The female supporting role in the book: she is entangled in the chronicles

Chapter 12 The Fear of Bacon

Shen Shujia glanced into the pot.

Good guy!
Three layers of steamed buns were steamed, and each layer was full. Is this enough to eat?

Shen Shujia asked unconsciously.

Li Zhenzhu didn't expect her sister-in-law to ask such a question, she was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't hold back a chuckle.

"Did you forget how much the men in the family can eat?"

That's all, she's afraid they won't have enough to eat.

Food is precious now, as long as you don't go hungry, after all, she has never seen food like the Shen family's.

In fact, when her mother-in-law asked her to do so much at first, she was also taken aback.

The mother-in-law said that the food at home was earned by these men, and they should not be allowed to work hungry.

Shen Shujia thought of Shen's father, two older brothers, and a younger brother at home.

How could she ignore the problem of a man's big appetite?

She also smiled embarrassedly.

After steaming the steamed buns, Li Zhenzhu was going out with a bamboo basket.

Shen Shujia also followed her out, and the two walked around to the back of the house. There was a vegetable field behind the house, in which were planted several kinds of vegetables such as radishes and cabbage, and there was even a field in the corner where sugar cane was planted.

"Jiajia, go pick three loofahs, and I'll pick some vegetables here."

After Li Zhenzhu finished speaking, she walked to a vegetable field and began to pick vegetables.

"it is good."

Shen Shujia took a glance, came to the loofah field, and chose three big loofahs from the loofah vine.

He came to Li Zhenzhu's side with a loofah, put the loofah into the basket, and then picked vegetables with Li Zhenzhu.

The vegetables were picked in 2 minutes, and Shen Shujia took the lead to pick up the basket and left.

Li Zhenzhu was smiling behind her, she knew that sister-in-law was taking care of her pregnant woman.

I can't help but feel lucky again. Before they got married, there were many girls in the village who married.

The mother-in-law grinds, and the sister-in-law orders.

There are also girls who have resisted, but it is often not enough to unite their family.

As a result, the following days were more difficult.

She was also terrified when she saw it, for fear that her parents would also choose such a family for herself.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to marry into the Shen family, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law treated her very well.

Shen Shujia didn't know that Li Zhenzhu was very moved because of her random action.

In her view, getting along with people is mutual, and only by sincerely giving can you get what you want.

She had just traveled through time, Shen's mother loved her like her own daughter, and Li Zhenzhu, the elder sister-in-law, also took good care of her.

Although these loves are only for the original owner, but now the beneficiary is her, isn't it?
The two went back to the yard, picked an old piece of Tongcai and threw it to the chickens.

There are five chickens in total in the family, and all five are still hens, and three of them are laying eggs.

Since there is no reform and opening up, farmers cannot raise poultry and livestock at will, and a family cannot exceed 5 at most.

Therefore, the five hens are all kept for laying eggs. If the hens have been raised for a long time and cannot lay eggs when they are old, they will be slaughtered to make soup, and the chicks will be caught again to raise.

Now that Li Zhenzhu is pregnant, the main source of nutrition every day is the eggs laid by these hens.

Li Zhenzhu also paid special attention to these hens, and went out to dig some wild vegetables to feed them from time to time.

After washing the vegetables and cutting the loofah into slices, Shen Shujia suggested to let herself cook the vegetables.

Li Zhenzhu took the initiative to light a fire in front of the stove.

Shen Shujia had already seen a few pieces of bacon hanging from the beams in the kitchen.

Bacon and sausages are her favorite. When she thinks of bacon, her mouth waters unconsciously.

She stood on tiptoe and took a strip of bacon out of it.

When Li Zhenzhu saw that she took the bacon, she was frightened, "Jiajia, it's not a festival now, so we don't need to fry the meat, right?"

I still remember when she was ten years old, once her brother wanted to eat meat and asked her to cut up the bacon at home.

She thought it was the younger brothers who wanted to eat, and when grandma found out, she wouldn't blame her.

Who knew that when she finished cooking, her parents and grandma came back from work to eat, and found that she had fried half of the leftover bacon at home.

Without further ado, grandma picked up the fire stick and beat her. She cried and explained that her younger brothers asked her to do it.

Unexpectedly, when the two younger brothers saw grandma getting so angry, they were too scared to admit it.

As a result, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to clean herself up!
Because the younger brothers refused to admit it, grandma said she had done something wrong, and framed the younger brothers, beating her even harder!

Now she still has the scar left by the wound on her calf.

The fear deep in my memory came out unconsciously.

Li Zhenzhu's voice trembled with fear.

At this time, Shen Shujia was so focused on the bacon that she didn't notice Li Zhenzhu's cautious expression.

"Sister-in-law, I'll cut a few slices and make a soup, so that everyone can have some meat flavor."

"Besides, my mother loves me the most. Even if I finish cutting up this piece of bacon, she won't scold me. I know that."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Li Zhenzhu moved her lips, but finally said nothing.

Shen Shujia took a knife and cut off a piece of bacon as long as a finger, and hung up the rest.

She fetched some hot water from the pan to wash the bacon and cut it into small slices.

Then, throw all the bacon into the pot and start to stir-fry. A strong salty aroma floats out of the pot and fills the whole kitchen.

Li Zhenzhu smelled the mouth-watering smell, and there was no joy on her face, but a look of preoccupation.

"It smells so good!" Shen Shujia exclaimed.

I saw that the bacon slices in the pot became crystal clear, and the fat in the fat meat was fried out.

She scooped up the meat slices, left a little oil in the bottom of the pan, and then threw the tong choy into the stir-fry.

Tongcai cooks quickly and can be served on a plate after a few flips.

Pour some water into the pot to wash it clean, then choke the loofah, pour water, and put in the bacon that has just been sautéed.

When the water boils, take an egg out of the crock pot, beat it into the soup and stir it into egg drops, and finally add some salt and chopped green onion.

Even today's dinner is ready.

Li Zhenzhu brought the Wowotou to the main room, and Shen Shujia put the bacon and loofah soup into the big iron basin, and also carried it to the main room.

Seeing the sister-in-law setting the bowl, Shen Shujia went back to bring the Tongcai.

Just at this time, Father Shen and Mother Shen came back with their three sons.

As soon as they entered the yard, they smelled a smell of meat.

"It smells so good, mother, did you ask the sister-in-law to fry the meat?"

Shen Haisu smiled excitedly, and couldn't help taking a breath of air after speaking.

Li Zhenzhu in the room also heard Shen Haisu's voice, and her body froze in place, unable to move.

Shen Shujia heard the voice, walked out of the house, and greeted Shen's father and mother with a smile: "Father and mother, you are back, the meal has just been prepared, come and eat."

"Today's dinner was made by my sister-in-law. I thought of your hard work, so I cut up some meat for everyone to taste. How about it? Is it delicious?"
