Chapter 1297 Pockmarked Face
Cao Bamei helped the two of them by washing and chopping vegetables, peeling garlic, dicing ginger and so on.
The women performed their duties and were busy in an orderly manner, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing come in, Sun quickly said: "Leave the quails and quail eggs there, waiting for you to get them."
Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, and started working.
She first picked up half of the quail eggs, poured cold water into the small iron pot, and put the quail eggs in to cook.
Here, five pairs, or ten cleaned quails, are chopped into large pieces one by one.
Put it into a large tea jar. No oil is needed, just put a few rough slices of ginger in it.
Seal the lid of the jar, and finally stuff it into the stove. Use the high temperature of the stove fire to cook the quail, so that the nutrients can be best preserved.
By the time she finished all this, the quail eggs in the pot were almost cooked.
She quickly took out the eggs and soaked them in cold water.
"Eight sisters, come here and help me peel the eggshells." Yang Ruoqing greeted.
Cao Bamei came over happily, and the two of them started peeling her off.
Looking at the large and small yellow-brown spots on the shell of the quail eggs, Cao Bamei couldn't help but ask: "Qing'er, are the eggs really edible? I heard people say that you will get pockmarks on your face after eating them."
Yang Ruoqing chuckled.
"I wouldn't listen to other people's nonsense," she said.
"Quail eggs are a good thing. They are nourishing and taste good." She added.
Cao Bamei said: "What will we eat later?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "You can eat this once it's cooked, but I want to make a few tricks."
"What's the trick?" Cao Bamei couldn't help but ask.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled and said, "You'll know later when you look at it."
Put rapeseed oil in the pot, the amount is a little more than usual for cooking.
Yang Ruoqing returned some of the cooked quail eggs to the pot and started frying them.
"Bamei, help me get some clean bamboo sticks, and I want long chopsticks," she said again.
"okay."
When Cao Bamei brought the bamboo skewers over, the fried quail eggs in the pot had been picked up and put aside to filter the oil.
"Wow, this is so beautiful when fried, it's golden and wrinkled." Cao Bamei said.
The Sun ladies on the side also took the time to take a look here. The ladies were looking forward to Yang Ruoqing's new delicacies.
"Aren't these pleats pretty? They look like tiger skin, called tiger skin quail eggs." Yang Ruoqing said.
Leave a little more base oil in the pot, add dried chili peppers, star anise, ginger, tangerine peel, etc.
Stir-fry until the aroma is released, then add the fried quail eggs, add an appropriate amount of water, cover the pot and simmer.
When he figured it was almost done, Yang Ruoqing opened the lid of the pot.
A strange fragrance overflowed, and it suddenly overwhelmed the original fragrance in the kitchen.
"Wow, these little bird eggs smell so good!"
Mrs. Liu sniffed, having already discarded the fire stick, and stood up from the door of the stove, looking towards the pot to take a look.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing put away the soup, the quail eggs that became more and more plump and attractive were put on bamboo sticks one by one.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help it anymore, "Qing'er, give me a try and see what it tastes like!"
This time, Yang Ruoqing did not refuse.
He was very good-tempered and gave one to Ms. Liu.
Then Sun's Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei in the kitchen each tasted one.
"How does it taste?" Yang Ruoqing asked everyone.
"It's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious bird eggs in my whole life!"
Ms. Liu had a quail egg wrapped in her mouth and said vaguely.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Fourth Aunt, every time I ask you to taste the food, it's the same line, can't you change it?"
Mrs. Liu chuckled: "No, Qing'er's cooking skills are not to be chosen. My fourth aunt will never get tired of eating every dish she cooks!"
Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes, such flattery!
"Qing'er, can you give Fourth Aunt me another taste?" Ms. Liu begged again.
Everyone knew her old habits were back again.
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "These skewered eggs will be distributed to the children at home later."
"One string for each child, five on each string."
"If you eat too much, your three cousins will have to eat less later. You should think about it."
"Is that so?" Ms. Liu bit her lip with a confused look on her face.
Then, she sat back at the stove door again and picked up the fire stick.
"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. I will go up the mountain to get the eggs tomorrow and cook a big pot to eat until I'm full." Mrs. Liu said.
Everyone in the kitchen laughed.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Mrs. Liu. Although the woman's character was not that good, she was not bad to her children.
"Mom, I'll fry the remaining quail eggs with the fungi later. I'll go and distribute the egg skewers to the children first."
Yang Ruoqing immediately left the kitchen and distributed the things to the children.
Kang Xiaozi is only six months old and cannot eat, as do other children, including Mianmian.
The children were all excited about this novel way of eating.
Yang Ruoqing called Xiao Hua Xiaoduo to her side and told them to be more careful around them.
Although the egg skewers are delicious, the eggs should not be poked by the children with bamboo sticks.
With the concerted efforts of the women, a sumptuous dinner was cooked.
The tables will be set soon, and as usual, men and women will sit at two separate tables.
Yang Huazhong asked Luo Fengtang: "I'm afraid it's time for Madam Zixian to wake up. Tangyaozi, I will accompany you to pick her up for dinner."
Luo Fengtang said: "I'll go back and take a look first."
Soon, Luo Fengtang came back alone.
"Still sleeping, forget it, let's eat first, and I'll bring her another one later," he said.
Yang Huazhong came to the backyard and said this to Mr. Sun.
Both the couple felt this was inappropriate.
Mrs. Sun said: "How can this be done? Mrs. Xian is Tang Yazi's biological mother, our daughter's serious mother-in-law, and our in-laws."
"How can we eat without calling her? I'll go and invite her."
As Sun said this, she took off her apron and was about to leave, but Yang Ruoqing came over and stopped her.
"Father, mother, just listen to Tang Yazi," she said.
So I told him about Tuoba Xian's sprained foot.
"My mother-in-law didn't let me tell you. She didn't want to stir up trouble and stir up trouble."
"After taking the medicine, let her have a good sleep. It won't be too late to take it again when she wakes up at night."
After hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Yang Huazhong and Sun had no choice but to give up.
Yang Huazhong said to Sun: "We'll wait until tomorrow. We have to bring some gifts to visit our in-laws."
Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly: "Of course."
"Father, mother, if you want to come, come in private and don't tell others." Yang Ruoqing warned.
Yang Huazhong said: "Don't worry, my dear, my parents are not stupid, they understand."
"Well, let's have dinner then!" she suggested.
So, everyone started to get busy.
In the front hall, all the food was served on the table.
Chapter completed!
