Life gradually returned to peace with the departure of Yu's parents, and Yu's diet became tasteless.
At least that's what Yu Jian thinks. This small notebook has always been on her desk, buried among the thick high school exercise books.
【What are you doing? Expression.jpg】
Yu Jian was thinking about what her grandma had just said when she suddenly received a message reminder. She picked up her phone and saw a flashing penguin avatar with a cute cat-faced question mark emoticon.
He replied casually: [I’m thinking.]
[…] The other party replied with a series of ellipses, expressing her speechless mood, and then asked her: [The school will have a charity sale in the city the day after tomorrow, what are we going to sell?]
Huang Nuan's words reminded Yu Jian that every summer there is a tourism festival in the county. In order to train students' comprehensive qualities, the school organizes charity sales during the summer vacation, and the proceeds are used to support poor students in their studies.
[What do you want to sell?] Yu Jian first asked for her opinion.
[I’ve asked about it. Handicrafts, toys, and books have all been prepared. How about... we sell food? The oyster bake you made last time, Jian, was very good!] Since the last time I tasted the oyster bake made by Yu Jian,
In the end, Huang Nuan really couldn't forget it. She would think about it from time to time, and would always drag Yu Jian to make her do it again.
Eating food? It seems like a good idea, but oysters are not good. Not to mention the cost of oysters is too high, and it is very troublesome to get a gas tank, and the safety factor cannot be guaranteed.
Yu Jian thought about it silently in her mind and came up with some ideas: [If you can't bake oysters, you can make sugar water.]
Huang Nuan's eyes lit up at the other end, yes!
The number of tourists in the county has increased exponentially in the past two years. In the hot weather, who doesn’t want to drink a bowl of ice-cold refreshing drinks?
There’s no need to worry about not being able to sell it!
She fluttered her fingers: [Then, let’s make sea stone flowers? You wait at home, I’ll come right away, and let’s go find pigtails together~]
The pigtail’s name is Chen Xinyi, and Yu Jian’s classmates, like them, are children who were left in a fishing village. In the early years, Chen Xinyi’s mother thought that the Chen family was poor, so she ran away from home after giving birth to her, and there has been no news since. Chen’s father is looking for her.
After getting no results, he angrily left home to work and made a career. The Chen family is now one of the richest families in the village.
The nickname for Little Pigtail is Huang Nuanqi. She has always had braids with bangs added to her hair since she was a child. Her name is hard to pronounce, so I just kept calling her Little Pigtail.
"Hai Shi Hua? Yes, yes, but there are so many people making Hai Shi Hua sugar water in the county, can we really sell it?" Chen Xinyi was frightened, and a map of various sugar water stalls, large and small, appeared in her mind.
Huang Nuan raised her hand nonchalantly, came up to her and whispered a few words to her. Chen Xinyi nodded and looked at Yu Jian uncertainly.
"I'll do it once, and you can decide after eating it?" The two people's thoughts were all written on their faces, and Yu Jian said in a dumbfounded voice.
"No problem! Little braid, hurry up, let's follow A-Jian home!"
Ah Jian was indeed on the right track! Huang Nuan shook her head happily, she could have dinner again tonight!
Sea stone flower is a marine plant unique to South Australia. It is edible and can be used as medicine. Every household in the village will have some at least some of it.
The remaining pieces of stone flowers and grass at home have been washed with clean water in advance, and they are white and plump and put in the basin.
Chen Xinyi watched Yu Jian squeeze a handful of Lithops and put it into the pot, then added an appropriate amount of water. She pushed Huang Nuan beside her and asked softly: "Ajian, don't you need to use an electronic scale to weigh it? What should I do if I add too much water?
?”
The amount of water used to boil the Lithops is very important. Generally, 50g of Lithops should be put into twenty bowls of water. If it is too much, it will not solidify easily. If it is too little, the cooking process will be dry.
"Don't worry, A-Jian's hands are much more accurate than weighing them!" Huang Nuan reassured her.
Chen Xinyi could only continue to watch Yu Jian's movements. As the two of them were talking, Yu Jian put down the large spoon in his hand, bent down and added some firewood. When the water in the pot boiled, he stirred under the stove to let it boil.
The amount of fire becomes smaller.
"It's going to cook for a while, do you want to wait here?" Yu Jian wiped the ash on her hands, frowned and asked the two people behind her, don't you think it's too hot in the kitchen?
Huang Nuan shook his head first, then nodded, moved to Yu Jian's side with a shy face, and leaned against her bonelessly: "We will accompany you! By the way...what are you having for dinner?"
She knew it! How could Huang Nuan be so considerate and accompany her in the kitchen? Sure enough, it was just for a bite.
Yu Jian's expression was a little helpless. Two equally round heads were facing her and she could only ask: "What do you want to eat?"
"Oyster brand!" replied in unison.
Huang Nuan never forgets it after eating it, while Chen Xinyi has never eaten it but has heard that she misses it day and night.
Anyway, if they are not allowed to eat pan-fried oysters today, they will not let Yu Jian off easily.
After driving the two of them out of the kitchen, Yu Jian sat on the bench and was in trouble. With two more mouths, just adding an oyster brand would definitely not be enough.
There is still old duck soup left over from yesterday in the kitchen, so why not make duck flower soup cakes.
I took the flour and started kneading the dough. Yu Jian’s dough kneading technique was taught by his master. First scald a part of the dough with boiling water, and then knead it with cold water. After repeating it several times, put it in a stainless steel basin and cover it with gauze cloth.
.
After the noodles woke up, she first kneaded them into a long strip slightly thicker than her thumb and set aside.
The duck soup was ready-made and was boiled in the pot. Yu Jian cut thinly sliced mushrooms and put them in the pot. The aroma suddenly wafted out of the pot.
While the soup was boiling and bubbling, Yu Jian took a deep breath, picked up the kneaded dough, and quickly twisted it into thin slices and put it in the pot. When the dough slices floated out of the soup, the duck flower soup cake was ready.
Already.
Huang Nuan had already smelled the strong fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and unconsciously lay beside the kitchen door, twitching her nose.
When Yu Jian came out with the dishes, she was startled: "What are you doing here?"
"It smells so good..." Huang Nuan was attracted by the steaming big casserole in her hand. He didn't hear her words at all and stared at it without blinking.
Yu Jian couldn't do anything to her, so she turned sideways and squeezed past her, louder: "Bring out the oysters and lettuce, let's start dinner."
The pan-fried oysters that had just come out of the pan looked golden and sizzling with oil. Huang Nuan could already imagine the crunchy sound when he took a bite.
Even a simple plate of lettuce looks different, with green leaves, white garlic cloves, and a sweet aroma when you smell it carefully.
Huang Nuan finally suppressed his desire to eat secretly, wiped the saliva that was about to overflow from the corner of his mouth, and quickly took the dish out.
Pan-fried oysters, duck flower soup cakes, boiled shrimps, stir-fried pork slices, stir-fried lettuce, and iced sea rock sugar water. Chen Xinyi stared at the table full of dishes in stunned silence, and was convinced by Yu Jian.
After taking a sip of the duck flower slice soup, I was so convinced that I became completely immersed in it.
How can there be such a delicious soup! It has no earthy taste from duck at all, it is fresh and fragrant, and the dough inside is mixed with the rich flavor of mushrooms and duck meat, and it melts in your mouth.
She drank two large bowls in one breath, and with everyone else watching her, she held the spoon in the big casserole and said sheepishly: "I... I'll just have another bowl..."
