Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 475 Show off your cooking skills

An Yue walked under the eaves and saw that it turned out to be the village chief and Wang Hu.

Under the leadership of An Yue, the village chief also came to the east ear room.

When the village chief saw Magistrate Qi, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me."

County Magistrate Qi helped the village chief to stand up and said, "Village Chief Li, please stand up quickly. I am visiting Baili Village privately today to learn about the planting situation in Baili Village."

The village chief hurriedly said: "Your Excellency cares about the people. Our village has relied on farming in recent years, and the villagers can also have enough food."

Magistrate Qi nodded and said, "This is a good thing. I came here this time to see with my own eyes how the crops grow after the compost is applied to the fields."

"Don't worry, sir. This compost is all thanks to Anyue. She was the first to figure out how to make compost, so that we can have fertilizer to put into the fields."

Magistrate Qi looked at An Yue with admiration in his eyes.

"Well, Miss An Yue is so proficient in crop planting at such a young age, and she also understands the business of doing business. She is really an amazing woman, an amazing woman!"

An Yue said a little embarrassedly: "My Lord and Uncle are too kind. I just want to do something within my ability."

An Yue said to the village chief Li Huairen, "Uncle, I'd like to trouble you to accompany the adults for a while. I have to go to the kitchen to help cook a few dishes."

The village chief nodded and responded, "Okay, girl, go get busy first!"

An Yue said a few words to Magistrate Qi and then walked out of the east ear room.

Then, the village chief raised his hand and said to the county magistrate and his men, "Sir, Madam, please move to the main hall to have tea and chat."

At this time, Qi Jiner, who was standing aside, said, "Mother, I also want to go to the kitchen and learn cooking from Sister An Yue."

"Okay, okay, go ahead!"

With her mother's permission, Qi Jiner ran forward to chase An Yue.

After Qi Jiner caught up with An Yue, she took An Yue's arm and said, "Sister An Yue, you are really amazing. Not only do you know how to farm, but you can also cook delicious food. I want to learn everything from you."

"Jin'er, thank you for the compliment. I'm just wondering if the dishes I made suit your taste."

The two of them walked into the kitchen while talking.

Xiaobao, who was sitting under the stove, shouted: "Auntie..."

"Little darling, play by yourself first. Auntie is going to cook."

Xiaobao nodded his carrot head obediently.

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer saw An Yue walk into the kitchen and asked, "Yueyue, you're here, they..."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The village chief and Brother Ah Hu have been asked to accompany you. Let's make lunch quickly." An Yue said as she took down the apron hanging on the wall and tied it on.

An Yue pointed at the small stool at the door of the kitchen and said, "Jin'er, just sit here. The smoke from the stove is too strong."

"okay."

Meng Xiuer was cutting vegetables behind the stove, while Xiaobao was sitting in the haystack under the stove, playing with firewood sticks.

An Yue rolled up her sleeves and said, "Sister-in-law, pass the fire, I'll cook!"

Meng Xiuer pulled up the apron around her waist and said while wiping her hands, "Okay, the rice will be ready soon."

An Yue looked at the vegetables behind the stove. There were bean sprouts, Chinese cabbage seedlings, potatoes, taro, two newly grown tender cucumbers in a basket, and bacon and sausages cooking in the pot.

Early summer is the season when vegetables are most scarce. Many vegetables are planted in the fields and have not yet grown.

The county magistrate came to Baili Village mainly to investigate the farming conditions and people's livelihood in the village.

The lunch was prepared too hastily, and it was obviously too late to kill chickens and ducks. It was better to just make a simple lunch as quickly as possible.

So, she thought that after the bacon and sausage were cooked, she would cut them and put them on separate plates. These would be two meat dishes.

Next, stir-fry bean sprouts with vinegar and stir-fry shredded potatoes.

For a cold dish, make a preserved egg and cucumber, and another dish of refreshing egg and cabbage soup.

There’s just some taro left, and I can’t think of what to do with it.

An Yue looked at Qi Jiner who was sitting at the door of the kitchen, and thought about making another dish of taro paste.

Taro paste is white in color and has a light taste. It also tastes great when sweetened and fragrant with osmanthus and honey.

To cook so many dishes, one pot is too slow.

So she thought of using two iron pots to cook it together, which would be much faster.

"Sister-in-law, please light a fire in the stove next to you." An Yue said as she cleaned another iron pot.

Meng Xiuer said in disbelief: "What? Yueyue, you want to use two iron pots to cook together?"

So she thought of using two iron pots to cook it together, which would be much faster.

"Yes!"

"Using two iron pans together, it's easy to burn the pans if you're too busy, and I'm afraid it will affect the taste."

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late now. We have to cook the food quickly."

"Well, okay, then Yueyue, tell me in time what temperature you need!"

Then, the aunt and sister-in-law cooperated and started various cooking operations.

......

The aunt and sister-in-law, An Yue, were busy behind the stove, the sweat on her face flowing down her neck.

My sister-in-law Meng Xiu'er sat between the two stoves, controlling the temperature of the two stoves.

At some point, Xiaobao ran off to play with Qi Jiner.

As the dishes were prepared, An Yue placed them all on the table behind the stove.

An Yue cut the bacon and sausage into slices as thin as a cicada's wing.

She first carefully placed the sausages in a circle along the plate.

She quickly ran to the courtyard and picked a few roses.

After washing the roses, place a blooming rose in the center of the plate with the sausages.

Next, start arranging the pork belly and smoked bacon, placing them one by one.

......

In all, she had already prepared the vinegar-fried bean sprouts and shredded potatoes.

"Sister-in-law, most of the dishes are ready and can be served now. The only dish left is the taro, which will be ready soon."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go wash my hands first and then take the dishes to the main hall." Meng Xiuer stood up and said that.

When everything was ready, the taro in the other pot was also cooked.

An Yue prepared to start making taro.

She scooped out all the taro and placed them in a small porcelain bowl.

Then use a clean rolling pin to mash the taro into paste.

First, add a small amount of water to honey and mix it with the taro paste to make the taro paste have a slightly sweet taste.

Then brush a layer of honey on a small bowl, put all the taro paste in the small bowl, and press the taro paste firmly with a spoon.

Finally, turn the small bowl upside down on the plate and gently open the small bowl, and the taro paste will be ready.

Then, An Yue scooped a few spoonfuls of honey, sprinkled some osmanthus into the honey and mixed it well.

Pour the prepared osmanthus honey on the taro paste from top to bottom.

After washing the roses, pick two small petals of the roses and sprinkle them casually on the honey in the taro paste to add a finishing touch.

Meng Xiuer had already brought all the dishes to the eight-immortal table in the main hall, and everyone was seated.
