Chapter 21 Spicy Beef Jerky

By the end of June, time had passed quickly. After the final exams, the school had a two-month holiday and school resumed in September.

During the sixty-day holiday, students and teachers were very happy, especially Su He.

Happy is ruined.

She doesn't have to get up early for work, so she can take a nap, get up at eight in the morning, have breakfast and study for four credits, take a nap at noon, and study for another four credits in the afternoon.

She doesn't force it. She plans to study for eight credits a day during the holidays.

She is pregnant with two kids, so she needs to get enough rest.

On July 5th, the points reached 500, and Su He exchanged the amulet for a copper coin. The amulet was a copper coin.

With a red rope.

Wait two days and mail it to Gu Jianhua together with the beef jerky.

It is not practical to buy beef from the brigade, so she saves up points these two days and buys it from the system mall.

So three days later.

Su He got up early, and his mother asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I plan to go to the county to buy some things." Su He said.

After hearing this, Gu's mother didn't ask any more questions, but nodded and said that the meal would be ready soon.

Su He finished her meal and before she left, her mother gave her ten yuan.

"Xiao He, buy yourself some delicious food and some face cream or something."

Su He: "Mom, I have one myself."

Her own salary and the money mailed by Gu Jianhua were all with her. After getting married, she had planned to keep half of Gu Jianhua's salary with her and give the other half to Gu's parents, but Gu's parents refused to take it.

Since you two are married, Jianhua's salary will have to be paid to her as his wife.

After that, Su He gave ten yuan to Gu's parents every month.

Since both parents don't want it, Su He can only force it upon her!

"Take Xiao He, and buy some salt and soy sauce for mom. We've run out of them at home." Gu's mother stuffed the food directly into Su He's pocket.

Then he went into the house and brought out a basket of eggs. "Give them to your parents. There are exactly fifty eggs."

"Thank you, Mom." Su He thought her mother-in-law was really nice.

Arriving at the county, Su He went home first. Comrades Chen Yuling and Su Xiao had already gone to work, while Comrade Su Changyuan was preparing to take a nap.

The eggs were given to Su's father, and after chatting for a while, Su He came out.

She now has twenty-four points.

In the system mall, beef is sold for one point per kilogram, and Su He plans to buy twenty kilograms of beef.

If Gu's mother asks, she bought it on the black market.

But I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative first to buy the salt and soy sauce that my mother asked me to buy.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, Comrade Chen Yuling was very busy and had no time to pay attention to her, so Su He came out after buying things, including soy sauce, vinegar, salt, chili powder, and rapeseed oil.

Rapeseed fried beef dry.

I put all these things in a backpack and covered it with a lid so that others couldn't tell what I bought. I planned to take out the beef stew I bought from the system mall when I got home.

I went to the county in the morning and came back at exactly twelve o'clock.

Gu's father and mother had just returned from work, but Su He arrived before them.

Mrs. Gu was a little surprised to see a large piece of beef on the chopping board.

"This is beef, where did you buy it?"

Suho, "That place, mom."

Mother Gu understood immediately and her eyes widened, "My dear, you are so brave."

Su He lied, "My colleague has been there and recommended it to me."

"A total of 20 kilograms. I will make beef jerky this afternoon and mail it to Jianhua and my eldest brother."

Mother Gu said, "Then I won't go to the fields this afternoon. I'll help you."

"Sure, Mom."

While Gu's mother was making lunch, Su He cut the beef and marinated it with green onions, ginger and other seasonings.

The family of three had their meal and took a nap. At two o'clock, Father Gu went to the fields, while Mother Gu stayed behind to help Su He.

The authentic beef jerky method is to air dry it first and then grill it. The one in Suho is not authentic, but it is delicious and it is very fragrant when fried in oil!

For a spicy flavor, mix the fried beef with chili powder and cumin, it's very fragrant.

After frying, the twenty pounds of beef shrunk in water, leaving only about thirteen pounds.

Of the thirteen pounds of beef jerky, three pounds were mailed to her eldest brother, three pounds to her third brother, and three pounds to her husband Jianhua, leaving four pounds.

Mother Gu said, "Send the remaining ones to my in-laws to have a taste."

Su He, "Mom, let's keep some for ourselves."

Mother Gu said, "Just leave a little bit for your father to taste. I can't chew it with my teeth."

Su He said yes, and then said,

"Mom, let's go to the brigade later and buy some milk tofu."

The beef jerky is a bit thin as a gift, so add some milk tofu. Beef jerky and milk tofu are specialties of Mongolian province, so they are suitable as gifts, and there is no need to worry about them going bad on the way.

Mother Gu: "Okay, I'll go wash my hands."

Su He followed Gu's mother to the brigade and bought ten pieces of milk tofu, six of which were very hard, two were neither soft nor hard, and two were freshly made and soft.

Six were mailed to her eldest brother, third brother and her husband, and the other two, which were neither soft nor hard, were sent to her parents' home.

The soft Gu Mu said she wanted to fry it for her. It was especially fragrant and delicious when fried in butter and dipped in sugar.

I've never tried fried milk tofu in Suho.

On the way, Gu's mother said, "I'll make it for you when I get home. Try it. I guarantee you'll like it."

After arriving home, Gu's mother took out an iron plate, lit a fire on a small stove, sliced ​​the milk tofu, added a spoonful of butter and fried it. The whole house was filled with the aroma of milk.

The fried milk tofu was still stringy. Su He picked up a piece, dipped it in some sugar and took a bite. It was delicious just as Gu's mother said.

Fragrant.

Seeing Su He enjoying the meal, Gu's mother smiled and said, "It's delicious, isn't it?"

Su He nodded wildly, "Yeah, Mom, it tastes especially delicious."

Mother Gu said, "Of course, it's fried in butter!"

Su He heard from Gu's mother that the better mothers-in-law in the village would buy a bottle of butter for their daughters-in-law to eat after they gave birth, to moisten the intestines and provide nutritional supplements.

Butter can be added to water and drunk, or mixed with millet rice.

In short, there are many advantages.

Gu's mother asked, "Are you used to this butter?"

Su He, "I'm used to eating."

Mother Gu said, "When you give birth, I will prepare two more bottles. Eating butter is good for your health."

"Thank you, Mom." Su He said with a smile.

Mother Gu said, "These are all baked, eat them quickly."

Su He, "Mom, I can't finish it all by myself, you should eat some too."

Su He ate most of the whole piece of milk tofu and gave the rest to Gu's mother.

the next day.

Su He took the prepared dried beef and milk tofu to the county, first went to the post office, and mailed the things for the three people.

In addition to these, he also wrote a letter to each person, especially to Gu Jianhua, instructing him to wear the amulet made for him.

Must bring!

Comrade Gu Jianhua listened to his wife's words very much. The moment he received the letter, he put the amulet around his neck and never took it off when he went to bed or took a bath.
