Aunt Zhang brought the dishes over and said a little embarrassedly, "We don't have anything special to offer you at home, so just eat whatever you want."
Shen Annian smiled and said, "Auntie, you are too polite. We eat like this at home."
They had fried loach, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of mashed Chinese cabbage with garlic, all very homely dishes.
What surprised her was that he actually cooked a big pot of white rice.
Da Niu said that they rarely eat white rice at home.
It seemed that she used the best things in the house to treat herself.
"Auntie, please sit down and let's eat together."
Xiaocao held the bowl and saw the white rice in it, her mouth watering with greed.
Da Niu was also very happy. Except during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, they rarely had the chance to eat white rice.
So he doesn't need to eat vegetables, he can just eat white rice and still enjoy it.
The loach had not been fried in oil and had a strong fishy smell, so Shen Annian didn't like it.
The sweet and sour scrambled eggs with tomatoes suits her taste very well.
Da Niu and Xiao Cao like to eat loach very much. It is a rare meat dish for them.
Aunt Zhang saw them eating loaches and said, "Comrade Shen, Comrade Xue, you should eat some loaches too."
Shen An Nian smiled and said, "It's hot, and I don't like to eat meat. But this tomato is sour and sweet, very appetizing, I like it very much."
Xue Dingxiang also agreed with her, "I don't like loach either, but this choy sum is delicious."
Aunt Zhang saw Shen Annian and smiled.
They are really kind people. Knowing that their family is not well off, they specially left the meat for the children.
I have a better impression of her.
After lunch, just as Da Niu was clearing the table, Li Qingmin walked in and asked, "Auntie, have you eaten yet?"
"Captain, why are you here?"
Li Qingmin saw the vigilance in her eyes and felt a little embarrassed, "Auntie, I came over to talk to Comrade Shen, don't be nervous."
Aunt Zhang asked him to sit down.
Li Qingmin looked at Shen Annian embarrassedly, “Comrade Shen, I’m really sorry about what happened today.
"My third uncle is old and just wants his family to be together. Who could have imagined something like this would happen?"
"If he really thought so, he should have properly restrained Li Lele and her daughter instead of forcing others to forgive him after causing them harm.
Besides, no matter what happened, he shouldn't have blamed me.
He came to see me today simply because he thought I was a weak woman and easy to control.
Let him go to the army or the police station and see if he dares to say such things."
Li Qingmin sighed silently. How could he not know?
Just now, Third Uncle got angry and said that he would not allow Shen Annian to come to Hulu Village in the future.
How could he dare to agree?
Third Uncle was really confused. He thought this happened in the past.
There are now several families in the village working in military factories.
Even without mentioning this, their village still relies on the army to purchase honey and fruits.
If they offend the army, they will no longer be able to eat.
"Comrade Shen, please calm down. Please calm down. I apologize to you on behalf of my uncle."
Shen Anyian looked at him and sighed softly.
"I have no problem with my third uncle; on the contrary, I respect him very much.
As a family member of a martyr, I believe he must have endured a lot over the years.
You must have your own reasons for respecting him so much, and I can understand that.
But there are some things that we really cannot decide whether they can be done or not.
Take the incident that Li Lele caused in the army as an example. If she is not punished, how will Captain Zhou explain it? Will he still have a future?
If everyone imitated Li Lele, would soldiers dare to go out in the future?
What else could Li Qingmin say but nod.
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but Third Uncle is anxious at the moment, so he said that.
I will persuade him well. Third Uncle is a reasonable man and he will understand."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Li Qingmin chatted with her for a while before leaving.
Shen Annian continued to communicate with Aunt Zhang about winemaking. Only then did she realize that the difference between good and bad wines was most directly related to Daqu.
Aunt Zhang’s secret weapon is Daqu.
The wine brewed with their special Daqu will have a richer aroma and a clearer taste.
When Aunt Zhang heard her requirement for wine, she suggested mixing sorghum with wheat to make wine.
The wine brewed from sorghum is more fragrant, while the wine brewed from wheat has a stronger aftertaste and is more suitable for drinking in cold weather.
Shen An Nian didn't understand this, but she suggested brewing a few more kinds of wine, and then let everyone choose carefully and choose which one is better.
Aunt Zhang did not object. To her, it was all the same, except for the different raw materials.
However, composing a large piece of music is not that simple. You need to find a relatively secluded room as a composing room.
Daqu has a strong smell that attracts mosquitoes, and it has high requirements for the environment. If the environment is not clean enough, it cannot be made.
So they have to find a koji-making room first.
Shen Anyian really didn't know where to find such a place.
I have to go back and discuss this matter with Director Fang.
When leaving Aunt Zhang's house, Xue Dingxiang said with emotion, "I didn't expect there are so many tricks to making wine. Just making the yeast has so many steps.
The mash is even more difficult to take care of. You have to look after the temperature and put it into the cellar. I think it’s like taking care of a child.”
“The craft that makes money is naturally more difficult.
But don’t worry, we have a master to guide us, and we will definitely be able to do it well.”
