Chapter 206 Tangning's Cooking Skills

Du Bailiang waved his hand and said, "What I care about is not this, but can this hillside really grow food?"

Tangning looked like an idiot, "My lord, what you said is really interesting! The barren land is land, but the land on the hillside is not land? Why can the barren land produce grain but not the slope land? It's not like the slope land can't be watered and fertilized !"

Master Chen stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense! My lord, I think Miss Tang's words are very reasonable!"

Du Bailiang rolled his eyes at him, "You're just talking nonsense! Can I know it makes sense?"

"Yes yes yes" Master Chen didn't dare to say anything more.

Tangning laughed inwardly, and said, "Little girl knows that adults care about the common people, but growing food on the hillside is not a big deal. In the northwest of our hometown, the land is barren and desolate. Many families grow food on the nearby hillside. Vegetables or beans, don’t you get the same harvest!”

"Why don't you plant on flat ground?" Master Chen asked for help humbly.

Tangning curled her lips and explained, "Because the land is vast and the population is scarce! There are land everywhere, but there are not many people. No matter whether it is flat land or slope land, they are equally barren. It takes a lot of manpower and resources to level the land. There is no need, sow the seeds where they can be planted, and the grain will be sparse, so just harvest it whole.”

The corners of Master Chen's mouth twitched when he heard that, he must be out of his mind to ask such substandard questions.

"It seems that we have to wait and see for the harvest on this slope." Du Bailiang rubbed his chin and pondered. With the answer in his heart, he stopped staring at the terraced fields and asked about the soy sauce.

Tangning promptly fetched several bowls, opened the cellar in the thatched shed, and said, "I put all the brewed soy sauce in and marked it, there are heavy salted ones, some light salted ones, some are colored and some are lightly salted. It's heavy, adults will know it after tasting it."

Du Bailiang and Mr. Chen really tasted it one by one, starting with light salt, Du Bailiang only took a sip and his eyes lit up, "This is good, this is fragrant and not salty, it must be delicious to cook!"

Master Chen nodded in agreement.

It was Du Bailiang's turn to think about it carefully for a while before he said: "This is not bad, a little bit can make the food taste good for the poor, it's easy."

Tangning smiled, took out a little of each kind of soy sauce, and said to Du Bailiang, "If the magistrate is kind enough, I'll have dinner in the village at noon. I'll use these soy sauces to make a table for you."

"Okay!" Du Bailiang readily agreed without thinking about it.

When they came down from the top of the mountain, they still took a few more glances at the terraced fields. Not to mention, Wang Hu and his group are really good at doing things, but after half a day, they have already planted one side of the terraced fields. According to this progress, it will take another day or so. All terraces can be planted with food.

Tangning was overjoyed, and immediately yelled at them, "I'll go back and cook. I'll call you guys later. If you want something to eat, you can talk."

"Anything is fine! Brothers are not picky eaters!" Wang Hu also shouted.

"Okay! I got it!" Tangning smiled and walked into the village.

Du Bailiang and the others followed her, a little envious of their peaceful life.

Master Chen couldn't help sighing: "If everyone can live this kind of life, there won't be so many troubles."

Tangning walked ahead and said without looking back, "How is that possible! We have gone through thousands of hardships to get to where we are today, the others."

Tang Ning didn't continue, but Du Bailiang and the others understood that they knew exactly what happened to the Tang family.

The group returned to the house. Tangning left them to rest in the lobby, and went to work in the backyard by herself. The fish she brought back yesterday was a whole basket, and now there are still a few left. There are also some river prawns, and a small pot of tenacious rice field eels. .

These eels were just brought back yesterday, and they smelled like mud, so they were not made into dishes, and they should be almost ready to kill after raising them overnight.

In addition to these, there are water celery picked by the river, which is tender and tender, and it must be delicious when fried on a large plate.

In addition, kill a few chickens and ducks, and steam a pot of rough noodle steamed buns.

It's not bad for a farm family to have such food.

In order for Du Bailiang and the others to taste the deliciousness of soy sauce, she steamed the fish and shrimps and braised them in soy sauce. The rice field eels were also braised with soy sauce, watered celery, some onions, ginger and garlic, added with soy sauce, poured over hot oil, served in a pot The cold water celery is out of the pan.

All the chicken and duck are made into stewed meat, and another old duck soup is cooked, and some wild tiger tail rounds picked by Du Chunyue are added, which is called some fragrance.

Before the meal was finished, the entire house was full of aromas. The group was so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs after going up and down the mountain. In order to save the last face, Du Bailiang walked out of the house with great interest and started to wander in the stockade.

I have to say that after more than a year of construction, Fenggu Village has undergone great changes. In the past, there were overgrown weeds, tall trees scattered and crossed, and snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere. Now the big trees in the sky are completely gone, and the weeds have all been cleaned up. , This large open space is either a house or cultivated land, there are paths paved with stones, and there are specially planted flowers and plants.

The surrounding mountains and forests have been densified, especially the weeds, which have obviously been cleaned up. The new growths are all tender seedlings, and it seems that a lot of herbal seeds have been sprinkled. Du Bailiang can only recognize some, but he dare not go deeper. up.

Master Chen said with a chuckle: "My lord, they are quite good at taking advantage of it, and they don't waste a bit of it!"

The mountain forest in front of the stockade was planted with herbs, the wasteland was reclaimed, and the sunny slope of the back mountain was also turned into a field. Pigs, chickens and ducks were raised on the shady side, and the hills farther away were rectified by Tang Ning and used to make soy sauce .

Du Bailiang was quite satisfied, "It's great that they can do their best to make life easier. I'm afraid that eating too much and being lazy will cause trouble for us!"

Ever since he took the post of magistrate of Anhong County, he was really scared.

Master Chen's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The group wandered around and returned to the house again. Tangning had already prepared the meals. Obviously, she didn't just cook the food for them. She probably also cooked a lot and put it in the house next door.

As soon as Du Bailiang and the others were seated, Tangning went out to invite Tang Junsheng and the others to have dinner.

Inside the room, Du Bailiang unceremoniously picked up a chopstick of steamed fish, the smell immediately made his eyes shine, and hurriedly greeted Master Chen, "You have a taste too!"

Mr. Chen and the others started to eat immediately. Not to mention, the steamed fish did not have any fishy smell, and the umami taste of the fish was completely stimulated. The steamed fish, which is thick and tough, is completely different.

"How did you do it?" Du Baijia looked at Tangning curiously, and then explained, "Miss Tang, I'm just curious. There's no other reason. You can be a master chef with this skill."
