The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 76

After worshiping the ancestors, the family will sit together and taste the Laba porridge made by each house to see who makes the best one?Who is the most willing to put the ingredients to cook.With comparison, next year everyone will do better.

Fang Yumin didn't add walnuts and chestnuts to the porridge because she didn't want to show off.But even so, because her Laba porridge was boiled for a long time, and it was seasoned with more sugar, it tasted delicious and glutinous. Almost all the children rushed to eat her Laba porridge, and even Zhang Cuihua ate two bowls.

He's cooking is not bad either, she put chestnuts in and boiled, it was very fragrant.It's just that the children prefer Fang Yumin's because there is less sugar in it.

The worst thing is the Laba porridge made by Hu's. It is sparse and watery, with little ingredients, and no sweetness or fragrance at all.Almost no one touched the pot in her house.In comparison, Lin Chunlai's face turned dark, and he gouged out Hu's eyes again and again. In front of his family, his mother-in-law was really ashamed!

Mrs. Hu was also a little aggrieved. Didn't Fang Xiaolian make the worst Laba porridge in the past?She was just doing the same thing as before, who knew it would change like this?
After eating the Laba porridge, everyone packed up and went home.Seeing that Fang Yumin is going home, Zhang Cuihua feels restless like a cat scratching.She was still thinking about the down jacket that belonged to her but now became your aunt's down jacket. I heard that it was light and warm to wear.Much warmer than the bulky old padded jacket.But Fang Yumin didn't say a word after that, so why isn't Zhang Cuihua in a hurry?

Fang Yumin saw Zhang Cuihua's strengths in her eyes but didn't want to change her mind. Let alone Fang Xiaolian in the past, she said that since she came here, Zhang Cuihua has treated their family all kinds of things, and she wants to make a deal with this old woman immediately. Lines are cleared.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, we're going home." Fang Yumin beckoned Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to come over, helped them put on their hats, and then said to Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua, "My daughter-in-law made two down jackets for my father-in-law. My mother-in-law wore it for the New Year. But my mother-in-law just said she didn’t want it, so I had to give it to your aunt. I’ll ask Qiulai to bring over my father-in-law’s down jacket in a while. My father-in-law is getting old, so keep warm. This It is also Qiulai and Xiaolian's filial piety to their parents-in-law."

Fang Yumin's words blocked Zhang Cuihua to death, she opened her mouth so angry that she couldn't utter a word.Lin Daniu glanced at Zhang Cuihua, nodded and said, "Qiu Lai's daughter-in-law has a heart."

"It should be." Fang Yumin said modestly, and then took Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to say goodbye to everyone, and Lin Qiulai followed them with a basket.

Fang Yumin was happy in her heart, and she grinned all the way.Lin Qiulai pinched Fang Yumin's face helplessly, and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Where?" Fang Yumin glared at Lin Qiulai, and said, "When you went in to worship your ancestors, your mother kept trying to trick me, asking me to give my hat to Plum Blossom, and wanting the padded jacket I was wearing. And then I don’t care about my things at all. That’s why I said to give the down jacket to your aunt. Of course, your uncle and your aunt really helped us a lot, and we should thank them.”

Lin Qiulai opened his mouth to say something but couldn't say a word, he just nodded and sighed secretly.What can he say with his mother's virtue?
After returning home, Fang Yumin sent Lin Qiu to deliver clothes to her father-in-law.She was at odds with Zhang Cuihua, but her father-in-law never felt sorry for them, so she just followed the etiquette.

As for Zhang Cuihua's fuss?Fang Yumin didn't know and didn't want to know.Now when she comes home, she will close the door to protect the privacy of her home and to isolate the right and wrong outside.

"Qiu Lai, how about digging here? I'm afraid it will be hot when it burns. It's okay in winter, but it will be a bit of a pain in summer." Fang Yumin stood in the yard and inspected it, pointing to the leftmost piece.

"Isn't it good to dig in the old house?" Lin Qiulai asked, "We don't live there, so it's not convenient to dig by the kitchen?"

"No. Our unique oven needs to be sold for money. And I don't want others to know what we bake, or the whole village will know it in a minute." Fang Yumin said: "If you dig it in your backyard , No one can see what you do, how good it is. Otherwise, if you say what I say, there will be more right and wrong."

Lin Qiulai smiled: "That's right, let's dig here."

"Well, we don't need to dig too deep, we can use it ourselves."

"Row."

"Mother, isn't the food made with this delicious?" Xiaoming and Xiaoyang were dressed in round clothes like Fang Yumin, and braved the cold wind to follow him to the backyard to have a look.

