Chapter 69: Qingming Rice Cake, would you like to try one?
Jiang Rou came out of the Lingbao space first, then held the apple in one hand and touched the jade ring on her neck with the other.
In the blink of an eye, I entered the "Taoduoduo Mall".
[Dear owner, welcome to the space system. Your Taoduoduo Mall has been opened and is running stably. You can use it at any time. ]
Jiang Rou opened [Jiang Xiaoer Grocery Store] and started creating products.
Taoduoduo Mall has a magical big data identification system. For all uploaded products, the store owner does not need to fill in any relevant information, and the system will automatically generate data.
All Jiang Rou had to do was place the product - an apple - in the location designated by the system and have it scanned.
After the apples are placed.
Jiang Rou clicked “Next”.
[System kindly reminds you that the upload failed. You did not place the product at the designated location. Please check.]
[The system kindly reminds you that the upload failed. You did not place the product in the specified location. Please check.]
[System reminder: upload failed. You did not place the product at the specified location. Please check...]
Jiang Rou tried several times in one breath, but got the same warm reminder only.
She looked at the product box containing the apples, and then at the system reminders that continued to pop up.
Finally...
You can only choose to give up.
It seems that the two systems are incompatible.
It's like two different systems. If an iOS software is put into an Android system, it cannot be recognized and used at all.
The products that can be sold in "Taoduoduo Mall" must be from the real world.
It seems that although God has given her a golden finger, he has not allowed her to achieve everything in one go and gain it without any effort.
Although Jiang Rou felt regretful, she was not too sad.
It's so late at night, and I'm so tired from all the trouble.
Jiang Rou left the system, yawned sleepily, and then fell asleep in a daze.
When she fell asleep, she was holding a big red apple in her hand.
…
The next day.
Zhou Chongshan is currently in charge of the soldiers' morning drills, so he has to get up at four in the morning.
The sky outside was still pitch black without a trace of light.
He got up in the dark without turning on the light.
After getting dressed, he looked at the three people on the bed.
His wife, son, and daughter.
Normally, Zhou Chongshan would just tidy up the quilts, and when he saw that they were sleeping soundly, he would leave with peace of mind.
But today.
The rough man has a different kind of tenderness.
Before leaving, he kissed Jiang Rou on the forehead and then kissed Zhou Xiaohua.
The little girl was still sleeping with her arms and legs spread out, her belly exposed.
Zhou Chongshan stuffed Zhou Xiaohua into the quilt and covered her carefully.
It was probably these actions that woke up Zhou Xiaochuan who was standing nearby.
Zhou Xiaochuan opened his eyes in a daze and saw the blurry figure of Zhou Chongshan.
"dad……"
"Tsk."
Zhou Chongshan lowered his voice and made a hissing sound.
He touched Zhou Xiaochuan's forehead, lowered his head and touched it, and said softly, "Xiaochuan, Dad is going out, you go back to sleep."
"Yeah, Dad."
Zhou Chongshan looked at Zhou Xiaochuan and closed his eyes.
After waiting for a while, he turned around and left.
But the warmth he left behind burned on the boy's forehead for a long time.
…
In the next week.
Without Zhou Chongshan at home, Jiang Rou's life seemed to be unchanged, yet it also seemed to have changed a little.
During the day, she was either busy dealing with a pile of wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, or taking advantage of others not paying attention, she would enter the Lingbao space and diligently develop her planting business.
Even without a mobile phone to entertain myself, I am still busy.
Wait until night.
There was no nightlife in the 1970s, and it got dark very early on the island.
Moreover, the power system is not very stable and there will be sudden power outages from time to time.
So every household goes to bed early.
Every time at this time, Jiang Rou lay in bed, her thoughts turning over and over, and she couldn't help but think of Zhou Chongshan.
Did she miss him so much?
Jiang Rou had never expected such feelings.
In a relationship, it's not just one person who is moved, but the give-and-take relationship between you and me is the most moving.
She really is... a little bit like that rough guy.
In the blink of an eye.
It's Qingming Festival.
Jiang Rou has been planning to make green rice dumplings and Qingming rice cakes on the Qingming Festival.
So early in the morning, I started to be busy inside and outside.
She tied her long, shiny, black hair into two braids that hung on her shoulders. She wore a white triangular headscarf on her head and a pair of white sleeves on her hands.
After dressing like this, I feel like a chef in a restaurant.
The feeling of ceremony is enough.
The first thing Jiang Rou had to do was to prepare the fillings for the Qingtuan and Qingming rice cakes - salted vegetables and bamboo shoots.
The pickled vegetable used is snow lettuce, which is also called snow vegetable in some places. It is a very common pickled vegetable in the south and is available in every household.
The pickled vegetables that Jiang Rou had were given to her by her sister-in-law in the compound.
The pickled vegetables that have been pickled for a whole winter have a sour and fragrant taste after fermentation, and they taste particularly refreshing and appetizing.
Bamboo shoots are the wild bamboo shoots that Jiang Rou picked.
Peel all the wild bamboo shoots to reveal the white and green flesh. You can blanch them in hot water with a little salt.
This will remove some of the unpleasant smell from the bamboo shoots.
When eaten, the bamboo shoots are more tender and more delicious.
Then chop the pickled vegetables and bamboo shoots into fine dices.
At the same time, you also need to prepare some other ingredients.
They are:
① Chopped scallions. The chopped scallions only have the white part at the root, which will taste more tender.
② Dried onion. I bought the dried onion from Taoduoduo Mall, one dollar a piece. It’s convenient and simple. The small white particles are mixed in the stuffing. If you don’t have a very sensitive tongue, you can’t taste them at all.
③The most important thing, of course, is pork.
I bought three pounds of pork belly from the supply and marketing cooperative, exchanged one pound for millet, and the remaining two pounds were eaten every day and had long been finished.
I bought it from Taoduoduo Mall.
Pork is cheap recently. You can buy top-quality pork belly for only fifteen yuan.
Jiang Rou cut the whole piece of pork belly into even-sized pieces.
Now that everything is ready, you can turn on the fire, heat the pot, and add oil.
After the oil is hot, pour in the minced meat first.
Stir-fry over high heat until fragrant; the fat in the meat will seep out little by little.
The minced meat rolled in the oil pan, turning shiny.
The fragrance instantly filled the whole room.
Zhou Xiaohua was originally in the yard, happily playing with the chicks. As soon as she smelled the fragrance, she immediately ran to the kitchen on her short legs.
She was not even as tall as the stove, and she stood on tiptoe to see what delicious food Jiang Rou was making.
Jiang Rou took a distracted look and shouted at Zhou Xiaochuan.
"Xiaochuan, move the stool over here so Xiaohua can stand on it. Keep it a little further away so she doesn't get splashed with oil."
"I see."
Zhou Xiaochuan immediately moved a small stool and carried Zhou Xiaohua on it.
Zhou Xiaohua could finally see clearly without having to lift her head.
Zhou Xiaochuan seemed to be protecting Zhou Xiaohua, and did not leave the kitchen because he was afraid that she would fall.
In fact, the little wolf's eyes were always fixed on the iron pot.
Still sparkling with curiosity.
