Yao Qiyue had no time to prepare the cake because of Jiang's mother's disturbance.
She also has to prepare meals for Jiang Mei in the evening.
After thinking for a while, she picked up the backpack and walked to the market.
If Yao Qiyue walked faster, she would reach the market in about fifteen minutes.
This time she had a clear destination and it didn't take as long as before.
The vegetable seller had already secured a spot for her and waved hard when she saw Yao Qiyue coming over.
"Comrade Yao, why did you come so late? Quite a few people are waiting here."
Yao Qiyue squeezed through smoothly.
"Auntie, I can't sell cakes today. I want to buy some vegetables from you."
"I have some relatives coming to my house today, so I'll treat them to a treat tonight."
"How about this, come back tomorrow and I'll give you buy one get one free on all my cakes."
There was an uproar in the crowd, and someone shouted, "Is there still a discount?"
Yao Qiyue nodded. "A piece of cake is 50 cents. Buy one, get one free."
The crowd, who were originally full of complaints, were now extremely happy.
"You are such an open boss, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Yao Qiuyue took the opportunity to look down at the dishes on the old lady's stall and think about what to cook.
Hearing this, she said without hesitation: "My cakes are delicious. If you come here often, you won't lose out."
"Everyone, I'm really in a hurry to get home today, so I won't chat with you any more."
While answering everyone's questions, Yao Qiyue was also thinking about what to buy.
"Auntie, please fill me with potatoes, pumpkins, and beans."
"Garnish me with some hot peppers and eggplant, too."
"A few heads of lettuce, too."
The vegetable seller packed and weighed the vegetables for Yao Qiuyue in an orderly manner.
"Comrade, three pounds of potatoes are tall..."
"Look at the scale..."
The old-fashioned weight in the old lady's hand was about arm-length, with a golden hook at the front.
The scale rod is made of wood, polished to a very bright finish, with a dark brown luster. There are golden dots of different sizes on it, and a weight tied with a hemp rope is hung on it.
Yao Qiyue smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, just weigh it. I'm very relieved!"
She couldn't understand the title, so why bother herself?
The old lady was so happy when she heard this, and quickly stuffed a handful of potatoes and vegetables into the bag.
"Take these back and eat them. Auntie is giving them to you."
"It's weighed, and you give me fifty cents in total."
It is not easy for the old lady to grow some vegetables, and Yao Qiuyue did not refuse her kindness.
I counted out a small stack of 15 cents and put in an extra 20 cents.
"Oh, thank you, Auntie. I'm in a hurry to go back, so I'll leave first."
Yao Qiuyue put the things into the backpack and left in a hurry.
At work today, Yao Qiuyue specially saved a piece of pork belly weighing more than one pound for herself, spending the only meat ticket she had.
There is also pig offal that does not require a ticket, but there is not much left, only half a portion of pig offal and a small half of the liver.
Although Yao Qiyue had the original owner's memories, she did not have the skills to cut pork. Today, all the pig's internal organs and offal were used as extras and were lost.
Few people in the south city come specifically to buy pig offal, perhaps because they find the intestines difficult to clean, or because they think the cooked offal tastes bad.
Yao Qiuyue just took it as a bonus, but many people refused.
Even if someone is craving meat, few people would spend money to buy pig offal.
This is a good deal for Yao Qiyue.
Yao Qiuyue returned home and put down the backpack.
There was well water in the Yao family's kitchen, and she put the vegetables in the basin to wash them.
The three people in the room heard the noise and came over.
"Let me wash the vegetables."
"Xiaomei can look after Xiaobao."
Jiang Ye took the vegetable bowl from Yao Qiyue's hand and washed it carefully.
Jiang Mei hugged Xiaobao and nodded: "Sister-in-law, I can play with Xiaobao."
Yao Qiyue did not refuse Jiang Ye's kindness, but just said: "You go in first, I will call you two when the meal is ready."
Jiang Mei obediently took Xiaobao into the house and didn't make trouble in the kitchen.
Seeing that Jiang Ye was cleaning very carefully, Yao Qiyue took out today's pig offal and took it to the yard to clean it.
The intestines really didn't taste good, so Yao Qiyue cleaned them inside and out three or four times.
The last time, Yao Qiyue used flour and salt to clean it, and sure enough, a lot of dirt was washed out.
It took Yao Qiuyue a long time to clean the pig intestines.
Jiang Ye was a little surprised at how skillful Yao Qiyue's movements were. He didn't expect that she could handle such complicated pig offal.
But I felt relieved when I thought about it.
Yao's father has been a butcher for twenty years.
It’s no surprise that Yao Qiuyue knows how to process pig offal.
Yao Qiyue only had the pig's large intestine and small intestine left in her hand, and she wanted to use them to braise the pig intestine later.
There is also a bunch of cockscomb oil here, which Yao Qiuyue plans to use to stir-fry lard and fat residue.
Cut the cockscomb oil into pieces of similar size and pour them into the hot pan and stir-fry directly.
Soon, rich lard and crispy oil residue appeared in the pot.
The lard was poured into a small jar, and Yao Qiuyue picked up a piece of the hot lard and handed it to Jiang Ye.
"Try it?"
Jiang Ye ate one and squinted his eyes because of the delicious taste.
Yao Qiyue's hands kept moving, quickly cutting the intestines into equal sizes. It takes more than an hour to braise the pig intestines, and the Yao family's kitchen is fully stocked with new seasonings.
She stir-fried the intestines with lard. Yao Qiuyue was used to frying the intestines until they were golden brown and then braised them.
Onions, ginger, and garlic are indispensable, and unique spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves must also be added.
Jiang Ye watched Yao Qiyue put eight or nine things in there, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many things?"
Yao Qiyue said confidently: "Don't worry, the intestines will only taste good if these ingredients are added."
Jiang Ye looked at the confident Yao Qiyue steadily. He now liked this energetic Yao Qiyue a little.
Unlike before, what he saw was a girl who was disappointed with life.
He could only watch Yao Qiyue gradually decline in the Jiang family, like a slowly withering flower.
"Then I'll be waiting."
Yao Qiyue has also recently discovered Jiang Ye's youthful attributes, he is stubborn and greedy.
She smiled without saying anything and quickened her hands.
There was braised pork intestines in the pot, and after the fire was boiled, she moved it to a clay pot to continue braising.
She should buy some vegetables today and stew some pumpkin porridge in a clay pot later.
For vegetables, make tiger skin chili peppers and stir-fry vegetables.
Pumpkin porridge is easy to make. Wash the millet, add more water and put it in a clay pot. Cut the pumpkin into cubes and throw it in. Put a simple iron rack under the clay pot.
Chop the firewood into smaller pieces and put them into the iron rack to burn.
Add two spoons of sugar when the fire is on. The longer the fragrant pumpkin porridge is cooked, the softer it will become.
Tiger skin peppers are much simpler.
Yao Qiuyue is willing to use oil when cooking. She heats the pan and puts a large spoonful of lard into the pan to stir-fry.
Cut the chili peppers into sections and put them into the pan to fry until the skin is tender. Then pour in half a bowl of the prepared sauce.
It can be served after stewing for a while.
Jiang Ye felt that it was a torture for him to light the fire in the kitchen.
He couldn't help but take a long breath, and the fragrance became even stronger.
