Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

"Little sister, come and try it. Am I done?" The voice of the eldest sister Qingke came, and she rushed into the kitchen with a plate.

He placed the freshly made candies on the table for Qing Ning to taste. Qing Ning thought they looked good, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. "Well, this is the one that tastes a little bland, but I think it's okay. Grandpas, come and try it too. What do you think of this snack?"

Mr. Ma and Mr. Yu were not polite either. They walked forward, picked up a piece each and started eating.

"Fragrant, sweet, soft, and loose. Is this cherry pulp? And crushed peanuts? The sweetness is just right, it tastes just right to me." Mr. Ma picked up another piece after finishing his meal. It really suited his taste.

"I have never eaten this kind of snack before. It tastes very good." Old Master Yu was also very happy. It was just right for him to eat since his teeth were a little loose.

"Big sister, try this cherry jam." She picked some for Qingke to try. After Qingke finished eating, her eyes lit up: "This can be used as a filling for dessert. It's much sweeter than red bean paste."

"You and I are thinking the same thing. That's what I was planning. If you think it's feasible, we can buy more from Grandpa Sun."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go get another plate and send it to Mr. Wu and the others." As he was about to leave, Qing Ning stopped him.

"Sister, don't take too much. It'll be dinner time soon."

"I'll save myself the trouble and let them have a taste."

Qing Ning came back to her senses and saw the two old men still eating, so she reminded them, "Grandpas, please eat less of these sweets. You just said your teeth are loose, and it's time for dinner soon. You should eat less after a big meal that's only half full."

The two of them were a little embarrassed, and smiled and said they understood, and would eat the last piece. Qing Ning shook his head helplessly, what a child.

"Little sister, you know how happy I am to eat this candy. I wonder what kind of delicious egg cake my elder sister will make?" Qingzhu looked longingly.

"It tastes even better than this, just wait. My elder sister's cooking skills are top-notch, I guarantee you will enjoy watching and eating it." Qing Ning was full of admiration for her elder sister.

After tidying up everything, Qing Ning began to prepare tonight's fish feast.

Pickled fish, garlic-flavored fish fillets, fish head and tofu stew, steamed fish cubes, fish head soup, grilled fish, squirrel fish, and fish ball soup are all the dishes that can be cooked with the existing ingredients.

In line with the principle of all-round development, morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laboriously, Qing Ning felt that the brothers had spent enough time studying today and deserved a break. So she called a few of them and asked them to come to the kitchen to help.

"Brother Qingwu, you are strong, you come and pound the fish into paste." Qingning arranged everyone's tasks.

First, he instructed Qingwu to separate the fish meat from the bones, remove the bones, and then run boiling water over the fish to peel off the skin. Then he had him take the fish meat out and pound it into a paste in a stone mortar. He then added chopped ginger, Guyue powder, and a pinch of salt, beating it until it became sticky.

Put water in the pot, beat the fish meat, squeeze it into balls of the same size with your hands, put them into the water and bring the water to a boil. When the fish balls are cooked and float up, put them into cold water.

Take a clean earthenware pot, add water and bring it to a boil, then put the fish balls in. After the water boils, add salt, green onion and Gu Yue powder and serve.

While Qingwu prepared the fish balls, Qingning personally filleted the fish. However, her knife was a bit heavy and blunt, which affected the aesthetic quality of the fillets. She then directed Yu Wu to grill the fish in the courtyard. By preparing the three most demanding dishes simultaneously, she saved a lot of time.

"Second sister, do you have any sauerkraut at home?" Qingning asked while slicing the fish. This sauerkraut fish would have lost its soul without the sauerkraut.

"We don't have any at home, but Grandma Wang's definitely has some. Her pickled cabbage is truly amazing."

"Then, Second Sister, go to Granny Wang's house and ask for some pickled mustard greens. A small plate will be enough. Then go to Aunt Hua's house and see if they have any tofu left."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Qingzhu said and ran out.

After slicing the fish, wash and dry the fish slices, then add salt, Gu Yue powder, Cheng starch and other seasonings to marinate.

