Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 209 Shepherd's Purse Shrimp Soup and Shepherd's Purse Cake

What's more, there are no fish farmers in Kao City, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to eat a live fish.She dug a pond to raise more, opened up an additional source of income for her family, and brought some good luck to the people.

Although she has the space for the ring and is full of confidence, even if her family is thrown into the desert, she will still be able to eat and drink without worrying about it.She has never taken money too seriously, but money is a thing that is too little, not too much.Besides, it was really troublesome to arrange for manpower to fill the wooden troughs at the foot of Shenshan every day last winter.After the pond is dug and filled with spiritual water, the big blacks on the mountain can come down to drink as they like, and they don't have to stick to the number of two barrels per day.This can also be regarded as a reward for the group of "beast guards" on the mountain, who devoted themselves to guarding their house for half a year.

Guo Huai brought eight or nine people, including Ah Da, Ah Er, etc., and stood with their trousers half-armed in the pit that had been dug more than one meter deep, vigorously swinging the pickaxe. His jacket was also slightly damp. Seeing the mistress coming, he hurriedly went ashore, put down his trousers, and saluted respectfully. Seeing how hard everyone was working so hard, Mu Ai told Guo Huai to let everyone use hot water when he returned home from work. The feet are hot, and the dinner should be made richer. In addition, each person adds a bowl of wine to drive away the cold.

Guo Huai led a few people to thank them, and said, "Madam has always treated everyone with kindness and kindness, and Madam also instructed me to do so when planting rice seedlings last year, so I have arranged this for the past few days."

Mu Ai nodded, discussed with him about spring sowing and land preparation, and then went back home with the vernal equinox.

Kexin had already picked and washed a basket of shepherd's purse, and kept her eyes on the second door. When she saw the lady came back, she ran forward with joy, and after saluting, she asked, "Ma'am, the shepherd's purse has been washed." , are you going to make some new dishes in a while?"

Mu Ai smiled slightly. Although this girl is the same mother and sister of Chun Equinox, she is completely opposite to the calm and reticent Chun Equinox. ran over to be a helper.

"You girl is moving fast. It's almost noon. Do whatever you want to do as usual. I'll add some soup and a pancake later."

After hearing this, Kexin immediately smiled brightly like a spring flower, and happily responded, then turned and ran into the small kitchen.

Mu Ai went into the inner room, changed her clothes, washed her hands, and went to the kitchen.Xiaoan and Dongzhi were helping inside, and when they saw her come in, they stood up and saluted.

Mu Ai waved her hand, looked at the delightful emerald green shepherd's purse in the wooden basin, grabbed more than thirty two-inch prawns from the space, and ordered the spring equinox to peel off the prawns and clean them up, then rolled up her sleeves and started Throw half of the shepherd's purse into the boiling water pot, briefly scald it, and squeeze it dry after soaking it in cold water.

I also found some dried mushrooms, washed them and blanched them with the hot water just now, and drained them. I held the whole piece of white and tender tofu in my hand, cut into squares the size of mahjong, diced fresh shrimp, minced ginger, and then put them all together. Put it in a large casserole, add water, put it on the stove, and cook it slowly over a low heat.

Then pinch off the roots of the remaining half of the shepherd's purse, finely chop it, mix it with eggs and fine noodles, stir vigorously to form a thin paste, and put it aside for later use.

The soup in the pot over there has been simmering for a quarter of an hour. Open the lid of the casserole and put the blanched shepherd's purse in until it boils again. Finally, add a little minced garlic to enhance the freshness.Signal the spring equinox to put the pot down on the chopping board with a thick cotton cloth. The casserole has a good heat preservation effect, and the soup inside continued to gurgle for a while before it completely calmed down.

The flat iron pan specially made a few days ago has been scrubbed clean and placed on the smallest stove eye. After it is boiled dry, sprinkle cold oil until it is eight minutes hot before scooping up a spoonful of batter and pouring it into the pan. Fry on low heat, and the fragrance will gradually spread.Kexin hurriedly took out the braised pork in the pot, and didn't bother to clean the pot. She came over in two or three steps, and watched Mu Ai flip the omelette with a light shake of the shovel, revealing the golden side, and was greedy. pursed his lips.

Mu Ai couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, I'll bake the ones for the main table, and I'll leave the rest to you. Your sister also knows how to make the batter."

Ke Xin blushed slightly, turned around with a smile and continued to divide the dishes into plates.Mu Ai branded ten sheets before stopping and handing them over to Kexin.After thinking about it, he took a knife and cut the cakes into triangles like pizza, stacking one on top of the other, forming two plates of lotus flowers, one big and one small.Then another bowl of soup was served, and it was put on the tray together with a small plate of lotus cake, indicating that the spring equinox could be sent to the ear room.

Mu Ai asked Dongzhi to take some soup and snacks to the west courtyard to honor the old lady, and then went back to the room to wash her hands and came out. Dongzhi and Xiaoan had already set the dinner table quickly, and the children smelled the fragrance before they even got to the door, and they were very happy ran in, chattering and asking, "What delicious food did Mom cook?"

