Every time my mother started frying rice cakes, she moved a stool and stood by the stove to watch.It is obvious that her fried rice cakes are also good.

Before mother fried rice cakes, she would first cut the rice cakes into small strips 3 to 4 cm long and 0.5 cm wide, and soak them in water.

Then start to make egg shreds, which is a must for Yancheng fried rice cakes.

Heat the pan, beat the eggs, pour vegetable oil, pour in the beaten egg liquid, spread out a piece of egg pancake like a flat pancake, and cut into shreds after taking it out of the pan.

After the shredded eggs are finished, stir-fry the pickles, which are best marinated with fresh potherb mustard.

At the same time, prepare condiments such as garlic leaves, fresh mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, carrots, pork and tofu.

Cut the garlic leaves into small pieces, cut the mushrooms into thin slices, cut the winter bamboo shoots and carrots into shreds.

Pork is generally leg meat, half fat and half lean. After the fat meat is separated from the lean meat, the fat meat is cut into small cubes, and the lean meat is cut into thin shreds.

Most of the tofu is old tofu, which can be sliced ​​into thin slices and fried until golden brown.

When everything is ready, drain the cut rice cakes, heat up the pan, put in the fat diced meat first, and after the lard is cooked out, put the rice cakes into the pan and stir fry.

When frying rice cakes, pour a small amount of rice wine.This not only prevents the rice cakes from sticking to the pan when they are stir-fried, but also increases the aroma of the rice cakes.

Stir-fry the rice cake until soft, add water, pour in other ingredients, bring to a boil and serve in a bowl.

Tang Qing usually starts to stretch out his little hand after his mother has finished making the shredded eggs, trying to be the first to try something new.After the mother stir-fried the rice cakes, her little hands moved left and right, and filled her little mouth with the hot rice cakes.

When the rice cakes were on the table, Xiao Tang Qing had almost eaten them, but the delicious fried rice cakes could still whet her appetite again and eat a big bowl.

For the fried rice cake at noon today, Tang Qing also deliberately added a few pieces of bad meat to make it more characteristic of Yancheng.

Pork with distiller's grains is an out-and-out traditional dish of Yancheng, which is made from distiller's grains, which is rarely eaten in other places.

"Li Li, it's time for lunch."

Tang Qing stood in the hallway leading to the backyard and shouted.

"Did you make fried rice cakes? Just bring me a bowl."

Li Li responded.

How did she know I made tteokbokki?Is the fried rice cake I made so fragrant?

Hehe, she responded to me with a gentle tone just now. It seems that I made the fried rice cake right. When I held it to her, I just took the opportunity to have a good talk with her, talk about her pregnancy, and talk about her acceptance. How do you plan to go down.

Tang Qing walked briskly, and soon came to Li Li s room door with a bowl of fried rice cakes in his hand.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."

Tang Qing knocked three times.

"Put it at the door."

"Oh, good."

Li Li's tone became blunt again, and Tang Qing could only say "Oh, okay".

Tang Qing, you are such an idiot, why can you only say "Oh, yes" again?Didn't you just plan to have a good talk with her?
The key is that her attitude has changed!I didn't dare to say anything more with her tone. It was not easy for me to answer "Oh, yes".

On the way Tang Qing returned to the hall, he wished he could slap himself twice.

Don't worry, there are many opportunities today, don't you want to pay homage to Master Li together?We have to watch the night together until dawn, so there are many opportunities to talk to her.

Tang Qing's greatest advantage is that he can comfort himself and find a way for himself.

This is a good way to put it, because I have a strong psychological endurance and can see it openly.To put it bluntly, that is the standard Ah Q spirit.

Although Tang Qing's Chinese scores were not very good and he hated taking Chinese classes, he was still deeply impressed by Ah Q, who was always unable to draw a circle.

After a busy afternoon, Tang Qing cooked a table full of dishes, twelve large plates, six meat dishes and six vegetarian dishes.

