Chapter 128: Life is Poor but Beautiful

In the evening, they cooked in a big iron pot in the vermicelli shop. The village elders brought their treasured goodies from home, including eggs, pickled wild boar meat that they had not finished eating last time, flour bought in town, and fresh vegetables.

Several capable women took charge of the kitchen, and Su Ying only had to talk and didn't have to do anything at all.

The children wanted to add fuel to the stove fire and get some food, but were chased away by the women.

The whole village is full of joy, even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

It is really much easier to cook in an iron pot than in a clay pot. It transfers heat quickly and the food cooks quickly. A large iron pot can be used together to make a large pot.

It is very suitable for a large family of country people. The women are very tempted and want to

I am planning to buy an iron pot for my home when I have more money.

Under Su Ying's command, the women went from being unfamiliar to being proficient in just a few minutes.

The rolled balls are thrown into the oil pan, and they soon float up, then turn into golden balls, exuding fragrance.

Sauerkraut stewed with meat, the sauerkraut is put into the pan with oil, the sauerkraut with oil is so fragrant that it makes people drool, and the vermicelli that I made for a long time is put into the pan, and finally I can taste the flavor of meat and vermicelli.

There are also scrambled eggs, eggs in a frying pan, my god! I have never smelled anything so delicious in my life!

After adding the rice, stir-fry continuously and sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions when serving. Even Mrs. Zheng, who is not a greedy person, couldn't help but gulp it down.

Everyone around heard it, and Madam Zheng laughed.

Yang Chunhua's face also turned red unconsciously.

The ladies laughed and joked that each other was a greedy cat.

After a busy period, I made a large pot of egg fried rice, a large pot of vegetarian meatballs, a large pot of pork stewed with sauerkraut and vermicelli, and a large pot of braised konjac.

Not much tea oil was used. First, the meatballs were fried, and then the meat, sauerkraut and vermicelli stew, braised konjac and egg fried rice were stir-fried. Even so, there was still a large bowl of oil left from making the meatballs.

Each family received a bowl of egg fried rice, a bowl of stewed vermicelli, a bowl of konjac, and vegetarian meatballs divided among the number of people.

Because we use tea oil and cook in an iron pan, the aroma is simply deadly!

Thirty-two families lined up to receive the vermicelli from the factory. Every family got a share, not much, but everyone enjoyed it.

Everyone has a sense of belonging and collective honor. After working so hard for so long, how can we not be happy and excited when a little bit of reward comes?

Several carpenters were given an extra vegetarian meatball as a reward as they had been working the hardest these days.

"Okay, we've divided it up!" Su Ying said with a smile as the several large basins on the stove were empty.

"There is a lot of oil and water in this basin. Wash it with water and cook porridge with it. It will be delicious!" Yang Chunhua scooped a ladle of hot water and rinsed each basin one by one.

"Sister, you are such a life!" Su Ying smiled helplessly and did not stop her.

Looking at the oily soup at the bottom of the basin, not to mention Yang Chunhua, even Su Ying, who had not eaten oily meat for a long time, felt greedy and was reluctant to pour it out.

The rinsed oil and soup were poured into bowls, the basins were stacked up, and the women came out carrying the basins.

The villagers outside the house did not disperse, but looked at Su Ying quietly with their bowls in hand.

"What's the matter?" Su Ying was puzzled, thinking that everyone thought it was too little. "We don't have much oil this time, so we can only make this much. We have to give some of the remaining oil to Hu Erlangjun so that he can recommend it to customers."

"Aying, thank you!" the villagers said in unison, bowed to Su Ying, their eyes a little moist.

"Thank you for being so polite. Go back and eat! The children have been looking forward to it all day. It won't taste good if it gets cold!" The villagers suddenly became sentimental, and Su Ying couldn't handle it anymore. They hurriedly chased them away. "Go back quickly! You can eat oil every day from now on!"

Su Ying did these things just to help out, her main purpose was to make her own life less difficult.

These were her true thoughts. She was not as noble and great as the villagers imagined, so she felt embarrassed to receive their gratitude.

"Sister!" The crowd dispersed, Xiaotao and Su Lu waited.

Su Zhaoyan and Su Biaoyan followed closely behind, not guarding the delicious food as usual.

"Zhao Yan, Bing Yan, why are you here too? Don't you want to eat fried rice? Don't you want to eat fried meatballs?" Su Ying teased.

"Yes, let's wait for sister to come back and eat together!" It's rare for the two little guys to be so sensible.

"Hey, why are our Zhaoyan and Bingyan so well-behaved today?" Su Ying touched the heads of her two cousins.

"Yes, we study and go to school. We are students, not naughty kids who know nothing!" Su Bangyan puffed out his chest, as if he was answering a teacher's question in class.

"Not bad! Students who have studied are different! Study hard, and I will make lots of delicious food for you in the future!" Su Ying encouraged.

"Really, sister!" Su Zhaoyan said happily.

"Of course! What does our Zhaoyan want to eat?" Su Ying asked.

"Well, braised pork!" After listening to Su Ying's introduction of the braised pork, Su Zhaoyan was so greedy that he even dreamed about it.

What does it taste like to be so plump and greasy that your mouth is filled with oil when you take a bite?

"Sister, I want to eat braised pork elbow!" Su Bangyan became even more excited.

The pieces of braised pork are too small, but the braised pork elbow is so delicious when you take a bite!

"Hahaha, okay, okay, let's raise pigs in the future, kill a big fat pig during the New Year, and make braised pork and braised pork elbow! We can eat enough at one time!" Su Ying is looking forward to that day!

The food has already been served at home. Now there is a bamboo dining table and a few small bamboo stools, so we don’t have to squat anywhere anymore.

There wasn't much meat or vegetables distributed in the village. Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei put some in everyone's bowl, and the old lady got a little more than the others.

Now that life is better, they have bought some food and eat dry rice. The old lady drinks a bowl of honey water every day.

The old lady held the bowl and ate the meaty food she hadn't tasted for a long time, and suddenly her nose felt sore.

It has only been a month since we came here, and the family has gone from having nothing to having something going their way. Although life is hard, it is gradually getting better.

It’s a pity for the brainless mother and daughter. If they could have endured it and not made a fuss, they could have eaten and drunk for free and enjoyed a delicious life now.

I wonder how the mother and daughter are doing with Hunter Feng?

Will he still be a troublemaker? Will Feng the Hunter beat him up?

He looked up at Su Laoer, who was passing the meatballs from his bowl to Su Zhaoyan. His eyes were full of love, without the dejection and loss of a widower.

The three brothers of the Su family are very busy now. Su Bucheng has been entrusted with an important task by the governor.

How Huanggou Village would implement the plan step by step, improve the wasteland soil and turn it into fertile soil, dig ponds to cultivate paddy fields, build lime kilns, and construct roads, each of which required him to carefully plan and organize manpower to implement.

The three brothers are full of fighting spirit. They discuss and improve plans and budget manpower every day.

Without the chatter of Xiao Qinshi and Su He, Su Laoer focused on doing practical things and had no time to think about whether the mother and daughter were living a good life.

In addition to their own homework every day, Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan also have to prepare lessons for the children, teach them and answer their questions, and they all go to the fields to work when labor is needed.

Every day is busy and fulfilling. Without the interference of their mother and sister, they don't have to be caught in the middle.

Life is simple but beautiful!
