I have become popular in modern times with food

The two exchanged secret words, saying they were expressing their affection for each other, but it always seemed that they were separated by such a layer of veil.

Even so, Yu Jian was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. When it was daylight, she squinted for a while, and was woken up by the sound of Yu Yuan's kitten scratching the door.

After opening the door, he climbed back to the bed and hugged the quilt in a daze.Yu Yuan kicked off his shoes familiarly and climbed into the bed, propped his head up and looked at her seriously.

Yu Jian was shivered by the cold wind brought by him lifting the quilt, and asked him amusedly, "What are you doing?"

Yu Yuan looked and looked suspiciously, always feeling that there was something wrong with her, but he couldn't tell, so he could only act as a mouthpiece: "Grandma is calling you for breakfast."

Yu Jianguo got up early in the morning and simmered porridge in a casserole. The rice grains were thick and soft, and he added raw fish slices, sliced ​​into thin slices, crystal clear, and the fish skin was slightly rolled up, blooming like plum blossoms in the twelfth lunar month.

Yu Jian drank two bowls in a row before putting down her chopsticks in satisfaction, "Drinking sashimi porridge in cold weather is really comfortable."

Yu Yuan chewed the side dishes and nodded desperately, then took a big mouthful of warm fish porridge with a snort.

"Grandma, where's Xiao Yuanzi?" In the blink of an eye, Yu Yuan disappeared, and Yu Jian sat beside grandma, watching her hook the wool in her hand.The little finger is wrapped with a coil, and the index finger is pressed against the hook needle, once, again.

The old lady knits clothes for the children of the family every year, ranging from sweaters to small socks. Even though it is very convenient to buy things now, Yu Jian still likes to wear the wool socks she knits. The thin and soft cotton threads are connected to the seams. Very smooth.

She held the old lady's hand, and the back of her hand was a little cold, so she quickly covered her again to warm her up.Grandma Yu's palms were not soft, they were slightly calloused, a little rough, but it unexpectedly softened Yu Jian's heart.

Grandma Yu smiled, put down the needle in her hand and patted the back of her hand, "Xiao Yuanzi took Rhubarb out to play, and he didn't let him run away. There are people watching in the alley."

Since Rhubarb came to Yu's small courtyard, apart from the smaller space for activities, he is really at ease. Within a few days, he has already looked like a big brother in the alley.A few days later, another group of human cubs were subdued, and now they are a proper alley tyrant.

Even Yu Yuan, who has some hair allergies, bows to its mighty majesty. In addition to serving delicious food and drinks every day, he also plays the role of companion.

Yu Jian was amused in her heart, and felt that this rhubarb was really on the verge of talking.

Didn't it mean that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one was allowed to become a master?
Feeling lazy today, Yu Jian didn't want to go to the restaurant anymore, so she simply brought a small blanket, covered half of Grandma Yu's body, and wrapped the other half around herself, enjoying this rare tender moment.

The old lady smiled faintly at the rare shy look on her face.

Just after ten o'clock, the alley began to smell a stewed aroma, Yu Jian sniffed it, hugged the pillow and smiled: "Pig trotters, fatty intestines, and pork ribs, there are a lot of things in this big pot~ "

Grandma Yu looked up at her through the reading glasses: "There are everything in the refrigerator, if you want to eat, we can also make a pot."

Yu Jian lifted the blanket, and ran into the kitchen with her slippers on. She opened the freezer and saw that everything was there, and it was frozen with broth. She rolled her eyes and shouted outside: "Grandma , shall we have steamed buns for lunch?"

"Okay, you have the final say."

Hulutou steamed buns in Xishi are famous all over the world, especially in winter, whether it is local residents or tourists from other places, they all line up to drink a bowl.

The gourd head is actually fat intestines. It is said that Sun Simiao, the sage of medicine, came back from collecting medicines. He was so hungry that he ordered a bowl of fried white sausages in the market. The taste was heavy and greasy, so he took out the cinnamon from the gourd hanging on his body. , Xidaxiang, Hanyinjiao and other aromatic and stomach-invigorating medicines have made a qualitative change in the taste of white sausage. Since then, there have been an endless stream of customers. In order to thank Sun Simiao, the store changed its name to "Hulutou".

