Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 36

When Xiang Jin returned home, Aunt Liao had already returned and was helping them cook with Xiang Nan in the kitchen.

After Xiang Jin put the paper and pen she bought back into the room, she took the pork and vermicelli back to the kitchen. Aunt Liao saw it and said, "Oh, why did you buy so much meat? No, I've already cut the bacon."

"Bacon? Where's the bacon?" At the beginning, their bacon and a large bucket of rapeseed oil were locked in Mrs. Zhang's house, so there is no bacon in their house now, and even now they are the only ones left in the house. The small half pot of rapeseed oil was also brought here because it had been used in the kitchen at the beginning.

Xiang Nan sat in front of the stove and boiled the pot, and said, "Grandma and the others brought them here."

Xiang Jin was surprised, "Grandmas are here?"

Aunt Liao put a big rice dumpling on a large aluminum basin that had been cleaned, and replied, "Well, it's here, not only your grandma, but also your grandpa and second uncle. , they are all working in Huangyewan right now."

Xiang Nan then added, "Grandma and the others also carried us a large basket of rice and noodles, the noodles are so thick, there are three handfuls, there is also a basket of eggplants, cucumbers and wax gourds, and several large ones. Pimple vegetables."

The so-called pimples in their mouths are actually what people usually call lotus white.

Seeing her gestures, Xiang Jin felt strangely moved. Her grandparents and uncles really treated her mother as a daughter and sister.

Then Xiang Jin said, "Then I'll salt the meat and marinate it there, and then put it in the well to soak."

"This is fine," Aunt Liao continued to move her hands.

Then Xiang Jin asked Aunt Liao how many people were eating at home today, and how many craftsmen came. Aunt Liao told her how many people there were.

Xiang Jin knew it in his heart, and then cut the meat he bought into two equal parts.

When Aunt Liao saw her, she asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiang Jin said, "I reckon that with so many people eating, they still need to eat two catties of meat, so I divided it into two meals. I will cut it out first, and then pull it directly from the well. Come up and take a piece, cut it up and fry it, so as not to have to cut it up when you get the time."

Aunt Liao said, "How can you only eat two meals with so much meat? At least four meals, cut into four pieces."

Xiang Jin was speechless, "So many people only eat a catty of meat for a meal?"

Aunt Liao pretended to give her an annoyed look, "It's good to eat a catty of meat for a meal, like in our rural areas, it's not uncommon for ten days and a half months to go without meat. , that is to say, the life of a craftsman will be a little different than before.

In fact, there is no difference, that is, more oil is put in the dishes when cooking as a craftsman, so that the dishes will taste more fragrant, otherwise.Eating meat every day, how can there be such a family?

According to my aunt, divide the meat into five pieces, and then take it to the well to boil. "

"Oh!"

Xiang Jin was taught, and then divided the meat again.

Then Aunt Liao praised and said, "The meat you bought today is good. It has more fat and less lean meat. You will also buy it like this in the future. It will save oil and the fried vegetables will be delicious."

The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth twitched slightly. She really wanted to say, but she had no choice, because today there is only one pork shop in the town, and when she went there, there was only one pork belly She was afraid that there would be no more fat meat, so she hurriedly cut more than four catties.

But she still remembered Aunt Liao's words, that is to cut more fat in the future to save some oil.

Pork in this era is the best. For pure local pork, there is no need to add oil when frying the pork. Cut it into slices and put it in the pan and fry it directly. After a while, it will melt into a pit of oil and water.

Unlike in the future, the pork we eat will be feed pigs, and we must add extra oil when frying the pork, otherwise it will easily stick to the pan, and the pork is relatively heavy in moisture, and it will crackle during the frying process Splash everywhere.

If one is not careful, the person who cooks will easily burn his hands and face by the splashing hot oil, which is really dangerous.

But this time the meat will not be like that.

For lunch, Aunt Liao cooked dried pumpkin rice, and fried eggplant with bacon, and then made a soup with the rice soup and a few handfuls of fungus wrapped around the two big cypress trees in front of the house.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and then said that they were going to work again. Xiang Jin felt that these people can really endure hardships and stand hard work, and that money is really hard to earn in this era, so he hurried back to the house Go and get a Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid for each of them.

