The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 97 Douban Sauce

The sun is very hot in this season, and it is also a good time to make bean paste. After the weekly feast, Cuihua started the most important work of this year.

The core of making bean paste is moldy bean paste and pepper, and a lot of salt.

In the Yuan Mansion of Dali Village, Cuihua called Yuan Damei, Mrs. Zhang, and Aunt Li to the main courtyard, and together with her, they chopped dry broad beans. The broad beans were divided into two and soaked overnight to facilitate shelling.

Mrs. Ma and her two daughters-in-law returned to the capital after the Zhou Zhou banquet was over. They preferred the days when they could call their slaves and maidservants, and they had the potential to be noble ladies than Mrs. Cuihua.

Cuihua looked at her mother, who didn't seem very happy, and asked, "What are you doing? Don't you want to do some work for your daughter?"

Mrs. Zhang gave her a blank look, and saw that sister Yuan and Aunt Li were not talkative people, so they muttered to Cuihua.

"The nephew and niece of the second family's natal family, didn't my uncle send someone to pick them up? The second family's family is rude, and the sister-in-law is at the door of the house, and they don't come to say thank you! Who is to blame for her?" !"

Speaking of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang was very unhappy.

"When I first heard about her natal family, she fainted from crying. After waking up, my God, I almost gave all the chickens and cloths in their room to Huo Huo. I killed chickens all day long and gave them to her nephew and niece. I've already worn eight clothes, don't stop!"

"What I can't figure out is that she has never seen her give anyone a candy to our Hu family's nephews and nieces. Tell me, how can I not be angry?"

Cuihua has always had an average impression of this second sister-in-law, and she doesn't have a deep relationship with her, but she can't see that her mother is unhappy.

"Mother, it's normal for people to look towards their own blood relatives. To put it bluntly, I don't care about her. I only care about this matter because of my brother's face. Who doesn't eat less chicken? If you like to make clothes, you can do it." Go, Xiao Chuan is in my house, what clothes do you still need?"

"Just think about it, do I have the same affection for Xiao Chuan and the others as my second sister-in-law? I am also willing to feed, drink and dress my natal nephew and niece! But, my family is richer and can afford it."

"Of course, I'm definitely not partial. I treat the Yuan family's nephews and nieces the same way. Eldest sister, your Ding Doudou, you and your brother-in-law should be happy. If you let me raise them, I will definitely treat them like juniors."

Sister Yuan smiled and said, "That's a good relationship. When my family Doudou goes to school, I will send it to you. I said I would not be partial. I will remember."

Mrs. Zhang sighed after hearing what these two people said. None of the three daughters-in-laws in the family got along as well with Cuihua as sister Yuan.

The dried broad beans that have been chopped all day weigh a thousand kilograms, soaked in a large wooden barrel for a whole night, after removing the coat of the broad beans, wash the soaked broad bean petals and drain the water.

Then boil a pot of water, put the watercress in a steamer and steam them thoroughly. After cooling down, wait for the water vapor on the surface of the watercress to dry up.

Wash the dustpan in advance, dry it in the sun, spread a layer of green vegetable leaves, spread the cooled broad bean flaps evenly, and cover it with a layer of green vegetable leaves.

Put the dustpan in a cool place to ferment. After ten days or so, broad bean petals will be covered with moldy mildew, and then dry the hairy bean petals in the sun to become dried hairy bean petals for later use.

Cuihua chose a sunny day to make the sauce, put the white wine, salt, and water into the boiling water, wait for the boiling water to cool down before pouring it into the big sauce jar, and finally pour the dried moldy bean paste into it, stir evenly, and serve it with Cover with clean gauze and expose to the sun.

The batch of salt that was blacked out on Dunyu Island last time, Heiwa got it out again to make sauce. The demand for salt is not small, and Cuihua sang praises to him:
"Husband, this move of yours really suits my heart. Let's save a lot of money by making soy sauce!"

The cheerful Heiwa had forgotten, his wife was so worried at the time, there was so much salt that no one could finish it in several lifetimes.

For this batch of bean paste, Cuihua customized a batch of big sauce jars, and more than 20 big sauce jars were placed in the yard, which was very spectacular.

Xiao Liu, a stinky boy, climbed into a large empty tank without paying attention, scaring the little girl who was following him to the point of crying.

Fortunately, this kid soon got tired of playing, he couldn't get out of the tank, he screamed, and after being carried out by his mother-in-law, Cuihua slapped his ass a few times, and this time he was really beaten to tears .

If this fell into the tank where the bean paste was drying, this guy would have to be drowned.

The man waited cautiously for his father to come back, and complained: "Father, mother spanked, fart, pain, cry!"

Heiwa laughed loudly: "Youngest, why are you being naughty today, your mother is crying for you, hahaha."

Complaints are useless?What do I want you for?He was so angry that he didn't want to be hugged by his father, and ran away by himself.

After being exposed to the sun for half a month, the bean paste has been repeatedly stirred every day, and it has turned dark brown.

Seeing that the sauce is ready to dry, the next day, I started picking peppers.

The reddest peppers are selected for seeds, which must be dried in the sun before they can be planted.

For the remaining peppers, remove the stalks, wash and dry them, add ginger and chop them into fine pieces. Cutting peppers is a very exhausting job.

Cuihua was also reluctant to order her relatives, so she found ten daughters-in-law from the village, 500 renminbi a day, ten people cut them for two days, her eyes were red and swollen, and her hands were swollen, but she made a tael of silver in just two days , All said that this job is still willing to do.

