Xu Yun asked Su Yuhe: "Do you know that person? Why does it feel like you two have a grudge against each other?"
"I don't know him." Su Yuhe paused, "That guy has a crush on Jiang Lin and is very annoying."
Xu Yun exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Su Yuhe briefly recounted what had happened before.
Xu Yun was speechless: "Is there something wrong with this person's brain? Before, people looked down on her even when she was offered a chance. Why does she think others will like her now?"
Su Yuhe took her to the meat station nearby.
Xu Yun was not surprised: "I knew you wanted to buy meat again."
Su Yuhe smiled and said, "It's getting cold now. I can't stand it without eating something oily."
Today, the meat station actually has goose meat, selling for 80 cents a pound.
More expensive than pork.
Xu Yun is from the south and doesn't have much of a taste for goose meat, but she might consider duck.
Su Yuhe especially likes to eat goose stewed in an iron pot. She has never seen goose meat since her rebirth. On this cold day, the goose meat she sees seems to be specially prepared for her.
There were quite a few people queuing up. Su Yuhe wanted to buy something, so she asked Xu Yun to go somewhere else to buy what she wanted while she stayed in line.
Xu Yun shook his head: "I don't have anything to buy. I'll queue up here with you. It will be quick."
The salesperson in front shouted loudly at people to get their tickets and money.
After waiting in line for more than twenty minutes, which was faster than Su Yuhe had imagined, she took out a meat ticket for four pounds and handed it over with a smile: "Auntie, I want four pounds of goose meat, please."
Such a polite young girl, she is pretty and has a nice voice.
The saleswoman, who had been busy for most of the day, felt much better now. She chopped up half of the goose and put it on the scale. She found that there was a little too much, but she didn't care.
If it were someone else, this aunt would have used a knife to cut it out.
The auntie didn't speak as loudly as she did to others, and even asked Su Yuhe, "Miss, do you want a goose head and goose butt?"
It's hard to say whether they will charge for things like goose heads and goose butts. Some people will just cut them up and give them to you, and you have to take them after they weigh them.
Some people will give it to you directly.
For example, the goose meat Su Yuhe has now is weighed, which makes it clear that it is given away for free.
Su Yuhe was very polite: "I want a goose head, thank you auntie."
The aunt nodded with satisfaction. This girl was quite grateful. Seeing that her family was well off, she bought four kilograms of meat at one time.
At that time, each person's monthly meat ticket was one kilogram, and the number of kilograms of meat each family received was determined by the number of people in the family.
Su Yuhe bought four kilograms at one time. In the aunt's opinion, she had bought up the family's share for this month. It would be difficult to find a husband for a girl with such big hands and feet.
If Su Yuhe knew that the aunt had so many things in her mind, she would definitely be in tears and laughter.
Ever since she started eating at Jiang Lin's house, she rarely used meat coupons to buy meat herself. Jiang Lin always bought it for her. Su Yuhe guessed it herself. She felt that Jiang Lin definitely did not use meat coupons to buy meat at the meat station.
Xu Yun was equally shocked: "Why did you buy so much? My goodness, how long will it take to eat it all?"
Su Yuhe blinked. "We finished it in one meal. Two relatives came to Brother Lin's house, so there are five or six people in total. Oh, and come with me to Jiang Lin's house for dinner. We're having iron pot stewed goose tonight."
"Goose stewed in an iron pot? What is that?" This was the first time Xu Yun had heard of this. Just stewing a goose in an iron pot? Would it taste good?
After realizing what he had asked, Xu Yun felt a little embarrassed. His face turned slightly red and he said a little sheepishly: "It's not a good idea for me to go to dinner with you. Forget it."
"Hey, you helped me so much at the educated youth camp, and you're my only friend. What's wrong with inviting you to dinner? Stop talking nonsense. If you feel embarrassed, come and help me pick some vegetables later."
Xu Yun was dragged to Jiang Lin's house by Su Yuhe. This was the first time Xu Yun entered the Jiang family's yard and he was a little surprised:
"This yard is actually bigger than the one we had at the educated youth camp."
Su Yuhe smiled but said nothing. Jiang Lin's family was at least a landlord. Even if other houses were divided up, the houses left for living were also landlords' houses, and it was normal for them to have high walls and large courtyards.
The educated youth settlement was just an ordinary house with a yard surrounded by a fence. It was good enough if it didn't leak water or air.
When Xu Yun went to the countryside, she knew there was a landlord. Seeing that Jiang Lin was not dressed well and was working on a fifth-class land, she thought he was poor. She never imagined that the yard he lived in was even bigger than the one where the educated youth lived.
There is also a vegetable patch inside, with green leeks and plump cabbages, which are much better than those grown by the educated youth.
"What should I do?" Xu Yun asked. Since she was here, she would feel embarrassed to eat if she didn't work.
Su Yuhe understood and pointed to the vegetable patch: "Go pick a big cabbage first. There's a wooden basin over there. Please wash it clean. Oh, wait a minute, I'll get you a bamboo basket."
Xu Yun rolled up his sleeves, ran to the field immediately, and pulled out the largest cabbage.
Xu Yun broke off the rotten and old leaves in the vegetable garden and threw them next to the chicken coop, then drew water from the well to wash the cabbages.
Although the weather is cold, the well water is warm.
She was not perfunctory at all. When washing the cabbage, she peeled it one leaf at a time and washed it.
Su Yuhe was preparing food in the kitchen.
Add cornmeal and white flour into it, knead into a ball and set aside.
The potatoes taken out of the cellar were cut into thick slices and the goose meat was chopped into pieces.
Xu Yun brought in the washed cabbage and asked Su Yuhe, "Where do you put this?"
Su Yuhe nodded her chin towards the table next to the stove: "Where should I put it?"
She cleaned the pot, and Xu Yun attentively lit the fire and threw platycodon into the furnace.
Su Yuhe added oil after the pan was heated, then put the goose meat in and stir-fried it until it was firm and browned, then added white wine and stir-fried it for a few times before taking it out.
The rest is easy.
When the oil is hot, add onions, ginger, garlic, star anise and cinnamon and stir-fry until fragrant. These were discovered by Shi Kangyuan when he went into the mountains to dig herbs. He brought some back and they came in handy now.
After the aroma comes out, add the goose meat and stir-fry evenly. Add the potatoes, add water and bring to a boil over high heat.
"Is this okay?" Xu Yun asked Su Yuhe when he saw her trying the food.
"It's a long way off." Su Yuhe smiled and covered the pot tightly. "It needs to simmer for an hour."
When stewing later, add firewood.
Su Yuhe and Xu Yun sat on small stools, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
Xu Yun: "It's quite quiet here. Didn't Jiang Lin say he had his grandmother and mother? Why aren't they here?"
"He should be resting."
"elder sister!"
Dandan and Shi Kangyuan went out to dig herbs. When they returned home, they smelled the fragrance as soon as they entered the yard. They immediately ran to the kitchen to take a look and found that it was Su Yuhe. They shouted in surprise.
Su Yuhe waved at her: "Come here."
Dandan ran over, and Su Yuhe touched her face: "Aren't you cold? Come and warm yourself by the fire."
"What is this?" Xu Yun was stunned. He had never heard that Jiang Lin had any children in his family?
