Raising Babies in the 70s

Chapter 21: Crispy rice

Views:

Qin Rou decided to do a big job in the kitchen. Yesterday she steamed it, and today she boiled it. The diet was too healthy. In the evening, she ate a little unhealthy food and added some fried or fried food.

There is not much shortage of oil on Qiongzhou Island. There are many coconuts on the island, which means that there is also a lot of coconut oil. The current coconut oil is cheap oil that is cheaper than soybean oil and rapeseed oil.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, coconut oil always sounds very lofty. In fact, in the 1970s and 1980s, for a long time, coconut oil was a cheap oil that was eaten by poor families.

Just like the papaya at the moment, before it was hyped by the merchants, it was often used to feed pigs in the countryside. At this time, the bananas in Qiongzhou Island were also used to feed pigs. What to feed and what to eat.

The coarse grains that were forced to eat at this time were later sold more expensive than refined grains, which can be described as a change of the times.

At this time, the oil on the second senior brother's body is the most precious, and after waiting for a few decades, they all dislike the poor oil on the second senior brother's body.

Qin Rou also heard a few aunts recall the past, saying that the family was so poor that they could only eat coconut oil. Later, when they smelled coconut, they felt sick and resolutely refused to eat anything related to coconut. Drinking coconut juice made her sigh with emotion.

Coconuts are indeed a good thing. Coconut juice is sweet, and the coconut meat in it can be used to extract oil. However, when traveling to the seaside, most people bought coconuts, but they just drank some coconut juice. Throw the coconut meat directly, let alone Few people think that coconut only has coconut juice, ignoring the layer of pulp inside it.

This layer of pulp can also extract oil, and the coconut oil extracted is very fragrant, but coconut oil is really not suitable for consumption, because the oil itself has a strong coconut smell, and it is indeed easy to accept when mixed with ordinary dishes Incompetent, in addition, when it is fried, the oily smoke is too large, and it produces a lot of bubbles, which is not suitable for cooking.

However, the smell of coconut oil is very fragrant, which is very suitable for making pastry oil and making handmade soap.

Coconut-flavored pastries won't make people feel obtrusive, coconut-flavored handmade soap is also very pleasant, and coconut oil can also be used for hair care.

There is a bottle of coconut oil in the kitchen, which was sent by the family home. It is estimated that every family always has a bottle of this oil. It is not an expensive thing. You can refine the coconut meat by yourself, and you can also refine it.

Qin Rou opened it and smelled it, and felt that using it to cook vegetables would be easy to Waterloo if she was not careful, so she will ask the local folks in Qiongzhou Island about their experience before cooking.

She bought some soybean oil in Guangcheng. Lu Yan cooks... No, he almost uses no oil for steaming, so she can be a little more presumptuous when cooking.

Of course, Qin Rou didn't dare to be too presumptuous, oil is expensive, so be frugal! !

-Make bricks without straw.

Except for seafood, there are eggs, sausages, seaweed, and not even a scallion. Qin Rou is really bald with the current simple materials.

Let's make some simple dishes, fortunately there are seafood.

I don't eat steamed food today.

Qin Rou plans to make scallops with minced garlic vermicelli. Mung bean vermicelli was bought in Guangcheng, and the quantity is really small, so I have to save some to eat, and then I will make seaweed shrimp soup and oyster roast.

It took a lot of work for her to do it by herself, so Qin Rou went upstairs to catch the strong man, dragged Lu Yan back who had been kicked out by her, and asked him to open oysters, while she took the two little guys to peel the shrimp and remove the shrimp line.

These two children are naturally the shrimp peeling atmosphere group.

Qin Rou has practiced the technique of deveining the shrimp. She doesn't like to keep the shrimp head when she eats shrimp at home. It's because she is too lazy to pick the shrimp devein. Instead, she likes to pinch the shrimp when removing the head. When the head is removed, take the shrimp line out by the way.

Soon she peeled a large bowl of shrimps, washed them all, chopped them into pureed shrimp meat, added egg white cooking wine and salt and stirred them, and finally added starch. After stirring evenly, the shrimp slippery was almost ready.

Knead shrimp paste into small balls, and when making seaweed shrimp paste soup, break in the remaining egg yolk, and the seaweed shrimp paste soup made is extraordinarily beautiful.

Yuzawa is bright, the floating seaweed is purple-green, and the egg yolk wrapped around it is bright yellow. Between the seaweed and the egg yolk, there are beautiful shrimp balls with pink in the white.

What Qin Rou rubbed was big balls. After cooking the soup first, she took a small bowl and scooped a prawn slippery ball into the bowl for the two cubs.

She tasted one herself, and even fed one to Lu Yan.

At this moment, Lu Yan peeled a bowl of oyster meat and a bowl of scallop meat. Qin Rou took them away, and quickly made garlic scallop vermicelli and a pot of oyster roast. Only the oyster roast was fried, which was delicious and crispy. Crispy, the two children ate very deliciously. There is no oil in the shrimp soup. Eat a piece of oyster and drink the soup. It is sweet and greasy.

Qin Rou originally thought that the cubs would like to eat oysters, but Lu Yan liked it more. She was very supportive when she was with the children, and she ate non-stop without making a sound.

Because she is used to eating alone, Qin Rou eats while cooking.

She is frying oysters here, and the two boys and the man are waiting to eat, the table is saved, it is a bit unruly, but at home, you can eat whatever you want.

The child was still young, so he ate two shrimp balls and some oysters, and went outside to play happily.

The main food eater in the family is Lu Yan. Thinking of how much this guy ate so many steamed buns yesterday, Qin Rou didn't know how much he would have to do to satisfy him.

