Chapter 382: Bought Too Much
Early the next morning, Lin Qingyan went to the modern vegetable market.
He squeezed in among a group of old men and women and bought a lot of ribs and pork. He even went to the poultry section and bought a few ducks. He originally wanted to buy meat at the supply and marketing cooperative.
But the supply and marketing cooperatives in 79 were nothing like the modern vegetable markets, and she couldn't buy everything she wanted.
Also, buying this meat would require a lot of meat coupons at the supply and marketing cooperative, but she didn't have many of them.
Lin Qingyan actually noticed that in modern times, whether it was pork, chicken or duck, the meat didn't taste good.
Especially the difference between chicken and duck meat is obvious. It does not have the fragrance of chicken and duck meat, and it tastes dry when chewed in the mouth. Sometimes it even feels like buying fake meat.
Especially compared with the chicken and duck in 79, the taste is not a little bit worse, but she plans to make braised meat today, which requires more meat.
You can only buy some from modern times, and the taste of the meat itself is not so obvious when it is braised with spices, and most people can't tell the difference in the quality of the meat.
After buying the meat, Lin Qingyan bought a lot of marinade ingredients at the vegetable market. She bought all kinds of marinade ingredients and even bought several large stainless steel basins, which she also equipped with lids.
Lin Qingyan stood in the space, looking at the vegetables she bought today and calculated the amount that could be used to make dishes. Then she changed the seasonings into transparent packaging and put some of the vegetables and fruits in the space into the bag.
When Liu Huizhen finished cooking breakfast and was about to call her to eat, she saw her daughter coming in from outside carrying a lot of bags.
Liu Huizhen looked at her daughter with a lot of bags in surprise.
"Qingyan, when did you go out? How come I didn't know?"
"Mom, I got up early today and went out early in the morning. Mom, come and help me. These are the vegetables I bought.
These are the dishes for today’s banquet. I am so tired carrying so many things. They are so heavy.”
Lin Qingyan exaggeratedly shouted that she was tired and gave some of the things in her hand to Liu Huizhen.
Liu Huizhen hurried forward to help, complaining:
"Why didn't you tell me when you were going out? Mommy will go with you, or you can let Qingxuan and the others go with you. Look how tired you are."
"Mom, I was lying to you. Hahaha, I'm not tired at all. Besides, Qingxuan is also very tired from accompanying you guys to set up the stall every day. Let them have a good rest now!"
Liu Huizhen glared at her before carrying the dishes that Lin Qingyan brought back into the kitchen. After a while, a cry of surprise came from the kitchen:
"Qingyan, why did you buy so much meat? Do you have enough meat coupons? Mom still has some."
As Liu Huizhen spoke, she took out a stack of bills from her pocket and handed it to Lin Qingyan.
"Mom, you don't need a ticket for this meat. Keep the ticket for yourself and use it next time you go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"You don't need a ticket? Did you buy yours from your friend?" Liu Huizhen asked in surprise.
Whenever Lin Qingyan couldn't find the source of something she bought, she would say she bought it from someone she knew.
When Liu Huizhen saw that he took so many things, she subconsciously thought that he had taken them from that friend again.
"Well, I bought it from a friend. Mom, keep one packet of the seasoning here and put the rest away for now."
Lin Qingyan pointed to a dozen packets of seasoning in a bag.
"What seasoning?"
Liu Huizhen looked at the transparent bags in front of her, which contained powdery substances.
"Mom, this is the seasoning for stewing meat. Let's stew some meat today. It just so happens that the teachers are coming over today.
Can we let them taste it? Teachers are good eaters. We can see if there is a market for this braised meat by looking at their preferences. "
The mother and daughter were chatting in the yard while sorting out the dishes that Lin Qingyan brought back. At this time, Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan also walked in from outside.
Liu Huizhen asked in surprise: "When did you guys go out?"
"Godmother, aren't the teachers coming over for dinner today? Wang Lanlan and I are going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat."
Ye Yi handed the meat in her hand to Liu Huizhen.
"You kids, why are you all running out so early in the morning? Qingyan just brought back a bunch of meat and vegetables.
You bought some more meat. The temperature is still relatively high. If you don’t finish the meat, it will go bad easily.” Liu Huizhen looked at the large piece of meat that was handed to her and felt a little worried.
"Mom, let's use the meat that Ye Yi and the others brought back when we cook. Make a braised pork, and use the rest with other dishes. Just add more meat to the ingredients and it will be almost done.
I made all the meat I bought into braised meat. Since we couldn't finish it, I asked the teachers to take some home.
If there is any left, we will send it to the photo studio for them to eat. Don't worry, the meat will not go bad and will be sold directly at a stall."
After hearing what Lin Qingyan said, Liu Huizhen was no longer so conflicted and looked at the ribs in the bag on the other side.
"How do you cook these spareribs? Braised or stewed?"
“Braised.”
"stew."
Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan said two different answers in unison, then looked at each other. Liu Huizhen was amused by them.
"Don't argue. Godmother will satisfy your wishes. We will use the ribs to make soup first, and then take out some ribs to braise.
So if you want to eat braised food, you can eat braised food. If you want to eat ribs in stew, you can eat them in stew. What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, godmother."
Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan quickly stepped forward to help tidy up, until Liu Huizhen saw the ducks and fell completely silent.
"Qingyan, what are you going to do with these ducks you bought?"
Lin Qingxuan, who rarely woke up naturally, just arrived at the front yard and heard what his mother said. He said directly:
"Mom, let's just make roast duck out of the duck. The roast duck that Brother Yizhou took us to eat last time was really delicious, but it was too expensive there."
Lin Qingxuan thought of the roast duck he had eaten at that time and couldn't help but reminisce about it.
Lin Qingyan was a little silent when she saw the duck. The moment she saw the duck, she wanted to buy it and make roast duck.
But after I bought it, I realized that I didn’t have any equipment to roast duck at home, and I couldn’t just roast the duck directly over the fire.
The most important thing is that these ducks were cleaned by someone at the market and are now ready to be cooked and served.
"We lack the equipment to make roast duck."
Lin Qingyan said something that disappointed her brother. She looked at Lin Qingxuan who was slightly disappointed.
"But I'll try to make you some duck sauce later."
"Sister, what is pickled duck?"
"I haven't done it either, let me try it later."
"Sister, is the marinated duck easy to make? If not, forget it. Braised duck is also delicious, or stewing the old duck is also delicious."
Lin Qingxuan was worried that it would be too troublesome, so he gave Lin Qingyan some advice.
Lin Qingyan smiled and touched his head, "Sister knows."
Liu Huizhen saw the interaction between the siblings and felt very proud. However, when she saw the pile of vegetables on the ground, she couldn't help but complain:
"There are so many things that we can't finish eating today, and we don't know if they will go bad tomorrow. Sigh, you kid,
I bought so much food without even considering whether I could finish it. Oh, it would be nice to have a refrigerator. When I have more money in the future, I will definitely buy one so I don’t have to worry about buying too much food. ”
Refrigerator? Lin Qingyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
