Chapter 51 Lard cooking
Nangong Yao was about to give Sister a bean paste bun, when she saw something on the cutting board, she said, "Ah, Sister, I just ate pheasant yesterday, so tonight we want to eat meat again? Why is this meat white? of? I haven't eaten this kind of meat."
Nangong Anshan laughed and said: "Good boy, this meat is eaten differently from the usual way. You'll know after sister boils it, it can make a lot of delicious food."
There is no stir-fry in Qinglong Kingdom, and people used suet as ordinary meat to roast and eat.
It was only later that people discovered that suet had too much oil, and some people used suet as daily necessities.
Like her, there are not many people who boil all the oil and plan to cook it. Apart from her, there are probably not many people.
Nangong Yao saw that sister was cooking the oil seriously, so she was too embarrassed to disturb her, and distributed the bean paste buns to other people, and then sat aside with her family, eating quietly.
After Nangong Sheng and Nangong Xiu finished eating, they started looking for things to do.
Nangong Anshan waited for her second and third brothers to help her chop vegetables after they finished their work.
They had already prepared the firewood, so she didn't worry about it.
After more than half an hour, the lard was also boiled by her, and she poured it all into the container that she had prepared.
Immediately afterwards, she planned to fry vegetables with lard.
As for the refined oil residue, she plans to make small snacks for the children in the family tomorrow morning. If they can't finish eating, they will distribute it to the children of the neighbors.
The dishes were all prepared in advance, so she started cooking directly.
The pots of Qinglong Kingdom are not suitable for cooking, but for the sake of her own mouth, she still asked Boy Tai Le to give her two special pots for cooking.
The frying pan was unlocked when fleeing, and it didn’t cost any merit, so you can get as much as you want now.
Although the family members were curious, they didn't ask any further questions, thinking it was a pot unique to Li Wang's fiefdom.
After less than half an hour, she prepared five stir-fried dishes, and also made a sliced shiitake mushroom egg drop soup.
She didn't leave the stove empty, and put A Niang and Third Brother's medicine on it to boil.
Nangong Xiudao: "Ashan, I will cook the medicine myself in the future. I can also cook Aniang's. You are all working so hard. I have to find something to do."
Nangong Anshan knew that the third brother didn't want people to think that he was a waste who could do nothing, so she nodded, "Okay, third brother, but every time you add a little water from the bamboo tube, it will be more effective."
Nan Gongxiu didn't ask why, but nodded directly, "Okay."
The table and cushions were bought by Nangong Anshan. They couldn’t fit in the tent, so they put them outside temporarily. It’s not too late to build a tent tomorrow, anyway, there is no rain tonight.
In this era, chairs were not yet popular, and people basically sat on cushions to eat.
Nangong Anshan went in and carried Yang Ruolan out, and placed two big cushions beside her, so as not to stain her clothes.
Turning around, she saw that everyone was enjoying the aroma of vegetables.
"Ashan, the dishes you cook are delicious."
"What is this method? It is more fragrant than the dishes you made before."
"This smells really good, it must be delicious."
…
Nangong Anshan smiled and said: "This is stir-fried vegetables. You probably haven't seen it before. It was also taught to me by the gods. Now I only have lard, so I can only use this for the time being. When I make vegetable oil, the taste of the stir-fried vegetables will be the same as that of the vegetable oil." This one is even more different, some dishes are better fried in vegetable oil.”
Nangong Xiu looked at Nangong Sheng blankly: "Second brother, why can't I understand what Ashan said?"
Nangong Sheng said: "I don't understand a little."
Nangong Anshan coughed lightly and said: "In short, I will make more delicious dishes for you to eat in the future. These dishes are fried pork with bamboo shoots, fried pork with leeks, fried pork with fungus, vinegared Chinese cabbage, Stir-fried cabbage, the soup next to it is clear to everyone, it is sliced mushroom and egg drop soup, everyone, eat it quickly, the vegetables fried with lard should be eaten while it is hot, and it will solidify when it is cold."
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. She also wants to cook the delicious food that she ate in her previous life, but there are not many seasonings here.
For example, chili, star anise, garlic, pepper, cumin, etc., she has never seen on the mountain so far, not even soy sauce.
Yang Ruolan picked up the chopsticks, tasted two mouthfuls of fried meat with bamboo shoots, nodded and said: "Not bad, delicious, everyone eat."
All the children quickly picked up the dishes.
At first, they thought that the taste was similar to that of the cooked ones, but they didn't expect the stir-fried vegetables to be so delicious. Just after taking a bite, everyone couldn't stop, and everyone rushed to grab the vegetables to eat.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious."
"It tastes really good."
"It is more fragrant than boiled water."
"It will be great if you can eat it every day from now on."
…
Hearing the praise from her family members as if they didn't want money, Nangong Anshan was in a great mood, "I will make it for you when I have time. If you want to learn, I can also teach you. But I think, you It's better to learn all my crafts, so that when I'm not at home, you can cook delicious food yourself."
Where did they go? When she finds all the seasonings in the future, they will definitely want to swallow the dishes made with those seasonings with their tongues.
Everyone spoke one after another: "I am willing to learn."
"I'm going to make it for A Niang and Sister."
"Me too."
"Me too."
Yang Ruolan was immediately relieved.
Nangong Anshan smiled and said: "Okay, I will teach you when I have a chance, cooking is very simple."
"Um."
The family continued to eat, and quickly ate up all the food on the table.
Nangong Cheng and Nangong Mo took the initiative to wash the dishes.
It's just that the oily bowls are difficult to clean, so Nangong Anshan asked them to use saponins and plant ash to clean them.
Although it is not as good as the dish soap in the previous life, it is better than nothing.
Nan Gongxiu and Yang Ruolan waited for a while, then drank the medicine.
The family simply cleaned up again, walked around the fence to digest food, and fell asleep.
This night, everyone slept comfortably.
The next day, the family ate the dim sum that Nangong Anshan brought back yesterday.
She was planning to continue to go to the mountains to collect herbs, and by the way, she was studying her oil press, when she heard the sound of a gong.
She also roughly guessed why Li Zheng gathered them together, told the third brother not to forget to cook medicine, and asked the second brother to protect them, so she walked over with the two younger brothers.
Zhou Lizheng waited for a while, and when he saw that people were coming, he said: "Everyone, I think you should also know the purpose of my asking you to come. Last time, Mrs. Qiu took out a gold bracelet and asked me to buy food and distribute it to everyone. Atonement."
"And the group of rogues we met last time allowed us to find ten taels of silver. After I got the household registration documents yesterday, I sent my children to the city and exchanged all the gold bracelets and silver for grain. Let’s start distributing food to everyone now.”
