The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 53

Fang Yumin ran home and asked the three children who were still picking soybeans: "Are the rabbits ready?"

"It's all good. Brother Xiaoping said he will go home first and come back later." Xiao Ming raised his head and looked at Fang Yumin carefully: "Mother, your face is so red. Hey, where is your hat?"

"The hat?" Fang Yumin rubbed her head, probably took it off when she was resting at the edge of the field, and she forgot to take it when she left in a hurry, but she said, "The wind blows it away."

"Ah? No wonder your face is so red, Mom." Fang Yumin couldn't help pinching his little cheek as Xiao Ming suddenly realized.

At this time, Dabao brought a bowl of water to Fang Yumin: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will weave you a hat in a while."

"Yes." Xiao Bao also nodded and said, "My brother is very good at knitting straw hats and making straw sandals."

"Really, then I will trouble Dabao."

"Brother Dabao, you want to weave a more beautiful one for your mother to wear." Xiao Ming quietly approached Dabao and asked softly, "Well, can you weave one for me?"

"Of course. I'll make it up for you when I'm done making it up."

"That's great, that's great." Xiao Ming clapped his hands and smiled, Xiao Bao looked up at them and also grinned.

Seeing that the three of them got along well, Fang Yumin was also relieved.I just hope that these children can always get along well, brothers and friends.

How much can there be after eight rabbits are skinned?Fang Yumin stared at the rabbit meat that had been chopped into pieces and placed in the wooden basin, and said sincerely: "It's so little!"

There are more people and less meat. Of course, the braised rabbit is not just rabbit meat. Fang Yumin is going to add carrots and dried shiitake mushrooms.

The shiitake mushrooms were picked by Xiaoyang and Xiaozhu at the foot of the mountain when they went hunting hogweed. Fang Yumin didn't like to eat fresh wild mushrooms very much. She thought they had a fishy smell, so she dried them on the stove Then it was strung up and hung above the stove.Although the preparation of this dried mushroom is a bit simple, I used a little bit of it to braise winter melon yesterday, and the taste is still good.After Fang Yumin ate, she planned to find a time for Lin Qiulai to lead a team up the mountain to hunt for treasure.

When Wang Xiaoyang and Wang Xiaozhu saw Fang Yumin coming into the kitchen, they stood beside her.They cleaned the bowls, pots, knives, and other utensils. Lin Xiaoping helped chop the rabbits.

Fang Yumin nodded in satisfaction. The two children did everything well, and they couldn't help asking affectionately, "Xiaoyang Xiaozhu, do you think it's difficult to kill rabbits?"

"It's not difficult, we've learned it all. Brother Xiaoping asked us to kill another one after teaching us today. He said we did a good job."

"Really? That's great. From now on, I'll leave this work to you." Fang Yumin said happily, and finally didn't have to bother Lin Xiaoping anymore.

"Xiaoyang, go to the backyard to pick potato seedlings. Remember to pick tender ones. Today we will fry potato seedlings to eat. Xiaozhu, come wash the rice and prepare for cooking."

"it is good."

Among the three wild pheasants, Fang Yumin picked two small ones and stewed them with black beans, which was for everyone's health.The whole family has been working hard recently, especially Lin Qiulai.One person has to do so much rough work.The other big one was put into the sauce and boiled for a while.

Since coming here, Fang Yumin has been particularly gluttonous, probably due to the lack of oil and water in her stomach.Now I have made some money, but the village is too far away from the market, and there is no refrigerator, and I can't often eat meat.This family doesn't even have bacon, alas.

The fish in the rice fields haven’t grown up yet, the little pigs are still cute and haven’t grown into big fat pigs, the chickens have lost their fluff and become ugly, but they are not enough to be slaughtered by the scales, and the baby rabbits are still in their mother’s stomach... ...Alas, Fang Yumin sighed again.

This braised rabbit meat recipe will be sold to restaurants in the future, and Fang Yumin spent a lot of effort in preparing it.Rabbits eat grass, and its meat itself has a grassy smell. Fang Yumin first soaked it in water, then boiled it, then controlled the water before marinating it with wine, spices and seasonings for half an hour, waiting for the meat to taste.