Mu Ai hugged the youngest Xinger and sat on the chair, then said with a smile, "Mom just made shepherd's purse fresh shrimp soup and shepherd's purse omelet with the wild vegetables dug at the foot of the mountain. How do you taste it? This is the taste of spring."

Several children looked at the emerald and white soup and the golden crepes with hints of green on the table, and couldn't help clapping their hands with joy.

Mu Ai refused the service from the vernal equinox and summer solstice, and drove them to the kitchen to try the shepherd's purse pancakes, then served the children with soup and biscuits, and watched them eat happily, so she also ate two more .

With their chubby bellies, Simba and Cheng'er shouted that they would go digging vegetables tomorrow.Mu Ai was rewarded with a chestnut and knocked on the forehead, "Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts, you don't have to go to class if you go digging vegetables, do you? Two little lazy bastards, I have missed my homework today, and I will return tomorrow." There are new things to learn, so you have to work harder, why do you have to be lazy. You know, today’s affairs are completed today, and tomorrow will be tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow is so much!" The two naughty boys continued the next sentence in unison, somewhat disappointed, and pouted their small mouths in slight disappointment.

Dayu and Tao'er hurried forward and took them back to the room for an afternoon nap. Mu Ai nodded approvingly at them.He hugged the little daughter and talked for a while, leading her to sing the nursery rhyme learned today, and then lovingly carried her back to the room to take a nap.

After eating, I finally dismissed the children who had been humming all afternoon to sleep, and all the girls, big and small, went back to their rooms.Mu Ai changed into a neat black dress and practiced the flying needle for two hours, and then half leaned on Ouyang's shoulder that was too hard, eating grapes and chatting together.Since that drunkenness, Ouyang seemed to be a different person suddenly. Although he still looked indifferent during the day except for the occasional eye contact with her, but when the two of them were alone at night, they were much better.

In the past, he would only listen to her chatter, and he would not be questioned so much that he would never give a response.But now he would occasionally tell her a few words about the world. Although the language was still concise, it was very exciting to her ears.

In the past, if she hadn't been in danger or fell asleep, he would not have touched her, but when he returned to the yard the night before last, he held her hand resolutely and domineeringly, which made her heart beat like a drum, until she entered the house. I haven't closed my mouth yet.

However, she really likes him like this, likes his extremely strict teaching her to fly needles, likes how deep he looks at the sky when drinking, likes herself occasionally making trouble with him, the doting in his eyes, likes his deep voice...

However, she also has a very sensitive and meticulous daughter's heart, and she did not miss the occasional struggle and worry in his eyes.

I remember when she was about ten years old, she watched a martial arts TV series, which was very old.There is a beautiful woman who falls in love with the swordsman, abandons her family, and stays with the swordsman, washing and cooking for him, just like a wife, but the swordsman never pays attention to her.Later, one day the swordsman was about to fight a life-and-death battle with an enemy with strong martial arts skills. The woman sent the swordsman out, tears streaming down her face. The swordsman had already started to move, but suddenly turned around and kissed the woman fiercely, and then walked away without looking back. Yes, after that battle, the swordsman never came back.She was still young at that time and didn't understand love, but she cried very sadly with that woman.

After so many years, she still had a deep memory when she thought about it, so she thought, Ouyang might be the kind of swordsman, not because he doesn't love, but because he can't love or doesn't believe in love.

She had also guessed the reason why he was struggling like this, but she had no idea. Occasionally, she would design a character with a family with a wife and children, and the country's enemies and family hatred, and felt that she was too suspicious. It's a waste of a third-rate movie.

It would be great if I could call Ye Zi and talk about it now. However, I am afraid that the nympho girl will see stars in her eyes when she sees such a cold and handsome man like Ouyang, and she will say, "Handsome guy, give me a smile" One chant.

I just don't know how Ouyang will react, knock her out with a palm or fly away?Thinking wildly like this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, so the man behind her asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The chest under her ears trembled slightly because of the sound, which made her laugh even more, "I'm not laughing at anything, I just think the night is really good. Even the wind blowing on my face feels very warm."

The man shook his head, threw the last grape into his mouth, and swallowed it together with a rebuttal in his stomach.Even a flying needle can't shoot through the strange thing that this woman propped up. How could there be wind blowing on her face?
It's a pity that he knows that he can't say this. If she said it, she would blame him for not being romantic. He didn't know what this woman was talking about about romance. However, yesterday she was tired and he carried her back. She yelled these two words as she lay on top of him, presumably all the things she felt happy about were romance.

He lowered his head to look at the strands of blue hair scattered on his chest, reached out and gently picked them up and sniffed them. The faint fragrance of jasmine lingered in his nose, which made him hold his breath slightly, as if he wanted to keep the fragrance for a while longer. .
