The soldiers have strong tastes, so Song Liyun first cooked acorn tofu with spicy sauce, which is a must-have on the family's dinner table these days.
First, fry the spicy sauce in oil, wait until the oil is bright and bright, then add ginger and garlic to cook out the fragrance, then add chicken bone soup and boil.
Cut acorn tofu into cubes and simmer slowly in the soup for a few minutes, then add salt and vinegar to thicken it, reduce the juice over high heat, and finally garnish with chopped green onion.
After eating for so long, Song Liyun has become perfect at eating acorns.
Whenever the braised acorn tofu is served every day, it is always eaten as quickly as possible.
The food of the Wu Dynasty was mainly stewed. Another dish prepared by Song Liyun was acorn noodles and large plate chicken, even the staple food was omitted.
This is also a chicken that Song Zhenping bought from the town specifically for Song Dekui's practice.
Cut a two-pound chicken into small pieces, blanch it with ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, stir-fry the soup, add the meat and potatoes, and simmer it slowly.
When the meat soup is thickened, the potatoes inside will also absorb the flavor of the chicken.
Finally, spread the cooked acorn noodles on the bottom of the large plate, and then cover the noodles with chicken soup and juice.
When I finally ate it, the chicken was delicious, the potatoes were soft and glutinous, the noodles were chewy, and all kinds of fresh flavors were mixed together. The taste in my mouth was so rich and colorful.
Equally colorful were the two distinguished guests who came to visit.
Song Liyun discovered that Zhou Xiaoqi and Lin Xiaoqi were both taciturn people.
I don’t know why I called Song Dekui, a familiar person, my brother.
The two of them didn't wander around when they arrived at Baolin Residence. They only looked at the front yard and sat there honestly. They talked to Song Dekui all the time, and they were even more polite to Song Zhenping.
There was no fire in the room, and sweat was rolling down their foreheads.
Anyway, in Song Liyun's eyes, the scene looked weird, and he didn't know what to be afraid of.
It wasn't until he took a bite of acorn tofu during the meal that Song Liyun saw the backs of the two people who had always been reserved straighten up instantly.
I tried the big plate of chicken again, and I felt like I was taking my chopsticks like the wind, and I was no longer as timid as before.
Song Dekui complained while fighting for food with others: "Xiaoyun, I've been living here for a few days and you didn't make this dish. If I had known it was so delicious, I would have bought two for you to cook."
Song Dekui was staying at Baolinju a few days ago. In order for Song Liyun to save money, he was not allowed to buy chicken or duck and only ate roasted acorn tofu.
I didn't expect to miss this delicious food.
After dinner, Zhou Xiaoqi and Lin Xiaoqi told the truth.
They were actually very scared of Noble Grove House, after all, it was a famously haunted house.
But Song Dekui couldn't stand it anymore and came to the camp these two days. He kept saying in front of the two of them that Song Liyun's acorn tofu was delicious and asked them to come and try it.
At the guard station, they had long heard that the acorn tofu served at Xue Zhuang's wedding reception was good. They were tired of the multigrain cakes and millet porridge in the camp, so they took the risk and came here.
I didn’t expect to eat such delicious roast chicken noodles.
Naturally, he promised to take more care of the Song family in the future.
The night after the migrant workers received their wages, they were transported out of Suijin Town in large trucks by the guards.
Song Dekui sat in front of the carriage carrying a large package and repeatedly promised Song Liyun that the whereabouts of the three brothers and sisters would not be revealed when they returned.
If Song Liyun was worried about this a day ago, she has no worries now.
Now he is a creditor of the Broken Gold Guard and a military household of the Guard.
With Luo Baihu's promise and money in exchange for asylum, she has nothing to fear.
In fact, when Song Liyun thinks about it, it would be more perfect if the positions were reversed.
He took back one thousand eight hundred taels of silver from Luo Baihu's pocket. For the sake of the money, the guard station might have to arrange some guards for Baolinju.
