Prosperity through farming

Chapter 89

"Squeeze out the juice?" Mr. Jun sat up straight, interested, "Let's hear it? If it can really replace meat oil, it's a great credit to you. The five private schools in Xiaotian Village are all troubled by the problem of oil."

"Really, after the olive tree bears fruit, in mid-October, you can pick the fruit to press the oil, but the fruit must be picked fresh from the tree, and it must not touch the soil on the ground, otherwise the oil will not be fragrant. On the contrary, there will be a strange smell, after you pick it up and wash it, you can squeeze it directly, the oil in it is very rich, sir, why don't you try to squeeze it out?" Xiaohan mumbled, "Yes. The oil can be used for stir-frying, and you can also fry fish steaks with pancakes..."

"Oh," Mr. Jun became curious, "I tried the stir-fried vegetables you mentioned, and they were indeed very refreshing. Those vegetarian dishes did not lose their original taste, and they were very good. I also fried pancakes. I gave them to your husband last time. For breakfast, he ate very much to his appetite, but that fried fish steak is a new dish, so how did you get it?"

Xiaohan curled her lips, "I won't tell you, if you don't get me olive oil, I won't tell you the dishes again, every time I tell you, you can always cook it, but I can't eat it, too loss."

"Who told you that your cultivation level is not good enough!" Although Mr. Jun said so, he was a little bit wrong.

Sure enough, Xiao Han immediately interjected, "But I came up with the recipe."

After saying this, Mr. Jun fell silent, "Okay, I will discuss with Patriarch Hu about grabbing olives from them—what will they use as fodder in the future?"

"You don't need to grab it," Xiaohan reacted. Indeed, if olives are important feed for the small animals of the Hu family, it would have too much impact if they were all snatched, and it would not be conducive to the harmony of the five surnames in Xiaotian Village. "I forgot to say, the olives are squeezed. It is better to use the residue after the oil to feed small animals, and it will save the small animals from indigestion, and there is no need for Hujiazhuang to suffer any losses."

"Oh, that's good," Mr. Jun nodded. "Then I can say it easily. I can even ask the Hu family to send people to help harvest olives and press oil."

"Let's try extracting oil from olives that are still growing on the tree first," Xiaohan said conservatively. "If it is really possible, give me more olive oil. At least this year's New Year's Day, it can make my mother more healthy." Make some food."

Mr. Jun is very confident about the recipes mentioned by Xiaohan—there are too many precedents. Every time Xiaohan thinks up an idea and asks her to experiment, she can always make delicious dishes according to the method she said. Come on, add the sea intestine seasoning from before, "Okay, you go to the school, I'm going to experiment."

"Okay, sir, I'll come back at noon, and I'll tell you how to make fried fish steaks." Xiaohan smiled slyly, thinking that she would get olive oil at noon, she was very excited, "Sir, don't forget to prepare a lot of fish." , if you prepare more prawns, you can also make fried prawn steaks.”

Noon came in Xiaohan's anticipation. At noon today, not only Lu Zesen and Xiaohan, but also Hanlu and Jingzhe walked towards the husband's yard under Xiaohan's signal.

Mr. Jun was talking to Mr. Zhang, holding a jade bottle in his hand.

"Huh? This kind of bottle with a space formation can hold a lot of things. What good things did Mr. Jun get?" Lu Zesen purely started from the perspective of refining weapons.

Xiaohan was very happy, "It should be vegetable oil, something that can replace meat oil. I have agreed with my husband. After I make it according to the method I said, I will give half of it."

Mr. Jun waved to Xiaohan very happily, "Come on, Xiaohan, this time you have contributed a lot. According to what you said, the olive oil squeezed out contains more aura than meat oil. If you use this instead As for meat oil, the benefit to practitioners is not at 01:30."

Xiaohan was also very happy, "It really came out? How much did you get, sir? What about my share?"

