Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 52
Mu Xiang didn't bother to care what she was thinking, she squatted down to check the coriander seeds and spinach seeds that had been scattered.When autumn really comes and winter comes, these two vegetables are best eaten hot in a pot, and coriander and spinach are both cold-resistant, even if it snows heavily, they will not freeze to death.Mixed with coriander and pork, it is also delicious to make dumplings, or to make steamed buns, which is also good.

So we planted a lot of malt, two ridges of coriander, and two ridges of spinach.Coriander sprouts slowly, but spinach sprouts faster.

There is also a row of green garlic.The green garlic in the vegetable garden is kept as a condiment, and the green garlic planted in the garden has to be kept until next spring, when the garlic grows, and the garlic is pickled.

In autumn, shallots have to be replanted. The original onion roots, after a spring and a summer of growth, have grown many new roots, which are densely packed, which is not conducive to winter.Today is just free, and there is also a vegetable plot dug the day before yesterday, which has not been fertilized yet, but the soil has been finely planed, which is just right for growing shallots.

Mu Xiang first pulls out all the onions, then squats to one side, and splits the whole onion. About two to three onions can be used as a planted onion root.When breaking off, be very careful not to break the root of the onion.

"Big sister, I'll help you," Mu Lang squatted over, and Hei Bao followed him closely, and also came up to sniff the green onions on the ground.

Mu Xiang didn't want him to do it at first, worrying that he would damage the green onion, but after thinking about it again, it may not be a good thing to stop him, he always wants to be separated from his life, so she taught him carefully, "Look at sister's movements , to break it from here, it is best to have a gap in the root, yes, that's it."

Mu Lang also broke off two at first, looked at the broken shallot root, looked up at Mu Xiang, his little face was full of guilt.

Mu Xiang encouraged him, "It's okay, it's broken, let's cook for dinner at night, um, let's make scallion-flavored steamed stuffed buns to eat at night, it just so happens that all the scallions are used, do you think it's okay?"

Mu Lang had only eaten the scallion tortillas she made, but he had never eaten the scallion buns, but he believed in the elder sister's craftsmanship, so he nodded vigorously and swallowed.When he learned that these onions were still there, he became more courageous, and the movements of his hands also accelerated a lot.

After breaking the shallots, Mu Xiang started to plant the shallots. Mu Lang went home and took the bucket. He was not strong enough, so he carried less water and followed Mu Xiang. With a tacit cooperation, a row of shallots was quickly arranged.

The seeds of black cabbage with yellow heart are also scattered in the vegetable garden. If you want to eat it in winter, you have to dig the seeds again and transplant the small vegetable seedlings, which is conducive to the growth of black cabbage.

After finishing her work in the vegetable garden, Mu Xiang went home and put some corn on a bamboo flat, ready to grind it, mix it with green vegetables, and feed it to the chickens.

Her house didn't have a stone mill, so she had to borrow it from Wang Xi's house.Mu Xiang thought, it was too troublesome to run back and forth like this, so she had to go to the town to buy a small stone mill and come back. Last time, she seemed to see something for sale in the town, but she didn't think of buying it for a moment.

After she finished grinding the corn and came home, she quickly started cooking.Because I promised to eat scallion-flavored steamed stuffed buns in the evening, I also made noodles in the morning, but I didn't prepare the steamed stuffed buns.

The shallots alone are not enough, they are too vegetarian, the steamed buns are not oily, and the buns are not tasty. Just these days, the hens that I bought started to lay eggs. Five hens, sometimes three can be harvested a day, and more can be eaten. Five eggs are accepted, and at least two eggs can be collected.After saving for a few days, there are ten eggs at home.

She didn't plan to exchange eggs for money, so she didn't feel bad about using eggs to make dumplings.

To make stuffing with eggs, you have to fry the eggs for a while and mix them in the chopped shallots. Of course, when frying the eggs, Mu Xiang spooned a lot of lard and sesame oil in it, otherwise the stuffing If the ingredients are too dry, the buns will not taste good.

There are not many noodles in the morning, and the Muxiang steamed buns are exquisitely made. About 30 can be made.

Thinking about the last time he said to thank Wang Xi, Changshuan, and Jin Ju, they packed the bags today, so he asked Mu Lang to give them some, which was also a token of his gratitude.

Mu Lang stood at the door of the kitchen from the moment she stomped the stuffing, his eyes were almost pierced, he couldn't help it, after the shallots were smashed, the smell was too strong, and there were eggs, he hadn't eaten eggs for a long time.

"Cuckoo..."

Suddenly, the hen in the chicken coop crowed, flapped its wings, drilled through the small hole, and ran outside.The clucking sound never stopped, it was reporting its achievements to the master!

Picking up eggs is Mu Lang's favorite thing to do. Hearing the hen crowing, he turns his head and runs to the coop.

There was only one chicken coop sitting in the coop. At this moment, in the coop made of straw, there was a newly-laid egg lying there. Mu Lang held it in his hand, and it was still warm!

"Eldest sister, look quickly, the eggs are laid again," Mu Lang ran into the kitchen happily, and showed Mu Xiang the eggs.

"Well, from now on, they will lay eggs every day. From then on, Mu Lang can eat an egg every morning. Next year, my sister will raise another litter of young ladies. By the end of next year, there will be a lot of eggs to eat." Mu Xiang knew that his younger brother wanted to eat eggs. But at present, it can only be like this. There are not many vegetables in the house, and the eggs should be kept for cooking.

Mu Lang shook his head and said innocently: "I don't eat eggs, these eggs are reserved for hatching chickens, we have to hatch a lot of chicks."

Mu Xiang nodded, agreeing with his words, "Okay, let's feed a large group, and next year we will feed ducks and goose. When we have duck eggs, we can eat salted duck eggs, braised ducks in brown sauce, and salted geese in winter." eat."

Salty goose?Mu Lang thought for a while, he didn't seem to have eaten it before, what is the braised duck, but he had seen the salted duck egg, it seemed that Li Dashan had eaten it before, when he squatted at the door to watch, Li Dashan held the chopsticks in one hand and the duck egg in the other , cracked the shell, pulled out the egg yolk inside, and seeing him eating with gusto, Mu Lang had dreamed of having a bite for a long time.

Thinking of salted duck eggs, Mu Lang pulled Mu Xiang, pointed at the mansion, and said weakly: "Sister, his family has them, he has eaten them!"

It may be because of the connection of hearts, Mu Xiang easily understood the meaning of his words, and with flour on her hands, she lowered her head and rubbed her chin against Mu Lang's head, "It's okay, let's not envy others, wait until next time When the eldest sister goes to town, she will buy salted duck eggs and bring them back for you to taste, next year I will make a lot of salted duck eggs so that Mu Lang can eat enough."

At the same time, the atmosphere in Wang Xi's house was a little dull, but Wang Xi was used to it. There was very little laughter in his house. Most of the time, Grandma Wang just buried her head in the kitchen, and Grandma Wang sat on the kang all year round, smoking dry cigarettes. When it's good, he will carry Father Wang to the yard to let him bask in the sun.