Song Liyun sincerely invited Song Dekui to come to Ruijin Town again when he had the chance, so that he could entertain him.
Song Dekui promised repeatedly. The plate of chicken had already made him scratch his head and he might never forget it in his life.
Although Song Liyun had told him how to make it, he still felt regretful that he couldn't eat the most authentic one.
It will not be easy for him to come to Broken Gold Town in the future. According to the law, if he leaves home more than fifty miles, he will need a road guide.
It's more than two hundred miles from Xiaoshi Village to here.
As soon as the migrant workers left, Ruijin Town suddenly fell silent.
During the day, you can occasionally hear chickens crowing, dogs barking, and people coming and going in a hurry.
At night, all the courtyard doors are closed, no one is seen, and even the curfew is skipped.
All I could hear was the strange whistling sound of the night wind blowing through the ruins of the broken wall.
Perhaps this is the true face of this small village.
Fortunately, there is a health clinic here.
The sound of bugles during morning and evening drills will be heard in the distance, adding a bit of popularity to Broken Gold Town.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and darkness shrouded Ruijin Town. Everything was lifeless, there was no moonlight, and there was no light at all.
The kang was already burning in the house of Baolinju, and it was warm and cozy. Xiao An, wearing only a small coat, was sitting on the kang peeling acorns.
Song Zhenping entered the house with a gray head, pulled a towel and wiped it clean before going to the kang.
He said to Song Liyun who was looking through a pile of clothes: "The fire in the vegetable shed has been set up, but the wind is blowing now, and I'm afraid it will snow tomorrow!"
It is now the winter months, and the strong winds have brought down the temperature for several days, with the temperature plummeting to zero degrees.
Song Liyun smiled brightly and said, "I'm not afraid of the snow. Look, I have a new coat to wear."
Today, she asked the town's needlework wife to change three sets of clothes. In this way, the three brothers and sisters have two sets of coats. In addition, they have firewood and food, so they don't have to worry all winter.
Hearing that it was going to snow, Xiao An looked up at her sister with pleading eyes.
Song Liyun touched his head: "Don't worry, I know, I will tell you soon."
"What are you talking about?" Song Zhenping swept the mud off his body, sat down next to Xiao An and started peeling acorns.
Nowadays, the family is never idle. Whenever their hands are free, they must peel acorns.
Song Liyun smiled and said: "Brother, have you tightened the straw curtain of the vegetable shed tightly? Don't let the wind blow it open again overnight."
"It's all pressed this time, Yun'er, do you think this can be done? Can we eat vegetables in winter?" Song Zhenping still didn't believe it.
While cleaning up the dust some time ago, Song Liyun discovered that there was a floor stove for heating under the main house in Ji's backyard, and it was connected to two fire walls.
With just a few repairs, it could provide heating for a hundred square meters, which made her extremely happy.
Anyway, I have so many acorn shells at home, plus the leaves and branches, that I can’t even burn them all. I’m wondering what to do with them, and now I can put them to use.
Song Liyun filled the furnace with acorn shells.
After several attempts to generate heat, soil was piled on the land of several houses.
Borrow a fire wall, build a grass shed to block the wind, and simply build a greenhouse in the backyard, where you can grow vegetables in the soil.
Song Zhenping was experienced in farming, and Song Liyun understood it as soon as he explained it.
Anyway, the ten acres of land by the river can't be cultivated now, and he has too much time to do. It's just right for him to take care of the land he has at home.
Without Song Liyun's instructions, Song Zhenping went to the town to find Boss Mu in exchange for some vegetable seeds. Now he seals the fire door every day, controls the temperature, and waits for the seeds to germinate.
Xiao An became more and more anxious as her brother and sister talked about farming without mentioning him. She pulled Song Liyun's sleeve and started to shake it.
Song Zhenping was stunned. What did Xiao An mean?
In the past, Xiao An never asked for anything.
Song Liyun knew that Xiaoan felt sorry for Heijin.
