When I was cooking in the afternoon, the sesame oil that was skimped on the last Qiqiao Festival finally came in handy.
In this era of cooking besides steaming, being able to eat authentic stir-fried vegetables is the happiest thing Li Yi can feel at this stage.
Lettuce leaves are used to make a plate of stir-fried green vegetables. After the water celery by the river is blanched in the pot, it also has a special flavor when it is cold.
The pheasant sent by the big man was made by Li Yi into chicken stewed with mushrooms, all of which were fresh ingredients, plus a simple version of Kung Pao Chicken and a delicious mushroom soup, two meat, two vegetables and one soup, which will be seen in later generations It still looks a little shabby, but now it makes Li Yi feel like a Chinese New Year.
For many people living in Liuye Village, perhaps it is impossible to eat so much during the Chinese New Year.
"Little Ring!"
After the last mushroom soup was out of the pot, Li Yi took a sip, and it tasted good, then he yelled out the door.
The figure of the little servant girl ran in like the wind, and hurriedly said: "Young master, what's the matter?"
"Split some of these dishes and send them to Uncle Fang's house. We'll have dinner when you come back." Li Yi took off his apron and said to Xiaohuan while washing his hands.
"I'll go right away!" Just smelling the aroma of those dishes, Xiaohuan was already so greedy, she quickly found a food box from the kitchen, cleaned it, and divided each dish out.
At this time, in a dilapidated courtyard, a dirty bear child looked at the big man surnamed Fang eagerly, and said weakly, "Father, I'm hungry..."
A woman in rough clothes next to her lovingly touched her child's head, and a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
The big man glared at a limping local dog in the yard. The last cornbread in the house was not snatched back in the end. When he turned his head, there was already a bit of bitterness on his face, and he said, "Be patient, wait for me!" Father will pay his wages tomorrow, so he will come back and buy white flour steamed buns for you."
Hearing the white flour steamed buns, a color suddenly appeared in the bear's eyes, he nodded abruptly, and said, "Father, I'm not hungry anymore, I'm going out to play!"
Looking at the back of the child who seemed to be full of vitality, the big man shook his head helplessly. For them, as long as one year's harvest is not good, the next whole year will be suffering.
At the same time, the brat who opened the door and was about to run out, saw a figure at the door, stopped abruptly, then stood there, and called out in a low voice: "Miss Xiaohuan."
The big man turned his head and saw Xiaohuan standing at the door. He hurried over and asked, "Xiaohuan, why are you here? Is there something wrong with Miss?"
"No." Xiaohuan smiled, handed over the food box in her hand, and said, "My uncle asked me to bring it here."
"What is this?"
The big man lifted the lid of the food box with some doubts, and suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted out.
The bear boy at the side smelled this smell, sniffed suddenly, a trace of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his stomach growled again.
After the big man was stunned for a moment, he immediately said: "No, no, Xiaohuan, take these back quickly..."
Food is always the most important thing for people living at the bottom of society, because only by surviving can they be qualified to talk about other things.
The food that the big man usually eats is just a few grains of rice mixed with bran and a little wild vegetables, and he can survive the whole winter, but in this food box, there are vegetables and meat, and the smell alone can make him drool. This is already an extremely precious thing for a big man.
Xiaohuan didn't go to pick up the food box, and said with a smile: "Uncle Fang, you can take it, we can't finish eating anyway, my uncle is still waiting for me to go home to eat, see you, Uncle Fang!"
"Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan..."
The big man yelled a few times, seeing Xiaohuan's figure drifting away, he could only smile helplessly, when he turned his head, he saw his own child standing there, staring straight at the food in his hand. Box, swallowing saliva non-stop.
"Gudong." As if he couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food anymore, the big man couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
The brat next to him wanted to laugh but didn't dare, his face turned red from holding back.
"You son of a bitch..." The big man kicked the bear's ass lightly, cursed, handed the food box to the woman behind him, and said, "Don't eat it all at once, save some, and eat it tomorrow." eat."
Just when the family of the big man surnamed Fang was gathered around the table, facing the delicious food they had never eaten, and were about to swallow their tongues, Li Yi was also sitting at the table, and two eyes looked at him suspiciously.
"What important day is today?" After a long time, Liu Ruyi asked first.
"No." Li Yi shook his head and said.
"It's not an important day, why are the meals so rich?" Liu Ruyi's eyes became more puzzled.
"Because... capricious?"
Li Yi really didn't know how to answer this question. Isn't it just two extra dishes, and I have to say a reason myself, can't I reward myself with a good meal for the bear boy who is tired from class
This reason seems to be really not convincing, because he hasn't taught the bear boy for several days.
He sighed in his heart, it seems that the living standard of the family must be improved quickly, and he really can't bear the days when he can only eat a piece of meat during the holidays!
I picked up a piece of brocade chicken, and after tasting it, I couldn't help but nodded, feeling extremely satisfied.
It is worthy of being a second-class protected animal in the country, and the taste is simply not comparable to those hens raised by Wu's family.
Liu Ruyi glanced at him and did not speak. After all, the food she eats every day is completely different from before. Compared to her, she doesn't care so much about the source of these foods.
As for the loss of a few chickens in Wu's family, it has nothing to do with her.
The two dishes in front of her had never been eaten before, and they smelled good... Soon, Liu Ruyi's attention was shifted elsewhere.
"By the way, there is almost no food at home." After eating, Xiaohuan took care of the mess as usual, and when Liu Ruyi walked out, Li Yi said something smoothly.
The footsteps at the door paused, and soon a voice came: "Ruyi will go down the mountain tomorrow, and I will let her buy some food."
"Going down the mountain?"
Li Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The location of Green Willow Mountain belongs to Jingguo Qing'an Mansion. After going down the mountain, walk along the official road for about an hour, and you will find the mansion city.
Li Yi has been on this mountain for a long time. Although there are hundreds of copper coins in his wallet, he can't spend them on the mountain. He has long wanted to see the bustling world below the mountain and experience the luxurious life in ancient times. , what is it like...
