The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 86

It has been a year since he traveled to this Lin Family Village, Fang Yumin suddenly became sentimental, thinking about his confused future, and also missing his parents and younger brother in some time and space, wondering if they are living well?Do you think of her occasionally?

In fact, Fang Yumin didn't last for a few days with this kind of lackluster depression.Affected by her emotions, the sensitive Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang also fell into a low ebb.They thought they had done something wrong to make their mother so unhappy, so they became cautious everywhere, and their smiles naturally disappeared.Every day after returning home from school and having lunch, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang consciously go into the study to review and write homework; after studying, the two of them automatically and consciously dry the grass, clean, bathe the piglets, catch caterpillars and earthworms to feed the chickens Wait for chores.Without Fang Yumin's suggestion, they worked diligently and methodically.

The atmosphere in the house was suddenly so gloomy, so quiet that you could even hear a needle drop on the ground, which made Fang Yumin, who has always been lively, very uncomfortable, especially when watching her two well-behaved and sensible sons keep secretly looking at her face, for fear of making her unhappy. Fang Yumin's heart ached even more.

Fang Yumin was originally a very cheerful person, the kind who would be covered by the sky falling down.I think she had such a temper at the beginning, so she settled down to live in Lin Family Village instead of Fang Xiaolian and took Xiao Ming, and then accepted Lin Qiulai...

How could it be sentimental again after such a long time?If you want to travel abroad and see the world, then you should create conditions to make it happen, right?If the road is difficult, we will take a carriage; if it is inconvenient for women to go out, then we will disguise ourselves as men.Nothing special!Actually, that's what life is all about.

Thinking of it this way, Fang Yumin put aside the sympathetic thoughts of the past few days, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang are still young, and they still need her to bring them up.What's the use of thinking about things that are not available?Thinking of death and life, God will not be merciful and throw her back to modern times.Still cherish the people in front of you!
The thirty vats of soy sauce in the backyard had to be stirred twice a day so that the soybeans inside could fully absorb the sunlight and ferment.Although the sauce jar is not very big, it is still very difficult for Fang Yumin to stir the heavy soybeans in it.Stirring these thirty sauce jars this early in the morning was a lot of work for Fang Yumin, and the intensity was also great.But if it is not stirred, the soybeans inside will not be fermented evenly, which will directly affect the quality of soy sauce.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang are still young, and they have to go to school, Fang Yumin doesn't expect them to help.Lin Qiulai has gone out again, and it is estimated that he will not come back in a month or so... After much deliberation, the only option is to ask Er Bolin Xialai for help.Fang Yumin couldn't help sighing, she really didn't want to trouble others.

Although Lin Qiulai has already asked his second brother and second sister-in-law to take care of his family, but to ask for help, you still have to invite someone to dinner first, right?Besides...

Fang Yumin looked at the neatly arranged sauce jars, she needed a trustworthy apprentice to pass on her craft.Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang will definitely have to take the exam and pursue official careers in the future, although doing business in modern times is a good way out, with money and power.But here, the merchants are at the bottom, not even the peasants.But politics requires a lot of money as a backing, Fang Yumin sighed again, now she can only pave the way for her two sons as much as possible, she can't control the future, she can only rely on themselves.

Two days ago, Dabao's father sent over a large wooden bucket of fish. It turned out that they caught fish again after the spring plowing. This time, most of the fish came back from the river. The meat was firm and delicious.

It's just that when there are more fish, the price will be cheap.Fang Yumin can't help it, the supply relationship is like this, Dabao's father naturally hopes that Fang Yumin will buy their fish again.If the fish is caught and cannot be sold in time, it will die.

Fang Yumin gritted her teeth and asked Dabao's father to go fishing one week later, and then she would buy [-] kilograms at the average market price.She thought about it, fish is used to make soup, which is an extremely delicious soup.Fang Yumin prepared part of the fish to be processed into fish balls, and the other part was dried in the sun to be used as soup ingredients in the future.Doesn't Bamboo Kee sell noodles?I guess they will be interested!

When Fang Yumin walked to the front yard, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang were squatting on the ground turning the tender grass to dry it and feed the rabbits.

"Xiao Ming, you go to the second uncle's house, just say, just say that mother is cooking mixed fish pot today, and invite the second uncle's family to come over for dinner."

