Chapter 246 Daily Life



"If you like it, I'll make it a few more times. I thought you wouldn't be used to eating pickled vegetables," said Tong Yiya.

"What's there to be unaccustomed to? When we first came here, we had nothing to eat, so we even dug up grass roots from the mountains and made soup. These delicious wild vegetables were considered good food for us at that time. This is mainly because of your good cooking skills. I've seen other people use raw sauce when eating pickled vegetables, and they are reluctant to add any oil or water. I'm sure it won't be as delicious as the one you fry with eggs," said Mr. Zhang

"I learned to cook it this way because I heard someone say it tastes good," said Tong Yiya

"This is a local delicacy. It is simple and convenient. People here have researched various ways to eat it."

The two chatted for a while. After dinner, Tong Yiya cleaned up the dishes and washed them. She also boiled some hot water for Mr. Zhang and filled the thermos before taking Yuanyuan back to their yard.

In the next two days, Tong Yiya soaked some soybeans at home, thinking of steaming some beans and crushing them into paste, so that she could make some soybean paste later.

In the past few years, she has made the soybean paste for the family. When Fu Shinian and the others first came here, they were not used to eating soybean paste. Later, after eating the food cooked by Tong Yiya, they got used to the taste of soybean paste.

So she is preparing to have more harvest this year so that the family can have a good meal.

She first soaked the soybeans, then boiled them in a pot for a whole day, steamed the soybeans until they were completely broken into pieces when squeezed, and then left them overnight. After they cooled down, she manually made the soybeans into bean paste. Then, after adding yeast, she made them into brick-shaped blocks, wrapped them with a layer of white paper, and placed them in a high place to ferment for a while.

After making the sauce, Fu Shinian and the others went home to rest again. That day, Tong Yiya was watering the vegetable garden in the yard.

"Xiao Ya, we're back." Fu Shinian's voice spread into the yard before he arrived.

When Tong Yiya heard the voice, she stopped what she was doing, stood up and looked towards the gate. After a while, she saw Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing walking in pushing their bicycles, with some things on the back seats of their bicycles.

"I'm back, come in and take a rest," Tong Yiya said with a smile

"Well, are you watering the vegetables? Wait, I'll park the car and come help water it," said Fu Shinian

"No, that's all I have left to water. You must be tired after getting back from get off work, so just find a place to sit down and rest for a while," Tong Yiya said hurriedly.

"I'm not tired. I usually sit in the car, and I have to move my legs and feet properly when I come back," said Fu Shinian. After parking the car, he walked into the vegetable garden, took the gourd ladle from her hand, bent down and started working.

Guard Dong couldn't bear to see the two of them showing off their affection to him, so he parked the car, said hello to Tong Yiya, took the things they brought back, and went back to his room.

"Since you have done the watering job, I will go to prepare dinner. Do you want to eat anything?" Tong Yiya asked

"I'm fine with it. I love whatever you cook," Fu Shinian replied.

"Then I'll make a stir-fry tonight and add some pickled vegetables. How about the egg sauce?" Tong Yiya asked again

"Okay, you do as you see fit." Fu Shinian had no objection.

Seeing that he really had no requirements, Tong Yiya washed her hands and went into the kitchen.

After steaming the buns in the kitchen, she came out with a basket, picked some peppers, cabbages, and tomatoes from the vegetable garden, washed them at the well, and went back to the kitchen.

Quickly cut all the side dishes, beat two eggs and set aside.

After the steamed buns in the pot are done, she starts to cook. Today she cooked eggplant with peppers, and pepper and egg sauce, and paired it with the wild vegetables she dug up yesterday, as well as some home-grown cabbage, cucumber, green onions and other vegetables, which she ate as dip in pickles.

Looking at the dishes on the table in the evening, everyone was very satisfied. The weather was too hot, and they had no appetite for the hot food. It would be the happiest thing to eat some pickled vegetables or cold dishes at this time.

After the meal, Fu Shinian cleaned up the dishes. Tong Yiya took Yuanyuan back to the room first. She poured water and gave Yuanyuan a bath.

Just after I finished washing Yuanyuan and carried her back to the kang to dress her, Fu Shinian came back.

Seeing Yuanyuan's bath water on the ground, he consciously took it out and poured it out.

He returned to the room and asked Tong Yiya, "Xiaoya, do you want to wash one?"

"You need to take a shower. If you don't take a shower in this weather, you'll feel sticky and uncomfortable. But there's no hot water left. Go boil some water for me," Tong Yiya said.

"Okay, I'll go and burn it now. You can take the child to play on the kang for a while," said Fu Shinian.

"Yeah, okay."

After Fu Shinian went to boil water, Tong Yiya took out a copy of the Three Character Classic and let Yuanyuan play by himself while she read the classic to him.

Not long after, Fu Shinian came in carrying a wooden bucket of water. He walked behind the curtain and poured the water into the bathtub. Then he went back and forth several times to mix the water before looking at Yuanyuan and letting Tong Yiya go take a bath first.

By the time the family had finished taking a bath and were lying on the kang, it was around 9:30 in the evening. Fu Shinian drained the water from the bathtub, came back, closed the door, got on the kang, and handed the money they earned from the black market to Tong Yiya.

This time the harvest was about the same as the last time, about 90 yuan, and some supplementary food coupons.

"How long will the food at home last? Do you want me to buy some from the black market next time?" Fu Shinian asked

"There are still a lot. Most of the food we distributed after last year's autumn harvest is still here. You all don't eat at home, so Grandpa Zhang and I can't eat much either." Tong Yiya returned

In fact, there was not much food left. Some of the food in the cellar was taken out by her from the space. Even though she was the one cooking at home now, no one went to the cellar often, so no one knew how much food was consumed.

"Don't be too frugal with your food. Guard Dong and I can get food every month in the city. Next time we come back, I will bring back the food and vegetables for the next two months with him, and then see if we can buy some from outside," said Fu Shinian.

"Instead of buying outside, it would be better to wait until after the summer harvest and buy in our village. This will not only increase the village's income, but also be much cheaper," Tong Yiya suggested.

Fu Shinian thought so and nodded, saying, "That's right, let's go ask around during the summer harvest and buy some for the family."

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow." Tong Yiya felt a little sleepy. Thinking that the man had been busy outside all day, she interrupted what he was about to say.

Seeing that his wife had started to yawn, Fu Shinian said nothing more. He pulled her into his arms, hugged her, closed his eyes and rested.

It wasn't long before the two of them fell asleep, and the only sounds in the room were the three steady breathings.

When Tong Yiya got up the next day, Fu Shinian had already gone out to work.
