Chapter 1490: Rapeseed Flower Ham Soup

~7 min read 1,354 words

The ham and rapeseed flower soup that Seven-Biao Ye talked about was actually quite simple to make.

Early in the morning, go to the river beach to slaughter a fat, plump hen that still had strength, and a young rooster that was even stronger and raised last winter. Scald the hair and clean them up. The hen is used for soup, and the rooster is kept for later use.

While the soup was simmering, he wasn't idle: "Qiao Qiao, go to the mountain and dig a few nests of potatoes, potato-braised chicken at noon, and stick a few pancakes—stick white flour pancakes or small crispy pancakes?"

"Crispy pancakes, crispy pancakes!" Zhang Yanping was eating breakfast and responded immediately: "Before, the pancakes were all white flour and yellow flour pancakes, this time let's eat a crispy one!"

Qiao Qiao was a bit hesitant: "The potatoes haven't grown up yet..."

These potatoes were planted in February. The temperature was low in the early stage, and the growth was slow. Now they could be eaten, but the real harvest would be in June or July. This was a month or two early, and the potatoes were probably pitifully small.

"It's fine." Song Tan urged him: "Go dig them, we planted a lot this year, we can't finish them."

Last year, they were obsessed with maximizing sales to make money no matter what they planted. Qiao Qiao probably had a deep impression. Therefore, whether it was picking rapeseed flowers in early spring or digging potatoes now, he felt quite distressed.

Seven-Biao Ye said "Mm." He was old and thought everything Qiao Qiao did was good, so he said: "Cherishing material and food is a good thing, our Qiao Qiao is so good!"

Song Tan:... She was his own sister, what could she say?

And Yang Zhengxin happily followed, also bringing livestream equipment. In the cool morning breeze, the sound of the two laughing and joking came:

"Come! I'll give a preview, let's open a potato blind box later."

"The potatoes are so small..."

"Sigh, anyway, you aren't selling them and they can't eat them, yesterday's giveaway watermelon was enough to make them happy... Are we giving away potatoes today?"

"... They haven't grown up yet..."

"What are you afraid of! You can say the prize will be sent in two months!"

Lu Chuan opened the livestream room familiarly and asked curiously: "Are you going to blanch the rapeseed flowers in chicken soup at noon?"

Speaking of this, Seven-Biao Ye was quite dissatisfied: No matter how frozen the rapeseed flowers were, they didn't have the freshness of those just picked. He thought for a while and simply asked Song Tan: "Or... you find time to go to the rapeseed field and slowly pick a basin back?"

Song Tan:...

She looked at Lu Chuan, who slowly shook his head: "I have to work in the morning... it will end around 9:30 to 10:00, is it too late?"

He exercised at home early every morning, and after breakfast, he went back to the homestay to help Lu Jing. He would start work around 8:00. He was self-disciplined, and although the time might vary slightly, the process was always the same and basically wouldn't be interrupted.

Everyone knew this.

Song Tan didn't have the patience to do this kind of meticulous work—their local rapeseed flowers bloomed in March and April, and now it was May, basically they had all withered. Going to the rapeseed field to find survivors now, and they had to be tender rapeseed flowers...

If it was just a plate, that would be fine, but their family ate vegetables by the basin.

So she decisively picked up her phone: "I'll call Yang Zhengxin."

Young boys were full of energy, they shouldn't mind going to the rapeseed field to play.

Looking at the livestream room again, the preview title had changed—

【Good morning, workers! Let's open a potato blind box together!】

Song Tan couldn't help but "pfft" and laugh: Young children, sure enough, are very energetic in everything they do!

8:00 was indeed the time when working cattle and horses had woken up.

At this moment, the livestream opened, and the number of viewers surged quickly, much better than at 4:00 yesterday afternoon. Qiao Qiao and Yang Zhengxin bypassed the heavy partitions in front and arrived at a flat rapeseed flower field. Now there were no brilliant rapeseed flowers here, but large pieces of green rapeseed pods.

【??? Isn't it a potato blind box?】

【I know this question! Potatoes and rapeseed are interplanted, right?】

【This can also be interplanted? This is so dense, where does the sunlight for the potatoes come from?】

Yang Zhengxin quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we have to pick some rapeseed flowers before going to dig potatoes..."

He turned the camera around in all directions: "It's just that the rapeseed flowers that are still tender now are too hard to find. Delaying for half a day will reduce the probability—if you want to wait for the potato blind box, it will probably be an hour later, we'll go dig potatoes after picking this basket."

He said, and held up the basket in his hand.

Livestream: 【...】

【May? This rapeseed field? Picking rapeseed flowers? This basket?】

【Good guy, the buffs are stacked! Look at how many small yellow flowers are in this green field of yours?】

【It's right to eat more spring vegetables in spring, but it's out of season now.】

Yang Zhengxin read out some questions, and Qiao Qiao smiled embarrassedly: "Seven-Biao Ye said to stew ham and rapeseed flower soup at noon. The frozen ones aren't fresh enough, so we were asked to find some."

He gestured: "The fat hen is used for soup, the chicken meat is taken out to make pepper-numbing chicken cubes as a snack, and then the ham slices are boiled in the chicken soup—just before it's out of the pot, blanch the rapeseed flowers in it, it's very fresh and delicious!"

Many workers who hadn't had time to eat breakfast:

【I know.】

【Eat if you want to eat, why describe it?】

【This is killing me!】

【Streamer, is this why you started the livestream so early? To turn me into a glutton?】

【I'm fasting but didn't have time to eat breakfast, I can only drink a cup of black coffee outside the company and continue to be a cow and horse... Have you thought about my feelings?】

Not to mention the livestream, even Yang Zhengxin quietly swallowed his saliva.

He came late, and clearly didn't eat the rapeseed flowers in the spring wave, now he could only imagine it.

That...

"Hen stewed soup, small rooster braised and stuck with small crispy pancakes?"

"Mm!" Qiao Qiao nodded: "The small crispy pancakes made by Seven-Biao Ye are delicious, as big as a palm, I can eat ten in one meal!"

He clearly had learned it, but the heat wasn't enough. At this moment, he didn't forget to teach the children, clearly thinking they could learn it.

"Put the crispy oil into the dough and knead it repeatedly, and sprinkle sesame seeds—the sesame seeds in our house are so fragrant! After the pot is hot, the crispy oil and the dough expand, take a bite, the outside is crispy and falls into dregs, and the inside is still tender..."

Yang Zhengxin: "... Gulp."

Looking at the livestream again, the screen was full of blood and tears, what a June flying snow!

Yang Zhengxin hadn't entered the workplace yet, but he was a 5G surfing player. He knew all the famous worker memes on the internet, and at this moment, he couldn't bear it.

He quickly changed the subject: "Or let's pick rapeseed flowers. This takes time, if it's really not enough, let's use the frozen ones?"

Qiao Qiao shook his head: "Still try hard to find them, the taste of the frozen ones is a bit different, suitable for cold mixing with millet pepper and sesame oil after blanching, it's so refreshing!"

"But this texture isn't suitable for ham soup."

Yang Zhengxin:... He didn't dare to look at the chat. ===== CHAPTER 1491 =====
