Chapter 784 Popular Dark Cuisine (4 in 1)
"I forgot too..."
It was with great difficulty that Han Cheng made the bewildered child bride-in-law understand what he was asking, and looked at Bai Xuemei expectantly.
Then, under Han Cheng's extremely expectant gaze, Bai Xuemei was stunned for a while, and then said this weakly.
Hearing these words, and looking at Bai Xuemei's dazed and innocent expression, Han Cheng suddenly had the urge to stand unsteadily and want to fall and sigh.
"It's written on the paper in the house!"
After a while, Bai Xuemei said excitedly when she remembered something.
When she said this, Han Cheng suddenly remembered that he had seen Bai Xuemei draw something on a notebook in the room before, but he didn't expect that the record was actually his aunt's time.
After Bai Xuemei said this, she ran towards the house, wanting to bring the book to Brother Cheng as soon as possible.
Before Han Cheng could make a sound, Bai Xuemei had already run into the house.
Han Cheng, who opened his mouth halfway, looked at this scene and couldn't help the black lines all over his head.
I know that you are in good health and that you are a primitive person, but no matter how good your body is, you can't go too far, right?
"Brother Cheng, here it is!"
While in a daze, Bai Xuemei ran out at the same speed, holding a stack of papers connected with needles and threads, and presented them to Han Cheng like offering treasures.
Han Cheng sniffed, resisting the urge to tap this guy's head twice, reached out to take the crude book, opened it, and carefully read the things recorded on it.
February twenty.
It is now April 15th, and it has been almost two months since the last time I came here!
Han Cheng counted the time, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he closed the notebook with excitement, put his arms around Bai Xuemei, and said excitedly in her ear: "We are going to have a baby again! I'm having a second child!"
Bai Xuemei, who was confused by Han Cheng's abnormal behavior today, was completely dumbfounded again when she heard the news from Han Cheng.
After doing this for a while, Fang Cai put his hands on Ping Ping's stomach with surprise and uncertainty on his face, and asked, "Really?"
"real!"
Han Cheng nodded vigorously.
After saying this, Han Cheng couldn't help laughing.
Second child, I am going to have a second child now, why doesn't this make people feel happy? !
"In the future, you must walk more steadily, and you can't run like this now!"
After rejoicing, Han Cheng warned Bai Xuemei aloud, and Bai Xuemei nodded vigorously.
"Don't feed the silkworms, let them feed them."
Han Cheng continued.
Just as Bai Xuemei wanted to nod, she reacted immediately, and shook her head again, like a small rattle.
"Brother Cheng, the silkworm is about to spin..."
Bai Xuemei hugged Han Cheng's arm and said aloud, her face was full of pleading.
Han Cheng understood Bai Xuemei's meaning. The silkworm had shed its skin three times, and it was almost time to spin silk. This time of year was the most critical time.
But it was precisely because of this that Han Cheng didn't want Bai Xuemei to get involved with the silkworm.
Because this time is not only the most critical moment, but also the busiest moment.
At this time, the amount of cannibalization is astonishingly large, and people need to keep feeding mulberry leaves and cleaning silkworm excrement, even at night.
"Then you can't do much, just watch and tell them, don't get up at night."
After Han Cheng thought about it, he relaxed the conditions.
After getting pregnant, you really need to pay attention, but you can't be too delicate.
If you are too delicate, it will have the opposite effect.
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Bai Xuemei suddenly became happy...
After learning that Bai Xuemei was pregnant again, Han Cheng, who was in a particularly happy mood, walked towards the small river with a fish cage, Fu Jiang and Xiao Wandou.
He wants to catch some fish and make some delicious supplements for Bai Xuemei.
Put some baits like grasshoppers into the fish cages, and Han Cheng separated several fish cages into the water,
After tying the rope to the sticks on the shore, after squatting here for a while, he got up and left.
It's impossible not to leave. With Little Peas, Tuantuan, and Fujiang around, the fish in the water don't dare to come to the fish cage.
After leaving the river bank, Han Cheng led the large and small teams walking back while thinking about what to eat.
It seems that it is a little rare to get only one pickled fish at night, and Han Cheng still wants to think about another one.
After walking forward like this for a while, I turned my head and saw a few apricot trees not far away.
