The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 77
Feeling the conscience: Although there are many inconveniences in ancient times, and the imperial power is still supreme, people with a certain class and economic ability really live comfortably.

The newly bought Chunya and Xiaya are thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, but they are very capable.

The two of them are mainly responsible for taking care of the two babies, changing and washing the diapers, and feeding the baby to Cuihua after waking up.

Cuihua didn't worry about anything except breastfeeding her baby and pinching the little jiojio, and she had a very comfortable confinement.At night, I can watch my husband work in the field in the space, chat with him, and have extra meals when I’m hungry.

"The five parts of your cement workshop have been repaired. When will you return to Beijing?" The confinement man was lying on a recliner on the ridge of the field, watching the man harvest corn.

"What the new emperor means, let me supervise the construction of the river embankment at the end of the year, and then we can withdraw it after the sample is finished!" Mr. Yuan Qian is very concerned about the river embankment. This ancient flood is ruthless, but there is no cutest person. come to the rescue.He must pay attention to build this embankment.

What Cuihua is most curious about is that the efficiency of this ancient infrastructure is not bad, which should be due to the cheap labor force: "Have the official roads of the whole country been repaired?"

Heiwa said proudly: "Now basically all the official roads in the country are being repaired. If they are all passed, it will take a year. The main thing is to cultivate and repair. The official roads will become longer. The governments of all places are very concerned about this." Positive."

Cuihua thought of a question that had been puzzling her all along: "However, how can this matter be resolved?"

"Daughter-in-law, you really hit the point. I told the new emperor at the beginning that I wanted to nail the horse's hooves with iron palms to reduce the damage to the horses, but I can't control the bullock carts and mules. "

"Now there are still fewer people with cars, and more people with legs. You should build sidewalks on both sides of the road to separate people and cars."

"How can there be so much money? If you don't think about it, who are the people who paid for the road construction? Anyway, our slogans are everywhere-pedestrians keep to the right, and cars and horses go in the middle."

"That's right, those merchants don't care about the life and death of civilians, and their own convenience is king."

"Daughter-in-law, I'm craving noodles with chicken fir oil. Hehe, you're in the late pregnancy, and I'll be out of food for a few months after I finish making that jar of chicken fir oil."

"That's right, I want to eat it too. You go to Hushan to pick some. I haven't been there for a few months. I guess we have to pick a lot. Let's be bolder tonight and get a few dozen catties of it for you to eat for a few months." .”

The pine forest in the space has grown into towering trees, and the pine nuts are bigger than the mouth of a bowl. The couple are in Yunnan, and they have harmed many flocks of chicken fir.

Anyway, after transplanting, these chicken fir flocks grow very fast, within ten days and a half months, as long as you have time to find them, you can pick a dozen catties at will.

Compared with matsutake, the couple have a soft spot for chicken fir, especially when made into chicken fir oil, which is fragrant and chewy, and tastes better than meat.Use chicken fir oil to mix the noodles, no matter how you eat it, it will not be greasy, and use the king crab in the space to exchange it with others, and everyone else's Heiwa chooses this.

The seven tigers are not interested in mushrooms. They lazily watched the male owner busy with his buttocks on the mountain. They were really too busy. Recently, a tigress was pregnant. Finally, there was something to do. After the tiger cubs came out, It can be taught to hunt.

The child really grows when he sees the wind. The red and wrinkled child who was just born stretched out in less than ten days. The quality of the mother's milk is good. Every meal is full, and the little milk fat will get up soon It made the two elder brothers stare intently every day, and they were reluctant to leave.

Occasionally spitting milk bubbles, farting, or watching them with half-closed eyes can also be fun for a long time. Heihu and Heibao also come several times a day, and they also guard the door at night.

She was confinement in a short while, Cuihua was in such good health that she hadn't even confinement, Mrs. Zhang was still worried, so she invited an old doctor to check her pulse, and after confirming that her daughter was as strong as a calf, she was released. confinement.

After the full moon, the weather was already late autumn, and she was in a very comfortable state. She began to stroll around Zhuangzi, thinking that it would be suitable to build a workshop there, and she thought that she would be able to make noodles this year.

The three-headed and four-headed full moon wine was also very lively before, but it was a pity that Cuihua just gave birth to a baby and was not able to participate.

When it was the turn of the twins Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to serve the full moon wine, old Yuantou asked for a big treat. His boss is so capable, the twins are twice as lucky, he pays for the treat himself!

Not only did they have to entertain the 10 relatives and friends from the downstream village, but they also made friends with many people in Dali Village.

Mrs. Zhang suggested that we should simply set up running water banquets, which is often held in the banquets of Sichuan people, and we must not forget the food inheritance when we come to the capital.

Because of the full moon wine from his younger brothers, Ertou even sent an invitation letter to his good friend His Highness the Crown Prince, inviting him to eat the Nine Big Bowls in his own Zhuangzi, and described many dishes of the Nine Big Bowls in Shu. The summary is: delicious Got it!Hurry up!

Prince Xiayan was very excited when he received such an invitation for the first time. He said he wanted to go, but he hadn't eaten Jiudawan yet.

Every time Ertou wrote to him, there were always strange food mentions, and this time the nine bowls of dishes seemed quite normal.In the past, they were far away, and there was no such condition. Now they are all in the capital, so they can go visit each other.

The queen was quite puzzled, her son is usually good at eating, he is not a glutton, so it can be seen that he wants to have fun.