Of course this is just a legend.But judging from the shape, the pig's large intestine is rich in fat, and it looks a bit like a gourd. It is not unusual to have such a name.

Delicious gourd heads should be made with fresh pig intestines. Yu Jian didn't want to go to the vegetable market in this cold weather, so he took the large intestines, pork belly and pork bones from the refrigerator to defrost.Taking advantage of the thawing time, I made the noodles first.

Yu Jian compared the difference between Hulutou steamed buns and mutton beef steamed buns, and the noodle cake is the key step.The mutton and beef noodles are made of dead noodles, which are thick, while the gourd head steamed buns are made of fermented noodles, which are soft.

It is still warm water and noodles, add yeast and knead evenly, wait for a while to ferment, knead again, squeeze out a small dose, press it into a cake shape, and then bake it slowly over a low heat.When the noodle cake is made, a small mark will appear, and you can eat several pieces without soaking in the soup.

Blanch the pork bones first, clean them, put them in clean water, and simmer slowly over a slow fire. During this period, in addition to skimming off the foam, pork belly and pig intestines are also added, and then cinnamon and other ingredients are added until the soup turns milky white. .

The large intestine of the pig should be boiled till soft, poke it with chopsticks to form a small hole, take it out and cut it into small pieces, then cut the same cooked pork belly into a shape that is as wide as your palm and as thick as your thumb.

As soon as Yu Yuan walked into the small courtyard, he smelled a strong aroma of bone broth. He patted Rhubarb on the head: "Today I have a good meal again, my sister must be delicious."

Rhubarb sticks out its tongue and pants heavily. After playing, it comes with delicious food. Immortals don't live as comfortably as it does! !
Sure enough, Wu Guoliang didn't lie about it, and the little girl did have bones to chew on, no, he didn't eat less meat——

"Sister, what are you doing delicious?" Yu Yuan opened the kitchen door, poked his head in and asked, followed by an eager dog's head.

Yu Jian was burning fungus and vermicelli, so busy that she didn't raise her head, "Your nose is quite sharp, and you came back after smelling it?"

Is that okay?
If you don't eat actively, you have brain problems.

On the dining table, Yu Yuan put the steamed buns that had been broken into small pieces into four sea bowls, and one of them put a little more on purpose. He had selfish intentions, and he was still growing, so he wanted to eat more.

"Sister, I'm done!" Yu Yuan yelled, and jumped off the chair to wash his hands first.

Yu Jian came out and took the bowl into the kitchen, first put the fungus, vermicelli, large intestine and pork belly, and then poured a large spoonful of bubbling broth until the steamed buns absorbed the soup, then sprinkled a little pepper and salt, poured Add sesame oil and scallions, and then serve it on the table again.

Yu Yuan didn't have time to shake off the water in his hands, so he ran over in a hurry, shouting "big yellow", and saw a yellow figure drifting by like the wind, and when he fixed his eyes, he was already sitting upright feet.

Yu Jian couldn't help laughing, and quickly took the big bone with meat that was stewed for it alone, and added a piece of fat and tender pork belly, put it in the dog bowl, and put it in front of it.

Rhubarb yelled "Wow, woof" and couldn't wait to eat it.

Yu Yuan on the other side also moved his chopsticks. He took a mouthful of the fresh soup first. The soup was rich, spicy with pepper, and as smooth as milk. Then he tasted the large intestine, which was smooth and fragrant.The steamed buns are soaked in the soup, they are soft and soft, one bite, the juice is overflowing...

He quietly buried his head in hard work, not even refusing to say a word.

"Oh, why is it snowing again? There are so many snow days this year—" Mama Yu closed her umbrella and shook the snowflakes falling on her shoulders.

He sniffed and asked, "Why is it so fragrant?"
