Chapter 110 Cooking Tomato Sauce

When Xiaolong heard this, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ma'am, what are you going to do for me?"

Cheng Xia smiled mysteriously, raised her hand and tapped the tip of Xiaolong's nose, "Just watch me do it later, little glutton."

Cheng Xia glanced out of the window, Lin Xiu was playing with Cuihua's children, Cuihua was reluctantly cooking, rolling her eyes and muttering for a while, it could be seen how much resentment was in her heart.

Heh, Cheng Xia sneered, such a person, you can only restrain her if you are more aggressive than her.Reasonable to make her soften?nonexistent.

Cheng Xia turned around and walked to the dazzling array of things on the kang to have a look, took out two tomatoes, beckoned for Xiaolong to come over and give them to him to hold, then walked out the door with four eggs.

Seeing that Cheng Xia was holding so many eggs, Cuihua felt a little greedy, and couldn't help but sneer, "It's a waste for two people to eat so many eggs."

"What? Envy?" Cheng Xia sneered, "Isn't it a waste to feed you? It's a good idea."

Cheng Xia specifically asked Lin Xiu to help watch the room while he was cooking, so as to prevent people with ulterior motives from having any bad thoughts. Cuihua's teeth itched with hatred when he heard it, and he really wanted to stare at Cheng Xia. Hole comes.

"Xiaolong, let's go." Cheng Xia saw Xiaolong standing there blankly, fearing that he would think about what happened yesterday, so he hurriedly called out.

"Come here, ma'am," Xiaolong happily responded, and trotted after Cheng Xia.

Lin Xiu was quite relieved to see his son who was much more lively and cheerful than before. Xiaolong didn't like to talk before, except for smiling at himself and Chen Shi, he was quiet and silent all the time, not like the state that a two-year-old child should have. And he was in a daze from time to time, he didn't respond to anyone talking to him, and Lin Xiu was once worried whether his son was a fool.

As a result, after the sister-in-law appeared, Xiaolong was like a different person, he could act like a baby, and he also had his own little temper. The key is that the whole person is more sunny and no longer boring. Lin Xiu knows that the sister-in-law has a strong personality. But Xiaolong can fall into the eyes of his sister-in-law and is always taken care of everywhere. Lin Xiu really thinks that this is Xiaolong's greatest luck.

Cheng Xia saw that Xiaolong was eager to help, so he gave him a big bowl, taught him to beat the eggs and mix them evenly, while he quickly boiled water in the pot, cut two tomatoes in the middle with a knife, and waited for the water to boil. Throw it in and scald it, take it out and peel off the whole tomato along with the scalded skin.

While stirring the egg liquid, Xiaolong asked curiously, "Ma'am, what are you going to do? I've never seen that thing before." Xiaolong pointed to the tomatoes that Cheng Xia was cutting.

Cheng Xia deftly chopped the two tomatoes into pieces like chopping dumpling stuffing, then took the egg liquid stirred by Xiaolong, threw all the crushed tomatoes into the bowl, and asked Xiaolong to add the Stir the tomato and egg liquid again, and then said, "You haven't seen this thing before, but it's sour and sweet, and it's so delicious. You'll know it in a while. Madam will cook you a thick egg."

"What is that?" Xiaolong asked suspiciously.

"Just wait for a while," Cheng Xia smiled dotingly, then took the bowl in front of Xiaolong, stirred it quickly, and added some salt.Looking at the stove, the minimum firepower was used. The ancient stove is very different from the modern range hood. The firepower is full. Cheng Xia sprinkled the minimum amount of oil in the pot, and only spread the bottom of the pot slightly. Then pour a layer of tomato and egg liquid into the pot, wait for it to solidify slightly, then roll up the omelet with a shovel and place it on the side of the pot.

Continue to pour a layer of egg liquid in the vacant place next to it, wait for it to solidify as before, and then roll the omelette that has been rolled on the side to make a thick layer. Do this several times until the omelette is already thick. Just plate and let cool.

In this way, Cheng Xia rolled two thick omelettes, and after they had cooled down, they carefully cut them into pieces with a knife, so that two large plates of thick eggs were ready.

Xiaolong looked at the red stuff rolled in the golden egg, and couldn't wait to rub his hands to taste it.

Cheng Xia put a thick roast into Xiaolong's mouth, and the little guy howled happily, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

Cheng Xia happily patted Xiaolong's head, and handed one of the plates of thick-boiled eggs to Xiaolong, "Go and deliver it to your grandma, and let your mother and grandma eat it, it is your filial piety."

"But, it was Madam who did it?" Xiaolong didn't understand why he said it was his filial piety.

Cheng Xia looked at him amusedly, "Come on, let's eat these after delivery." Cheng Xia shook the big plate in his hand.

Xiaolong stopped being entangled, and quickly responded and ran towards the front yard.

Cheng Xia's father often cooked this egg for her, especially when Cheng Xia was a child. He said that this egg looks colorful, not only good-looking, but also nutritious to eat.

Be it eggs or tomatoes, they are good supplements. Xiaolong will grow taller and stronger if he eats them.

After sending the food to Mrs. Chen, Xiaolong quickly ate his own when he came back. He ate five or six yuan in one go. Cheng Xia was full after eating three yuan. The next two yuan was brought over, "I can't eat any more, do you need to go to bed after eating too much at night, you will know when your stomach hurts later."

