Chapter 14: The Spare Ribs Are Really Delicious

The younger brother frowned and thought for a while. Then he took out a big bottle from the back room.

"This is the only one at home, not the white sugar you mentioned."

Ye Yuze took it and took a look and couldn't help but laugh.

It turns out that the candy at home is indeed lumpy. It's the kind of cube made of pressed white sugar. Just like in a coffee shop.

Ye Yuze has to worry about it this time. He can't just throw the sugar cubes into the pot and fry it, right?

But at least this piece of candy is not that strong, and it will break into pieces if you hit it lightly with the back of a knife.

The younger brother watched him cooking curiously. When he saw the sugar foam turning into burnt red in the oil pan, he shouted anxiously:

"Get it out quickly, it's mushy!"

Ye Yuze patiently explained to his brother for a long time what fried sugar color is.

The younger brother listened for a long time, seeming to understand, and then asked.

"Why does the meat have to be fried red?"

Ye Yuze immediately shut up when he heard this question. A long day of explaining about feelings was all in vain.

When he put the ribs into the pot and fried them into a red sauce. Ye Yufan's little mouth was almost dripping with laughter.

Only then did he ask his brother again.

"Want to eat?"

The younger brother nodded. "Want to eat."

He asked again: "Why do you want to eat?"

The younger brother tilted his head and thought for a moment. "nice!"

Ye Yuze sighed. It turns out that relying on theory to educate children is not enough. Comprehensive counseling that is both color and flavor is required.

Place the ribs, add water and cook slowly in the pot.

Ye Yuze began to knead the noodles. The noodles that come out of old noodles should be filled with alkaline noodles. Otherwise it will be sour.

Guessing alkaline noodles is a technical job. Be sure to knead evenly. And in moderation.

If there is too little alkaline noodles, the buns will be sour; if there are too many, the buns will turn yellow. It will look even worse if it is not kneaded evenly.

There will be yellow and white marks on the surface of the steamed buns. As ugly as it is.

This really doesn't bother Ye Yuze. People believe that the alkaline noodles are melted with water, and the alkaline water is poured directly into the basin and kneaded. Just wait until all the water is kneaded into the dough.

Ye Yuze was lazy. He mixed alkaline noodles and flour directly.

Anyway, the dough needs to be dipped in flour even if you take it out. It's very fast to rub it in directly. And there will never be any low-level mistakes like not kneading the alkaline noodles evenly.

After kneading the dough, Ye Yuze rolled it into a large dough piece. Then apply a layer of oil. Sprinkle some chopped onion and salt.

Onions are also the main dish in northern Xinjiang in winter. However, it is not called onion in northern Xinjiang. And called Piyazi.

As for the origin of this name. Ye Yuze looked through Xinhua Dictionary and couldn't figure it out.

Roll the dough into a long roll. Then cut it into fist size with a knife.

At this time, the ribs are almost cooked. A rich meaty aroma is already exuding from the pot.

Ye Yuze put in the chopped potatoes, radishes and onions.

Then put the dough roll in a circle around the pot. Finally cover the pot. I saw that the lid of the wooden pot was not tight enough.

Just cover it again with a wet towel. He was afraid that too much steam would escape and the rolls would not be cooked properly.

This practice became very popular in later generations, and merchants specially bought some cast iron pots. Then it's served in one pot when it's time to serve.

There is either fish, chicken or ribs in the pot. Add cornmeal tortillas and flower rolls on the side. It’s euphemistically called “out of one pot”. Or call it a pot stew.

Ye Yufan directly wanted to help light the fire and couldn't even drive him away. In fact, he was just greedy and couldn't bear to leave this pot of meat.

I saw him burning up. Ye Yuze also went to light the stove on the fire wall.

It’s all rapeseed residue anyway. It's on fire at one point.

Ye Yuze made another pot of water. When his parents came back, they would have hot water to wash their faces and eat.

After a while, mom and dad arrived home. Dad should come back earlier.

As soon as my mother walked in, she looked at the warm house. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

He said to his father: "What's going on today? Are you willing to come back early? Are you still doing so much work?"

Dad was stunned for a moment but did not explain. At first glance, it means trying to fish in troubled waters. Those who are greedy for merit have their own merits.

Unexpectedly, Comrade Ye Yufan, a straight man with steel, was already beside him impatiently. Yell loudly.

"Mom, the meat my brother cooks is so delicious. I'm hungry!"

Mom immediately understood what was going on. He looked at his eldest son. I burst into tears again in an instant.

Then he hugged Ye Yuze and kissed him.

Ye Yuze looked at his father and cursed secretly. This is what my younger brother did, and I don’t want to take over from you.

The couple washed their faces and hands, and Ye Yuze was busy taking the pot and serving the dishes.

The moment Ye Yuze opened the pot. Both people looked over.

There's nothing I can do, don't worry! No matter how sensible an eight-year-old child is. They really don't know whether the food they cook can be eaten.

As soon as the pot was opened, the two of them were shocked.

The soup for stewing the ribs has been drained, and the ribs in the pot are red in color. Brightly colored, served with white potatoes and golden radish pieces. Extraordinarily tempting.

Mom and Dad didn't even bother to wash their faces, so they both came over to watch.

"Son, who did you learn this from?"

Mom asked Ye Yuze with excitement.

"I learned it from my grandma." Ye Yuze had no choice but to answer.

"My son is so awesome!"

The mother is obviously not embarrassed because her son's cooking skills are better than hers. Praising with pride on his face.

In the hearts of all mothers in the world, nothing unexpected happens to their son. Because her son is the best.

In fact, my mother took out a plate of pork ribs and went out to show off to the neighbors.

"Look at the food my son cooked. Is it good? Come on, you guys have a try."

Mom's voice was so loud that Ye Yuze could hear her clearly at home.

He suddenly became a little worried. He had to show off to every family like this. His ribs were not enough to share!

But he didn't expect that his mother would come back after a round. There was not a single missing piece of ribs on the plate.

You know, there are ten houses in this row! Ye Yuze heard that his mother had gone to all of them.

But after going to ten houses, he could bring back all the ribs. This requires considerable skills.

Dad looked at his mother speechlessly. "Why do you take it out if you don't even let them taste it?"

Mom raised her head. "This is made by my son. Why should I give it to them? If you are greedy, let their own son make it!"

Ye Yuze lowered his head and gnawed on the ribs without looking away. This is his real mother.

Ye Yufan didn't even notice what his mother and father were discussing. The ribs are really delicious.

When it was dark, Ye Yuze quietly walked out the door. His younger brother wanted to follow him out. He was driven back by Ye Yuze.

After waiting at the door for a while, Yang Geyong came over. He led Ye Yuze to the back mountain.

The houses of the company are all built on the hillside. So, the more than ten houses are higher in a row.

The highest point of the company is the stable. There are no cars in the company, only two horse-drawn carriages and a tractor.

The wheels of the carriage are not rubber. Instead, they are the old wooden wheels with a steel plate wrapped around them.

As for why rubber wheels are not used, Ye Yuze doesn't know anyway.

During the new book period, everyone is welcome to collect and recommend.
