Happy peasant girl

Chapter 63
"Sister Xiaoyu, you are really smart! Let's treat it as a dish and fry it to see if it tastes good?" Lin Qingxi often lamented the wisdom of the ancients in modern times, and she also believed that no matter who is willing to use their brains, they will surely Many new things will come up.

Among the six girls, Lin Qingxi was the one with the best cooking skills, so she started frying bean sprouts without hesitation. Since there were no other side dishes in the cave, she just fried bean sprouts in vinegar.

The fried bean sprouts are crispy and sweet, and the sour taste of vinegar is really appetizing.

"Sister Qingxi, are these bean sprouts poisonous?" Lin Xiaotao asked while eating.

"Worried about being poisonous, you still eat it so delicious! Greedy cat!" Lin Xiaoyu gently pointed to Lin Xiaotao's forehead.

"Who made sister Qingxi's dishes so delicious, even if they are poisonous, I would still eat them, hehe!" Lin Xiaotao smiled and glanced at Lin Xiaoyu, and also flattered Lin Qingxi.

"I think the vegetables are not poisonous if they are cooked, but these bean sprouts cannot be eaten raw," Lin Qingxi said.

"Sister Qingxi is right. Soybeans can only be eaten after they are cooked, and bean sprouts should be cooked or fried." Lin Xiaocao echoed.

After eating the bean sprouts, several people hid the things in the cave and went home to have breakfast.After breakfast, the few people who had made an appointment gathered in the big cave again, and Linqingxi specially brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Sister Xi, you said you had a good idea this morning, what is it?" After Lin Qingxi wrote down all the good things they thought of these days on paper, Lin Xiaoyu gently grabbed her arm asked.

Lin Qingxi glanced at the discovery process and production methods of frozen tofu, colorful tofu, yuba and bean sprouts on the paper, then put down the pen and paper with satisfaction and said: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't worry, I will read to you first. What we wrote!"

"Okay, then read it!" Lin Xiaoyu was illiterate before, these days Lin Qingxi would always take advantage of her free time to teach her and Lin Xiaotao and others to read and practice calligraphy.

Everyone in the village knows that the old Lin family has the most people who can read and write, so it is not unusual for Lin Qingxi to know how to write. What is rare is that she is willing to teach them, and several of them are also very serious about learning.

Lin Qingxi had a big idea of ​​what she wrote, and she recorded the credits of the six people. Although her words were a little naive and wordy, it just highlighted her childish personality.

After reading, the girls all opened their eyes wide, waiting for Lin Qingxi to say her good idea.

"Last night, I thought about it for a long time. Didn't we make bean curds and bean curd sticks? I thought, if we fold all the bean curds together and roll them tightly, then tie them tightly with ropes and boil them in clean water for a while , what do you think it will be like?" Lin Qingxi asked with some doubts on purpose.

"It's not easy. Let's try the method you said. Anyway, the six of us can make bean curd. Last time, didn't you say that the bean curd stick can become smooth after soaking it? Just right, we made bean curd stick last time. Give it a try?" After Lin Xiaoyu finished speaking, she started to get the yuba that had been dried last time, and Lin Xiaocao quickly scooped out a small basin of clean water from the small porcelain jar that Lin Xuequan sent.

After a while, Lin Cuihua and Lin Xiaotao prepared the small bamboo quilt, and laid the soaked bean curd sticks together layer by layer, while Lin Qingxi and Lin Yingzi prepared the thin thread, and put the stacked yuba on top of each other. The bean curds were tightly bound into a circle, and Linqingxi also wrapped a layer of clean linen cloth on the outside, and wrapped it with a thin rope.

Turn on the fire, fill the pot with water, put the bundled bean curds into the water and heat until cooked.After half an hour, Lin Xiaoyu and Lin Yingzi took them out of the pot, and put them on another small bamboo quilt to drain the water.

When it was not too hot, Lin Qingxi and Lin Cuihua untied the rope, and removed the linen cloth and the rope inside.At this time, Lin Xiaocao took the knife and began to cut it into round slices as Lin Qingxi said.

"It has a scent of bean curd, but it's different from yuba. Sister Xi, please give it a name!" The things they came up with were named by Lin Qingxi, this time it was Lin Qingxi who came up with the name. She should take the good idea that comes out.

Lin Qingxi ate a small piece and said: "This kind of tightly-cooked bean curd tastes like chicken, but it's not real chicken, even monks can eat it, why don't we call it vegetarian chicken!"

Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Xiaotao, Lin Cuihua, Lin Xiaocao, and Lin Yingzi also imitated Lin Qingxi, took a piece and tasted it, nodded frequently and said, "Although it doesn't taste like anything, it does taste like meat. It’s very similar, so it’s called vegetarian chicken.”

Some of the girls here didn't even know what chicken tasted like when they were young, but I had the impression that I had eaten meat so many times, thinking that this vegetarian chicken tasted a bit like meat, and the two of Linqingxi My elder brother has stayed in a restaurant, thinking that she must have eaten chicken, so she said it looks like chicken, so it is called vegetarian chicken.

"Sister Cuihua, you can season the vegetarian chicken with some salt and green onions later, and let's taste it again." Lin Qingxi said greedily.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Lin Cuihua brought a small pot and began to put the sliced ​​vegetarian chicken in it, and found a small wild onion outside the cave, and put some coarse salt in it to adjust the seasoning.

This time, the few people tasted more delicious, and it tasted more like chicken.

"It's so delicious, Sister Qingxi, you're so smart! From now on, my younger brother will never argue for meat again!" Lin Xiaocao said happily.

"In the future, you can eat meat without meat, haha!" Lin Cuihua said happily.

Lin Qingxi and Lin Xiaoyu also nodded with a smile, so Lin Qingxi wrote down the method of making the vegetarian chicken on a piece of paper, and then they discussed how to tell the clan about these methods.

At this time, Lao Lin's family also gathered some women from Linjia Village. Some of them watched their children and came to chat with Mrs. Mu, such as Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Mei, and some of them came to Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wu The women who learn embroidery, such as Wen, Li, and Qi, sit in two rooms, one room is quietly learning embroidery, and the other room is chatting with laughter.

"Sister-in-law Huilan, do you know what these girls are up to lately?" Lin Xiaotao ran out all day, and sometimes she couldn't find her for dinner, so Mrs. Zhao knew that she was playing with Lin Xiaoyu and Lin Qingxi, But I don't know exactly what they play and where they play.

"I really don't know, girl Xi has been seeing no one lately. She stayed in the field all day long ago. The child's father was worried that he would tire the child, so he let her go out to play, but he didn't know what she was playing. , went out early in the morning and came back late at night, fortunately Liu Lang was watching her." Mu also shook his head and smiled.

"What the two sisters-in-law said is that Cuihua of my family is also the same. When I asked her what she was doing, she said that she went out to play, and told me not to worry about her. She was right in front of her house and couldn't be lost. Haha! Playing with Qingxi, Xiaoyu, Xiaotao and the others, my temperament has become much calmer, not as frizzy as before." Mei's words were gentle and delicate, but in her words she also pampered her daughter.
