Chapter 79 Making Mushroom Sauce, Second Cousin Su

Yiyuan After Lu Qingan returned home, he gave the telegram to Li Yue'e and asked her to take it to Su Mo.

"This is a telegram from the third brother to his wife. You take it to her. Tell her that I thought something important happened, so I opened it and read it."

Li Yue'e took it and was a little nervous, "What happened? Why did you send a telegram?"

Lu Qingan waved his hand, "Nothing, I sent a telegram to let his wife write to him."

Li Yue'e: ...

Is this because you have too much money and you are so anxious? Why not write a letter instead of sending a telegram? This telegram, one word can almost send a letter.

These days, sending a telegram costs three and a half cents per word, but the speed is very fast. It can reach big cities in as fast as two hours, and remote areas will not exceed three days at the latest.

Li Yue'e took the telegram and went to Su Mo.

As soon as she approached, she smelled a mouth-watering aroma, so she asked as she entered the yard: "Old Third, what are you doing? It smells so good."

Su Mo was chopping meat at this time. When she heard the sound, she quickly took about three-quarters of it into the space.

"My halved pig head." Su Mo replied.

"Old Third sent you a telegram, I brought it to you." Li Yue'e said, "Your father, the old man, thought there was something big, so he opened it to read it."

Su Mo didn't expect Lu Changzheng to send her a telegram. In these days, if it wasn't a big deal, people would write letters, so she didn't blame Lu Qing'an for opening her telegram.

"It's okay, mother, my father is also worried."

Su Mo washed her hands, took the telegram from Li Yue'e, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but smile.

This guy is really something! He actually sent a telegram asking her to write a letter. It just so happened that she had finished knitting a sweater, so she would mail it to him tomorrow.

Li Yue'e saw Su Mo chopping meat and asked, "Are you preparing to make dumplings again?"

Su Mo shook her head, "No, I'm making mushroom meat sauce. I'll send it to Chang Zheng tomorrow when it's ready."

Li Yue'e smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, then you go ahead." The third brother was still anxious. If he didn't send a telegram, his wife would also prepare to send him a letter tomorrow.

After Li Yue'e left, Su Mo took out the meat and continued to chop it.

After chopping it, she seasoned the meat and started to put some oil in the pot, put in the meat, stir-fry until the water was dry and the oil came out, then put in dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, five-spice powder and pepper powder, stir-fry the meat until fragrant, then put in the mushroom cubes that had just been stir-fried dry with oil, add soybean sauce, and stir-fry continuously. After the mushrooms are stir-fried until they are dry and fragrant, pour in the appropriate amount of oil used to stir-fry the mushrooms, sprinkle with a handful of white sesame seeds, and then you can serve. For

the mushroom cubes, Su Mo used fresh mushrooms taken from the space. After washing them, she directly stir-fried them with oil until they were dry. The mushroom cubes made in this way are fragrant and chewy.

After the mushroom meat sauce was served and cooled, Su Mo went to see the brined pork head meat. Seeing that the meat was already soft, she took it out, cut the prepared potatoes into pieces, and put them into the brining sauce to cook.

Then she took out four transparent plastic cans for snacks from the space, tore off the labels, checked that there were no outdated signs, washed them, dried them, and waited for the mushroom meat sauce to cool down before canning them.

By this time, the pork was almost cool, so Su Mo peeled off the meat on top, cut it into small pieces, and put it in to continue marinating with the potatoes for a while. After the potatoes were starched, she picked up the whole pot.

First, fill the two aluminum lunch boxes bought a few days ago, and then take them to the cowshed to give to her parents.

The rest is divided into two portions, one for herself and one for the three elderly people later.

Then fill four large jars with mushroom sauce, two of which are sent to Lu Changzheng, one for the cowshed, and one for Geng Changqing. The rest is also divided into two portions, one for the Lu family and one for herself.

As for the bones and ribs, she is not going to cook them today, and will directly put them into the space to make soup later.

After finishing, Su Mo carried a bamboo basket, covered it with cloth, and sent it to the Lu family.

Li Yue'e was touched and helpless when she saw Su Mo bringing more things.

"You, child, you brought everything to us, what do you eat?"

"We still have some at home, but not much meat, just mushrooms and potatoes." Su Mo smiled and said, "Mom, I don't have enough jars at home, you can put this mushroom sauce in a jar, mix it with noodles or eat it with steamed buns, it's delicious."

"Yeah, okay." Li Yue'e looked at the mushroom sauce and said that there was not much meat, but she was afraid that half of the pound of meat she was given was put back.

This child is so honest, it's really lovable.

Seeing Su Mo bringing more things, the first and second wives were actually a little embarrassed.

The second wife was fine, they only had one and a half kilograms of meat, and the parents-in-law got more than them, so they had no problem not giving them any.

The first wife had eight kilograms of meat, and this time they asked for four kilograms, which was also two kilograms of oil and two kilograms of meat. Liu Yuzhi salted one kilogram of the two kilograms of meat with salt, and chopped the other kilogram into stuffing to make dumplings. She

ate some at noon, and not much at night.

"Dad, do you want to bring a bowl of dumplings over?" Liu Yuzhi asked. She originally thought that her parents-in-law also got some meat, so she didn't give any. Lu Xingjun

waved his hand, "The third brother's wife just gave some, and the old man has several mouths open, so he can't eat that much. We will give it next time."