In the end, Qin Rou made two simple claypot rice, that is, casserole rice. The rice cooked in the casserole is very fragrant, and it is still cooked with lychee firewood. Because the ingredients are simple, there are not many other things added except rice, and the rice is white. There are only three or four slices of roasted meat on the rice grains, decorated with two plump shrimp balls, piled with scallop vermicelli, and a few strands of seaweed egg yolk.

Even though the materials are simple, we must try our best to present them beautifully! ! !

Qin Rou picked up a plate of sauce and poured a small circle on the two claypot rice, asked Lu Yan to take out the claypot rice, and went to call the two cubs to eat.

Two pots of hot claypot rice, each with a bowl of seaweed and shrimp soup, and a plate of roasted oysters are part of the meal.

Simple yet hearty dinner, at least two pots of claypot rice looks very attractive, beautifully presented, Lu Yan eats a big pot alone, Qin Rou and two children eat one pot.

Qin Rou said with a smile: "Try it, when I was buying a casserole, an aunt taught me how to cook."

In Guangcheng, she pretended to take the man and child to Xinhua Bookstore to buy two cookbooks.

Faced with this big pot of claypot rice, Lu Yan was at a loss for what to do. The daughter-in-law is really a pretty girl. The dishes made here, not to mention the taste, are very beautiful just by their appearance.

He, a rough old man, has never eaten such a beautiful one. The bottom is snow-white rice, and the top is covered with shrimp balls, sausages, and scallop vermicelli.

Qin Rou went to share the rice with herself and the children. Each of them had a big meatball. She smelled it carefully. The aroma of the minced garlic vermicelli was too overbearing. A lot of soup seeped into the rice. She divided small bowls for the two children. For rice, the last highlight is the rice crust at the bottom.

Qin Rou loves crispy rice very much, and she is also very good at cooking claypot rice crispy rice.

A person can't eat delicious food alone, and a good rice cake must be shared with the children. Qin Rou reluctantly divided the rice cake into three parts and shared it with the two cubs. Qin Rou knocked off his hand after eating the rice crust of his little nephew.

"You are such a big pot."

"Delicious!!!" The little fat pier was very happy eating the shrimp balls, no kid could refuse the charm of the balls.

"Auntie, I want some soup." Chen Jingyi sipped the soup, and he also ate very happily. Chen Jingyi likes to eat rice and vermicelli. The fragrant and soft casserole rice cooked by Qin Rou is very suitable for his taste. He eats a lot tonight Quite a lot.

Lu Yan felt relieved after eating oyster roast, his wife didn't cook mapo tofu and spicy shrimp for him...

What a treasure, his daughter-in-law cooks deliciously! The only regret is that it would be even better if there are steamed buns.

Qin Rou drank seaweed soup. Although the food for the past two days tasted pretty good, it's a pity that there are no green vegetable leaves, and it takes a few days before she can fry bean sprouts.

The whole family ate dinner warmly. After the meal, they watched the stars on the balcony on the second floor with the wind blowing. The sky of Qiongzhou Island was exceptionally clean and clear. Lu Yan pulled the wire over and hung a small light bulb for lighting.

Xia Mingxi's little mouth is always chattering non-stop. With Chen Jingyi, a kid of the same age, beside him, he doesn't talk to adults, but wants Chen Jingyi to talk with him to gain his attention.

"Jing Yi, look at this painting!"

Chen Jingyi: "?"

Qin Ruan and Lu Yan sat on the bench, holding a coconut in her arms, she lowered her head to take a sip of coconut juice from time to time, and threw it to Lu Yan if she didn't want to drink it.

Qin Rou observed the coconut trees beside their house, then looked at the yard, and suggested that they build a flower shed, a small gazebo, and a small swing in the yard in the future.

Lu Yan looked at her with a smile: "Wait for my carpentry to get better?"

Qin Rou supported her chin with her hand: "then wait a little longer."

Lu Yan's family had a good meal, but the Zhang family next door suffered.

Last night I had a great meal, but I couldn’t resist eating like this every day. The landlord’s family didn’t have any food left. I had a good meal last night.

Whose family's life is not always so rough and simple, and it is also like this on weekdays, and I don't know what happened to the Lu family next door.

A strange fragrance drilled into their room.

Especially when the aroma of the rice with the smell of firewood comes, it is even more fried, and the sliced roast meat is steamed on the rice, and the aroma wafts far away.

The Zhang family couple who were drinking gruel swallowed their saliva.

They went down for a walk, and they were sure that it was from the Lu family next door. The army official didn't know what kind of food they were cooking. Why was it so fragrant? There was still a scent of lychee in the air, and the smell of the firewood rice was even better. …

"What is the neighbor cooking?"

"It's been cooking for a long time."

"It's all spread to our house."

Zhang Chengbei tentatively asked, "Should we knock on the door and ask what little Lu's family is doing?"

Huang Xinying's face was not very good: "I want to go to you, I won't come."

Zhang Chengbei was just talking, he would not go if he was asked to go.

Things like this never happened to their family before. It was others who knocked on the door of their house, not their family knocking on the door of other people's house.

It seems that the Lu family couple are quite good at cooking. It wasn't obvious yesterday, but the taste of the food has changed today.

Zhang Chengbei swallowed, and couldn't drink the porridge in his mouth.

This burst of fragrance is really craving, what kind of food did they cook this night

That little daughter-in-law of the Lu family is pretty, and she seems to be good at cooking? ! ! This young couple is not like any young couple they have met before.

Huang Xinying felt a sense of crisis.

—Is there a better wife than her
