The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 70

For salted fish or dried fish dishes, Fang Yumin only cooks fish-flavored eggplant stew and steamed dried fish with shredded ginger and peanuts.After racking her brains for a day, she only thought of salted fish patties and claypot rice with salted fish and bacon.

But as Xiaoyang said, if you want to sell these dried fish at a good price, you have to think of one or two delicious dishes to sell these ten kilograms of dried fish.Fang Yumin patted his head, wouldn't claypot dishes seasoned with salted fish count?
This afternoon, Fang Yumin decided to make all the dried fish dishes that she knew how to make and just thought of for her family to taste, and then picked out a delicious one as a marketable dried fish dish.

Fang Yumin went into the kitchen to make new dishes, and the two younger ones naturally followed in to help her.After the preparations were done, Fang Yumin said to Xiaoyang: "Xiaoyang, go pick a fat rabbit and slaughter it, then cut the meat into cubes."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiaoyang has already done a good job of slaughtering rabbits, and the rabbit skins are completely intact, so Lin Xiaoping's father will help him make tanned skins.

"Xiao Ming, go and buy some soft tofu."

"Yes." Xiao Ming also took the small wooden basin and walked away quickly.

What Fang Yumin will focus on today is salted fish and rabbit diced tofu stew.Originally, she thought of salted fish, chicken and tofu stew, but there were more and more rabbits in Fang Yumin's family, so she thought about selling the rabbits to the shopkeeper Jin, so that the customers were not only from Zhuji Restaurant.Moreover, the rabbit meat has a light taste and is very tender, and it is easier to integrate the salty aroma of dried fish than chicken.In any case, Fang Yumin felt that he should give it a try.

Picking a salted fish weighing two catties, Fang Yumin only cut off the thick fleshy part in the middle.After washing, marinate with rice wine for a while before putting it in a steamer to cook. Then remove the bone and only take out the fish and cut it into cubes for later use.As for the salted fish heads and fish bones, they will not be wasted, Fang Yumin has their own uses.

Cut the rabbit meat into cubes, blanch in water to remove the blood foam, and pick it up, because salted fish is used for seasoning, so there is no need to add salt at all.Fang Yumin only sprinkled a little five-spice powder and sugar to marinate the rabbit meat.Soft tofu is also diced and set aside.

Heat up a small casserole, pour in soybean oil and a little lard and sauté ginger slices, garlic and chili until fragrant, then add diced salted fish and fry until fragrant, then add marinated rabbit meat and stir fry quickly.When the meat is slightly browned, pour in rice wine, a little soy sauce, and then add water to boil.Then put scallions and soft tofu.

When all the ingredients were boiling, Fang Yumin turned off the heat and took the small casserole aside, letting the tofu and rabbit meat soak in the soup to absorb its essence.When it's time to eat, return to the pot to cook, thicken with a little corn flour to collect the soup inside, and you're done.

This dish is not difficult to make, as long as you master the heat and don't overcook the rabbit meat.Of course, the soup soaking procedure is also very important. Only in this way can the bland rabbit meat and tofu absorb the salty aroma brought by the salted fish and ensure a tender and smooth taste.

The salted fish and rabbit diced tofu stew is ready for the time being, and Fang Yumin is busy making other dishes.Salted fish patties, fish-flavored eggplant, fried cabbage with salted fish, double fish (salted fish head and fresh fish) stewed white radish soup.

The whole kitchen is filled with mouth-watering and alluring aromas, even blowing out with the wind.Whether it was Xiao Ming who was lighting the fire and cooking, or Xiao Yang who was helping Fang Yumin, they couldn't help but suck their noses and swallow their saliva.

"It smells so good, I don't know what delicious food Xiao Min makes at home?" Lin Qiulai, who had gone to the rice fields to feed the fish and returned home, smelled a strong salty smell coming from the chimney at home, and couldn't help but Quickened the pace.

As soon as the door was opened, Lin Qiulai went straight to the kitchen.I saw that Xiaoyang and Xiaoming were already walking around the stove, but they didn't dare to steal food.Now there is another Lin Qiulai who is also looking at the dishes eagerly and sniffing hard.

The food is almost ready, and everyone is about to set up the table to eat happily.At this time, Taohua and Xiaohua's crisp voices came from outside the door: "Third Uncle? Is Third Aunt at home?"

"Yes, come in." Fang Yumin raised his voice towards the door.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the yard, Fang Yumin came out and saw Xiaohua coming in with a bundle of grass on his back, Taohua was also holding a basket in his hand, there were grass and wild vegetables in the basket.

Xiaohua put down the grass on his back and said, "Third Aunt, the grass is getting less and less now, this bundle of grass is for your rabbits to eat."

Since Xiaoyang and Xiaoming didn't go to grass, Xiaohua and Taohua would send some to Fang Yumin every time they went to grass.After saying no need many times, they still deliver it every day. Although there are not many, it is the child's wish.

"You don't need to give them away next time, your rabbits have increased too." Fang Yumin looked at the thin clothes of the two children with heartache.The weather is getting colder, and she is reluctant to let Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang go to grass.But these two children not only went to cut grass, but also counted them.

"It can only be sent for a few days, and a lot of grass has withered." Xiaohua smiled, showing uneven teeth.

"You guys stay for dinner today. The third aunt just made a few new dishes, and you are lucky. Xiaohua, you go back and tell your mother." Fang Yumin said, "Hurry up and come back."

Xiaohua was a little embarrassed, but actually smelled the fragrance at the door.Just now he was still hesitating whether to come in or not. It is always bad to go to someone else's house for dinner, but he walked to the door of the house and finally came in.

