Chapter 175 Tomato Pimple Soup

175 Tomato Pimple Soup

As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around. For ordinary people, most of the problems in life are due to lack of money.

Wang Xiaofu and Lamei are going to open a shop in the city, they have a lot of things to do, press the gourd and float the ladle, there is no time to stop.Thanks to Chen Bin's enthusiastic help, he solved the biggest problems and opened the store as soon as possible.

After running back and forth for a month or so, I finally got everything ready. One day, Lamei said, "Sister, we will go to the city tomorrow. I'm afraid we won't be able to return later. Parents will leave it to you."

Lily knew that they would bring Aunt Wang to the city, which meant that the whole family would move away, and it was unlikely that they would return to the town in the future. She could only take care of the tofu shop and her mother's house, so she nodded and said, "I know, you guys Don't worry, go and work hard in the city, come back when you have time, and go to play with you when I have time."

Lamei nodded persistently: "That's right, Qingsong and I are both in the city, so you should go more often."

Lamei felt that her elder sister was not inferior to those young daughter-in-laws in the city at all, and it was a pity to spend all day in the town.

"Since we are leaving tomorrow, I will cook for you tonight. What do you want to eat?" There are three members of the Wang family, and cooking for them is very simple.

Lily was going to kill the chicken and cook the meat, but Lamei didn't care much about that, so she just said, "I want to eat pimple soup."

Lily was stunned, looked at the winter plums for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, make tomato pimple soup, and you can help me. Let me tell you, tomatoes are a good thing. I will plant them next year. You are also in the city to find out who's home I’m planting, buy some more, and I’ll teach you two tomato dishes later.”

Tomatoes are also the kind that are delicious no matter how they are made. They can be paired with countless kinds of vegetables. Song Haonian brought back more than 100 tomatoes with blue color, all of them are complete and plump. Take the jar and seal it in the cellar, and it has been stored for a month or two.

During the days when Lamei was with Lily, the family situation was not very good, and the two sisters often made pimple soup.Later, Lily racked her brains to find a way to make money, and now she has a good life of rice and meat.

After going to the city, I have all the refined rice and fine noodles I want to eat, but the pimple soup made by the eldest sister is so rare that Lamei is very reluctant to give up and makes such a request.

Lily opened the cellar to fetch four or five tomatoes, picked off the wilted stalks, and washed them carefully in the water.The recipe of tomato pimple soup is the same as that of ordinary pimple soup. She calls Lamei to take noodles, adds some water and mixes them into flocs.

Boil a pot of water, use a kitchen knife to make a cross on the top of the tomato, put it in a colander and roll it in the water for a while, watch the skin on the edge roll up, then take it out and immerse it in cold water.

In this way, the skin of the tomato can be easily torn off. Lily cuts the tomato into finely chopped cubes, takes the oil pan, sautées the shallots and ginger until fragrant, and pours the diced tomato into it without any other seasonings and stir fry.

Stir-fry for a while, add two tablespoons of salt and stir-fry again, the tomato will quickly produce sticky sand, and the sweet and sour aroma will permeate, making people's saliva drool.

Pour cold water into it, there is a sound of "stab", white steam is transpiring, a layer of red tomato juice floats in the pot, cover it until it boils, then pour in the mixed noodles and cook, beat two eggs and stir , While stirring the pimple soup, pour the egg liquid into it, let them float into egg flowers.

Sprinkle a handful of green onion when it comes out of the pot, and the aroma of tomato pimple soup is intoxicating.

The pimple soup alone was not enough, so Lily roasted a few sweet potatoes in the ashes from the stove.

The pimple soup is filled with the slightly sweet and sour taste of tomato, and the right amount of salt stimulates its unique sour aroma, combined with the mellow aroma of wheat, vying to soothe the tip of the tongue and restless belly.

Eat a bowl of pimple soup, the sweet potato is baked, split in half from the middle, the flesh is golden, and it is surprisingly sweet.

Lily smiled and said, "You guys are moving, but I didn't cook anything good for you to practice, only these rough foods."

Lamei said: "I like to eat this!"

The aroma of sweet potato and wheat is solid and simple, without any tricks. Lamei likes this kind of down-to-earth.

After the meal, a few people whispered some heartfelt words, and Lamei remembered Chen Bin's kindness again, and Lily said hurriedly: "Don't always trouble others just because you have helped someone once, that kind of favor has already been given to you." It’s clear, it’s because they are sensible and courteous that they are still willing to communicate now, but we can’t just rely on others’ courtesy.”

Lamei said: "When did I become a fool? Let me tell you, Mr. Chen's family is very warm to our family. We are always polite, but it makes people feel cold. Just treat us like acquaintances, we are also grateful." Illustrated."

Lily said again: "I sent a message to Yingchun, and told her to come see you off sometime, but I didn't come at the moment, I guess I don't have time, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Lamei said without raising her eyelids: "Father can't even invite her, let alone me? I don't have that much face to work for her to see me off."

Lily was both funny and helpless, pinching Lamei's face and said: "Don't talk like this in the future, let someone tear your mouth off."

