Lu Wensheng was sleeping soundly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he smelled the fragrance of food coming from outside.
I don’t know what happened in the space in the past few days, but Miss Snail suddenly came to her senses recently. At her strong request, Lu Wensheng must go into the space and work for an hour every day.
What should I do if I don't have time? I can save it and pay it back when I have time...
In order to pay off her debts, Lu Wensheng hoeed the fields the whole night last night, which resulted in her falling asleep as soon as she came back today. She swore that in the future, she would try to avoid entering the space and being bullied by others when she had nothing to do.
"Go and call your sister Lu to come for dinner. If she doesn't get up, tell her that the pickled pork with preserved vegetables we made today are gone if she gets up too late."
Shen Lingling was frying shortbread while instructing Ma Yingjie who was lighting the fire nearby. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Ma Yingjie was particularly obedient today. Not only was he sweet-mouthed and talkative, but he also did whatever she asked him to do.
Lu Hao: How can I not be obedient? If I don't, I won't have food to eat!
He was really tired of the days of begging for food in the village with a bowl in hand...
Who knew that when I lifted the door curtain, I ran into Lu Wensheng standing at the door. Before I could open my mouth to convey Shen Lingling's words, I heard Lu Wensheng teasing:
"Oh, what a good day today is! We can even eat pickled pork with preserved vegetables."
Shen Lingling was too embarrassed to say that she was doing this to reward her, so she said:
"Well, come and eat quickly, it's just out of the pot."
Looking at the pieces of cured fish with wine lees on the table, Lu Wensheng couldn't help but feel hungry. He hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and after a good night's sleep, he was even hungrier.
He didn't care about his image anymore. He washed his hands hastily, walked to the table, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
She has wanted to eat fermented fish for a long time, but she never tried to make it because it was too troublesome. After all, Lingling knows her best!
The so-called wine lees cured fish is a typical southern dish. First, cut the cured fish into small pieces, then wash and drain the water, and fry it in a pan until golden brown.
This step requires extremely strict control of the heat and oil temperature, otherwise the food will be burnt or undercooked.
Leave some oil in the pot, fry a large amount of minced ginger, minced garlic, and minced chili until golden brown, then add a large spoonful of fermented glutinous rice and stir-fry until fragrant.
Finally, add soy sauce and sugar for seasoning. When the soup becomes thick, add the fried cured fish, stir evenly, sprinkle with white sesame seeds and serve.
When Shen Lingling was cooking, Ma Yingjie's saliva couldn't stop flowing. When it was finally done, he couldn't stop eating after taking the first bite. It was spicy, fresh, fragrant and salty, with a hint of wine aroma in the middle. It was simply the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
As a native northerner, this was the first time he had seen this method of cooking. If he had known that Sister Shen had this skill, he should have asked for more when the team was distributing fish.
Not to mention anything else, this fermented wine lees cured fish is simply versatile. Whether it is paired with rice or steamed buns, or even eaten directly as a snack, it can make people dizzy with its delicious taste.
What he didn't know was that Lu Wensheng was thinking the same thing. When she had just finished eating the first piece, she said to Shen Lingling who was still making pancakes next to her:
"Lingling, how about we make more of this wine lees cured fish? It would be nice to have it as a snack when we have nothing to do!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yingjie nodded vigorously. Otherwise, it would have to be his sister Lu!
I want to eat it, but I’m too embarrassed to ask for it!
Shen Lingling thought about the pile of salted fish hanging on the roof of the woodshed and nodded:
"Okay, we'll fry more after we're done with the work this afternoon. In addition to this wine lees cured fish, we can also make smoked fish and spiced fish, both of which are both durable and delicious."
Although Ma Yingjie had never eaten it, he knew it must be delicious just by the name. He didn't want to go out and have fun, so he spoke first:
"Then Sister Shen, let me help you!"
Shen Lingling knew that he was a foodie and that the reason he was so diligent was just to eat the edge of the pot. She didn't mind and nodded:
"Okay, light the fire for me!"
“Okay, okay!”
So the two of them bypassed Lu Wensheng and happily settled the matter.
Lu Hao made up his mind that after dinner he would take his share of bacon to the village to exchange for fish.
After the last winter fishing, every household in the village received a lot of fish. For fear that the fish would go bad, most of the fish they received were pickled with salt and hung on the roof. If they were frugal, they could be eaten until April or May.
So the thing that is most in demand in the village now is cured fish, which can be easily exchanged for a basket full of it.
Lu Wensheng ate the fish and praised:
"Our Lingling's cooking skills are simply amazing. I don't know where Han Muchen got the good fortune in his previous life to marry our Lingling."
Shen Lingling blushed instantly. She hadn’t even said she wanted to get married!
The most important thing is that she doesn't want to be separated from Shengsheng, and she was heartbroken by Chen Shanhe in her previous life, so she doesn't want to get married in this life.
As early as when Han Muchen expressed his feelings to her, she had tactfully told him that she had no plans to get married and asked him not to waste his energy on her.
Who knew Han Muchen was also stubborn? His original words were:
"If you don't want to get married, I won't force you. I don't have any plans to marry anyone other than you. If you like living with Shengsheng, then I will always live next door to you.
If you ever want to get married, just tell me, I'm always available..."
Shen Lingling was very moved when she heard his words. If it weren't for her experience in her previous life, she would have agreed to marry Han Muchen long ago!
Suddenly I realized that Xiaoguang was right, I am definitely a love-brained person...
Xiaoguang: No, you are Lianshengnao...
Shen Lingling set the table and didn't see Han Muchen and Meng Qingtang come back, so she didn't wait for them.
Because the village chief said that he wanted to plant fruit tree seedlings on Xiaoqing Hill in a while, and he was worried that wild animals would destroy them.
So we simply issued the task and asked the team members to cut some thorns and enclose the planned area while there was not much work on the fields. This would not only block the animals but also facilitate future management.
Therefore, Meng Qingtang and Han Muchen were also sent up the mountain to cut thorns. Five work points a day was not bad.
The men in the village were working so hard that they didn't even go home for lunch.
It would take several hours to go back and forth. Instead of that time, you might as well run around the mountain and catch two rabbits to take home as a snack!
It was a tacit understanding that big prey would be confiscated and small prey would be kept for one's family, so everyone was particularly diligent in hunting rabbits and pheasants.
Of course, I have gained a lot in these two days.
After all, after being hungry for a whole winter, the pheasants and rabbits have to come out to look for food.
The ones who gained the most were Han Muchen and Meng Qingtang. Not only did they master martial arts, they also carried bows and arrows with them.
Just tell me, who can compare to them!
My ancestor, just beat them, and they will remain silent.
The sun sets in the west.
When they came down the mountain carrying three rabbits and two pheasants, those who had always failed were very envious.
Just think about it, you all go hunting in the mountains, but how come others can come back with a full load while you can't even catch a rabbit?