Mr. Jun took out three jade bottles from his storage bag, "Hey, this is for you, because this kind of oil has a relatively high aura content, although today with the help of several ancestors, all the olives on the mountain All the fruits on the tree were squeezed out, but they were distributed to the private schools of the five surnames by the ancestors, and more were collected into the private school warehouse, and will be distributed to each family in Xiaotian Village tomorrow, so that everyone There is vegetable oil that can be cooked for the children at home.”

Xiaohan raised her eyebrows and looked at Mr. Jun. It was obvious in what she said, did she have any deep meaning?

Mr. Jun smiled, "Come on, come with me to the kitchen and talk about how to make the fish steak and shrimp steak."

Obviously, there is another meaning in the words, and Mr. Jun doesn't want to say it in front of the eldest brother and the second brother.

"Okay." Xiaohan put away the three jade bottles, and put Mr. Jun's arm, "Sir, how much oil is in one jade bottle?"

"There is always five hundred catties, enough for your family to eat until the olives mature next year." Mr. Jun smiled, took her into the kitchen, and then explained to her, "Also, the olive oil used in the village is not counted. If you harvest more olive oil next year, you will sell it to other practice sects, and you will get [-]% of the profits. There is another one, because you have discovered olive oil, and your contribution to the village has already gained a large amount. Weight, although it doesn’t do you any good now, but when you grow up, whether it’s a village school task or going to our shop in the Tianyao Village market to buy things, there will be better discounts.”

"Okay, I know." Xiaohan nodded. Since it is not a benefit that can be obtained in recent years, it is good to know it. There is no need to talk about it. You must know that the two brothers do not have such benefits. Take If you go out and show off, it will affect the harmony of the family, "Let's try olive oil."

"By the way, how do you make the fish and shrimp steaks you mentioned? You see, I have prepared a lot of fish and shrimp." Mr. Jun pointed, and Xiaohan was startled. It's unnecessary, right?so much?

Two large pots with a diameter of one and a half meters, full of fish in the larger pot, and shrimp in the smaller pot, this is too...

Fortunately, all kitchen work can be done with magic, otherwise, if there are so many ingredients, how long will it take to eat them?

Xiaohan smiled and began to direct, "For fish, remove the head and skin, remove the bones, and cut into cubes of a relatively uniform size, just a little smaller than the average dish, and the thickness is best. Too much, otherwise some will be cooked and some will not be cooked when frying."

After she finished speaking, all the fish turned over in the basin, and then, a pile of square fish fillets flew up and were placed in a large pot on the table.

"Is there any wine? Rice wine, thyme juice, salt, monosodium glutamate, oh, it's the powder made from the sea intestines in the morning, I call it monosodium glutamate, these, mixed, can be used to marinate the fish." Xiaohan go on.

Mr. Jun nodded after hearing this, and lightly picked up his fingers. What she just said was mixed in a bowl, then poured into the pot, and stirred together with the fish. Acting on the ingredients stained with the sauce, the slight force of the impact makes the marinating process that would have taken hours to complete in 5 minutes.

"Ten eggs, um, beat evenly," Xiaohan continued, "after beating, add rice flour and mix it into a thicker egg slurry. Heat the oil, put the fish into the egg slurry and coat it evenly , fry in hot oil until the egg yolk is golden brown and the fish meat inside is fully cooked. Oh, yes, sir, you need to cook the sauce, sweet and sour, whatever vegetable juice you use or Make it with fruit juice, add some frozen resin to make the sauce a little thicker. After the fish fillet is fried, pour it on the fish fillet and it will be ready." Xiaohan pointed, "Huh? Why not fry it?"

Mr. Jun turned back with a smile, "Does the shrimp steak have to be fried at the end? If so, we should prepare the shrimp steak and fry them together at that time. Because even fish steaks cannot be fried all at once. , scored several times to blow up."

Xiaohan nodded, "That's right, anyway, the egg paste is the same when making shrimp steaks and fish steaks, and the frying method is the same, except that the marinade is different. For shrimp steaks, there are other methods. Be careful, after all, shrimp is One by one, if you want to line them up and immerse them in the egg slurry, and then get them out in chunks, it’s really not easy without spells.”