"Yes, it's delicious." Fang Yumin swallowed.

"That's Daddy's speed." Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang also swallowed their saliva. According to past experience, my mother said that the delicious food must be delicious.

Fang Yumin had already finished drawing the blueprint, and explained it to Lin Qiulai, and even ordered the iron hook and frame.Lin Qiulai had memorized it by heart a long time ago, and now he is digging with his arms rounded.

This so-called oven is made according to the ancient Guangdong method of roasting pigs. A dry well is dug, and the well is built with stones, clams, and lime mud.Insert the custom-made circle-shaped iron frame into the seam of the well body and fix it. If you want to make roasted suckling pig, barbecued pork, roasted meat, or roasted chicken in the future, you can hook the meat in the iron hook and hang it on the iron frame. Burned.

The ancient method of roasting pork is cooked with charcoal wood, and the heat is no worse than that of modern ovens, or even better, because the skin remains crispy all day after roasting, and it is delicious.

People are still busy buying new year's goods, pickled food, etc., because Fang Yumin's family started shopping early, when other people's homes are the busiest, their family is free, just waiting for the new year.Fang Yumin, who was free, began to fiddle with food. Piglets in winter are really cheap, so Fang Yumin wanted to eat roast suckling pig in Guangdong.Well, roasted chicken and roasted duck are also good, oh, and char siew. Thinking of Fang Yumin makes my mouth water, so I decided to make this ancient oven.After the iron box is also ready, you can try to bake bread and pancakes, maybe it will work?
Lin Qiu was the only big man in the family, and he was the only one who worked hard to dig the well.Fang Yumin and the two younger ones can only help serve some hot soup and make a delicious meal to reward our great husband and father.Lin Qiulai has been busy for three full days.

During this period, Fang Yumin also opened a can of soy sauce with a high salt content.She knows that now is not the best time to produce sauce, but Fang Yumin really wants to try the taste.And when making roast suckling pig or roast chicken, they use their own soy sauce, which happens to be bundled for sale.

Xiao Yang and Xiao Ming can't help Lin Qiulai, but they can help Fang Yumin.Fang Yumin filtered the aged soy sauce, boiled it on high heat, and then let it cool down.This is not over yet, it has to be filtered again.At this time, maltose and sugar are added to taste, and then boiled for about five hours to concentrate the soy sauce in the pot.After that, let it cool down again, and the soy sauce is considered complete at this time.

As soon as the soy sauce was ready, Fang Yumin couldn't wait to taste it.The taste is really delicious and mellow. Although it is a little salty, it is first-class when used as a marinade for cooking. It is also good for cooking. Fang Yumin is very satisfied.

For convenience and better preservation, Fang Yumin packed it in small jars.It's full of ten small cans.Her soy sauce is finished here, and Lin Qiulai's oven is also finished there.

After the oven is finished, it has to be put aside for another two days. After that, it needs to be burned in the well with firewood and charcoal for two consecutive days. The walls and bottom of the well are dry and ready for use.

Fang Yumin didn't know if this ancient oven would work.No matter how cheap the little piggy is, it still costs money, so she decided to try roast chicken and rabbit first.

The marinade for grilled chicken and rabbit is nothing more than soy sauce, salt, sugar, wine, five-spice powder, white pepper, etc., as well as ginger, onion, garlic, mix all the marinade, add a little boiling water, and then spread it evenly Chicken, marinate the chicken for at least one hour.In fact, the longer it is marinated, the more flavorful and delicious it will be.Fang Yumin tried to marinate the chicken for two days before putting it in the oven, and it was delicious.

After marinating, the chicken and the rabbit are hooked with hooks respectively, and then hung into the red-hot baking well and roasted.As for how long to bake?There is no clock here, so Fang Yumin doesn't know very well, only walking steps can be seen.But halfway through, I have to brush the sauce again, and then try it with an iron needle.

In order to have a crispy skin, Fang Yumin also boiled the sauce with malt sugar and vinegar at a ratio of 1:3. This brush is baked on the skin, and it will have a crispy skin. It is the best for roast duck.

Not long after, there was a tempting scent coming out of the baking well, and there was the creaking sound of fat falling on the charcoal. Fang Yumin and his family of four were drooling around the baking well.

When Lin Qiulai pulled two roast chickens and one roast rabbit out of the well, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.The grilled ones are different from the boiled ones. The aroma of the meat is direct and overbearing, which tightly tempts your taste buds.

Fang Yumin first pierced the thickest chicken breast and rabbit leg with an iron needle. Although the needle tip was still cold after pulling it out, the upper part of the needle tip was warm, and it only needed to be roasted for a while.

