Relying on the system of criticizing people to become a god in farming literature

Although Cheng Yao didn't look back, she could still feel that someone was approaching her.

"Xiaozhu, how is your house built?"

"I'm not done yet. There's tomatoes mixed with sugar on the table. Take a bite first to clear your mouth."

Xiaozhu sat obediently on a chair nearby, staring at the red fruit in front of him in a daze.

In his impression, he seemed to have never eaten such a thing.

Cheng Yao saw that there was no movement for a while, so she turned around and took a look.

I found that Xiaozhu didn't move, only observed silently.

Is it possible that no one in this world has discovered the deliciousness of tomatoes?

"It's not poisonous, but it's delicious. It's sour and sweet. You can try it."

Cheng Yao smiled and encouraged Xiaozhu to try new things.

Under Cheng Yao's instigation, Xiaozhu picked up a piece of cold tomato and put it into his mouth.

Tomatoes mixed with white sugar have a refreshing, sweet taste with a certain sour taste.

The sweetness and the sourness of tomatoes echo each other to create a unique taste.

Tomatoes have a soft texture on their own, but when mixed with sugar, they become richer.

The sweetness and sourness blend together, making every bite full of layers of flavor.

Cheng Yao looked at Xiaozhu's expression expectantly, hoping to get feedback.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, is it delicious?"

Xiaozhu's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows slightly raised.

"good to eat!"

As he said this, he wanted to stuff another mouthful into his mouth.

Cheng Yao took Xiaozhu's hand in time and stopped him from making any further movements.

"Hey, wait, I just want you to have a taste, don't let me eat it all."

"There will be something more delicious later, so I'll put this aside for now."

Although Xiaozhu was very eager, he did not persist and obediently let go of his hand.

Cheng Yao put the remaining sugar tomatoes aside and continued cooking.

Cheng Yao took some glutinous rice, spread it on the bottom of the pot, and fried it over low heat until golden.

The picked tomatoes are blanched in hot water to remove the outer skin that affects the taste.

Pour the fried glutinous rice into a deep jar, take out a wooden mallet, and keep pounding it inside.

Constantly changing the direction and controlling the strength, the golden glutinous rice with clear grains was crushed into fine powder.

After the cooked glutinous rice is pounded, pour it out and set it aside.

Then put the ginger, spicy millet, and garlic into it in sequence, and mash into even pieces as before.

The pungent smell suddenly filled the air, and Cheng Yao felt itchy at the tip of her nose.
In time, he turned sideways and sneezed.

"Ah-"

Just as the sound stopped, there was another sound.

"Ah-"

Cheng Yao and Xiaozhu looked up at the same time, looking at each other's slightly red noses, and couldn't help laughing.

After pouring out the condiments, Cheng Yao began to process the tomatoes.

Cheng Yao put five peeled tomatoes into the tank in one breath, and only stirred them briefly a few times before the juices flowed out.

After the tomatoes are completely mashed, add all the seasonings that have been processed before.

Finally add sugar and salt, put it in a clean jar and seal it.

After fermentation for a period of time, it becomes a honey sauce with a unique flavor.

Xiaozhu originally thought this was tonight's delicacy, but he didn't expect it to be a can of sauce that couldn't be tasted in a short time, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "Don't worry, dinner will be ready soon, take this jar of juice inside."

Cheng Yao handed the sauce to Xiaozhu and motioned for him to get up and help.

Xiaozhu got up obediently, held the jar and walked towards the bamboo house.

Cheng Yao then prepared the vegetables, cutting the onions and carrots into uniform small pieces, and cutting the tomatoes into even quarters.

In this mountain forest, it is easy to hunt pheasants and rabbits, but when it comes to beef, it may not even be easy to find cow hair.

Cheng Yao directly used the points to exchange for some beef in the mall.

Looking at the bright red beef with firm texture on the chopping board, Cheng Yao nodded with satisfaction.

The texture is fine, the meat is tender, and the fat content is moderate and evenly distributed. This kind of beef must taste very good!

Cheng Yao picked up the beef and examined it for a moment, determined the fiber lines, hung the knife edge above and cut it along the horizontal lines.

I saw her pressing the beef with her left hand, lowering the knife with her right hand, and using the push and pull cutting method to evenly divide the beef.

The edge of the knife is sharp and there is almost no obstruction, which is just the effort of raising and lowering the knife.

But if you want the beef to taste better in your mouth, you need to pay attention to some small details.

For example, some parts will have fascia attached to them, so the fascia needs to be removed first.

This kind of beef is easier to chew and won't tire your teeth like chewing a rubber band.

Although it is not ruled out that some people like that kind of taste, as far as Cheng Yao is concerned, she is too lazy to put in the effort, so it is easier to eliminate them all.

After the beef is clearly cut, add some green onion and ginger, as well as cooking wine, salt, grass fruit, and black pepper.

Then add these seasonings and beef together and rub evenly.

During the action, try to ensure that every piece of beef is perfectly mixed with the seasonings.

This step is mainly to increase the flavor of the beef.

After brewing for a period of time, tomatoes, onions, and carrots can be added and steamed together.

By the way, remember to add a little spice.

One bay leaf, one cinnamon bark, two star anise...

The amount of spices does not need to be large, it just plays a role in enhancing the flavor. If there are too many, it will overwhelm the flavor.

After everything was placed properly, Cheng Yao covered the pot and waited for the moment when the delicious food matured.

During this interval, she also soaked some vermicelli.

The previous tomato beef is not only used directly with rice, but also has a great flavor when soaked in vermicelli.

Cheng Yao planned to let Xiaozhu eat rice at night and eat rice noodles by herself.

After Xiaozhu put the juice into the bamboo house, he did not come back immediately. Instead, he stood there and continued to repair the bamboo house.

Cheng Yao held her chin and looked at the busy tall figure not far away, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't this person somewhat obsessive-compulsive?"

"There is a slight asymmetry between the two bamboos. You can't even tell it unless you look carefully. They were rubbed several times in his hands."

"It's pretty good, keep improving."

Cheng Yao was behind him, silently giving Xiaozhu a thumbs up gesture.

After a while, the pot began to bubble out gurglingly.

After smelling the fragrance here, Xiaozhu stopped worrying and hurried back to his place.

Hold a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other.

Just looking at his concentrated expression, people who didn't know better would have thought he was about to go to war.

Cheng Yao silently retracted her original evaluation of him.

Well, I’m not so obsessive anymore. At least when it comes to delicious food, everything else can step back a little bit...