"Let's talk about how to make the shrimp steak." Mr. Jun has already moved the pot of shrimp in front of him.

"First remove the heads and shells of the shrimp, and remove the sausage on the back." Xiao Han instructed.

"Okay, what next?" Mr. Jun looked sideways at Xiaohan.

"Use wine, thyme juice, salt, monosodium glutamate, and a little minced passion fruit leaves to make a marinade, marinate them well, then straighten them individually, line them up, and if necessary, skewer them with thin bamboo sticks , into rows."

Although Xiaohan said so, under Mr. Jun's instructions, after being straightened, the shrimps were automatically arranged in rows, and they were tightly attached to each other, forming a row shape without any external objects to connect them.

Xiaohan is a little strange, can magic even do this?

The shrimp chops also began to roll in the egg mixture, and Mr. Jun said, "Don't be in a daze, tell me what the sauce for the shrimp chops should taste like?"

"Salty ones are fine, just remember to add MSG." Xiao Han looked at Mr. Jun, "Should we start frying?"

"Yes, I'm going to try to see which oil temperature is the best to fry it. You go out first, it will be ready soon." Mr. Jun waved his hand, and Xiaohan was gently placed outside the door.

"Xiao Han, what's the matter?" The three boys outside were talking with Mr. Zhang, they obviously had a lot to talk about, and when they saw her come out, they greeted her enthusiastically.

"Mr. Jun is already frying, and it will be ready to eat soon, hee," Xiaohan is also very happy. Although it is only fish and shrimp, it is a rare all-meat food. "I promise it will taste great!"

"It's rare for Xiaohan to buy such a full ticket," Han Lu laughed first, "It seems that there is something delicious again today."

Jing Zhe has already started to swallow her saliva.

Mr. Zhang is humorous, "Tsk, last night I ate the two dishes that Xiao Han paid for all the tickets. They were very delicious, unbelievably delicious, and I was really satisfied." Seeing that the eyes of the three boys turned When he came over, he continued, "It's a pity that you haven't reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and you can't eat meat. Tsk, those two meats are delicious, and the two methods of cooking have already been handed over to the village school. , it is said that when they tried the dishes this morning, the ancestors couldn't hold back and ate all the ones that were tested. Tsk tsk, the gods are really drooling!"

"Mr. Zhang." The three boys all stared at him. They knew that they couldn't eat yet, but they said it in such an itchy way. Really, they almost drool.

Then, a strong fragrance came from the kitchen, and Xiaohan moved the tip of his nose, "Well, it's starting to fry. It smells so good."

"Huh? This aroma," Mr. Zhang also began to look into the kitchen, "is it different from the aroma of the meat we ate last night, um, it must be delicious."

"It's coming soon," Xiaohan also looked in the direction of the kitchen, "It won't take too long to fry things, and it will be ready soon."

Sure enough, within 5 minutes of the aroma coming out, Mr. Jun came out with six large plates, and after putting them on the table, there was exactly one in front of each person.

This is the largest plate, one for each person. There are left and right sides on it, and there are different shapes of fish steaks and shrimp steaks, and the sauces on the two are also different in color, so that people will not mistake them for the same thing.

"Eat it, try it, frying is a very fast cooking method." Mr. Jun handed over a pair of chopsticks.

Before she could say a second sentence, the chopsticks were already flying.

Xiaohan took a bite of the fish fillet, and his eyebrows were already so beautiful, "It's delicious, crispy on the outside and tender in the inside, and the sweet and sour taste complements the umami taste of the fish fillet."

She was the only one who could talk nonsense, and the others were all absorbed in their work, without further ado.

As for the shrimp chops, when you bite down, under the crispy skin, the fresh shrimp with slightly elastic flesh, because of the savory and freshness of the sauce, brings out the slightly sweetness of the shrimp itself.

"Oh, um!" Jing Zhe ate so much that even a nasal sound of admiration came out.

