Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 28 Miscellaneous Fish Pot
Mu Xiang wiped off the mud from her hands, took the shoes in her hand, and looked at them over and over again. To be honest, even if she had never made shoes, she knew that the shoes made by Damei were not good-looking. It's too big, but overall it's pretty good.Mu Xiang handed her the shoes, picked up leeks, and asked, "The paste sole is just a layer of cloth and a layer of paste, repeated over and over again, several layers of paste, isn't it?"

"Well, that's why people call it thousand-layer bottom. As for how much to paste, it depends on yourself, but if the paste is too thick, it will be inconvenient to walk; if the paste is too thin, it will wear out after a long time. I generally Just paste four or five layers, and add another piece when cutting the shoe pattern, about six yuan will be enough," Damei went on stitching again.To accept the sole of the shoe, you must first use an awl to make a hole in the sole, and then pass the needle and twine through it.Oh, this hemp thread is also rubbed by myself, one end is hung on the nose of the door, and the other end is rubbed in the hand. The soles made of this kind of thread are more durable.

Mu Xiang carefully searched for the process of making shoes in her mind, and after watching Damei's actual operation, she roughly understood it.Suddenly, she remembered something again, "Damei, do you know any house that has a puppy? I want to take a dog home and raise it as a caretaker."

Da Mei laughed, "How do you know that my bitch just had a litter of puppies, and I was worried that there would be too many puppies to give away, so you came here, and we really understand each other!"

Mu Xiang said: "Yes, we are in the same mind, you can give me one in the future, and choose the hot-tempered one, who is too warm-tempered, so I don't like the door."

Damei agreed, "Success, I'll go back to collect the clothes later, and bring them to you when I come back."

Mu Xiang remembered that there was an old father in Damei's house, they both came out, how could she ask her father to cook alone at night, and said: "Then when you go back, let Uncle Lin come to eat together, so as not to save him One is burned at home, but you have to bring a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks, I only have three sets at home, and I have to go to the market in two days, and many things are missing!"

Damei was not too polite, "Okay, then I will go back and ask my father to help with the work, and when the adobe is finished drying, he will also come to help you repair the courtyard wall. As for the chopsticks, I have a lot of chopsticks in my house, and they are all bamboo chopsticks. My brother cut and peeled the bamboo himself. I’ll give you some later. As for the bowls, there’s nothing extra, but it’s no problem if we come to eat and bring our own bowls. My brother is going to the county seat tomorrow. Selling bamboo baskets, he is driving the donkey cart, do you want to join him? It will save you walking!" She spoke quickly, crackling, like setting off firecrackers, a bunch of them.

Mu Xiang's eyes lit up, she was worrying about going to the town to run on two legs, and she couldn't carry too many things on her back. If there is a donkey cart, it would be the best, and she should accept it.

Damei rushed outside and shouted, "Brother, Mu Xiang will go to town with you tomorrow!"

"Ah, I see!"

Mu Xiang sped up the action of choosing leeks, and Damei also put down the soles of her shoes to help her choose, and then asked her what she would have for dinner tonight.Mu Xiang smiled and didn't answer, she just said that you will know when the time comes.

Choosing clean leeks, Caiyun took them to the pond behind and washed them.Mu Xiang was busy with the fish and shrimps to be dried, and had to reconcile the cornmeal.When Caiyun brought the leeks back, Mu Xiang was already cutting the peppers.

Caiyun was curious about how she would make tortillas, "Sister, how do you make these leeks?"

Holding the kitchen knife, Mu Xiang thought for a while, "Leeks will be fried in the pot later, add red pepper, and also make some lard, dip it in oil, and make corn tortilla stuffing, it's delicious. How about you help me with the cornmeal!"

"Hey," Caiyun rolled up his sleeves, and took a basin to scoop up cornmeal in the back room.

After Mu Xiang had cut the ingredients, she went around to the back of the pot hole, lit the fire, and added some firewood.Then go around to the top, wait for the remaining water in the pot to dry up, pour in vegetable oil, and then take out some lard from the lard tank.The lard has just been marinated, and it still has a salty taste, so the woody fragrance is added. Later, I crushed the lard residue that was refined and mixed it with the stuffing. It must be very fragrant.

Not long after, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen. Wang Xi and Chang Shuan were working outside the courtyard wall. When they smelled the smell of lard, they both laughed.

Chang Shuan was squatting on the ground, holding an adobe mold in both hands, while Wang Xi was adding mud into it with a shovel.Changshuan was close to Wang Xi, so of course he knew what he was thinking, and teased him with a smile: "Seeing Mu Xiang today, I think she has changed a lot, and she is getting better at living. There was nothing in this house before, but now it is. Dare to invite us to dinner."

Wang Xi also smiled, "She has changed, it's good, at least she is really happy now, you didn't see this morning, she had a fucking fight with Liu Erdan, I didn't even think of it, Mu Xiang is really happy If you dare to fight with others, don't tell me, she is really fierce when she gets upright!"

Zhang Shuan didn't know what happened in the morning. He went to work in the field with his sister and father in the morning. When he came back, the crowd had dispersed early. A few wives talked about it, but they only knew the general idea.

Now after hearing Wang Xi say it again, Chang Shuan really believed it, "The bastard is the villain of our village, Mu Xiang really convinced her?"

Wang Xi stopped the shovel, thought carefully, "Anyway, I knew what Mu Xiang said in front of her, and Erdan's face turned pale with fright, and Liu Erdan apologized to Mu Lang. As if chased by a ghost, he ran home."

Chang Shuan laughed loudly, "Ms. Mu Xiang is really talented. I can assure you that no one in this village will dare to quarrel with Mu Xiang again!"

Wang Xi also laughed, but in this smile, there was more loneliness. The better Mu Xiang was, the less hope he had with Mu Xiang.

After Caiyun finished kneading the cornmeal, she also followed the elder sister's instructions and lit a fire under the stove for her.

Because there is no small charcoal stove, Mu Xiang can only stick pancakes in a big pot, which is quite difficult, but he can cook small miscellaneous fish in the pot, stick pancakes on the side of the pot, make smaller ones, and cook quickly.

For the miscellaneous fish pot, she chose Goya fish, plus a few larger crucian carp, and the crayfish meat, which will be fried separately later.

This time she is cooking spicy fish offal, which is more suitable for rice.

That is, after the oil is hot, put the red peppers cut into sections first, stir-fry the peppers to get the aroma and spiciness, then put the fish in, after a while, add some water, and quickly remove the freshness of the fish The flavor is stewed out.

In the time of stewing fish, it is just right to paste pancakes.

This live wood fragrance was not dried at first, so the first two pancakes were either exposed, or not glued on, and fell into the fish soup. After a few trials, the pasting was more decent, but not too much filling. , otherwise it is not easy to stick to the edge of the pot.
