Chapter 52 Vinegar Slips Yam

Two wood-shaped horses made of X-shaped horses, with a piece of log sawn in half as a workbench, after most of the day of hard work, a bamboo and wood door has been completed.

The appearance looks very rough, but it is not easy for Chen Xu. The only advantage of this door is that it is thick. The door frame is made of wood as thick as a rice bowl and made several round holes with a chisel, and then connected with hard wooden nails. The middle is filled with old bamboos as thick as an arm. After it is done, Chen Xu and Niu Dashi tried it. They kicked it up and didn't move at all, but their legs would be hurt by the recoil. It would be difficult to block it. The big wild boar is not sure, but there is no problem with small cat animals such as bobcats and leopards.

The old door was removed and the new door was replaced. The heavy feeling of opening and closing made Chen Xu's heart relax a lot.

There are still a few windows left, and you can complete it by working hard in the afternoon.

Then get the bed done tomorrow and the next two days, and the basic life will be fine. The rest of the toilet needs to be repaired, a pergola in front of the door and a stove must be built. This open-air cooking habit is very bad. Although it is to ensure safety and not light the house, once it is windy and rainy, there is no way to make a fire and cook, so you can only eat dry food when you are hungry. What to do if it snows in winter? What to do if it is cold and the fire is burning at home for heating? You have to build a fire pit in the room, but to remove the smoke, you have to build a chimney, but there are bricks to build a chimney, which is definitely not possible to use stones. Burning bricks requires a kiln, and a lot of wood or even coal is required...

The more I thought about missing something, the more I lacked, Chen Xu felt a little discouraged.

There are only ten years left before Qin Shihuang died of illness, and in ten years he must grow strong enough to protect the safety of himself and his family. When can he go out to make money in this poor mountain village? And how can he use to make money?

The last time the wild boar and the big snake did sell a lot of money, which was enough for a poor ordinary family to spend several years. But in Chen Xu's eyes, it was not called making money. Making money means at least creating a huge company with a steady stream of goods for sale, and a large group of people are working hard for their goals to gain a foothold in Daqin. Not to mention a word, at least no one dares to bully himself casually. Of course, except for Qin Shihuang and Qin, he is the largest in China now, and he will bully whoever he wants to bully.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as Chen Xu was stunned by the door, the young man in black who was rescued by him stood quietly beside him.

"Hey, can you walk?" Chen Xu came to his senses and was surprised to see the handsome young man.

"Well, your medicine is very good. After I drink it, I feel that my body is recovering quickly, but I still need to eat a lot of food to get better faster..."

Foodie! Chen Xu's face turned a little dark.

After this guy woke up in the morning, he ate a can of millet rice and half a can of soup made with minced meat. It was only noon and he was hungry again.

However, if you want to send this plague god of unknown origin away earlier, you should not be stingy. The blood almost drained, and you can get up after sleeping for a night. Such an awesome person cannot be offended casually.

So Chen Xu had to go and cook, and he felt so hungry that he was too hungry. Now he had rice and meat at home, so there was no problem with changing it to three meals a day.

Make the heat, cook the rice, cut another two pounds of meat, separate the fat and lean. After washing it, cut the fat and put it into small pieces into the clay pot for a few minutes. After the oil is stewed out, add wild garlic and ginger to stir-fry, then add half a can of water and boil it.

He was too lazy to get the wild vegetables, so he searched for a circle at home and found two yams. This was what he got when he was digging the medicinal materials a few days ago.

Chen Xu was struggling with two yams for a long time. Should he wash them clean and cut them into sections and put them in the broth and cook them or what should he do?

After half a month of traveling, I ate cooking every day and cooked all kinds of ingredients. Otherwise, I would like to change the taste and roast yam, but roasted yam will definitely not be eaten.

In fact, vinegar yam is very good, but unfortunately there is no vinegar now!

Vinegar, vinegar! How can I get vinegar?

Chen Xu racked his brains to think, and finally he suddenly stared at the palatial apricot tree in the middle of the small yard next to him. Among the branches and leaves swaying in the wind in the sun, green apricots swayed gently, and instantly felt a sour saliva appear on his mouth.

Although apricots are also a kind of fruit, they are not very popular because this thing is too sour, especially the apricots that have not been grafted and improved, which cannot be eaten at all. Unless they are fully mature, they will be able to sore teeth after taking a bite.

Chen Xu remembered that when he was a child, there was a tree in the village. Every time he finished eating, he couldn't even bite the steamed buns. Therefore, he never touched this kind of fruit when he grew up. Even if he came across it on the street, he would look at it with sour saliva for a few times before giving up.

I don’t know what level of dish is fried yam with green apricots, and will it reach or exceed the height of tomato-fried mooncakes in university cafeterias in later generations.

Seeing Chen Xu standing under the apricot tree with a bamboo pole and pounding it, the green apricots the size of a pigeon egg fell down, Niu Dashi couldn't help but say, "Brother Xu, the apricots are not ripe yet, what are you doing when you pound them down!"

"I'll know in a while!" Chen Xu threw down the bamboo pole and picked up seven or eight large ones from the ground, took out one and rubbed it on his body and ate it.

"Bah~" Chen Xu grinned and spitted it out. It was so sour, but he was very excited. At least it was so sour. The most important thing was that this acid was very pure and very original, without any pollution.

Wash a few green apricots, dig out the kernels with a dagger, and then put them in a pottery bowl and mash them into green mud.

Wash a yam and scrape it and slice it for later use.

There is no iron pot at home, so I can only take out a pottery basin the size of a rice bowl, wash it, put it on the stove and burn it.

After the temperature of the pottery pot is very high, add a spoonful of lard, then add chopped wild garlic and stir-fry slowly with a bamboo slice. After the garlic aroma is released, pour the yam tablets in.

In fact, the recipe for vinegar yam is very simple. Because it is stir-frying, the temperature of the oil pan is required to be relatively high, but the pottery basin is not good. Because the heat conduction is slow, the yam will drop instantly, and Chen Xu feels that the stir-frying turns into a hot dish.

Chen Xu had no choice but to stir-fry the yam with bamboo slices. As the oil temperature rose, the yam was slowly stir-fryed. After a few minutes, add green apricot paste and stir-fry for a few times before adding salt and putting it on the pot.

Looking at a bowl of yam that was fried into green paste, Chen Xu was amused and crying.

"Brother Xu, I'll try it!" Niu Dashi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but smell the smell, and grabbed a piece with his hands and put it in his mouth.
