Chapter 161 A lively family affair

After the little guys said hello, they went to play in the yard again.

Yingchun walked in at this time and said to her: "Auntie, let me help you cook."

She hurriedly said no, but Yingchun said again: "It doesn't matter, aunt, I can cook everything at home. My mother said that I cook deliciously. As long as aunt tells me, I can cook well."

Seeing what Yingchun said, she no longer refused and asked Yingchun to pick two lotus leaves in the yard, rinse them with clean water and bring them to her.

After having some work to do, Yingchun runs faster than anyone else.

Fei Chengsheng had already cut a large pot of loach into pieces. He pinched a handful of salt and asked her, "Is this enough salt to pickle the loach?"

"Well, these are just enough. When you throw them in, grab more and spread them evenly."

While Fei Chengsheng was pickling the loach, Qin Zhiyi cut a small handful of leeks outside.

I also grow my own leeks. Just by cutting them, I can already smell the fragrance of the leeks.

After cleaning the leeks, Yingchun also picked lotus leaves, washed them and brought them in.

Now after marinating the loach, we start cutting the eel.

Yingchun held the lotus leaves and then said: "Auntie, should I add some fire to the water now? What shall we eat tonight?"

"Eat rice."

Not only does she like to eat the fragrant white rice, but the children also like it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Yingchun couldn't help but smile.

Several children who were eavesdropping by the kitchen door heard that they wanted to eat rice, and they all started whispering among themselves.

It's just that everyone has a smile on their face.

They all know that as long as their aunt comes back, there will be delicious food.

At noon they had delicious meat buns, beef patties and leek boxes.

They also saw in the evening that their aunt was cutting fish into meat and eating it with white rice, making it a satisfying meal.

Qin Zhiyi took the lotus leaf that Yingchun handed her, picked up the basin, used chopsticks to push a large amount of loaches into it, and said with a smile: "Go ahead and let Lai Wang mix some mud. Don't make it too thin."

, I will wrap the lotus leaves in a while, and use the fruit layer on top to seal them. After telling Laiwang, you come back to boil water and prepare to cook rice."

"good."

Yingchun agreed quickly and ran out.

And she leisurely sprinkled some chopped leeks into the loach segments, and then wrapped the loaches layer by layer with lotus leaves.

After wrapping it up, I found a thread and wrapped it around the lotus leaves to prevent them from falling apart when wrapped in mud.

By the time she finished, the mud in Laiwang had been reconciled, and as for Yingchun, the fire had already been lit and water added.

The fire was raging, so she took the lotus leaf wrapped with loach segments, and together with Lai Wang, covered it with mud.

After wrapping it, stuff it into the hole of the pot so that it can be burned while cooking.

Yingchun blinked in confusion, she didn't expect that the food could be cooked like this.

But she didn't say anything, and every child even took their aunt as their role model.

The children were playing hide and seek in the yard, while she and Fei Chengsheng were busy in the kitchen.

After cutting the eel, Qin Zhiyi kicked him out.

"Okay, now that you've finished cutting these, there's nothing else for you to do. You can just go and rest for a while."

Just as he was talking, his sister-in-law's voice came from the door.

"I just finished my work and I'm still a little late. Mr. Fei, we are here to help. You should go out and rest first."

Zhang Qiaoniang also followed into the kitchen: "Yes, yes, there are a few of us, so you can go and have a rest."

After saying that, he said to Qin Zhiyi: "Sister, you should go and have a rest too. I just came back today and I was so busy with things that I didn't have any time to spare. We are all members of our family, so we can just do it."

Seeing her sisters-in-law coming in, she felt happy: "It's not a problem, it's not really busy, it's just cooking."

When Fei Chengsheng saw several women coming in, he looked at Qin Zhiyi, and finally left under the signal from her eyes.

The sisters-in-law were all interested in the potatoes in the yard. Qin Zhiyi introduced them to them again, and finally said: "I plan to fry some potatoes for you to try at noon today, and I will teach you how to grow the rest."

, we will be able to harvest them again in a few months, and then we will select some of the harvested potatoes to make seeds, so we can continue to plant them next year.”

After saying this, Qin Zhiyi had already picked up four or five shaved skins.

Several sisters-in-law were surprised when they saw that after peeling off the skin of something that looked like a stone, the inside turned out to be similar to a sweet potato.

"This thing is really good, it looks like it can work."

"I was there when Ah Yi planted the seeds. It was only a small amount. I didn't expect to harvest so much."

"My sister is more capable and knowledgeable."

A few people were talking to each other, and Qin Zhiyi had already cut a few potatoes into potato strips with a knife, and cut several other potatoes into shredded potatoes, preparing to make French fries and spicy and sour potato shreds.

Add salt to the boiling water, then blanch the cut potato strips in the boiling water until they are almost cooked. After cooking, pour them into a dustpan to dry them.

The cut potato shreds should also be rinsed with water to remove the starch on them, and then blanched with water.

After doing all this, scoop out the water in the pot and pour it into the pig food bucket. The boiling water will not be wasted and the pig food can be scalded.

After all this is done, boil the water again. The water boiled this time is ready for cooking rice.

After fishing out the rice, we started cooking.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish and chips.

Braised fish is delicious after frying it once.

But the smell of fish was strong, so the potato strips were fried first. The potato strips that had been dried in the dustpan had already dried and were poured into the pot. The boiling oil immediately produced oily splatters.

The three sisters-in-law were also dumbfounded. They had never seen anything like this before.

Qin Zhiyi calmly put the potato strips into the pot and told Yingchun to lower the fire. When the potato strips all floated and the outer layer turned white and slightly yellow, they could be taken out and set aside.

At this time, the potato strips are cooked but not crispy enough and need to be fried a second time.

The second time, the fire should be higher, then pour it in and fry again. After frying, take it out, and Qin Zhiyi will let a few small ones take it out to eat.

There were no tomatoes at this time, so we couldn't make ketchup, so we had to make do with the French fries.

When blanching the fries, she sprinkled salt in the pot, so the fries tasted slightly salty.

She first let several sisters-in-law taste it. Each sister-in-law pinched a stick and put it in their mouths. It made a crackling sound. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They all said it was delicious.

Children don't need to eat food that's too salty. As expected, a bunch of little ones brought out French fries and had a great time eating them.

While she was busy frying the fish, Erni had already grabbed the French fries and ran into the kitchen.

She stood on tiptoes and put the fries in her hand into her mouth. Her little voice was soft and waxy: "Grandma, eat it. Grandma is so awesome. The food I cook is the most delicious in the world~"
