Chapter 24
: A comfortable life
I grabbed the green onions and cut them into pieces, mixed some soy sauce and sesame oil. After the eggs were steamed and taken out, I put these seasonings on the steamed eggs.
The egg custard is delicious, nutritious, and tender, and is very suitable for children to eat.
However, the villagers in Lijia Village are really poor at home, and no one wants to raise some poultry.
Mrs. Li said that there was only one cattle in the village that was bought with the strength of the whole village, and it cost a full ten taels of silver, so it was bought the same year ago.
The cow in the village is old now. Someone once suggested killing and eating meat to satisfy his cravings, but most people opposed it, which made those people rest.
The village’s crops need this cow. If you kill this cow and eat meat, it will cost twenty taels of silver to buy another cow.
The old village chief took people to the town to see that ten taels of silver was the price of the year before yesterday, and this year the cattle are relatively scarce and even more expensive.
The grain harvest is not good this year, so there is only one cow in the village. After plowing everyone's land, some villagers have been planting for a long time.
The germination period and growth period of crops are pushed back, and the yield per mu of grain is very small. In addition, the country has been fighting wars all year round, and the taxes are heavy.
After handing over some of the grain, every household has no more food left to eat. Even if they save money, they will not be able to sustain the harvest in the coming year.
The old village chief planned to add another cow to the village, and the two cows were plowing the land faster, but when he asked about the price, he gave up.
No more thoughts, and taking advantage of this leisure time, Xiao Lan took out the wild boar meat from the space, put it on the chopping board and cut it.
I will make fried meat slices tomorrow and fried meatballs, and wait for Yu'er's friends to come and eat them.
I was not stingy at all when I saw my mother. She was not like the mothers of most children in the village. She kept hiding from people when eating something.
After Yu'er fed the little rabbit, she saw her mother cutting such a large meat on the chopping board, as big as a washbasin. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Since his mother picked up the wild boar, he has become addicted to eating wild boar meat.
He knew that the meat was hard to come by. His mother was so kind and there was no slightest bit of force on her face. Instead, she smiled at him and continued to cut the meat.
It was very quiet around, but the baby's mood was like a flame, and it was not calm.
He no longer worried that his mother would leave or get sick. He was used to laughing with her.
My mother became very gentle and gentle, and he was very happy inside, and he didn't expect that his friends would be so valued by her mother.
Xiao Lan didn't know how excited her baby was, so she cut a small piece of wild boar meat and then took out the tall cabbage from the space.
I want to be jealous and jealous, so I immediately make jealous and jealous, so that the little ones can continue to immerse themselves in the food they make.
Cabbage is a very common green vegetable, and of course it is also very common. It is stir-fried with vinegar and cabbage, and the recipe for this dish is relatively simple.
Cut the cabbage into shredded cabbage and wash it for later use. Peel the pork belly and cut it into thin slices of meat, then peel and wash the scallions and ginger pieces.
Cut into chopped green onions and minced ginger, heat the wok, pour in an appropriate amount of cooking oil, and when it is 70% hot, add the slices of meat to stir-fry. When the slices of meat change color, add the chopped green onions and minced ginger prepared in advance and stir-fry before stir-frying and then pour in shredded cabbage.
Continue stir-fry until the cabbage is cooked. After stir-frying, add salt, vinegar, MSG, chicken essence, sesame oil and other ingredients to the pan.
At this time, the egg custard was already cooked. Open the lid of the pot, hold the edge of the bowl with a rag, and bring it from the large pot to the table, one bowl for each person.
Drop a few drops of sesame oil and soy sauce, add chives, perfectly serve.
She heard the little guy swallowing saliva.
"Stir-fried pork slices with vinegar and cabbage, delicious egg custard is here, go wash your hands and start the meal!"
After Xiao Lan finished speaking, the baby washed the handle at the speed of the wind and came back immediately.
Sitting quietly in front of the low table, waiting pitifully for her mother to give her instructions to move her chopsticks.
"Start eat!"
Xiao Lan held a spoon in her left hand and chopsticks in her right hand. The baby also treated the same thing, held the spoon in her left hand and chopsticks in her right hand.
Let’s start together, a plate of fried pork slices with vinegar and cabbage, and a bowl of egg custard for each person, and put them on a low table.
Xiao Lan and Zaizi were about to get to the point of their ears while eating. Having such delicious food is really a great enjoyment in the world.
The egg custard is too hot, so you have to blow it before entering the mouth.
When I blew it in my mouth, it still felt a little hot, and my baby was so hot that he stuck out his tongue.
Xiao Lan put the rice porridge that had been cold for a long time to the baby, and then picked it up and poured it into her mouth.
After drinking the rice porridge, the little girl said, "It's delicious, it's too hot."
While saying that, he fanned his tongue. Xiao Lan felt embarrassed to see this funny scene.
When I eat egg custard next, I am not so anxious.
The little girl's left hand lacked a correct head, and the egg custard was eaten up on her chin and cheeks.
The broken egg custard stuck to the little face, and the food was eaten so seriously that Xiao Lan burst into laughter in a muffled voice.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? What's so funny?"
The baby licked the broken egg custard on the spoon, which was so cute.
"No, my mother just wants to laugh, let's continue eating."
When Zaizai heard his mother's words, she thought she had eaten so delicious and smiled happily.
Little did he know that he was laughing at his cute and funny appearance now, so he continued to eat egg custard seriously.
"Come on, eat the vinegar and cabbage made by my mother. The cabbage is very delicious, come and try it."
Xiao Lan pushed the plate in front of the baby.
The little kid picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. The cabbage had the flavor of meat, the sauce, and the vinegar had a stronger aroma.
Sour, mixed together, the lips and teeth are really fragrant.
He squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, feeling the smell in his mouth.
"Why did my mother's meal make is not suitable for her? She fell asleep as she ate?"
Xiao Lan saw that the baby opened her eyes.
"I didn't fall asleep because it was so delicious. Jays wanted it. Guess what seasoning is there in the vinegar and cabbage?"
"Zaizai also wants to learn how to cook in the future, and then learn how to make a mother-in-law. This dish and this egg custard are so delicious."
"Okay, then my mother will wait for the baby to make it for her to eat. She is not allowed to break her promise. What if the baby breaks her promise?"
"Well, let the baby think about it. If the baby breaks his promise, it will really turn into a piglet."
The baby pouted and then raised his feet happily.
"It feels great to be loved by your mother, but your mother will be very tired, and your baby also wants to take care of her."
"Zizi is so good, I know I love my mother."
When I heard Xiao Lan's words, the baby was overjoyed. Every time I was affirmed by my mother, I felt very accomplished and my heart was warm.