"Hurry up, we're waiting for you to come back for dinner, hurry up. We're all hungry." Fang Yumin urged again, Xiaohua smiled and ran home in embarrassment and joy.Taohua is younger, sniffing, with a joyful smile on her face.

When Xiaohua came back, Fang Yumin boiled the salted fish, rabbit diced tofu stew that had been soaking for a while.Spoon it with a little corn flour to collect the juice, and then the whole casserole is served.

Everyone was very satisfied with this meal, especially the diced rabbit tofu stew, which was very delicious.Put a spoonful of rabbit diced tofu into your mouth. It has the tenderness of rabbit meat tofu and the aroma of salted fish. It tastes even more appetizing with the addition of chili. It is the best to serve with rice.Everyone unanimously appreciated this and had a round belly.Lin Qiulai even wiped off the soup that was stained with the casserole with rice, and there was no residue left.

"Is it delicious?" Fang Yumin also ate two bowls of rice and two bowls of soup tonight, and couldn't even sit still.

"Delicious." Everyone said in unison.

Xiao Ming touched his stomach and said to Fang Yumin: "Mom, do you want to make it tomorrow? It's really delicious."

"I won't do it tomorrow, I will do it in two days. Then I will ask your second uncle and aunt to come over to eat."

"it is good."

After another conversation, Xiaohua and Taohua said goodbye and went home.Fang Yumin went to the kitchen and handed over the fish-flavored eggplant stew that had been served long ago to Xiaohua for him to take back.

When Xiao Yang and Xiao Ming entered the room to study, Fang Yumin said to Lin Qiu who was making small wooden barrels: "Qiu Lai, let's go to Nantou County tomorrow to find shopkeeper Jin."

Lin Qiulai raised his head and responded, "Okay. Do you want to take Xiaoyang and Xiaoming with you?"

"Yes. Xiaoyang is not here, who will kill the rabbit?" Fang Yumin rolled his eyes skyward.

"Hehe, yes." Lin Qiulai scratched his head and said, "Why don't I learn it too."

"It's good to learn a little bit, and you don't have to be overwhelmed by many arts."

The two discussed for a while about going to the restaurant to sell salted fish tomorrow, and the sky darkened.

The next morning, Fang Yumin's family of four got up early.Lin Qiulai caught some fat rabbits and put them in the cage, and picked out some salted fish.Xiaoyang and Xiaoming are helping Fang Yumin cook salted fish, rabbit and tofu stew in the kitchen.After everything was done, the family of four put on thick cotton-padded clothes and got on a bullock cart to Nantou County.

Just as Fang Yumin expected, the aroma of salted fish, rabbit diced tofu after heating really attracted the shopkeeper Jin and the chef and second chef in the kitchen.Fang Yumin sold this dish to Shopkeeper Jin for 50 taels, and demonstrated it twice on the spot.

In order to be able to sell the more than ten catties of salted fish, and to have another outlet for my own rabbits.Fang Yumin went out in person, and every time he made a casserole, he took it out and walked around the lobby.Sure enough, the alluring scent of salty fragrance attracted many customers to inquire. Fang Yumin held another tasting and helped shopkeeper Jin attract a group of diners.

Seeing this, shopkeeper Jin couldn't help but patted Lin Qiulai on the shoulder and sighed: "Brother Lin, your wife is really capable! If she also comes here to open a restaurant, she probably snatches away all my guests."

Lin Qiulai laughed foolishly after hearing this, with a look of happiness on his face.That looks happier than being praised.Shopkeeper Jin couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Shopkeeper Jin is a straightforward person. Although his restaurant is not as big as Zhuji, the business is good and there is a regular group of diners.Fang Yumin's family's salted fish, even if the price was 15 yuan a catty, he would have all of them, and Fang Yumin also asked Fang Yumin to supply at least 30 rabbits to his restaurant every month.

Fang Yumin thought that he had a good time working with shopkeeper Jin, so he also told him the two dishes of salted fish meat pie and fish-flavored eggplant.If his dishes sell well, he may order salted fish from her next year.

Before going home, Lin Qiu came to buy pig's feet and belly, Fang Yumin bought a bunch of candied haws for Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, and then took them to buy spices.

Since she sold the recipes for hot and sour powder and braised rabbit meat, the price of spices has risen a lot, and some spices are still in short supply.Now every time Lin Qiulai goes to Nantou County, Fang Yumin asks him to buy spices, anyway, these can be stored for a long time in a dry place.

The Spring Festival will be in two months. The four pigs in Fang Yumin's family are already so fat that their bellies are hanging down to the ground. According to Lin Qiu, each of them weighs at least 100 catties, and they are ready for sale.It's just that the price will be better near the Chinese New Year, so I will continue to raise it.And the two pigs that were bought and raised later were also fat. It is estimated that they will weigh 100 catties during the Chinese New Year, right?

On the way, Xiaoyang asked Fang Yumin: "Mother, when we bought fish to make dried fish, it was only 3 renminbi a catty. How did mother calculate the price of the dried fish to give to the gold shopkeeper? 15 renminbi per catty. How many times has it been doubled!"

Fang Yumin shook his head and said, "It's only doubled at most. Think about it, what we buy is fresh fish. When the fresh fish is dried and dried, the weight will be reduced by at least half. In addition, we have to buy salt to marinate, and it takes labor to To dry, and finally we have to spend time shipping. You didn’t calculate the cost in the middle.”

The two children frowned and began to think about it. Lin Qiu scratched his head and smiled uncontrollably at Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin glared at him: "Why are you smirking?"

Lin Qiulai laughed while driving the ox cart: "I'm so happy, why is my wife so smart? Why are my two sons so obedient and smart? Why am I so happy?"

After finishing speaking, both Xiaoyang and Xiaoming laughed, Fang Yumin smiled and glanced at Lin Qiulai, what an idiot!
