Chapter 35 Precious
Jiang Zhiluo originally thought that she could harvest no more than 100 kilograms in the afternoon.
The main reason was that Jiang Zhiluo didn't want to spend money just to collect beets, as that would cost a lot of copper coins. It was more important to make brown sugar as soon as possible and sell it to the Qian family.
Mrs. Cui naturally had no objection, so she listened to Zhiluo and the two of them began to wash and peel the beets.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that some beets had been peeled, so she quickly cut them and then cooked them in another pot.
After Jiang Zhiluo poured the well water with spiritual spring water, she thought about it and decided to light a fire, and she couldn't help but look at Cui Hejin.
Cui Hejin seemed to sense something, turned around and looked at Jiang Zhiluo, meeting her watery eyes.
I just felt that her eyes were as clean and clear as glass. When she looked at someone, she had a lively luster and seemed to be able to speak.
Cui Hejin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he frowned and said in a low voice: "I will help light the fire and watch the pots on both sides."
A bright light flashed across Jiang Zhiluo's eyes.
She said he was a good person, just like he was in that life.
Even though she didn't say anything, he understood.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Cui Hejin looked at her happy expression, shook his head and laughed silently.
Jiang Zhiluo handed the matters here to Cui Hejin, and went to the yard to continue working with Old Madam Cui.
After the first pot of beets was cooked and the sweet aroma of the syrup came out, Jiang Zhiluo went back and stirred it.
She looked at the other pot and found that the pig offal had been braised.
When you open the lid of the pot, a rich aroma comes out.
Mrs. Cui, who was peeling beets in the yard, couldn't help but look back and say, "It smells so good!"
Mrs. Cui naturally knew that this was the taste of braised pig offal.
She had never thought that this thing could be so fragrant, and she had no idea what it tasted like.
I only remember Zhiluo saying that she would make roujiamo for dinner.
She also doesn't know what roujiamo is.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that everything in the pot was cooked, so she put the food in a large ceramic pot and covered it with a lid to prevent heat dissipation.
But if it gets cold, she will just heat it up again.
Mainly to pour out the pot so that the beets can be cooked.
After the beets in the other pot were cooked, Jiang Zhiluo filtered out the beets, poured the sugar water back into the pot, and started to boil.
This outturned pot is used to cook beets.
By using both pots, all the beets should be cooked by midnight.
But I still have to make the steamed buns for Roujiamo later, and they have to be baked after they are ready.
I don’t have a frying pan at home, so I have to use a big pot.
Jiang Zhiluo has scheduled her schedule fully.
She first went to the yard to help peel the beets. After all the beets were peeled, Mrs. Cui helped watch the pot.
Seeing that the dough had risen, she took out the working board and started making the roujiamo buns.
Mrs. Cui was impressed by how her daughter-in-law arranged everything in an orderly manner.
She thought that someone like Zhiluo, who was in charge of the household affairs in the Duke's Mansion and managed a large family, would definitely be able to manage it well.
This ability is too strong.
If she had to do so many things at once, her brain wouldn't be able to keep track of them.
And she works really fast, especially peeling beets.
As Mrs. Cui stirred the syrup in the pot, she watched Jiang Zhiluo pinching and kneading the dough so quickly that her hands looked like afterimages.
By the evening, two pots of brown sugar had been cooked.
Pour out a pot and Jiang Zhiluo bakes steamed buns.
In another pot, reheat the previously cooked pork offal.
In this way, after the steamed buns were baked, Jiang Zhiluo cut the braised pork offal into pieces on the chopping board and put them into the steamed buns.
She first installed nine.
Some braised food is put in jars first, and some steamed buns are also put aside first, and then put into the steamed buns when eating the next day.
Mrs. Cui was stunned when she saw how this was being eaten. "Zhiluo, is this roujiamo?"
It looks very appetizing.
If she didn't know it was made from pig offal, she would have thought it was a very elegant delicacy.
But just looking at it and smelling it, I know it must be delicious.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Actually, the real Roujiamo tastes better when made with pork front leg meat, but that's expensive and the cost is high, so I thought of braising it and making Roujiamo with pork offal."
When Jiang Zhiluo mentioned pig offal, she clearly saw that Cui Hejin's face seemed to have turned even paler. Her originally picturesque eyes, which were naturally cold, were now filled with a wisp of mist.
“Ahem…”
Cui Hejin's fingers were slender, with distinct joints, as delicate as cold jade. At this moment, they were placed on his lips, gently suppressing his cough.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the roujiamo in her hand, blinked, and said, "Well, if you don't want to eat it, I'll make you something else."
She thought it would be fine to just eat the stir-fried dishes with steamed buns.
Mrs. Cui also looked at her son cautiously.
My son has been very particular about eating since he was young.
Even after being exiled, some habits are hard to break.
There are some foods that he won't eat even if he is hungry.
But Mrs. Cui was afraid that he would say something to make Zhiluo sad.
After all, Zhiluo spent an entire afternoon making this.
Besides, who doesn’t want to eat something delicious? But given the conditions at home, we can only use pig offal to make this kind of roujiamo.
If she used the pig's front legs, she didn't know how much it would cost. Zhiluo was also trying to save money for the family.
Mrs. Cui was about to say something when she heard Cui Hejin Qingyou say, "It's okay, just eat this."
Mrs. Cui suspected that she had heard it wrong, but looking at her son's expression, she knew that he was serious.
So she breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "You don't have to force yourself. Cooking a dish is easy."
"It's okay. Food is precious."
Jiang Zhiluo hesitated for a moment and explained, "This one is actually washed very clean and tastes just as good."
"I was thinking that after Dad helps me build the food cart, I might be able to set up a stall to sell this roujiamo."
Jiang Zhiluo did have this idea. She set up a stall to sell food in the morning and sold brown sugar at home in the afternoon.
If you work harder, you can earn money earlier and buy land.
Madam Cui said, "It smells good and tastes delicious, so many people will definitely buy it."
Most people at the dock don’t care much about food, especially those who work on ships and transport cargo. For them, having enough to eat is enough.
Of course, wealthy families may be particular and don’t like to eat pig offal.
"Zhiluo, just make the arrangements. Mom will help you when the time comes."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and smiled, and the three of them sat at the dining table and started eating.
Jiang Zhiluo took a bite and found that it was indeed delicious, cooked soft and tasty.
I felt much more comfortable after eating the warm food.
After taking a few bites, Mrs. Cui was amazed. “Food made from pig offal can be so delicious.”
"Zhiluo, Mom thinks setting up a stall selling Roujiamo is feasible. This thing is so delicious, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it."
Besides, it is cut into small pieces, so who can tell that the contents are pig offal? It tastes so oily and even tastes better than cooked meat.
"Zhiluo, you're still the best at seasoning."
This cooking skill is impeccable!
