Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 77 Prickly Pears
Chen Yufei had an inconceivable surprise on his face, "Are we going to buy a car now?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "I don't know when you will be able to learn it. If you learn it earlier, we can buy a car earlier."

"How long will it take to get a driver's license?"

Jiang Ancheng recalled, "You paid the registration fee and learned the miscellaneous exam content. The exam can only be affiliated with the old driver's unit, and the number of places for the exam affiliated with the unit is small. If you have a relationship with someone, you will jump in the queue. After you finish the exam, it is estimated that you will have to wait two years. About a year."

In 1988, there were few cars. In addition to being able to drive, you also had to master some basic maintenance knowledge. If you failed the test, you had to continue the test and it would take longer to get your driver's license.

Chen Yufei was shocked, "It will take so long!"

"Well, otherwise, why do you think drivers are so popular, because it's not easy!"

Chen Yufei sighed, "Hey, then we won't be able to buy a car until two years later."

How much he thought that there is a big truck now, and he can take Hong Hong for a drive around.

Jiang Ancheng took out two dried mushrooms from the back sash, grabbed a dustpan of edamame and put them in his hands, "Don't worry, you study hard, and if you learn how to get your driver's license teach me, we can save a lot of money."

Now it is very easy to become a driving school instructor. As long as you pass the inspection, you will be issued an instructor certificate, allowing you to train students on your behalf.

The registration fee is three thousand, and Chen Yufei immediately promised: "I will definitely study hard!"

"Well, you go and cook the edamame. I'll wash the dried mushrooms and have dried rice with dried mushrooms for lunch today."

When Jiang Ancheng made fried rice with dried mushrooms last time, Chen Yunfei became greedy when he thought of it, and said happily, "Do you want to put some ham? I'll go buy a piece of ham!"

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "It's okay to buy a piece."

As soon as Chen Yufei was leaving, Teacher Wei called to him, "I have it at home, I'll get it for you."

There are many traditional delicacies in Huaguo, and ham is one of them. The ham produced in Yuncheng is the most famous. Among them, Xuanwei ham, Nuodeng ham, and Heqing ham are known as the three famous hams in Yuncheng.

The ham Mr. Wei took out was a whole piece, shaped like a pipa, big in size, small in bone, tight in texture, fat and thin.

Jiang Ancheng immediately asked, "Is this Nuodeng ham?"

People in Yuncheng are familiar with Nuodeng ham. Thanks to the local climate of Nuodeng, there is no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. The pork legs are made of small plateau black pigs, which are spring-pressed and hand-made with mineral salt from a thousand-year-old well. It has a salty taste. It is bland, and sliced ​​raw is also very good.

Teacher Wei smiled and said, "Yes, it's only been two years."

Many people think that the longer the ham tastes, the better it is, but it is not the case. Nuodeng hams that are more than three years old are firewood, and the best taste is two years old.

In the next few decades, Nuodeng ham will not only appear on food shows many times, but also because the popular actress Liu Yifei showed a scene in a TV series filmed in Yuncheng, which attracted everyone to go to Nuodeng to taste and buy it.

Jiang Ancheng said happily: "It looks good."

"Well, eat more." Teacher Wei put down the ham, and slipped a linen woven bag over.

Zeng Shuanglin poked inside curiously. Teacher Wei spread out the woven bag and teased him with two round and bright fruits like puffer fish, "Do you want to touch it?"

Zeng Shuanglin touched the fruit tentatively, touched the soft thorns on the fruit, and retracted with a swish.

Teacher Wei laughed and told him, "This is a prickly pear, the juice is delicious." Then asked him, "Would you like to drink it?"

Zeng Shuanglin nodded, "Yes."

"Hahaha, wait a minute, there will be sweet and sour prickly pear juice soon."

Chen Yufei boiled the edamame, leaned over to take a look, and squatted down to wash the dried mushrooms with Jiang Ancheng, "Where did the teacher get the prickly pear?"

Teacher Wei said with a smile: "I bought it for a penny and a catty, so I bought more."

Chen Yufei raised his head, "We have a lot of them in the mountains, I'll bring you some more next time."

Teacher Wei shook his head, "No need, you can't finish eating too much, and it's very troublesome to deal with."

Prickly pears are originally small, so even to squeeze the juice, you have to peel off the outer skin and dig out the inner flesh.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Prickly pears are really troublesome, and egg fruit is also delicious when made into juice. You can get some for the teacher and teacher's wife to try."

Chen Yufei nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, that stuff is easier to handle than prickly pears, and the vines behind my house can grow hundreds of them at a time."

The egg fruit is as round as an egg. After opening, it is full of tadpole-like fruit pieces. It is also called tadpole fruit by the villagers. In the next decade or so, it will have a nice name, passion fruit.

With its pleasant aroma and sour taste, passion fruit can be formulated into various delicious drinks, and has become the darling of major beverage stores, and its value has also risen rapidly.

But now, it is just a wild fruit that people in the village dislike, and occasionally pick a few as ingredients for cooking.

It is rarely seen even in the market.

While peeling the prickly pears, Teacher Wei happily said, "Just try a few, you don't need to make too many."

Teacher Wei peeled a large pot of prickly pears, removed the seeds, put them in a stone mash, and then used gauze to filter out a large bowl of prickly pear juice.

The concentrated prickly pear juice is too sour and a bit bitter. Teacher Wei sent Zeng Shuanglin to pick some mint under the corner of the yard. Mix the prickly pear juice with mint and honey water, and you're done with a refreshing drink.

Zeng Shuanglin took a big gulp, licked his mouth, and drank another whole glass.

He also wanted to drink a big cup, but was gently stopped by his teacher, "If you drink too much, you will have a stomachache, so drink slowly."

Zeng Shuanglin nodded obediently, took another glass of prickly pear mint honey juice and walked towards his brother.

Zeng Yilin took it and immediately handed it to Jiang Ancheng.

Jiang Ancheng shook the fried rice in the cauldron, and said with a smile, "You can drink it, I'll drink it after I fry the rice!"

Zeng Shuanglin had a slight wink, and ran to ask Teacher Wei for a cup again, brought it to Jiang Ancheng, and he could drink it as soon as Jiang Ancheng's fried rice was cooked.

How can such a sensible child not attract people's attention.

Holding the boiled edamame, Chen Yufei kneaded Zeng Shuanglin's head into a chicken coop with fried hair, "It's so cute, let's put it on the dining table, dinner is ready."

Zeng Shuanglin raised his small face and stroked his messy hair. Teacher Wei smiled and said, "Your hair has grown. I'll fix it for you and my brother in the afternoon."

"Thank you."

He said seriously, and the serious appearance of the little adult made everyone laugh again.

Dried mushroom fried rice is definitely the ceiling of Yuncheng fried rice, especially the dried mushroom fried rice with Nuodeng ham, the taste is even more fragrant.

The whole yard was filled with the overwhelming aroma of dried mushroom fried rice. Chen Yufei picked up the plate and was about to let go of his mouth and have a big fight.

Another Santana came outside the door. Before Jiang Ancheng stood up, Shao Xuebao opened the cab and walked in casually, "Hi, Brother Jiang, we meet again!"