"Miscellaneous fish pot?" Xiao Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and hurriedly put down the grass in his hands and rubbed it over to Fang Yumin, asking, "Mother, is miscellaneous fish pot as delicious as boiled fish?"

Fang Yumin raised her hand and flicked Xiao Ming's forehead, and said with a smile: "foodie, tell me if you eat tonight if it tastes good. Now you go and come back quickly, and you have to help me with my brother when you come back."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Xiao Ming smiled at Fang Yumin, patted the grass on his body, and ran out with a grin.

Fang Yumin looked at Xiaoyang, who was turning over the grass diligently with hands and feet while smiling and watching Xiaoming rush out, and said: "Xiaoyang, after turning over the grass, come to the kitchen and help me kill the fish."

Xiao Yang responded with a smile: "Okay."

Fang Yumin ate miscellaneous fish pot when he was traveling in Wuhan. He thought it was delicious, steaming hot, fragrant and spicy.The miscellaneous fish pot eaten in a small restaurant in Hankou contains not only fish meat, but also a lot of fish internal organs such as fish intestines, fish maw, fish eggs, etc. In fact, it is a big miscellaneous pot with coriander piled on top.

At that time, Fang Yumin and her friends ordered a pot, and then served it with two cold dishes, and they were very satisfied.Afterwards, Fang Yumin returned to the city where she lived, and went to a restaurant with miscellaneous fish pot to eat it a few times. The recipe and taste are similar, but it doesn’t have a lot of fish internal organs like the one in Hankou. Usually, there is only one small yellow croaker in one pot. Stew with a flatfish with its guts.

Fang Yumin watched the fish in the wooden barrel squeezed into a ball, with their heads up, their heads open, their mouths closed, and their mouths swelled, but he was thinking about how many fish would be enough to kill?

At this time Xiaoyang came running over, standing beside Fang Yumin and looking at the fish in the barrel.

"Xiaoyang, you can kill eight big fish." Lin Xialai was a good-for-nothing in his prime, Xiaohua was a half-grown boy, and he might be able to eat better than his father, and the remaining three children were all growing up. Shi's daily workload is also very large, so her appetite should not be small, right?Calculated in this way, Fang Yumin felt that eight fish would not be able to escape.Since you invite people to eat miscellaneous fish pot, let's have a good time.

"So many?" Xiao Yang's eyes widened in shock when he heard that.

Seeing Fang Yumin nodding, Xiaoyang stopped talking.He reached into the barrel and grabbed a big fish. He flicked the fish to the ground and knocked it out. Then he started slaughtering.

Xiao Yang is agile and has always been Fang Yumin's assassin. His sword skills are even more accurate than Lin Qiulai's.He is the one who kills chickens, rabbits and fish at home.

Xiaoyang killed the fish very fast, Fang Yumin squatted beside him to help.The head of the fish should be cut in half, the flesh of the fish should be scratched a few times, the intestines of the fish should be removed to wash away the mud, and the fish roe should be washed carefully, so as not to wash off all the roe...

After killing the fish, Xiaoyang cleaned up the tools, and the blood rushed to the channel, and then began to wash the rice and cook.Xiao Ming didn't go into the kitchen, he had to take care of the grass in the yard, he couldn't dry it into hay.The orange peels and dried fish in the backyard should also be doubled.

Fang Yumin smeared salt, ginger juice and wine code on the fish pieces and fish viscera that had been dried on the bamboo plaque.To make a miscellaneous fish pot, you have to prepare the broth for stewing the fish. Fang Yumin poured rice wine into the spoonful of big bone soup according to memory, and dug some homemade soy sauce and Zhuhou sauce into it. Ginger slices and a little sugar, and then use a large spoon to stir these ingredients evenly and set aside.

Generally speaking, when making stewed fish, the fish is first fried for a while before being put into the broth and stewed.But Fang Yumin was afraid that such a large pot of fish would take a long time to stew. After a long time, the fish would be stewed until it disintegrated and melted into the soup. Wouldn't it turn into fish soup?So Fang Yumin fried it before preparing to stew it.

Cornmeal and egg whites are mixed into a paste, as long as the fish pieces and fish viscera are thinly wrapped and ready to be fried, it can not only lock in the freshness and sweetness of the fish, but also prevent it from being stewed, killing two birds with one stone.Anyway, Lin Qiu squeezed a lot of soybean oil before going out.

Heat the iron pan red, pour in soybean oil, put the protein powder-coated fish pieces and fish viscera into the iron pan and deep-fry until the surface is slightly yellow, then remove and set aside.

