Reborn 1990's Fat Wife Should Be Self-Reliant

Chapter 30

Zhou Huilan wanted to ask again, but Granny Duan shook her head, pulled Yaoyao, and teased the little duck who was still walking unsteadily.

Just listen to other people's affairs, and Zhou Huilan didn't plan to meddle too much.

It's only been two days, Granny Duan's walking has almost returned to normal, Lu Changqing also said it was miraculous, Zhou Huilan figured it should be the effect of soaking the beans in the ancient well water.

Although the well water can't be taken out, the food can also be used to produce effect. Now the land in this courtyard has been tidied up, but she still has some seeds left, which were originally intended to be planted in the space, but this can only be done at night .

Yaoyao was so focused on playing with ducklings that Zhou Huilan was not interested in asking her to go shopping, so Zhou Huilan went out by herself.

You can't use the big iron pot at home to sell soy milk. You have to buy a guy to hold it, and there are small bags for packaging.

The tricycle was not available either, but the alley of the Duan family was narrow, and she couldn't push the tricycle back after she bought it, so Zhou Huilan planned to borrow it from the Lu family first. When she came out, she asked Lu Fengxia, and her aunt readily agreed.

Zhou Huilan pedaled a tricycle and bought all these things step by step.

Originally, she planned to buy vegetable oil, but when she went to the grain and oil store to see the dirty oil barrel, she changed her mind. She went to the pork stall and bought ten catties of lard, planning to go home and make lard herself.

After shopping, she was not in a hurry to go home, but rode a tricycle to the end of Gulou West Street. Just now, she asked Aunt Fengxia about the nearby kindergarten. The nearest one was here, but it was said to be a kindergarten run by the district government. , I'm afraid it's not easy to get in if I join a shift.

Unlike the noise over the Drum Tower, it is just across a street. The street where the government kindergarten is located is neat and orderly. The two rows of small buildings are all government units. There are no messy vendors, and the street trees are better than others The streets are more well-groomed.

Zhou Huilan was very satisfied with this street. The smoky environment at the gate of the Kindergarten of the Meat Factory was incomparable to this place.

But the threshold for this kindergarten is really high. Zhou Huilan wanted to ask about the situation, but the guard didn't even come out of the reception room, and said to her through the window, "We don't recruit students from the society here!"

Zhou Huilan was not angry either, she walked around from the street to the end of the street, and already had an idea in her mind.

When I got home, I lit the firewood stove and filled a pot of water. Zhou Huilan sorted the things she bought into the kitchen and put them away. She fetched water and washed the pork suet inside and out, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and threw it into the Blanch it in hot water.

Granny Duan, whose legs and feet were almost recovered, followed into the kitchen, looking at the room that was quickly filled by Zhou Huilan, her face was full of worry.

"Hui Lan, live frugally, you have a child with you, you have to think about the child."

"Mother-in-law, I got divorced and divided the money. Besides, I will still earn money. You just enjoy life and don't worry about money." Zhou Huilan said, and took out a small bowl of salted soybeans from the cabinet. This is because she soaked the space. The useless beans are fried dry in a pot with salt, and they are not too dry. The mother-in-law and Yaoyao have bad teeth, so they just eat them as snacks.

Granny Duan was also from a wealthy family before, and suffered all kinds of hardships in the changing world. In the past two days, Zhou Huilan treated her better than her own mother, and she also treated her as her own daughter from the bottom of her heart. "Making money is making money, and thrift is Thrift, these two things don’t conflict.”

"Understood, mother-in-law, I bought these for setting up a stall tomorrow. Don't worry, you can start making money tomorrow."

Seeing Zhou Huilan's confident face, she has lost a lot of weight in the past two days, Granny Duan shook her head helplessly, her smile was full of indulgence, "Don't think about making money at first, it's not easy to do business."

"I know, thank you mother-in-law for the reminder." Zhou Huilan said while skimming off the foam from the pork with a large spoon.

Granny Duan was about to go out, but when she walked to the door, she turned her back, "Hui Lan, although we talked about a monthly rent of 20 yuan at the beginning, but now you take care of my old lady's food and drink. Not only can I not ask for rent, but I should also pay for your living expenses."

As he spoke, he directly stuffed a twisted silver bracelet into Zhou Huilan's hand.

"The old lady has no money, so you take this first. There are still two paintings in the house. Later, my mother-in-law sells them and I will give them back to you."

"No need!" Zhou Huilan hurriedly returned the bracelet to her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, you say that, you want to drive me away, you help me look after Yaoyao, and let me toss such a big yard, I should respect you , how dare you take your things."

"Take it!" Grandma Duan was still insisting.

"Mother-in-law, you don't need my rent, and I can't ask for your living expenses. We are destined, and I will respect you as my own mother in the future. You love me like a daughter. Let's never mention this money again, okay? "

Granny Duan's eyes turned red, she quickly turned her face away, and nodded in a panic.

Zhou Huilan stretched out her hands and gently hugged Granny Duan. She understood the loneliness of helplessness and hopelessness.

"Let's not talk about money, but I am an elder, and the rules of the ancestors have to be a gift to the younger generation. This bracelet is my dowry. If everything is gone, I will leave it. You take it and give it to Yaoyao in the future. It is not broken. inherited!"

The significance of these words is not limited to the silver bracelet.

Seeing Granny Duan's firm expression, Zhou Huilan obediently took the bracelet and put it on her wrist, "Don't tell me, this bracelet is really delicate."

"That's not true. Our Xu family ancestors were servants in the palace. I haven't seen any good things. If my father hadn't smoked opium, he would have given birth to a daughter like me and cut off the inheritance. Alas... I won't mention it."

Granny Duan waved her hands and left the kitchen.

The pork suet in the pot was about to boil, Zhou Huilan hurriedly took the meat out of the pot with a colander, cleaned the pot and added a ladle of water, added two sticks of firewood to the stove and turned the fire up, and then the pork suet was also Poured in.

The fire quickly boiled the water dry, and the lard came out.

Zhou Huilan hurriedly chopped a handful of ginger and garlic, and saw that the lard was almost boiled and put it into the pot to cook together. The aroma of the lard with seasoning immediately increased ten times.

Little pig nose Yaoyao ran over directly.

"Mom! What are you doing that is so delicious?"

Zhou Huilan used a strainer to fish out the lard residue and boiled ginger and garlic together, pinched a piece dipped in some sugar and handed it to Yaoyao, the little girl took a bite, her eyes immediately turned into crescent moons.

"Mom! I want more, this one is really delicious!"

"Wait a minute, there's still a little oil in this oily dregs, and you can eat it with your mother-in-law when mom boils it for a while." Then he took out the jar containing the oil, threw a few soybean peppers and a spoonful of salt, and then put the pig Oil went in.

One jar couldn't fit, so Zhou Huilan took out the newly bought lunch box and finished filling it, then poured the oil residue into the pot and continued to boil while pressing. When the oil was almost out, she took out the oil residue and sprinkled it with sugar , Let Yaoyao go away.

This method was learned by Zhou Huilan from the master chef when she was working in a Sichuan restaurant. The dishes in that Sichuan restaurant were very delicious, but because of the authentic ingredients and refused to follow the trend, it closed down after a short period of time.
