Chapter 56: Beat him up if you meet him again!
During dinner at the Qin family.
Qin He couldn't help but tell his family about his daughter's encounter with Lin Heng in the county town today.
"Has Zhizhi been bullied?" Granny Qin was afraid that Lin Heng would bully her granddaughter.
"Mom, I was looking at the ox cart at that time and didn't follow in. Zhizhi met us in the shop and told me when she came out." Qin He hurriedly explained to Mrs. Qin.
"Lin Hengding said something bad. How can you be a father? Nothing is more important than protecting your daughter. You can't wait for that bastard to come out at the door and beat him up."
Mrs. Qin still gritted her teeth when she mentioned Lin Heng. Ever since her granddaughter got married, they had been so busy that they had forgotten about this person.
"That's right, second brother. Beat him up next time we meet." Qin Jiang now only regretted that he was not there. Otherwise, with his protective nature, he would definitely beat Lin Heng up.
"The third brother is right. Next time you see him, just beat him up." Granny Qin was afraid that her granddaughter would be provoked by Lin Heng again.
"From now on, when Zhizhi goes to the city, you three brothers will take turns accompanying her. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go with Zhizhi to prevent her from being bullied by Lin Heng."
Mrs. Qin was extremely vigilant, because the mother and son of the Lin family were not good people.
"Mom is right. We can go with you if you can't." Zhang was also worried about her daughter.
"You and the third son's wife are too thin-skinned, but this kind of thing requires me and your eldest sister-in-law to take action."
Li is a bold and decisive person. She is most like Mrs. Qin in the Qin family. Mrs. Qin trusts her eldest daughter-in-law the most in these matters.
"Hehe, my wife is awesome!" Qin Shan ate noodles with a proud look on his face.
Li's face immediately turned red. Her husband really spoke nonsense. Everyone else was trying to hold back their laughter. Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at Qin Shan.
Because of Qin Shan's words, the atmosphere suddenly became warm, and Lin Heng's topic was successfully diverted.
A few days later, Zhang's bean sprout business also began uninterruptedly.
Qin Zhizhi went there again and suggested that when her uncle was not busy, he could go to the county town to sell bean sprouts, so that the daily sales would increase a lot.
The Zhang family unanimously agreed that it was feasible. The peanuts had almost been harvested, and my uncle usually had some free time.
Grandpa and grandma can be responsible for growing bean sprouts at home, and my uncle and aunt will go to the restaurant to deliver bean sprouts every day and sell some in the county town.
After listening to Qin Zhizhi's advice, my uncle and aunt's daily income did increase a lot.
After dealing with the Zhang family's affairs, Qin Zhizhi rested for about half a month.
I go to the workshop every day, make delicious food, and spend time with my mother-in-law. I am very happy.
I haven’t been to the back mountain for a long time. After breakfast today, Qin Zhizhi put on her backpack and took a small hoe to the back mountain.
She is going to try her luck today. There is a bamboo forest on the back mountain and she wants to go there to dig spring bamboo shoots.
Arriving at the bamboo forest, Qin Zhizhi observed carefully and found that the early spring bamboo shoots could be dug.
At this time, the possibility of spring bamboo shoots growing into bamboos is very small, so they can all be dug up. After digging the bamboo shoots, they must be covered with soil immediately to fill the bamboo shoot holes.
Qin Zhizhi’s favorite thing before was to dig spring bamboo shoots with her grandmother. When picking spring bamboo shoots, the ones with tender yellow shells were the best, and the bamboo shoot meat was particularly tender.
Moreover, the whiter the bamboo shoots are, the crisper and more tender they are; the tighter the nodes are, the more tender the meat is.
Qin Zhizhi became happier and happier as she dug alone. Because the small hoe affected her performance, she only dug most of the basket in the whole morning.
Thinking about the delicious food made from bamboo shoots, Qin Zhizhi happily returned home carrying the bamboo shoots.
As soon as she entered the yard, she called out to Mother Gu, "Mom, I'm back. Come and see what I found. We'll have it for lunch."
