No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Ou Mengmeng hurriedly washed her hands and came over to take a look. Today's potato rice is a bit like Korean vegetable rice, which involves simmering eggplants, potatoes, etc. with rice, and pouring sauce on it before serving.

I learned this from watching Korean variety shows with my daughter, and then she was a little confused, why were there only a few people using such a big pot? You can also use onion skins, green onion roots, dried fish heads, and small anchovies to make soup stock. Is this delicious? However, my daughter likes to watch it, and she insists on trying it, saying that if a similar slow-motion pornographic film is copied in China, if she is invited to go, she will not be able to do anything. chances are for people who are prepared. She was so angry that she wanted to beat her!
Now I feel that it is very good and suitable for today's life. It is estimated that Bangzi's eating habits were developed to cope with difficult times. However, are there times when they are not in difficulty?

Use a rice spatula to break up the rice and potatoes. They covered the pot and continued to simmer. They made a sauce by themselves. Banggeng and Xiaodang enthusiastically reported the day's gains. They now feel that life is really fun.

When making sauces, Ou Mengmeng didn't dare to use too many seasonings, because salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame sauce and Erba sauce, which are popular among Beijing people, all require tickets. It should be said that in this era, everything requires votes, including cabbages and radishes stored in winter.

Anyway, Ou Mengmeng found her own wisdom and felt very confused about these various tickets. Therefore, she could only write down the number of bills in a notebook, write down the monthly quota for the whole family, and then distribute the money according to the amount.

Otherwise, how could she feel that Bangzi's eating habits had improved. Potato rice and eggplant rice are simple and cheap. Although the seasonings are expensive, they are still manageable.

While waiting for the rice in the small pot to bake slowly, I cracked an egg on the rice. She is pregnant now and has several kilograms of eggs a month. She doesn’t save them. She beats one a day, either to make soup or mix it with the rice. Pour the sauce over the rice.

After mixing like this, a kind of sauce aroma comes out all of a sudden. Bangge and Xiaodang laughed together. There was nothing she could do, she couldn't cook, so she could only live like this.

The food was the pickles they bought for free. After mixing the rice, the three of them returned to the kang in the east room and started eating.

While she was doing this, Ou Mengmeng was thinking about whether she should take Banggeng and the others to the vegetable market before Beifang could react. If there were any that didn't require tickets, they could buy some that could be dried into dried vegetables. There are also all kinds of radishes in the north, even green vegetables. She checked them out and dried them in the sun. It really benefited from the dry weather in the north. If they were in the south, they would have rotted long ago. In addition to being able to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins, she watched her old colleagues steam and dry them, and she was full after just two slices for dinner. It was a holy food for weight loss!
Although no one needs to lose weight now, the key is to be able to stock up on food! At least I can keep my stomach full. For example, if she is pregnant now, she will have tickets for refined grains and nutritional supplements in six months. She is currently in good health, the food at home is enough, and the salary is enough to spend. She also knows that saving money at this time is a fool, so she would rather take her children to the market to buy all kinds of edible things without tickets when she is free, and make a reserve. grain.

Of course, she also bought some stamps. As a time traveler, she couldn't afford anything else. If she didn't buy some stamps, her life would be in vain.

But as a teacher, it was impossible for her to give Banggeng a new stamp. So she also bought a stamp album and started collecting stamps with Bang Gang and Xiao Dang.

Thank you that at this time, everyone is just sending letters and not collecting stamps. But yes, in this day and age, who can collect stamps when their stomachs are not full. When she gets old stamps, she will teach Bang Gang and Xiao Dang how to remove the stamps from the envelope, how to save them, and tell Bang Gang and Xiao Dang the stories behind the stamps.

At this time, I was doing everything I could to send letters, and there were quite a lot of old envelopes. Every household had them. Banggeng and Xiaodang asked their familiar neighbors to ask if they could cut out the stamps from old letters.

There are many benefits to collecting stamps. First, you can learn a lot of cultural and historical knowledge; second, cleaning stamps is also a very patient job; third, it tests your character. If you miss one, it is like children playing with foreign paintings. Any missing piece will scratch your heart. At this time, there is a letter in the mailbox with the one they are missing, which is a test of people's hearts. Who collected stamps as a child and didn't steal a few letters?

Therefore, when Ou Mengmeng was a child, she practiced patience and perseverance like this. Of course, but she was embarrassed to ask people for old postage. They were all saving money to buy new postage.