Many green apricots the size of pigeon eggs are hidden among the apricot leaves.
Seeing these green apricots, and recalling how Bai Xuemei gnawed on the green apricots not long ago, Han Cheng couldn't help but salivate again.
No wonder the wife Cao would use such things as wishing for plums to quench her thirst to fool people. This trick is really effective.
Han Cheng complained about Duke Cao like this in his heart, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a dish emerged.
Green apricot bamboo shoot meat slice soup?
This is a dark dish, but thinking of how Bai Xuemei likes to eat green apricots today, Han Cheng decided to make this kind of soup.
After all, compared with the dark dishes such as stir-fried mooncakes with tomatoes and stir-fried grapes in some universities in the later generations, my soup with green apricot bamboo shoots and sliced meat is much more serious.
I just used green apricots as vinegar, and the chefs who cook those dark dishes in the universities of later generations are the real excellence. Unexpected things can be fried together...
As soon as he said it, Han Cheng stretched out his hand to grab the branch of an apricot tree and began to pick the green apricots on it.
These apricot trees and some other fruit trees were planted slowly after the tribe built them. The trees have not fully grown up yet, so if you want to pick the fruits on them, you don’t need to climb the trees and stand on tiptoes. Just pull some twigs down.
"Dad, Dad, eat, eat..."
Little Pea has inherited the excellent genes of Han Cheng and Bai Xuemei who were eating it. Seeing Han Cheng picking green apricots there, she stood on tiptoe, raised her head and stretched out her hands, drooling for apricots to eat.
"It's not tasty, it's too sour."
Han Cheng said to Pea, and picked up a green apricot and put it to his mouth, pretending to take a bite, while chewing, pretending to be grinning with sourness.
Little Pea was taken aback by Dad's exaggerated acting skills. After a while, the little guy muttered his mouth twice, then continued to open his mouth and stretch out his hand: "Dad, I want to eat, I want to eat."
With a look of wanting to make trouble.
Han Cheng looked at the green apricot in his hand, and then at the greedy little pea who was drooling and wanted to make trouble because he couldn't eat the green apricot. After thinking for a while, he reached out and put a green apricot on his clothes. Wiped it, then handed it to Little Pea.
This is what you want to eat yourself, you can't blame your father for cheating you.
Seeing the little pea stretching out his little hand and taking the green apricot little pea from his hand with an excited expression on his face, Han Cheng murmured in his heart, then narrowed his eyes, he couldn't bear to see what was going to happen next.
The little pea that got the green apricot beamed with joy, and couldn't wait to send it to her mouth.
After bringing it to his mouth, he took a bite without any hesitation.
Han Cheng, who squinted his eyes, could see clearly. After biting the green apricot, Xiao Wandou was stunned for a moment, as if he had stopped.
A moment later, the dazed little pea's eyes suddenly widened and then closed tightly, and after a shiver shivered violently, she stomped her feet on the spot with sourness.
At the same time as stomping his feet, his two hands kept shaking, and the whole person was in the dancing mode in an instant.
Han Cheng, who knew the taste of the original green apricot, shivered when he saw Little Peas.
After bouncing on the spot for a while, Little Pea finally calmed down.
Looking down at the green apricot that had been bitten off in his hand, and then at the unscrupulous old man squatting beside him and swallowing his saliva, Xiao Wandou's eyes were full of tears.
This is not aggrieved, but bitterly soured by the full father's love.
Just when Han Cheng thought that this little guy would throw away the green apricot that made him so sour and turn on the troublesome mode along the way, Little Pea was surprisingly calm.
I saw this guy blinking his teary eyes, and after standing still for a while, he suddenly handed the green apricot that he gnawed off to the coveted panda Tuantuan standing aside.
Tuantuan is even more of a foodie, otherwise, with such strength, he would not have accepted the ravages of Xiao Wandou and others because of some food, rather than leave the Qingque tribe and return to the embrace of nature.
Tuantuan usually eats something from Xiaowandou's hands, so at this time, just as Xiaowandou put his hand in front of its face, this guy can't wait to open his mouth and eat this green apricot.
Then……
Then this guy's reaction was similar to that of Little Peas. After eating with his mouth babbled for a while, he suddenly froze on the spot as if he had been immobilized.