Qingbai was asked to chop the fish into pieces, separate the head, and cut the bones into sections for later use. The two old men also expressed their willingness to help, and Qingning didn't hesitate to let them peel garlic.

"Is Grandma Wang at home?" Qingzhu stood at the gate of the yard and called out into the yard.

"Who is it?" Granny Wang came out of the room tremblingly. Her eyesight was not very good due to years of hard work, so she could only squint.

"Mother-in-law, I'm Qingzhu." Seeing someone coming out, Qingzhu took a few steps forward and came up to her.

"Oh, it's Qingzhu. It's my fault that I didn't see it clearly because of my poor eyesight. What happened?" Grandma Wang was thinking about the good things about her family and was happy to see people coming.

"Mother-in-law, I know your pickled cabbage is the most delicious, so I shamelessly asked for a plate of pickled cabbage to take back." As she said this, she handed the plate in her hand forward.

"It's not hard for this kid to want to eat pickled cabbage. Bringing such a small plate is really insulting. Just wait for me to get it out for you."

After saying that, she turned and went into the house. Qingzhu hurriedly followed and supported her.

Granny Wang took a small dustpan. Seeing this, Qingzhu quickly stopped her: "Granny, you don't need so much. Just fill this plate. It will be hard to store it when you go back. Come back and ask for it after you finish eating. As long as you don't mind."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Eat as much as you want. It's not something precious. Is this one plate enough?" Grandma Wang was afraid that Qingzhu would feel embarrassed, so she asked again.

"That's enough, mother-in-law. Just this one plate."

"Okay, this one plate."

It was said to be a plate, but Granny Wang filled it up to the brim. No matter what Qingzhu said, it was useless. Qingzhu had no choice but to take it back.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. I'll go back then."

"Okay, come back if you like it."

"okay"

I ran all the way home and the aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air.

"Little sister, I'm back. I feel embarrassed that Grandma Wang gave me so much." After putting the plate on the stove, Qingning sat behind the stove consciously.

"Most villagers are simple and honest. They are willing to give away their own things to others. After the fish is cooked, I will give a bowl of it to the two of them."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's time to get off work at the workshop. Are Mai Miao and the others still helping Big Sister make cakes?"

"That's right. Just now, my eldest sister came and called Brother Qingwu away. He said his hands were tired from beating eggs. Even Uncle Yuqi and Father were called away as they had just returned from the fields."

Qing Ning laughed as she spoke, and Qing Zhu also laughed, "It takes so many people to crack an egg. This is not a job that ordinary people can do. If we don't sell these egg cakes for one or two taels of silver each, it would be a shame for all the effort these people have put in."

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Sister, light the fire and heat the pot."

"okay"

I just tasted some of the pickled cabbage, and it was just the right amount of sourness and not too salty, so I only rinsed it twice with water. Heat the pan with oil, add ginger, garlic, and chili, and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the pickled cabbage and other seasonings and stir-fry evenly.

Add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil. Put in the fish head and fish bones first and bring to a boil. Remove them after they are cooked, leaving only the soup base. Then put in the fish fillets and cook until they change color. Finally, add salt and other seasonings to taste.

I put some chopped chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns on it, washed the pot, heated up the oil, and poured the hot oil over the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to stimulate the aroma.

For the Squirrel Mandarin Fish recipe, freshly made cherry sauce is used instead of tomatoes. Evenly coat the marinated and cut fish with cornstarch. When the oil is 6-7°C hot, add the fish and deep-fry. Use chopsticks to hold the fish in place until golden brown, then remove from the pan and drain. Add the fish head and deep-fry until golden brown.

Leave some oil in the pot and pour in cherry jam and water, then add some sugar. After boiling, add appropriate amount of cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Cook until it becomes thick and evenly pour it on the fish.

Yu Wu's fish was almost done roasting, so he fried the side dishes and ingredients together, found a larger clay pot, poured all the ingredients in it, and sprinkled some green onions on it.

The rest will be ready soon. The fish meat is easy to cook and soon a table full of fish feast will be ready. There are all kinds of appearances and flavors, and it is really delicious.
