Chapter 90
Yan Kexing: "It's also possible that it spent a year on the pasture and left behind even better offspring."
Shi Wen, "I don't know."
The two shared a tomato and prepared to cook dinner.
Shi Wen looked at the remaining half-basket of tomatoes and said, "How about we make some scrambled eggs with tomatoes? It's been so long since I've had scrambled eggs with tomatoes, I'm craving it."
Yan Kexing: "Okay, should I use chicken eggs or goose eggs to fry it?"
Shi Wen uncertainly, "Would goose eggs work too? Wouldn't the flavor be too strong?"
Goose eggs have a much stronger flavor than chicken eggs; it's not that they taste fishy, but rather that they have a unique goose egg flavor.
Shi Wen feel that no matter what dish you make with goose eggs, it's difficult to achieve a harmonious flavor.
After all, when one dish stands out too much, the rest can only be considered side dishes.
Yan Kexing said, "It's alright, the tomatoes are very flavorful today."
Shi Wen wasn't very familiar with cooking. "Whatever you say, if you say it's okay, then it's okay."
Yan Kexing then said, "Get two goose eggs and beat them; I'll use them to fry later."
Shi Wen Yan Kexing washed his hands and prepared to cut other side dishes.
The two of them were cooking side by side in the kitchen.
Shi Wen specially found a large soup bowl, cracked the goose eggs Yan Kexing it, added salt and a little oyster sauce, then handed the bowl to him and told him to go to the side to break up the goose eggs.
Today, besides scrambled eggs with tomatoes, I also have stir-fried snow peas and sizzling chicken.
The aroma of sizzling chicken wafted out from the kitchen doors and windows, making the little ones unable to sit still and all squatting outside the kitchen to wait.
We'll stir-fry the snow peas later; let's fry the goose eggs first.
Shi Wen it was the first time he had ever seen fried eggs used to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. "This is the first time I've ever seen fried eggs used to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Yan Kexing: "Tomato and egg stir-fry made with fried eggs will result in fluffier egg pieces and a richer aroma. It will also absorb more sauce after cooking."
Heat oil in Yan Kexing, then pour the egg mixture into the wok in batches.
The egg mixture quickly formed fluffy clumps in the pan, and the aroma of the fried egg wafted out.
Even though Shi Wen had just eaten half a tomato, he couldn't resist the smell again.
Yan Kexing the first piece of egg mixture out of the oil and placed it on a plate. Then, he picked up a piece with his chopsticks and gave it to Shi Wen: "Try it and see if it's salty enough."
Shi Wen blew on it and then put the goose egg piece into his mouth.
In an instant, the rich and fragrant flavor spread in my mouth, with the aroma of egg liquid, the aroma of fat, and the taste of salt. Even without taking any further steps, Shi Wen it made the egg pieces seem delicious enough.
He nodded repeatedly as he ate, "So fragrant, so delicious! The aroma of the oil perfectly brings out the flavor of the egg mixture. You double-fried it, so there's not too much oil inside. It's fragrant without being greasy at all."
Yan Kexing: "We can stir-fry it with the tomatoes later, no need to adjust it anymore?"
Shi Wen, "Absolutely not, it's really delicious enough."
Shi Wen feeding Yan Kexing a piece of food.
He was about to say something more when he suddenly heard two loud swallowing sounds.
The dogs squatting outside the kitchen were drooling, and An Wa and Wolf King were the ones who had just swallowed their saliva.
I couldn't help but chuckle Shi Wen.
They always prepare a portion of their meals for the dogs, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes and sizzling chicken.
Shi Wen packed the food and took extra pieces of cooked fish to serve them.
The dogs had been squatting outside the kitchen for ages, already thoroughly enjoying the delicious aroma.
Now that it's finally time to feed them, they're making whiny noises from their noses, and their paws are already kicking and stomping around.
As soon as the order to eat Shi Wen given, they could no longer resist and immediately ran forward to their bowls and began to eat heartily.
Seeing how much they were eating, Shi Wen couldn't help but Shi Wen to herself, "Only their dogs are this easy to take care of."
After feeding the dog, Shi Wen went back to the dining room, washed her hands, and ate with Yan Kexing.
He first picked up a piece of tomato. The tomato had been cooked until soft, releasing abundant juice and tomato pulp. It tasted sweet, sour, fragrant, and soft, with a fantastic texture.
He picked up another piece of egg. The egg had soaked up all the tomato sauce, making it fragrant, sweet and sour, and soft—it was incredibly delicious.
Both are delicious on their own, but when combined, they create an effect greater than the sum of their parts—a truly perfect accompaniment to rice.
The tomatoes this year are so delicious!
Chapter 90
After the tomatoes at Shi Wen's house turned red, the tomatoes entered their peak fruiting period.
They can bring back a big basket of tomatoes every day when they go to pick vegetables.
With plenty of livestock, it's not like we can't consume them all.
I just can't bear to Shi Wen. Their tomatoes are so good, better than many fruits in the market. Sharing them with the kids is one thing, but how could I actually pick them to feed the cows and sheep?
So he kept the extra tomatoes at home to eat as fruit, and also made some tomato sauce and tomato paste.
His tomatoes are of high quality and taste delicious no matter how you cook them, especially the tomato broth made with tomato sauce and tomato paste, which is absolutely amazing for hot pot.
That day, Shi Wen went to check on the sheep flock in the morning.
The second-generation lambs in our family were born around February 13th, and they've been alive for almost two months now.
Through feeding, observation and comparison over this period of time, Shi Wen selected six male lambs with breeding potential from this batch of lambs. The remaining seventy-five male lambs are to be used for meat sheep breeding, so they need to be sterilized as soon as possible while they are still young.
Shi Wen they were planning to castrate them with rubber bands.
This method is similar to the rubber band tail removal technique, both of which block blood supply and allow the tail to detach naturally from where it needs to.
However, unlike tail docking, rubber band castration requires squeezing the lamb's testicles into the scrotum, and then binding the scrotum together with the spermatic cord to allow it to dry out and fall off.