Pour the chopped chili into the sun-dried bean paste, and the dark brown bean paste will immediately turn red.

The big sauce jar covered with fine gauze still needs to be dried like this for two months, and it still needs to be stirred every day. This work can only be done by Aunt Li.

For more than a month, the two stinky boys played wild in the Zhuangzi, changing from white and fat dolls to black and fat dolls.

Xiao Wu has to go to the river to pick up duck eggs every day. This bad boy also likes to pinch eggs with his bare hands. He smashes them for you, and his whole body is covered in egg liquid. hum.

Xiao Liu and the sheep raised in their village were on the fence, and they didn't know how many times they were kicked by the sheep, drooling at people, wanting to eat mutton, this is a fool, the sheep are annoying him to death.

Heiwa expressed emotion more than once: It is still comfortable to live in the village, let alone the children, he and Cuihua are too happy to miss the capital.

But there is still a family in the city, old and young, and the two elders have urged them several times, waiting for their mother to go back to review their second volume of comic book "Two Black Dogs on the Road [-]", this time it is about entering Chengdu.

Reluctantly pulling a cart of chickens and ducks back to the city, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu cried heartbreakingly: "Don't go, no, no."

People haven't gotten tired of playing yet, how can there be as much fun as this village at home!

Well, after returning home, I was rubbed by my brothers and giggled for a long time, and it was all right again, I have my brothers back home!
The black dog picture in the second book is obviously more delicately drawn, and the dog's emotions can be seen. It seems that the two babies really observe the expressions of the black tiger and the black panther, and the language is more lively and lovely.

The big head smiled, and said to his mother: "Mom, the nieces and masters also helped out this time. They are also very good at reading."

Ertou answered: "After we finished writing, we read it to everyone a few times, and then they made suggestions. We revised it a few times, and then we found the little girl and servant in the house to read it to everyone. It has been revised eight times before and after!"

"It's not bad. It's good to know how to ask readers for suggestions. Mom thinks it's better than the first volume. You can discuss it with Brother Lei Ting and see how many volumes you want to print. You will be responsible for it in the future."

"Can we do this?" "There is nothing wrong with it. You are all old people who have published the third book. You can do it. Mother believes in you!"

The two ends were given heavy responsibilities, so they had to discuss with Zhao Leiting, and finally decided to take a gamble. The first printing was 5000 volumes in color and 10000 volumes in black and white. The money earned last time was used to invest in printing.

Familiar formula, familiar taste, after the new book is placed on the independent bookcase in Beijing Bookstore, fans of "Two Black Dogs on the Road" must continue to read, this is the originator of children's books, okay?

The prince and Princess Jingyao who had almost forgotten the Yuan Mansion's catching Zhou ceremony, immediately remembered this episode after receiving the new book. Who said that children are forgetful?
Empress Gao lost her temper due to the quarrel, so she had to ask her confidant to come to Yuan's mansion to look for Cuihua.
The crown prince and Princess Jingyao were escorted by guards, and arrived at the Yuan Mansion early in the morning. The crown prince was still very curious, and followed them to read books all morning.

Princess Jingyao didn't care about these things. Although these two fat brothers were tanned, they were still fun. They were also willing to share their toys with her: black tiger and black panther.

During the past six months, Cuihua found many bitches for the two dogs, but they didn't like them, and they still haven't been able to give birth to Xiao Heilai.

Seeing the little princess climbing up and down on the black tiger, Cuihua felt guilty for not satisfying the little princess' wish to raise a dog.

After feeling guilty, Cuihua also took great pains in order to make up for the Zhou banquet for the two royal families.

Mini custard buns in the shape of cute pig heads, honey-roasted chicken wings, crispy squab, steamed prawns (this ingredient was replaced by space prawns after buying), roast chicken (from Nanzhou), steamed lion Head, pan-fried lamb chops, stir-fried tender bean sprouts, etc.

Butter is handmade by mothers-in-law. How can cakes be without cream?A layer of red jam is brushed and then a layer of cream is spread, and the cake base is continued, and a thick layer of cream is spread on the top cake body, and persimmon liquid is used for embellishment.

The big head and the second head are still the old rules. They eat with the two brothers and sisters of the prince. As soon as the pig and pig buns are lifted from the steamer, Princess Jingyao is reluctant to eat them. The pigs are so cute. After they are cooled, they take a small bite. , Wow, good time.

Shrimp is also good, tender, a little sweet, not fishy at all, ang woo, have another big mouthful!

The prince tasted all the dishes first, um, they were delicious, and said while chewing: "I heard that there are roast suckling pigs in your village's rice noodles!"

Ertou smiled and replied: "The oven in the village is relatively large, and it can be used for roast pigs. However, I ate it, and it was not as delicious as this crispy pigeon. Really, Your Highness, my mother hasn't cooked it before. How about this pigeon, this one is even more delicious!"

Datou: "My mother said that the banquets in the village are mainly for adults, and the taste is relatively strong. Today is a children's meal for you and the princess. The taste should be suitable for children."

Prince: I heard that others have praised your roast suckling pig to the sky. Tell me, it’s not as delicious as this pigeon?I'm not a child, I'm an adult, hum!

Three cakes were made, and the children were so full that they actually made a whole cake. The other two royal families are used to packing. Princess Jingyao held the cake box and did not let go. This is the best cake she has ever eaten. The pastry was eaten, and she was going to take it home for the queen mother.
