Raising Babies in the 70s

Chapter 21: , rice

    Qin Rou decided to do a big job in the kitchen, steamed yesterday, boiled in water today, the diet is too healthy, so I eat a little unhealthy at night, and add some fried ones.

    Qiongzhou Island is not short of oil, and there are more coconuts on the island, which means more coconut oil. Now coconut oil is cheaper than soybean oil and rapeseed oil.

    Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, coconut oil always sounds very tall, in fact, in the 1970s and 1980s, for a long time, coconut oil belonged to the cheap oil that the family was too poor to eat .

      , Second Senior Brother, eat what you want to eat.

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

    The oil on the second senior brother is the most precious at this time. After waiting for several decades, they will all dislike the poor oil on the second senior brother.

    Qin Rou also heard several aunts recall the past, saying that the family was poor, so poor they could only eat coconut oil, but later, when she smelled coconut, she felt nauseous, and resolutely did not eat coconut-related Anything, but her daughter loves to drink coconut water, which makes her sigh with emotion.

    Coconut is 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 just drink some coconut water. Throw the coconut meat directly, not to mention that many people think that coconut only has coconut water, ignoring the layer of pulp in it.

      In the dishes, it is indeed easy to accept incompetence. In addition, when frying things, there is too much oil smoke and many bubbles are generated, which is not suitable for cooking.

    However, coconut oil smells very fragrant, and it is very suitable for making pastry oil and making handmade soap.

    Coconut-flavored pastries won’t make you feel obtrusive, coconut-scented handmade soaps are very pleasant, and coconut oil can also be used for hair care.

      Refine oil.

    Qin Rou opened it up and smelled it, and felt that using it for cooking would be easy to waterloo if she was not careful. She would ask the local villagers in Qiongzhou Island for their experience in cooking before cooking.

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

    Of course, Qin Rou doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. Oil is expensive, so be thrifty!

    

    Except for the seafood, which are eggs, sausages, seaweed, and not even scallions, Qin Rou is really bald at the current simple materials.

    Let's make some simple dishes. Fortunately, there is seafood.

    I won’t eat steamed rice today.

    Qin Rou plans to make scallops with garlic vermicelli. The mung bean vermicelli is bought in Guangcheng. The quantity is really small, so I have to eat it sparingly.

      The little guy peels the shrimp and removes the shrimp line.

    These two children are naturally a shrimp peeling atmosphere group.

    Qin Rou's method of de-shrimp deveining is practiced. She does not like to keep shrimp heads when she eats shrimp at home. When you pinch your fingers, you can take out the shrimp line by the way when you remove the shrimp head.

    Soon she peeled off a large bowl of shrimp, washed them all, chopped them into puree, added egg white cooking wine and salt and stirred, and finally added starch, and after stirring evenly, almost put the shrimp Slide is done.

     Knead the shrimp slips into small balls, and when making the seaweed shrimp slippery soup, break up the remaining egg yolks, and the seaweed shrimp slippery soup made is extraordinarily beautiful.

    The soup is bright, the floating seaweed is purple-green, and the tangled egg yolks are bright yellow.

    Qin Rou is rubbing big balls. After cooking the soup first, she takes a small bowl and scoops a big shrimp slippery ball into the bowl for both cubs.

    She tasted one herself and fed one to Lu Yan.

    Lu Yan peeled a bowl of oyster meat and a bowl of scallop meat, Qin Rou took it away, and quickly made scallop vermicelli with garlic and a pot of oyster roast, only oyster roast is Fried in oil, it is fragrant and crunchy. The two children eat very fragrantly. There is no oil in the shrimp slippery soup.

    Qin Rou originally thought that the cubs would prefer to eat oysters, but Lu Yan liked it more, and was very supportive with the children, eating without stopping.

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

    Here she is frying oysters, and the two boys and the man are waiting to eat. The table is spared, it is a bit unruly, but at home, you can eat whatever you want.

    The child is still young, so I ate two shrimp rolls and some oysters, and happily went outside to play.

    The main food eater in the family is Lu Yan. Thinking that this guy ate so many big buns yesterday, Qin Rou didn't know how much he had 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 was very fragrant, and it was still cooked with lychee wood because the ingredients were simple. Add too many other things, just lay three or four pieces of roast meat on the white rice grains, embellished with two chubby shrimp balls, piled with scallop vermicelli, and a few strands of seaweed egg yolk.

