The oil we've been using lately is lard rendered from pork fat that Fu Hongxing got before the Lunar New Year.
Cottonseed oil is not good for your health these days, so even though Fu Hongxing has a monthly oil ration, she doesn't use it.
Fu Hongxing used it to offset the cotton coupons he owed before the new year, and no one would dislike these oil coupons.
They were all very happy to see that Fu Hongxing was willing to use this as a discount.
Even some of the people who had said they didn't have cotton coupons when Fu Hongxing asked them for them secretly regretted it.
After all, nowadays, people only have 6 ounces of oil a month, and many families soak gauze in the oil bottle to make that amount.
When it's time to cook, take a piece of cheesecloth and smear it around the pot. If there are a few specks of oil, that's good enough.
Eating lard every day isn't good either. If we could extract peanut oil, that would be better for the children's health.
However, Chen Daohui was not discouraged. He did not get any peanut seeds from Ning Jing, but he did get a lot from Wang Guihua.
He and his advisor used the stones you removed from those two acres of land to fence off a piece of wasteland next to the field, then loosened the soil and planted peanut seeds.
Furthermore, fertile soil from the earthworm farm was used next to where the peanut seeds were buried.
As the days went by, in addition to the increasing variety of wild vegetables, bamboo shoots also sprouted in the bamboo forest on the hillside.
When Ning Jing saw bamboo shoots, her first thought was braised bamboo shoots in oil.
Just thinking about the deliciousness of braised bamboo shoots made her mouth water.
So, besides the breeding farm, her other destination was digging bamboo shoots.
She prepares to make dried bamboo shoots from the bamboo shoots she digs every day, in addition to cooking them herself.
Seeing how much she liked it, Fu Hongxing also took advantage of his time after get off work and getting up early in the morning to dig bamboo shoots.
Almost every time Ning Jing gets up in the morning and finishes cooking dinner, there's an extra bag of freshly baked bamboo shoots in the yard.
The children are also well-behaved. After Xiuhua and the others finish their homework, they will take their younger siblings to peel the bamboo shoots that their older brother and sister-in-law have collected in a day.
After peeling and washing the bamboo shoots, and after everyone had finished eating, Ningjing poured the bamboo shoots that everyone had dug up and cleaned that day into a pot, added water, brought it to a boil, and then simmered it over low heat for about half an hour. Then she turned off the heat, leaving some embers to simmer.
If left to simmer until the next morning, it will be cooked through. Ning Jing will then scoop it out and place it in a bamboo basket to drain.
Then I cooked for everyone. After I finished cooking, I called everyone to eat together. After they all went to work or school, I used a kitchen knife to cut the bamboo shoots in half and laid them out to dry.
After all these things were done, they took out the twins, fed them breakfast, and then took one in front and one in back to the farm.
The twins can now call each other "brother" very fluently, but they still can't call each other "sister-in-law".
She did call out "Mom" a few times, which made Ning Jing sigh for a while.
The reason why the soil was contaminated last time has also been found.
Someone went to the coal mine and got some partially burned coal ash to use for heating in their home. After using it, they simply dumped it on the ground by the river.
Over time, you gradually lose more and more.
The fly ash is already dark gray, and after it mixes with the soil and snowmelt, it becomes even harder to see anything else.
The soil looked dark and fertile, but it was actually polluted.
Aunt Wu was unaware of these things and used it as fertilizer, which is why this happened.
