I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 123: Braised Noodles

Sun Mao looked at Baiyuntang's back, reacted, and spat in dissatisfaction,

 “Bah~, what a bastard, a thing struck by lightning.” After the protagonist left, he did not dare to go to the Bai clan to cause trouble, so he could only lead them away reluctantly.

 He came in a rage and left angrily, but everyone knew that there was no hope of Mrs. Sun coming back.

　　It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Baiyun Xi turned out of the fork in the road. Listening to their argument, he shook his head speechlessly and carried his things home.

When Mrs. Du saw her mother-in-law coming back, she hurriedly greeted her, "Mom, why did you pick so many perilla leaves? Hey, are there still duck eggs?"

“Well, when I come back from the fields, I want to try my luck in the shallows of the mountain stream. In addition to duck eggs, there are also screws.”

Baiyunxi picked out the duck eggs and put them into the big bowl. He pointed at the screws at the bottom of the basket and found a basin to pour them into.

"I spit out the soil for a day and fried it with spicy pepper and perilla leaves at night. It tastes good. I picked a lot of perilla leaves. I washed them and made them with lean meat cubes to make perilla sauce. I put some in it when making soup and pancakes. , used as seasoning, very fragrant.”

 “Mom, I can’t do it.”

Du Shi was stunned. There were a lot of perilla leaves growing by the river. Everyone knew that these leaves were edible, but they were only used as seasonings.

This is the first time I have heard of making perilla sauce, and I have never seen my mother-in-law make this before.

"It doesn't matter, I can do it. You can watch it later and do it by yourself after you learn how to do it."

 Baiyunxi washed his hands and asked Du to make some mixed noodles first. Then he made mixed noodles for lunch, using perilla sauce and wild duck eggs to marinate them.

 “Mom, I have the strength, I’ll roll out the noodles.”

Mrs. Li walked in with her sleeves rolled up. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law divided the work and cooperated. Mrs. Li rolled out the noodles, Mrs. Du made a fire, and Mrs. Baiyunxi made the stew.

Shred the perilla leaves, dice the lean meat and marinate it with grass fruit powder, chop the onion, ginger, garlic, spicy tempeh and set aside. In order to increase the umami flavor, Baiyunxi also mashed a piece of cane sugar and set it aside.

 Heat the pot, add a spoonful of lard to the pot, fry the duck eggs first and put them on a plate.

Add oil again, stir-fry the ingredients until fragrant, add the diced meat and stir-fry until it changes color, then add the perilla, stir-fry together, and season with salt and powdered sugar.

Stir-fry a few more times to allow the perilla leaves to absorb enough of the soup. Then you can put it on the altar and eat slowly.

Even if the seasoning is not complete, the ingredients are all natural and the aroma is full when it comes out of the pot.

 “Mom, it smells so good.”

Li cut the noodles, watched her mother-in-law making the perilla sauce, and sniffed.

Even Du Shi has to admit that even if he doesn’t taste it, just looking at the ingredients, it’s delicious.

“Mom, I’ll make a note of it and make another one after I finish eating.”

　　‘It’s just that my mother-in-law was too heavy-handed. A spoonful of meat oil was too wasteful. ’

Hearing Du Shi’s thoughts, Bai Yunxi didn’t even move his brows. “This kind of perilla sauce can be eaten for half a month once made. It can be stored for longer in winter. You don’t need to buy perilla leaves. It’s very cost-effective.”

Hearing her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du looked at the jar of perilla sauce. If she only used a small spoonful at a time, she would be able to accept it.

But when she saw her mother-in-law pouring a spoonful of marinade on each bowl of noodles, her heart started to tremble along with the spoon.

According to the way my mother-in-law eats it, this jar of sauce will not last for two days.

 I feel heartbroken. The taste is really bad. Each person had a big bowl of mixed noodles and braised noodles, which made them feel satisfied.

 After dinner, Baiyunxi greeted Xiaosi and Xiaowu.

"The big bowl in the kitchen is reserved for your second brother. You two go to deliver the food together. By the way, you and your second brother will dig the ground together and try to finish it in one day."
