take a wife to support the family

Chapter 147 Bean Sprouts and Bean Soup Rice

After Song Xiuxiu's marriage ended, Baihe didn't want to go to Lao Song's house for a few days, she just wanted to live a happy life with Song Haonian.

Now she has to worry about her own sister's marriage, her parents refuse to let go of her marriage, Wang Xiaofu runs to Liushan Village every three days, either with food, or with needles and thread, which are not valuable things, and live at home But very useful.

Carpenter Li was already soft-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see Wang Xiaofu like this.But the old woman killed him and didn't allow him to nod, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Qingsong is now working in the county, and no one is in charge of Zhu's family. After a while, Zhu's family has been honest and reverted to old ways. Although she still doesn't dare to marry Lamei casually, she doesn't like small traders like Wang Xiaofu.

"San Niu's elder sister owns a tofu shop. If she wants to marry San Niu, she must open a shop on the main street of the town!"

Carpenter Li deliberately said, the big girl's shop is not Sanniu's, so what does it have to do with who Sanniu marries?I also want to talk about the incident at Guojiapo last time, the big girl Sanniu didn't ask her to take care of Sanniu's marriage, why is she worrying so much about it?
Before he could speak, Zhu Shizhao was asked to slap his back twice, so he swallowed back the words, went out and said to Wang Xiaofu, "Don't come back."

Such a good male doll, what a pity.

Wang Xiaofu was depressed, and put on a smile again: "I'll come back in two days, just tell me if uncle's house is missing anything, and I'll always bring it for you."

Wang Xiaofu had a bad time in Liushan Village, and the only consolation was that when he returned to the town, his mother told her, "It's just Lamei who asked you to go to her house for dinner tonight."

He became happy and felt that his efforts were not in vain.

La Meiben also asked Aunt Wang to go with her. Aunt Wang said that she still had to feed the pigs at home, so she couldn't leave, and the young people just went to eat.

Wang Xiaofu didn't wash his face until he was at home, when Lamei came again and brought Aunt Wang a bowl of stir-fried shredded pork with celery. He also called Wang Xiaofu: "The vegetables are all fried, and the rice is almost ready, hurry up."

Wang Xiaofu followed Lamei excitedly, "What food?"

It turned out that Lily planted some soybeans in the ground a few days ago, and the tips of the newly grown beans were extremely tender, and she picked them off to make soybean sprouts and soybean soup for rice.

Bean soup rice is actually broth and soybeans. The soybeans used to grind the soybean milk have been soaked overnight, some are separated out, the skins are rubbed off, and steamed on the steamer for [-] quarters of an hour. The soybeans become soft and sandy.

The soup that boiled the meat was filtered to remove the dross, and it became clear and bright.Put the steamed rake peas and a bowl of washed rice together into the soup and cook. After the pot is boiled, turn off the heat and keep the pot in a low boiling state.

Stir every once in a while to avoid sticking to the pot. Cook until the rice grains bloom and the soup thickens and tightens. Throw a handful of bean sprouts in and immediately remove from the heat to prevent the bean sprouts from wilting.

The remaining temperature at the bottom of the pot will slowly thicken the soup, and the bean sprouts will be cooked, retaining their fresh and juicy color.

Sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion at the end, taste it, and add more if the salt is not enough.Because the broth itself has salt, Lily puts the salt shaker on the table when she has enough salt, and those with heavy mouths can adjust it by themselves.

There is only one dish on the table - stir-fried shredded pork with celery, but the bean soup and rice itself is richer and more delicious than any other dish.The broth provides the most basic aroma, the thick bean aroma hits the nose, and the bean grains are rusty, so you don’t need to chew, and the tongue is full of sweetness when you sip it.

The rice grains almost melt together with the beans, and they are extra chewy.The bean sprouts mixed in the bean soup rice are full of the breath of spring. After one bite, the whole body stretches, as if the whole spring has been eaten into the mouth.

Wang Xiaofu walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, and he was so tired that he felt that two bowls of bean soup and rice were not enough, so he asked for another bowl.

Lamei took his bowl and said: "You eat too fast, be careful, I'll scoop half a bowl for you, eat slowly."

Wang Xiaofu showed a happy smile, seeing Song Haonian having a burst of coke, and whispered to Lily: "I'm not married yet, it looks like an old married couple."

Lily wanted to hold back her laughter, and wanted to pinch Song Haonian to keep him from talking, lest the girl turn around and feel embarrassed, Song Haonian shut up, put a piece of lean meat into Lily's bowl with chopsticks: "Eat more, I see you getting fatter Some would be better."

These days, Lily obviously feels that her arms are rounded, they are no longer as sticky as before, and they are not as fat as before. Instead, the lines look better.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't dare to get fat anymore. If you get fatter, others will say that you married a delicious fat woman."

Song Haonian didn't care: "I'm happy to feed my wife, no matter what they say."

Wang Xiaofu didn't even notice: "Brother Da Nian, I haven't married a wife yet, so don't keep showing off in front of me. Be careful, I'll be jealous one day, and I'll argue with you."

Song Haonian laughed loudly: "If you are capable, you should marry a wife right now!"

Wang Xiaofu was taken aback for a moment, and said honestly: "No matter how capable I am, it's hard to make Uncle and Aunt Li let go now. Originally, I saw that Uncle Li has loosened a bit in the past two days. I don't know why today. Tell me, call me I won't go there again."

