Chapter 52 There is Oil at Home



Hu Lin's chilling words made Hu Xiaoyi choke and he was speechless.

Hu Lin was speechless when he saw Hu Lin's brainless appearance.

He is still only suitable for doing brainless work.

Hu Lin had an injured knee and couldn't go to Zhao Ming to get the things he had exchanged the day before. After dinner, he had to let Li Aihua carry the basket.

Hu Xiaoyi glanced outside the house in the setting sun and continued to deal with the cut vines.

Next to it was a freshly made wooden basin filled with paste and left to dry.

Zhao Ming opened the door and saw Li Aihua acting in a sneaky manner, not like someone doing good deeds, so he led her into the house with a little surprise.

Zhao Ming placed the lard and soybean oil he bought on the table, and he put the things in Li Aihua's small backpack.

"Is Hu Lin seriously injured?" If it wasn't serious, according to Hu Lin's character, he should come and see it in person.

"It's okay. My knee isn't that swollen anymore." Li Aihua took up her clothes to cover the large lump of lard.

"Can it be exchanged for so much oil?" Li Aihua looked at so much oil and finally understood the specific value of the pheasant.

If you eat this oil regularly, it will last you for half a year!

"It shrinks by half after the oil comes out." Zhao Ming took Li Aihua out.

It was getting dark at this time. Passers-by caught a glimpse of them and saw Li Aihua, who looked unfamiliar, so they looked at her a few more times.

Li Aihua noticed the gaze, bent down and lowered her head shyly as she walked away. This action of Li Aihua made the people who were originally looking at her couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

After arriving home, Li Aihua saw Hu Lin sitting at the dinner table waiting for her to come back, and she felt relieved.

She rarely went out except to pick wild vegetables in the mountains. Even when she was picking wild vegetables, she rarely met other people on the way.

When she heard her daughter asking her to go out alone, she was nervous, but thinking that she could share some of the burden with her daughter, she gritted her teeth and went.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, otherwise how could she be worthy of her daughter's trust.

"Let me see how much oil is there?" Hu Lin stood up and looked at the backpack that Li Aihua had taken down.

Hu Xiaoyi, who was outside the house, heard it and listened carefully.

He knew the situation at home. They actually got the oil. I hope they didn't do anything sneaky.

"There are so many!" Li Aihua took away her clothes, "Eat them quickly, it's enough for our family to eat until the end of the year."

When Hu Xiaoyi heard this, he could no longer sit still.

A large basket of white lard came into view. Hu Lin took a look and looked away, "Let's boil the lard."

Hu Lin had just finished speaking when Hu Xiaoyi came in. He looked at the oil in the basket and asked, "Where did you get this oil?"

Hu Xiaoyi asked Li Aihua. At that time, Li Aihua was squatting. She raised her head and looked at Hu Xiaoyi who was looking down at her, and subconsciously asked Hu Lin for help.

Hu Lin noticed something and looked away, avoiding Li Aihua's request for help.

Li Aihua was helpless and replied timidly: "My daughter exchanged half a chicken for Doctor Zhao yesterday."

After hearing Li Aihua's answer, Hu Lin looked at Hu Xiaoyi and asked, "Any questions?"

Hu Xiaoyi met Hu Lin's cold gaze and swallowed instinctively, thinking that Hu Lin was mocking his questioning, which was unnecessary.

"No problem, we're going to the kitchen to boil oil." Hu Lin glanced at Li Aihua, and Li Aihua followed him to the kitchen with a backpack.

Hu Xiaoyi looked at the mother and daughter, then went back to weaving baskets dryly.

Hu Lin took some wild grass that Li Aihua had dried and lit the dying spark.

When the fire started, she saw Li Aihua put the food directly on the chopping board without washing the oil and prepared to cut it into pieces, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"Why don't you wash?" Could it be that she was scared to death by Hu Xiaoyi just now?

She deliberately didn't help Li Aihua just now.

Li Aihua has to learn to handle such small matters by herself. If she is responsible for everything, she will be exhausted.

She also needs to exercise and lay a solid foundation, so I don't have the time to take care of her all the time.

"Ah?" Li Aihua looked at Hu Lin in confusion, "The oil doesn't need to be washed, it's clean."

She was puzzled by Hu Lin's idea. In her impression, the oil did not need to be washed, just cut it into pieces and put it in the pan.

Hu Lin was speechless about this.

I don’t know what Li Aihua’s so-called cleanliness standard is, but according to her standards, it’s not acceptable.

"Wash it. Who knows if there are any flies stuck on it?"

"It doesn't matter." Li Aihua still wanted to struggle.

Washing it once will waste a lot of oil.

"Flies love to stick to feces. Wash your body quickly because it's so dirty." Hu Lin didn't want to waste time and spoke in a tough tone.

"Oh." After hearing what Hu Lin said, he scooped water and washed the lard.

Hu Lin looked at her and only looked away when he saw Li Aihua wash everything inside and out.

High temperature can indeed sterilize, but she just feels uncomfortable about it.

The water for washing was boiled in the pot. Li Aihua scooped the water into a tin bucket and started to boil oil.

It was completely dark, and Li Aihua went to get the oil lamp and lit it.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Li Aihua poured oil into the oil tank and vegetable bowl.

There were not enough basins, so I had to put the oil residue and the oil into the vegetable basin.

There was still some oil residue left in the pot. Li Aihua didn't scoop it up, but explained to Hu Lin, "How about saving it for fried rice tomorrow morning?"

Hu Lin nodded, looked at the dish basin with the oil residue and the oil together and said, "When the wooden basin can be used, we still have to separate the oil residue."

When you stir-fry dishes on weekdays, adding some oil residue in it can be considered as a meat dish.

"Hey." Li Aihua looked at the oil residue in the pot and asked tentatively: "Girl, do you want to eat some oil residue?"

She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, whenever the family cooked, they liked to gather around the stove.

They want to sneak some food when adults aren't paying attention, or find ways to get food from adults.

Unfortunately, she never got one, and only the boys in the family were fed occasionally.

Hu Lin glanced at Li Aihua, wondering why she asked such a question.

When Li Aihua received her daughter's gaze, she dodged for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

Her daughter is different from others and probably doesn't like her suggestion.

"You can eat if you want." Hu Lin misunderstood Li Aihua's embarrassed expression, thinking that she was greedy and asked this. "I'm going to wash up."

Now she doesn’t have a toothbrush, so she can only rinse her mouth with water after every meal. She has to rinse it several times, which makes her very uncomfortable.

I have to go up the mountain to look for suitable branches that can be used to brush my teeth.

When Li Aihua saw her daughter scooping water out to rinse her mouth, she looked at the oil residue in the pot, a little dazed.

My daughter just said that she can eat it.

Then should she try it?

Li Aihua glanced at the empty door and picked up a small piece of oil residue and put it in her mouth like a thief.

When I was a child, every time my older brother and younger brother ate the oil residue, they would smile brightly.

It turns out that this is the taste of the oil residue just out of the pan.

Very crispy.

Now, she can eat it too.

When Hu Lin came back from brushing her teeth, she was puzzled to see Li Aihua looking at her with sparkling eyes.

"By the way, this is for you." Hu Lin put the bowl on the stove and took out the Cuban candy he had redeemed from Zhao Ming from his pocket.
