Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 815 Help
Fang Xiaofu didn't know what the second brother and his cousin were talking about when they went out for a walk, so she started to get busy in the kitchen again.

Although the second brother said that there is no need to add special dishes, cousin Xu's family is still a distinguished guest, so he can't just neglect it like this.

However, her side dishes today have been arranged according to the standard of hospitality. After all, there are so many cousins ​​at home, so she has to treat them well.

After thinking about it, she added pearl balls, steamed carved wax gourd, deep-fried mashed potato balls, and egg dumplings. They were all small dishes, but they were unique and delicious.

It's a trick to entertain the son from such a big family with such a small dish.But it's also quite laborious to do.

She can only carve wax gourds with simple flower shapes, but she can't carve strange and complicated shapes.And the egg dumplings should be baked slowly on the side of the small stove with a big spoon, and made one by one.

Of course, the first thing to do is chop the stuffing, pearl balls need stuffing, egg dumplings also need stuffing, steamed winter melon also needs a little bit of seasoning stuffing...

But the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother all went out, Ziwei never came back, and it was not easy to disturb Lu Yunxuan who was studying in the house, Caiyun couldn't do such strenuous work, and the auntie was busy in the baking room.

The mother went to do the laundry and hasn't come back yet, the old lady is still busy in the backyard, and the old man and the second master went to the field.There is no one to lend a hand at all...

Although she can also ask someone to call Aunt Tang to help, but right now it is the time when the baby's cotton clothes are rushing to work, there are many people doing work on the second master's side, and someone needs to take care of it, and the courtyard has to go to patrol from time to time .

If my mother and uncle didn't go, Aunt Tang and Uncle Yang had to watch over her.There are also things like drying cotton clothes, collecting cotton clothes, and playing cotton clothes. Someone has to take care of them, and things are very trivial.

Well, today the kitchen is her world, so take your time to make good noodles.

But just as she took out the meat and began to cut it, Lu Yunxuan came into the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law three, I'm free right now, just tell me what you need me to do." Lu Yunxuan seemed to know Fang Xiaofu's difficulty, and said casually.It seems that he happened to be very free today, looking for things to pass the time.

"Can you chop vegetables?" Fang Xiaofu was a little excited, it would be foolish to push labor out at this time.

"Yes, I know how to mince meat." Lu Yunxuan nodded, went to fetch water to wash his hands, and prepared to chop vegetables.

"Great, let's chop them all into minced meat." Fang Xiaofu said immediately.

"..." The corners of Lu Yunxuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything more. After washing his hands, he rolled up his sleeves and came over to take the kitchen knife and began to slice the meat first, and then the stuffing.

"I'll call Caiyun over, I'll make pearl balls later with more hands." Fang Xiaofu said happily, then turned and went to the baking room.

As soon as Caiyun heard this, she got up and went to the kitchen. Fang Xiaofu called Ziya to go to the storeroom to get eggs. The eggs in the bakery were all used up, so she had to go to the storeroom to get them.

Not to mention the better food in the old Fang's house now, eggs and flour are used in the bakery from time to time, so these things are always on hand, and if they don't have enough, they go to the village to buy them.

Fang Yang knew that if there were any guests today, he would stop by the baking room so that he could help in the kitchen.

Fang Xiaofu quickly stopped him, saying that the dishes were almost ready, and he wanted to add a few more side dishes, except that no one had killed the chicken, and she was busy with the rest.

Fang Yang laughed when she heard it, and said that she would kill the chicken after the furnace was closed, and just prepare hot water first.Now the old Fang's family knows that Xiao Qi'er can't kill chickens, and they won't force her to do such a thing.

Such a smart and capable Xiao Qi'er also has weaknesses, which makes her more like a normal person.

Soon, the kitchen became lively, Lu Yunxuan was chopping stuffing, Ziya was holding a big bowl and beating eggs, Fang Xiaofu cut the winter melon into squares and began to carve roses with a watermelon knife. Get excited.

In fact, this is the simplest kind of carving, which is to show the layering of the petals by cutting off the remaining flesh at different angles. It is not difficult to master the flower shape skills and the dexterity of the hands.

Of course, it is easy to see flowers and difficult to embroider. If there is no dexterous strength, it is easy to lose shape or scratch your fingers.So Fang Xiaofu only let Caiyun watch, not let her do anything.

Of course, a few flowers alone can't make a decent dish, and she carved flowers just for decoration, and then cut off a section of winter melon at the end, and began to carve a winter melon cup.

Simple winter melon cups are easy to make, but this winter melon was picked yesterday, and only half of it is left. There are three round table people even if they squeeze together, so at least there must be three winter melon cups.

"Ziya, you and Zituo went to pick a winter melon, it should be as big as this." Fang Xiaofu compared the size of the large piece of winter melon that was cut to Ziya.

"Is it only necessary to be able to cut out such a large piece?" Ziya was very smart, and immediately understood Fang Xiaofu's intentions.

Fang Xiaofu nodded, and said again: "Pick a few more peppers and dig a few green onions."

Ziya nodded, immediately put down the egg bowl, picked up the vegetable basket and went out.

Fang Xiaofu began to carve the wax gourd cup, the flower skin, carved the picture, and made the top cover. After it was done, it was placed in a flat-bottomed hot pot, and a water rack and a steaming plate were placed in the pot. After the other two were done, they would be steamed together.

This time the preparations were hasty, and the chicken soup was going to be simmered separately, so she only planned to use some minced meat, wolfberry, red dates and eggs to make a clear soup for this winter melon cup.

And only put a little salt, not even oil.A real broth with the scent of winter melon, sprinkled with scallions just before serving.

After the winter melon cup was steamed, Fang Xiaofu chopped the potatoes planed by Caiyun and put them in another pot to steam. After the winter melon cup was steamed, he put the roses into the hot pot and warmed it over low heat.

The pearl meatballs are also ready here, filled with three steamers.

Fang Xiaofu waited until the potatoes were steamed and softened, took them out, washed the pot and washed the rice and put it in the pot, and asked Caiyun to wash the pork belly and large intestine with the rice washing water, and then directed Lu Yunxuan to cut them out.

Taking advantage of this time, Caiyun also washed the green onions and peppers, plus the eggplants and peppers before, and gave them to Lu Yunxuan to cut them out.

Fang Xiaofu asked Ziya to mash the potatoes into mashed potatoes, while she added fire to the stove inside, cooked the rice, and put the steamer on.

Seeing that the two pots were used, and the auntie slaughtered the chickens and put them in the end basin, Fang Xiaofu sighed inwardly. It would be great if there were two more stoves in the house.

The chicken was also given to Lu Yunxuan to chop up, and Fang Xiaofu immediately started making egg dumplings.At this time Fang Zijian came back, Fang Xiaofu immediately asked him to build a temporary small stove on the open space outside the kitchen.

Originally, the small stove in the kitchen was built two stories high with bricks, and the triangular iron frame was built on it. It can be high or low, and it still burns firewood.

Fang Zijian knew that Xu Jiahan was coming to eat here, so he went outside to set up a stove in the corner without saying a word.There is also a triangular iron stand at home, so it can stand a pot.
