Yang was filling bowls of wontons, and the two little ones were busy carrying various cutlery, bowls, and chopsticks to the dining table in the front room, while Su Qingluan scooped up a ladle of water and soaked it in the smoked chicken. In the iron pot.
The sugar under the iron pot has been completely caramelized and is stuck to the bottom of the pot together with the tea leaves. If you don't soak it with water now, it will be difficult to clean it later.
After finishing all this, Su Qingluan turned and went to the front room, where wontons and smoked chicken had been served.
"There is still some in the pot, not enough to add more." Yang said with a smile.
After the last time he ate the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Su Xuanhe put away his previous voracious attitude and carefully cooled everything he ate before eating in small bites, which was a lot more gentle.
Not to mention Su Xuanhe, even Su Guangfu, who used to eat as well as fight, has also restrained himself a lot - after all, he is already in his thirties and cannot recover as quickly as young people. If the mouth is scalded, it will still affect eating.
Eating was affected and he had no energy to work. Su Guangfu also understood which was lighter and which was heavier.
Su Qingluan originally cleaned the chicken fat when cleaning the chicken offal, and when cooking the soup, he also skimmed off the floating oil while skimming off the foam.
Therefore, although there are scattered light yellow oily flowers floating in this wonton soup, it does not seem to be that heavy after all.
The little girl Su Xueyan pouted her little mouth and carefully took a sip of the soup. Her eyes lit up: "Sister, this soup is so delicious! It's even fresher than fish soup!"
Yang and Su Guangfu also discovered when they were drinking soup that this wonton soup not only had the aroma of chicken soup, but also had a unique salty flavor of marinated bacon! And because a lot of spices were added when the bacon was pickled at that time, the soup also had the flavor of complex spices.
Su Xuanhe still doesn't know how to express the deliciousness of food with gorgeous and elegant poems, but his expression is very intuitive: "Sister, I can drink a pot of such delicious soup!"
Su Qingluan couldn't help teasing: "Is your belly that big? Aren't you afraid of bursting your belly with just one pot?"
"I won't burst my belly!" Su Xuanhe vowed to stretch out his belly, and then bit down half a wonton as if he was determined to prove something.
Before chewing twice, Su Xuanhe noticed a clicking sound between his lips and teeth: "Huh? Why is this meat filling so crispy?"
"With the addition of water chestnuts, it is naturally crispy." Su Qingluan explained.
Due to the addition of water chestnuts and the special chewy texture of preserved egg white, both children were addicted to it.
At first, Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan were both greedy because of the rich aroma of the wonton soup and the delicious meat filling. Later, the two children focused more on "playing" than "eating". .
The water chestnuts are crisp and tender, and the preserved eggs are chewy. This wonderful texture is very refreshing for the two children.
So, in order to eat more water chestnuts and preserved egg whites, both children ate more wontons.
And there is a characteristic of children's eating. If two people are unwilling to eat, then they will eat very little of the same food, or even not eat it at all. If one person particularly likes to eat, the other will eat more.
And now this situation is even more serious, when two children like to eat the same thing, and this food seems to be limited - after each person has a bowl, there are more than 20 wontons left in the pot - so the two children Just grab the wontons.
The result of such a rush to eat was that both of them were a little stuffed and couldn't finish the smoked and grilled chicken on the side. Both of their stomachs were a little bloated, and they even felt the food rising as soon as they sat down.
There was no other way, so the brother and sister had no choice but to walk hand in hand in circles in the yard to eat.
Su Xuanhe was better off. After all, he was several years older than Su Xueyan and had better physical fitness. He could walk ten or eight times without any problem;
However, Su Xueyan is only three or four years old. Although she can walk on her own, she often staggers. Later, she felt that she was so tired that she was about to fall asleep. But as soon as she lay down to rest, the food she had eaten started to rise again, making her stomach and throat uncomfortable.
After all, the gastrointestinal digestive function of a three- or four-year-old child is worse than that of a seven- or eight-year-old child.
It happens that smoked chicken is suitable for eating most of the meaty parts during the dinner, and the remaining chicken carcass is suitable for chatting and killing time.
So Su Qingluan and her parents deliberately moved the dining table some distance away from the door. The three of them ate the chicken rack and watched the excitement while staring at the yard. They were too sleepy to open their eyes. However, in order not to accumulate food and vomit in the middle of the night, they still had to A brother and a sister who exercise in laps to eliminate food.
Although she seemed a bit unscrupulous, Su Qingluan only reflected on the position of the eldest sister for a second, and then threw this trivial ideological burden behind her: After all, she has a father and mother above her, right?
What's more, is watching the younger brothers and sisters digesting food called watching the fun? That's called spurring and supervision!
That's for the health of the two little ones!
"These two are really good at this," Ms. Yang said with a helpless smile, "The pork stuffing is delicious with water chestnuts and preserved eggs in it. Are you going to grab it like this?"
