Lao Qian shakily cut two pieces of meat and handed them to He Xiner, "Take them for cooking."
He Xiner quickly took it and said, "Hey, don't worry, I will do a good job."
Seeing that she had such a good attitude, Lao Qian didn't say anything else. This little girl's cooking skills were pretty good. Thinking of this, Lao Qian felt a little hungry. He looked at the sun outside and said, "Well, it's quick, your father and the others
Go fast with an ox cart”
"knew"
Is this old lady worried about her father and uncle being hungry, or is she just hungry for meat?
He Xiner was suspicious and went to the backyard with the meat and knife.
When they got to the backyard, He Xiner discussed with Mrs. Wang, "Mom, I want to make fried pork with chili pepper. Dad and uncle have been tired all morning, so I can make something spicy to go with the rice. Then I can make some vinegary shredded potatoes and hot bone soup.
One pot of pancakes is enough.”
"Well, that chili tastes great. Your father and uncle both like to eat it. How do you make vinegary potato shreds?"
"Mom, have you seen those two small jars? One is filled with soy sauce and the other is filled with vinegar. When frying meat, add soy sauce to make it taste more delicious. Chop the potatoes into shreds and stir-fry them with vinegar for a refreshing taste."
"Oh, my daughter is so awesome, she knows everything."
"Haha, I didn't learn this at Cuizhi's house. I just wanted to cook it for my parents."
Little Cuizhi is truly the universal scapegoat!
"My daughter is filial. Let's go pick vegetables."
"Uh-huh"
The two women chatted and laughed and went to the vegetable garden, picked a handful of peppers and dug seven or eight potatoes, which was enough to eat even if there were many people.
After returning home, my mother and I began to work hard. After washing the dishes, Mrs. Wang asked, "My mother has only cut potato slices and cubes, but not shredded potatoes."
He Xiner was staring at the potatoes and wondering how to peel them without a peeler?
It is said that potato chunks are better if they have skin on them and can be torn off, but there is nothing you can do about shredded potatoes. The most important thing is that the taste of shredded potatoes with skin will definitely be greatly reduced. Alas, what a worry!
When her mother asked about cutting potatoes into shreds, she didn't even think about the potato skins. The potatoes were very fresh, so even if they had some skin on them, it might not have much impact on the taste.
Without a paring knife, that's all I can think of.
"I saw Cui Zhiniang cut the potatoes into slices first, then stacked the potato slices on top of each other, and then cut them into shreds."
After He Xiner talked and gestured, Mrs. Wang understood, "Okay, mother, give it a try."
After cutting one, Wang became skilled in the movements of her hands, "My mother has never eaten such shredded potatoes."
"Haha, let me eat more later."
"My daughter's cooking is definitely delicious, and my mother is waiting to eat it."
"Haha, I will not disappoint my mother."
The vegetables to be used were all cut and set aside. Mrs. Wang started to light the fire, "Mother, heat up the bone soup first, and then you can stir-fry the vegetables."
Looking at the sun in the sky, there was no rush, so He Xiner readily agreed.
When the oxcart returned to Lao Ye's house, my mother and I had also prepared the meal. "Mom, do you want to serve the meal now?"
"We'll see what you say later. If there are outsiders, we can't serve at the table."
"Oh, that's it, okay"
Outside the courtyard, the old man who drove the cart unloaded the cart with the help of the two brothers from the Ye family and led the cattle into the front yard. "Boy from the Ye family, what kind of utensils can you use to pour some water for the cattle?"
The old man really loved his old friend very much. He hadn't drank water yet, and he was thinking about the cow first.
"Master, wait, I'll find a big wooden basin to fill with some water."
After agreeing, Ye Laiyin hurriedly went to fetch water for the cows.
Old Ye Tou from the main room also came out. Looking at the strong big oxen in the yard, he couldn't help but feel excited. It would be great if he could have an oxcart too!
Ye Feifeng, who was carrying a basket of pigweed, was stunned for a moment when she saw the cart outside the door. When she entered the yard, she saw another cow. Her face was filled with joy. Did her family buy a cow?
Then she heard her father call her, "Young girl came back just in time to get some grass to feed the cows."
Ye Feifeng's face looked ugly. Could it be that from now on she would not only have to cut grass to feed the pigs, but also the cows?
The cow is so edible, why should she be exhausted to death?
Seeing his daughter in a daze, Ye Laijin took some grass and fed it to the cow. Then he patted the cow's back and said with a smile: "Drink more water, eat more grass, I will count on you in the afternoon."
Ye Laiyin also brought a large basin of water, placed it on the ground, and smiled, "Old man, drink water."
The big ox wagged its tail, raised its head and looked at Ye Laiyin, and gave a long moo, which made Ye Laiyin and Ye Laijin laugh. Old Ye also had a smile in his eyes and stared at the big ox without blinking. This chapter has been completed!
