After Fourth Brother Yang had been out for a long time thinking about the "braised pork", he forgot to ask his younger sister what fortune she had made.
However, when he thought about his younger sister's suggestion to make "braised pork" for the family in the evening, Fourth Brother Yang swallowed his saliva hard and wished he could go home right now to eat the braised pork.
When we returned to the fields, the entire Yang family was working hard, including several nephews and nieces.
Little Tiger was too young and loved to pick up wheat ears and play as he pleased. The older children did not forget to watch over him while they were picking up wheat ears.
Fourth Brother Yang put down the basket and distributed the White Rabbit candies given by his younger sister to his nephews and nieces one each. Perhaps his sister's hands were too tight, but she actually grabbed five or six candies and gave them to him.
This is the very rare and expensive White Rabbit milk candy.
Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, Daya and Erya were very happy when they got the candy.
Da Ya and Er Ya were reluctant to eat the candies and put them in their pockets.
Dahu and Erhu couldn't wait to put the candy in their mouths immediately, but Xiaohu was slow and had to rely on Dahu to help him peel the candy and put it in his mouth.
After stuffing it into his mouth, Xiaohu, who tasted the candy for the first time, was amazed. He squinted his eyes while eating, twisted his little butt and said in a baby voice, "It's delicious! Uncle, it's delicious!"
Erhu patted Xiaohu's head and said, "What do you mean uncle is delicious? It's the milk candy that's delicious!"
Erhu was scolded by Daya: "Erhu, don't hit your brother on the head! Otherwise, I will tell Auntie!"
"You snitch!" Erhu stuck out his tongue at Daya. His eyes rolled and he ran to Fourth Brother Yang to ask for candy. Unfortunately, Fourth Brother Yang only had a few candies and he gave them all to his nephews and nieces. Where could he get any candy?
When the eldest sister-in-law, Hong Xiaojuan, was harvesting wheat, she noticed that the child was eating candy and she cried out in surprise: "Uncle, where did you get the candy?"
The voice of the man who was trying to cheer Xiaojuan was loud. As soon as the sound came out, Yang's father, mother, eldest brother Yang, third sister-in-law Wang Rong and others nearby heard it and looked over.
When they saw that the children were indeed eating candy, Yang's parents also asked what was going on.
Fourth Brother Yang could only honestly say, "Dad and Mom, my little sister is back. The candy just now was given to me by my little sister!"
"My aunt has candy! I knew it!" Da Hu said proudly after sniffing his nose.
"I know that too!" Erhu said proudly.
"I know better!" Xiaohu puffed out his chest in a childish tone, as if he wanted to tell everyone that he knew best.
The eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan and the third sister-in-law Wang Rong have been very angry these days because Yang's mother did not allow the younger sister to go to the fields.
Hearing what Lao Si said, I felt even more uncomfortable.
How much pocket money did mom secretly give to my little sister behind their backs?
Where in the village can you find such a coquettish lady!
Now the Yang family is the only one who cannot go to the fields for the summer harvest.
My mother said that my younger sister was almost getting old and it would be difficult for her to find a partner because she was too tanned. They didn't say anything before and just endured it.
But they couldn't stand the fact that Yang's mother secretly gave money to their younger sister behind their backs.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard Brother Yang suddenly change the subject and say, "My little sister told us to finish our work early and go home to eat braised pork!"
"What?"
"What?"
The power of the braised pork was so great that even honest people like Father Yang and Brother Yang were blown away. The two looked at the fourth brother with disbelief.
If you don't know, you might think he was just bragging.
Fortunately, this piece of land belongs to the Yang family only.
The others were farther away and couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
"Braised pork?"
Yang's mother, eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan, and third sister-in-law Wang Rong were also wide-eyed at the mention of the braised pork by the fourth brother.
Before Hong Xiaojuan and Wang Rong could speak, Yang's mother asked, "Where did the braised pork come from? Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense. How could the young lady have so much money to buy meat?"
As she spoke, Yang's mother deliberately glanced at Hong Xiaojuan and Wang Rong, fearing that they hadn't heard her: "When my daughter went to the county town, I only gave her a few cents!"
If the fourth child hadn't mentioned "braised pork", Hong Xiaojuan and Wang Rong might have focused on the money given by Yang's mother, but now both of them were focusing on the braised pork.
That is, Yang's father, the eldest brother of the Yang family, and several children including Da Hu, Er Hu, and Daya were all focused on the braised pork.
Everyone was swallowing their saliva.
They didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten meat, let alone braised pork.
At this age, Xiaohu knows that meat is the most delicious and very hard to get, so he said in a baby voice: "Meat, I want to eat meat too!"
Mother Yang didn't believe that her daughter bought the meat. How much money did she give to her daughter? How could she not know?
"Fourth brother, did my younger sister really say that we would have braised pork for dinner?" asked Father Yang.
Yang Jianzhang had just felt a little aggrieved because his family didn't trust him, but when he heard the question from Yang's eldest brother, he immediately nodded.
If he wasn't afraid of upsetting his family, he would have told them all about the oil, white flour noodles, canned food, and large white bread that he had just seen his little sister buy.
Thinking of the big white bread, he swallowed.
Forget it, let’s just wait for them to go home and look at it themselves.
Yang Jianzhang nodded, and Yang's father immediately said to the eldest brother of the Yang family: "Let's move quickly, we can go home today after we finish cutting this crop!"
The eldest brother of the Yang family also nodded immediately.
Erhu was very clever and picked up the
Mai Sui said he was tired and wanted to go home.
As soon as Erhu mentioned it, the other children became eager to try.
These days are the summer harvest, and the children have no easier time than the adults. Even Xiaohu's face has become quite tanned from the sun.
