PFC Chapter 200: No Changes in the Rules
Chapter 200: No Changes in the Rules
It’s that time of year again when we make dried fruits.
The weather has been hot recently and the sun is scorching.
In addition to dried fruits, Jian Yue also took out some of the Hericium erinaceus that she had harvested previously, dried them, and sent them back as a holiday gift.
Jian Yue cleaned the yard first.
He moved the drying rack to a sunny spot, then took out a few dustpans and wiped them clean carefully.
Gently take out the Hericium erinaceus and wash it carefully in clean water.
Then, place them neatly in a dustpan, making sure there is enough space for ventilation.
After placing them, move the dustpan to the drying rack.
While drying the Hericium erinaceus, Jian Yue started preparing to make dried mangoes.
She doesn't plan to make dried pineapples this year because it's too much trouble.
Under direct sunlight, the moisture of Hericium erinaceus slowly evaporates.
Jian Yue came over from time to time to turn it over to ensure that it was heated evenly.
In the evening, when the sunlight weakens, bring the dustpan back into the house to avoid moisture.
In the evening, Jiang Zeyuan finished eating and washing the dishes.
He walked slowly into the yard.
I saw Jian Yue busy peeling mangoes.
The corner of his mouth raised, "Wife, let me lend a hand."
Jian Yue pointed to the longan beside her and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Then I'll leave these longans to you."
Jiang Zeyuan responded and was about to take action.
Jian Yue mysteriously took out a small artifact and handed it to him, "Using this can save you a lot of trouble."
Jiang Zeyuan took this little artifact and studied it with great interest.
This little gadget is cleverly constructed; one end is used to remove the core, while the other end can easily peel off the longan shell.
He tried to operate it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This thing is really novel!"
Jian Yue looked at his inexperienced look and couldn't help but laugh, "How is it? Is it useful?"
Jiang Zeyuan nodded repeatedly, his hands moving non-stop, and he kept muttering, "Where did you find such a precious thing?"
"Guess!" Jian Yue smiled faintly while sorting the mangoes.
Jiang Zeyuan got more and more comfortable with it, and soon he had processed a pile of longans. "Wife, with this little magic tool, work has become much more interesting."
Jian Yue raised her head and glanced at him, "That's right, don't you see who picked it?"
Jiang Zeyuan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a wicked smile, "My wife is really good at choosing things."
As he spoke, he quickened his pace and said, "Let's dry these longans later. They will definitely be delicious."
Jian Yue echoed: "Yes, this year's longan is very sweet."
The two of them chatted back and forth while working.
Jiang Zeyuan's movements became more and more skillful, and he would tease Jian Yue with the processed longan from time to time, "Try this, it's very sweet."
Jian Yue opened her mouth and bit off the longan flesh, with a happy smile on her face, "Yeah, it's really sweet."
In this warm atmosphere, time passed by unknowingly and a pile of longans was quickly processed.
Jiang Zeyuan stretched himself lazily, looking at the fruits of his labor with great pride, "Wife, what shall we do next?"
Jian Yue raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was already nine o'clock.
"Put these longans aside for now. I'll dry them tomorrow. You can rest tonight."
Jiang Zeyuan nodded and cleaned up the yard with Jian Yue.
Walk into the house under the moonlight.
After repeating this process for several days, the Hericium erinaceus was finally dried, weighing about two kilograms in total.
The whole yard was filled with the scent of mango and longan.
Jian Yueyi was eating lychees while reading a book, so happy!
"Bang bang bang~Xiaoyue, are you home?" Ye Qingqing's voice came in.
After the door opened, Ye Qingqing held two paper boxes and stuffed them directly into Jian Yue's hands.
"This is a specialty sent by Lin Shuhuan's family. Take it and eat it!"
After saying that, he turned around, waved goodbye and left in a hurry.
Jian Yue pursed her lips and chuckled, without being pretentious.
After taking it in, I opened it immediately.
It turned out to be two black lumps of Sichuan-style smoked meat and a box of pastries.
In this day and age, smoked meat is still quite valuable.
After all, many families only eat meat a few times a year.
Jian Yue picked up a piece of bacon and looked at it carefully.
After putting the bacon and pastries away, he sat back in his chair and continued eating lychees and reading.
At four o'clock, Jian Yue cut off some bacon and prepared to make a dish of fried bacon with peppers.
She first washed the black bacon carefully several times in hot water, trying to wash away some dust and impurities on the surface.
After washing, place the bacon on a chopping board and cut it into thin slices.
Each piece is fat and lean.
Then, Jian Yue picked out a few spiral peppers from the vegetable basket, washed them, removed the seeds, and cut them into small pieces.
Then, pour a little oil into the pan.
When the oil is hot enough to smoke slightly, put the sliced bacon into the pan and stir-fry slowly over low heat.
After a while, the grease in the bacon was forced out and the pan sizzled.
Then, Jian Yue quickly poured the chopped spiral pepper segments into the pot.
With a "sizzling" sound, the spicy taste was instantly stimulated, choking Jian Yue so much that she couldn't help coughing a few times.
Wielding the spatula skillfully, he kept stirring to allow the bacon and pepper to be fully blended.
Then, add appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce and a little white sugar to enhance the flavor, and continue to stir-fry evenly.
After a while, a dish of fragrant pepper fried bacon was ready.
Jian Yue took out a few more potatoes, peeled them, cut them into shreds, and made a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds.
I also cooked a big pot of white porridge.
It’s more comfortable to eat these in this weather.
It's so hot!
As soon as Jiang Zeyuan got home, he walked into the kitchen, smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Wife, this smells so good!"
"Take it out quickly and prepare to eat."
After the meat was served, Jiang Zeyuan picked up a piece of meat curiously and asked, "Is this bacon? It's so black~"
Jian Yue curled her lips and explained with a smile, "This is Sichuan-style smoked meat. Ye Qingqing brought it here today. Try it, it's delicious!"
Jiang Zeyuan put the meat into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh my, this tastes amazing! So fragrant and chewy!"
Jian Yue also picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, "Hmm~ It's really a good thing!"
This kind of smoked meat made from native pork was a good thing even in the previous life!
Even if you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy the authentic one.
The two of them finished the plate of fried bacon and peppers in no time, and of course there was nothing left of the spicy and sour potato shreds.
The dishes are washed according to the same old rules, Jiang Zeyuan washes them.
Jian Yue went to collect all the dried mangoes and dried longans in the yard.
After putting these things into the house, he stood in front of them, hesitated for less than half a second, and put them back into the space.
This is the cleanest and safest way!
After finishing, I clapped my hands and prepared to take a shower.
Thanks to the good weather, these dried mangoes and longans were dried in three days.
Except for those that were eaten as daily snacks, the rest were put away.
Wait a while and then send a holiday gift to Beijing.
This little life went on without any disturbances, and Jian Yue didn't find it too boring.
It seems like - I'm used to it!
