Chapter 3174 Oil Residue
Zhou Man and Mingda sat in the kitchen holding their children, constantly inhaling the aroma and drooling. The two children in their arms stared at the spoon in Xiao Qian's hand, with saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths.
Mingda wiped Bai Ruoyu's saliva with a handkerchief in disgust, "Why are you so greedy?"
Zhou Man stared at her sister-in-law's spoon without blinking, just like her daughter, and said without turning her head, "He looks like his father."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian turned around and glared at her, urging her, "What are you doing in the kitchen on such a hot day? I'll serve it to you when I'm done."
Zhou Man inhaled the aroma of meat and shook his head, saying, "The kitchen is huge. It's not even hot sitting here."
Mingda nodded. "If it's hot, just ask someone to bring a basin of ice."
"Oh, the oil in this pot may not be worth as much as a basin of ice." It's not worth it to spend a basin of ice just to watch her refine oil.
That's right, Xiao Qian was refining oil. Pieces of oil residue were slowly floating up. In the stove, there was only a small fire burning red-hot wood. The oil in the large pot was bubbling. The oil residue was getting smaller and smaller, until it was only as small as half a finger...
Xiao Qian scooped up the oil residue, squeezed the oil out and placed it on a large plate. She quickly sprinkled a little salt on it, and the salt disappeared instantly when it came into contact with the hot oil residue.
Xiao Qian brought the plate over and placed it on the table.
The two children's eyes followed and fell on the table. Bai Jingxing was the first to react and reached out to grab it.
Zhou Man quickly grabbed it and said, "Don't grab it with your hands. Besides, you can't eat this, but I can."
The oil residue was incredibly fragrant. Although it looked a little burnt, it was incredibly fragrant. It was so fragrant that Mingda, who usually ate a light diet and didn't pay much attention to his appetite, couldn't help but look over again and again. After Zhou Man finished speaking, he said, "Can I eat it too?"
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, you can definitely do it." His eyes sparkled.
Seeing how greedy she was, Xiao Qian picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. Bai Jingxing was waiting with her mouth open, but she saw that her aunt actually gave the meat to her mother behind her instead of her. She immediately turned around to look at Zhou Man, stared at her for a long time, and when she saw that she had no intention of sharing, her mouth pursed and she was about to cry.
Zhou Man's lips and teeth were filled with sweetness, and he was extremely happy. Seeing that she was about to cry, he quickly turned around and said to Wu Yue, "Quick, quick, bring the egg custard over."
Wu Yue brought two bowls of egg custard and took the two children with the palace maid.
Four adults and two children filled the table, and the mother-son and mother-daughter pairs were still facing each other.
So Zhou Man and Mingda ate a piece of oil residue, and the two children ate a mouthful of egg custard. Bai Ruoyu ate it with gusto, but Bai Jingxing did not.
Although she ate a lot, she was obsessed with the oil residue on the table and always wanted to reach out and grab it when the adults were not paying attention. Although she always caught nothing, her persistence could be seen from the frequency of her reaching out.
Xiao Qian defined her as, "She is more mischievous than Dabao."
Zhou Man said, "That's called cleverness. She knows that oil residue is more fragrant and delicious than egg custard."
Mingda went to look at the quiet Bai Ruoyu and nodded, "Yes, Dajie is smarter than Dabao."
Although they liked to eat it, they didn't dare to eat too much. After eating a few pieces, they restrainedly put down their chopsticks and said, "Sister-in-law, should we put this on the meat stall?"
Xiao Qian replied, "There's still a lot of oil. It was delivered this morning after we slaughtered the pig."
She said, "I'll refine it and give them some oil residue tomorrow to put on the stall for people to taste. I hope I can sell more."
Zhou Man said: "Steamed pork with rice flour, meatballs, steamed spareribs with rice flour, and even stewed pig's trotters are all delicious."
Xiao Qianshi: "...This is a free sample, just to let people know that our pork is good, but we can't lose money just to gain publicity."
Zhou Man: "Oil is expensive too."
"That's oil residue. I've already refined the oil," said Xiao Qian. "If you want to eat it, I'll make it at home later."
Zhou Man was about to agree when Mingda reminded him, "Manbao, we've finally managed to get back to normal shape. If we keep eating like this, we'll get fatter, right?"
Zhou Man thought about it and said confidently: "I will just do one more set of boxing when I get up in the morning and before I wash up in the evening."
She can work very hard to eat.
Xiao Qian's favorite thing to do is to feed Manbao, and she nodded repeatedly.
The oil had cooled down a bit, so Xiao Qian asked someone to bring an oil jar to collect the oil. Then she used the oil from the bottom and surface of the pot to make a pot of noodles, and put some vegetables and oil residue in it. After serving the noodles, Mingda, who felt that he was full, was actually hungry.
She touched her arms and really felt that they were a lot rounder than before.
Mingda felt happy whenever she thought of this, as it meant that her health was better than before.
Xiao Qian served some noodles and asked the servants to take them to Zheng, Bai Shan and Yin Huo, while the three of them ate in the kitchen.
It was fine for others, but it was Yin Huo’s first time to eat oil residue, so he didn’t recognize it and didn’t pick up his chopsticks immediately.
He picked up a piece of oil residue and looked up at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. He saw that they were eating a bowl of noodles each and were enjoying the meal. He couldn't help but be curious, "What kind of meat is this?"
"This isn't meat, it's fat residue." Bai Shan paused, tilting his head in thought, "By the way, can you eat fat residue?"
Bai Erlang immediately looked up and said vaguely while eating noodles: "I probably can't eat it, give it to me."
He pushed his bowl over and signaled Yin Huo to move the oil residue over.
Yin Huo hesitated for a moment, then carefully put it into his mouth and chewed it...
Shirojiro:......
Bai Shan looked at him and smiled, then asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Yin Huo frowned and nodded, "It's quite fragrant, but a little rough. But it feels crispy in the mouth and is delicious."
The most important thing is that oil comes out after he chews it, but it doesn’t feel greasy, and he likes it very much.
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Eat it if you like. Manbao and the others are eating in the kitchen. Since they can ask the servants to bring it to you, it's obvious that you can eat it."
Bai Erlang took back the bowl with regret, turned around and said to the servant, "Are there any more? Mrs. Zhou's fried oil residue is the most delicious. It's also very good as a snack sprinkled with salt. Go to the kitchen and take a look. If there is any left, bring a plate."
Bai Shan said: "Don't eat too much, be careful of indigestion."
Turning around, he instructed the servants, "Ask if there are any side dishes. Noodles are also delicious with the side dishes made by my sister-in-law."
The servant responded and left.
After the servants left, the three of them ate slowly while talking. "The autumn harvest can begin in some places. It is my duty as the county magistrate to ensure the harvest. The people from the Salt Transport Bureau will be here soon. Who of you will entertain them for me?"
Bai Erlang remained silent. Yin Huo said, "Let Bai Er go. He is the prince consort and the most suitable person."
Bai Shan thought so too, so he looked at Bai Erlang.
