She took off the bamboo basket from the bullock cart, grabbed a handful of dried fish and walked into the kitchen.
Yuan Hao thought that his sister was going to make the braised dried fish that she had made a few days ago. Thinking of the deliciousness, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
I picked two large eggplants from the vegetable basket in the kitchen, cut the eggplants into finger-long strips, fried them until soft and set aside. Remove the heads and tails of the dried fish, cut them into small pieces, and cut into minced meat and garlic slices.
Xu Changqing is really curious, what kind of high-end food can be made with such simple and ordinary ingredients
Heat oil in a pan, add garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant, then add minced meat and stir-fry, finally add diced fish and stir-fry until fragrant.
At this time, the salty and fresh aroma of the diced fish has been completely fried, and the whole kitchen is filled with a very attractive aroma. Now add the fried eggplant, stir-fry evenly, and then add the prepared sauce. , cover the pot and simmer.
While the pot was simmering over low heat, Yuan Qiu rummaged around in the kitchen for a long time and finally found a porcelain pot with pink branches painted on a white background. It was very small and cute, and very new. It was obviously not used much.
Put the salted fish and eggplant with an attractive fragrance into the porcelain pot, and continue to heat it on the fire. When the soup in the porcelain pot bubbles, take off the fire.
"The porcelain pot can continuously release heat for a certain period of time, and the dishes in the pot can have a good heat preservation effect, which is especially good for eating in winter." Yuan Qiu placed the bubbling eggplant pot on the small square table behind Xu Changqing went up and took out a pair of chopsticks and plates for him to taste.
Smelling this smell, Xu Changqing had swallowed his saliva countless times. Seeing that he could finally taste it, he immediately took the dish and chopsticks and put a chopstick on the dish regardless of the image.
The eggplant is fresh and glutinous, with a lingering fragrance in the mouth. It is fresh but not salty, but it can arouse people's appetite, especially the fish cubes mixed in the eggplant pieces. The taste is very strange. It is obviously a cheap dish, but it is a high-end dish. the taste of.
"How about it?"
Yuan Qiu didn't say anything, but Uncle Zhang was anxious. He wanted to know if his dried fish would be noticed by Boss Xu.
Boss Xu ignored Uncle Zhang, picked up another chopstick of salted fish and eggplant and threw it into his mouth. After closing his eyes and swallowing it slowly, he finally gave a thumbs up: "I can't just enjoy this delicious food, Jufulou All guests should try it."
When Boss Xu said this, it meant that he approved of this dish and Uncle Zhang's dried fish. Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said: "In that case, I will give this dish an elegant name, um - just call it It swims like a fish in the purple moon.”
Boss Xu clapped his hands when he heard it and praised the name as it was extremely elegant and would definitely win the favor of all the guests.
After deciding on the name, it was time to price the dried fish. Boss Xu asked the steward in charge of purchasing dry goods in the back kitchen about the price of dried fish in the market, which was about ten cents per catty.
Boss Xu offered Uncle Zhang twenty cents per catty and asked him to deliver the goods on a long-term basis.
Uncle Zhang was very happy, but he was also a clumsy person. Apart from thanking him repeatedly, he could not say a single word in excitement. He was an honest mountain man. Apart from farming, the only way he could make money was by fishing. Farming The land is only enough for the family to eat, and the money earned from fishing is used to supplement the family's income. It is used to make clothes for the wife and children during the holidays and to buy meat to eat. It is all about this extra income.
In the past, his requirements were not high. He just wanted to have enough food for his family. But with the birth and growth of Xiaopang, he also had higher pursuits. He hoped that Xiaopang could be like Liu Wenxuan, and go to school to read and read. If you go home as a scholar, others will look up to you, and you won't have to worry about finding a good wife in the future.