Bangge actually went back to collect scrap metal and sell it for money, and bought a new stamp to complete a set. Although Ou Mengmeng felt that this was also a direction, she still told Banggeng that the new postal service was a waste. This was four cents. Because of stamp collecting, these four cents were wasted here. Moreover, each letter carries countless stories, and the postmark on the stamp represents countless expectations. So this is something that New Post does not have. Anyway, she is really professional at fooling children. Banggeng also thought that two cents could buy a popsicle. Xiaodang had been greedy for a long time, and he said he wanted to buy it for her, but in the end, Xiaodang gave up voluntarily in order to buy stamps. Now that I think about it, it is really a waste to save the new stamps without realizing their practical value.

Ou Mengmeng didn't dare to tell him that new stamps were more valuable. When she collected stamps when she was a child, Lao Jite always had postmarks on them. So now he is saving new ones, and what he will bring in the future will definitely not be comparable to a stick of popsicle. However, she didn't want to tell him this. She had saved a whole page of new mail and kept it carefully. It was money she saved for her children, but the children themselves had to enjoy the fun of pursuing it.

"Mom, don't we eat meat?" Xiaodang took a mouthful of rice and tried hard to swallow the rice with a lot of corn grits, which was a bit irritating to his throat. If it weren't for the mashed potatoes and eggs, the rice would be even harder to swallow. . But fortunately, it tastes pretty good and the kids really like it.

"The three of us have six taels of meat stamps every month. Six taels of meat is just right. We can discuss whether we should buy it once a month or three times." Ou Mengmeng also swallowed a mouthful of rice and discussed with her children.

The taste is okay, but the corn grits should be old grain and not very tasty. However, she has been doing pre-processing in the past few days. She first washes the grain, soaks it, and then dries it in the sun, then washes it again, and then dries it again. The water used for washing the grain is also used to splash the ground in front of her door. Wet. At least there is some nutrition in it. So now the taste of their old rice has been reduced to a minimum, and the rice is still pretty good-looking. This is an excellent food for weight loss. She looked at Banggeng. The boy who used to be fair and fat was now a little dark and thin. She couldn't help but sigh a little, it seemed impossible to eat like this!

"How much is one tael?" Banggeng asked hurriedly.

"50 grams, let's go to the butcher shop later." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly. She really wanted them to check this out. But to be honest, she didn't know how much a liang of meat was, but she seemed to remember watching a short video in Shanghai, saying that a liang of pure lean meat could be used to stir-fry a plate of shredded green pepper pork. So there should be a small plate, right?
"Then we can't eat meat?" Xiaodang hasn't eaten meat for a long time. I didn’t even eat the white flour buns.

I was with Jia Zhang before. Like the deaf old lady in the courtyard, Jia Zhang felt that no one in this courtyard could live a better life than her.

Whoever eats meat has to give the old lady a few pieces. As for the Jia and Zhang family, whoever makes good things, let them ask for it, and they won't take it away if they don't give it to them. When Sha Zhu brought back some meat, Mrs. Jia Zhang was chatting beside her, feeling that Sha Zhu was disrespectful and would not give her some meat. Sometimes, the lunch box would be taken away even before Si Zhu came in.

Qin Huairu didn't care before. Sometimes, she even waited at the door on purpose to pick up Silly Zhu's lunch box. For the sake of her children, she can put down her face, but Ou Mengmeng cannot. In addition to not being able to put down her own face, more importantly, what impact will this have on the children? She must never let her child become like Jia Zhang.

So after moving out, Ou Mengmeng took the children and lived within their means. As I just said, Xiaodang hadn't eaten real meat for a long time. Although she tried her best to make the food as delicious as possible, no matter how delicious it was, it had its limits. The food cooked in the cafeteria of their unit had a bit of oil in it.

"Mom can only give you meat within the prescribed range." Ou Mengmeng put down her chopsticks and looked at the two children calmly.

"Xiao Dang, there are eggs and rice in the rice now." Banggeng has grown up a lot now. His mother treats him as an adult. He really treats himself as an adult now. How can an adult be greedy for meat?
Mainly, he has seen in the past few days that his mother tried her best to cook their meals well. Although the white flour steamed buns were delicious before, he feels that their life is more interesting now. He couldn't explain why, but he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.

"Let's try to make the food more delicious in the future, okay? I think what I cook now seems to be much more delicious." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly.

"Okay." Xiaodang thought about it and took another bite of rice. "It's better than the previous steamed bun." (End of Chapter)