Taking advantage of this time, cut the carrots into pieces, soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in water and tear them apart for later use.Fang Yumin also cut a large pot of shredded potatoes.

Braised rabbit meat is the main dish for dinner today, followed by chicken and dried tofu.Then make a pot of hot and sour potato shreds that are suitable for all ages, stir-fried sweet potato seedlings with garlic, cucumbers, and homemade spicy kimchi.Add a little sauerkraut and pork offal, and it will be very rich.It is estimated that after such a meal, it will take a long time to eat such a good dish again.

Speaking of pig offal, it is now monopolized by Cheong Kee and cannot be bought as easily as before.Ever since Cheong Kee bought Fang Yumin's Hot and Sour Rice Noodle recipe, the business has been booming, and there are long queues of people waiting to eat at the store every day.

Originally, both Zhuji and Changji were century-old noodle shops, and their business volume was about the same, but because of the hot and sour noodles, Zhuji was far behind Changji.However, Zhuji is not as simple as Cheong Kee, which only deals in noodle business. Zhuji also has two restaurants.They are all in the city center of Dongshi, and the business is pretty good.

Fang Yumin originally wanted to sell the recipe of hot and sour noodles to Zhuji, because the waiters and chefs in Zhuji were very young, so she thought it would be more acceptable to sell her hot and sour noodles to such a store.But seeing that Zhuji also opened a restaurant, after careful consideration, he went to talk to Changji first.

The biggest factor is that Zhuji also opened a restaurant.If Zhuji is the largest customer of the sweet potato flour and rabbits sold by the company in the future, the risk will be great.In order to keep this big customer, Zhuji wants to lower the price, increase or reduce the supply, then he has no leverage at all.

"Xiao Ming, you and Xiao Bao continue picking beans, Da Bao comes in and helps me light the fire."

Dabao hurriedly shouted: "Okay, come right away."

One stove, Wang Xiaozhu, was cooking rice, while the other stove, Wang Dabao, was helping to stir-fry rabbit meat.

When the iron pan was heated up, Fang Yumin added oil and sautéed chili peppers and ginger and shallots. Because the rabbit meat was tender and did not have much fat, Fang Yumin even picked out a piece of lard and sautéed it together.

Soon, a seductive aroma rose from the kitchen, and with the steaming heat, it floated out of the kitchen.

Wang Xiaozhu and Wang Dabao sniffed their noses and swallowed their saliva fiercely while burning the fire, and saw their Aunt Xiaolian take out some powder from a row of small pots on the stove from time to time and put it down, and put it down again, and then put it down again. It's a quick stir-fry. After adding it again and again, the fragrance becomes more and more intense. It makes my mouth water when I smell it.

"It smells so good, mother, is this the smell of braised rabbit meat?" Xiao Ming and Xiao Bao ran into the kitchen to watch after the smell.

"Hmm, are you hungry? Is your saliva drooling?" Fang Yumin intentionally stir-fried the soup to a larger extent, and when the soup hit the hot pot, another aroma rose.

The four children sniffed again.They said in unison: "Greedy! It's all coming out!"

"Hahaha, it's useless to be greedy, the meat is not cooked yet. Hold on!" Fang Yumin put down the dried carrots and dried shiitake mushrooms, and added a little soy sauce to stir-fry for a while.Add water to cover the pot and simmer over low heat.

Once the main course is cooked, the rest of the dishes will be ready in no time.Fang Yumin said to Xiao Ming: "Xiao Ming, you take Xiao Bao to the field and ask your father to come back for dinner. When you come back, go and call Brother Xiaoping. You can eat soon."

"Okay. I'll go right away." Xiao Ming responded and ran out, Xiao Bao hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "Xiao Ming, wait a minute, put on a hat, the sun is very bright."

Fang Yumin immediately yelled: "Listen, two little ones, you are not allowed to go out without a straw hat!"