The fish steak and shrimp steak on the plate quickly fell into the stomachs of several people, which was really delicious.

Within a quarter of an hour, the plates of several people were all emptied, but——

"Honey, it seems like I'm not full yet." Mr. Zhang was the first to raise an objection.

Indeed, fish and shrimp are not very filling ingredients. Although I ate a whole plate, I still don't feel full.

Mr. Jun looked at Xiaohan, "Do you want to cook again?"

"You can make pancakes." Xiaohan thought of the remaining ingredients in the kitchen.

"You tell me to do it." Mr. Jun looked at Xiaohan.

"Rice flour balls, add some water, don't be too much, rice balls are tough enough, peel and pierce the fish tails that were not used to make fish steaks just now, as long as the fish meat is chopped, mix in thyme juice, salt, and less sugar , add an egg white, mix it well, use it as a filling, wrap it in rice balls, flatten it, make it into a cake, and then fry it in oil, and when it’s fried, you can eat it.” Xiaohan thought for a while , "By the way, the size of the cake should be just enough for one hand to hold."

Mr. Jun nodded and went into the kitchen again.

The other four men were drooling just listening to Xiao Han's words, and now they were looking at the kitchen eagerly, looking forward to it.

Xiaohan couldn't understand, "Fried things are very filling, how come you are not full?"

"Aren't you also full?" Jing Zhe frowned at her.

Tsk, after she started talking about the recipe, these guys' appetites got bigger and bigger.When parents come back and find that their sons and daughters have become rice buckets, they don't know what to say.

In less than 10 minutes, Mr. Jun came out with another plate of pancakes stacked high, tsk, really fast.

Quickly, one per person, the soft and glutinous rice balls are crispy on the surface, but soft enough to sink your teeth into, plus every bite can bite into the tender fish filling, tsk tsk, look at the four men holding it in one hand Just by looking at one and almost snatching it up, you can tell how popular it is.

"Sir, I want a glass of vegetable juice." Xiaohan asked, if there is no juice, she can only eat one more, but with juice, she can eat at least three.

"Nuyi." A few vague requests, it seems that everyone wants to eat more.

As soon as Mr. Jun moved his hand, six large cups fell in front of everyone, which were full of juice squeezed from a fruit between lemon and hawthorn—it has the effect of promoting digestion.

Take the cake and bite it, chew hard, the delicious smell of the cake is really tempting, coupled with the fish flavor on the tip of the tongue, the softness of the rice noodles and the texture of the deep-fried skin Crisp, what a triple treat.

Xiaohan squinted his eyes intoxicated, exhaled the hot air in the pancake "sizzling", enjoying the double enjoyment of taste and teeth, it was so delicious.

After eating one cake, Xiao Han took a sip of the juice and looked at the plate, "Can I get a few for this afternoon? Bring it to Xiao Jin and the others to try."

Mr. Jun nodded. In terms of food, the adults in Xiaotian Village have never been stingy, "Yes, I will make more and bring it to you."

Han Lu scraped her cheeks with her fingers, and she was ashamed of her younger sister - she couldn't eat enough, so she wanted to take it away.

Xiao Han pouted, this is the recipe I came up with, it’s not too much to show off to your friends, right?Who told me that I can't make it by myself according to the recipe.

Mr. Zhang took the pancake, chewed it slowly, and began to drive the three boys away, "Okay, you should go back too, or you won't be able to find your opponent for the afternoon drill."

The three boys drank the juice in a few sips, grabbed another pancake, and left the husband's yard.

"I'm not afraid of being overwhelmed!" Xiaohan's eyes widened, and his stomach protruded from eating, so he still wants to take it?

"They will definitely put them in the storage bag and eat them after they are digested in the afternoon." Mr. Jun came out with another plate of pancakes, smiling, and glanced at Mr. Zhang, who was also puffed up, "Don't overeat. Score, anyway, you can make it anytime you like, and I have also researched it. The filling in this pancake, like wonton dumplings, can be changed at will, and you can put anything in it, as long as it is delicious."