For a moment, as he grew older, Tuantuan, who stopped screaming easily, suddenly howled, then turned around and ran away.
After running not far, he lay down on the ground, rolled around on the ground, and at the same time used his two front paws to dig into his mouth.
At the side, Fu Jiang, who was still sticking his head out and wanting to get a share of the pie, saw the hair on his body stand up when he saw Tuantuan's appearance, and with all four hooves, he sprinted out from here.
It was more than ten meters away from here to stop. Standing there, I looked at Little Peas, and then I looked at the balls rolling around on the ground with their mouths covered. I felt that this place was not safe enough, so I ran all the way to the deer with my tail between my legs. lock up.
After arriving at the deer circle, he stretched out his head and looked over there from a distance. This was really frightening to the dog...
Not far away, Han Cheng, who was carrying Qing Xing by the corner of his clothes and witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, opened his mouth a little wide.
Looking at Little Pea standing there grinning, not yet fully recovered from the soreness, and looking at the two front paws holding his mouth, rolling around on the ground like a ball, Han Cheng felt I feel a little dizzy.
This kid who is still wearing crotch pants, is making trouble like this now, how will he be able to do it when he grows up?
He didn't realize at all that this was Han Cheng, whose upper beam was not upright and his lower beam was crooked. Looking at his son, he felt so emotional...
Returning to the tribe with green apricots in his bag, Han Cheng went to dig bamboo shoots with a small basket and a handful of bronze picks.
Fishing in cages is no longer as efficient as it used to be, and it will take a little longer.
This time is just right to dig some bamboo shoots out.
After being fed by Little Pea and eating a green apricot, Tuan Tuan, who was so sour and rolled all over the ground, became angry, and no longer went to join Little Pea when he had nothing to do, but lay down on a rock from a distance, Limbs sprawled out, as if he had lost all his dreams.
However, when he saw Xiaowandou taking the bamboo shoots that Han Cheng had dug out from a distance, Tuantuan, who had lost his dream, immediately became more energetic again.
It twisted its chubby buttocks and headed all the way to where Han Cheng and Little Pea were.
After walking to the side, staring at the eyes with serious dark circles, he looked at Xiaowandou eagerly. After seeing Xiaowandou handing it the bamboo shoot in his hand, the guy immediately hugged him, squatted on the ground, and started Chewing it up, it was very sweet.
By the time Han Cheng carried the planed bamboo shoots and walked towards the tribe with Little Pea, he had already gnawed two lumps of bamboo shoots, and had already forgotten about Little Pea feeding it green apricots.
After returning to the tribe, he peeled the bamboo shoots one by one and sliced them with a copper knife. After that, Han Cheng put them in a clay pot, soaked them in water, and then went to the river to collect the fish cages...
Han Cheng untied the rope tied to the rocks on the shore, and then began to pull the rope toward the shore with his hands.
As the fish cage got closer and closer to the shore, a sense of tremor was transmitted along with the rope, which was the jumping of the fish in the fish cage.
This is the most exciting time.
Han Cheng carefully pulled the rope, pulled the fish cage to the shore, and then lifted it hard, and the fish cage came out of the water.
With the water in the fish cage, it rushes into the river, and through the gaps in the fish cage, you can see the fish inside are jumping around.
"Fish! Fish!"
Little Pea on the side pointed at the lively fish and clapped her hands happily.
Although there were not as many fish in the small river as before, after seven or eight fish cages went down one after another, there was still a lot of harvest.
The big fish were kept, and the small fish and the fish that looked like they had roe in their stomachs were put into the basin and thrown into the fish pond beside the tribe where there was already a lot of water.
After finishing all this, Han Cheng took the fish cages and fish in a string, led Little Peas and the panda Tuantuan coaxed by the two bamboo shoots back to the tribe.
After returning, he took a copper knife and skillfully removed the scales, viscera and gills of the fish.
Then it was time for Han Cheng to show off his knife skills.
The fish selected to make pickled cabbage fish is a fish with a black line on each side of its body. Han Cheng named it Hei Tiao.
It looks very different from the snakehead fish of later generations, but the meat quality is even better than the snakehead fish.