After receiving a reply from His Royal Highness, that she wanted to come to participate in the full moon wine for her two sons, Cuihua had to do it by herself and draw up the menu, and she had to cook the troublesome dishes by herself.

There is no shortage of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and fish in Zhuangzi, and the wheat has been harvested. Well, autumn, the harvest season, is very convenient for her to flex her muscles.

The large ovens that she had repaired before she gave birth had already dried out. The kiln chicken, roast duck, and crispy pork belly were ready to go online. On days without ovens, earthen ovens are also very useful.

Thousands of eggs are boiled, and all of them are made into tea eggs. The fermented brick tea boiled tea eggs taste better. You can share two with each neighbor in the village. Who doesn’t love tea eggs?
Because of the chili pepper, boiled pork slices and boiled fish are arranged. I am afraid that this group of people will not be able to eat spicy food, so I made a series of slightly spicy, let the chili wake up the taste buds, and let Zhuyu see who is the authentic spicy!

The many dried seafood brought back from the shield fish island can also make a few dishes. Cuihua has long wanted to make soft-bodied shield fish. After searching for information for a long time, she finally made it this time.

Soaking the soft-bodied shield fish is time-consuming. Clean the dried shield fish first, put it in a sealed container with clear spring water, cover the container with ice cubes, soak for 12 hours, and change the water once in the middle.When the time is up, take it out, and then change the water and soak it for 12 hours.

Put the soaked shield fish in a sealed tank, put ginger slices, scallions and Shaoxing wine, steam in a steamer for 2 hours, turn the heat to low after boiling.After turning off the heat, put it in the pot to cool naturally, take it out and clean it, and set it aside.

Then put the fried pork ribs, old chicken, and pig's feet from the bottom of the casserole to the top in order. The middle layer is the soaked shield fish, and the heart of the shield fish is placed downwards. The last layer is chicken feet and scallops. Granules, sprinkled in.

Slowly pour the broth from pig bones and chicken racks into a large casserole, simmer on low heat, add broth a few times in the middle, after 24 hours, the soup will bottom out, and the fire will thicken, add oyster sauce and sugar seasoning.

The shield fish simmered over a slow fire, cut open, the heart of the shield fish is like egg liquid.Put it in the mouth, it has a jellybean-like taste, sticky to the teeth, as if it is a naturally melted sugar solution, fresh and smooth, and it will leave an endless aftertaste.

The master dish taster expressed his satisfaction. He didn't mess up the first time he made it, but the veteran craftsman is different.

Of course, the traditional sweet and salty Shaobai of Sichuan are also indispensable, as well as fragrant bowls, etc., and crispy meat is also deep-fried in ten pots.The aroma of the big kitchen wafted all over the village, and the villagers began to salivate before they ate it. It was so fragrant, and the Shu people really knew how to eat it!

On the day of the banquet, the crown prince came early with Princess Jingyao, and was directly welcomed into the right wing room where the two heads lived. The two heads hugged their younger brother who looked like a steamed stuffed bun, which surprised the prince and princess.

"Your Highness, princess, the one my elder brother is holding with one swirl on his head is my Xiaowu, and the one I'm holding with two swirls is Xiaoliu. Look, don't you look very good!"

The two heads are like presenting treasures, and the five-headed little jiojio is exposed, and pinched for Princess Jingyao. This is his and his mother's favorite action.

The princess looked at the two babies curiously. After all, she was the youngest in the palace, and she had never seen a baby younger than her: "They are so obedient, they don't cry, jiojio is so small, so soft to hold, so good fun."

The milk-scented dolls quickly won her favor, and she brought them many toys she had played with this time.

The prince also agrees with his sister's words, these two babies are very suitable for his eyes, they are very cute and well-behaved.

Cuihua tidied up the middle room for the two heads, a living room specially used for entertaining guests. There is a round table under the window in the living room that can be rotated in the middle, and a dining chair with a comfortable backrest. The height is very friendly to children, and you can see the Flowers blooming in the yard.

The most important thing is that there are delicious dishes on the table that he has never seen before: whole kiln chicken with burnt yellow skin, roast duck with caramel color and oil, crispy pork belly tender inside, boiled fish, soft-boiled shield fish, several A small steaming bowl, as well as light chickpeas and cabbage hearts in boiling water.

The prince couldn't help but swallowed, watching the two heads pick up food for him with serving chopsticks, and there was no servant to serve him. He also wanted to do it himself, and take care of his sister from time to time.
Princess Jingyao is most interested in kiln chicken and cabbage heart. The tender young chicken is easy to chew, has a slightly salty smell, the skin is fragrant, the meat is tender and juicy, and she smiles when she eats it, looking at an ordinary cabbage heart , It tastes sweet and refreshing.

From the very first mouthful, the prince never calmed down. He drove away the little eunuch who was testing the poison. No one was watching. The fish is also very glutinous.

The running water seats outside were so crowded that Cuihua didn't serve them shield fish, boiled cabbage, etc., but chicken, duck, pork, and fish.The villagers of the three villages were all invited.

This is really the most sumptuous meal they have eaten in these years. It can be recalled for several years. During the whole day, the villagers came to have two meals. .

Even the restrained royals were overwhelmed, drinking the red fruit tea prepared by Cuihua, and collapsed on the recliner.

Prince: The cooks in the imperial dining room in the palace are all useless, and they are not as delicious as the dishes made by Ertou his mother. I have really seen the world.
