Chapter 267: Indulgence (Part 2)
Thinking of how Cui Hejin took care of her last night and what Mrs. Cui had just said, her heart was filled with warmth.
Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about making something delicious for Cui Hejin.
I also want to be nice to him.
When Jiang Zhiluo mentioned pumpkin cake, Mrs. Cui was stunned.
In her opinion, this squash is just a vegetable, and it tastes average when stir-fried.
Can you make cakes?
Mrs. Cui understood that as long as the food was researched by Zhiluo, it must be delicious.
She has never eaten vegetable pancakes.
Cui Qingci's eyes brightened up.
The food my sister-in-law cooks is simply delicious.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer."
Cui Qingci said, "I'm used to getting up early, and I can't fall asleep if I lie in bed for a long time."
Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and said, "If you're going to make cakes, it's better to make some porridge as well."
They are also used to making soup or porridge for breakfast.
Cui Qingci knew that Jiang Zhiluo could make porridge of various flavors.
I don't know what she is going to do.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the rice that Madam Cui had already washed, thought for a moment and said, "Since we're going to make porridge with rice, let's make preserved egg and lean meat porridge!"
Speaking of century egg and lean meat porridge, Jiang Zhiluo had never made it, and they had never eaten it either.
Old Madam Cui remembered that when Zhiluo was making preserved eggs before, she had mentioned something about preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
But they haven't eaten it.
Madam Cui asked, "Do you need preserved eggs?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, there are four of us, so let's cut up four preserved eggs and put them in!"
Cui Qingci said, "I'll go get the preserved eggs from the jar."
She looked forward to the food her sister-in-law cooked.
"good."
Cui Qingci ran to get the preserved eggs.
Jiang Zhiluo picked up the green onions and ginger that Mrs. Cui had washed and started cutting them.
Chop the green onion into chopped pieces and cut the ginger into shreds.
Then cut the pork into minced meat.
When Jiang Zhiluo did these, her movements were very quick and her knife skills were very skillful.
By this time, Cui Qingci had also washed the preserved eggs.
"Is it used like this?"
Jiang Zhiluo said, "First, boil the preserved eggs in a pot, then cut them into cubes."
Madam Cui said, "Then I'll light the fire and boil the preserved eggs. They'll cook quickly."
Mrs. Cui put water in the pot and put the preserved eggs in to cook.
"Zhiluo, are you only going to cook four?"
Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and said, "Let's cook four more, so we can have a cold dish to eat in the evening."
"good."
As she spoke, Cui Qingci went to get the preserved eggs to wash.
Jiang Zhiluo washed the squash and shredded it with a julienner.
There was no wire beater in that era. Jiang Zhiluo asked a blacksmith to make one.
This makes it much easier to make wire.
Cut the squash in half, scoop out the pulp, and then shred it.
After beating into shreds, put it in a bowl, then add salt, pepper powder and other seasonings and stir.
Add chopped green onion, mix well and marinate for a while.
Add eggs and mix well.
Then add appropriate amount of flour and water and stir into a paste.
Cui Qingci watched from the side, looking curious.
She has been here for more than a month and has never seen her sister-in-law make this kind of cake. She is very curious when she sees it.
She thought it should be a vegetable, but she didn't expect it could be used to make pancakes.
I don’t know how it tastes either.
Cui Qingci asked, "Sister-in-law, are we going to fry it next? I'll light the fire."
Fortunately, there are two pots in the kitchen, so I can use both pots to cook without any impact.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Well, this pot is for pancakes, and that pot is for porridge."
Cui Qingci hurriedly picked up the firewood and lit another pot on the stove.
When the pan is hot, add oil, then pour in a little batter and fry both sides until golden brown.
After frying one, take it out and put it aside on a plate, then continue frying.
A rich fragrance emanated.
“It smells so good!”
Cui Qingci was obviously not hungry early in the morning, but now she was drooling when she smelled the fragrance.
I feel hungry.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's a little hot right out of the pot. It will cool down after a while. You and mother can try it first to see how it tastes."
"No, no, let's eat together."
"But, sister-in-law, I heard from my eldest brother that he has something to do today, so he won't be going to school."
Cui Qingci was also a little puzzled. Her elder brother had never skipped classes before and he was very self-disciplined.
In the past, I studied and attended classes regardless of rain or shine.
I came here to teach the students, and I can just not go if I want to.
"Ah! Oh, that's it!"
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned. She didn't expect Cui Hejin didn't say it was her idea.
If she told him, she would feel embarrassed if she wanted Cui Hejin to stay at home with her.
Cui Qingci couldn't help but think too much in her heart. Could it be that her brother had heard what she said to him last night?
In fact, she didn't say anything, she just told her eldest brother what the women in the town said.
"Miss Jiang, this isn't easy for you. You used to buy bread, but now you're selling soap. Where's your husband? If he could make money, you wouldn't have to show up in public in this hot weather!"
Yes, that's all she said.
"Zhiluo, the preserved eggs are ready. What should we do next?"
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, I'm frying pancakes right now and can't cut the preserved eggs. Can you help me cut the preserved eggs into cubes?"
"good."
Mrs. Cui opened the pot, scooped out the preserved eggs with a colander, and then rinsed them with cold water.
This way it won't get hot and will be easier to peel.
Next, she peeled the preserved eggs, peeled four of them, and cut them into cubes on the chopping board.
"Zhiluo, is this okay?"
"Mom, put rice and water in the pot, just like you would cook rice porridge. When it's half cooked, add the preserved egg, shredded ginger and minced meat. Once it's cooked, add a little seasoning and it's done."
After hearing this, Mrs. Cui understood and started to cook.
Soon, breakfast was ready.
Jiang Zhiluo went to the yard and called Cui Hejin, "Hurry up and take a rest. It's time to eat first."
Seeing Cui Hejin busy all the time, Jiang Zhiluo felt a little distressed.
Cui Hejin put down the axe and looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a smile.
Jiang Zhiluo's face turned red when she was looked at like that.
"Are you kidding me?"
Cui Hejin smiled and said softly: "No, how could I bear to do that!"
Yes, how can I bear to laugh at her? I just think she is very cute sometimes.
Jiang Zhiluo always has a feeling of being pampered and indulged.
My heart started beating wildly.
"Then you think I'm being unreasonable."
"No, as long as you are happy."
Yeah, he just wanted to make her happy.
But he can't give Zhiluo wealth and glory now.
"If you don't want to go out and do business, you don't have to. I'll support the family!"
His hand is now healed and he can do more things without letting his family go hungry.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "No, I think it's good this way. Every day is quite fulfilling."
Compared to modern times, business was not so competitive back then, and there were not many people who knew how to cook, so it was easier to set up a stall and do business.
Maybe because he is here, she also likes this place and this era.
Even the air you breathe is fresh.
Living here has a slow pace, is very comfortable, and gives you a feeling of vacation and leisure.
"Would you mind if I showed up to do business?"
She doesn't care about anyone's opinion, but his.
What those women said yesterday also made her think seriously.