After all, in the later generations, most of the fish eaten were raised in fish ponds. Occasionally, I went to Jiangchazi to catch some wild ones. They still tasted like oil, which was not as good as those raised in ponds.
After handling the black striped fish, Han Cheng told Xiao Wandou not to move him, and he went outside with a copper knife, squatted in front of the whetstone, and after getting the whetstone wet with water from the clay basin, put his hands on the whetstone. Hold the copper knife on it one after the other, push and pull to start sharpening the knife.
Unlike kitchen knives made of steel, copper knives are very easy to blunt.
Later, he will have to slice the black-striped fish, so he can't do without sharpening the copper knife.
After sharpening for a while, Han Cheng tried the blade lightly with his fingers, and when he felt it was okay, he rinsed the copper knife with clean water, turned and went back to the kitchen.
Sliced fish is definitely a technical job. Although Han Cheng is a foodie, and he is still the kind of foodie who likes to make something to eat when he is free, he is not a serious professional after all. So this piece of fish is still a bit difficult for him.
It is easy to break the fishbone if one is not done well, but it can still be taken out after all.
Although there is one more broken thorn in the fish fillet, the quality is a little different, the thickness is a little uneven, and the size is a little different...but if you remove all these, the fish fillet still looks very good.
Han Cheng had been slicing fish fillets for a long time before he stopped.
On the one hand, it was because Han Cheng's knife skills were not good enough, and on the other hand, it was because there were a lot of fish in the slices, and it was almost a pot of pottery.
There is no way, there are too many foodies in the tribe. Although these sauerkraut fish are mainly made for Bai Xuemei, who is pregnant with her second child, as soon as they are made, there will be a large group of unscrupulous foodies watching eagerly. The scene is really unbearable.
Can you imagine a group of strong old men plus some equally tough women and some children, sneaking a glance at you who is eating from time to time, and then swallowing saliva?
After experiencing such things a few times, Han Cheng has been adhering to the principle of doing as much as he can to improve his life with new tricks.
Although it is still impossible for everyone to eat it, it can still satisfy some people's hunger.
Han Cheng put some salt foam and some fruit wine into the sliced fish and began to marinate them after stirring.
After doing this, I thought about finding three or four eggs, cracked them and separated the egg yolks from the egg whites, poured the egg whites into the fish fillets, stirred them, and marinated them with cooking wine.
Add egg white to the fish fillets, and the fish fillets will become very tender after a while.
After handling the fish fillets, Han Cheng turned around and came to the cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, he felt a burst of shade rushing towards his face. After his eyes adapted to the light, Han Cheng went straight to a corner of the cave.
There are some sealed earthenware pots here. These are the sour cabbage that Han Cheng pickled by himself after harvesting the much larger Chinese cabbage in late autumn last year.
The cabbage that is still in the improvement period is washed and dried, and after being dried out in the sun, it is placed densely in a ceramic jar, one layer of cabbage is sprinkled with a layer of salt, and the top is covered with a piece of four or five Ten kilograms of granite was tightly pressed and sealed tightly. After two or three days, depending on the situation, some water was added to it, and it was soaked slowly. It took about one and a half months to heal.
Of course, this is easy to say, but difficult to do. It was only after Han Cheng marinated for several tanks that he slowly mastered the skill of marinating.
The taste is not as good as the famous old altar sauerkraut, but it is enough to make pickled fish.
Han Cheng fished out six pieces of sour cabbage from the sauerkraut jar, drained the water slightly, sealed the sauerkraut jar, turned around and walked outside.
As soon as I walked out of the cave, I felt some warmth, and some of the cold on my body was dispelled.
When the weather is warm, the temperature in the cave, which is not easily exposed to the sun, is much lower than the outside, and it looks cool, which is just right for storing pickled vegetables such as sauerkraut.
Cut the sauerkraut out into shreds with a copper knife and put it in a clay pot for later use.
After preparing these, Han Cheng went to get some green onions and came back. He had just cut up the chopped green onions and was about to light the fire. The witch ran over from somewhere, his legs and feet were as fast as when he was offering sacrifices to the gods.
Of course he ran fast, because Shenzi hadn't cooked for a long time, and today he was cooking fish and vegetables, and he looked like he was preparing to cook a meal. How could he miss such a good opportunity?