Xiao Yang and Xiao Ming quickly saw that Fang Yumin pulled out the needle, and quickly spread another layer of sauce on the roast chicken and rabbit.Immediately afterwards, I brushed the crispy sauce made by Fang Yumin again.After everything was wiped off, Lin Qiulai put the roast chicken and rabbit into the oven again to continue roasting.

"Mom, is the roast chicken ready? It smells really good." Xiao Ming walked around the roasting well.

"Wait a little longer." Fang Yumin didn't know if it was ready, but the meat had to be fully cooked.

The four waited patiently for a while, and finally lifted the manhole cover and lifted out the roast chicken and the roast rabbit.I saw the roasted chicken and the roasted rabbit glowing with sauce red oil and giving off a strong meaty aroma, but the tails of the roasted chicken and the roasted rabbit were a little burnt.

"It smells so good." Lin Qiulai and Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang circled around the still steaming roast chicken and roast rabbit.

Fang Yumin was also very happy. Seeing that the charcoal in the roasting well was still burning, he mixed the leftover marinade of the roast chicken with potatoes, put it in a casserole, added broth, and hung it down the well.Waste is not a good habit, and baked potatoes are delicious this way.

One way to eat grilled chicken is to eat it by tearing it up. This one should be sprinkled while it is hot. The texture will not be damaged, and it is very delicious and fun to eat. Chopped, this is convenient to eat, but the flavor is worse than hand-torn.

Fang Yumin was naturally going to tear it up with her husband and sons, and started after washing her hands.Because they were going to make roast chicken, they didn't eat much when Lin Qiu came. They saved their stomachs to eat roast chicken. Now each of them pulled a chicken leg and ate it. It tasted so delicious.Why is the skin so crispy?Why is this meat so tender?The gravy, oh, the gravy is overflowing...

A gust of wind blew away the clouds, and only the heads and feet of the two roasted chickens remained.The four of them ate very satisfactorily, sucking their fingers as if they were still unsatisfied.So the pot of potatoes was also brought up and killed.

Lin Qiu came to take care of the rest of the cleaning work. Fang Yumin was so full that she hiccupped. She lay lazily on the chaise longue and asked Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang: "My sons, what do you think of the roast chicken?"

"It's delicious, it's so delicious." Both children raised their thumbs, touched their chubby stomachs and said, "That skin is the most delicious, crispy and fragrant."

"Well, the skin is really delicious. I guess it can be used as a roast duck. But don't you think the sauce is also delicious?"

"Mother, I can't eat this anymore." Xiao Ming told the truth, but Xiao Yang said: "The roast chicken tastes very sweet, maybe it is brought out by soy sauce? Mother, the taste of rabbit meat is bland, maybe it will be more obvious when eating roast rabbit .”

Fang Yumin glanced at Xiaoyang with a smile: "Are you still full?"

Xiaoyang smiled wryly, pouted her stomach and said, "Look, Liuyuan! I'm almost too full to walk."

That night, Lin Qiulai's family of four went to bed later than usual because they were full of food.

A few days later, Lin Qiulai bought piglets and ducks and came back to try roast duck and suckling pig for Fang Yumin.Roast chicken, duck, and suckling pig for several days in a row.Lin Qiulai's family of four ate so much that their mouths were full of oil.

Although the oven is a well furnace, underground, but the fragrance rises and wafts out, but all the villagers who pass by Lin Qiulai's house can't help but inhale this attractive fragrance deeply.Stretching his neck to see what Fang Xiaolian is doing so fragrant?It's just that there are high walls and deep courtyards, and no matter how long the neck is stretched, it won't help.

It will be the new year in a few days, Lin Qiulai has to go to Nantou County today, this is the last time to send rabbits to the restaurant this year.Lin Xialai had already sent the rabbit over. He would go with Lin Qiulai and buy some meat back.Because all the shops here are closed during the Chinese New Year, and people will only open shops for business after the Lantern Festival.That's why everyone was so busy when there was no refrigerator before the Chinese New Year.

Fang Yumin took the opportunity to wrap some of the roasted duck and roasted suckling pig in oil paper and let Lin Qiulai give them to the shopkeeper Jin and Zhuji.She doesn't plan to sell it to just one family, because this roast duck, roast suckling pig, or roast pig all rely on the experience and cooking of the chef, even if you know the method, it doesn't necessarily make it delicious.

Now Fang Yumin just wants them to taste the taste first, and then asks Lin Qiu to tell them that it will taste ten times better when it is hot.It's best if both of them want to learn, so she and Lin Qiulai will teach them after paying the tuition fee.This time, she set the tuition fee at 500 taels of silver.
