It will take a few days for Xu Qingzhi to receive the milk glass jar he ordered online.
The next day, Xia Qin officially came to work, fed the cows, cleaned up the cowshed, and milked half a bucket of milk.
Wang Yanmei filled three bottles of milk from the empty orange canned glass bottles before, thinking that the weather was cold and the vegetables could withstand it.
Yesterday, Mr. Huo and Dong Ming caught several big fish and put them at Xu's house to eat.
Wang Yanmei asked Xu Fuqiang to kill two fish and chop them into pieces. One and a half were eaten at home today, and the other half was deep-fried until browned. Sauté the minced garlic and chili ash in hot oil, and then pour in the fish.
Mix with minced garlic and chili, stir-fry, and sprinkle with chopped green onion before serving.
The spicy garlic fish pieces made in this way last longer than ordinary dishes.
Wang Yanmei also specially fried seven or eight pieces of steamed steamed pork with rice flour.
In order for food to last, it must be either too oily or too salty.
In the end, she still felt that there was something wrong with it, so she cooked ten more hard-boiled eggs and brought ten salted duck eggs.
Xu Qingzhi laughed at her: "Mom, those who know know that you are going to school to see the students, but those who don't know think that you are going to open a restaurant on the road."
"Hey, your brother said that there are many pre-made dishes in the school now. He doesn't like to eat them. Those fried pork with chili peppers don't even taste like pork. I'm thinking of bringing him more." Wang Yanmei said distressedly.
Xu Qingzhi was gnawing on the sweet potato in his hand, "Hmm, if it really doesn't work, why don't we recruit someone to deliver food to my brother?"
Wang Yanmei frowned, "What a waste of money."
Xu Qingzhi: "..."
"Isn't that because you feel sorry for him?"
He had some savings in hand, and Xu Qingzhi's material desires were extremely low, so he usually had nothing to spend money on.
She is not interested in gold, silver, jewelry, or high-end luxury brands. Buying a bag worth hundreds of thousands is not as satisfying as finding some rare varieties of vegetables.
A while ago, she found some tomato seeds on an online planting exchange forum, which were all planted by private planting enthusiasts.
Most of the tomatoes on the market now sacrifice taste for the sake of being durable in transportation and storage. Although she has cheated with magical spiritual spring water and spiritual energy array, the tomatoes grown taste good.
But if there are better seeds, the tomatoes that come out will be better.
Just like people, sometimes the role of genes is far greater than the efforts of the day after tomorrow.
The communication between people who really love planting is often very pure and has nothing to do with money.
The other party asked her if she had any special seeds. She thought of her "overbearing" strawberries and asked the other party if she wanted strawberry seedlings.
Although it was late in the season to plant strawberry seedlings, the other party was in Zhoucheng and the temperature was quite suitable, so they agreed.
Xu Qingzhi went to town today to pick up seeds and deliver the seedlings by courier.
Wang Yanmei on the side thought for a moment, then waved her hand, "There's no need to recruit people to send them. Your brother said that only those few dishes are pre-made. The school doesn't dare to change them all now. It's planned to take it slow. I guess I'll wait for them.
After graduation, all pre-made dishes will be started next year and the year after.”
Xu Qingzhi gnawed on the sweet potato and nodded.
Wang Yanmei packed up all the things she would give to Xu Zijun in the afternoon and started making lunch.
While the steaming chicken soup was simmering on the fire, Wang Yanmei murmured: "There is also a stainless steel lunch box at home. This chicken soup is specially stewed with Codonopsis pilosula, angelica root, and astragalus. It can nourish the body. Pack some for your brother."
Xu Qingzhi opened the cupboard with one hand, found the lunch box and took it out, ready to wash it. There was still a big piece of jicama and he couldn't finish it in several bites, so he simply bit it on his mouth.
Turn on the hot water, wash the lunch box, and then use a stainless steel spoon to take the chicken and soup out of the pot. The lunch box is about half full, and finally sprinkle some wolfberry before covering it.
Xu Qingzhi kept biting the uneaten sweet potatoes, and when the work was finished, Xu Qingzhi's cheeks were sore.
One more second, and her image would not be preserved, and the irritation would flow out directly.
She hurriedly gnawed on the uneaten cold potatoes and watched her mother frying fish fillets.
When eating fish at home, you don’t need to worry about storage. After adding oil, sprinkle salt to prevent it from sticking to the pan, then add fish pieces and fry slowly over low heat until golden color.
Pull the fish steak to one side, add the chopped ginger, garlic and green and red chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant. Then stir-fry the fish together.
When the Xu family eats dishes, most of them don't add cooking wine, but instead use the wine they drink at home, and sprinkle some along the edge of the pot.
Add the seasonings and hot water and simmer for seven or eight minutes.
Finally sprinkle the soul garlic leaves.
A dish of Meicheng’s homemade fish fillets is ready.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the dish and suddenly thought: "Mom, the weather is cold now. Will this fish turn into fish rice dumplings if left at night?"
"Yes." Wang Yanmei said.
The fish pieces stir-fried in this way will be twisted into a ball because of the cold weather. When you pinch them with chopsticks, the jelly texture and the peppery fish meat are commonly known as fish rice dumplings in Meicheng.
Xu Qingzhi didn't like eating fish very much when she was a child, but after eating the leftover fish meat, she especially loved to eat the fish rice dumplings, which tasted very different.
It is also considered a home-cooked dish with local characteristics in Meicheng.
