Abandoned wives of the Qing Dynasty

Ning Hua and Nanny Li went back to the yard. Seeing that Honghui's master and servant hadn't come back, they went to the kitchen together, preparing to cook some delicious food today, so that everyone could feel the rural atmosphere of spring.

Bai Shu and Bai Wei cleaned up Ma Lan's head, while she and Nurse Li cleaned up the wormwood.

Zhiwei was excitedly roasting the beggar chicken.

Although Ning Hua told her not to watch the fire, how could Zhiwei believe what Ning Hua said?

In case it was burnt, Er Niang said that her craftsmanship was not good enough.

How can I give up the rights I have won so easily?Do you think you are that little Si Si brother who has no knowledge?snort

Therefore, Zhiwei pouted her little butt excitedly, and leaned against the stove, staring intently at the piece of mud in the fire.

This beggar chicken was roasted by Ninghua for Zhiwei last time, and she couldn't forget it. Although Mammy Li's white-cut chicken, distiller's lees chicken, braised chicken nuggets, and chicken soup with mushrooms are also good, how can they compare? It's nothing compared to Beggar's Chicken.

In fact, Ning Hua also felt strange about this dish. When he went to the provincial capital, he also ate Beggar's Chicken in a well-known restaurant. Beggar's Chicken is their signature dish, so he naturally ordered it.

But people’s chicken is filled with gizzard slices, shrimp, diced ham, diced mushrooms and other ingredients and seasonings, then wrapped with fresh lotus leaves, pasted with soil, and baked for four to five hours.

In fact, to eat other people's signs, you have to order dishes in advance, or it just depends on your luck.Therefore, Ning Hua was able to eat that time because he was honored by others. Who told our best friend's boyfriend to be the son of the chef?

Although I was very happy to eat at that time, I always felt that it was not as delicious as in the legend. However, I didn't say anything in front of my best friend at that time, so as to save my best friend from saying that I got a cheap meal and pretended to be good.

As for the work for Zhiwei a few days ago, the main reason is that Madam Li didn't bring much materials.As for Zhiwei, they clamored for chicken again, so Ning Hua thought of Beggar's Chicken.

The chicken was not filled with anything else, it was just a very simple chicken, and then wrapped a layer of lotus leaves with the mud from the bottom of the nearby small river.Then it was thrown into the fire.

Zhiwei was still glaring at Ning Hua angrily at that time, thinking that Er Niang was going too far, to pass herself off like this, you don't want to cook it for yourself, and we don't mind eating white-cut chicken, although the taste is indeed a bit bad .In addition to soy sauce, there is no sesame oil and honey in the seasoning.

However, compared to you spoiling the chicken like this.We are still willing to try to make it difficult to eat white-cut chicken. Although it is a little bit reluctant, at least it is still mouth-watering! !

Therefore, Zhiwei looked at Ning Hua resentfully with those big black eyes, while still kept picking food into her own bowl.

We must fill our stomachs quickly, otherwise, we will feel even more sorry for the ruined chicken.

who knows.Not long after Ning Hua was thrown into the fire, the smell of the chicken came out from the mud.Yindewei also stopped her chopsticks.

And when the mud was dry, Ning Hua took the mud out of the fire, cracked open the mud and opened the lotus leaf. The smell of the chicken not only made Zhiwei salivate, but even Hong Hui who was always a vegetarian Get excited.

Therefore, in the end, Ning Hua only ate one wing of the whole chicken, and the other two little guys shared all the rest.

Afterwards, Ning Hua thought back and felt that the chicken from the well-known restaurant was really not as delicious as his own. There may be several reasons. First, they were farmed, and the chicken he ate was only domestic chicken.

Although the backyard Zhiwei didn't chase those chickens anymore, Ning Hua also ordered the breeders to let them drive the chickens more every day, and let them go into the water more often as for the ducks.

Life lies in exercise, and delicacy lies in activities. Therefore, those people in the backyard have been doing this all the time following Ning Hua's orders.

As for the second, Ning Hua thinks that the soil and lotus leaves are also related, what's the matter, are they all ancient and more natural?

What's more, some of the modern soil and lotus leaves are polluted by chemical raw materials, unlike the ancient soil and lotus leaves, they are completely natural, non-irritating, and pollution-free, which naturally guarantees the original taste of chicken.

As for the third, the chicken has its own beauty. If it is filled too much, adding seasonings and spices will only lose its pure beauty, but it will easily overwhelm the guests and cover up the deliciousness and sweetness of the chicken itself.

It is as delicious as what we made, it is definitely the effect of returning to nature.

Seeing that Zhiwei was so obsessed with watching the fire, Ning Hua ignored her and washed Ai with Nanny Li, then put it in a large pot and started to cook.

When cooking, if you want the color to look better, you can also put some alkaline water, and when cooking, you can’t cover it, otherwise, it’s easy to boil the mugwort leaves and turn them yellow.

After cooking, I took the rolling dough and mashed it into a paste, then put glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour in, and started kneading.

And the other girl has already prepared the stuffing, sesame and white sugar stuffing, and the other is salty, which is dried minced meat with pickled vegetables and tofu.

As for making this southern pastry, although Nanny Li did it once last year, she did so little and almost forgot about it. After all, she was too old to remember so much.