Pour the excess oil into the pot, heat the red iron pot again, Fang Yumin puts in Chinese prickly ash and chili in turn, picks up the slag and throws it away after the fragrance is fried, then pours the broth that has been adjusted earlier, puts down the fried fish pieces, sprinkles Bring the scallions to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer.

There is no skill in making this stew, just be patient and simmer the ingredients until they are tasty.And it is most suitable to use firewood for stewing. If you put a piece of firewood in, you don’t need to worry about it, and the fish soup that is being stewed in the big iron pot is gurgling and fragrant.

In addition to this miscellaneous fish pot, Fang Yumin also prepared pickled cucumber sticks in vinegar, pig ears in water, red oil mixed with potato flour, pickled vegetables and scrambled eggs with shallots.In addition, I washed a large basket of lettuce. When the fish is almost eaten, I can put the vegetables down and eat them hot.

It was almost dinner time, and Lin Xialai's family of four came over. As soon as they smelled the smell of stewed fish wafting from the kitchen, they swallowed like the two Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang who were staring at the kitchen.

Fang Yumin smiled and asked Xiaohua and Taohua: "How about we eat in the garden where the cherry blossoms are blooming?"

Xiaohua and Taohua nodded hurriedly, and said in unison: "Okay!"

"Then I need to trouble Erbo to build an earthen stove here. This miscellaneous fish pot must be hot to taste."

Lin Xialai waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it will be fine soon."

After finishing speaking, he picked up bricks and crossed them to set up a round earthen stove in the yard, then moved the red-burning firewood to the earthen stove, and put two more firewood on it, and then put the hot pot Put the stewed fish on top.

Fang Yumin looked at the bulging tendons when he was working and couldn't help sighing, strength is different.I don't think it would be difficult to ask him to stir his sauce jar twice a day, right?

The tables and chairs were moved to the yard, hot and cold dishes were served, and the dishes and chopsticks were set and started.

Fang Yumin swallowed the soft fish cloud and said: "Xiaohua, Taohua, don't be shy, I'm your aunt, why are you polite? Eat quickly, or you will be robbed of the fish belly by Xiao Ming's foodies."

What he said made everyone laugh, and Xiao Ming was embarrassed to eat the fish belly, saying that he wanted to eat the fish cloud in his mother's bowl even more.

Once the atmosphere was warm, everyone ate more happily.You come and go, chatting and laughing, all the eight big fish were wiped out, and Lin Xia Lai spooned the soup on the rice and ate it, it seemed delicious to him like that.

Xiaohua also imitated his father's example and poured rice on top of the rice, and actually stuffed another bowl of rice into her stomach. Fang Yumin really wanted to eat it, but unfortunately she was almost unable to sit still.

After eating and drinking enough, Fang Yumin asked Lin Xialai with a smile: "Second Uncle, I brewed [-] cylinders of soy sauce and put it in the backyard. It is too difficult for me to mix the sauce by myself. Can you and Xiaohua help me?"

"Okay, no problem." Lin Xialai readily agreed.

"Thank you, Uncle Er. It's just that these sauces have to be stirred regularly, once in the morning and in the evening. If I'm not too physically weak, I really don't want to bother Uncle Er and Sister-in-law." Fang Yumin said with a smile.

"What's the trouble? Starting tomorrow, Xiaohua's father will bring Xiaohua over to help you." He said.

Fang Yumin clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Then Xiaolian will thank my second uncle and sister-in-law. If the quality of this batch of soy sauce is good, the market will be good. If Xiaohua wants to learn, then follow me to learn brewing next year. "

As soon as Fang Yumin finished speaking, Lin Xialai and his wife couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and asked, "Really? Are you really willing to teach Xiaohua?"

If the quality is good, if the sales are good, it is all polite words!Every time Lin Xialai went to the restaurant to deliver rabbits, the shopkeeper Zhang asked Mrs. Lin about the soy sauce.

"Of course it is true, as long as Xiaohua wants to learn." Fang Yumin smiled and turned to ask Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, do you want to learn?"

"I think." Xiaohua nodded vigorously, and he was also very happy in his heart.If you have a skill, you are not afraid of having no meat to eat at home, or having no money to build a house, let alone being unable to marry a wife.

Fang Yumin clasped her palms together and said happily, "Then it's settled."

"That's a deal!"