After thinking for a while, Lu Xingjun said again: "Next time there is something delicious, think of your parents, no matter how much, at least give some."

Liu Yuzhi was unhappy when she heard it, as if she was a very demanding person.

"I just want my parents to have as much meat as we do. They have three people to feed, and we have five people to feed. The children are staring at us every day."

"Give more if it's more, give less if it's less. Even if it's just one for each person, it's still given, and it's also our filial piety." Lu Xingjun said. He is the eldest

brother, and he should take the responsibility of respecting the elderly. "You are the eldest sister-in-law, you should set an example for the younger brothers and sisters."

Liu Yuzhi sneered, "Eldest sister-in-law? It's okay for the third brother's family, but you see the second brother's family, when have they ever treated me as the eldest sister-in-law." Lu Xingjun

choked and had nothing to say.

******

The next day, after Su Mo finished breakfast, she rode her bicycle to the post office to send things to Lu Changzheng.

In addition to sweaters and mushroom sauce, she also packed a lot of chestnuts, walnuts and pine nuts. I wrote a letter last night, telling him about some recent events, and also implicitly expressing my thoughts for him, asking him to be safe and take care of himself.

Thinking that it would take an extra step to send it at the commune post office, Su Mo went directly to the county post office to send it. When packing, she even told the post office staff to wrap the mushroom sauce in several layers to prevent it from leaking on the way and dirtying the sweater.

There were a lot of things, and although the journey was shorter, it still cost one yuan.

After sending the things, Su Mo took out the 50 yuan collected by her aunt. After thinking about it, she decided to call them and tell them about the situation.

She told the operator the number, and after the call was connected, she asked Su Mo to come in.

Su Tingde was not at home today. Only Fu Manhua and Su Mo's second cousin Su Yiyuan were there. It was Su Yiyuan who answered the phone.

"Little sister, I heard from my parents that you got married there? What's going on?" Su Mo had just answered the phone when Su Yiyuan's excited voice came.

"Second brother, why are you at home?" She remembered that Su Yiyuan did not seem to be in the Guangxi Provincial Army.

Su Yiyuan was four years older than the original owner. He also lived in Shanghai for a period of time when he was a child and had a good relationship with the original owner. She was also one of the people who often sent money and things to the original owner.

"Why can't I be at home? I was transferred to Guangxi Province. Don't change the subject. Tell me why you got married."

After Su Yiyuan came back and heard what his parents said, he was almost angry to death. If he hadn't been transferred here and couldn't take leave, he would have rushed to Heijiang Province.

Su Mo had no choice but to tell him about Lu Changzheng saving her.

"Just because of this, you want to marry him?" Su Yiyuan simply couldn't believe it.

"It's not just because of this, the main reason is that he looks handsome, the type I like."

Su Yiyuan: ...

"Send me a photo of him, I want to see how handsome he is." Su Yiyuan almost choked to death. He wanted to see what kind of person made his younger sister fall in love with him at first sight.

The Su family members are not bad looking, usually they are said to be handsome by others.

"Yes, I sent you some hazel mushrooms and chestnuts a few days ago. I think they should arrive in a few days." The last time Su Mo sent something, she also sent a photo.

"Why are you sending those things? Keep them for yourself. If you don't have enough money, tell your second brother and he will send you money." "

Second brother, I have enough money. I picked those things up in the mountains. They are mountain products unique to the north and not available in the south. I sent them to you to taste."

Su Yiyuan almost cried when he heard this. His cute little sister actually went up the mountain to pick up things. How hard it must be.

Just when he was about to give a sensational performance, Fu Manhua slapped him on the shoulder, "Long-distance calls are expensive, let's cut to the chase and ask your little sister why she called."

Su Yiyuan choked and asked, "Little sister, what's the matter with you calling?"

"Second brother, is my aunt here? Let me talk to her."

Su Yiyuan had to reluctantly hand over the phone to Fu Manhua.

"Aunt, I received the money, and you don't have to send it anymore. I met Grandpa Zhang and the others, and they gave me money, so I have enough money to spend." Su Mo said.

"Did you meet them? How are they? Is the old lady in good health?"

"She's in good spirits, but she's lost a lot of weight. I'll take time to visit her from time to time and ask them to take good care of themselves."

"Okay, you should take care of yourself too." Fu Manhua reminded.

"I know, don't worry, aunt. I went to Uncle Geng's place a few days ago, and he also gave me 100 yuan to spend." Su Mo mentioned obscurely that Geng Changqing could help.

"Okay, your uncle Changqing is a good person, but he is also busy with work, so you don't have to go to him often."

With Geng Changqing in charge, those people won't have a hard time, but if Geng Changqing is involved, it will be hard to say what will happen in the future.

"I understand, don't worry, aunt."

"Okay, I may go to Haishi again in two months, and then I will find you." Fu Manhua.

"Well, when aunt comes, tell me, I will pick you up in the county." There is a bus from the city to Qingxi County. "

Okay, I will send you a telegram when the time comes." Fu Manhua said.

The two of them greeted each other and hung up the phone, leaving Su Yiyuan, who was waiting to speak, glaring with anger.

This call lasted for ten minutes and cost Su Mo 11 yuan.
