Chapter 346 - steam cooker
Nuan Nuan’s family is preparing to make a steam pot for New Year’s Eve dinner, so I started preparing all kinds of ingredients for this evening early in the morning. All the ingredients need to be processed properly, otherwise, will you be in a hurry?
It just so happened that the Nuan Nuan family and the four elders of his own came here this year. Su Qiao was also on vacation on the 30th day of the new year, but he would go to the hospital on duty on the first day of the new year. Su Qiao was also on duty because of My wife is still in confinement to get the holiday on New Year’s Eve.
There are also a lot of ingredients to be prepared in the steam pot, and there are many kinds of ingredients that can be steamed. The most are all kinds of seafood, because Chen Xunyang’s people are all fresh seafood, so there are many kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs.
Everyone is cleaning the ingredients all day today, such as crabs that need to be cleaned. Chen Xunyang sent people not only swimming crabs, but also flower crabs, stone crabs, bread crabs, king crabs, Dungeness crabs, emperor crabs and other crabs.
In particular, the three types of crabs, king crab, king crab, and bread crab, are very large. Suqiao and the others disassembled these crabs, and it is impossible to steam a whole crab. So they disassemble the crab legs and clean the crab’s guts and stuff like that.
All kinds of crabs have been cleaned by Suqiao and the others for a long time. Although crabs are not edible, others can still eat them, right? The taste of crabs is very good. Although Nuan Nuan can’t eat it, she can’t deprive others of the right to eat it. She can’t let her relatives eat it if she can’t eat it herself?
In addition to crabs, of course, there are all kinds of shrimps, such as Jiwei shrimp, Pipi shrimp, Chinese splendid lobster, Australian lobster, Boston lobster, etc. There are all kinds of large lobsters and small shrimps. These are warm. Edible.
There are also shellfish such as abalone, clams, scallops, and scallops, as well as various edible conch shells. Then there is the fish meat, such as tuna, salmon, grouper, squid, pomfret, cod and other marine fish, which are also slaughtered and cleaned, and then the meat is sliced.
When making fish in a steamer, it is of course impossible to steam the whole fish, so it is time for Su Qiao and Su Shi to show their talents. Then put them into a large pot and add their own seasonings to marinate.
In addition to these seafood porridge, there are also beef, sheep and pork, beef and so on, the bison summoned by Nuan Nuan. Of course, the bison she summoned this time is not a big one. The weight of a bison that is about to become an adult was taken by Chen Tiezheng. After He Su Shi killed him, he decomposed the beef.
This cow probably has several hundred kilograms of meat and internal organs. After these things were processed, they were frozen by Chen Tiezheng with snow and brought home. All of them were put into the space by Nuan Nuan. Chen Tiezheng and the others couldn’t stay with Nuan Nuan all the time, so perhaps Chen Tiezheng planned to keep Nuan Nuan there so that he could eat for a long time.
However, Nuan Nuan thinks that Su Shi can make these unfinished beef into braised beef or beef jerky for the elders to bring back when they go back to Beijing. Anyway, Nuan Nuan has everything she wants, and she doesn’t at all. Worrying about not being able to satisfy your cravings when you are thirsty.
In addition to beef, mutton and pork are still the animals summoned by Nuan Nuan, and she did not buy them from others. At this time, everyone raises livestock and so on. Because there is no revolution of the past ten years, the number of animals raised by every household is limited, so Nuan Nuan can buy it if he wants to.
However, even so, there are not many people raised by everyone, and the army needs a lot of mutton and pork, so Nuan Nuan does not plan to fight with the army. She asked her father to go up the mountain directly, and she came back with a yellow head. Sheep and a herd of wild boars.
The Nuan Nuan family left a wild boar weighing more than 100 pounds, and the remaining several wild boars were all sold to the troops at low prices. Nuan Nuan’s brothers do often send things to the troops, but they are sent in the name of the company, and Nuan Nuan does not want to send meat to the logistics of the troops in the name of individuals.
Beef, mutton and pork are also sliced into slices. Except for the tenderest part of beef and mutton that is not marinated, the rest of these meats are all marinated with seasonings, and some are marinated without seasonings. Ready to eat warm.
After all, Nuan Nuan is still confinement and breastfeeding, so she can’t eat too many seasonings.
After processing the meat and vegetables, I also have to prepare a lot of vegetarian dishes, such as tofu, bean skin, dried tofu, gluten, etc., as well as yuba… bean sprouts, leeks, and some green leafy vegetables born by the Nuan Nuanhe Yu mother and daughter. , Lettuce, Chinese cabbage, lettuce and other vegetables are available.
After a busy day, Nuan Nuan’s house was also decorated with lanterns, and the red lanterns that had been prepared for a long time were hung outside the house.
Nuan Nuan’s house is a typical northern farmyard, so two red lanterns are hung on the courtyard gate of Nuan Nuan’s house, and they are still connected to electric wires and electric lights. The lights are turned on at night. It can also light the way.
The two lights at the entrance of Nuan Nuan’s house are actually solar street lights, so these two lights will come on every time it gets dark, and they will go out when it gets dark. Just now, the lanterns are hung up, which is very festive and can illuminate.
In addition to the two lamps at the entrance of the courtyard, Chen Tiezheng and Mrs. Yu also hung four lanterns under the eaves. Of course, the lanterns did not put candles or electric lights in. After all, all four lanterns have candles or electric lights. Ah? In the winter, no one is outside, so there is no need for so much lighting. Two street lamps are already very good.
After hanging up the lanterns, Nuan Nuan’s house also closed the door to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and Su Qiao had already started the preparations for the steam pot.
Because there is no steam pot of later generations, the steam pot of Nuan Nuanjia today is an ordinary steam pot. Put water in it and boil it and use steam to steam the food. So today’s meal, we all eat around the stove.
Because they had already prepared for the steam pot today, Su Qiao and Chen Tiezheng had already prepared a table suitable for steam pot or hot pot. The place in the middle is empty, just right to put a pot in it.
Hot water is boiled in the pot in the middle, and various ingredients are placed on the table next to it, as well as the tableware and chopsticks of the diners.
Su Qiao saw that the water in the pot was almost boiling, so he put a few lotus leaves on the steamer, just in time to put the ingredients on the lotus leaves to steam, so as to ensure that the ingredients would not stick to the steamer , can also absorb the aroma of lotus leaves.