So Father Yang simply let Da Hu and Daya take their younger brothers and sisters home first.
Shuying, who was busy in the Yang family kitchen, had no idea that the three words "braised pork" were so powerful.
She lit a fire and baked some corncakes of cornmeal.
In fact, Yang's mother would also make pancakes normally, but she was too frugal and didn't put anything in them. She just made them dry. The flour nowadays is not as fine and smooth as the flour ground by modern machines.
It tastes dry, choking, and tasteless. How can it be delicious?
Since there was no white flour, Shuying could only make pancakes with corn flour and brush a layer of cooking oil on the pancake dough.
When the dough is almost done, add salted vegetables and then fry.
In fact, Shuying would like to add some diced meat on top, so that it will be more fragrant and delicious when fried.
Unfortunately, there was only one pound of meat, which was too little, and she still had to make braised pork.
She didn't make a lot of corn cakes. Although there were large white breads, there was a lot of work to do at home recently and it was very tiring, so everyone in the family must have a big appetite.
Besides, there are more than ten people in the Yang family, and my second brother and his wife live in the city, and my third brother is building a bridge and has not returned yet.
These dozen buns can only give each person one and a half at most.
This was before Captain Chen took her two large white flour meat buns.
There were simply too many people in the family and the buns couldn't be divided among them, otherwise she might have given only two large white flour meat buns to Team Leader Chen who had helped her.
She really can't afford it now.
Shuying thought to herself that she would repay Captain Chen after she made some money.
After the corn and savory pancakes were baked one by one, Shuying tasted half a piece and found that it tasted quite good, fragrant and delicious.
She put the dough aside, looked at the weather outside and saw that it was getting dark, so she prepared to make braised pork.
Wash one pound of braised pork and cut it into pieces. There is only one pound, and she cuts the pieces into moderately large and small pieces, enough for each person in the family to eat two or three pieces.
When she was making braised pork, she found that she had no rock sugar, so she simply used tasteless hard candy instead.
Blanch them first. Since there is no cooking wine, she only blanchs the green onions and ginger.
After blanching, add oil and sugar to stir-fry sugar color, put the pork belly in, fry it slightly, and then add the brine she redeemed from the mall.
Add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, scallions and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Suddenly the kitchen was filled with fragrance.
She was worried that there was no soy sauce at home, but fortunately there was some soy sauce at home.
This was because the original owner's second brother was beaten up last time when he came back from the county town, and was scolded by Yang's mother.
host
Nowadays, people in the countryside are reluctant to use cooking oil, let alone soy sauce. At most, they just add salt.
Compared with Yang's mother's frugality, Shuying is willing to spend more.
She added soy sauce and water to cover the meat, and kept cooking it over medium-low heat.
Soon, the aroma of broth and meat wafted out from the lid of the pot.
Even though Shuying had eaten a big white bread for lunch, he felt a little greedy when he smelled the increasingly fragrant aroma.
Maybe it was because the food smelled so good, a neighbor asked across the wall, "Yang, what did you cook tonight? It smells so good!"
Before Shuying could return home, the sounds of several radishes were heard from home.
"Aunt!"
"Aunt!"
Ever since Shuying gave candies to her nephews and nieces, they have been very close to her.
Look, Shuying is still busy in the kitchen, Xiaohu runs to the kitchen first and hugs her legs with a dependent look.
Daya and Erya were very sensible and sat opposite the stove watching the fire.
Da Hu and Er Hu were fighting beside the stove, swallowing their saliva wildly.
The two of them were not even as tall as the stove, so Dahu and Erhu stood on tiptoe, grabbed the edge of the stove with their hands, and swallowed saliva wildly.
They had never smelled anything so delicious since they were born. It was so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues before they even tasted it.
Erhu's eyes rolled and he said coquettishly, "Aunt, what did you do? It smells so good!"
As Erhu spoke, he wanted to use his black claws to lift the lid of the pot to take a look.
They were blocked by the shadow of the tree, mainly because the pot was hot. I didn't want to burn my two nephews, so I filled a basin with cool water and asked the nephews and nieces to wash their black paws first.
Shuying, who was good at cooking delicious food, was now very dignified in the hearts of her nephews and nieces. They were afraid that she would not give them meat, so they washed their black paws cleanly.
While the meat was cooking, Shuying took a washcloth and wiped the faces of his nephews and nieces one by one.
Thinking about how kids of her generation were all very picky about food and drink, and how her own nephews and nieces had to pick wheat ears every day, Shuying felt so distressed and soft-hearted.
I took a piece of salted vegetable corn tortilla to fill the stomachs of my three nephews and two nieces. There was too much braised pork to give to them.
Shuying prepared a small bowl of braised pork soup for them to taste.
Shuying doesn't discriminate between boys and girls. She feeds Xiaohu, both her nephews and nieces.
The first time I ate braised pork soup with a few radishes, my tongue really wanted to swallow them, and I screamed loudly.
Not only the braised pork soup, but also the eyes of the little radishes who had tasted the salted vegetable pancakes lit up when Shuying took out the big white bread to heat it up.
Several radishes stared with wide eyes.
"Aunt!"
"Aunt!"
Around six in the evening, Yang's father, mother, eldest brother and other family members got off work and went home.
After entering the door, the overbearing aroma of braised pork filled the entire Yang family courtyard.
Yang's father, Yang's mother, Yang's eldest brother, Yang Jianzhang, Hong Xiaojuan, Wang Rong and others smelled the fragrance and swallowed their saliva wildly.
Be good!
My little sister is not going to really make braised pork, is she?
Even the calm father and eldest brother of the Yang family became excited: "Did my little sister really make braised pork?"
