Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Then Xiao Wan and Aunt Zhang quickly cooked a few dishes.

First up is a pot of tofu pudding, accompanied by four homemade condiments. Tofu pudding is a dish suitable for all ages, and is refreshing and smooth.

In her previous life, Xiao Wan loved tofu pudding the most. A small bowl of tofu pudding with seasoning would make her feel extremely satisfied after taking a bite. Xiao Wan liked it very much, and this dish was also suitable for Master Yuan.

Then he asked Aunt Zhang to fillet the black fish, and Xiao Wan to cut the sauerkraut, and made a full pot of sauerkraut fish fillets.

Farmhouse dishes are served in generous portions, large plates and bowls, and are filling and delicious.

Xiao Wan also made braised lion's head.

Ingredients for braised lion's head: minced pork, rapeseed, carrot, 1 shallot, 1 small piece of ginger, and appropriate amount of potato starch.

Then adjust the flavor, some cooking oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon white wine, and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Wash and mince scallions and ginger, wash rapeseed, and wash and shred carrots. Combine the ground pork with the scallions, ginger, cornstarch, pepper, and soy sauce. Blend until elastic and form into meatballs of equal size.

When mincing the meat, follow the principle of "30% fat, 70% lean." Heat half a pan of oil and fry the meatballs until golden brown.

Leave a little cooking oil in the wok, stir-fry rapeseed and shredded carrots, then pour in the fried meatballs and add soy sauce, water and cooking wine. Simmer on medium heat for more than 10 minutes until cooked through, thicken with water starch, drizzle with cooking oil and serve.

Xiao Wan cooked another pot of pork ribs and potatoes. Aunt Zhang skillfully pinched a few steamed buns and sprinkled them with chopped green onions. Half a quarter of an hour before serving, she placed the buns on top of the vegetables and simmered them until cooked. This was the stewed pork ribs and potatoes buns.

It comes out of one pot, fragrant and delicious.

Braised pork (hong shao rou), a famous and popular dish, is popular in many major cuisines, each with its own unique version. It's made with pork belly, preferably three-layer pork (pork belly) with alternating fat and lean meat. It's cooked in a clay pot, resulting in a perfectly balanced, sweet, tender, nutritious, and melt-in-your-mouth flavor.

Heat oil in a pan and fry some vegetable meatballs. Mix spinach, vermicelli and dried shrimps, roll them into a ball, sprinkle them with crushed steamed buns, fry them in a pan, and serve on a plate.

After soaking the vermicelli until soft, she prepared to make minced meat vermicelli and cabbage fried vermicelli. Although Master Yuan seemed interested in her workshop, Xiao Wan felt that he did not look like a businessman.

It’s hard to explain the feeling, but Xiao Wan instinctively felt this way.

But no matter what the reason, Xiao Wan felt that he had no ill intentions.

Then I made a few home-cooked stir-fries and a cold dish of fresh celery.

After Xiao Wan planted several crops of celery in the space, she finally managed to grow an improved celery that tastes similar to modern fruit celery. It is delicious without adding too much seasoning.

Fresh and tender, with a crispy texture! This dish was loved by the whole family, and Xiao Wan even asked Tian Shouzhong to find someone to set aside a plot of land to grow vegetables for their family!

Finally, I made a dish of fish porridge.

The staple food is dumplings, which everyone in my family loves.

Chop minced garlic, black fungus, and leek into shreds, beat an egg, add a spoonful of cooking oil, pour in the egg, stir-fry until cooked, remove from the pan, pour in black fungus, leek, egg, minced garlic, minced ginger, and salt, stir well, wrap the filling into dumplings with dumpling wrappers, add water to the pot, pour in the dumplings after boiling, and continue to cook for 1 minute after the dumplings float up before removing from the pan!

Xiao Wan divided out a portion of each dish after cooking, and set up a table in the corridor outside the door when serving. She expected that the guards would not be able to eat with her, so if that was the case, it would be better to eat in the corridor so that they could always listen to her instructions if anything happened.

Xiao Wan couldn't change her modern thinking after all. She was not used to having servants wait by her side while she ate at home.

When the food was served, the elder Yuan noticed the table in the corridor and nodded calmly.

Liu asked the guards to sit down, but they all declined. It was only when Master Yuan asked them to sit down that they sat down nervously. However, they did not sit down firmly and kept their eyes on the surroundings.

Xiao Wan felt exhausted and sympathetic towards them.

The food was placed in the main hall and everyone took their seats. Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Liu warmly persuaded them. The middle-aged man did not wait for Old Man Xiao to put the food into Mr. Yuan's bowl. He took out a bag of needles from the cloth bag beside him and was about to poke them into the food.

He planned to taste each dish himself before serving it to Mr. Yuan.

Old Man Xiao's hand was awkwardly stuck in the air, and Mrs. Liu was also a little embarrassed. Xiao Wan's face remained expressionless, she just smiled and said nothing.

The elder glared at the middle-aged man and said unhappily, "Your current job is getting better and better. There's no need to be so particular when you're out there."

The middle-aged man retreated reluctantly, and Master Yuan handed the plate to Old Man Xiao. Old Man Xiao reacted immediately and picked up the serving chopsticks to pick up some more dishes for Master Yuan.

The middle-aged man looked at his master in surprise.

Seeing Master Yuan eating, the middle-aged man couldn't help but called out "Master" worriedly!

As soon as the words came out, the tone of the voice was high-pitched, thin, and somewhat feminine. Everyone was a little surprised, but Xiao Wan's expression remained unchanged.

Mr. Yuan glanced at Xiao Wan, smiled slightly, and introduced the middle-aged man to everyone as his other butler. He was usually cautious and asked the Xiao family not to mind.

Then he started eating as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Wan poured him a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to him with a smile, saying, "Master Yuan, I added some medicinal herbs to this chicken soup to nourish your body. You must have been exhausted from the journey, so drink some chicken soup to replenish your body."

The middle-aged man hurriedly took it for his master. Butler Zhao also sat down, and Xiao Wan also served him a bowl of chicken soup.

Butler Zhao stood up to thank him, and Xiao Wan waved her hands and asked him to sit down.

Mr. Yuan brought the chicken soup. As soon as Pu took a sip, he could smell the refreshing aroma and felt refreshed. He couldn't help but drink a few more mouthfuls eagerly. Sure enough, his body relaxed a lot and he seemed to be in much better spirits.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It had been a long time since he saw the master eating so happily.

Seeing that Butler Zhao hadn't drunk yet, he smiled and advised: "Butler Zhao, try this soup quickly. It has a unique flavor. After drinking it, you will feel refreshed."

Butler Zhao smiled and nodded, then started drinking too.

He originally thought that the master was just being polite, but he didn't expect that the taste was so delicious that it made him feel refreshed after drinking it.

He drank it in one gulp, then asked Xiao Wan curiously, "Miss Xiao, what did you add to this soup? Why is it so delicious?"

"Actually, there's nothing special about it. The water used to make the soup is probably mountain spring water, and the chicken is a farm-raised chicken. I added herbs like codonopsis, astragalus, red dates, and wolfberry, which are good for replenishing qi and strengthening the body. It tastes especially fresh."

Xiao Wan explained with a smile.
