When Su Qingluan returned home, his father and younger brother had already returned.
Su Xuanhe was okay. Although it was the first day he went to school after "recovering from a serious illness", the child was very energetic, and he was about to eat, so the kid was very energetic and was taking Su Xueyan in the yard. Playing like crazy, the whole yard was filled with the clear laughter of the two children.
But Su Guangfu was obviously very tired. Sitting on the bamboo stool in front of his house, his upper and lower eyelids were a little twitching. Su Qingluan felt that if the temperature was more suitable and warmer, he could fall asleep directly.
"Dad, if you're too tired, why don't you go in and take a nap for a while?" Su Qingluan walked to Su Guangfu and asked in a low voice with some distress.
Su Guangfu shook his head: "Your mother-in-law is already serving food in the kitchen, so you don't need much time."
"But……"
Su Guangfu patted Su Qingluan's arm with his rough big hand: "Don't worry, Dad just rested for a long time and his whole body is a little loose. He suddenly started working today, which is just a bit unaccustomed."
Su Qingluan originally just wanted Su Guangfu, who no longer worked as a stall owner, to make a living, but he didn't really intend to make his own father work hard and suffer every day. Seeing Su Guangfu looking so tired, she immediately felt distressed and said quickly, "Dad, why don't you let others do this work and you can just be the supervisor."
Mr. Yang, who was carrying dishes and rice to the main hall, passed by and heard Su Qingluan's words. He smiled and said, "Da Ya, you don't know your father very well. If someone is a carpenter and mason in front of him, he will have to give it to him." Someone else finds something wrong.”
However, Su Guangfu raised his head and argued unconvinced: "Why do you mean that I 'have to find something wrong with others'? They work so sloppily and incoherently, but they still can't let me say a few words? Besides, I'm not Did you also help them change? Just tell me if I am better than them at work, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, you are the best in the world, and all the mortises and tenons you make are carved!" Yang teased rudely, "Who is the one who suffers the consequences? It's not me anyway."
As he said that, he carried the earthen pot of rice stew into the main room, put the earthen pot aside, and made a "dong" sound: "Okay, don't think about that job there, come over to eat quickly, otherwise the food will be gone." It's going to be cold." After saying that, he called Su Qingluan, "Da Ya, go to the yard and call those two crazy kids back. As long as I don't say anything, they will all go wild!"
Su Qingluan smiled and went to ask her brother and sister to eat. The two children were playing wildly and were indeed hungry. Su Qingluan led them to wash their hands. Neither of them bargained and said they wanted to play a little longer, so they went there obediently.
No wonder, today's big stew is so fragrant - how could it not be fragrant? Such a big and plump lower belly!
Today's dish is only one dish in a big pot - sauerkraut and blood sausage stewed with white meat.
Because she bought a big piece of pork belly, which was almost as big as a bowl of rice. Yang was afraid that it would not be enough, so she took out two whole pieces of sauerkraut, plus the blood sausage that Su Qingluan cut off into a small mountain. , the portion of this "dish" is quite large.
Su Xueyan sat at the table and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mom, this pot is so big today, it can even stew me!"
Yang laughed and scolded when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about? Bah, bah, bah, children's words are unbridled, and the wind will blow them away!"
Su Qingluan smiled and smoothed things over: "My sister has never seen such a big pot. Mom, please don't get angry with her at the dinner table, or you will get a stomachache later."
Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not angry, but you girl, how did you come up with such a weird description?"
In fact, it's not surprising that Su Xueyan said this. It was really that the casserole for stewing sauerkraut was too big. Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that it can stew a child over three years old.
...And this description is indeed very scary. No wonder Yang almost went berserk.
But this is enough to show how visually stunning such a large casserole is for children.
Yang sighed: "If you don't use such a big pot, you won't be able to hold the ingredients. What's more, if the pot is too small, my sauerkraut will be stewed for two whole hours, and the soup will be lost."
Su Xuanhe was stunned when he heard the time: "Two hours?! Does it need to be stewed for that long?"
Su Qingluan explained with a smile: "Sauerkraut absorbs oil. If it is not stewed for a longer time, the fat in the pork belly will not penetrate into the sauerkraut, and the sauerkraut will taste very astringent and not delicious." "
Su Xueyan asked cautiously: "Is pickled cabbage sour? I don't like sour things!" As she said that, she probably thought about what the so-called "sour" tasted like, and her little face wrinkled into a bun.
Su Qingluan touched her sister's fluffy hair: "Xueyan, you can take a little bit and taste it first. If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it!"
In fact, although sauerkraut is called "sauerkraut", after it is taken out of the pottery jar where the sauerkraut is pickled, in order to clean the stains on the surface, the sauerkraut must be put into water.
What's more, Ms. Yang knew that the two little ones at home didn't like to eat things that were too sour, so she rinsed them more carefully when passing through the water, and even picked each pickled cabbage leaf individually and washed it.
Coupled with the addition of blood sausage and pork belly stewed together, the sour smell that originally made people frown has been greatly weakened, leaving only a light sour taste with a bit of special aroma.
Moreover, this sour taste is very anti-greasy and can decompose the fat in the fatty meat, making the fat of the originally fatty pork belly melt away in the mouth with just one sip, and the taste is also more refreshing and no longer greasy. It's more of the flavor of the pork itself.
Su Qingluan picked up a piece of pork belly and squinted her eyes in contentment: Well, indeed the pork belly slices in the stewed sauerkraut are the best!
After being cooked for a long time, the pork belly slices have turned into a slightly transparent color. When placed on the white rice, they look even more moist and attractive.
When the pork belly is rolled into a mouthful of rice, the aromas of rice and oil instantly merge and stimulate each other, forming another more layered aroma. After eating, you can simply sublimate it in place.
Su Qingluan thought so and took another bite of sauerkraut.
After being cooked for a long time, the sauerkraut is saturated with oil and becomes softer, glutinous and plump. When you take a bite, the slightly acidic juice bursts out in your mouth, diluting the greasy taste of pork belly and refreshing your mouth. , and at the same time, the slightly sour taste stimulates appetite and makes people appetite.
The taste of the blood sausage is also just right, not raw or overcooked.
The original fishy smell of blood sausage is perfectly blended into the stew by the sourness of sauerkraut, forming a unique aroma. The blood tofu absorbs the oil and becomes softer and smoother.
This made the two little guys a little resistant to blood sausage at first, but they couldn't stop after taking the first bite.
This stewed sauerkraut is really a great dish to go with rice. The best proof is that everyone didn't even talk much today, they all just kept their heads down and cooked.
For a moment, there was nothing in the house except the slight sound of chewing.
