After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 47 Stir-fried vegetables haven’t appeared yet

After washing up, Erxi took out the warm porridge from the pot. The side dishes were salted duck eggs, steamed dried salted fish, sauerkraut, and a hard-boiled egg.

There are fish and eggs. Compared with the previous meals, it can be said to be very rich.

After breakfast, Erxi rolled up his sleeves, picked up the broom and swept the house inside and out.

In fact, the house is not dirty, Cui Niang cleans it every day, but Er Xi thinks that it is rare for him to come back, so he has to help clean up the house.

The already clean home was completely brand new after being tidied up by him. There was not a speck of dust as far as the eye could see, and all the furniture and items were arranged neatly. OCD felt comfortable after looking at it.

Even the orchid in the corner had its leaves polished until they were bright green.

When Lin Chunniang and others came back at noon, the table was already filled with dishes, all cooked by Erxi.

"Here, try this steamed pork rice dish I made. I secretly learned it from the restaurant chef."

Erxi gave everyone a piece of steamed pork.

The rice noodles used to steam the meat were grinded with a stone mill in the village in the morning, and the meat was made from fat and lean pork belly. After marinating, it was wrapped in rice noodles and put into the pot. It was steamed for about a quarter of an hour and then it was ready.

The rice noodles have absorbed the oil and are also stained with the meaty flavor, while the oiliness of the pork belly is neutralized by the rice noodles. When you bite into it, it is soft, waxy, delicate, and extremely delicious.

The Lin family were all conquered at the first taste and couldn't wait to grab a second piece.

In the past, their family couldn't even eat meat. This month, their living standards have improved significantly, but they can only eat it once in a while.

The method is either stewing or boiling. At most, some side dishes such as bamboo shoots and radishes are added to the broth.

This is the first time I know that you can grind rice into powder and steam it with meat.

Lin Chunniang: "Sure enough, city people know how to eat."

Erxi: "Sister, I will learn new dishes in the restaurant and cook them for you when I get back."

Lin Chunniang: "You also have to be careful. How can you learn the cooking skills of other chefs casually? If you are caught, you might get a beating."

Er Xi: "Don't worry, sister, I know how to measure. I always take a sneak peek while I'm serving food in the kitchen. And I didn't learn this in vain. I often help the masters with their work, run errands, and sometimes buy some food." Honoring them is like paying your tuition."

He had already planned to work hard as a waiter in a restaurant and learn cooking skills from those masters. Of course, it would be better if he could become a disciple.

When he saves enough money, he will set up a stall to sell food.

I heard that the owner of the restaurant also started from a small stall.

Others can do it, why can't he?
He didn't feel that he was any worse.

In the cradle, Lin Xi listened to the Lin family eating, smelled the aroma coming from there, and easily identified what dishes were on the table.

For a martial artist, it is trivial to identify positions by listening to sounds and identifying dishes by smelling smells.

Steamed pork, steamed fish, stewed chicken, stewed eggs...

Not a single stir-fry dish.

Thinking back to the dishes cooked by the Lin family before, they were either boiled or stewed, simmered or roasted, as if frying and stir-frying did not exist.

Thinking back to Lin Erxi's move to buy back the pottery cauldron, Lin Xi suddenly had a guess. In this era, cooking has not yet appeared, right?

Or maybe it appeared, but it didn’t become popular?
After all, cooking requires an iron pot and consumes a lot of oil, both of which are not cheap for ordinary families.

You have to ask Lin Wushang when he comes.

Before leaving, Erxi handed over the five hundred coins he had saved to Lin Chunniang, "Sister, please keep it for me."

It is not safe to carry this money with you, it is more secure to leave it at home.

Lin Chunniang: "You bought so many things and even bought food for the chef in the restaurant to show your respect. How do you still have so much money?"

Erxi: "Sometimes I run errands for customers, and they give me some rewards."

