Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 53 Braised Vegetables
In fact, Yun Yiyi is also greedy. She hasn't eaten braised vegetables for a long time. In the past, there were many people selling braised vegetables in the snack street. There were all kinds of vegetables, and they cost tens of yuan a catty. She filled a bowl, and it only cost more than ten yuan. , can eat all afternoon.

Now Yun Yiyi misses that slightly spicy taste very much.

She bought some vegetables in the county seat today, and bought some of all kinds. Unfortunately, it was only those dishes, so she took some more out of her backpack.

The most important thing to do stewed vegetables is the practice of marinade.Yun Yiyi used to make stewed vegetables by herself, but they all bought marinade bags in the supermarket, just put the marinade in the pot, and then add some water to heat it.But she rummaged through her backpack and couldn't find a ready-made marinade bag, so she had to make marinade by herself.

She took out two pork ribs from her backpack and boiled them in water, skimmed off the blood foam, washed them with clean water, added fresh water, put in green onions, and continued to cook the soup.

On the other stove, she had already set up a pot, put down the oil and started to fry the sugar. When the dense white sugar gradually turned into large yellow bubbles, she began to stir fry quickly. When the yellow color turned dark brown, and the big bubbles turned into small bubbles, then Add a little water to fry off the paste smell. At this time, the sugar water in the pot is golden in color and extremely sweet.

She put the fried sugar into the soup pot and cooked it together.

Then various spices were added. There are many types of spices, including star anise, bay leaves, tangerine peel, cinnamon bark, peppercorns, and chili peppers.

Then she poured in soy sauce, salt and green onions and so on.

The marinade still needs to be cooked for a while, and Yun Yiyi only started to process the dishes at this time.

She bought cabbage, dried tofu, bamboo shoots, and vermicelli in the county.I took out some shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and fungus from my backpack.

Fungi are everywhere in this era, but some mushrooms are poisonous. Many people can't tell the difference between poisonous mushrooms and non-toxic mushrooms, so few people will take the risk of picking mushrooms.

These vegetables are easy to clean. After washing, Yun Yiyi cuts the vegetables that need to be cut into small pieces, and then puts them in a basin for later use.Only cleaning the shiitake mushrooms is a bit more troublesome. The chubby shiitake mushrooms are like umbrellas, and the handles of the umbrellas are covered with mud, which cannot be cleaned all at once.She soaked the shiitake mushrooms for a while, and then washed them when they swelled, and it was much easier to clean.Then I cut off the dirty parts with a knife, and poured the shiitake mushrooms into the basin.

There are also meat dishes. There are few vegetarian dishes in her backpack, but a lot of meat. The fat sausage that was not finished before is also used as stewed vegetables.

After the brine in the pot was boiled, a strong aroma wafted away, Yun Yiyi put all the vegetables in at once, and then pressed them with chopsticks to let the brine overflow all the vegetables.

Vegetarian dishes are easy to cook, and she cut them into small pieces. Even so, Yun Yiyi continued to cook the vegetables for a while after they were cooked to ensure that she could fully taste them.

Feeling that it was almost time, she picked up a piece of fungus and tasted it. The slightly spicy and delicious taste spread on the tip of her tongue, which showed that her stewed vegetables were prepared successfully.

Yun Yiyi found a few bowls, put the stewed vegetables into several bowls, and then prepared the braised pork.

Meat and vegetarian dishes can't be mixed together, otherwise the taste will be mixed, which is why she didn't put all the vegetables in the pot just now.Now at least the vegetarian dishes can be guaranteed not to be polluted.Now it is unrealistic to ask her to cook a new marinade, after all, it takes time and materials.

Afraid that the soup would be bland, Yun Yiyi added some soy sauce and salt to it, then poured all the cut meat into the pot and covered the pot.

It takes longer to cook the meat, Yun Yiyi added some more firewood to the stove, and took out the stewed vegetarian dishes.

The two cubs had already smelled the scent, especially Yan Dashuang. He even took a few peeks on the way, but Yun Yiyi told him not to steal it, so he dared not do anything.

Seeing this big dish at the moment, I couldn't wait to pick up a fat shiitake mushroom.

The stewed vegetables are a bit spicy, but not very spicy, more salty.

Yan Dashuang chewed until his cheeks bulged, "It's a good time." He said vaguely, and added: "Crispy, soft."

This is a new vocabulary that Yan Dashuang learned recently, and he remembered it by accident when Yun Yiyi taught them.

In the past, Yan Dashuang could only talk about delicious food, no matter what kind of food, he only said it was delicious, and now he knows how to describe it.

There was a smile on the corner of Yun Yiyi's mouth, and she said dotingly: "Then you can eat more, but just try something new, don't eat too much, there will be meat later."

When Yan Dashuang heard that there was meat, he slowed down his eating speed and began to chew and swallow slowly.

Yan Xiaoshuang picked up a small cabbage and ate it. His mother said that eating vegetables can grow taller, and he still remembers it.

To say that Yan Dashuang's taste is actually a bit similar to Yun Yiyi's, she likes to eat mushrooms and vermicelli, and Yan Dashuang also likes them, especially shiitake mushrooms.

In fact, Yan Dashuang just thinks that shiitake mushrooms taste like meat.

