There is only one last dish left for Liang Qi’s pork dish, and that is vermicelli noodles.
These vermicelli noodles were made from the starch that settled in the water after she washed the potatoes. She poured them together and accumulated them little by little, and in this way she saved up a lot.
Finally, put them together, add water, stir and settle to remove the mud.
The starch flour turned out to be particularly white. Today Liang Qi took out some, boiled it in boiling water and mixed it together. Then he formed it into a dough, rolled it into sheets, and cut it into strands.
Finally, spread it on the meat and radish, and pour a spoonful of broth down the side of the pot.
Wait and cook for another five minutes so that the vermicelli on top is perfectly shaped and not easily torn.
Liang Qi opened the pot and stir-fried it for a few times. It smelled really good! The food cooked with salt and peppercorns was really fragrant.
Although it looks a bit white without soy sauce, it tastes delicious.
The thin corn tortillas stuck to the edge of the pot also smell sweet.
"Wow! Mom, it smells so good!" The children gathered around the pot and inhaled hard.
"Then eat more later." Liang Qi shoveled the corn tortillas sticking to the edge of the pot onto the plate one by one.
"Yeah, I'll definitely eat a big bowl." Little Phoenix's eyes sparkled with joy.
"Okay, I'll serve you a big bowl of meat and vegetables." Liang Qi served the child a full bowl and half a bowl for himself.
"Yeah." She grinned cutely, with faint dimples.
Liang Qi handed the bowl to the child, who held the bowl carefully, fearing that he would fall and break the bowl.
Liang Qi quickly reached out to help the child put the bowl on the kang table. The kang in the upper room was not heated, and it was cold at night, so the kitchen was warm.
Liang Qi took the kang table to the kitchen, and the mother and daughter had a delicious meal together.
"Mom, I can't finish it." The child stood up with his belly sticking out.
He must have eaten too much. Liang Qi had made the child look a little fairer during this period, so the child wouldn't be hungry as long as he had food to eat.
Today's meal was also a normal portion, with not many vegetables and lean meat.
"If you can't finish it, give it to mom and I'll help you finish it." Liang Qi was also afraid that the child would get diarrhea if he ate too much fatty meat, so she only gave him lean meat.
Liang Qi finished the food in his own bowl and then finished the food in his child's bowl. Today was also the day he ate the most.
"Go walk in the yard to help digest the food. When mom finishes cleaning up, we'll go find your grandma Agui." Liang Qi tapped her daughter's nose.
The child smiled like a little peony.
"I'm waiting for Mom."
It was getting dark. Liang Qi cleaned up the kitchen, found a basket, put a large bowl of meat and vegetables and three corn tortillas in it, and picked up the three pounds of pork belly on the chopping board.
Liang Qi took the big lock and locked the door, then pulled it hard and it was locked.
Taking advantage of the night, the mother and daughter went out.
"Mom, it's so dark." The child grabbed the clothes being measured in fear.
"Come, let mommy hold you." Liang Qi picked up the child, holding the basket and meat in one hand.
It will be there in less than a few minutes.
“Knock knock!”
"Who is it?" Zhang Guishu asked cautiously from inside.
"It's me, Grandma. Baby Phoenix is here," the child whispered.
Liang Qi wanted to laugh when she heard it. What kind of nickname was this? It was the first time she heard her daughter speak in such a cute baby voice.
"Oh, it's our baby." He opened the door, took the child's hand and went into the house.
"Yeah, it's our baby." The baby's voice responded softly, and the grandma and grandson walked into the house while talking happily in low voices.
Liang Qi closed the door and followed his grandmother and grandson into the upper room.
"Qi Qi, what's the matter?" Zhang Guishu had just finished speaking when she saw the basket and a few pieces of meat in Liang Qi's hands.
"Aunt Agui, I've filled a bowl for you with the meat dishes I made, and this meat." Liang Qi found a clean place on the table to put the meat down, and then took out the vegetables and pancakes from the basket.
"Why did you take so much meat? Take it back quickly and save it for the children," Zhang Guishu looked at Liang Qi in surprise and stuffed it into Liang Qi's hands.
"Aunt, this is specially for you. My children and I have kept some for ourselves. It's enough for us to eat. Don't refuse. Take it!" Liang Qi held the old woman's hand.
"Auntie gives you money, but I can't take your meat for free." As she said this, she was about to search her pockets.
"Aunt, this is my way of showing filial piety to you. You help me take care of the children. This is also what Xiao Fenghuang wanted. Don't believe me? Go and ask." Liang Qi looked at the old lady with a look of displeasure on her face.
When the child heard her mother mention her, she cleverly received her mother's signal that it was time for her to perform.
The little mouth pried open and said: "Grandma, this is given to you by mom and me, you must take it, otherwise how will I come to see you next time."
Zhang Guishu looked at the child blinking his big watery eyes, which made people feel very cute.
"That's right, auntie, the children asked you to keep it. Otherwise, how can I have the nerve to ask you to help me take care of Little Phoenix in the future?" Liang Qi talked for a while before getting the old woman to accept the pork.
"Okay, then I'll accept it. Thank you and Xiao Fenghuang for thinking of an old woman like me." Zhang Guishu's husband and son died for their country, leaving her, an old widower, to live in this world.
The only time you see so much meat is when she was young and her husband comes home to visit.
Suddenly receiving so much meat reminded her of her deceased husband and children. Even though they were poor at that time, they were happy.
"Auntie, you always help me take care of little Phoenix. I am so grateful. From now on, you will be my relative and little Phoenix's grandmother."
Liang Qi held the old man's hand and said solemnly.
"Can I... really do it?" Zhang Guishu never thought that in her lifetime, there would be someone willing to recognize her, a good-for-nothing old woman.
"Very good. Xiao Fenghuang is my only relative. Besides, can Xiao Fenghuang's relatives be considered relatives? It's already very good if you don't find fault for a day." Liang Qi looked at the wrinkled face of the old man and his smile slowly blossomed into a chrysanthemum.
Zhang Guishu felt both happy and sad. She thought that this would be how her second half of life would be, and she would die of old age in this yard.
No one cared about her after her death, but I didn’t expect that someone is taking care of her in her old age now.
"Grandma!" Little Phoenix's loud voice woke up Zhang Guishu who was daydreaming.
"Hey, grandma is here." Zhang Guishu picked up the little phoenix. How could this precious baby be so heartwarming?
The grandparents and grandchildren kept chatting and had endless things to say. The sleepy child had already fallen asleep on the kang.
Seeing Liang Qi about to leave, Zhang Guishu quickly called out, "Qiqi, you should just sleep here today. The child is asleep. What if you catch a cold from carrying him around in such cold weather? I, your aunt, still want to talk to you. I have so much to say."
Liang Qi looked at the child and thought that the kang at home was not heated and it must be very cold at night. The doors of the house were locked.
It was really cold outside carrying the child, and she didn't want to walk anymore and was too lazy to move.
"Okay," Liang Qi closed the door, took off his shoes and got on the kang.