When Mother Gu heard her daughter-in-law's voice, she hurried out of the house.
"Zhizhi is back. What good things have you found?" Mother Gu helped Qin Zhizhi take the backpack and looked into it curiously.
"Mom, I went to the back mountain to dig some bamboo shoots today. Take a look." Qin Zhizhi poured out the bamboo shoots from the basket.
Mother Gu had never eaten spring bamboo shoots before, so she asked curiously, "Zhizhi, isn't this bamboo? Can it be eaten?"
"Mom, this is good stuff. Zhizhi will make it for you to try later. I guarantee you will love it." Qin Zhizhi is confident in her cooking skills.
"Okay, then mother will have a treat today." Mother Gu smiled happily.
"Then let me help you light a fire." Mother Gu wanted to help Qin Zhizhi do something.
"Mom, no need. Go and do your thing. Today it's Jingshu's turn to light the fire. If you take his job, he'll be unhappy later."
The three children of the Gu family plus Qin Qinghui took turns to make fire for Qin Zhizhi, and no one could snatch it away.
Mother Gu laughed out loud when she heard this. Her daughter-in-law had her own way of educating children, and she agreed with it, so she never interfered with them.
"Then mother won't compete with him. Just call me if you have any problems." Seeing that Qin Zhizhi didn't need her help, Mother Gu went back to the house.
Qin Zhizhi hummed a song while peeling off the hard outer shell of the spring bamboo shoots, cutting off the old roots with a knife, flattening them with the back of the knife, and then cutting them into inch-long pieces.
There was still a piece of pork belly that Qin Zhizhi bought yesterday, so she took it out, washed it, and cut it into thick slices.
Bamboo shoots must be processed before stir-frying, otherwise they will have an astringent taste and affect the taste of the whole dish.
Pour water into the pot and bring it to a boil. Blanch the bamboo shoots and drain them.
All the ingredients are ready, the children have finished school, and Gu Jingshu will be cooking today.
Qin Zhizhi puts a proper amount of oil in the pot, adds rock sugar and heats it on low heat, pours in the pork belly cubes and stir-fries, then adds the blanched bamboo shoots, green onions and ginger.
When you feel it’s almost done, add water, enough to cover the meat and bamboo shoots. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for a while over low heat.
Finally, add salt and other seasonings and cook over high heat until the sauce is reduced. Use a spatula to stir the meat constantly while reducing the sauce so that every piece of meat and bamboo shoots are coated with the sauce.
Qin Zhizhi tasted a piece and it tasted delicious.
Qin Zhizhi cooked a lot and filled two large bowls. She kept one bowl for herself and asked Qin Qinghui to send the other bowl back to the Qin family.
I remembered that I had some leftover pork belly during the Chinese New Year, so I made a small piece of salted pork belly. Now it is perfect for making pickled pork with preserved vegetables.
This dish is simple to make. Cut the salted pork belly and fresh pork belly into pieces, boil and blanch them.
Shell the bamboo shoots, cut them into pieces with a rolling pin, and blanch them in water for later use. Put the blanched meat into the pot, add water and ginger slices, bring to a boil, then turn to low heat and continue stewing.
Then add bamboo shoots and stew for a while, add some shredded tofu and continue cooking.
Considering the children's balanced nutrition, Qin Zhizhi went to the vegetable garden to pick some green vegetables and fried them, combining meat and vegetables to ensure a balanced nutrition.
There were no steamed buns at home, so Qin Zhizhi simply cooked rice, which made the children very happy.
Because Qin Zhizhi's rice cooking seemed to be magical, and there was always rice crust in it, the children were craving it.
Although lunch only consisted of two dishes and a soup, Qin Zhizhi made large portions and everyone was full.
Mother Gu didn't expect that spring bamboo shoots were so delicious, and she ate half an extra bowl of rice at noon.
Children like it even more. Whether it is braised pork with bamboo shoots or pickled pork with preserved vegetables, they are all very tender and crispy, especially the braised pork with bamboo shoots with rice, which tastes so delicious.
