Spring is coming

Chapter 21: Stewed mutton and radish soup and roasted lamb stick bones
Mo Jingchun stood in front of the stove for a moment and took stock of the cooking environment tonight.

The kitchen in the thatched courtyard is still simple, but fortunately there are pots and pans, and there is a vegetable garden behind the house that the old man takes care of himself.

She asked Bo Qingshan to get a handful of green onions and white radish, while she went to a nearby street to buy a piece of juicy tofu. She had already made a preliminary plan for tonight's meal in her mind.

Green onions mixed with tofu, stewed mutton and radish soup, and grilled lamb bones.

For the rest, pinch a handful of green vegetables and stir-fry them to relieve greasy taste.

After making up her mind, she first picked up the existing spices, put the mutton, tangerine peel, cumin and ginger into the pot and brought to a boil over high heat.

In this process, you need to fish it out immediately after the foam comes out, rinse it with clean water and set it aside for later use.

The ginger slices were specially left unpeeled because Aunt Hu had taught her that ginger peel was pungent and cool, and had the functions of dissipating fire, removing heat, relieving pain and dispelling rheumatism. Eating it with mutton could also remove the odor.

Then add water to blanch the radish to remove the spiciness, then put it into the stew pot together with the mutton.

The soup is simmering on the pot, and the next step is to make the roasted lamb stick bones.

Although the famous roasted sheep stick bone is made from Tan sheep, and the meat is plump and tender, Mo Jingchun believes that he can use the same method with slight changes to make it with goat legs, which will also taste good.

At that time, people in the dynasty preferred to braise mutton first and then roast it.

Add the mutton ribs into the stewed soup, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down the heat and simmer for a moment, then turn off the heat and simmer for the same amount of time to allow the flavor of the stewed soup to completely penetrate into the mutton ribs, and finally brush with oil and bake.

Braised soup often contains fresh peeled orange flesh, chrysanthemums and other things that can remove the odor and enhance the fragrance.

For those who are too lazy to make their own soup, mutton restaurants on the street sell stewed soup.

At that time, some people liked the original flavor, dipping it directly in salt, and more people used a dry dish made of ground soybeans, stir-fried, and mixed with cumin and other spices as a dipping sauce. Even the nobles in the palace liked it. Eat like this.

Finally, there is a simple cold dish called green onion and tofu, which is easy to make.

After the dishes were all served, Guo Bi was already sitting at the table and couldn't wait. She couldn't stop clapping her hands and praising: "Wonderful, wonderful! Girl Jingchun's skills are superb, and this stewed radish is as good as the royal meal."

As he said that, he first scooped a large spoonful of radish and mutton soup for himself. While drinking the soup, he asked the two of them not to be restrained: "You guys should also try it. Radish can eliminate stagnation and resolve phlegm and heat. It is suitable to eat it with mutton in spring."

Girl Jingchun understands my intention very well. This radish soup is excellent, beautiful, beautiful. "

Bo Qingshan followed the instructions and took a chopstick to roast the lamb leg: "Grandpa Guo, you know that I don't like stewed lamb, so I won't be polite to you about this roasted lamb leg."

The freshly baked lamb bone is golden and crispy. When you bite into it, the surface is crispy and the meat is firm and juicy inside.

After dipping the soybeans and cumin powder, Bo Qingshan felt that his tongue stretched out, and he couldn't wait to pick up another piece.

Both dishes are rich in flavor, and the scallion tofu melts in your mouth, is cool and refreshing, and is the best way to clear your mouth.

Seeing Guo Bi and Bo Qingshan eating happily, Mo Jingchun was eating his rice quietly, and felt that his heart turned into a bird flying up the branches and into the clouds, jumping for joy.

After the meal, the two of them finally thought of Hang Sheng waiting at the city gate.

After bidding farewell to Guo Bi, Mo Jingchun looked back at the thatched courtyard and discovered that there was actually an old bamboo plaque hanging at the gate, with the words "Huai Bi Qi Ju" written on it.

This is where her name comes from, and she remembers it deeply in her heart.

Back at Mo's house, Mo Jingchun jumped into Gao's arms and told her about the fate between Mr. Guo and his parents that he had seen today.

Mrs. Gao also felt that this was fate. Her eyes were filled with water, and with a smile on her face, she gently stroked her hair: "Chun'er, don't listen to what your second aunt is talking about. Everyone has calculated it." , your name suits your destiny, very good."

Mo Jingchun's nose felt sore: "Grandma, do you blame me?"

The child doesn't talk about strange powers and chaos, but country people always believe this.Mrs. Zhou would recite her name to offend her parents because there were such rumors outside, and they were spread in a decent way, so she listened to them.

Gao Shi shook her head slightly. She had never heard of those funny rumors.

"Grandma doesn't believe that. If you are worried, grandma will take you to the temple tomorrow and you can ask the Buddha yourself."

Mo Jingchun lay on her knees, feeling soft in his heart.

Buddha saves the world, and Gao is also her patron saint.

The scorching sun in summer is almost killing people, but now it is time to transplant the seedlings to the paddy fields before the heat.

Therefore, in addition to preparing three meals a day at Bo's house, Mo Jingchun would go to the fields to help when he was free.

Therefore, except for sleeping time, everyone almost eats and drinks in the fields.

The people in Mojiacun are so busy that they fall asleep in bed without touching the ground like wooden tops.

When she went to the fields, Mr. Gao didn't need her to do much work, so he just asked her to follow behind him, planting holes in the fields and sowing the unplanted seedlings.

Although their family didn't have much land, it was still slow for Gao and Mo Qinglin to acquire it. Many people in the village had finished their work, and they were only halfway through.

The weather is not beautiful today, the clouds are thick and the air is humid and muggy, which may be a sign of rain.

Mrs. Gao raised his eyes to look at the sky, frowned and said, "What a bastard! It's going to rain today, and we're sure it won't stop us."

She cursed in a low voice, and then moved forward with Mo Qinglin. Mo Jingchun stopped listening to her and immediately ran back to the field ridge to grab a handful of rice seedlings and join their team.

Gao turned around and glanced, and finally said: "Chun'er, be careful with your hands."

In the busy farming season, more people in the family means more effort.

Mo Jingchun responded and let go of her hands and feet to work in the fields. After a while, her back and back ached. She was about to straighten up and stretch when she heard Mo Ying's voice on the field ridge: "Chun'er! Uncle Qinglin! Second Grandma!" "

Gao and Mo Qinglin also turned their heads and saw Mo Ying's family arriving.

Li, Mo Xiangyuan and Mo Ying were carrying baskets on their backs.

"Second Aunt, our family is almost done. My parents know that you don't have a son in your family, so let us help you."

Mo Xiangyuan's face was full of joy, and he and Mr. Li quickly took off their backpacks, without saying anything else, and got down to work.

Mrs. Li told Mo Ying: "Yingzi, you and Chun'er have a rest, and don't go to the fields to cause trouble. Your father and I are here!"

There were only a few acres of land left. Mo Xiangyuan and Li worked together quickly and were able to reach the front in a short time.

Mo Jingchun and Mo Ying looked at each other and chatted: "Chun'er, your second aunt accused you of stealing her money a few days ago. Has the money been found in the end?"

"Nope."

Mo Jingchun also felt strange, but he didn't show it.

Mo Ying felt happy in her heart: "Yes, I think God has given her a lesson and told her to bully you all day long!"

God... It's so scary to think about it like this. Mo Jingchun trembled and quickly told her to stop talking. He felt numb all over his body.