Su Guangfu nodded: "It seems that we need to take care of their habit of eating without hesitation when they find something they like."
Yang was worried: "Is it too young?"
Su Guangfu was not worried: "Let's not talk about Sanya. Erzhuang is seven or eight years old and has already gone to school. If we don't control his words and deeds now, he will probably be laughed at by other students."
Su Guangfu knew very well that he and his wife were just ordinary villagers looking for land and housing, and could not provide their son with extra shelter. In this world where people are treated differently based on their origins, Su Guangfu doesn't want his son to receive more looks.
Yang agreed with her husband's words, but she was not a person who thought too much. After hearing this matter, she became concerned, but she would not have trouble sleeping or eating just because of this matter.
On the contrary, she also leisurely commented on Su Qingluan's smoked chicken today: "Da Ya, the chicken today is much more delicious than the 'golden roll' that we usually eat at Hongfu Tower!"
Su Qingluan said that it was naturally delicious. The seasoning was salted pork with "low ham", and the stewing time was very long, which could fully simmer the chicken to make the meat soft and tender.
So although smoked chicken is also used this time, Tong Hung Fook Lau does not use it at all.
While the three of them were eating chicken, they watched two children eating in circles in the yard. Seeing that Su Xueyan couldn't walk anymore and simply squatted on the ground to show off, Su Xuanhe pushed her forward as if she was pushing a weight, which made several people laugh. Even the little girl couldn't hold it back and was so happy.
In the end, Su Qingluan was worried that her younger siblings would feel sick to their stomachs while sleeping like this, so she simply played hide-and-seek with them for a while. After the two children stopped feeling bloated, she turned around and did her own thing with peace of mind.
Originally, Su Qingluan planned to go to Mu Xingzhi's place after dinner to do some business under the pretext of returning the book. However, after all this trouble, Su Qingluan looked at the sky and decided to go tomorrow.
The next day when Su Qingluan handed the recipe for preserved egg and lean meat porridge to Liu Yunniang, he gave her the only remaining one after making eight preserved eggs from the first batch.
Su Qingluan originally struggled with whether giving one was too little? Later, when I thought about the smell of the preserved egg when it was opened, I guess it was a matter of debate as to whether they could accept it.
Su Qingluan thought so and told Liu Yunniang so.
Liu Yunniang didn't have conspiracy theories - she trusted Su Qingluan very much - but she was very curious about "the taste of preserved eggs after they are opened".
Liu Sheng and Mrs. Xi originally knew that Su Qingluan had given a recipe to Liu Yunniang for free, so they hurriedly asked her to return it as soon as possible. Their family could not take such a valuable thing.
After all, in this era where "secret recipes are kept secret", a good recipe can sometimes even determine the life or death of a restaurant!
However, after Liu Yuniang and her parents explained the reason why this recipe could not be quickly put into use for a while, and because they were afraid of the risks of making it, so the core flavor "preserved egg" production method was kept secret for the time being, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief - they were not taking advantage in vain. , they will not have so much psychological pressure.
Su Qingluan and Liu Yuniang made it very clear that if the three members of the Liu family want to eat preserved eggs, they can naturally take them. However, if anyone else is interested in preserved eggs, they will have to pay to get them from Su Qingluan.
The Liu family has no objection to this. For one thing, their family can already get it "for free". Furthermore, if someone really buys the preserved eggs, the benefits will be shared by both families. Although the contract has not been signed yet, Su Qingluan said that she will not let the Liu family's efforts go in vain.
However, the Liu family doesn't mind putting so much effort into Su Qingluan, but...
"Qingluan reminded me more than once that the smell of this preserved egg may be unacceptable to my parents..." Liu Yunniang was curious as she held the preserved egg in her hand: the color looked a little different from ordinary eggs, it was blue-grey, and there seemed to be something on it. There are spots...
During this period, due to diligent exercise and changes in mentality, Yagyu's complexion has improved a lot. Seeing his daughter staring at the small preserved egg in her hand with a suspicious look on her face, he couldn't help but wonder: "My little girl, didn't you say yesterday that you had eaten this preserved egg? Didn't you taste it?"
Is it really that scary?
Madam Xi also stared at the gray and strange eggs: "How do you like eating those preserved eggs?"
Hearing this, Liu Yunniang carefully recalled the taste of the jar of porridge that Su Qingluan gave her yesterday, and nodded after a moment: "It was very delicious, and the only thing I tasted was that the preserved egg was slippery and a little chewy. As for the taste... "
She actually couldn't tell.
All in all, very delicious.
At this time, Liu Yunniang's words aroused the curiosity of both Xi Niangzi and Liu Sheng - so with the relatively reliable guarantee of having a daughter, why was the preserved egg described by Su Qingluan as "never get close enough to smell it"? ?
As the eggshell fell off, the family of three fully understood the reason.
