Chapter 51 Lard Stir-Frying Vegetables
Nangong Yao was about to take a bean paste bun to her sister when she saw something on the cutting board and said: "Ah, white meat, sister, we just ate pheasant meat yesterday, do we want to eat meat again tonight? What's wrong with this kind of meat?"
Is it white? I’ve never eaten this kind of meat.”
Nangong Anshan laughed and said: "Good boy, the way to eat this meat is different from the ordinary ones. When I cook it later, you will know that it can make a lot of delicious food."
Although there is no cooking in Qinglong Kingdom, people used to use suet as ordinary meat to grill and eat.
But later people discovered that suet contained too much oil, and some people used suet for daily necessities.
Apart from her, there probably weren't many people who boiled out all the oil and planned to cook and eat it.
Nangong Yao saw that her sister was boiling the oil conscientiously, and was too embarrassed to disturb her. She gave the red bean paste buns to others, and then sat with her family members and ate quietly.
After Nangong Sheng and Nangong Xiu finished eating, they started to find things to do by themselves.
Nangong Anshan waited for her second and third brothers to finish their work, and then asked her brothers to help her cut vegetables.
They had already prepared the firewood, so she didn't have to worry.
More than half an hour later, she had boiled the lard and poured it all into the container she had prepared.
Then she planned to cook with lard.
As for the refined oil residue, she plans to make it into small snacks for her children to eat tomorrow morning. If they can't finish it, she will share it with the children of other neighbors.
Since the dishes had been prepared in advance, she started cooking directly.
The pots in Qinglong Kingdom were not suitable for cooking, but for the sake of her own taste, she still asked Taile Boy to give her two special pots for cooking.
The wok was unlocked when we were escaping, and it didn't cost any merit. Now you can take as much as you want.
Although the family members were curious, they didn't ask any more questions, thinking it was a pot unique to King Li's fiefdom.
Half an hour later, she had five stir-fried dishes ready, and she also made a mushroom sliced egg drop soup.
She didn't leave the stove empty either, and put A Niang's and Third Brother's medicine on it to boil.
Nangong Xiu said: "Ashan, from now on it is up to me to make the medicine myself. I can also make the medicine. You all work so hard, so I have to find something to do."
Nangong Anshan knew that Third Brother didn't want people to think that he was a waste who couldn't do anything, so she nodded, "Okay, Third Brother, but you have to add a little water from the bamboo tube every time, that way the effect will be better."
Nangong Xiu didn't ask why and nodded directly, "Okay."
The table and mats were just bought by Nangong Anshan. They couldn't fit in the tent, so they were temporarily placed outside. It wouldn't be too late to build a tent tomorrow, since it didn't rain tonight anyway.
It was not popular in this era to use chairs, so people basically sat on cushions to eat.
Nangong Anshan went in and took Yang Ruolan out, placing two large cushions next to her so that her clothes would not be stained.
Turning around, she saw everyone enjoying the smell of the food.
"Ashan, the food you cooked is so fragrant. I just saw that you put oil in it."
"What is this recipe? It's more delicious than the dishes you made before."
"This smells really good, it must be delicious."
…
Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "This is stir-fry. I guess you have never seen it before. It was taught to me by the gods. Now I only have lard, so I can only use this for the time being. When I make vegetable oil, the stir-fry tastes the same as
This is even more different. Some dishes are more delicious when fried in vegetable oil."
Nangong Xiu looked at Nangong Sheng blankly: "Second brother, why can't I understand what Ashan said?"
Nangong Sheng said: "I don't understand a little bit either."
Nangong Anshan coughed slightly and said: "Anyway, I will make more delicious dishes for you to eat in the future. These dishes are fried meat with bamboo shoots, fried meat with leeks, fried meat with fungus, and Chinese cabbage with vinegar.
Stir-fried baby cabbage, everyone knows the soup next to it, which is mushroom slices and egg drop soup. Let’s eat quickly. Vegetables stir-fried with lard should be eaten while they are hot, as they will solidify when cold.”
It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She also wanted to make the delicious food she had in her previous life, but there weren't many seasonings here.
For example, chili, star anise, garlic, pepper, cumin, etc., she has never seen on the mountain so far, not even soy sauce.
Yang Ruolan picked up her chopsticks, took two bites of the fried pork with bamboo shoots, nodded and said, "Not bad, it's delicious. Let's all eat it."
All the children immediately picked up the dishes quickly.
Initially, they thought the taste was similar to cooked food, but they didn't expect the stir-fried vegetables to be so delicious. As soon as they took a bite, everyone couldn't stop, and everyone was rushing to pick up vegetables to eat.
“Delicious, so delicious.”
“It tastes really good.”
"It's more fragrant than boiled water."
“It’ll be great if you can eat it every day from now on.”
…
Hearing the compliments from her brothers and sisters as if they were free of charge, Nangong Anshan was in a great mood, "I will do it for you when I have time in the future. If you want to learn, I can also teach you. But I think,
You'd better learn all my skills, so that you can make delicious food yourself when I'm not at home."
Where are we now? When she finds all the seasonings in the future, they will be eager to swallow the dishes made with those seasonings.
Everyone said one after another: "I am willing to learn."
"I want to make it for grandma and sister to eat."
"Me too."
"Me too."
Yang Ruolan was immediately overjoyed.
Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "Okay, I will teach you how to cook vegetables when I have the opportunity."
"Um."
The family continued to eat, and soon all the food on the table was eaten.
Nangong Cheng and Nangong Mo took the initiative to wash the dishes.
However, it was difficult to clean the oily bowl, so Nangong Anshan asked them to use soap locust and plant ash to clean it.
Although it is not as good as the dishwashing liquid of the previous life, it is still better than nothing.
Nangong Xiu and Yang Ruolan waited for a while and then drank the medicine.
The family tidied up briefly, ate in the fence, and went to bed.
That night, everyone slept very comfortably.
The next day, the family had eaten the snacks that Nangong Anshan had brought back yesterday, and was about to continue going to the mountains to collect herbs while studying her oil press when they heard the sound of a gong.
She also roughly guessed why Li Zheng gathered them, asking the third brother not to forget to boil the medicine, and asking the second brother to protect them. She walked over with her two younger brothers.
Zhou Lizheng waited for a while, and when he saw that people were almost here, he said: "Everyone, you must also know the purpose of why I asked you to come. Last time, Mrs. Qiu took out a gold bracelet and asked me to buy food and distribute it to everyone.
Atonement.”
"And the gangsters we met last time allowed us to collect ten taels of silver. After I got the household registration documents yesterday, I sent my children to the city to exchange all the gold bracelets and silver for food.
Let’s start distributing food to everyone now.”