The stonemasons were very surprised. After taking the Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, someone said, "Oh, you really have a heart?"

Craftsmen like them, regardless of winter, summer, and summer, rarely meet such a warm-hearted master. After all, they are earning money, not helping others. How could the master be so kind to prepare this for you? Prepare for that, they are eager to let you charge less for your wages.

Yang Juyun was also surprised, she didn't tell Xiang Jin to buy these before, but she didn't expect that she would be so considerate. At this time, Yang Juyun felt that her eldest daughter was more and more capable.

Xiang Jin said, "The sun is bright, so it's better to take precautions."

However, Mason Sun said, "But it's okay, there is a slope not far away, we shoveled out a piece of land in the morning, if it is too hot, we can hide under the shade of a tree for a while.

But little girl, you also bought Huoxiangzhengqi liquid, so there is no problem at all. "

Xiang Jin nodded, and everyone was about to go out to work, then Aunt Liao brought them a few bottles of boiled water that she had prepared before, and then stuffed them with her own half-pack of tea, saying yes Drink tea in the sun to quench your thirst.

Xiang Jin and the others felt hot in their hearts, but they didn't refuse, and at the same time they kept this feeling in their hearts.

After packing up the pots and pans, Xiang Jin and Aunt Liao then refined the lard suet she bought in the town this morning.

There was nothing else to do afterwards, Aunt Liao went back to the house for a lunch break, and Xiang Jin asked Xiang Nan to do her homework, while she hid in the room and drew.

Now there is special drawing paper, so she has to copy down the house structure diagram drawn in the homework book in enlarged size.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Liao knocked on the door suddenly and called her, "Xiang Jin, Xiang Jin?"

"Oh, auntie, what's the matter?" Xiang Jin put down his pen, then got up and went to the door and opened it.

Aunt Liao said, "I saw a handful of lumpy vegetable seedlings placed under the water tank in the kitchen. What's the matter, are you going to plant them?"

Xiang Jin slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized, "Yeah, I'm going to fall, see how I forgot about it?"

Aunt Liao asked, "Where are you going to plant it? I'll plant it for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "Yesterday, I vacated a piece of land in the flooded area to make a garden, and there is still a piece left to be planted. My mother said to plant some carrots in two days. I think we should use it to grow pimples first."

Aunt Liao nodded, "Okay, then I'll plant it for you."

Xiang Jin pulled her back, "Auntie, don't worry, let me tell you, I bought a lot of seedlings, and the old man who bought the nursery said there were as many as a hundred plants, and our family can't plant that much. If there are many, you can share half of them to plant.”

Aunt Liao disagreed, "Hey, how can it work? You still have to use craftsmen. I won't grow vegetables because they are used too much. You can grow them yourself."

Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, our family doesn't have that much vegetable garden. If you don't plant it, I'll plant the rest by then, or just throw it away. What a pity?"

Aunt Liao frowned and thought about it, "That's right, okay, then I will plant. If you don't have enough vegetables, you can go directly to my field to chop."

Xiang Jin grinned, "Yes!"

Afterwards, Xiang Jin greeted Xiang Nan and told her to stay at home and guard the house, while she and Aunt Liao went to plant vegetable seedlings in the field with a hoe and a bucket.

After arriving in the field, Aunt Liao dug a hole, and Xiang Jin separated the vegetable seedlings one by one and threw them in the hole, and then Aunt Liao squatted down to teach her how to plant them.

"Hey, that's it, first bury these seedlings with soil, and then wrinkle your hands in so hard, the roots of these seedlings will be fixed, and then you won't be afraid of the wind and rain. gone."

Xiang Jin nodded and followed what Aunt Liao taught her to do.

Then Aunt Liao said, "Yes, that's it."

Xiang Jin raised his head, a relaxed and pleasant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and this scene happened to be caught by Yan Chen who came back from the town with a casual glance.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, he only felt that the smile on her face was extremely dazzling.

When I saw her smile in the past, it was always polite with alienation, alienation with indifference, not real at all.

But that smile just now was extremely rare, but it was a lot more sincere, and it could be seen that she was indeed in a good mood!
