Come in.
When Lu Qinglin saw Su Tangxue's depressed expression, he knew that Lu Shan was definitely not at home.
"I boiled two eggs on the table. Eat them while they're hot."
Lu Qinglin set up the firewood and pointed at the eggs he had just cooked on the table.
Hearing about food, Su Tangxue's eyes came back to her senses, "Who gave it to you? Don't we have no eggs at home?"
Su Tangxue picked up the egg and looked at it again and again.
Weren’t all the eggs at home used up the last time she made breakfast?
How come there is more?
"When you left home just now, your aunt came over and gave you two eggs and a chick. She said they were hatched in the chicken coop at home yesterday."
After hearing Lu Qinglin say that her aunt had come and brought a chick, Su Tangxue couldn't wait to go to the chicken coop.
The chicken coop was converted from an old house and is located in a corner on the east side of the house. Because the foundation of that house was unstable when it was built and it had not been maintained for many years, the walls had some cracks, so Lu Qinglin cleaned up that room and used it as a chicken coop.
Although it is not called a chicken coop, the chickens and birds she brought back have always been kept in it.
She also thought about raising some hens so that they could lay eggs for later consumption, but laying hens were so rare these days that no one would easily sell them unless the family was in financial difficulty and had no choice.
She could only settle for the next best thing and raise a chick from scratch. She had just mentioned it to Lu Qinglin yesterday, and someone delivered it the next day.
As soon as I felt sleepy, someone brought me a pillow.
A few nights ago, due to improper supervision, two of the three little birds she brought back were eaten by mice, and now there is only the last one left in the nest.
After that, Lu Qinglin started to take care of the chicken coop.
Lu Qinglin made a wooden board partition at the entrance of the chicken coop, so Su Tangxue could see inside just by standing at the entrance.
Lu Qinglin had enclosed the chickens sent by his aunt-in-law with a fence, and put water and some cooked rice inside.
Looks good, but a little lonely.
Su Tangxue was thinking in her heart that after Lu Qinglin left, she would go out in the dark to see if there were any extra chicks. She could raise a few more to eat for eggs in the future, or kill them for meat during the holidays.
The next day, when Linzi came to return the bicycle, she remembered that the book mentioned that Linzi was involved in the underworld. Ning Honglian made a lot of money through Linzi in the underworld speculation and profiteering.
Although she didn't know how to cook, she also wanted to go shopping in the dark and buy some necessities that were not often available in the supply and marketing cooperative.
At least this way, I don't have to look at Liu Qianqian's face anymore.
After looking at the chicks, Su Tangxue returned to the kitchen. She did not forget her mission for the next day.
Although Lu Shan didn't come, she still had to do what she was supposed to do.
When she returned, Lu Qinglin was already preparing to boil oil.
"What do you need me to do?" She lifted up her shirt sleeves on both sides, eager to try.
Lu Qinglin raised his eyes and glanced at her. "Just add some firewood to heat up the water."
"good."
Su Tangxue methodically lit the fire and heated the pot. As soon as the water started to boil, Lu Qinglin cut the lard and put it in.
He rinsed it with water first and then fried it.
The scalding hot pan collides with the fat-rich pork fat.
Soon, the crackling sound of oil was heard in the pot, and a unique rich aroma of oil filled the air.
In just a few moments, a pot full of white oil will soon turn golden and crispy!
Lu Qinglin found a clean jar, put peppercorns and salt in the bottom, and then poured the oil into the jar little by little.
When the oil was boiling just now, Su Tangxue was already drooling at the golden oil residue in the pot. Now that Lu Qinglin had just scooped out the oil, she couldn't wait to grab a piece.
As a result, because the fried oil residue was too hot, Su Tangxue could only perform acrobatics back and forth.
