After picking up the packed food, they got up and walked out of the state-owned restaurant.
"Get in the car."
Yang Bin parked his bike in front of Song Ruan, and the third brother next to him also rode his bike next to them.
Song Ruan suddenly remembered that she had something else to do, "Can you take me to the People's Bank of Country Z first?"
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing there?"
"I want to withdraw money. Didn't I dig up wild ginseng in the mountains the other day? I sold one to someone and he gave me a bank deposit slip. I haven't withdrawn the money yet."
The third brother was surprised and asked, "How much can your wild ginseng be sold for? Why did I give you a deposit receipt?"
Song Ruan: "More than four thousand."
The third brother was stunned: "How much?"
Yang Bin curled his lips again, with the same expression as when he was eating just now, "You heard it right, your sister-in-law said more than 4,000."
After saying that, he kicked off with his right foot and set off with Song Ruan in his arms.
"Hey, wait for me." The third brother rushed up from behind, "Sister-in-law, can you reimburse me for the meal just now?"
After hearing him talking nonsense, Yang Bin pedaled faster.
The third brother chased after him, shouting in grievance, "Brother Bin, you are so dishonest. You blackmailed me for a meal and tried to shake me off by relying on your strength."
After playing and joking along the way, taking out the money and sending her back to the village, Yang Bin and Lao San turned around and rode away on their bikes.
After returning to the village, Song Ruan originally wanted to tell her parents and brothers the news first, but she didn't expect that everyone in the village also knew the news.
And everyone was gathering in the homes of people who had radios, listening to the broadcasts on the radios.
When Yang Bin proposed to her, he gave her family a radio, so there are many people gathering at her house now.
Seeing this, Song Ruan simply went back to Yang Bin's house and came back later.
After returning, Song Ruan went straight into the room and then ran into the space to count the money.
After she withdrew 4,000 yuan from the People's Bank of China, she was afraid of losing it, so she put it directly into the space.
Seeing these dozens of bundles of reunion cakes, she felt like she had become a wealthy woman and couldn't help grinning.
She planned to use the money to build a house for her family. The rest would be used as capital and to store food when the black market opened up and she could do business.
After the Chinese New Year, she started saving the money she earned and went to the city to buy a house after the spring.
Because the special period is over and the resumption of the college entrance examination is not far away, she plans to go to the town to study in the second year of high school after the busy farming season is over in the spring.
Recently, whenever she has free time, she will study the freshman year courses on her own. By the beginning of next spring, she should be able to finish studying freshman year knowledge on her own, and then she will be able to enter the second year of high school.
After distributing the money in her hand, she left the space and prepared to deal with the dozens of fish.
As Song Ruan walked out of the room, she happened to see Yang Moer walking into the backyard and immediately called her.
"Mo'er, I bought tofu and seasonings today. Let's make a fish with three flavors tonight."
Yang Moer's eyes widened immediately: "Great, great! Just hearing the name of "One Fish, Three Ways to Eat It" already makes me feel that it is delicious."
As they walked and talked, Yang's mother, who was sewing shoe soles in the lobby, heard them. She put down her work and joined in.
"Then I'll help too."
Mother Yang was also very interested in what they said about "One fish, three ways to cook it". As one of the few people in the village who liked cooking, Mother Yang thought she was a pretty good cook. But the braised fish Song Ruan made last night was indeed better than hers, so she was looking forward to today's "One fish, three ways to cook it".
Song Ruan went to prepare the necessary materials first, while Yang Moer helped by washing vegetables.
Mother Yang went to the big fish barrel and found the two largest fish, each weighing about three or four pounds, and cleaned them.
Then he asked, "What should we do with these two fish?"
"First chop off the fish head and tail, then cut the fish meat into thin slices." Song Ruan spoke without stopping her hands, preparing the marinade skillfully.
"It's done." Mother Yang is very good at knife skills. She cut the fish fillets in a short time and the thickness is just right.
Song Ruan handed over the prepared marinade, "Now you can marinate the fish fillets."
After handing over the marinade, Song Ruan washed her hands, fried the remaining fish bones, the fish head and the tail in a pan, and then stewed them with tofu.
Yang Moer helped to light the fire.
Taking advantage of the gap, Song Ruan ran to the jar of sauerkraut and took out some sauerkraut.
While Yang's mother was cutting sauerkraut, Song Ruan had already put oil in a large iron pot. After the oil was hot, she put the ginger and scallions in and stir-fried them.
By the time the aroma came out, Yang's mother had already cut the sauerkraut and it was ready to be fried.
After the aroma of pickled cabbage comes out, add two spoons of water and bring to a boil. When the soup base becomes thick, add a handful of cabbage and mixed mushrooms and cook for a while before serving.
"What should we do next?" Yang Moer made a fire while observing the steps.
"The next step is to put the marinated fish fillets in and blanch them. Once the fish fillets are cooked, take them out immediately and place them one by one on the freshly cooked sauerkraut soup base."
Song Ruan spoke as she did it, and after completing this step, she started to make the chili oil.
Clean the pan, add oil and chopped chili and stir-fry.
After frying until spicy, pour the oil and chopped chili peppers on the sauerkraut fish. The fish fillets will immediately make a sizzling sound.
"It smells so good." Yang Moer's eyes widened.
"What delicious food are you making? Why does it smell so good?" An aunt came in uninvited and stepped into the kitchen.
Only then did Yang's mother remember that she had forgotten to close the yard door.
She was not someone who did not welcome others to visit her, but she did not like the aunt in front of her.
But she was soft-hearted and wouldn't argue with anyone, so she could only purse her lips and say nothing to express her displeasure, hoping that this person would be tactful enough to leave on his own.
But the auntie was very friendly. Seeing that they were silent, she started talking to herself, "I smelled the delicious fish you cooked yesterday. Are you cooking it again today?"
As she spoke, she looked at Song Ruan who was holding the spatula, and said with a smile: "Oh, you made this? My son just happened to bring back two fish, but they haven't been cooked yet. Can you teach me this skill?"
Song Ruan's knowledge of this aunt is limited to knowing that she is from this village, but they have no interaction at all, so she doesn't know what her relationship with the Yang family is.
But when she took a look at Yang's mother who was unhappy, she began to think about it.
"Aunt, I learned this craft with money. If you want to learn it, you have to pay." Song Ruan said.
Talking about money hurts feelings, and the auntie immediately retorted, "Why do you want money just to teach me? I didn't eat your fish, why do I need money? Are you obsessed with money?"
After she finished her rant, no one present paid any attention to her. She seemed to be asking for trouble, but she was reluctant to leave.
"Then let me try it first to see if it tastes good."
As she spoke, she stretched out two black fingers, trying to grab the top thin piece of fish.
