Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 52 Delicious Dinner

On the way home, the two sisters agreed that if Jing Niang asked, they would say that Xiaocao wanted to fish. You must know that Jing Niang never agreed with her to fish before.

"Mother, grandma, little Zhuzi, I'm back." The guy just arrived at the fence, looked at the busy yard, and yelled loudly.

"Xiaohua is back, yo...Xiaocao is also here, come in quickly, mother is ready to cook dinner, tonight your Brother Ronghua and Uncle Wang are having dinner at our house. You go and ask your Aunt Wang and Sister Meizi to come over for dinner together. "When Jing Niang saw her daughter came back, she casually instructed.Anyway, let's cook together today, let's just eat together. After ordering Xiaohua here, I went into the kitchen by myself.

"Xiaocao, go ask your mother and the others to come over for dinner, don't cook at home. I'll go talk to my mother about cooking." Xiaohua casually ordered Xiaocao.Xiaocao complied, gave the little basket to Xiaohua, and went home to call her mother.

Xiaohua first put the wooden basin into the kitchen, then went to the door, put the basket into the house, and went back to the kitchen to help her mother.Before entering the kitchen, I heard a voice from inside: "Cheng Xiaohua, you are not allowed to fish these? Are you disobedient?"

Xiao Hua curled her lips and went into the kitchen: "Mother, it's nothing. I promise it's absolutely fine, and it's very delicious. Have you forgotten that I was guided by a fairy? This is what the fairy told me, it's edible."

"Is it true? You can't lie to me, right?" Jing Niang looked suspicious.

"It's absolutely true. If you eat it, you'll die. How can I get it back? Are you right? Mother, just trust me." Seeing Jingniang still doubtful, Xiaohua acted like a baby.

"Okay, okay, don't act like a baby. It's just that mother doesn't know how to do this, so tell mother what to do?" Jingniang didn't know why, but she just took her own daughter for granted.Today I have to invite Wang Changgui and the others to dinner. If they come to help her repair the roof anyway, I still have to invite them for this meal.One more fish means one more dish, right?

"Okay, mother, you listen to me. You cook the rice first, and then handle the fish." Xiaohua looked at their house. There is no wooden barrel for cooking, and the rice is cooked directly in the pot. After cooking, the pot There will be a layer of crust left in it.This kind of rice is okay to eat, but the taste is not as good as wooden barrel rice, and it is easy to get angry.

Jing Niang stuffed the rice and listened to her daughter's instructions.First fish out the river prawns (I don’t know why, this river prawn is very big, in fact, Xiaohua is also very puzzled, it is reasonable that river prawns are generally relatively small, and some are transparent. When I was young, I saw other children eating them raw ), wash it, cut off the shrimp's whiskers, remove the shrimp legs, then cut the back of the shrimp, take out the sand gland (this is the stomach of the shrimp), and put it aside for later use.

Wash and kill the bighead carp. According to Xiaohua’s request, cut off the fish head, cut the fish mouth in half, connect the fish head to the back, and spread it evenly with salt. Since there is no monosodium glutamate, marinate it for five to 10 minutes. .Put some sliced ​​ginger on the bottom of the plate, then put the fish head on it, take the chili and chop it up, spread it on the fish head, then cut some shredded ginger and put it on the fish.

After it was over, Xiaohua always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it for a long time, it was soy sauce, but there must be no soy sauce in this era, so she asked Jing Niang if she had soy sauce. Jing Niang said that she didn't have it at home, so she had to borrow it.

Xiaohua asks Jingniang to clean up the small fish, so that they can be fried in oil or made into soup at night.Then after cutting the garlic and shallots, Xiaohua thought to herself: Fortunately, I took the onions, ginger and garlic from the village chief’s cousin’s house last time. At that time, I thought that the shallots would be bad if I couldn’t use them up, so I put them in the wooden basin filled with water. I didn't expect to survive, and it just came in handy right now.

I rushed to Xiaocao's house to borrow soy sauce. How can I do without soy sauce? It would be even better if there was light soy sauce.As soon as Xiaohua arrived at the door of Xiaocao's house, Xiaocao came out with her mother, sister and third brother. Xiaohua hurriedly asked Aunt Wang for some soy sauce, and then thought that the pots and bowls at home were better, so she was embarrassed to let Wang My aunt took it, and the few of them went to Xiaohua's house together.

Entering the yard, I saw Mrs. Ruan and Xiao Zhuzi in the yard, while Xiaocao's father and brother were still busy.Xiaocao's mother went to the kitchen, saying she was going to help.

Xiao Hua went into the kitchen and poured some soy sauce on it. At this time, the rice in the pot was just cooked. Jing Niang scooped up the rice and put it aside, cleaning the pot.Xiao Hua asked her mother to clean the pot, pour some water into the pot, bring to a boil, put a few long chopsticks on it, and put the bowl of fish head on it to steam, which takes about a quarter of an hour.After it comes out of the pan, sprinkle chopped green onion and minced garlic on the fish head, pour cooked oil (because there is no cooked oil, I put some oil in a bowl before that, and steam it together, just pour it in now, and then put it Steam in the pot for 2...3 minutes, it's done.

When the chopped pepper fish head was ready, the whole kitchen was filled with aroma, and the greedy Xiao Hua swallowed her saliva.

Next make the braised shrimp.The prawns have been cleaned, heat up the pan, crush the garlic, pour the oil, heat the oil, stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger slices in the pan until the fragrance of the garlic wafts out, pour the prawns down, and stir-fry together, at this time Xiao Hua thought It would be great if there was pepper, that would be the most delicious, spicy and very flavorful, but unfortunately there is no such thing now.Stir-fry until the shrimp turns red, fry the shrimp oil, then add salt and soy sauce, stir-fry for 1 minute, add water and simmer until the juice is collected.It's just that there is no MSG in this era, and there is no way to ask for so much, as long as it is delicious.

When the braised prawns came out of the pot, the people in the yard couldn't wait any longer, the smell had already flowed out of the yard, and Xiaocao's stomach was already growling with hunger, and he was just jumping over there. : "Xiaohua, when can you eat at your house? It smells so good. I'm almost starved to death, and my stomach is growling with hunger."

"I don't know, there are still a few dishes that I haven't cooked yet." Xiaohua is already very hungry at the moment, looking at the fish head with chopped pepper and braised shrimp in oil, she hasn't eaten for a long time, and she is already so hungry at the moment No no no.

"Mother, after cleaning your pot, heat it up, pour oil, more oil is needed, after the oil is hot, spread the cleaned small fish with salt, put it in the pot and fry it until it is fragrant and crispy, take it out, Drain the oil, pat the onion, ginger, and garlic, put it on, pour some soy sauce, shake it, and spread the seasoning evenly."

When the fried fish came out of the pan, Xiao Zhuzi had already rushed in: "Sister...Xiangxiang...Xiao Zhuzi is hungry." After speaking, she looked at Xiao Hua pitifully.

In fact, Xiao Hua is also very hungry, okay, but there is no other way, as there are guests at home, she can only bear it, otherwise she would have started eating secretly.

Jingniang didn't expect these things to be so delicious.Even Aunt Wang, who was lighting the fire in the kitchen, was surprised. Did Xiao Hua teach this dish?That little flower is too powerful, it's really fragrant, but I don't know how it tastes.

Jing Niang quickly fried a wild vegetable again, and was about to ask someone to boil the pot, but the rice was a bit cold at this time, so put the rice in the pot to heat it first, and when the other dishes were placed, the rice was already hot.Everyone looked at the sumptuous dinner, smelled the aroma, and swallowed.