In addition, there are female guests who ask him to serve dishes by name and will reward him with extra money.The other guys were jealous of him, saying he was a pretty boy who would rely on his face to please women.

But there is no need to tell sister this.

Er Xi is not ashamed. This face was given to him by his parents. He is a natural face. He looks so lovable. Is it his fault?
He wouldn't deliberately use this face to do anything, but the guests were kind to him and rewarded him because of it, so why should he deliberately push it out?

He is not that aloof.

Cuiniang packed two packages and gave them to him, "Second brother, here are a set of clothes made for you, and some food for you. Here are the handkerchiefs and purses I embroidered. Can you help me take them to the county seat?" Sell ​​it?"

Yesterday, she heard her second brother talk about the county town. She noticed that prices in the county town were much higher than in the town. Maybe her embroidery would be sold at a higher price in the county town.

Erxi responded immediately: "No problem."

Lin Dayou punted his brother to take his brother to the town. When he passed the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, he happened to meet Liu Hong who was going to the town.

That is, Liu Zhaodi's youngest daughter, the girl who loves Lin Dayou.

"Brother Lin." Liu Hong's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Dayou, "Are you going to the town? I happen to be going to the town too, can you give me a ride?"

Lin Dayou shook his head and refused: "This boat is small and cannot carry three people."

In fact, although the boat was small, it could still carry three people, but he didn't want to.

There was a deep hatred between his family and the Liu family. He would not vent his anger on Liu Hong, an innocent person, but he also did not want to have anything to do with her.

But Liu Hong refused to give up such an opportunity to get up close and personal with her sweetheart, "I think there is still room on the boat. Why don't you take me for a ride? I jumped."

She caught up with him and tried to jump onto the boat.

Lin Dayou was afraid that she would really jump off, so he had to slow down the boat.

Liu Hong successfully boarded the boat, causing the boat to sway. She was momentarily unsteady and hurriedly reached out to grab Lin Dayou, who was as steady as a mountain.

Seeing that he didn't throw her away, she secretly laughed.

Lin Dayou was helpless. If he threw her away and caused her to fall into the water, wouldn't he have to fish her out?
By then, both of their clothes will be wet, which will not only cause misunderstandings, but may also make them sick, which is not worth the loss.

Erxi didn't have a good impression of anyone in the Liu family, and didn't want Liu Hong and his eldest brother to develop, so he reminded them lukewarmly: "Sit down quickly, be careful of falling into the water."

Liu Hong had no choice but to let go of Lin Dayou and sat down at the other end.

Lin Dayou stood on the bow deck to support the boat. His thin and tall figure was steady and his movements were easy and powerful. Liu Hong couldn't take his eyes away and his cheeks heated up.

After not seeing each other for a while, Brother Lin has become more handsome.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing in town?"

Lin Dayou said briefly: "Send Erxi to the pier to catch a boat."

Liu Hong didn't wait for him to answer her question. She felt lost for a moment and simply said it herself: "I went to the town to buy meat. My eldest brother will come back from the college on vacation tomorrow. My mother asked me to go to the town to buy some meat and cook it." Give it to him."

Liu Zhaodi loved her eldest son who was studying in the county academy the most. Even though she had not yet gotten over the grief of her husband's death, it did not stop her from being kind to her eldest son. Every time he came back, she would serve him delicious food and drinks.

Lin Dayou originally planned to have a good talk with his brother, but with Liu Hong, an outsider, it was inconvenient. He sped up the boat and arrived in the town in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Brother, I'm going to take the boat." Erxi waved to him.

Lin Dayou: "Well, be careful on the road."

His eyes turned to Liu Hong, who was still on the boat, "Aren't you going to buy meat?"

Liu Hong then reluctantly got off the boat.

Lin Dayou was about to punt and leave when a group of people suddenly rushed over.

"Okay, you dare to abduct my sister, Lin Dayou, you are tired of living, aren't you? Beat me!"