Vegetables are not hungry, after eating for a while, Yun Yiyi heard the sound in the pot, so she lifted the lid of the pot to have a look.

The pork in the pot has become smaller, and the meat is covered with a layer of golden yellow, which seems to be almost done.

She picked up a few smaller pieces of lean meat, pig ears and fat intestines, and made a dip with sesame oil, chili, and soy sauce.

Yan Dashuang ate fat intestines last time, and he really likes the taste. When he saw the big pot of meat, he immediately picked up fat intestines.

The stewed sausage is more crispy. Due to the long cooking time, the marinade has soaked into the meat, which is not only chewy, but also very fragrant.

Yan Dashuang liked to eat so much that his eyes narrowed slightly, and he had no time to talk.

Yan Xiaoshuang prefers the crispy and crispy taste of pig ears. He eats slowly, as if he is afraid of spicy food. After eating a few pieces of stewed vegetables, he takes another sip of boiled water.

There is no steamed rice at noon, they eat a lot of stewed vegetables, and they are almost full, and they probably won't be able to eat much in the evening.

Yun Yiyi went to cook a pot of porridge, planning to eat it with stewed vegetables at night.

After eating, she walked slowly to the back to look at her land. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she saw a piece of green.

Since it rained, Yun Yiyi didn't take care of her land for several days, but now that she looked carefully, there were small seedlings popping up everywhere.

The soil and environment of the Great Zhou Kingdom are still very suitable for planting plants. Although she doesn't know what kind of seeds these are, she will understand when they bear fruit next year.

These seeds grow so fast, perhaps because of the rain, do they like water?

Then she will water more in the future.

These green seedlings gave her enough self-confidence. If she really planted all of them, she would have her own vegetable garden in the future. This feeling is really good.

Yun Yiyi got rid of the weeds around her and admired the plants that had grown before returning home.

She took out three oranges and cut them into slices. After sharing the food with the two cubs, she began to tell them new stories.

There are dozens of stories drawn in the album, and the two cubs have a good absorption ability, especially Yan Xiaoshuang, who can now recognize a lot of words.

Yun Yiyi knew that he would sometimes secretly practice writing, but she never taught him strokes. The characters he wrote were all crooked and uncoordinated, like earthworms climbing trees.

Yan Xiaoshuang knew it himself, so he crumpled up the written paper and hid it everywhere in an attempt to destroy the corpse. Last time, Yun Yiyi found a piece of paper in his shoe.

She didn't expose him either, and let him practice by himself.

In Yun Yiyi's opinion, Yan Xiaoshuang is still young and not the best time to learn to write. Writing is a boring process. Now she just wants to lay a good foundation for them. If they want to learn in the future, they will have better teachers. teach.After all, traditional characters are really not her specialty.

If she teaches him to write now, Yan Xiaoshuang may find it interesting at first, but after a long time, he will not be able to stick to it.The important thing is that Yun Yiyi hopes to treat the two brothers as fairly as possible, and Yan Dashuang is obviously unwilling to learn to write.

But Yun Yiyi didn't limit their hobbies, seeing that there wasn't enough paper, she bought a lot of paper, pens and ink.

Yan Xiaoshuang likes to study in secret, since he has all the materials anyway, it's up to him how much he can learn.

The next day, Yun Yiyi sorted out all the albums, and took them to the bookstore in the town.

Chen Si seemed to have known that she was coming, so he invited her in very enthusiastically, and even gave her a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

These are all Ji Xun's orders, Yun Yiyi wanted to refuse, but after thinking about the fact that there are still two paper-free cubs at home, she accepted it.

Although the ink, paper and inkstone were expensive, it was nothing compared to the 200 taels Ji Xun gave her.

They are partners now, so Ji Xun will treat her warmly.

Yun Yiyi came to town today not only to deliver a picture album, she also had one other thing.

There is a blacksmith shop in the town, and it often helps people around to forge iron pans and kitchen knives.

Yun Yiyi also wanted him to help with packing this time.

Iron is not cheap in this day and age, and what she needs to make needs a lot of iron, so it won't be able to be made in a short time.

The blacksmiths were a father and daughter, the father was named Niu Da, who was extremely strong, and his daughter was named Niu Er, who looked like he was carved out of the same mold as his father.

She was a head taller than Yun Yiyi, and was hitting a kitchen knife. When she saw someone, she said angrily, "What do you want to hit?"

Yun Yiyi opened her mouth and described it, "Can you make an arch, that is, steel pipes, each of which must be the same size, and it can be erected."

Niu Er didn't understand.

She raised her head and looked at Yun Yiyi, her eyes were extremely confused.He has a rough and mighty appearance, but his eyes are as innocent as a child's.

This combination looks a bit strange.

Suddenly she yelled inside: "Father, there is a big deal."

Someone inside also replied loudly: "Here we come."

I don't know if it was Yun Yiyi's illusion, but she felt the ground tremble.

When Niu Da came out from inside, Yun Yiyi described it again, and took out the drawings he had drawn before.

The pattern is not complicated, and it looks very simple, but I just don't know what it is.

Dozens of the same long objects are placed horizontally on the top, and dozens of long objects are inserted vertically on the ground to support it.

What is this?
