The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 10 Fried pork with fungus is also very fragrant
Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, it rains lightly, and the weather is still colder now, Zhao Yunlan counts the time, Li Mingren should be back soon.

The second and third younger brothers visited Li Mingren the day they came back, and said they would be back in two days.In the past few days, the second and third children have also been encouraged by Li Mingmei to teach Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingmei how to read. Now that Zhao Yunlan can't, she will ask Li Mingmei to ask Li Mingmei, and Li Mingmei will ask the second and third brothers, and then spread the word again. After returning, the Li family suddenly set off a learning atmosphere.

During this period of time, Zhao Yunlan was cooking, thinking of ways to change the dishes for the big guys, and the Li family liked eating Zhao Yunlan's cooking more and more.

On the day the second and third child came back from working part-time, Zhao Yunlan took the last piece of meat and cooked carrots to eat. Everyone praised Zhao Yunlan's cooking, and the original owner's cooking skills were very ordinary.In modern times, Zhao Yunlan's own cooking tastes okay, of course, when the seasoning is complete, and the delicious food here may be because she is willing to put more oil than the rest of the Li family.

Mrs. Wang came out of the house: "Lan Niang, the boss has been back in the past two days, you go to the entrance of the village to buy a catty of pork from your Uncle Li's house."

Li Ershu is called Li Shitou, and he is a relative who has graduated from Wufu. According to Li's seniority, Zhao Yunlan and the others should be called Ershu.

When he was young, Li Shitou followed the owner of a pork shop in the town to go to the countryside to catch pigs. Later, he found some ways and went back to the village to do it himself.Li Shitou has two sons, and now there are two pork stalls in the town, one of which is Li Shitou's eldest son.Li Shitou's second son followed Li Shitou to sell meat in the village, tending the family's fields. Li Shitou has always been considered a kind man, and the money for catching pigs has never been lowered. If you come to Li Shitou to buy meat, Li Shitou will take more.

Here, Zhao Yunlan has already arrived at the door of Li Shitou's house, looking at the green brick and tile house, not to mention envious, "Second Uncle Li, I'm here to buy a catty of meat."

The price of fatty pork here is 15 Wen per catty, pork belly is 12 Wen, and lean meat is 10 Wen.

Li Shitou: "The meat is almost sold out in the past two days. The new pork has not been harvested yet. Now there is some meat that weighs less than a catty. Let's see if it can be done."

Zhao Yunlan looked at the small pieces of meat on the meat board. There was very little fat, and most of them were small lumps of lean meat. Her eyes fell on a small piece of streaky meat. Zhao Yunlan said, "Second Uncle Li, weigh this piece of meat for me." Right," Zhao Yunlan pointed to the piece of pork belly, and Li Shitou weighed "it weighs half a catty."

Zhao Yunlan thought about the money given by the Wang family, the money for a catty of fat meat, weighed another piece of fat meat, and took a piece of lean meat to fight for half a catty. Li Shitou also knew the situation of the Li family these years, A village can't hide anything, remembering that Zhao Yunlan fell on the head before, looking at the meat that Zhao Yunlan took, all of them were calculated according to the price of lean meat.

Zhao Yunlan, "Second Uncle Li, how can this be done? My mother-in-law has paid enough for meat, so Uncle Li doesn't have to do this. When I go back, my mother-in-law will blame me again."

Li Shitou insisted that Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to spend only ten Wen in the end.On the way home, Zhao Yunlan was thinking about what to give in return to Uncle Li's house.

When Wang received the five cents returned by Zhao Yunlan, she glanced at the flesh and knew that Li Shitou was taking care of her family again. "Fourth, there are still a few winter bamboo shoots that I dug before at home, take them to your second uncle's house."

Zhao Yunlan heard that Wang's character was affirmed again, and only then did she know that there were winter bamboo shoots at home, which she hadn't noticed before.Zhao Yunlan knew that there were bamboos on the mountain, but she hadn’t seen anyone digging them in the past few days, and the winter bamboo shoots in her house were usually placed in an inconspicuous place. Zhao Yunlan didn’t know that there was such a thing at all. I know, those winter bamboo shoots have already gone into my stomach.

Zhao Yunlan watched Li Mingmei take out the winter bamboo shoots from that corner and walked out, thinking about whether she should go to the mountain to see and dig some bamboo shoots back, thinking about it, she planned to take action, Zhao Yunlan called Li Mingmei to go together, Xiaobao wanted to follow, Zhao Yunlan felt that the rainy mountain road was not easy to walk, so she coaxed Xiaobao to wait for her at home.

The two walked to the back mountain with their backpacks on their backs. Lijia Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and most of the bamboos were concentrated on one slope of the back mountain. Besides bamboo, there were other trees in the back mountain, and there were few bamboos on other mountains.

