After preparing the auxiliary ingredients, Xu Suizhu heated up the oil pan, stir-fry the onions, ginger and garlic first, then scooped two spoons of the broth made by her sister-in-law, added enough water, put in the potatoes, mushrooms, corn, chicken feet, shrimps and crabs in order, and cooked over high heat.
After boiling, remove the firewood and simmer over low heat until the juice is reduced, then you can open the pot, put it on a plate and eat it happily.
One dish is worth three dishes! The meat crab pot was served, and almost everyone put their chopsticks towards this dish.
Except for Xu Suizhu, it was the first time for everyone to taste the dish of chicken, duck feet and seafood stewed together. While eating, they praised: Suisui’s cooking is so good! As soon as she came, our stomachs felt satisfied!
From now on, I will keep my claws, and we will stew a dish like this once! Wu Meili ate the chopstick mushrooms, and the mushrooms absorbed the soup, and the umami flavor in the soup went into the mushroom meat. It was so delicious! This meal was just right
When I started eating, I said I would stew it next time.
Then he tasted a piece of corn, and Wu Meili's eyes suddenly lit up: Sui Sui, I didn't expect the rice and corn stew to be so delicious! I also said that I planted two crops this year, and it seems that no one likes it very much, so I will plant less next year. No.
It’s a good idea to think that it can be eaten as a stew! When I stew the fish in the pot, I also put a few pieces in it. The umami is absorbed into the rice and it’s even more delicious than fish!
Mrs. Lu agreed and said: I also think that the vegetables in this kind of stew are more delicious than meat, shrimps and crabs.
Xu Suizhu said with a smile: After grinding the rice cakes during the New Year, put some rice cakes in it, it will be more delicious!
Really? Wu Meili said, why wait for the Chinese New Year? Isn’t there a millstone? Tomorrow I will grind the rice cakes! It’s easy to get sour in hot weather, so it’s better to steam less. There are so many of us, and we can’t even steam a drawer of rice cakes twice.
I finished eating it by the day!
When Mrs. Lu heard that there were rice cakes to eat, she hurriedly asked to help.
It's a pity that your fifth aunt is busy with her teahouse in town and doesn't have time to come over. Otherwise, this kind of dish would definitely be her favorite. She prefers the rice cakes from the south to the dumplings and yuanxiao from the north.
Then grind more, steam it, and ask Jianbing to take some along the way when delivering the goods. Wu Meili said, stroking her hands. After lunch, she started washing the rice, soaking it, and washing the millstones.
The millstones were brought here before the new house was built.
The Lin family's old house has many old things. This small stone mill was used to grind rice slurry and steam rice rolls when Lin Guodong's father was still alive. Later, he passed away, and Lin Guodong and his wife both worked at the fishery. When they were busy, they could even save three meals.
I had time to grind rice pulp, so I simply piled it in the woodshed.
After building a new house, I packed up the things in the old house one by one. When I saw this stone mill, I thought that there were many people on the island and I might need it someday, so I cleaned it and brought it over.
It seems that your brother made a mistake and did this right! Wu Meili was washing the millstone and said with a smile. When he brought it, I thought he had to go through such trouble to transport such a heavy thing.
What to do!
Xu Suizhu said with a smile: My sister-in-law was worried about returning home, so she took the trouble to settle down. I just saw some tourists taking pictures there.
Wu Meili placed the stone mill at the wellhead next to the bamboo forest. At first, it was for the convenience of adding water for cleaning. Now when Xu Suizhu said it, it really has an antique charm. She couldn't help but laugh.
The aunt and sister-in-law worked together to clean the millstone. The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, so they dried it in a short time.
Sure enough, several groups of tourists came and took many photos in this quiet bamboo forest around the millstones and hexagonal wells that are no longer seen in the town.
When they learned that the owner had washed the stone mill so cleanly for grinding rice cakes tomorrow morning, they all said:
Boss, please grind more! Let’s buy some to take home. No one makes rice cakes in summer, but I’ve been craving rice cakes and fried crabs for a long time!
That’s right! Grind more! How about I get up early tomorrow and come over to help? There’s no charge, just sell me the rice cakes!
I'm here to help too!
I'm coming too
Wu Meile was dumbfounded.
Wow, tourists’ money seems to be really easy to make! If I grind some rice cakes on a whim, there will be people queuing up to buy them.
So he nodded repeatedly: OK! Then I'll soak some more rice and steam it for three to five drawers tomorrow!
Xu Suizhu saw that her sister-in-law was willing to grind rice cakes to sell, so she helped her get paper and pen, and wrote down the number of kilograms that the tourists expected to buy. After the tourists left, she calculated the statistics and reported it to Wu Meili: Sister-in-law, the tourists alone cost sixty kilograms.
The soaked rice was obviously not enough for grinding, so Wu Meili immediately went to wash another thirty kilograms.
If your brother comes over, ask him to bring in some rice tomorrow and grind the rice cakes. I'm afraid there won't be enough.
After saying that, Wu Meili's heart moved, she patted her thigh and said excitedly: Sui Sui, why don't we plant some rice on the island! You see, a crop of watermelon was planted in the wasteland. What a pity it would be to have it idle for the second half of the year? Why not plant rice?
?When all the watermelons are harvested, it’s almost the right time to plant late rice! What do you think?
Xu Suizhu:
That's good, but in this case, the manpower is obviously not enough.
Speaking of manpower, I just wanted to discuss something with you. Sister-in-law Yangqun and her sister-in-law, who live next door to Grandma Cuicui’s house, really want to come and work on our island. Every time I go back to my parents’ house, they will come over and ask if there are any vacancies.
.They have grown up with me since they were little. They are quick and easy to work with. If we need to recruit people, why don't we let them try?
Xu Suizhu immediately said: OK, sister-in-law, you are more accurate than me in judging people. If you have suitable people, just recruit them.
In this way, the manpower in the rice fields is also solved.
Mrs. Lu was very happy when she heard they said they wanted to grow rice: From now on, everything will be grown on the island, so how about setting up a brand? I think the Fuju Island logo posted on the can is pretty good, so I might as well register it.
It’s a Fujudao trademark. Register it as soon as possible to prevent someone from counterfeiting it in the future.
Xu Suizhu had this intention. As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came together, they went to the city the next day and approved the trademark of Fuju Island.
By the way, I gave Principal Chi two kilograms of tea.
He happily said that he would keep two taels and take the rest to the provincial capital so that the leading cadres of the provincial department could taste Fjord Town's own tea.
Don't tell me, once you drink this tea, everything else will lose its taste! Principal Chi didn't know whether to be happy or sigh.
A few days ago, his son came back from the provincial capital and brought him a box of this year's new tea. In previous years, the treasure would have been hidden and no one was willing to give it to him. This year, he generously took it out and brewed it for relatives who came to visit. His son saw
I couldn't help but wonder and asked him what was wrong? Did he not like drinking tea anymore or had he changed his temper? He smiled and took out the Fuju Island Sanbao tea given by Xu Suizhu, and brewed a cup each for himself and his son. When his son drank it, there was almost no leftover.
Grab them all!
The brat has some conscience. He gave me some money before he left. How about I let him take away most of the tea? Humph!
If Xu Suizhu couldn't hear the show off in Principal Chi's tone, working under him would be in vain.
