To be honest, Liangpi is not a high-end delicacy, but it is sour, spicy and refreshing, and especially appetizing.
Food!
It doesn’t have to be fancy, as long as it’s tasty and makes people happy, it’s delicious!
After dinner, He Tingjun took Yun Qiao to the military uniform factory clinic.
Before leaving, Feng Juan asked her, "Where is the food book for the family? Give it to me and I'll take care of the meals for the family from now on."
Yun Qiao was putting a scarf on her head. Hearing this, she pointed to the kitchen cabinet and said, "The side dishes are hanging on the right side of the kitchen cabinet. You can see them when you go over there."
Feng Juan walked over and saw two nails driven into the cabinet on the right side of the vegetable cupboard. The family's food and grain books were hung on it.
Yun Qiao then said, "Mom, I've already made a spare key for you. It's hanging behind the door. If you go out, don't forget to bring the key with you."
Feng Juan nodded: "I understand."
The 27th day of the first lunar month is the 22nd day of the second lunar month in the Gregorian calendar.
There is only one week left in February, and the food supply for this month is running low.
After Yun Qiao and He Tingjun went out to work, Feng Juan cleaned up the kitchen and the living room first, then went out with her letter of introduction.
She came here to take care of her pregnant daughter. She was staying with relatives and did not need to move her household registration. She only needed to transfer her food supply to the station.
To complete this procedure, Feng Juan went to the Military Resettlement Office, found a special office, and completed the procedures in less than ten minutes. The staff added her name to the non-staple food book and grain book of Yun Qiao and his wife. It will take effect on the first of next month, and then she can come back to get a new non-staple food book.
After completing the formalities, Feng Juan did not go home directly, but went to the grocery store.
There are not many fresh vegetables in the grocery store in winter. There are only common cabbages, carrots, white radishes, winter melons, and the only green leafy vegetables are a few handfuls of rapeseed, which are grown in greenhouses. A small handful weighs less than half a pound and sells for 20 cents, which is almost as expensive as a ten-pound winter melon.
However, Feng Juan was not short of money. When she came to the Northeast this time, Qin Lin gave her three thousand yuan and asked her to take care of Yunqiao's food and drink. So even though the price of rapeseed was expensive, Feng Juan still bought a bunch of it back.
Thinking Yun Qiao had a poor appetite, I could make her some tomato and dumpling soup. Using canned tomatoes, the soup would be salty with a hint of sourness, which would whet her appetite. Chopping rapeseed leaves into the soup would also provide some vitamins.
She walked around the grocery store and saw half a pig's head on the pork stall. She asked, "Master, do I need a ticket to buy a pig's head?"
The butcher shook his head and said, "No ticket is needed for pig heads."
"How much is one pound?"
"50 cents."
The pig's head was huge, weighing more than 12 pounds including bones and meat. The pot at home was not big enough to stew it. Feng Juan asked, "Master, can you split the pig's head in half? I want half."
"Okay." The butcher picked up the chopping block and swiftly cut the meat in half from the middle. He asked Feng Juan which half she wanted.
Feng Juan chose the half with the tongue.
I weighed it and it was about 150 grams. After deducting a few cents, the total was three dollars and two cents.
The butcher poked a hole in the pig's ear and strung a hemp rope through it to make it easier for Feng Juan to carry it.
Feng Juan was carrying half a pig's head home, and she attracted a lot of attention along the way.
The military wife she knew before came up to talk to her, and within half a day, the news that Captain He's mother-in-law came to the base to take care of his pregnant wife spread throughout the family compound.
