Chapter 117 There is no doubt about the lady's craftsmanship!
After Tong Xiayue came out of the black market, she entered the space and changed into the clothes and outfit she wore when she went out before. Everything was the same as before.
After returning home, Ye Chunxiang had already returned. Seeing Tong Xiayue had just arrived home, she asked nervously, "Where did you go?"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "I just went out for a walk."
Ye Chunxiang took her hand and said, "Don't go out alone next time. If you have anything, call me. I have nothing to do at home anyway. You have a lot of babies in your belly!"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "I know! I'll call you next time! By the way, what did you do this morning?" Ye
Chunxiang said excitedly, "Guess!"
Tong Xiayue said with disdain, "Didn't you just go to show your love to your second brother?"
Ye Chunxiang pretended to be angry and said, "No, I have good news for you! I have a job!"
Tong Xiayue was surprised and said, "Really? What kind of job is it?"
In fact, with the conditions of the Gu family, they don't need to go to work at all, but Liu Zhen has a child and can take care of the child, and it's not a good thing for Ye Chunxiang to stay at home all day. It's too boring.
So she begged Gu Ren to find her a job. After all, she was educated and had graduated from high school!
Ye Chunxiang said proudly, "Teacher! I want to be a teacher! A Chinese teacher at Jingshi Primary School!"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Ye! Hahaha! Congratulations, second sister-in-law! I'll cook a table for you to celebrate tonight!"
Ye Chunxiang felt embarrassed when she called her Teacher Ye. She smiled and said, "Hahaha, don't call me that at home. It's embarrassing."
Everyone supported Ye Chunxiang's finding a job. It was good to have a teacher at home. Otherwise, a group of soldiers and doctors would be angry at home.
In the afternoon, Tong Xiayue followed Aunt Cao to the market and bought a lot of vegetables, preparing to make a table of delicious food for everyone in the evening.
It was inconvenient for Tong Xiayue to do things with a big belly, so Aunt Cao was responsible for washing and cutting vegetables, and she was only responsible for cooking. Aunt Cao couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw how skillfully she worked: "Miss, did you learn all these skills when you were in the countryside?"
This question was really difficult for Tong Xiayue to answer. She was a food blogger before, and it was not easy to explain it to her. So she smiled and said, "
Well, I guess so."
Aunt Cao felt even more distressed after hearing this : "Alas... You have suffered so much outside for so many years, fortunately you are back."
Tong Xiayue smiled at Aunt Cao's sad face and said, "It's okay, I cook because I like it. I like to think about these foods. I will feel very accomplished when everyone thinks they are delicious."
Aunt Cao agreed, "That's right. Every time I cook, I feel so happy when I see them finish eating!"
Maybe this is what it means to be like-minded and have the same feelings!
Tong Xiayue is going to make a big dish for dinner!
When she went to the market with Aunt Cao in the afternoon, she bought some big bones with the money she earned from selling brine today, thinking of making a new attempt with some big bones in the evening.
Although it is also a kind of brine, the taste of different ingredients is also very different. Braised pork bones are a famous dish in Northeast China in the modern world!
Every time I go to eat Northeastern cuisine, I always order two. The greasy pork bones are stewed until they are soft and tasty. The most delicious part is the pork bone marrow inside! It is so fragrant!
Before, when she was in the real world, Tong Xiayue also released a video, which specifically taught everyone how to make braised pork bones. The number of likes and collections exceeded one million!
In the 1970s, few people would buy pork bones. There was not much meat, and the bones took up a lot of weight. Most people thought it was more economical to buy some meat.
Therefore, Tong Xiayue only spent two yuan to buy ten bones!
This was also something Tong Xiayue did not expect. She originally thought it would be very expensive, and was prepared to spend a lot of money, but who knew that she got it so cheap!
Moreover, these bones were not cold at all, and each bone had a lot of meat on it. People in the 1970s might have had some misunderstandings about bones?
Aunt Cao saw that she bought so many bones and didn't know what she wanted to do. She just put the big bones in the big pot at home to blanch them according to her request. The
blanched bones were picked up and cleaned for use. Tong Xiayue poured half a pot of water into the big pot, and then added cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, grass fruit, ginger and other seasonings, and then added soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, rock sugar, salt, and two spoons of Northeastern soybean paste!
Of course, she put it in secretly when Aunt Cao was busy with other things. Many of the seasonings were taken out from the space. They could not be bought in Beijing. She packed the seasonings in a small gauze bag in advance and threw them directly into the pot.
Put the big bones in and boil them over high heat, then switch to low heat and simmer until they are cooked.
This process takes at least an hour and a half. She and Aunt Cao also made three fresh dishes, pot-wrapped meat, and a dish of pickled cabbage and white meat, plus a few home-cooked stir-fries and they were done!
In the evening, Gu Zhen and Gu Ren came back first. As soon as they walked into the yard at the doorstep, they smelled a different aroma. Gu Ren ran into the house and asked, "Aunt Cao, what did you cook today that smells so good?"
Aunt Cao was just walking out with sauerkraut and pork. When she saw them coming back, she smiled and said, "I didn't cook the meal today. I was just helping. The dishes today were all made by the young lady!"
Gu Zhen looked at the full plate of food on the dining table and said in surprise, "Did my little sister cook it?"
Tong Xiayue, who was sitting aside, smiled and said, "What? Don't you believe in my little sister's cooking skills?"
They had eaten the little sister's cooking several times before, but each time it was only one or two dishes. Her cooking skills were indeed good, but they never thought her cooking skills could be so amazing. Even Aunt Cao couldn't cook so many dishes. She was comparable to the chef of a state-owned hotel!
At this time, Gu Qizheng and Gu Laoyezi also came back. Seeing the dishes on the table, Gu Laoyezi smiled and said, "Wow, what day is it today? So many dishes? Fortunately, we are back today, otherwise we would have missed it."
Gu Qizheng smiled and said, "That's right!"
Tong Xiayue stood up and said with a smile, "Today is a celebration banquet! Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
Gu Qizheng and Gu Laoyezi were confused, and didn't know what the girl was up to. They just obeyed and washed their hands.
Everyone sat together, and saw that there was a large empty space in the middle of the table without anything. At this time, Aunt Cao brought out a large basin of bones from the kitchen!
Seeing this large basin of pig bones, everyone was stunned. What kind of way is this to eat? I have never seen it before.
Tong Xiayue looked at everyone's stunned expressions and said with a smile: "This is braised pork ribs, try it."
They usually don’t buy pork bones, and they have never eaten them at home. They usually buy this kind of big bones, remove the meat, and feed the bones directly to the dog...
But now Tong Xiayue directly made it into a dish and put it on the table...
Gu Qizheng really gave his daughter the most face. He had seen her cooking skills before. The humble pig offal could make such delicious food. The pork bones in front of him must be extraordinary!
He picked up a pork bone and started to chew it. As he expected, there was no doubt about his daughter’s cooking skills!
