After more than two months here, Aunt Juan in the city sent her a letter asking her if she had prepared her winter clothes and whether she wanted her to exchange some cotton coupons from the city and buy some cotton to make quilts and clothes and send them to her.

The other family had a whole family to feed, so how could Tong Yiya take her food? She wrote back to her and said that she had prepared everything. She also sent her some dried mushrooms, which she had picked when she went up the mountain to dig for herbs after the rain.

She couldn't finish it all by herself, so she rinsed it and dried it in the sun. She also gave some to Aunt Guihua, and when she saw that there was still a lot left, she thought of sending some to Aunt Juan in the city.

The letter and the things have been sent out more than ten days ago. I think Aunt Juan should have received them now. She also wrote in her reply that she would not go to the commune before the New Year, and asked Aunt Juan not to worry if she did not have time to reply. She should wait until spring comes here and pick up the letter and then reply to her.

Tong Yiya got up early the next day. Before daybreak, she went to the kitchen to heat up some pig intestines, cut them and put them on a plate. She also cut some blood sausage and cooked some sauerkraut. Then she took the food she wanted to deliver this time and went out to deliver it to the hut.

When she came to deliver something now, she did the same as before. She knocked on the door, put the things down, and left quickly.

It is now the end of November, and there is still more than a month to the Chinese New Year. Tong Yiya heard from Aunt Guihua last time that they would start frying various meatballs a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the village reservoir would also release water in a few days to start fishing. Half of the fish would then have to be handed in, and the rest would be shared among the families in the team.

Aunt Guihua said that fried meatballs and fried fish are both delicious. Tong Yiya likes them very much, so she said that she would go to Aunt Guihua to learn how to make fried meatballs when she has time.

She happened to be free today, and she thought that frying meatballs would require a lot of oil, so she planned to ask Aunt Guihua to come home to teach her. She first prepared the things needed for frying meatballs that her aunt had mentioned last time, and took them to the kitchen so that she could take them later.

Today Tong Yiya is preparing to fry two kinds of meatballs, one is radish meatballs, which requires radish, eggs and flour.

There is also a tofu meatball, which requires tofu, a little pork, eggs, flour, green onions and ginger, which are also available at home. Everything else is available at home, but the tofu needs to be exchanged at the villager’s house who often sells tofu at the entrance of the village.

She took out what she had and prepared it first, and took out a piece of meat and put it in warm water to thaw it. Then she put on gloves and a hat and went out. She first went to the tofu seller at the entrance of the village and bought three pieces of tofu, preparing to take half back and freeze it, and crush the other half into fried meatballs.

On her way back, she passed by Aunt Guihua's house and knocked on the door and called out, "Is Aunt Guihua home?"

After a while, a female voice came from the yard and asked, "Who is at home?"

"It's me, Tong Zhiqing," Tong Yiya replied quickly.

After a while, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and Aunt Guihua said, "Why are you here? It's so cold outside, come in and warm up."

"No, auntie. Last time I said I wanted to learn how to make fried meatballs from you. Today I just wanted to come over and ask if you are free. I want you to come to my house and teach me how to make fried meatballs," Tong Yiya said.

Aunt Guihua heard that she was asked to teach how to fry meatballs. She thought about it and realized that she had nothing to do at home today, so she said, "I don't have anything to do today. Wait a minute, I'll go tell your uncle and we'll go to your house."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm not in a hurry," Tong Yiya replied.

Aunt Guihua turned around and went into the house to tell Uncle Deng that she was going to Tong Zhiqing's house to teach him how to make fried meatballs. After a while, she came out wearing a headscarf.

She walked to the gate of the courtyard and went to the small courtyard with Tong Yiya. When they arrived at Tong Yiya's house, they went into the house to warm up first. Tong Yiya poured a bowl of hot sugar water for Aunt Guihua, and she went to the kitchen to heat up the water on the stove.

After Aunt Guihua finished drinking the sweet soup, the two of them went into the kitchen and began to prepare the ingredients for the fried meatballs. First, they peeled and chopped the radish, minced the meat, and chopped the ginger and green onions for later use.

Then chop the tofu, add minced meat, eggs, flour, ginger and chopped green onion, add appropriate amount of salt and pepper, then mix all the ingredients evenly, and use your hands to mix until it becomes a sticky mass.

The other kind of meatballs is similar, except that you add a little more flour to the radish, then two eggs, chopped green onion and ginger, and salt and pepper, and mix until it becomes sticky and can form a ball.

Once the batter for both kinds of fried meatballs is ready, you can scoop out the water from the pot, dry the pot and pour in the soybean oil.

Aunt Guihua would give instructions from time to time, telling us exactly how much salt and eggs to put in each ingredient and what kind of fried meatballs would taste better. She explained everything very clearly.

Most of the time, Tong Yiya does it herself, with Aunt Guihua teaching her. Now they start frying.

Aunt Guihua looked at the oil in the pot, picked up a chopstick, dipped some noodles in it and put it into the pot and said, "When you fry, dip the chopsticks in some noodles to test the oil. If you put the chopsticks in and there are a lot of bubbles around and a frying sound, it means it is about 70% hot, and you can start frying the meatballs now."

Aunt Guihua took out the chopsticks and then looked at Tong Yiya and asked, "How do you squeeze the meatballs?"

"Aunt, I know this, can we get off now?" Tong Yiya asked

"Okay, it will be faster if we do it together," Aunt Guihua said, and asked Tong Yiya to carry the batter for the tofu balls to the stove first. The two of them stood on both sides of the basin and started to put the balls into the pot.

They cooked quickly, and soon a layer of meatballs floated in the pot. When half of them were in, Aunt Guihua called Tong Yiya to stop and said, "Let's fry this pot in two pots. Bring the colander over so you can pick out the yellow ones in the pot now."

The two of them quickly took out the whole pot, waited for the oil temperature to rise again, fried it again, and then took it out.

The meatballs that followed were fried in the same way. Soon they were all fried and two large bowls of meatballs were formed. Tong Yiya took two large bowls, filled one with meat and gave it to Aunt Guihua to take back to eat.

Aunt Guihua didn't refuse. She took it and said, "I'll fry some meatballs before the New Year and bring some to you to try. Next time you fry other meatballs, you'll be able to fry them as long as you know what the ingredients are."

"Okay, I have to thank you for taking up your time today," Tong Yiya said with a smile.

"Why waste time? I don't have anything to do at home. Okay, I'll go back first. You have to clean up the back yourself," said Aunt Guihua

"Okay, then be careful when you go back," Tong Yiya said as she followed her and sent her out the door. After she watched her walk away, she went back to the kitchen, put the fried meatballs in the cupboard, and filtered the oil in the pot into the oil tank.

She boiled a pot of water in the back and scrubbed the table and stove in the kitchen. Since there was no one else around, she added some dishwashing liquid to the water, otherwise there would be oil everywhere.

After wiping the countertops clean, I swept up the carrot peels and other things that had fallen on the floor, and only then could I say that I had cleaned the kitchen quickly.
