Chapter 65 Steamed Buns
After the three brothers of the Ning family finished sweeping the snow off the roof, Grandma Ning asked them to wash their hands first, and then watch Li Dachuan deal with the wild boar.
Said: "Dachuanzi will be done later. Let's finish our meal first and then do it when we have more strength."
Li Xiaomei had been hungry for a long time. When she heard what Grandma Ning said, she looked at Li Dachuan with sparkling eyes.
Grandma Ning poured hot water for the children to wash their hands.
When Li Dachuan arrived at the dining table, he saw thick dumpling soup, a large plate of potato ribs, and steamed buns.
He and his younger sister had been eating meat these past few days, but they hadn't received any flour when the family split up, and they hadn't eaten flour in a long time...
Li Dachuan was very grateful to Grandma Ning, and there was a lot of ginger in the dumpling soup. Although ginger did not taste good, it could dispel the cold, which was exactly what he and his sister needed most.
Li Dachuan knew that ginger was a seasoning and was not cheap. They really owed the Ning family too much.
If it weren't for Ning Jing's attention or if they hadn't been able to separate, he and his sister would have been living in a drafty storage room and would have been freezing to death in this weather.
After the separation, the Ning brothers had been helping them. Li Dachuan knew that there were many people who could kill pigs. Maybe they were not as good as him, but they would definitely not give so much. At most, they would just give him a bowl of pig-killing dishes and a set of pig offal.
And if it weren't for Grandma Ning's reminder this time, I really don't know if I would ever see the Ning family again...
Li Xiaomei saw the delicious food and it smelled so good. She hadn't eaten flour in a long time and had forgotten what it tasted like...
After taking a bite, she closed her eyes in satisfaction. Suddenly, Li Xiaomei ate a piece of ginger. Li Xiaomei didn't like ginger because she felt it tasted spicy and weird, but her brother said in the morning that eating ginger could keep her from getting sick, so she just treated it as medicine. Li Xiaomei closed her eyes and swallowed the ginger in her mouth.
Ning Jing thought Li Xiaomei was so cute. She obviously didn’t like ginger, but she still forced herself to swallow it with a frown on her face.
Ning Jing gave Li Xiaomei a piece of bone and said, "Little sister, don't just eat the soup, you should also eat the meat and the steamed bun." As she said this, she gave Li Xiaomei a steamed bun.
Ning Xiaosan also handed Li Dachuan a steamed bun and said, "Dachuanzi, you can work better after you have eaten well."
Grandma Ning knew that the Li family child had a strong sense of pride, so she quickly said, "Dachuanzi, I'm not praising you. No one can match your pig-killing skills. It's a pity you came to me this time, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."
Li Dachuan smiled shyly and then promised seriously: "Thank you, Grandma Ning. Even if I'm not here, if you need me, just say the word and I'll be there."
Grandma Ning has lived for decades and probably knows what kind of people the Li brothers and sisters are, otherwise she would not have taken them in.
It is always like this that after suffering great injustice, people will repay a little kindness from outsiders with all they have. Of course, it is also possible that they no longer believe that there is kindness in this world.
It is obvious that the Li brothers and sisters belong to the former, and Grandma Ning is willing to help the Li brothers and sisters on the premise of not harming her own interests.
After dinner, Li Xiaomei rushed to clean up the dishes. Grandma Ning smiled and didn't stop her. She thought that Xiaomei had suffered too much, and it would be more comfortable to let her do the work.
With the help of the Ning brothers, Li Dachuan had already processed the pork. There were five-jin long strips, and the same one-jin pieces from last time, neatly cut into square pieces...
This time, Grandma Ning didn't pick the meat from the bones. She took two pieces per pound and said we'd make steamed buns with all meat filling for lunch today...
Good night, baby.
