Chapter 210 Rabbit Oven
Xu Congyi stood aside, because she had the original owner's memory, and after listening to her family, she remembered these things, and she couldn't help laughing. She told her family about her idea of building a flush toilet in the backyard. Although everyone couldn't imagine it, since Xu Congyi wanted to build it, they fully supported it.
"By the way, grandpa, I plan to fill up the barbecue pit in the backyard. Please help me build a barbecue oven in the yard." Xu Congyi remembered what his grandfather said before, and thought that if the backyard was used as a toilet, it would be better not to put the barbecue oven in the backyard.
"Okay!" Old man Xu agreed readily. Making an oven was a piece of cake for him.
When Li Dahua heard about building a barbecue oven, she also said, "Dad, make the oven bigger. I went to visit my family a few days ago and saw Da Niu's family grilling meat in the oven. They said that Da Niu's father caught a wild rabbit when he was chopping wood in the mountains. We have so many rabbits and chickens at home, let's grill a few to satisfy our cravings."
"No problem!" Old Man Xu smiled. "Let Youhu and I go dig some yellow mud this afternoon, and I'll build the oven this afternoon."
Li Dahua picked leeks, and she planned to make stewed eggs with leeks for lunch, and eat noodles with stewed eggs for lunch. When Xu Cong saw it, he asked what they were eating, and when he learned that Li Dahua was going to roll noodles, she smiled and said coquettishly that she would eat leeks in the evening and let her cook for lunch.
"Yi Yi, what do you want to eat? It's just that mother kneads the dough for making noodles, and the dough is a little hard. If you want to make pancakes, you have to knead it again." Li Dahua thought her daughter wanted to eat pancakes for lunch.
"Mom, let's not change to pancakes, let's still eat noodles. But not ordinary noodles with gravy, but stewed noodles with green beans!" Ever since he knew he would have noodles for lunch, Xu Congyi thought of stewed noodles with green beans, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted it.
"Okay, then mom will roll the noodles for you later." Although Li Dahua had never heard of the name "braised noodles", seeing her daughter so excited, she naturally agreed and was full of expectations.
Xu Congyi bought beans from the space, and Xu's mother washed the beans, removed the tendons, and cut them into sections. Xu Congyi cut the pork belly into thin slices and marinated it with white wine and a small amount of soy sauce for 10 minutes. Heat the pan with cold oil, add garlic and sauté the oil, then add the marinated meat slices, stir-fry until it changes color, then add the beans, and continue to stir-fry until the surface of the beans is slightly wrinkled and the color becomes brighter green.
Xu Congyi added a proper amount of soy sauce to the pot, stir-fried it evenly, and then added enough water to cover the beans and a little higher, because the noodles will be stewed later. After boiling over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for a few minutes to let the beans soften slightly and absorb the flavor of the soup. At this time, serve another bowl of soup for later use. Li Dahua had just cut the noodles, and Xu Congyi evenly spread the noodles on the beans and meat, trying not to let the noodles touch the bottom of the pot to prevent them from sticking.
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat. After a while, the kitchen will be filled with tempting aromas. When the noodles are cooked and have absorbed the essence of the soup, open the pot and add the noodles.
Finally, when Xu opened the lid of the pot, a richer aroma came to his nose, making people salivate. The noodles in the pot had absorbed the soup and became soft and elastic. Xu's family loved garlic, so they sprinkled minced garlic on the noodles before serving, which made them more delicious.
"Okay, it's time to eat!" Xu Congyi greeted his family with a smile, and each person had a large plate, which was quite filling. Looking at the steaming and fragrant plates of braised bean noodles, the Xu family couldn't help but feel hungry. Xu Congyi also ate very happily, and Xu the hunter even served three plates, finishing the whole pot of braised noodles. However, after all, Li Dahua still made the amount of noodles according to the appetite of the family, so it was considered a normal amount of food.
After lunch, Old Man Xu hurried to make a grill for his granddaughter. When he came back just now, Hunter Xu had already dug two full baskets of loess. Hunter Xu had specially dug it from the other side of the mountain. The soil was fine and warm in color. It was obviously carefully selected high-quality loess, enough to support a strong and practical grill. Old Man Xu's hands were famous for their dexterity. He started to work with ease. His big hands, full of traces of time, flew through the loess, as if he was carving a work of art.
Before long, the prototype of the oven gradually took shape under his deft hands. It was square and regular with a solid structure. After completing the main body, Old Man Xu looked at the remaining yellow mud and a childish interest surged in his heart. He had an idea and decided to carefully mold the remaining yellow mud into two lifelike rabbit ears, small and exquisite, and every arc perfectly showed the rabbit's agility and cuteness.
Old man Xu found some thick iron wires from Xu Congyi's previous work in the warehouse. These wires seemed to be given life in his hands. He skillfully bent and fixed them, and finally cleverly connected them to the rabbit ears, ensuring that they could "grow" steadily on the oven, which was both beautiful and practical, without worrying about them falling off.
After it is done, it just needs to be dried and then fired. Old man Xu looks at the results in front of him, his eyes flashing with satisfaction and pride. He knows that when his granddaughter sees this special gift, she will be happy.