Even when the fire is burning, you can't eat the food in your mouth, but it's very good to smell the tempting smell, and it's also a pleasure to watch Shenzi cook the food.
This is a secret Wu discovered after both Huo Yihuo and Huo Er died.
No wonder the two of them were so excited when they saw Shenzi cooking food before...
Until Wu lit the fire and heated the earthen pot, Han Cheng put some white fatty oil into it, put the pepper beans into the hot oil to saute, and poured the shredded sauerkraut into it and stir-fried, he seemed a little panting. Just come here.
After smelling the rich aroma wafting from the kitchen, and looking at Han Cheng who was turning over the dishes and Wu who was lighting the fire, Yuan finally showed a dazed expression.
No wonder this guy who always pretended to be asleep at night ran so fast today.
Wu, who was squatting there to light the fire, felt Yu Yuan's gaze, and couldn't help being startled, thinking that this time it was the end of the game, and he had already hidden it very well, but when he didn't pay attention, it was all exposed all at once.
Wu, who was originally full of interest, had a bitter look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Han Cheng didn't think it was so funny, but felt a strong empathy.
But Wu should be more pitiful than Han Cheng, because Bai Xuemei is still young, and Yuan is not young anymore.
After all, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, fifty is able to suck dirt while sitting down, Yuan is exactly at such an age.
Thinking of this, Han Cheng immediately became happy, and now Bai Xuemei was pregnant with a second child.
After one night, not only did Bai Xuemei get happiness in October, but even Han Cheng felt very happy.
Han Cheng, who was happy in his heart, felt different in his heart when he went to see Wu again. It was a kind of sympathy with joy.
Clay pots conduct heat slowly, and after the sauerkraut is put in, the temperature quickly drops, and the stir-fry quickly turns into a raw fry.
This made Han Cheng wonder if he would get a set of copper cooking utensils in the future.
After frying the sauerkraut for a while, looking at the color and smelling the sour aroma that filled the kitchen, Han Cheng temporarily put aside the idea of making copper cookware, thinking that it would be more serious to cook the sauerkraut and fish first.
Pour the clear water from the two pots into the small pot, cover the lid and cook for a while, wait until the water boils, pour the marinated fish fillets into it, stir it twice with a wooden spoon, wait until the water boils, and cook for about two more In a matter of minutes, Han Chengcheng asked Wu to put out the fire.
Grab a handful of chopped scallions and throw them in, a more intense sour aroma pervades the kitchen girl.
The white fish fillet, served with dark brown sauerkraut and chopped green onion dotted in it, does not need to be tasted, the appearance alone is mouth-watering.
"Gudong!"
"Gudong!"
Yuan forgot to think about how to find Wu to settle accounts at night, and Wu also forgot about revealing his secrets. At this moment, the two of them looked at the nearly small tank of pickled fish, swallowing wildly.
"Son of God, I'll scoop it into the basin!"
Seeing that Han Cheng was holding a wooden spoon to put the sauerkraut fish into the big earthen basin with rice on the side, Wu swallowed a mouthful and said with a wink.
Han Chengcheng handed the wooden spoon to Wu, and went to handle the meat slices by himself.
Wu scooped rice into the earthen pot spoon by spoon, till the end, when there was only half a spoonful left in the earthenware pot, Wu did not pour it into the earthen pot again, but secretly poured rice into Han who was bowing his head and carefully cutting the meat. Cheng took a look there, then quickly brought the wooden spoon to his mouth, and took a sip quietly. The wonderful taste entered his mouth, and Wu Shushu's eyes narrowed.
Yuan didn't dare to eat food in advance, after all, it's not the time when she was in the original tribe, but after all, she still couldn't resist the temptation of food. Leaned over.
Han Cheng, who lowered his head and sliced meat not far away, glanced this way quietly, and saw two people who were sneaking around for'stealing', and couldn't help but smile on his face.
"God, I'm still burning fire."
Han Cheng came over with the sliced meat, and after taking out the soaked bamboo shoots, Wu Wu wiped the corner of his mouth and said as if nothing had happened. Before Han Cheng could speak, he squatted in front of the stove and began to add firewood to it.
However, Yuan had little experience of such things. Without Wu's thick skin, he couldn't be as indifferent as Wu. When facing Han Cheng, the whole person seemed particularly unnatural and anxious.
