Chapter 225 225 Cabbage and Potato Stew

Chapter 225 225. Braised cabbage and potatoes

"Sister, is Xiaobaicai ready?"

"No, longer."

"Sister, is Xiaobaicai ready?"

"No, longer."

"Sister, why isn't the cabbage ready yet?"

"Because Qiaoqiao asked three times today."

Song Tan felt tired.

"Mom! Look at you! Why did you tell him in advance?"

Now Qiao Qiao is simply looking forward to the stars and the moon waiting to go to the amusement park. She really can't resist it.

Wulan was carrying a basket full of tea leaves, and she felt guilty at the moment as if she didn't hear it: "Oh, this tea! It's so good!"

The seventh cousin had a trick up his sleeve: "Come on, come on, Qiao Qiao, I'm learning knowledge during this time, and I can't lose my cooking skills!"

"Not lost, not lost!"

Qiao Qiao became anxious.

He now values ​​his academic achievements in all aspects, fearing that if anything is not in place, it will affect his plan to go to the amusement park.

"I study hard every day."

The seventh cousin nodded: "Okay, I'll leave a dish for you to cook for lunch. If it's delicious, it will prove that you are not lying."

As soon as he said this, Wu Lan was stunned.

"His cousin, Qiaoqiao can cook now?"

The seventh cousin said nonchalantly: "How strange are you to say this? When you were a child, when you were cooking, did you practice knife skills first and then start cooking on the stove? Didn't you just step on the stool and start trying it?"

"He doesn't practice it, and it's the same even after reading it a hundred times. We don't seriously follow the process to verify it."

This also makes sense.

Rural children, if they have a high stove, they dare to step on the stool to cook on the stove. For people of Ulan's time, this was normal.

That is to say, life is better now, the pressure is not so great, and children do not have to be manipulated like this, which makes everyone look more delicate.

Qiaoqiao was quite confident: "Then what should I do?"

The seventh cousin thought for a while: "Aren't you thinking about cabbage? Go to the field to pull some cabbage and make a cabbage stew with potatoes for lunch."

I still have a bagful of potatoes left from the potatoes I bought two days ago.

"What we made before was just braised taro with bamboo shoot leaves. This time we changed the ingredients and it will definitely taste better than bamboo shoot leaves."

The seventh cousin would never admit that he had been craving for the watery, tender cabbage in that field for a long time. It's a pity that everyone is paying close attention. Usually, they only eat a handful of stir-fried dishes, and each person has no chopsticks.

He also knew that Song Tan had kept it to sell to build a house, so he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

However, Qiaoqiao was a little hesitant: "But those tickets have to be sold for money!"

Good guy, you can’t live without an amusement park, right?

Song Tan quickly said: "That's right, the main thing is to eat it for the family."

She also wants to eat the vegetables she grows herself!

Qiao Qiao then picked up the big basket seriously and said, "Then I'm going to see if the cabbage has grown."

This thing can be eaten as long as it has leaves. What's so good about it? It's because Song Tan wants the cabbage to grow bigger, so he's procrastinating...

However, she originally planned to leave tomorrow. Everyone who would work tomorrow and tonight would be cleared, but she just didn't let Qiao Qiao know.

The cabbage is so densely planted in the ground that its thin roots are embedded in the soil. You can easily pull it out by grabbing the whole cabbage and tugging lightly.

Qiaoqiao's big basket was quickly filled to the brim.

Not to mention, now that he is following his seventh cousin every day, he has a pretty good idea of ​​how much food his family will need to cook a meal. Now I am excited to go back and can’t wait to show off my skills!

——Today, Chef Qiaoqiao!

…

Unfortunately, the chef's first course sounded a little perfunctory.

Cabbage and potatoes stewed together sounds like a standard recipe at a construction site, with a clear soup and a lack of water. But in reality, everyone uses different materials. It's actually quite delicious.

The seventh cousin made the braised potatoes with bamboo shoots and leaves last time. Everyone even ate the soup and rice, and there was nothing left.

Aunt Lianhua came over early to help boil the fire and boil water. Qiao Qiao removed the roots and cleaned the cabbage, which was about 20 centimeters long, and then put it directly into the boiling water and blanched it for a while.

When the leaves turn emerald green, take out the cabbage and soak it quickly in cold water.

When blanching, the potatoes were peeled, and now they started dicing again.

Qiao Qiao's sword skills are not very good, but he is patient, steady and not impatient.

Soon, a pot of potatoes was cut.

Finally, he took out another pot of stewed meat with alternate fat and lean meat, and cut it into dices as well.

Aunt Lianhua was also ready to lend a hand and help him fish out the green cabbage that had been blanched and allowed to cool.

The seventh cousin glanced at her.

She had no choice but to pretend she didn't see it, and sat back to light the fire.

The weather was getting warmer, so she wore a simple shirt, her cheeks were red from the fire, and she was looking at Qiao Qiao as if she were her own child, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Qiaoqiao didn't notice at all.

Generally, novice cooks are often in a hurry, but Qiaoqiao is different. He seems to have a plan in his heart, and he is not in a hurry no matter what.

At this time, he took out the cabbage, squeezed the water a little, and then chopped it into fine pieces.

Then heat the oil in a pan, stir-fry the dried chili peppers and minced garlic, and finally add the minced braised meat.

After the aroma comes out, add diced potatoes and stir-fry. When the potatoes are a little soft and sticky, quickly add more boiling water and sprinkle with salt...

Song Tan watched Qiao Qiao sprinkle the salt in surprise, and then stopped moving. He turned his head and looked at his seventh cousin: "Qiao Qiao is so talented? Doesn't he need to taste the saltiness?"

"What talent or not?" The seventh cousin was still clear-headed: "I guess he saw that I added a spoonful of salt last time, so he added so much this time."

"Just look at the water, the amount I added is almost the same as last time."

"But," he said with a smile in his eyes: "This child is down-to-earth and smart. Now he is learning the amount of cooking I do. After cooking a few more times, he will have a feeling."

That's right!

Qiao Qiao was very focused when cooking, and didn't listen to everyone talking at all.

Now put the chopped cabbage in and stir it a little - browned meat cubes, emerald green cabbage and jade-white cabbage stalks, bright yellow potato cubes, and a few bright red peppers in the middle.

The fragrance of the cabbage became more obvious under the stimulation of meat and peppers.

Uncle Seven suddenly slapped his thigh:

"Oh, it's not time yet, I haven't cooked the rice yet!"

"Don't worry, the food won't get cold in this weather, not to mention that stews cool slowly, and there are three big pots--"

Song Tan then directed: "Qiao Qiao, can you cook?"

Cooking rice is even easier.

Wash the rice and add water to the pot--while adding water, Qiao Qiao also asked: "Sister, do you want rice soup today? If not, I'll add less water."

"Yes, grandpa and grandma love to drink this."

"Okay!"

Qiao Qiao added another bucket of water. The earth stove was strong, and even though the iron pot was large, it was bubbling again in a short time.

Lifting the lid of the pot to look at the rice grains, the white center in the middle was almost gone.

He quickly picked up the ladle and scooped up all the excess rice soup, then smiled sweetly at Aunt Lianhua:

"Aunt, just leave a little fire to simmer."

Here it comes, there will be more later (wait for me to brush my teeth and wake up), I'm really in a bad state recently, I'm considering picking up my fitness plan.

Also, the client doesn't display comments, so lonely.