Li Mingmei said, "Sister-in-law, after the beginning of spring, it may be hard to find these winter bamboo shoots." Zhao Yunlan, "Well, let's go and have a look. If we can't find it, we can pick up shoes and firewood and go back. It's not a waste of time, but it's raining. The firewood has to be picked up to dry, and if there is no firewood, it will have to wait for a while to pull out the spring bamboo shoots.”

Li Mingmei recently followed Zhao Yunlan to read and marveled at Zhao Yunlan's speed of reading, so she was very convinced by Zhao Yunlan. Basically, Li Mingmei was the first to support what Zhao Yunlan said.

The two walked to the bamboo forest one after the other, looking for the winter bamboo shoots on the left and the right, and sure enough, the bamboo shoots had grown a lot taller, and they couldn't eat them.After searching for almost half an hour, I saw that two bamboo shoots were not considered old. Zhao Yunlan thought that they could still be found. The two sisters-in-law walked around for another hour, found six bamboo shoots, and finally looked at the eight bamboo shoots in the basket. Zhao Yun Lan smiled contentedly.

Zhao Yunlan followed Li Mingmei out of the bamboo forest. The two were going to pick up firewood and go down the mountain. While picking up firewood, they suddenly looked up and saw that there seemed to be small fungus on the tree over there, a very small one.Zhao Yunlan was very happy, and hurried over to pick it, Li Mingmei also ran over, "Sister-in-law, it's fungus, take it back and cook radishes to eat."

Zhao Yunlan only thought about the fungus slices at the moment, looked helplessly at Li Mingmei, and turned to pick the fungus.This piece of fungus has been picked, and Zhao Yunlan is very happy to see that there is almost half of the basket.Not planning to look for other fungus anymore, the two headed home with their baskets on their backs.

Back at Li's house, the two took out the things, the fungus, Zhao Yunlan took it to the kitchen and washed it, and put the winter bamboo shoots aside temporarily.Li Mingmei wanted to see how Zhao Yunlan made the fungus.

Zhao Yunlan thought that if Li Mingren didn't come back today, then the meat should be eaten as soon as it should be eaten, otherwise the fried meat with fungus would be okay without meat.

Zhao Yunlan planned to use that piece of fat to cook oil. After all, she has taken over all the work in the kitchen now, so she decides what to do with the ingredients.After Zhao Yunlan's head fell, Mrs. Wang always felt that she had treated Zhao Yunlan badly, and didn't bother to ask about the kitchen.

Zhao Yunlan usually used fatty meat to fry in oil. This time, she bought pork belly. The fat meat was so thick that it could boil a small bowl of oil. Scooped a large part of the boiled oil and saved it, and then made a small half of pork belly for cooking Stir-fried pork belly can also be fried with some oil, so there is less oil left in the pan. Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingmei to help pick some green onions and peel some garlic. Zhao Yunlan still wanted to use ginger, but at this moment ginger is expensive. Basically, it is only available in pharmacies, and it is rare to sell ginger in vegetable markets.

There are some garlic and onions planted in the yard at home.Thinking of garlic, Zhao Yunlan thought of making fried pork with garlic sprouts. I can still eat garlic sprouts in the past two days, and I should be eating garlic moss after a while. These stir-fried pork are not bad.There is no chili, and I don’t know if there are people growing chili in other places in this era.

Li Mingmei helped clean up the garlic and shallots. Zhao Yunlan patted the garlic and stir-fried it with the meat. When the meat was almost cooked, she put the fungus in and stir-fried with some salt. drop it.A delicious piece of meat with black fungus came out of the pan. Li Mingmei thought it was very fragrant, and Zhao Yunlan thought it would be better if it had bean chili sauce.

Zhao Yunlan then used the freshly boiled fat residue to cook radish soup. The green vegetables haven't come out these days, so the only thing at home is radish and cabbage.It is said that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer, Zhao Yunlan still prefers to drink this oily radish soup.

Today's staple food is cornmeal and brown rice steamed together, of course there are more cornmeal.I didn't see Li Mingren when the meal was almost ready. Before Li Mingren came back, he would come back as soon as possible. Now that dinner hasn't arrived yet, he probably won't come back today.

Li Mingren didn't give the second and third children a definite time before.The Li family looked at the fried meat with fungus on the table, thinking that this is not a waste of meat, but seeing Zhao Yunlan eat a piece first, and it smelled so delicious, everyone still couldn't resist the temptation of the meat. This plate of fried meat with fungus will be finished in a while.

The little ones in the family couldn't get enough of it, and even Xiao Bao wanted to eat it.Li Mingming helped Li Mingmei clean up the dishes, and the second and third went to fetch water to prepare hot water for washing at night.

Zhao Yunlan took Xiaobao to digest food in the yard, Zhao Yunlan thought, under the leadership of the Li family, boys and girls are treated equally, and they will help share the housework that should be done, except for Li Mingren's accident.
