Chapter 7 River Food
Lin Su'e looked at her worried look, stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek, and smiled softly: "Relax, our little housekeeper, our family still has money!"
In her previous life, before the second daughter got married, she was responsible for all the housework in the family, and was busy from childhood to night for the whole family; after she got married, her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and aunt were difficult to get along with, and her husband was a person who didn't care about anything, so her life was very unhappy.
Misfortune always favors the unfortunate.
This is not the end. They had a son and a daughter. The daughter was love-brained. She ran away with a strange man at the age of 17. Later, she had no money, so she brought her son home to live off her parents. The son was a gangster. He got into a fight with someone and was imprisoned for several years. After he was released, he was eliminated by society and is still single at the age of 40.
Before she traveled through time, Zhao Fenglan, who was only 60 years old, looked about the same age as Lin Su'e, who was 84 years old.
It is said that no one loves sensible children. I owed her too much in my previous life. I must compensate this daughter in this life.
Zhao Fenglan looked at her blankly.
The next moment, her cheeks flushed red.
"mom……"
Why did he suddenly pinch her face like this? It was so embarrassing and uncomfortable...
Lin Su'e took out the vanishing cream: "I bought this for you, do you like it?"
Zhao Fenglan was stunned again.
Gift, present, for me?
Lin Su'e raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you say anything? Don't you like it? Then tell mom what you like. Next time..."
Zhao Fenglan blurted out: "I like it."
Lin Su'e: "Hmm?"
Zhao Fenglan took it and held it in her hand with care, her eyes reddening: "Thank you, Mom. I like it very much."
Seeing this, her heart ached, her eyes became hot, and she smiled naturally, "As long as you like it."
Soon, he changed the subject: "I also bought some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar and spices. You can put them in the kitchen."
Zhao Fenglan took a quick look at the backpack, but said nothing more: "Oh, OK."
Lin Su'e put the peach cakes, egg cakes, two pairs of Liberation shoes and the remaining box of vanishing cream into her room.
It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that this is my old habit.
She was reborn, and it was not easy for her to change hastily, so she put the delicious food in the main room and let the children take it themselves.
Put it away.
When I walked out, Zhao Fenglan had already washed the lard and was cutting it.
Lin Su'e: "Do you need my help?"
Zhao Fenglan shook her head: "No, I can do it alone. Mom, you just came back, take a rest."
Lin Su'e didn't force it: "Okay, you take your time, I'll go out for a walk."
Zhao Fenglan smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mom, go shopping."
kitchen.
Zhao Fenglan watched her leave, touched the vanishing cream in her shirt pocket, and a happy and satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The other side.
Zhao Fenglan walked towards the field.
The main crops grown in the village are rapeseed and rice.
The rapeseed has entered the maturity stage and the rice has entered the heading stage. In the past few days, the team has been busy adding fertilizer to the rice. As a strong laborer, Zhao Zhenren has to work for a full 10 hours a day, which is equivalent to 10 work points.
The total amount of money distributed in a year was less than 100.
"Third wife."
A group of little kids were coming towards us.
Lin Su'e said to a little boy who had his head shaved and only had a wisp of hair on his forehead: "Sanmao, what's in your bucket?"
"Eel."
"Loach~"
"Snail."
"fish."
"And there's Xiao Long Xia."
Several children answered the question at the same time.
Lin Su'e stretched her head to take a look, wow, there were really a lot!
The eels were big and fat, rolling around in the bucket, stirring up the loaches, rice fish and dragon fish.
"You guys are going to catch them and eat them?"
Sanmao shook her head: "It's not tasty. We're going to play house."
Not tasty?
Talk nonsense.
Decades later, these wild river fish are delicacy that cannot be bought with money, costing dozens or even hundreds of dollars per pound.
Think about it.
She then realized that living conditions in the countryside are average now and oil is in short supply, so these river fish must be cooked with lots of oil and spices to taste good. How could they taste good with just a plain soup?
"Sanmao, Grandma San will give each of you a piece of peach cake. You give the things in this bucket to Grandma San. Do you want it?"
Sanmao's eyes lit up and she nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
The other five children nodded as well.
"Come back with me."
Lin Su'e looked like a mother hen, with six little chicks following her, walking in a row, which looked a bit funny.
Got back to the house.
Let the 6 little ones wash their hands first.
Nowadays, country people are not so particular, but Lin Su'e is reborn and knows that diseases come from the mouth, and she can't stand not washing hands before eating.
She handed out a piece of peach cake to each of them and said, "Okay, go play."
The six people left laughing.
"Mom, do you want to eat river food? Why do we need Sanmao and the others? Let the eldest brother, the third brother and the others... um..." A piece of peach cake was stuffed into her mouth and broke at the touch. Zhao Fenglan immediately bit it with her mouth, fearing that she would drop it.
Lin Su'e smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"
She understood that her second daughter was used to living in poverty and couldn't accept it for a while. It didn't matter, she would naturally get used to it after a while.
The other side.
Zhao Fenglan ate the crispy peach cake and forgot about her heartache for a moment.
Lin Su'e also took a piece and nodded as she ate it, thinking to herself, "What those people on the Internet said decades later is right. The food we eat now is made with real ingredients and tastes much better than the food with all kinds of additives in the future."
The mother and daughter finished their meal in silence.
Zhao Fenglan continued to boil lard.
She began to sort the river fish. The eels and loaches weighed about 3 jin together, so she put them together and would stir-fry them later. There were the most snails, at least 5 jin. She washed them, added some oil, and kept them in water to stir-fry them tomorrow. The rice fish, also known as carp, had tender and fragrant meat, so she made tofu fish soup with it. Unfortunately, there were only 6 crayfish, the local name for it, which became very popular later. She kept them together with the snails, and in the evening she would go to the ditch to catch some more to make up a few jin to stir-fry them tomorrow.
After the fish are picked, the way they will die is also arranged.
I looked at the sky and it was almost 6 o'clock. It was time to prepare dinner.
People in the country eat dinner late, usually around 7 o'clock.
As summer approaches, the days are longer and the nights are shorter, so we are not afraid of not being able to see until it gets dark; in winter, the days are shorter and the nights are longer, so we will naturally eat earlier.
Walk into the kitchen.
It just so happens that the lard is ready.
The three little ones also came back and swarmed into the kitchen, staring at the crispy lard residue.
"Sister, you are so amazing."
"Mom, it smells so good."
"Wow, so much lard?"
Lin Su'e and Zhao Fenglan looked at each other and smiled.
She fed each of them a piece of oil residue. The eldest child did not forget. Looking at the second daughter's blushing face, she smiled and said, "Take 1 jin of soybeans and exchange them for 2 pieces of tofu to cook."
"Okay, Mom."
Zhao Fenglan nodded and left.
Lin Su'e began to drive people away: "Don't gather here. There are peach cakes on the table in the main hall. Each person has one piece. No more."
"Wow!" X3
She was left alone in the kitchen.
Lin Su'e began to prepare the ingredients and thought of a recipe: stir-fried yellow eel and loach, tofu fish, and lotus root fried with lard.
