Chapter 239 Seafood Porridge
Dinner is very simple, 70% rice, 30% millet, and a big pot of porridge.
While it's boiling, add the remaining broth, the remaining Jiang Juzhu, squid tentacles, squid tails, and a section of sausage chopped into pieces. Turn off the heat after boiling into porridge, add salt, and pour in the shredded chicken and vegetable leaves, and you have it.
A pot of fragrant seafood porridge.
This porridge is very nourishing, suitable for all ages, and it’s only half past five when it’s ready.
Neither his parents came back, but Zhou Zhi couldn't wait any longer, so he took his two daughters upstairs with pots and started dinner with his grandmother in advance.
The side dishes are two of the simplest home-cooked dishes - fried two-sided yellow tofu with green onions counts as one dish, and boiled shredded radish and chopped green onions, stir-fried into eggs, counts as another dish.
Grandma and the two girls were very happy to eat a proper healthy meal, but Zhou Zhi couldn't stand it, so she went to pick up a piece of red bean curd.
"My dear grandson, your red tofu has taken away the flavor." Grandma, who was also a very particular person at the dinner table, criticized Zhou Zhi: "Smells "I'll go, I'll go..." Zhou Zhi had to walk away with the bean curd in one hand and the seafood porridge in the other:
"I'm so far away from you."
Duan'er, can you eat it on the balcony?"
Everyone laughed, Jiang Shuyi put a piece of egg into grandma's bowl: "Grandma, don't just drink porridge, this is also delicious."
"This is supposed to be an egg pancake with shredded radish. I've had elbow-shaped pancakes before, but he's being lazy and fooling you." Grandma continued to criticize.
"That's too troublesome to do..." Zhou Zhi complained quietly: "And I don't think we are short of carbohydrate intake..."
"Then you teach me and I will make it for grandma next time." Jiang Shuyi said.
"Okay." Zhou Zhi said okay, but his head was shaking, hinting to Jiang Shuyi not to say any more.
Shredded radish cake sounds simple, but it is a famous Jiangsu dish.
The characteristic of Jiangsu cuisine is its fineness. The filling is not just shredded radish, but shredded radish that has been soaked in water and salt, and excess moisture has been squeezed out.
In addition, add suet pellets, minced ham, green onion, monosodium glutamate, sugar, and fine salt, and mix well to form a filling.
The skin also needs to be made into dry pastry first, and then into water-oil noodles. After rolling out the skin, pinching it, folding it, and rolling it into strips, the "pieces" for the fillings can be cut out.
After filling the fillings, you have to apply egg liquid and sprinkle with sesame seeds. The whole process is more complicated than braised pork and twice-cooked pork.
Jiang Shuyi, a silly girl who wants to please her grandma, is going in the wrong direction if she puts in all her efforts in this regard and has a gem like Feng Xueshan in front of her.
How dare you take on such a big job, as someone who requires Xueshan and me to guide you in stir-fried river shrimps and pickled cabbage, yellow and spicy diced soup?
"Shu Yi, have you finished the embroidery sample you prepared for grandma?"
"Yes, the painting is done." Jiang Shuyi nodded: "I will bring it to grandma in a moment."
"Grandma, let me tell you." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Shu Yi has put in a lot of effort. He has traced many of the more famous old houses in Jiachuan, including the window grilles, opera paintings, and Han brick paintings.
It's like a white line. I'm just preparing to honor your old man."
"Really?" The old man immediately felt that the scrambled eggs with shredded radish that Jiang Shuyi had given her were so fragrant: "That's really a compliment to Shu Yi. You guys have worked so hard on the book, so don't waste too much time on these things.
It’s time to work hard.”
"Grandma, I don't know how. We can't read all the time. We also need to relax." Jiang Shuyi said, "When I listen to the song, I just follow it easily. It's comfortable."
"Oh, that's good. I'll show it to grandma later. Shuyi, I'll pick out what kind of look you like, and grandma will make insoles for you."
"Okay, thank you grandma."
Zhang Xinyi was drinking porridge with a spoon and buried his head very low. He was obviously snickering because of Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi's singing.
In Zhou Zhi's evaluation, he is a plum blossom. Although he is deserted, at least he doesn't mind showing off his personality. He can let people who appreciate him see his personality clearly and he doesn't mind interacting with others.
Jiang Shuyi's temperament is that of an orchid, and she likes to hide herself in empty mountains and deep valleys, trying not to attract people's attention. It is very difficult for ordinary people to gain her recognition and acceptance.
So now, for Zhou Zhi, Jiang Shuyi can take the initiative to please Zhou Zhi's elders, which makes Zhang Xinyi feel a huge contrast.
The shape of Zhang Xinyi's eyes comes from Mrs. Zhao, they are big and soft, but her eyes come from Zhang Qingping, they are bright, clear and able to speak.
When she finished laughing and raised her head, her eyes when she looked at Zhou Zhi were full of teasing and contempt.
The two began to talk with their eyes.
Think carefully!
I want you to take care of it!
It depends on you what Shu Yi has become.
None of my business!
Humph! It’s just your idea, don’t deny it!
This is what I call rational suggestions!
That is so great...
Huh? What do you mean? I don’t understand...
Forget it if you don’t understand...
…
…
After dinner, Zhou Zhi sent the two of them home according to the regular route to eat while they were there. When they got home, their mother and father were already back.
My mother expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhou Zhi for making porridge for the family in the middle of winter: "I see you followed your fourth cousin to make recipes, but why are your skills getting worse? Is it the right time to have porridge in the middle of winter?"
Zhou Zhi was fooled by his mother's concept: "Mom, do you know how precious this porridge is? Scallop and squid porridge, it's cooked with high stock. It just takes your taste into consideration, and also adds sausages and vegetables. You don't want it?"
Is it okay to leave a negative review just by opening your mouth?"
"It's just fresher." Mom still frowned: "It's hard to just eat porridge without some staple food in the winter. I'm going to steam two big pig cakes. Your dad and I will have one each."
"Pig... pig cake..." Jiuzi was dissatisfied: "You just humiliate my seafood porridge..."
"If you want to steam cakes, my dear grandson will also steam one for me." When grandma heard that there were pig cakes to eat, she immediately changed her position with her dear grandson: "As long as the little ones are young, actually what I wanted to say before, the two girls are really good at it.
She is so delicate that she takes small sips of porridge, which makes it hard for me to even mention it."
This is a complete defeat of three to one. According to the old Zhou family's practice of democratic centralism, this pig cake must be steamed.
When we were eating papa, my mother said, "I've contacted your fifth uncle about the grapefruit you want. It's two hundred pounds. How do you get it?"
"It's easy. Aren't the youngest and fourth cousins going to the city tomorrow? I can ask Uncle Guan to borrow a car and let the youngest Wang drive."
"I noticed that you are talking more and more casually now, huh?!" Mom glared at Zhou Zhi: "You can borrow the car from the Sugar and Liquor Company if you want?"
"What does a sugar and wine company do?" Zhou Zhi said: "They are still selling sugar and wine, doing business, and talking about market economy."
"Uncle Guan is much better than Mom in this regard. The efficiency of the sugar and wine company is just that. As long as I pay rent and fuel, why wouldn't he?"
"Laoguan is actually quite good." Dad nodded while drinking the porridge: "The door-to-door delivery idea I told him has saved his life."
"Will you borrow a new car or an old car tomorrow?" At this point, my father thought of a question: "Don't make random requests to your Uncle Guan."