"Know it!"

When Lin Qiulai came back and Lin Xiaoping also arrived, the food was already on the table.With the help of three children, Fang Yumin quickly prepared all the dishes.

Because the chicken soup was reserved for the family, Fang Yumin cooked a dried vegetable soup with the pork bone soup that was always prepared at home. The dried vegetable soup quenched the heat and quenched thirst. Fang Yumin also added carrots to add sweetness to the soup.It was already ready at this time.

"Xiaoping, you are welcome, sit down. Come, everyone sit down and eat. Qiulai, the rabbit meat is still hot on the stove, you go and serve it out."

"it is good."

As soon as the lid of the casserole was opened, the smell of meat wafted out with the steaming steam. Everyone couldn't help taking a deep breath and smelling: "It's so delicious!"

This nest of braised rabbit meat is not bad, the meat color is red and the sauce is red and oily, and the soup is just right, not too much and it looks thin, and it is not too little and it looks dry.It looks very appetizing.

"Come on, everyone, let's try it and see if it tastes good?" Fang Yumin hurriedly greeted everyone, took a spoonful and put it in Xiaoping's sea bowl, "Xiaoping, don't be too polite, just treat it as eating at your own home."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Lin Xiaoping swallowed, picked up a piece of rabbit meat, put it in his mouth, covered his mouth and praised: "It's delicious, Aunt Xiaolian is really amazing."

"That's right, no one can compare to your aunt's cooking." Lin Qiulai smiled proudly, quickly put a piece into his mouth, and gave Fang Yumin a thumbs up while eating.

Fang Yumin had already tasted it with three children when she made it, and it was delicious.The rabbit meat is so tender and smooth.Because it is pre-marinated, those spices and seasonings have penetrated into the meat, and the texture and taste are multi-layered.

However, compared with the one she ate in the modern restaurant, the braised rabbit meat made by Fang Yumin this time tasted a little weaker, probably because of the seasoning.It is probably because the restaurant will use oil before making it, and the oil used when frying is also very heavy.But Fang Yumin still felt that if it was a home-cooked dish, it would be good to do so.But if it is a restaurant, she will remember to remind you to put more oil.

Fang Yumin asked Lin Xiaoping while picking out rabbit meat for the children: "Xiaoping, which restaurant in Nantou County did you usually sell rabbits to?"

"Zhuji. In fact, most hunters sell prey to Zhuji. His family's stewed soup is very famous. And Zhuji's noodles are also good. I heard that the soup is very sweet and delicious. Everyone is looking for his family. Soup to eat noodles."

"Is that so? How many rabbits would you sell to Zhuji in a month?"

"Not many, maybe seven or eight, not as many as I sold to your family this time. In fact, hunters don't like to catch rabbits, because they are too cheap, and they are not as easy to sell as pheasants. Rabbits themselves don't have much fat, and There is not much meat, even if it is caught, it will be stewed and eaten at home, and it can't be sold for much money."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Fang Yumin smiled with satisfaction, so her family has a lot to do with raising rabbits.

Everyone was satisfied with the meal, and Lin Qiulai used the big pot of braised rabbit meat to the point where even the last bit of soup was used for bibimbap.

Lin Xiaoping wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "No wonder Ah Sheng and Ah Qing always praise Aunt Xiaolian for the delicious dishes you cook. This time, they tasted even better than those made by the restaurant."

"Hey, Xiaoping, you really can talk, how can what I do compare to a big restaurant?" Fang Yumin said modestly.

"It's really better than what they make. I haven't seen this dish in Zhuji, and this braised rabbit meat. My mother has also made it, but the rabbit meat tastes dry, and it's delicious." It has a fishy smell and is not tasty at all. Every time I go to Zhuji to deliver the prey, the steward there always has to chatter a few words. Make stew."

"That's it." Fang Yumin smiled even more when she heard that, it seemed that she was going in the right direction.

"Yes."

"Xiaoping, thank you. It's a pity that we don't grow watermelon at home, otherwise it would be nice to have watermelon now."