    Although the material is simple, try to make it beautiful! !

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

    Two pots of hot claypot rice, with a bowl of seaweed and shrimp slippery soup on each side, and a plate of oysters is part of the meal.

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

    Qin Rou smiled and said, "Try it. When I bought a casserole, an old lady taught me how to cook."

    She also pretended to take the man and child to the Xinhua Bookstore to buy two cookbooks in Guangcheng.

    Faced with this big pot of claypot rice, Lu Yan was at a loss for what to do. My daughter-in-law is really a beautiful girl. The dishes she made, let’s not talk about the taste, just the appearance is very beautiful .

      The index finger is moving.

    Qin Rou went to share meals for herself and her children, each with a big ball, and took a closer look. The aroma of the garlic vermicelli was so domineering, a lot of soup seeped into the rice, giving The two children divided small bowls of rice, and the final highlight was the rice cooker underneath.

    Qin Rou loves rice noodles very much, and also knows how to cook rice in claypot.

    A person can't eat the food alone, and the good Guoba should also be given to the children. Qin Rou reluctantly divides the Guoba into three and divides the two cubs. When Lu Yan sees the Guoba, he is very curious. Wanting to get a piece of the pie, Qin Rou knocked her hand off her little nephew's pot rice.

    "You are so big."

    "Delicious!!" Little Pangdun is very happy eating the shrimp slippery balls, no kid can refuse the charm of the balls.

    "Auntie, I want soup." Chen Jingyi sipped the soup, and he was very happy. Chen Jingyi likes rice and fans, and the soft casserole rice cooked by Qin Rou is especially suitable for him. Taste, he ate a lot tonight.

    Lu Yan felt at ease eating oysters, but his daughter-in-law did not cook Mapo Tofu Spicy Shrimp for him...

    I found a treasure, his wife's cooking is really delicious! The only regret is that it would be better if there were steamed buns.

    Qin Rou drank seaweed soup, although the food for the past two days tasted pretty good, it is a pity that there are no green leaves, so I can fry bean sprouts for a few days.

    The family had a warm and warm dinner. After dinner, they watched the stars while blowing on the terrace on the second floor. The sky in Qiongzhou Island was exceptionally clean and clear. Lu Yan pulled the wire over and hung a Small bulb lighting.

    Xia Mingxi's little mouth is always babbling, with a child of the same age Chen Jingyi beside him, he does not talk to adults, but asks Chen Jingyi to accompany him to talk to gain his attention Spend.

    "Jing Yi, look at this painting!"

    Chen Jingyi: "?"

    …

    Qin Rou and Lu Yan sat on the bench. She held a coconut in her arms. From time to time, she lowered her head and took two sips of coconut juice. If she didn't want to drink it, she threw it to Lu Yan.

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

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

    Qin Rou put her chin on her hand: "then wait."

    Lu Yan's family is happy, but the Zhang family next door is miserable.

    Last night, I had a big meal, but I couldn’t bear to eat like this every day.

    Whose life is not always so rough, and it is like this on weekdays, and the Lu family next door doesn't know what's wrong.

    A strange scent wafted into their house.

    Especially when the aroma of the firewood-smelling rice came, it was fried, and the sliced ​​roasted meat was steamed on the rice, and the aroma drifted far away.

    The Zhang family, who were drinking gruel, swallowed.

    They went down for a walk, and they were sure that it was from the Lu family next door. The army official family didn't know what kind of rice they were cooking, why it was so fragrant, and there was still a lixiang in the air. The firewood rice tastes even better…

    "What's cooking next door?"

    "Boiled for a long time."

    "It all came to our house."

    …

    Zhang Chengbei asked tentatively, "Do you want to knock on the door and ask what the little Lu family is doing?"

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

    Zhang Chengbei is just talking about it, he won't go if he wants to go.

    This kind of thing never happened to their house before, it was someone else knocking on their door, not theirs knocking on someone else's door.

    It seems that the Lu family couple is very good at cooking, but it didn't show up yesterday, but the flavor of the food has changed today.

    Zhang Chengbei swallowed saliva, and the gruel in his mouth could not drink.

    This smell is really greedy, what dishes did they cook this evening?

    The little daughter-in-law of the Lu family is beautiful and seems to be good at cooking? ! This young couple was not like any young couple they had met before.

    Huang Xinying felt a sense of crisis.

    —is there a better wife than her?
