Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1521. Rapeseed Ham Soup

The ham and rapeseed soup that my seventh cousin mentioned is actually quite simple to make.

Early in the morning, we went to the riverbank to slaughter a fat and strong hen, and a young rooster that was raised last winter and was even stronger. We bled it, singed its feathers, and cleaned it up. The hen was used to make soup, and the rooster was kept for later use.

While stewing the soup, he also said, "Qiao Qiao, go to the mountain and dig some potatoes. Let's stew the potatoes with chicken for lunch and make some pancakes - white pancakes or shortbread?"

"Shortbread, shortbread!" Zhang Yanping was having breakfast and responded immediately: "The pancakes I had before were all white and yellow flour pancakes, this time I want a crispy one!"

Qiao Qiao was a little hesitant: "The potatoes haven't grown up yet..."

These potatoes were planted in February. The temperature was low in the early stage and they grew slowly. They are edible now, but they can only be harvested in June or July. If they are harvested one or two months earlier, the potatoes will probably be very small.

"It's okay." Song Tan urged him: "Go dig it. We planted a lot this year and can't eat it all."

Qiao Qiao probably had a deep impression of how he planted whatever he wanted last year and sold it to make as much money as possible. Therefore, whether it was picking rapeseed flowers in the spring or digging potatoes now, he felt very distressed.

Uncle Seven said "hmm". He was old and thought Qiao Qiao was good in every way. He said, "It's a good thing to save resources and food. Our Qiao Qiao is so good!"

Song Tan: ...She is my biological sister, what can she say?

As expected, Yang Zhengxin also followed happily, bringing along the live broadcast equipment. The sound of the two laughing and joking could be heard in the cool morning breeze:

"Come on! Let me give you a preview. We'll dig potatoes and open blind boxes later."

"The potatoes are so small..."

"Well, they can't eat them anyway if you don't sell them. The watermelons from yesterday's lottery were enough to make them happy... How about potatoes today?"

"…They haven't grown up yet…"

"What are you afraid of? You said the prize would be mailed in two months!"

As Lu Chuan opened the live broadcast room with familiarity, he asked curiously: "Are we going to use chicken soup to cook the rape flowers at noon?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Seven was quite dissatisfied: no matter how frozen the rapeseed flowers were, they were not as fresh as when they were just picked. He thought about it and simply asked Song Tan again: "How about... you take some time to go to the rapeseed field and slowly pick a pot of it?"

Song Tan: ...

She looked at Lu Chuan, who slowly shook his head: "I have to work in the morning... I'll probably finish at 9:30 to 10 o'clock. Is it in time?"

He gets up early every day and works out at home. After having breakfast, he goes back to the B&B to help Lu Jing. He starts working at about eight o'clock. He has a self-disciplined schedule and the time may change slightly, but the process remains the same and is basically not interrupted.

Everyone is aware of this.

Song Tan was impatient to do such delicate work. The rape flowers in their area bloomed in March and April, and now it was May, and they had basically withered. If he went to the rape fields to look for the fish that had escaped the net, he had to find tender rape flowers...

It would be fine if it was just one plate, but they eat by the basin.

So she picked up the phone decisively: "I'll call Yang Zhengxin."

The young guys are full of energy and they probably wouldn’t mind playing in the rapeseed fields again.

Looking at the live broadcast room again, the preview name has become——

[Good morning, workers! Let’s open the potato blind box together! ]

Song Tan couldn't help but burst out laughing: Young kids are really energetic in doing anything!

8 o'clock is indeed the time when the working cows and horses are awake.

As soon as the live broadcast room opened, the number of viewers surged rapidly, which was much better than yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Qiao Qiao and Yang Zhengxin bypassed the many partitions in front and came to a flat rapeseed field. Now there were no bright rapeseed flowers, but large green rapeseed pods.

【??? Isn't it a potato blind box?】

[I know this question! Potatoes and rapeseed are intercropped, right? ]

[Can this be intercropped? This intercropping is so dense, where will the potatoes get sunlight? ] Yang Zhengxin quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, we need to pick some rape flowers first and then dig potatoes..."

He turned the camera in all directions and said, "It's really hard to find tender rapeseed flowers now. If you delay for half a day, your chances will be reduced. If you want to wait to open the potato blind box, it will probably take an hour. After picking this basket, go dig potatoes."

As he spoke, he raised the basket in his hand again.

Studio:【……】

[May? This rapeseed field? Picking rapeseed flowers? This basket? ]

[Wow, the buffs are stacked up! Look at your green land. How many yellow flowers are there? ]

[It’s true that we should eat more spring vegetables in spring, but they are out of season now.]

Yang Zhengxin picked out some questions and read them out. Qiao Qiao smiled shyly, "Seventh cousin said that the ham and rapeseed soup for lunch was not fresh enough, so he asked us to look for some."

He gestured: "The plump hen is used to make soup, the chicken meat is taken out to make spicy chicken snacks, and the ham slices are cooked in chicken soup - when it is almost ready to be served, the rape flowers are put in to dip, it is very fresh and delicious!"

Many workers who haven't had time to eat breakfast:

【I know】

【Just eat, why describe it? 】

【Killing people and destroying their hearts! 】

[Host, is this why you started the live broadcast so early in the morning? To make me a greedy girl? ]

[I was hungry but didn’t have time to eat breakfast. I could only take a cup of black coffee outside the company and continue to work like a slave... Have you ever thought about how I feel? ]

Not to mention the live broadcast room, even Yang Zhengxin swallowed his saliva secretly.

He arrived late, so he obviously missed the chance to eat the rapeseed flowers in the spring. Now he can only imagine it.

that……

"The hen is stewed in soup, and the rooster is braised and served with small biscuits?"

"Yeah!" Qiao Qiao nodded: "The small shortbread made by my seventh cousin is delicious. It's as big as a palm. I can eat ten of them in one meal!"

It was obvious that he had learned it before, but his level of proficiency was not good enough. Now he did not forget to teach it to the children, and it was obvious that they could learn it.

"Put ghee in the dough and knead it repeatedly, and sprinkle sesame seeds on it - our sesame seeds are so fragrant! After the pan is heated, the ghee and dough expand. When you take a bite, the outside is crispy and the inside is still tender..."

Yang Zhengxin: “…Gulp.”

Looking at the live broadcast room again, the screen was full of tearful accusations, it was like snowing in June!

Yang Zhengxin has not yet entered the workplace, but he is a 5G surfer. He knows all the hot memes about well-known workers on the Internet, and he can't bear it at this moment.

He quickly changed the subject: "Why don't we just pick rape flowers? This takes time, and if there really aren't enough, why don't we just use the ones we froze before?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head: "I'd better try to find one. The frozen ones taste a little different. They are suitable for blanching and mixing with chili peppers, sesame oil, etc. They are so refreshing to eat!"

"But this taste is not suitable for hot pot ham soup."

Yang Zhengxin: ...He doesn’t even dare to look at the comments.

Come on! See you tomorrow!