But Ning Hua still remembers Ai Dumplings and Ai Cakes. Who made himself a southerner, eating too much and watching too much in his previous life?

At that time, Ninghua's mother was still alive, and she especially liked to make things by herself. Since the mother and daughter were two in the family, they would cook more, and this kind of snack was always more delicious when it was steamed for the first time. , Therefore, after steaming each kind, I will give some neighbors a taste.

More times, the neighbors will bring some snacks to Ning Hua's home.

Ninghua's hometown belongs to that kind of large courtyard, so they can eat this kind of moi dumplings and moi cakes almost every half a month.

One of the advantages of living in modern times is that Ning Hua picked a big bag every day and brought it home. From before Qingming Festival to after Qingming Festival, it was basically enough to feed his own family and several neighbors for a year. .

Who made the vitality of wormwood strong, picked it today.After seven days, another large piece grew out, and Ning Hua's unit area was really too big. Anyway, Ning Hua remembered that many colleagues picked it with him at that time, but none of them were picked.

After all, there is a refrigerator, as long as the leaves are processed, kneaded into balls, and stored in the refrigerator.When you need it, you can still make moxa dumplings. Although the taste is not as good as fresh ones, it is still quite delicious.

This mugwort leaf has eaten too much.It is good for both women and the elderly.

And when the mugwort leaves get old, there is another advantage. You pick them up and put them at the door of the room, because of the smell of mugwort leaves.It can keep pests such as mosquitoes from entering the house.

Therefore, Ning Hua at that time.For Ai Ye, quite fanatical.

When Ning Hua and Li Mama finished making the Ai dumplings, Honghui and Rui Mama also came back, and Zhiwei's beggar's chicken had enough time to be baked.

So several people brought things to the table.

Although Zhiwei didn't play with Honghui very often these days, it didn't affect Zhiwei's willingness to share the Beggar Chicken with Honghui.

"Brother, I baked it. It's delicious, come and try it." Zhiwei enthusiastically pushed the plate to Honghui's eyes.Said very politely.

I'm not stupid, what if it's not good?

Ahem, I was wrong, I said my true intentions in a moment of excitement, but fortunately the rice people heard and saw it! !

What we mean is that, as the cutest Gege in the Qing Dynasty, we naturally have a good spirit of humility, respecting the old and loving the young.

Now there is no little four or four brother to let us love the young, so it is still okay to respect the elder brother, right?

Of course I have to let my brother taste it, I am really a rare good sister of brother Honghui! !

"Auntie serves the chopsticks first." Hong Hui knew the rules best, so he pushed the plate towards Ning Hua.

With Honghui's push, Zhiwei became impatient. This Honghui brother, but be honest, he would not steal his favorite chicken drumsticks, but Er Niang is not good, and he is the best at stealing other people's favorite food.

But brother Honghui pushed the plate towards Eniang, Zhiwei couldn't say anything, but could only watch Ninghua take a piece of chicken and ate it into his mouth.

"Well, that's right, come on, you two can eat together." Ning Hua gave Honghui and Zhiwei another piece of moi dumpling and moi cake on the plate.

Basically, Honghui may not be able to eat these southern pastries in the mansion, so it's good for others to try them.

And Zhiwei has always been disgusted with green food, who made green vegetables and other things that Zhiwei dislikes all be green?

From Zhiwei’s point of view, if he could eat it, he would not eat it, so he shook his head and started to eat chicken.

Fortunately, we are smart and roasted two chickens today, otherwise, we would really be hungry.

Er Niang is so disgusting, I have made so many dumplings and cakes, and some wild vegetables, I also put some into ordinary dumplings, how do we eat it? ?

I don't know what we don't like to eat, Er Niang is too partial! !

So, Zhiwei killed a chicken alone, while Ning Hua and Hong Hui shared a chicken. By the way, they each ate some moi dumplings and moi cakes. As for the Malantou, Hong Hui ate it with gusto.

A big plate of Malantou made Ning Hua and Honghui clean, and Zhiwei was astounded in his eyes.

Brother Honghui is so pitiful in the mansion. Look, a big plate of wild vegetables is so delicious. By the way, what's so delicious about this? I don't want to eat our roasted chicken! !

How talented we are, the first roast chicken was so successful and excellent! !

I know it, brother Honghui must not be able to eat such delicious roast chicken at home, although I dare not eat more, otherwise, I will become addicted, what should I do?

After all, Hui Zhi and Lan Xin don't know how to roast chicken like herself, do they?

Brother Honghui is so pitiful! !While gnawing on the chicken wings, Zhiwei thought to himself, let’s forgive brother Honghui, he must have had nothing to eat in the mansion, so he has been depressed and doesn’t pay much attention to himself.

That's right, they have a little brother, but I've heard from Qiya that Erniang likes small ones and doesn't like big ones, and my fourth aunt must have given all the delicious food to my little fourth brother, so, Hong Brother Hui is so hungry, even this kind of wild vegetables are so delicious, how can a little brother be so pitiful? ?

A few people had finished their dinner, and after the maids and women took down the utensils, Honghui came to ask Ninghua for the operation method of the moxa dumpling and Malantou in a serious manner.
