"Okay, if you find it troublesome, you can just rest at home," Shen Gongqi said.
"It's too boring to stay at home all day long. I still like to go out for a walk from time to time. I'm not tired from mowing the grass. It's just like going out for a walk," Fang Nuo said.
Seeing that she really liked working, Shen Gongqi didn't say anything more and went to fetch water for her to take a bath.
After Fang Nuo went to take a shower, he took Yaya into the kitchen and started preparing dinner for the three of them.
After doing this job a few times, he will become more proficient.
Now at home, whenever he is free, he does all the meals and other chores.
By the time Fang Nuo came out of the shower, dinner had been prepared. The three of them sat around the kitchen table and started eating dinner.
After dinner, it was still dark outside, so Shen Gongqi took Yaya to water the vegetable field.
Now there is a water storage tank on both sides of the vegetable field. The waste water is usually collected in it, and it is enough to water the vegetable field at home every now and then.
This eliminates the need for Shen Gongqi to fetch ten times of water for watering the ground every time. After all, just working every day is tiring enough.
After watering the ground, it started to get dark outside, so Shen Gongqi took Yaya to walk in the yard for a while, then boiled water to wash up, and went home to rest.
The next day, Fang Nuo went to the field to take a look and saw many edible snails in the field.
She picked up a lot of snails in the field along the edge of the field and took them home to raise. After vomiting the mud for a few days, she would cook them and eat them.
After two days, the eels and loaches at home were almost gone, so Fang Nuo thought about cooking them and eating them, otherwise it would be wasted if they were raised to death.
Thinking about the afternoon, after Shen Gongqi went out to work and Yaya took a nap, she took a small bench and sat in the yard, processing all the eels and loaches.
To kill an eel, knock it unconscious first, then fix the side of the eel on a wooden board, use a knife to cut from the cervical vertebra to the tail, then clean out the internal organs, then remove the bones of the eel, and chop off the unnecessary eel. Just clean the remaining blood and internal organs from the fish head.
Getting an eel off is also a relatively complicated process, and it took her more than an hour.
Cleaning loaches is much simpler. First put all the loaches in a basin without water, then sprinkle some salt, cover the basin with something and the loaches will be suffocated for a while, and then clean them. The first step was to take the pot and cook it.
In the evening, she was going to make a loach tofu soup, a spicy eel dish, and stir-fry a green vegetable.
After packing up the eels, she went out and bought a piece of white tofu.
Yaya woke up not long after she came back, picked up the little girl, fed her some food, and let her play in the yard. Fang Nuo sat under the eaves and watched.
When there were plenty of pastries, Shen Gongqi came back, and Fang Nuo gave Yaya to him to take with him, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
First she steamed all the staple food, and today she also steamed a few eggs, and then steamed buns and egg sauce.
Fang Nuo now makes a sauce for dipping vegetables at every meal.
After all, there are a lot of vegetables in my yard, and if I don’t consume some of them at every meal, they will be wasted.
The cucumbers and peppers are just beginning to bloom now, so it will take a while before they can be eaten.
Therefore, their most recent pickles are green onions and various side dishes.
The rainy season will come in a few days, and Fang Nuo will start looking for mushrooms in the mountains.
Most of what she hoarded last year was taken to the farm, leaving only some food for herself.
This year, there is one more person to eat at home, so she has to prepare some and send some to the farm when the time comes.
After returning from the farm, she would send something there every now and then.
It was too expensive and she didn't dare to send it, so she sent some wild vegetables picked from the mountains and dried. Every time, she would secretly stuff strips of bacon or something into the wild vegetables, as well as some medicine to treat illnesses, just in case they would catch a cold accidentally. Gone.
After steaming all the staple food, she started cutting the side dishes that would be used later.
The staple food over there has been cut and steamed. After picking it all out, clean the water at the bottom of the pot, boil it dry, and pour a little oil.
Heat the oil and add the cleaned loach. Fry until both sides are golden brown. Add ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. Then pour some boiling water and cook for a while before adding the tofu.
Because this dish needs to be cooked over low heat for a while, she scoops it out and puts it on a small clay stove to cook slowly. Season with salt and pepper before taking it out of the pot, and then sprinkle in a little green onion and coriander.
The loach tofu was stewing over there, and she started making the next dish, spicy eel shreds.
First cut the killed eel into sections and shreds, then add salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, shredded ginger, and green onions to marinate for flavor.
Then heat up more oil in the pan. When the oil temperature is 70%25 hot, add in shredded eel and fry until brownish red. Take it out.
Leave the base oil in the pot, add minced ginger, minced green onion, chili oil, Sichuan pepper powder, salt, monosodium glutamate and sesame oil and stir-fry evenly, then add the fried eel shreds, stir-fry a few times, sprinkle some cooked sesame seeds and remove from the pot. .
She picked off the eel bones without throwing them away. Instead, she fried them into crispy pieces and added some dried chili segments to stir-fry them.
The last step is to stir-fry a simple green vegetable that consumes a lot of oil. When it comes out of the pan, you shout out: "Wash your hands and eat."
"Okay, we'll come right away," Shen Gongqi replied.
After a while, the two of them walked in. Smelling the aroma of the kitchen, Shen Gongqi asked: "What delicious food did you cook today? It smells so good."
"Yaya smelled it too, it's very fragrant. Mom, I want to eat a lot," little Yaya also said
"They were the eels and loaches I caught in the fields a few days ago. They were almost done, so I got them to eat. This is also the first time I've made them myself. I don't know if they taste good or not," Fang Nuo said.
"It must be delicious. Yaya, please sit down first. Uncle, go help mom." Shen Gongqi said to Yaya who had already sat on the dining chair.
"Okay, uncle, go ahead," Yaya agreed.
After the two of them put the food on the table, Fang Nuo scooped out a bowl of tofu soup for each of them and said, "Drink some soup first. When you eat loach, remember not to eat the internal organs."
After saying this to Shen Gongqi, he put two loaches in the empty bowl in front of him, separated the meat from them, and then scooped them out with a spoon for Yaya to eat.
Shen Gongqi watched how she did it. After he learned how to do it, he took the empty bowl and said: "Eat it yourself, I will feed Yaya."
"Okay, give her less food," Fang Nuo said.
"Um"
"Yeah, this loach is delicious," Yaya said
"If it's delicious, just eat it obediently. Next time you meet mom, I'll catch it for you to eat," Fang Nuo said when he saw that she liked it.
"Well, today Yaya wants to eat a big bowl of rice," Xiao Yaya said
Then he picked up his own spoon, took a big spoonful of rice, and put it in his mouth.
Unfortunately, my mouth was too small, so I only ate half of the meal, and half of it fell on the table of the dining chair.
The little guy quickly looked at the two adults and found that they didn't look at him. He thought they hadn't noticed. He quickly grabbed the food on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then pretended like nothing happened just now. , continue to eat.