"Aunt Xiaolian, the watermelons we grow here are not sweet. Now the peaches and pears are beginning to ripen in the wild mountain Minoru. Next time I go up the mountain to pick some and come back for you to eat."

"Really? Then I will take the children up the mountain to pick them someday." Fang Yumin said pleasantly.

"Hehe, usually at this time, the wild monkeys in the village have already gone up the mountain, but this year they have to help make sweet potato flour at home. It's a good time for you to go up the mountain. It must be a big harvest." Lin Xiaoping said with a smile. He was ordered to stay at home to make sweet potato flour, and he didn't have to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits. Every day, he watched helplessly as he followed his father up the mountain.

Fang Yumin and the five children's eyes sparkled when they heard this, and Xiao Ming was already rubbing against Fang Yumin and muttering in her ear: "Mom, let's go tomorrow."

Fang Yumin also happened to have this intention, so she said to Lin Qiu: "Why don't we go up the mountain tomorrow? You can also take a rest. The so-called longevity work is a long life, we have to take it easy."

"Okay, Xiao Min, let's go if you say so." Lin Qiulai nodded with a smile, "Dig a trap when you go up the mountain, and see if any stupid rabbits fall down when you go down the mountain?"

The children all laughed when they heard this, and Xiao Ming said to Lin Qiu while giggling, "Don't worry, Daddy, there will definitely be. Then we will catch the stupid rabbit and cook it in braise."

Everyone laughed again after hearing this, Fang Yumin tapped Xiao Ming's forehead and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you not full?"

"I'm full," Xiao Ming rubbed his stomach, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can touch it."

Fang Yumin really touched it, and said with a frowning face while touching it: "Oh, how good is this? Xiao Ming's belly is almost comparable to the rabbit that is pregnant with a baby in the cage."

Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this.

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "I'll weave two smaller baskets for Xiao Ming and Xiao Bao to carry tomorrow. The ones at home are too big."

Fang Yumin nodded and said, "Okay. Xiaoyang, I'll leave this job to you. I have to prepare some dry food for going up the mountain tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoping said at this time: "My mother always asked us to bring corn bread pickles and sweet potatoes."

After hearing this, Lin Qiulai said, "Bring pancakes, Xiao Min, the scallion pancakes you made are delicious. I can eat five pancakes in one sitting."

Xiao Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, mother, I want to eat scallion pancakes."

The other children didn't dare to ask like Xiao Ming, but they swallowed and nodded at the same time.

"Do you have the nerve to say that?" Fang Yumin said angrily, "I made my arms sore from searing last time, but you guys are better off. You can eat one piece of paper, and it will all go into your stomach within two strokes. How much searing is needed to fill it up?" Your bottomless pit? No, bring sweet potatoes up the mountain tomorrow, then light a fire and simmer, it will be delicious."

"Oh~" Lin Qiulai and Xiaoming and his son cried out in disappointment at the same time, and the four children were also wilted, Fang Yumin couldn't help but turn her head to secretly laugh.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiaoping said goodbye and went home.Because Lin Xiaoping came to eat at home today, and because he planned to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits tomorrow, the soybean planting was suspended this evening.

Fang Yumin asked Xiaoming to take Xiaoyang to Aunt Chunhua's house to deliver braised rabbit meat, and she went to the vegetable garden to water and tidy up.Lin Qiulai also picked up buckets to fetch water from the river, and chopped more firewood.

Dabao continued to weave straw hats, Aunt Xiaolian just blew away one today, so I have to make another as soon as possible for tomorrow when I go up the mountain.Xiao Zhu and Xiao Bao went to cook pig food, and the other went to the backyard to feed rabbits, chickens and cows...

The two puppies are running around happily in the yard, sometimes barking a few times, even when the little master is away, they will patrol from time to time.

At dusk, the golden afterglow shines on the farmyard. From time to time, Fang Yumin's anxious roar, Lin Qiulai's gentle voice, and the children's laughter are all indescribably detailed and warm.