"Let her do it, but don't let me say it?" Lamei is not afraid of her elder sister.

Lily laughed until her stomach ached, and said to Wang Xiaofu, "You don't care about her being so childish!"

Wang Xiaofu is very sweet and obedient: "Eldest sister teaches well, I have nothing to do with her."

Lily shook her head, looking at Song Haonian again, she also said "I think Lamei is very good", and couldn't help laughing: "Just get used to her!"

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Xiaofu had already hired two cars, a cart to carry household items, and a boxcar to take people and pile up odds and ends.

Aunt Wang was a widow in her early years, seeing that her family's land could not be kept, she simply handed it over to the clan.She is a widow and unemployed, and Wang Xiaofu is still young, so it should be the clan's responsibility, plus what happened to Jiao Tian, ​​even if she is no longer wanted to see her, Wang Xiaofu must be raised well.

Every year in the harvest of the public land in the Wang family, there must be Aunt Wang and Xiaofu. Aunt Wang never remarried, and she took care of her son to live a good life. After a few years, you can ignore everything and just focus on holding your grandson.

No land, no worries, Wang Xiaofu moved easily, he just locked the house and entrusted it to Lily, and staggered to the city with his wife, daughter-in-law and belongings.

Yingchun didn't come to send Lamei after all, Lamei didn't say that she couldn't stop looking around with glasses, but after all she didn't see anyone, she was a little depressed.

Lily persuaded her: "Your second sister works for someone else, unlike us, she can leave whenever she wants, and if she wants to come, I'm afraid the master won't let her out."

Lamei gritted her teeth and said, "Don't say good things for her, she just doesn't treat me like her own sister!"

After he finished speaking, he stomped his feet, got into the car and sat down by himself, and didn't speak in anger.

Lily had no choice but to say to Wang Xiaofu: "Look at her temper, change to someone with the same temper, wouldn't she be annoyed?"

Wang Xiaofu answered the words with a smile: "She is about to leave the eldest sister. She is unhappy in her heart. It's not good to keep it in her heart. Tell her to let it out so as not to hurt her body."

"In the future, you can persuade her more, don't make trouble with the guests who come to the door, and don't let others bully you."

Lily urged earnestly, watched the carriage go away, turned around and said to Song Haonian: "I am more verbose than my mother."

Song Haonian said with a smile: "Lamei grew up with us, so we are most reluctant to leave her."

"What did you tell Xiaofu?"

"I told him to settle down and prepare a gift to thank Big Brother Chen. Big Brother Chen didn't like our things and said that we must have our intentions." If they blindly take advantage of people, they will not be able to live today. As a human being, it is better to be more realistic.

Speaking of Chen Bin, Lily still can't see through this person, only seeing that he hasn't done anything to endanger her family so far. After thinking about it, she only thinks that this person is really a rare warm-hearted person.

It's just that sometimes he is too enthusiastic. A few days ago, he hired a top-notch singer. The singer had a girl, so he dressed up and gave it to Song Haonian.

Song Haonian was almost scared out of his wits by him, so he refused in embarrassment: "Brother Chen, I have a wife!"

Chen Bin also has a virtuous wife in his family, so he can't understand Song Haonian. He only thinks that he is afraid of his wife like a tiger and dare not enjoy the blessings of others.

Although Mrs. Li looks gentle and gentle, not like a country woman at all, but Chen Bin heard that she can beat people.

On the surface, Chen Bin is a silk merchant, but secretly works as a brocade guard. Although he is a martial artist and is skilled in bowing and horses, he admires scholars very much.

He loves gentle and pleasant beauties the most, and he has some complaints about the tigress in Song Haonian's family, and he doesn't quite understand why Song Haonian can ask Li to subdue him.

But I still wrote a report honestly, reporting what I found out every other month, and the tigress Li was naturally among them.

Sending a concubine failed, Chen Bin laughed at Song Haonian for a few days, but Song Haonian was very serious about this matter: "My daughter-in-law treats me with sincerity, and I only treat her with one heart. If my heart is divided into two halves , give half of it to others, half to her, and if she treats me wholeheartedly, it would be too outrageous."

Chen Bin refuted him: "A man is like a teapot, and a woman is like a teacup. You have seen a teapot paired with three or four teacups. A teapot is even more strange."

Song Haonian said: "Brother, a noble person like you is a teapot, and we country people are a rough porcelain bowl for eating, a pair is a pair."

Chen Bin looked at him and shook his head - just looking at Song Haonian's appearance and demeanor, he looked more noble than Chen Bin, how could he think that he was a countryman?
Neither of the two could convince the other, so they had no choice but to let the matter go without mentioning it, and continued to help Wang Xiaofu open a shop and rent a small yard for people to live in.

Here, Wang Xiaofu took his old mother and newlywed wife to the county town full of hope to seek a living. On the main road, there were ragged people staggering towards Qingliu Town.

This man doesn't look old, but he is dirty and messy, his eyes are shining fiercely like a wild dog, he is limping, and he can't help showing a distorted smile when he sees the place where the black tiles and white walls are hidden by the weeping willows from a distance .
