Chapter 12 Oil Refining
Kou Xi took these things to her room, and Zhou Hong helped carry them into the kitchen.Walking around in her bedroom again, nodding and laughing again and again, she said, "Your house is really well cleaned up, it's bright and clean!"

"A new house, it must be repainted." Kou Xi pointed to the wall and said, "It's fashionable to paint half of the green wall now, but I don't like it very much. But I live alone, the glass is clean, and the house is clean. gone."

At this time, Huo Tianyi ran in and stretched out his little hand: "Ma'am, what delicious food did you bring me?"

Kou Xi touched Huo Tianyi's head, and said with a smile, "What delicious food did your mother cook for you tonight, and you'll be hungry again after a while."

Huo Tian twisted his body and said: "My mother also made pancakes and shredded potatoes, but there is no meatball soup!"

Kou Xi smiled and said, "My aunt wants to make lard, and steam the steamed buns at night. I'll make pimple soup tonight. If you come over to eat, I'll bring you a bowl too."

Zhou Hong said worriedly: "What time is it, and you are still steaming steamed buns. It's too late for Lao Fatty to make noodles!"

Kou Xi winked at her: "When I was making old vinegar today, I asked Brother Zhou for a little yeast. Just a pinch is enough. When I clean up the house and the house, I will save my commute from get off work in the future." heart."

Zhou Hong stared and said in a low voice, "Why don't you even give me a piece of fat?"

Kou Xi winked at Zhou Hong, and said softly: "If you don't bother me, don't bother him. Since I have the ability to start a new stove, how much can I spend on this oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?"

After seeing off Zhou Hong, Li Cuilian stood in the yard and taunted eccentrically: "It's different for people with wages. It's really rich to pack large and small parcels in your own room!"

Kou Xi walked slowly into the house through the gate, and heard her mother-in-law say this.There was a trace of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "Mom also said that I am exhausted from working all day. I have to cook a fire and eat it myself when I come home at night. If there is no rice or flour, you will not give me any food." I can't buy it myself."

"When did I say I won't give it to you?" Li Cuilian's face changed: "Didn't I give you two bowls of white noodles yesterday? If you make pimple soup, you can eat it for three to five days. It's strange that you insist on pancakes because of your greed." Who!"

"Pfft..." Kou Xi laughed, imitating Li Cuilian's tone of yin and yang: "After two bowls of noodles for three to five days, you really know how to live. I have to learn from you, tsk tsk tsk, you are so amazing! "

After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Cuilian, went back to the house and closed the door to cook.

Kou Xi made dough in a washbasin and put it on the kang head in the back room.He took out the pork suet and cut it into small pieces, went out to the yard and brought back a bundle of reed firewood.Light the stove and start refining oil.

This time she bought a large piece of lard and refined it in a small jar at a time.Wait a few days before buying some cheap eggplants, radishes, cabbage, and potatoes, and these days will be prosperous.

Kou Xi made up her mind that she would not touch any of the vegetables in the vegetable garden at home.For one thing, the vegetable garden is low-lying and has been soaked by rain all summer, almost completely wiped out.Secondly, because she cannibalize people with a short mouth, she doesn't want Li Cuilian to find a reason to say that she is taking advantage.

The method of refining oil is very simple, the water in the pot is boiled dry.Pour the pork suet cut into small pieces into the pot, and control the fire under the stove not to be too hot.The suet melts slowly, and wait until the lard turns into small frying oil.Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a small bowl aside.The lard in the pot was filtered out to clean the oil residue, and spooned spoonful by spoonful into the low jar.

Huo Tianyi's nose has always been sharp, and he has been observing Kou Xi's side.Smelling the fragrance through the window, he ran in again with short legs.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?" He stood at the door of the kitchen, staring innocently at a pair of mung bean-sized eyes.

"It's cooking lard. After a while, I'll give you the oil shuttle." Kou Xi knew that Huo Tianyi would definitely come in to eat.It is no wonder that the current living conditions are not very high.The whole family lived on those few days, and Huo An's salary was subsidized every month before.Now that all the money is given to himself, there must be a lot of shortage there.It would be fine if Huo Lu was capable and engaged in business, but those couples are a couple who only know how to eat and drink and don't care about the future.Now that Huo Dagui is alive, there is still hope for the couple, but in the future it is really uncertain.

Kou Xi had no children in her previous life, so the grievances with the Huo family can't be bothered with a little kid.

"Okay!" Kou Xi looked at Huo Tianyi's greedy little cat, and his heart softened like something.

He took out an empty bowl and poured a little sugar into it.He grabbed a handful of oil shuttles and put them in, and took Huo Tianyi's hand into his room.

While bouncing around, Huo Tianyi told Kou Xi what he was watching in "Fantastic Baby" at home this morning.

Kou Xi smiled and turned on the radio and tuned to a program, which happened to be broadcasting "Little Trumpet".

Huo Tian washed his hands in a regular manner, put his slippers on the kang and sat down at the kang table.A pair of small ears are pricked up to listen to the story, and here I am grabbing the oil shuttle and dipping it in white sugar to eat in small bites.

Seeing that he was obedient, Kou Xi was satisfied and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Put away the oil shuttle in the small basin and put it on the cupboard and fasten it with a cover.Burned half a pot of soup and made two bowls of pimple soup.After tidying up the stove, he returned to the house with two bowls of pimple soup.Drink one bowl for yourself, and give Huo Tianyi another bowl.

Hearing that there was no movement here, Gao Liman reckoned that Kou Xi had also finished cooking.Holding his daughter and twisting his big buttocks, he pushed the door in and saw Huo Tian holding a small mouthful of pimple soup.With a smile on his face, he said, "Are you eating at Madam's place again? What a greedy little cat!"

After speaking, he smiled at Kou Xi: "This afternoon, I will follow your example of fried shredded potatoes and rolled pancakes. This child insists that it is not as delicious as yours, and I don't know what you put in sister-in-law."

"No meatballs!" Huo Tian raised his head to grab the words, and Gao Liman stared: "Eat your meal! A bowl of pimple soup can't stop your mouth!"

After training her son, Gao Liman couldn't help looking around the room with her eyes.Kou Xi pretended not to know what she was looking at, and asked with a half-smile: "What are you thinking?"

"Ah!" Gao Liman came back to his senses, and said resentfully: "I thought it was time to go to school in two days and one night, and I couldn't always listen to the radio at home. Such a big child, it's easy to play with things and lose one's mind!"

Eating other people's food, listening to radio programs at other people's homes.And to blame the family for teaching bad children, Gao Liman really doesn't know what's good or bad.

When Huo Tian heard that he was going to school, he frowned and dropped his chopsticks, crying: "I don't go to school, I don't go to school!"

Gao Liman stared at the side: "Where can I not go to school? I must go to school! When school starts in September, I will send it to you."

"Don't talk, I can't even hear the small speakers!" Huo Tianyi pushed his mother, and the radio announced that "this is the end of today's program. Goodbye, children!" '.

With a sound of "Wow", Huo Tianyi raised his head and opened his mouth wide to cry.
