Because the fire of hard wood is always very high and cannot be suppressed, for some dishes, it is very difficult to test the changes of increasing and decreasing temperature.

The texture of the dish will develop layers of texture as the temperature changes.

If it's always hot and simmering, to be honest, it's a bit like those assembly-line fast food dishes in hotels. No matter what the ingredients are, it will basically have the same taste when you eat it.

Not interesting!

Moreover, if it is fried fish or fried eggs, it would be even more nonsense if it is placed on such a hot fire!

So, two different kinds of firewood have their own advantages and disadvantages.

No matter which one it is, it does not rule out that the cooking pot needs to be cleaned after frying the previous dish.

In modern times, it is very simple to clean the pot, just pick it up and pour it into the sink, then rinse it under the faucet, and it is OK.

But that's not the case with this kind of firewood pot. It's embedded in the stove, so it's very laborious to pry it off.

Furthermore, the bottom of the pot that is being heated is red. Do you dare to pry it?

Therefore, when it comes to making firewood hot pot, it is best to find a helper for yourself. It is too laborious to do it alone.

It would be great to find someone to help you put firewood on the fire, hand over some onions, ginger, garlic, etc., and also make homemade noises!

So now, Zheng Xiaoqin plays this role, and Yang Ruoqing is very happy.

Yang Ruoqing took out two ribs, washed them with clean water, and prepared to chop them into finger-length pieces.

Zheng Xiaoqin was preparing firewood there. Since she was stuffing the firewood, she must have used pine hair and dead leaves and branches. There was no need to use hard firewood.

"Sister Qing'er, let me peel the garlic and grate the ginger for you."

"Okay, it's all in the basket behind you, take it."

Yang Ruoqing piled the chopped pork ribs into a large basin and scalded them with hot water to remove the foam before use.

Then, she turned around and fished out four large crucian carp from another bucket next to the tank.

"Xiao Qin, when the water in the pot boils, you can help me put down the ribs and scald them. I'll go to the well in the backyard to kill the fish, wash them and come back."

"Okay, Sister Qing'er, go ahead!"

Regarding the noon meal, Yang Ruoqing planned this, focusing on the children's food.

The two crucian carp made soup, and the dregs of the crucian carp were taken away for the cat to eat. Then, green cabbage leaves, poached eggs, tofu and shrimp were added to the crucian carp soup.

This dish is very delicious and nutritious, high in protein and calcium, and is very suitable for children.

Braised pork ribs are slightly spicy. When the time comes, put them in a casserole and simmer them. About ten minutes before taking them out of the pot, put a bowl of sweet potato flour balls in and cook them together.

Sweet potato flour dumplings are a special dish in this area. Some people make them not as dumplings, but in pieces and strips, which is called sweet potato flour dumplings.

Chopped green onions are usually added to the stews, while an appropriate amount of glutinous rice can be added to the dumplings. In short, you can make many kinds of delicious food with simple ingredients using your mouth. This is the wisdom of farmers.

Although they are not as rich in food as the wealthy aristocrats in the city, farmers still have the same fun as farmers, and they have raised generations of children.

This will leave a memory in the minds of the children, a memory of childhood and a memory of hometown.

And a taste that is engraved deep in the memory, that is the taste of mother!

"Sister Qing'er, don't cook too many dishes, just make two that can be eaten." Zheng Xiaoqin saw the ribs in the basin on the pot table, and Yang Ruoqing was holding crucian carp in her hand.

It seems that not only do we have to make crucian carp and tofu soup, but we also have to make braised crucian carp, which is too much...

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just concentrate on helping me stuff the firewood. Don't worry about other things!"

How to eat two random dishes? Not to mention that there are so many people in the family, even if there is only one Aunt Four, these dishes are not enough for Aunt Four.

Besides, since she invited people to eat at home, and the two little guys took the initiative to invite them, Yang Ruoqing had to cook a sumptuous meal, just to save face for her sons!

Yang Ruoqing quickly took care of the four crucian carp. Before leaving, she took a look at the small vegetable garden next to the well that was managed by her aunt Wang Cuilian. The vegetables in it were growing really well.

So Yang Ruoqing took the basket again, pinched two handfuls of green vegetables, chopped a cabbage, pulled out two large green radishes, washed them, peeled them, and then got up and returned to the kitchen.

At this time, in the kitchen, the ribs had been blanched. Zheng Xiaoqin picked up the ribs and put them in a basin for preparation, and then immersed herself in chopping ginger.

Half a bowl of ginger has been chopped, half a bowl of garlic has been cut, dried chili peppers, star anise, etc. are all ready.

Not only that, the water with bloody foam in the pot after blanching the ribs has also been scooped out, and the bottom of the pot has been wiped clean. Just looking at it makes people want to cook!

"Haha, you are really good at cooking now. I feel much more relaxed." Yang Ruoqing smiled, put the things in her hands aside, then rolled up her sleeves and came forward to prepare to start cooking the first dish...

It only took half an hour before a table of food was placed on the Eight Immortals table in the dining hall next door.

Because the weather is too cold, I usually eat next to the kitchen in the backyard and rarely go to the main room in the front yard.

At this time, Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong had also returned a long time ago. They had been busy with their own work the previous morning.

When I came back now, everyone came to the backyard dining hall together.

Tuan Yuanyuan held Jiang Lan's hand from left to right, three little guys with six short legs. They were walking majesticly.

Especially Yuanyuan, she said to Jiang Lan while walking: "Sister, you eat more, my mother's cooking is delicious!"

Not to be outdone, Tuantuan said, "I'll pick up some food for my sister. Don't be polite, sister."

Jiang Lan looked at the words of the two boys on the left and right, grinning happily.

"I won't be polite. My belly is so big that I can eat a cow!"

The conversation between the three children reached the ears of the adults behind them, and everyone laughed.

Blacksmith Luo said: "The two of us have listened to what you usually say at the dinner table when entertaining guests!"

Yang Huazhong also nodded and said with a smile: "The tone is the same!"

Everyone laughed and felt sorry for this little kid. Don’t think that they don’t understand anything. In fact, nothing escapes their eyes or ears.

Jiang Lan from before is the best example...

Ms. Liu looked at the three children in front of her with a smile, then tugged on Ms. Sun's sleeves excitedly and said, "Look at these three children, how good they are. Why don't we make a baby and kiss them!"

Mrs. Sun was really dumbfounded when she heard Mrs. Liu's suggestion.

"Fourth brother and sister, what are you talking about? Children are playing together, there is no need to make it so complicated!"

Even for the three siblings in the family, Sun and Yang Huazhong never thought of marrying them since they were young, because they did not want to limit their children's growth and choices in the future.

As for the flowers?