She wanted to sneak out of the kitchen, but she couldn't bear the smell inside. After hesitating for a while, she obediently squatted beside Wu, like an obedient daughter-in-law.
When Han Cheng saw the appearance of the two, he thought it was very amusing. In order not to make the atmosphere awkward, he could only hold back his smile and continue to process some food as if he didn't know anything.
Heat the large oil, fry the pepper and green onion, add the sliced meat, stir-fry, then add the bamboo shoots, finally add water, add the green apricot slices, and cook...
"It's delicious!"
The second senior brother in the courtyard couldn't stop sniffing his nose, the rest of the people were similar to him, they were all attracted by the scent.
"It's the Son of God! The Son of God is cooking food today!"
Someone sneaked into the kitchen by drinking boiled and cooled bamboo leaf water in the large water tank outside the kitchen, and then came here, talking to the others excitedly.
After hearing the news, while the rest of the people were stunned, they also became more looking forward to it, abnormally looking forward to the dark...
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots!"
Watching the pot containing green apricot, bamboo shoot and sliced meat soup held up high, opening his mouth and waiting for a long time, he took the last drop of soup that stayed on the edge of the pot and didn't want to drop it into his mouth. The second senior brother who put down the basin, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh again.
What was supposed to be a dark dish became the thinnest and most welcome meal at this time, even Han Cheng felt a little unbelievable.
This is mainly a meal for pregnant women. What's the matter with you guys eating so much?
Looking at the second senior brother and others, Han Dashenzi, who was crazily complaining in his heart, has automatically filtered the situation when he was drinking green apricot and bamboo shoot sliced meat soup just now.
"Brother Cheng, cook this again tomorrow!"
Han Cheng's dark dish is undoubtedly very suitable for the taste of Bai Xuemei, who is holding green apricots and gnawing non-stop. At this moment, she touched her stomach and said to Han Cheng with a face full of hope.
She hadn't been pregnant with her second child for a long time, and her stomach was so flat that she couldn't tell it at all, but now she was forcefully supported by the rice.
Looking at the reactions of Bai Xuemei and the people in the tribe who ate green apricot bamboo shoot meat soup, Han Cheng felt very comfortable.
For a person who cooks, this is the happiest thing besides not having to wash the pots and dishes.
Why don't you try dark cuisine more in the future? How about some new tricks?
Tomato fried mooncakes are not impossible to try.
Thinking of this, Han Cheng shook his head again, this is not such an easy dish, first of all you need tomatoes and moon cakes...
The sky dimmed and night fell, except for those who were still in charge of guarding on the watchtower, the rest of the people had already fallen asleep.
Even if life at night is richer than that of most tribes in this era, before the emergence and popularization of electric lights, which can turn night into day, the tribe as a whole cannot get rid of the lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. of.
"Little pea...son..."
In the room, the lights had been turned off, and the voice of Bai Xuemei calling Little Pea in a low voice sounded.
After the sound fell, the room fell into silence, and there was no response from Little Pea.
"Little pea...son"
After a pause, Bai Xuemei yelled softly again, and after so many times, Bai Xuemei got up and came to Han Cheng's side and said excitedly: "Brother Cheng, Little Pea is asleep..."
"Well, just sleep when you fall asleep."
Han Cheng was startled, and then pretended to be puzzled and said, with a sleepy look.
Bai Xuemei's movements paused for a moment, and then she reminded: "Brother Cheng, Little Pea is asleep..."
A real warrior needs to have the courage to face the wind and rain. After hearing Bai Xuemei's reminder again, Han Cheng no longer pretended to be confused. He turned around, changed from lying on his side to lying on his back, and said solemnly: "Not now, You have another cub in your belly, come on, sleep well..."
Just showing joy, Bai Xuemei, who was about to sit down, suddenly had a bitter face.
Han Cheng in the dark showed a hearty smile.
It is really relaxing to have such a legitimate reason for refusal without being described in bad language!
When God Son Han, who was in a happy mood, fell asleep with a smile on his face, there were people in the Tongshan residential area who were sleepless...
(Four in one, one chapter is supplementary.
In the past two days, I have been out on business, and two chapters were coded with my mobile phone on the train. I always feel a little weird...)
