Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1449
The meal at noon can be said to be very rich. The aunt killed a chicken. The chicken was divided into two sides, half of which was used to burn taro, and the other half was used to stew soup.

In addition, I also fried fried meat with dried bamboo shoots, fried potato chips with vegetarian dishes, and fried fish.

The portions of these dishes are very large, and they don't pay much attention to the appearance, but the smell already makes people salivate. After everyone moved their chopsticks together, Xu Ruyue immediately tasted the fried pork with dried bamboo shoots. I haven't eaten this thing for a long time.

"Ma'am, these dried bamboo shoots are so delicious, did you dry them at home?"

The aunt smiled and said, "Yes, yes, our family doesn't have much land, and the old man and I can't grow too much. At such an age, there is no need to earn so much money. There is no son, so, After finishing the work in the field, when we are free, we will go to the bamboo mountain to chop some fresh bamboo shoots, take them back, cut them into slices and dry them, and when we want to eat, we will take them out and stir-fry the meat. It tastes really good."

"Although they are all bamboo shoots, but when they are fresh, they are used to stir-fry meat, and when they are dried and then used to stir-fry meat, the taste is completely different."

When the aunt said this, her face was full of complacency. It could be seen that she came up with this method by herself. At that time, there was no such thing as dried bamboo shoots on the market. Everyone ate fresh ones. do not eat.

The main reason is that many people don't know the delicacy of bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are a rare delicacy. Of course, it goes without saying, but if they are not handled properly, they will be bitter and astringent.

According to the general idea, if you cut it back from the mountain and cut it into slices, it should be fried in a pan. However, it is completely inedible after being fried in this way. It must be boiled first to remove the bitter taste.

Bamboo leaves are also added when cooking, which will also help remove the bitter taste, and the meat is fried in the pan at the end to restore the deliciousness.

Xu Ruyue still tasted a little bitter after eating the dried bamboo shoots, but it was much better than when it was fresh, so she guessed that people at this time still hadn't mastered the method of using bamboo leaves to remove the bitter taste.

Some of the taste is removed, just because the bamboo shoots are released during the drying process, not cooked.

Xu Ruyue ate with her head down, and smiled, "The taste of the bamboo shoots is really good. I remembered that my mother used to like to make this and eat it. At first, she didn't know how to eat it. It was bitter and astringent. Later, my mother thought of some ways. First boil the bamboo shoots to remove the taste, and then use them to fry the meat, so the bitter taste will disappear.”

When the aunt heard this, she blinked her eyes, "Is this method really useful? I just think it's too bitter to eat fresh, and I can't stand the taste, so I dried it. If it can be eaten like this, next time I will Try it."

"Useful, very useful." Xu Ruyue nodded.

This table of dishes really took a lot of thought. The food in the countryside is still not so good. Before in Yongning Village, ordinary farmers could not eat such a rich meal, let alone in Xinchuan, where it is only a few days. It's been a year since they settled down, and the common people are just filling their stomachs at most. Who can eat so much fish and meat?

Because they came, the old couple were happy, they killed chickens, fished, and even took out the meat to fry dried bamboo shoots.

When Xu Ruyue thought of this, she didn't know what it was like.

"Auntie, do every household in your place dry out these dried bamboo shoots?"

The aunt didn't know what she meant by asking this, so she smiled and said, "No, that is, our family posted this thing. I haven't heard of anyone else posting this thing. Everyone thinks this food is not delicious. There are a lot of dishes in it, enough for the family to eat, and no one has the idea of ​​using bamboo shoots."

"A few years ago, when the wars continued, many people ate them. At that time, it was hard to find bamboo shoots even in the mountains. But in those years, they really ate enough. Now that life is getting better, everyone is even less willing to eat bamboo shoots. have eaten."

The old man drank his wine and said with a smile, "Yeah, our old couple were tired of eating at the beginning, but when my elder brother went to the mountains, sometimes he would carry a basket on his back, and it was useless to leave it there. The old woman thought it was a pity." I thought about drying it in the sun, but I didn't expect the taste to be good."

Xu Ruyue thought for a while, "The taste of this food is really good. In the countryside, everyone is indeed tired of eating it, but have you ever thought that those big families in the city might be interested?"

As soon as she said this, the old couple looked at each other, and then looked at her puzzled, "Don't all rich families eat chicken, duck and fish, who still eats this?"

Xu Ruyue didn't know how to explain it immediately, so she smiled, "Old man, auntie, you will get tired of eating chicken, duck and fish. Who wouldn't want to eat something fresh? Wild vegetables are quite expensive in the city." Woolen cloth."

Speaking of this, the old man laughed, "I really don't know about this. My old man has stayed in the village all his life and never went out. Before the war, many people ran outside and I didn't leave. I have guarded my home all my life. I feel very good."

"Isn't this just for me to guard? Our court is capable, the general is capable, and drove the enemy away. The place of Xinchuan finally calmed down again, and the people lived a good life." Said. After finishing, the old man took a sip of wine in satisfaction, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Xu Ruyue put down her chopsticks and continued, "There's really no such dried bamboo shoots for sale in the city. I think it tastes good. If there are a lot of them, I might be able to sell them for money."

The aunt laughed, "Selling money, what kind of money is this selling? There are all over the mountains and plains, and they are worthless."

"Ma'am, you have to sell it if it's worth it or not. How many dried bamboo shoots do you have at home?" Xu Ruyue asked.

The aunt smiled and said, "It's not much, and I can't eat much of this. I can eat it once in the sun for a year. There is still a bag there. I guess it can weigh three or four catties."

"That's good." Xu Ruyue said directly, "You sell all these dried bamboo shoots to me, and I will pay you fifty Wen a catty to buy them from you. Isn't this selling money?"

The old couple understood and laughed, "Oh, girl, you're waiting for us here, just to give us money, don't you? It's really unnecessary. If you like this, you'll all be there when you leave later." Just bring it for you, we country people are simple, we can’t take other people’s money, you take it, aunt can live on, there is no need for this.”

Xu Ruyue had no choice but to explain patiently, "Auntie, this is not to stuff money for you, even the fortress is impossible for me to stuff like this, so I have to set a price of five taels of silver a catty, right? I said this to tell you that this Dried bamboo shoots can really be sold for money, don’t take it seriously.”
