Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 87

By the time I got home, the two small wooden barrels were almost too full.Su Qingdai looked at it, good guy, it weighs four or five catties, this harvest is really good.Later generations went to the vegetable market to buy live loach and eel, which cost tens of dollars a catty, and it was artificially farmed, which was not as fresh as this wild one.

Of course, I will cook when I go back. Father Su has piled all the straw in the field into haystacks. He came back early to prepare dinner. Seeing the three brothers and sisters coming back with two buckets of loach and eel, they were also very happy.You can have extra meals in the evening.

"Dad, look at how much we dug! Look, I dug this all, isn't it amazing?!" Su Qingye handed over the wooden bucket she was carrying to present the treasure, and naturally got a good compliment from Su's father.

Su Qingcheng curled his lips aside, snorted lightly, and did not speak.Su Qingdai thought it was funny, her younger sister would only steal other people's credit, half of the loaches in the tube were stolen from Su Qingcheng, and a lot of them were dug by Su Qingdai, counting on her head, ten would be good .

Su Qingye also felt wronged, smiled embarrassingly and said: "Of course, my brother is better than me! My brother catches the most!"

"They are all powerful!" Su's father acted as a peacemaker, separating the loach from the eel in the bucket, and picking the big eel into another bucket for raising.

Su Qingye caught eels and loaches, so naturally they clamored to eat them at night.Su Qingdai knows Su's father's cooking skills, and the dishes he cooks are edible, but they are definitely not delicious.Although Su Qingdai was weak, she still took over the task of cooking.After all, there is Mrs. Luo at home, so it's not good to neglect the old man too much.

There are generally several ways to eat rice field eels in the countryside. Small rice field eels are generally made into fried rice field eel rings, and there is no need to kill them. Live rice field eels are directly fried in the nest.Those eels entered the hot oil pan, curled up to protect their stomachs, and were finally blown into a circle.Add garlic leaves and pepper powder, add some cooking wine and other condiments, and a plate of fragrant eel rings fried in oil is out of the pan.

The big rice field eel is more troublesome to eat, and the rice field eel has to be killed and sliced ​​to make it.Killing eels is more bloody. In rural areas, a long bench and a wooden stamp with nails are usually prepared.

When killing an eel, grab an eel by its tail and shake its head hard against the bench, knocking it unconscious. When it is no longer struggling, take a wooden poke and directly nail its head through the wooden bench Then use a thin blade to cut open directly along the eel's body, remove the internal organs and bones of the eel, cut it into sections and throw it into the bowl.

The eel has a lot of blood in its body, so when the eel is handled, the bench is covered with blood.But eel blood is a great tonic, so eels are usually not washed after killing them.

Su Qingdai saw some white-collar workers buying eels in the vegetable market in later generations, and felt that the bloody eels that had been slaughtered looked disgusting and had to be cleaned.In fact, after the eel blood is washed, the eel loses its original smooth taste, and what is washed off is the essence!
Eel meat cut into segments, generally stewed or braised in brown sauce.

Generally, winter melon or cucumber is put in the stewed eel. The stewed eel is delicious and nutritious. It is a good medicinal food, especially suitable for women who are physically weak.Eel blood contains various qi-invigorating essences, which can supplement the iron element lacking in women's bodies, nourish the kidney and spleen, and enhance physical fitness.But stewed eel soup is more time-consuming. After it is cooked with high fire, it has to be boiled with a slow fire until the eel is stewed until it is rotten.

Braised eel in brown sauce is mostly added with celery in restaurants, but it is not done in Qinghe Village.

A very delicious wild vegetable grows by the river in Qinghe Village, which the locals call "Fucai".This kind of vegetable looks a bit like celery, but it is not as strong as celery, and its fragrance is also different from celery, but it is an excellent material to pair with braised eel.When the locals eat braised eel in brown sauce, most of them go to the Qinghe River to pick rich vegetables.

Because it was not early, Su Qingdai could only choose the simplest dishes.Su Qingcheng volunteered to go to the river to collect rich vegetables, and Su's father chose a few big eels and killed them in the yard.Su Qingdai tidied up the kitchen and prepared the condiments for the cooking, and only waited for the ingredients to be prepared before cooking.

He also ordered Su Qingye to inform his uncle and his family to come to eat at home in the evening, Su Qingye was a little unhappy, and was glared at by Su Qingdai before getting up and lingering away.

I heard Su's father said that his uncle's illness has been completely cured, and he said that he and Aunt Su will go to Guangzhou to work in the next year.It's not easy to stop Father Su, he came back from Guangzhou, so he naturally knows that it's hard to find a job.

In the past few years, the most worrying thing in Guangzhou is the migrant workers, who are cheap and insecure.Many contractors took the money and ran away, but the factory's performance was not good and closed down, and those workers couldn't get the money.After working hard in other places for more than half a year, he finally came back penniless.

But Uncle Su has made up his mind, and Father Su can only agree.Since the separation of the two families, Father Su and Uncle Su have also had a lot of separation.Especially after Zhang Qin passed away, Aunt Su bullied the three children openly and secretly, which also made Su's father have opinions in his heart.Although he couldn't say anything on the surface, he was more selfish.After all, the Su family has become two families now, not when he and Uncle Su shared a pair of pants.