After the dishes were served, Tang Qing began to set up the Wangxiang Terrace.

Wangxiang Terrace is an earthen platform behind Naihe Bridge on Huangquan Road according to legend. People in Shancheng do "May [-]th" for the dead. They want to build a Wangxiang Terrace in the yard of their home, hoping that they can have a last look at the world from the Wangxiang Terrace.

Wangxiangtai can be simple or luxurious, depending on the conditions of each family.

Most modern people live in high-rise buildings, and basically put a chair on their balcony, put the portrait of the deceased relative on the chair, cover it with a black umbrella, and light three incense sticks next to it, which is regarded as the looking-home terrace.

Although the front yard of Li's old house has a lot of real estate, it is a bit difficult for Tang Qing to build a decent looking home.

Tang Qing heard some of the memorial ceremonies and procedures after a person died from the chats between his grandfather and neighbors in the neighborhood, and he also witnessed some of the funerals of relatives and friends who died, especially after her husband drowned. Participating in the entire memorial ceremony from beginning to end is still unforgettable.

Tang Qing first placed two chairs on the side of the road in the front yard of Li's old house, and then placed another chair high on top of the two chairs.

Then I found a black umbrella and tied it to the back of the top chair. A simple looking-out platform was set up.

"Well, it's okay."

Tang Qing stood in front of the hometown looking platform, quite satisfied with his works.

"Not good, you should carry that grand master's chair out."

A man's head suddenly popped out from under the umbrella of the Wangxiang Terrace. This man's hair was disheveled, a pair of black eyes appeared on his snow-white face, and a small cherry mouth was bright and red.

"Mom, who are you?"

Tang Qing was so frightened that he sat down on the ground in front of the Wangxiangtai.

"The concubine is Li Li's biological mother, Li Shi."

The brightly colored cherry sips out a Shaoxing opera recitation Bai Jiao Didi answered Tang Qing.

"Ah, ah, ah, Aunt Li is good, Aunt Li is good, is it that my Wangxiang platform is not good enough, Mr. Li, he can't see the last look of the world clearly, which made him angry, and sent you to punish me?"

Tang Qing sat on the ground and asked tremblingly, because she was a barber, she responded fairly quickly.

"Yes, my old man is a very high-minded person. He can see things clearly, so he can't be careless."

After the bright-colored Cherry sips a few words, she begins to sing:

"Wangchuan River on Huangquan Road,

Sansheng Stone by the river of Wangchuan;
You and I are engraved on the Sansheng Stone,
Past and present lives will never be forgotten. "

The singing is resentful, sad and moving, and Tang Qing forgets his fear when he hears it.

"The Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River,

helpless, helpless;
There is no fate between you and me,
I hope that the underworld will continue to lead the way. "

Tang Qing burst into tears when he heard this.

"Wangxiang Terrace on the Naihe Bridge,

Looking at the last eye of the world;

Don't cry my dear,
Life is too short to die. "

Tang Qing cried even harder.

"By Wangxiang Terrace, there is Meng Po,

Meng Po is selling Meng Po soup;
Mengpo soup, Mengpo soup,
The water from the Wangchuan River is used for cooking. "

Tang Qing cried in a mess.

"Meng Po brought Meng Po soup,

Let you forget the suffering in the world;
Drink this cup of Wangchuan water,
You and I will never pass this life! "

"No no no, Aunt Li, I know you are a good person, you must be a good person, otherwise Master Li would not like you so much, he would not fall in love with you regardless. Aunt Li, don't be like this, don't worry, Li I will re-build Grandfather’s Wangxiang Terrace, and set it up properly, so that he can take a good look at the world for the last time.”

Tang Qing was completely moved by the libretto, she forgot to wipe her tears, and forgot that there were no ghosts in this world, she only had one thought in her mind:
Master Li and Aunt Li had a predestined relationship in the previous life, but they must renew their relationship in the next life. They are destined to share each other, love each other, have a full house of children and grandchildren, and grow old together.
