Chapter 445 Menu
The first thing An Yue thought about was the food available at home.
She took out her little notebook, placed it on the table and began to record the ingredients she needed to prepare.
The first dish she thought of was the most distinctive and innovative ingredients in her home - bacon and sausage.
The bacon and sausage are not only novel, but also delicious.
So she wrote down the first dish in a small notebook.
After recording, An Yue held her chin with one hand and looked out the window at the fields.
Suddenly I thought of the Houttuynia cordata on the edge of the field, which now has small tender sprouts.
An Yue decided to make another dish of stir-fried houttuynia and bacon.
As she continued her thoughts, she soon remembered the time she and Chunzhi went to the back mountain two days ago and picked some wood ears and lichens.
Lichens are rare and not something you can eat whenever you want.
So she decided to make another dish of lichen fried eggs.
After having fried eggs with lichen, An Yue decided to stir-fry another dish with green pepper, shredded pork and black fungus.
Since there were enough peppers in the fields last fall, An Yue picked them, blanched them, made pickled peppers, and put them in jars, which she kept in the cellar.
An Yue decided to make another dish of green pepper and preserved egg, which is refreshing and degreasy.
An Yue took a look and saw that the small notebook only recorded five dishes, including those from two families plus An's own family.
Not only should there be a wide variety of dishes, but you should also make more of each dish.
It is not enough to stir-fry pork alone, chicken and fish are also needed.
Because I sold a golden and jade marriage to Manager Wang a few years ago, I think it has spread in the county.
An Yue decided that they should try the authentic and genuine Golden Jade Marriage.
Steamed, stir-fried, cold-mixed, deep-fried and stewed are all available, but it seems that fish is still missing.
The taste of cooking fish, now in the county, stewed fish is no longer a rare dish. An Yue wanted to make pickled fish, but there was no pickled cabbage at the moment.
So, An Yue agreed with them that day to make a sweet and sour fish.
Speaking of fish, when he was at his grandfather's house that day, Lin Hao joked that he wanted to eat fried crispy fish.
So, at that time, I asked my uncle Jiang Chenghai to help me catch a few big fish and some small fish in the pond and bring them back home.
An Yue is a little worried now, wondering whether her uncle can handle this matter.
Make one dish of deep-fried crispy fish, another dish of crispy peanuts for them to drink with, and the last one is boiled and salted pork belly.
An Yue carefully checked the dishes recorded in the small notebook.
There are all kinds of dishes, but there is no soup to clear the mouth.
After much thought, I thought that I had grown some bean sprouts at home, so I might as well make a bean sprout and pork soup.
In this way, the table will be full of meat, so we might as well stir-fry some bean sprouts.
By this calculation, there are twelve dishes.
They are; steamed sausage, fried bacon with houttuynia cordata, fried lichen with eggs, stir-fried green pepper and shredded pork with black fungus, a perfect match, green pepper and preserved egg, sweet and sour fish, fried crispy fish, fried peanuts, salted pork belly, bean sprout and pork soup, and stir-fried bean sprouts.
After the dishes were planned, she stood up and decided to take inventory of the ingredients available at home to ensure that each dish would go smoothly.
The first step is to carry the bamboo basket to the cellar in the backyard.
When I opened the cellar, a wave of warm air hit me in the face.
She picked out some preserved eggs, pickled green peppers and potatoes.
Then he counted the various dishes and prepared the ingredients and spices needed for the dishes.
She asked A'er and Daniu to kill and clean the chickens they would use.
......
In this way, one person was busy preparing for a whole morning, and finally prepared all the ingredients and spices needed.
Next, I just have to wait until tomorrow morning to show off my cooking skills.
The next day, early in the morning.
After the family had breakfast.
An Yue tied on an apron and led the family to prepare lunch.
She directed the family members in an orderly manner, cutting and washing all the ingredients needed and placing them on the chopping board nearby.
Chunzhi cleans lichens and wood ears. Lichens taste delicious, but they are also very troublesome to clean.
Daniu and Ale were washing bacon and sausages.
Grandma was passing firewood under the stove. One iron pot was cooking chicken for the golden marriage, and another iron pot was cooking salted pork belly.
After the chicken and pork belly are cooked, cook the bacon and sausage.
My aunt-in-law helped cut meat slices, green peppers, ginger, garlic, and process the preserved eggs.
An Yue is making seasoning for a perfect marriage.
In this way, the family was busy.
After a while, the kitchen began to be filled with the aroma of bacon, sausage and chicken.
......
Time always passes quickly, and an hour has passed.
An Yue prepared various seasonings and placed them aside.
Just then, Daniu and Ale heard laughter coming from not far away.
"Miss, it seems that the relatives are here."
An Yue made a simple arrangement of what needed to be done inside and outside the kitchen.
Then, he walked straight out of the yard gate.
From a distance, I could see Jiang's maternal grandfather and his family walking towards the yard.
An Yue hurriedly shouted in the yard: "Niannian, grandpa and his friends are here."
After hearing this, An Nian quickly responded, "Okay! I'll be right out."
Then, the brother and sister hurried forward, and An Yue shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, you are finally here."
Uncle Jiang Chenghai held the cleaned fish in both hands and joked, "Yueyue, are you complaining that we're late?"
"The main reason is that I'm really looking forward to your coming." An Yue said, reaching out to take the fish from her uncle's hand.
When uncle Jiang Chenghai saw An Yue reaching out, he quickly dodged and said lovingly, "This fish smells too fishy, don't take it, little smart."
An Nian walked into the yard with a smile on his face, holding his grandfather's left hand and his grandmother's right hand, talking and laughing.
A'le took the fish from Jiang Chenghai's hand, and An Yue told A'le what to do.
My grandfather and his family were sitting in the main hall, drinking tea.
An Yue seemed to hear a familiar voice coming from outside the yard again, and she hurried out to see.
I saw that it was the Lin family who came.
She hurried back to the yard and said, "Grandpa and grandma, Uncle Lin and his family are here."
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you to welcome them." Grandfather said, standing up from the bench.
"Niannian, come with me to greet the elders."
An Nian responded: "Okay!"
After saying that, he hurriedly tidied up his appearance and prepared to go to receive relatives with his sister.
The brother and sister walked forward quickly. An Yue smiled and bowed, saying, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, Brother Lin Hao, everyone is welcome to visit the An family."
An Nian also bowed and said, "Welcome, elders. Hello, elders."
Lin Qingxue said with a kind smile: "Okay, okay, good boy, our whole family is really here!"
Grandfather laughed heartily from behind An Yue and responded, "Haha, good, good, good, what are you talking about, brother Lin? You should come."