Su Qingdai's hands and feet are nimble, and she cooks very quickly.When Su's father and Su Qingcheng prepared the ingredients, she had already cooked a few dishes.One fried pork with beans, one shredded pork with fungus, another eggplant in oil, one braised silver carp, one plate of crab, and two cucumber salads, and a few freshly marinated salted duck eggs boiled in a small round pot beside it.At this time, the eels were also ready, so Su Qingdai made a braised eel and fried eel rings.

When the dishes were served, everyone happily sat around.The old lady Luo saw that Su Qingdai had cooked so many dishes in such a short period of time, and they were all delicious in color and fragrance, so she didn't hesitate to praise her and praised her greatly.

Uncle Su and Aunt Su also came to eat, but they didn't see Su Wang.Su Qingdai felt strange, so she asked casually.Aunt Su's expression darkened, and she vaguely said that Su Wang went outside to play.

Su Qingdai saw her eyes flickering, and knew that Su Wang must have gone out to fool around again.But she is not the Holy Mother, even Aunt Su and Uncle Su can't control Su Wang, and it's useless for her to talk too much.

With eels, no one would look up to crabs.The most popular dish on the table is the fried rice eel rings in the middle. The blue porcelain sea bowl looks big, but in fact there are not many eels in a big bowl.One person caught one eel ring, and one-fifth of it was gone.

Eating rice field eel rings is a technical job, which requires coordination between hands and mouth.Bite the side of the eel's neck with your teeth, and tear the eel's spine with your hands. Once you tear it to the end, the eel's belly meat will be separated from the back.

Because the oil-fried eel rings are all small rice field eels, once deep-fried, the spines of the eels are crispy, crunchy to the bite, fragrant, crispy, delicious, and chewy.However, there is a yellow eel intestine in the torn eel that needs to be removed, otherwise there will be a bitter taste in the mouth.

The rice field eel ring will bottom out after a few chopsticks are picked up by one person. There is no way, there are more monks and less meat.The old lady Luo was the most powerful. She actually ate seven or eight pieces faster than the others. The speed was astonishingly fast, and the three brothers and sisters Su Qingdai were stunned.This little old lady really doesn't show her face, eating eel is actually better than their native rural people!
The old lady didn't feel embarrassed at all. She burped after eating the eel, but she still poked her chopsticks into the braised eel. When she ate the rich dish, her eyes lit up and she asked, "What kind of dish is this? It tastes really good." good!"

Su Qingdai then explained to her the origin of the rich vegetables, which made the old lady fall in love with it all of a sudden, and clamored to take a handful with her when she went back.Su Qingdai naturally agreed, now there is nothing else in Qinghe, but there are a lot of rich vegetables.

After dinner, Su Qingdai asked Uncle Su about going to Guangzhou to work.

Uncle Su's complexion has indeed improved a lot. When he mentioned that he was going to work, he smiled slightly: "This was decided a few days ago. Someone from your aunt's family will help introduce the job, so we just need to follow along. "

"What about Su Wang?" Su Qingdai was a little worried. Both husband and wife went out to work. How could Su Wang, a 13-year-old child, take care of herself?And that guy is not good at learning, no adults are watching, he is estimated to become a bastard in a few years.

"I've also considered this matter. Don't worry. Your aunt is going to send Su Wang to live with her grandmother. Now that my uncle is in good health, he can't stay at home all the time. After the new year, we will go out to make money. We can't compare With your father's courage, spending so much money to contract Daqingshan, your uncle and I think that we will build a building in the village in the future by earning some money, so that we can get by."

Su Qingdai also laughed when she heard this: "That's fine, let's go and have a look first, if it doesn't work, come back and open Xiaonan's grocery store in the town."

After all, it is an uncle, Su Qingdai has already thought about it, and in the future, her family will develop, so she can't just ignore her uncle's family at all.She thought that after a year or two, she would set up a shop for her uncle in the town, sell some groceries or other things, and let her uncle's family have a business.But now that she hears that her uncle is going to Guangzhou, she can't intervene anymore, she just waits for her uncle to go outside to see the situation.

Naturally, this matter was not disclosed. The old lady Luo was full and insisted on going for a walk in the village.Su Qingdai had no choice but to accompany her to the village.The old lady wandered around the village for a long time. When she came to the river, her eyes suddenly shone brightly. She pointed to the flat land by the river and asked, "Whose land belongs to it?"

Su Qingdai froze for a moment, then followed her fingers to look.What the old lady pointed to was the vacant lot that the paper mill had looked at a while ago.Su Qingdai was a little puzzled, and said: "It belongs to the village, it doesn't belong to any family. A few political commissars came a while ago and wanted to build a paper mill there, but the village chief rejected it. Now that land should still belong to in the village."

The old lady laughed immediately, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That would be great!"

She wandered around the field several times, looking around.Su Qingdai didn't know what kind of charade the old lady was playing. Looking at her like that, could it be that she had an idea for this land?

Su Qingdai was taken aback, what does this old lady want such a large piece of land for? !