He was extremely clever in his daily life, but he was extremely cautious and honest when it came to marrying a wife. It was aggrieved to say it, which made people feel distressed.

"Why else? It must be my sister or mother's idea." Lamei came over carrying Wang Xiaofu's rice bowl, and put half of the rice on the table. Seeing that he likes Dou Jianer very much, she specially picked out a bowl of rice. took two chopsticks in the bowl.

She didn't call her a mother either, and when she wanted to talk about it, she only said she was Lily's mother, and Baihe couldn't laugh or cry, "Mother doesn't dare to give you a family now."

Lamei lowered her eyes: "It is said that money is attractive to the eyes, and her eyes are particularly fascinating. Now she doesn't dare, but in a few days, do you think she dares?"

Lily was startled, and quickly reassured the girl: "Don't worry, when Dad comes to town, I'll tell him to go back and tell Mother not to talk nonsense about her."

"Do you believe her to listen to Dad's words?" If Carpenter Li's words are useful, can Mrs. Zhu do those stupid things?

Lily sighed: "I'll go back and tell her what I'm going to do. You, my mother is scared, but I don't know that she is also afraid of you."

How could Mrs. Zhu not be afraid that the little girl who had always been dumbfounded could run away from home if she got angry?When Lamei became violent, both Baihe and Yingchun had to back off three points, and Zhu's was the same, even though she was a mother, she was a little short of breath in front of this girl, and she should not dare to do anything about her marriage again in a year or so.

Wang Xiaofu also said: "Although Uncle Li said he won't ask me to go again, how could I not go? Don't worry, I won't ask them to promise you to someone else."

Lamei looked at Wang Xiaofu and said, "It's good if you have this kind of heart."

Seeing that the two of them were about to talk about themselves again, Song Haonian interrupted quickly: "The farming is busy now, so I have nothing to do, and I want to go out to sell goods again."

They are used to selling goods in the usual way, selling leather in winter, selling some mountain products, wild mushrooms, walnut flowers and so on in summer.

There is a kind of walnut in Qingliu Town. When the walnut blossoms are in bloom, Song Haonian collects fresh walnut flowers for a penny and three catties.The walnut flower looks a bit like a caterpillar, bright green, with green bumps on a thin stem.

Squeeze off the green pimples while they are fresh, leaving only the thin stems, and dry them in the sun. Four or five catties of fresh walnut flowers will only cost one catty of dried.

After it dries, it looks dark and inconspicuous, but it is very delicious when it is actually cooked, and most people in the city like it.

The walnut skin turns into a black color that is difficult to wash off, even if there are too many walnut blossoms. Thanks to Lily's gloves made of coarse cloth, Song Haonian's hands are still clean.

In addition to collecting walnut flowers, he also collects all kinds of edible wild mushrooms. When he collects enough for a carload, he will take them to the provincial capital and sell them, and he can also make some money.The most important thing is that when you go out during this season, you can see many new gadgets, such as corn seedlings, and bring them back to increase your income.

Liu Yi has no plans to go out recently, this is Song Haonian's own thoughts: "Brother said that he hasn't worked at home for several years, this year he wants to stay at home and spend time with Xing'er."

Baihe knew why, after giving birth to Xing'er, Li Caifeng had no news of her happy son for several years, both husband and wife were a little anxious, wanting to give birth to a brother for Xing'er so that she could have someone to rely on in the future.

Liu Yi didn't go out, and after Song Haonian told him, he planned to take a group of brothers out by himself, Wang Xiaofu was eager to try: "Brother Da Nian, I haven't gone out with you much before, will it be okay to take me this time?"

Song Haonian said: "Now the matter between you and Lamei is hanging in the air, what's the matter with you going out suddenly? According to me, you should settle the matter, and when you go out next time, you must be taken with you."

Wang Xiaofu originally thought that if he could go out and earn more money, the elders of the Li family would look at him with admiration, and he didn't know if he promised Lamei to him when he was happy.

Hearing Song Haonian's words, he knew that this was not feasible. In fact, he didn't earn much money when he went out. He had a widowed mother in his family. If he went out, how could he rest assured that Mrs. Wang was at home?
After much deliberation, it was better not to go out, "What you said is that you must take me with you next time."

He sells small things in the streets and alleys, but he can support his family. He is not necessarily worse than Song Haonian and the others who sell goods outside. After calculating the account, Wang Xiaofu calmly said: "Seeing something new, Come back and tell me."

Lily smiled and said: "I don't want another one. If you see some seeds that you haven't seen before, bring me some more, and I will thank you."

Song Haonian laughed loudly: "What are seeds? I can not only bring you seeds, but also buy you a golden hairpin!"

On the second day, Lily packed up the things that Song Haonian needed to bring when going out, she was used to this, as long as the preparations became more and more adequate, nothing would be missed, Song Haonian was very relieved.

There are still a few days before Song Haonian and the others set off, so Bai He doesn't go to the store very often, and spends most of her time at home preparing her husband's luggage.

Lily was sewing a pair of gloves that day, when someone said at the door: "Sister, are you at home?"

The voice sounded familiar, it was the second girl of the Li family welcoming the spring.It turned out that she had asked for leave from Liu's residence, and came to talk to her eldest sister angrily.
