Chapter 109 Let’s Live Together
Su He bought all these chickens, ducks and geese, but she couldn't eat them all at once, so she started to kill chickens and ducks at home with her mother-in-law from the next day. There was only one goose, so she planned to keep it and stew it in an iron pot when the time came to have a delicious meal.
It is enough to make chicken and duck into cured meat, but they actually taste better when they are fresh.
On this day, she also started a live broadcast on the system. Now she has become accustomed to doing so. She doesn't show her face in the live broadcast room anyway. When she meets her family members, she will deliberately not let them appear on the screen. This is much more than she thought before.
Da Mao, Er Mao and Xiao Bao were playing in the west wing. The three children knew that their grandmother and mother were busy preparing food for the night and had no time to take care of them. They couldn't eat anything now, but they were very excited and obedient. They were allowed to play in the room and read picture books by themselves, and they just listened and did as they were told!
While Su He and her mother-in-law were preparing these things, they chatted: "Mom, I have an idea. How about you teach me some high school textbooks when you have free time? When school resumes, I'll have learned enough and I'll go to school to get a high school diploma!"
Teacher Wu smiled and nodded continuously, his hands still busy as he poured hot water on the chicken to pluck its feathers later: "Your idea is right! You should really think this way! Parents are the best role models for their children. If you love learning, then you three will definitely follow suit! Let's not talk about that. What you learn on your own, it enters your own mind, and no one can take it away. Who knows when you will be able to use it again!"
Now that Su He has gotten past her mother-in-law, it will be much smoother to arrange the rest of the affairs!
She continued her mother-in-law's words, "Mom, I'll go out and find the textbooks another day. School is about to resume, and I'll be teaching the Yuhong class. It'll probably be the same as before, with half-day classes and labor classes in the afternoon! After classes resume, I'll just let Da Mao go to school and take a nap in the morning. He plays at home anyway, and he plays at school too!"
Of course, the real reason is that Da Mao was already sixteen years old. Eleven years later, when the Gaokao was resumed, Da Mao would have been sixteen, the earliest time to go to college! Being able to be classmates with college students who had just resumed the Gaokao, the classmate resources alone were incredible!
Teacher Wu: "Well, OK. If you can't find the book, I can write home and ask someone to borrow it."
Su He: "Mom, wait until I can't find it. If I can't find it, you can write back and borrow it!"
It took the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law most of the day to kill the chickens and ducks and clean up.
For lunch that day, the Jin family had the buns they made last night.
Mrs. Yuan knew that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jin family were preparing to sell goods, so she came to their house in the morning to see if she could help, but Teacher Wu said she was not willing to help.
When Mrs. Yuan returned home, she cooked some more noodles. When it was time for dinner, she brought the two-ear pot to the Jin family so that everyone could eat together.
There was hot water boiling in the big iron pot at home, and the buns had been steamed on the steamer for a long time. Su Hexian originally planned to cook some vegetable soup for lunch, but seeing that Mrs. Yuan was so thoughtful, she didn't refuse.
After dinner, Teacher Wu went to Tong's house and borrowed a smoking rack. After the chickens and ducks were marinated overnight, they could be hung on the rack to dry in the sun.
In fact, Mr. Wu’s method is more like the method of air-drying chicken. He marinates the chicken and duck with soy sauce, and then air-dries them after marinating.
Of course, it contains more than just soy sauce, there are also some seasonings such as star anise and bay leaves. After marinating them and drying them in the sun, the cured chicken and duck are ready.
The locals’ method is to apply salt and smoke it, but neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law knows how to do it, so they still follow the method from their hometown.
Two days later, it was Laba Festival. On Laba Festival, people eat Laba porridge.
Locals also have the custom of drinking Laba porridge on Laba Festival.
