Chapter 810: Clay Pot Tofu and Spicy Scallion Flower Rolls
Li Mingyu said he was unwilling to do anything, and Li Mingxia was not the kind of person to force him, so he could only open all the oil paper packages and then take out some clean oil paper from the small cabinet in the carriage.
"This is fried small fish. We made a lot of it. It will be fine if we keep it for seven or eight days in this weather. You and my second uncle can have it as a snack when we have nothing to do." Li Mingxia filled a bag with fried small yellow croakers for Li Mingyu. Even if the father and daughter ate it every day, it would last them three or four days. Besides, it was so salty, who could eat it as a meal?
“So many, then…” Li Mingyu knew that the little fish was delicious, but she felt embarrassed when she saw Li Mingxia put so much in it. She wondered if it was too much. If she accepted it all, would her uncle and aunt have anything left to eat?
"There are a lot. You saw it during the day. I asked them to buy so many. We have much more than you do. Don't worry." Li Mingxia pointed behind him. There were at least seven or eight oil paper bags, all of which looked bulging. You could tell at a glance that there were a lot of things.
Li Mingyu's face was red, and it was unclear whether she was happy or shy, or maybe both.
"This is the fried chicken you two just ate. It doesn't just have chicken legs, there are other things too. I'm sure you will like it. I'll give you and Second Uncle some of each. But this thing won't taste good if it's kept for too long. It will all be eaten up tomorrow at the latest. Tell Second Uncle that if he can't finish it tomorrow, just throw it away. Don't be reluctant to eat it. It will not be worth it if you damage your health." Li Mingxia instructed Li Mingyu in detail.
"This is smoked chicken. I heard from my father a few days ago that he and my second uncle both like to eat this smoked chicken. So I sent someone to buy a few today and gave two to your family. Anyway, this can be kept for several days and you can eat it slowly as a side dish." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
The more Li Mingyu listened, the more touched he felt. Sister Mingxia had always been so good to him and considered him in everything. Even if she was his biological sister, she would be like this, right?
"Okay, okay, since you're not coming to my house for dinner, I won't keep you here. Go home and cook." Li Mingxia glanced outside the carriage and saw that they had arrived at Li Mingyu's house, so he said directly.
Li Mingyu smiled and happily jumped off the carriage carrying the heavy oil-paper bags.
"Let's go, let's go home too." Li Mingxia put Che Lian down and rubbed his hands gently.
Although it is not winter anymore, it is still very cold.
"What should we eat tonight?" Li Mingxia murmured.
In this weather, it is actually best to eat some soup. After eating, your body will feel warm and your mood will improve.
But I just had hotpot two days ago, so I would feel a little sick of it if I eat it again today.
"How about cabbage and tofu tonight? Something lighter." Li Mingxia's eyes lit up, and he already had an idea for tonight's menu.
"Cabbage and tofu? Can this be delicious?" Li Zhengde was stunned and asked uncertainly.
This thing doesn't sound delicious, it's just bland, how can you swallow it?
Don't blame him! He has been eating too many good foods these days. He really feels like he can't eat anything like cabbage and tofu, which don't have any oil or water at all!
Li Mingxia didn't intend to explain it to him clearly, but just smiled mysteriously.
"Do you think the food I make can be bad? Don't worry, I'm afraid you will eat more than anyone else."
After hearing what his sister said, Li Zhengde immediately became looking forward to the tofu and cabbage.
As long as my sister says it’s delicious, then it won’t be bad. Just wait patiently.
After arriving home, Li Zhengde took the oil paper bags and went to look for Zhang and the others.
"Mom, don't eat too much! Just taste it, don't indulge her! If you can't finish it, share it with your brother and take it to your own room!" Li Mingxia walked towards the kitchen while loudly admonishing Li Zhengde.
I don’t know why, she didn’t talk so much before, but now she is becoming more and more nagging.
"I got it, sister. Don't worry!" Li Zhengde agreed and walked into the house without stopping.
Li Mingxia went to the kitchen and first asked the maid to make steamed buns.
"Brush each layer of the steamed bun with oil, and then sprinkle with chopped green onions. Don't use big green onions, use chopped green onions, cut them into small pieces, and then sprinkle a layer of this seasoning on it. Don't use too much, otherwise it will be too salty." Li Mingxia put the chili powder he had carefully prepared and the green onions he took out from the space on the chopping board.
Even if the scrolls made in this way are not eaten with any side dishes, you can eat two or three at a time. They taste really good.
"Make some more and you can try them. If there are those who don't like flower rolls, you can make rice or something else and you don't have to tell me."
Although Li Mingxia likes to eat steamed buns of this flavor, there is no guarantee that everyone will like it.
The maids all agreed quickly.
Li Mingxia has always been generous and has never been stingy when it comes to food and drink. As long as there is no waste, he can eat as much as he wants. After all, you can't want the horse to run without eating grass, right?
"Miss, let's do it. Isn't this just stewed? Don't worry, it's so simple that we can make it. Miss, you can take a rest."
When the old women saw Li Mingxia was going to make cabbage and tofu, they hurried forward to take over.
I can’t figure out how to make more complicated dishes, but how can I not figure out how to make cabbage and tofu?
Li Mingxia waved his hand, "You guys go make a few more meat dishes, oh, remember to stew some beef with potatoes, and then mix some cool and refreshing side dishes, you don't have to worry about this."
Don’t underestimate this cabbage and tofu dish. The taste can make a huge difference if it is cooked well or not.
The old women knew that Li Mingxia was always very opinionated and he never changed his mind, so they all went about their own business.
The cabbage and tofu were not stewed in an iron pot, but simmered slowly over low heat in a casserole. Kelp, vermicelli, and a little bit of baby cabbage were also added to it.
The kelp is not kelp slices, but kelp shreds; the tofu is not fresh tofu, but frozen tofu.
Frozen tofu tastes the best, and the holes inside are filled with soup, it's so delicious.
Li Mingxia felt happy watching the cabbage and tofu bubbling, and after a while he threw in the sliced pork belly.
You can add pork belly to the cabbage and tofu, or you can just stew it as is, but Li Mingxia still thinks it tastes better with pork belly slices.
And it is best to use animal oil as this oil will make it more fragrant!