Xiaolong nodded, stroked his round belly, washed up briefly, and then climbed into bed to get ready for bed.He has been sleeping with the aunt for the past few days, so he can sleep with peace of mind.

Seeing that he fell asleep, Cheng Xia closed her eyes and squinted for a while, woke up in the middle of the night, opened the door on tiptoe and looked over, the lights in the rooms of Chen Shi, Lin Xiu and Yang Lihua were all off, and there were no lights in the distance. All the tomatoes were moved to the stove at the back of the room, and a dozen or so small porcelain jars were moved there. Looking back, seeing that Xiaolong was still asleep, he closed the door and went to the kitchen to make tomato sauce. .

The moon and stars were sparse, and the night was just right, even if there was no light, it did not hinder her from making tomato sauce swiftly.

Although she feels a bit like a thief, she dares not to do this. During the day, Yang Lihua and Cuihua appointed to come over to ask questions. She didn't want people to know that this thing can be boiled. The key is that they It was too annoying, Cheng Xia tried to be quiet and thought of doing it at night.

Anyway, tomato sauce is easy to make, and you can get everything done in one night, and you don't have to stay up late every night to make this.

Still on the fire, add water to the pot and bring it to a boil, then pour all the tomatoes with a cross cut in the mouth into it and boil for a while, remove and peel off the skin easily, then take out the chopping board from something similar to a small cabinet next to it, this small cabinet is still Yang Dalang Once built, things like chopping boards or shovels can be placed inside.Cheng Xia chopped all the tomatoes finely in a low voice. While chopping the tomatoes, Cheng Xia threw more than a dozen porcelain jars into the pot and boiled them for sterilization.

After the tomato was cut, Cheng Xia took a piece of clean gauze and filtered it to remove the seeds, leaving only the pulpy pulp.

The porcelain jars have been boiled, taken out and set aside to dry, brush the pot clean, then pour a large pot of tomato puree into the pot and cook on low heat, while stirring constantly to prevent sticking to the pot, prepare the side Pour rock sugar into it.

Cheng Xia's stirring hands were numb, and she thought that this job was not easy. After she came to the Ming Dynasty, she realized that the work that she thought was easy and easy before had put in a lot of hard work.Whether it is plowing the land, or thinking about how to open a restaurant, or the simple and simple stirring back and forth now, it is not as easy as she thought.

Cheng Xia was yawning sleepily, watching the moon and stars, only the sound of insects accompanied her, and everything was extremely quiet.The stars in the sky were extremely bright, Cheng Xia looked up at her neck, and suddenly felt extremely beautiful.

In modern times, especially in the bustling metropolis, Cheng Xia hardly remembers that she ever looked up at the stars. Everyone is busy with their own affairs every day, and they don't even want to take the time to stop and take a look.Moreover, the air pollution is so serious now that the stars are covered by thick clouds and polluted atmosphere.

Looking at the same moon, Cheng Xia suddenly misses Yang Dalang.It has been eight/nine days since he left, this is the first time Cheng Xia has the feeling of missing, the same moonlight, what is he doing now?

Cheng Xia suddenly realized what she was thinking, and quickly shook her head to get rid of "distracting thoughts", trying to focus her thoughts on the tomato sauce that was being boiled by her hands, watching the contents in the pot gradually appear due to the constant stirring It is sticky, and according to the next steps, it should be squeezed into lemon juice and continue to boil for a few minutes before it comes out of the pot, but where there are lemons now, it is an imported product hundreds of years later, and now there is no one at all.

Cheng Xia put aside that step, and put all the tomato paste into the small porcelain jars that were dried separately. There were exactly twelve porcelain jars filled with no more, no less, and they were sealed separately and tied with ropes for reinforcement. When it was full, Cheng Xia wanted to use it to cook something delicious for Xiaolong tomorrow.

After moving these porcelain altars into the room and putting them away, and carefully cleaning the stove, Cheng Xia took a breath. She didn't know what time it was. I understand the specific weather, but I guess it will take a while before dawn.Cheng Xia quickly climbed into bed and continued to sleep. Xiaolong was sleeping soundly, and he didn't know what kind of dream he had. There was still a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth. Cheng Xia saw it, smiled along with it, and fell asleep.

When he got up the next day, Xiaolong couldn't wait to beg Cheng Xia to eat something delicious. Cheng Xia wanted to make porridge for Xiaolong and eat some pickles. Thinking about it, I decided to use the half porcelain jar ketchup from last night to make something different for Xiaolong.

Cheng Xia ordered Xiaolong to bring the tofu from the new kang, turned it upside down, it wasn't a lot, just enough for them to eat for a meal.Cheng Xia took the bouncing little dragon to the kitchen at the back, took out an egg and broke it up, this time without Cheng Xia's prompting, Xiaolong took the chopsticks and began to stir consciously, Cheng Xia smiled gratifiedly, cut the tofu into pieces Form into moderately sized lumps, coat the outside with a layer of flour, then pass through the egg wash one after another, and put them on a plate aside.

The next step is to prepare tofu. Just as Cheng Xia was about to start the fire, he heard a loud commotion from the front yard. Hearing the movement, it seemed that many people had come. Cheng Xia didn't want to worry about it, but heard a familiar voice yelling to let him out. .
