Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 113 Teaching Cooking

This is clean and convenient, and can also fertilize the land.

Zhou Ming's eyes widened, "This is much more convenient, but how to make this pipe and what material is it made of? Bamboo?"

"We don't need bamboo. Aren't we going to build a brick kiln? Just fire ceramic pipes. It's easy to connect them one by one and they won't corrode." Zhou Yue said.

Iron pipes will be corroded and rusted by water, but ceramic pipes are more durable. Anyway, they are buried in the ground, and when the time comes to wipe the joints with cement, they will be very strong.

Zhou Ming nodded, expressing understanding.

"Third Brother, now that you understand, I leave the task of directing people to build houses to you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. This is a big matter, and Third Brother must take action!" Zhou Yue said.

Zhou Ming has a delicate mind, so Zhou Yue feels more at ease leaving this kind of matter to him.

Zhou Ming patted his chest with a confident look on his face, "Don't worry, Yueyue, I'll take care of you and I'll make sure to complete the mission."

"Okay, I believe you!" Zhou Yue looked at Zhou Ming. Sure enough, her brother still had to smooth things over.

In the evening, Zhou Qing used an ox cart to transport some limestone and clay back. These things were relatively easy to find.

"Yueyue, where do you put these things?" Zhou Qing asked, pointing to the limestone and clay on the car.

Zhou Yue pointed to the distance, "Let's put it over there, these things need to be processed before they can be used."

Zhou Qing nodded and pulled the bullock cart over there.

It was getting dark, and every house lit a fire. Liu Jing brought her daughter-in-law Zhao Yuanyuan to Zhou Yue.

"Yueyue, we are here." Liu Jing said.

Zhou Yue saw them and thought of teaching them how to cook. It was a very busy day.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, wait a minute, I'm going to prepare something." Zhou Yue said, then turned and went back to the ox cart.

From the space, I took out some pepper, star anise, chili and other seasonings, also took a fish and a chicken, and finally took a rabbit.

Taking the things out, Zhou Yue processed the chicken first, cut it into pieces and put them on the plate.

Qian Guilan was helping to light the fire. After Zhou Yue chopped some onion, ginger and garlic, she walked to the front of the pot and said to the two of them, "Aunt, sister-in-law, take care, put oil in the pot."

Zhou Yue took a spoonful of lard and poured it into the pot, and the white solid oil melted immediately. "After the oil is hot, add the ginger slices, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise and chili peppers."

As soon as these ingredients are put into the pot, the aroma of the ingredients immediately wafts out of the pot, especially the smell of chili, which is a bit pungent.

"Ahem, Yueyue, why is this thing so choking!" Liu Jing said while coughing.

"Auntie, this is called chili pepper, and the key to its deliciousness lies in it." Zhou Yue introduced.

"After sautéing until fragrant, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry. Stir-fry evenly and add some soy sauce. Auntie, please watch the dosage." Zhou Yue opened her mouth as she added the ingredients, letting them see clearly.

Liu Jing and Zhao Yuanyuan immediately looked at the movements in Zhou Yue's hands and tried to remember them in their minds.

"After stir-frying, add water to cover the chicken pieces, cover the lid, and bring to a boil over high heat." Zhou Yue added water, covered the lid, and took advantage of the cooking time to handle the rabbit.

Cut the rabbit into pieces and put it in a large basin and add water. "The rabbit meat should be soaked in advance to remove the blood and fishy smell. You can also blanch some of it in water." Zhou Yue said.

Liu Jing and Liu Jing nodded, indicating that they remembered.

The water in the pot was boiling. Zhou Yue opened the lid and turned over the meat in the pot.

"At this time, you can put some potato cubes in." Zhou Yue took out two potatoes, chopped them and put them in the pot.

"What is a potato?" Zhao Yuanyuan asked as she had never seen a potato before.

"This is a vegetable that grows in the soil. Peel off the skin and cut it into pieces. It is very delicious when stewed with chicken." Zhou Yue explained.

The two nodded and watched Zhou Yue's next move.

Zhou Yue took the rabbit out of the basin, "Drain the rabbit meat, put it in the basin, add soy sauce and cooking wine and marinate it for a while."

"Yueyue, what is cooking wine? Is it drinking wine?" Liu Jing asked.

Zhou Yue shook her head, "It's not wine for drinking, it's specially used for cooking. It can remove the fishy smell. I will prepare all these ingredients for you when the time comes."

"Oh, it's for removing the fishy smell." Liu Jing looked at the cooking wine and tried to remember it in her head.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Yue quickly handled the fish, "You guys watch, we have to slice the fish into thin slices."

Liu Jing and the two watched Zhou Yue cut the fish piece by piece, and admired Zhou Yue's knife skills very much.

"Yueyue, your knife skills are great. Each piece looks about the same thickness." Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Yue with eyes shining.

Zhou Yue smiled and said, "If you practice hard, you will be like this too."

It was estimated that the chicken in the pot was almost ready. Zhou Yue opened the lid, added a little salt, and took it out of the pot.

Filling a large basin, Zhou Yue asked her and the two of them to taste it.

Liu Jing picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of potato. She was curious about this, so she blew it and put it in her mouth.

"Huh? It melted as soon as it was placed in your mouth?" Liu Jing exclaimed, "Yueyue, this potato is delicious! It melts without having to bite it, and it still smells like chicken."

"Really! It's pink and glutinous, with a little spicy taste, delicious!" Zhao Yuanyuan followed suit, and she was also the first to eat the potatoes.

"Try the chicken nuggets again, and remember the taste." Zhou Yue said, taste is essential if you want to cook well.

The two then picked up the chicken nuggets and put them in their mouths. "Ha, it's a bit spicy, but I still want to eat it. I'm sweating!" Zhao Yuanyuan spoke first, her face turned red from the spicy food.

There are no chili peppers here, so it was strange to eat chili peppers at first. The Zhou family has long been accustomed to the taste of chili peppers, but this is the first time for Zhao Yuanyuan to eat spicy food, so her ability to accept it is a little bit worse.

"This is the taste of chili. After eating the dishes made of chili, it can remove the moisture in the body. It is perfect for this seaside." Zhou Yue said.

"I also think it's delicious. It felt a bit exciting at first, but the more I ate, the more I wanted to eat, and the more I ate, the more I became addicted!" Liu Jing commented.

"Yes, when people get used to this taste, they will like it more and more." Zhou Yue nodded. With chili peppers, it is difficult to manage the restaurant's business well.

The two of them agreed very much with Zhou Yue's words, because they just ate one piece and wanted to continue eating.

Zhou Yue taught them how to make braised rabbit meat and fish with pickled cabbage. Both of them were full of praise after eating.

"You can cook the usual home-cooked dishes as you like. These three dishes will be the signature dishes, which will boost the restaurant's business." Zhou Yue urged.

"Okay, Yueyue, don't worry, we will definitely open the restaurant well!" Zhao Yuanyuan said, she absolutely adores Zhou Yue, and if Yueyue says she can do it, she will definitely do it!
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, aunt and cousin. I will teach you some other dishes in the future. Our restaurant will definitely be prosperous." Zhou Yue's time is relatively tight now, there are too many things to do, and there is no way to teach There are too many, so we can only come slowly later.
