Chapter 30 Sweet and Spicy Braised Food and Snow Meringue

After returning home, Chen Lin and his two siblings started to build a chicken coop. The original chicken coop was a bit small, and it was OK for two old hens, but it would not be big enough when a dozen chicks grew up.

Cheng Yue talked to Chen An for a few words and went to prepare lunch. Thinking that she had something to do in the afternoon, she directly took out the chicken and steamed buns from the space and ate them.

In order to prevent the children from thinking too much, Cheng Yue threw the last old hen in the chicken coop into the space. The three little ones looked reluctant.

But when he looked at the group of chicks in front of him, he smiled again, fortunately there would be successors.

Killing an old hen to eat is no big deal. Mom works so hard and Dad also needs to replenish his body. The old hen can be considered a glorious sacrifice.

After lunch, Cheng Yue went into the kitchen to cook.

Chen An took out a bag of seeds and asked Chen Lin and his two siblings to plant them in the vegetable garden. These seeds were taken out by Cheng Yue from the space.

He said they were tomatoes, peppers, and okra. He knew about peppers, but the seeds were a bit expensive, so he had never grown them at home.

He had never heard of tomatoes and okra before, so Cheng Yue picked one of each from the space and showed it to him.

The tomatoes were red and round and very pleasing to the eye. He knew that they were in the dumpling soup he had eaten two days ago. They were sweet and sour and very delicious.

Okra is so long and thin that it is even more unusual. But I don’t know how it tastes, so I can only wait until it is grown and try it.

Chen Lin and his two siblings looked at the seeds curiously, but thinking that they were given by their father, they did not think much about it. They thought that perhaps they had been bought before, so they picked up hoes and started planting vegetables.

Cheng Yue was flipping through the notebook where she wrote down the recipes. As for why she had the recipes, it was simply because she was greedy.

But she was in a poor situation in the village, and couldn't order takeout for what she wanted to eat, so she had to cook it herself.

She has read all the books and videos to pieces. As long as the food is delicious, she will not let it slip through the net. She has memorized a lot of recipes, and an entire notebook is hung on the cupboard.

She has made most of the things in the book. All the aunties and uncles in the village praise her cooking skills and the taste is absolutely perfect.

Cheng Yue looked at the recipe and took out a bunch of spices from the cupboard, including Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, chili peppers, cumin... very comprehensive.

After finding the spices, Cheng Yue soaked the kelp knots and bean curd sheets. During this time, he boiled water to prepare the two ducks.

The duck was alive, and the owner of the chicken and duck shop could help kill it, but Cheng Yue didn't let him, mainly because she didn't want to waste the duck blood.

Duck blood is a good thing. Wouldn’t it be delicious to make vermicelli soup?

Cheng Yue quickly killed the two ducks with her knife. After taking the blood, she scalded, plucked and cut the feathers in one go.

After all the cut ducks are blanched to remove the fishy smell, they can be washed clean and then marinated with spices.

In addition to the common spices and seasonings, Cheng Yue added a spoonful of sweet noodle sauce and thick soup base, took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and poured it in, and finally threw in a few pieces of rock sugar, and the sweet and spicy marinade was complete.

After braising the duck, Cheng Yue then processed the pig's head. She still felt that the five-spice flavored pig's head was more classic.

The pig's head and offal were thrown into the pot in the space to make five-spice sauce, and Cheng Yue began to prepare desserts.

There was no cream in this era, so Cheng Yue thought that making some cream desserts would be eye-catching.

After much deliberation, Cheng Yue decided to make Snow Meringue, which is small and delicate, and the key is that the steps are simple and easy to make.

There are all the materials in the space, making Snow Mei Niang is no problem.

For the first time, Cheng Yue was glad that she was a greedy foodie, otherwise the space would have nothing in it, wouldn’t that be like groping in the dark?

When Xue Mei Niang was done, Cheng Yue realized that there was no fruit or Oreos left in the space, so she had to put no filling in it.

Cheng Yue was busy making the snow meiniang, and the aroma of the braised food wafted out.

Chen Lin had planted several vegetables. When he smelled the fragrance, he stood at the kitchen door and looked inside.

"Mom, what delicious food have you made again?" Chen Ning blinked her big eyes. This was the first time her mom made it. It had a sweet and spicy taste, and she was drooling just by smelling it.

Cheng Yue turned around and saw three heads. They were indeed the king of supporting others and never missed such occasions.

"You are such a bunch of greedy little cats. Mom is making some stewed food. It's not cooked yet. I'll give it to you guys tonight."

Cheng Yue picked up the prepared snow meringue on the plate and said to the three children as she walked out, "Let's go, let's go to the courtyard and have some snacks first."

"Huh? What is this white and plump thing?" Cheng Yue put the plate on the table, her eyes widened.

Chen Tong poked it with his finger, "Yeah, it's still soft!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Take it and try it."

"Mmm, so soft and sweet! This skin can be pulled so long!"

"What's that white stuff in there? It's so delicious! Oh, I ate it all over my face!"

"Hahaha, my little sister has turned into a calico cat!"

Chen Ning didn't mind being laughed at by her elder brother and second sister. She used her fingers to wipe the cream off her face and smeared some on their faces when they were not paying attention.

Watching the three children smearing cream on each other, Cheng Yue held his forehead with his hand. Could it be that humans are born with the gene for smearing cream?

Looking back, I saw Chen An eating the Snow Meringue bite by bite, watching the three children playing with gentle eyes, as if life was going peacefully.

In the evening, the braised food was ready. Cheng Yue took out some duck, pig heads and offal, and the whole family ate with relish.

Especially the sweet and spicy duck products, which received unanimous praise from the whole family.

"Shaha~Shaha~"

Sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning each held a duck head and gnawed on it, inhaling while gnawing, and their hands could not stop fanning their mouths with air.

The reason why Cheng Yue took out two duck heads separately was because she found it hard to imagine a noble lady in ancient times gnawing on duck heads. It would be better to leave such a rude and bold task to them.

Looking at Chen Lin, he was also biting the duck thigh quite wildly.

Cheng Yue thought about it and decided that the duck thighs also had to be cut into small pieces. It was also hard to imagine the lady gnawing on the thighs!

Cheng Yue and Chen An looked at each other and silently ate the braised pig heart in front of them. As parents, they should be more polite.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yue prepared the items for the stall, and wrapped all the cut braised food and snow meringue in oil paper and put them in a bamboo basket.

As soon as the family arrived at the dock and set up their stall, Uncle Chen San came, looking a little impatient.

Cheng Yue handed him three small baskets and said:

"Mr. Chen, I have prepared two kinds of stewed food, one is sweet and spicy, and the other is spiced. I have packed them separately.

There is also this basket of snacks. Please take them. I hope Madam will like them."

Mr. Chen San didn't expect Cheng Yue to be so thoughtful. He was touched and bowed, saying, "If my wife likes it, I will definitely come to thank you."

After saying this, he looked at the three baskets in his hands and felt that one or two taels of silver was too little. Then he took out a silver ingot and put it on the table. He couldn't let a peasant woman suffer a loss.

After Cheng Yue was slightly surprised, she smiled and said, "If Madam likes it, this money will be used as a deposit for future meals."

Mr. Chen San smiled and said nothing, but in his heart he admired Cheng Yue. This was ten taels of silver, and she was just a peasant woman, and there was no expression on her face except indifference.
