Chapter 34
Finally, when Lin Qingqing left the carpenter's house, she did not exchange for food, but she did exchange for a lot of other things.
First, three catties of white sesame seeds and eight catties of black sesame seeds, but she did not bring the eight catties of black sesame seeds because she asked the carpenter's wife to grind them into black sesame powder for her. This was free of charge and tickets. Lin Qingqing wanted to charge the carpenter's family for five and a half taels of oil, but in order to thank the carpenter's wife for her help, she negotiated with them and gave them six taels of oil.
The second thing was peanuts. The carpenter's wife helped her exchange ten kilograms of peanuts and a can of peanut butter. The peanut butter was very convenient, it was freshly made. The family said that if Lin Qingqing still wanted peanut butter, she could tell them and they would make it and trade with her, because in this era, homemade food does not have preservatives and is easy to spoil, so it is not durable. These things were exchanged by Lin Qingqing with a shoe ticket and a half-kilogram sugar ticket.
Lu Cheng's shoes were issued by the army, Lin Qingqing's shoes were bought and made by Lin's family, and Lu Haici's shoes were also good, so when Lin Qingqing saw that the other party wanted shoe tickets, she agreed to exchange.
Originally, Lin Qingqing only exchanged for sesame and peanuts, but other families found out about the ticket exchange... Then she exchanged for three pounds of clam meat, two pounds of dried seaweed, and five pounds of dried shrimp.
It turned out that this brigade was just over the mountain and there was the sea, so everyone often went to the beach when they were free. Going to the beach to pick up some seafood is different from going up the mountain to hunt, probably because the seafood is small, so it won't be said to be digging into the country's wall. However, these small seafood can also accumulate into a lot.
In the end, Lin Qingqing not only exchanged almost all the idle tickets, but also took out a dollar.
But for Lin Qingqing, this trip was very worthwhile.
Lin Qingqing arrived here at around two o'clock, waited here for more than an hour, and returned to the family compound at three thirty.
"Hai Ci..." She saw Lu Hai Ci sitting in the yard, his chin resting on his little hand
. Ji Yang, who played with him at noon, didn't seem to be there, and he looked a little lonely. "Mom..." Hai Ci's eyes lit up, and he stood up and ran towards Lin Qingqing. "Mom, what did you bring back? A lot."
Lin Qingqing smiled, "Take it down and show it to you later."
"Yeah." He watched Lin Qingqing take down the basket and the sack at the back, and then he picked them up. However, no matter what it was, he couldn't lift it. So, he blushed.
Puff... Lin Qingqing laughed out loud: "You leave it there, I'll do it. Why didn't you go play?"
"When I grow up and become as big as my father, I will be able to carry it." Lu Haici said ambitiously, "Mom is not here, the door is open, I will watch the door. Mom, Aunt Qin came today, and she washed the remaining pig intestines."
Lin Qingqing was a little surprised: "How did your Aunt Qin wash pig intestines?"
Lu Haici said: "Aunt Qin came to see Mom. "Mom, I said, 'Mom, you go and do your work.' Then Aunt Qin saw me washing this, and she asked me, 'Do you know how to wash this?' I said use this ash, Mom and Dad used this ash to wash, and then Aunt Qin washed it with me."
When Lin Qingqing heard this, she felt that this little kid was so obedient that it made her want to cry. He was watching the house alone, and then he was washing the pig intestines silently. For some reason, Lin Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable when she imagined this scene in her mind. "Hai Ci, come here."
Lu Haici obediently walked in front of Lin Qingqing: "Mom?" He tilted his little head and looked at Lin Qingqing blankly, but his eyes were very bright and there was a smile on his little face.
She held his head, then lowered her head and kissed him hard on the cheek: "Thank you, son." Lin Qingqing felt that father and mother, son and daughter, are not only a blood relationship, but more importantly, this title gives each other a responsibility relationship. From today on, this is her biological son.
Lu Haici slowly widened his eyes, and he was stunned. Mom... kissed him. Then the little cub rushed forward and hugged Lin Qingqing, "Mom, you are so good." This little child's voice, even choked with sobs, is still beautiful.
"Because Lu Haici is the cutest, most obedient and best baby in the world, so I will be fine." Lin Qingqing said.
Lu Haici listened to her praise and cried and laughed.
Lu Haici is the cutest, most obedient and best baby in the world.
Lu Haici will never forget this sentence.
…
It was getting late, and it would take time to make broth, so Lin Qingqing put the pig intestines into the clay pot first. The biggest advantage of making broth is that you don’t have to do anything, just put the ingredients in the pot according to the proportion.
However, more than 20 kilograms of pig intestines, after washing, are only about 16 kilograms. Fortunately, her money is not calculated according to the weight after washing, but according to the weight.
These pig intestines are divided into two pots. While brothing the pig intestines, Lin Qingqing went to wash the dishes for dinner tonight. Today she wants to eat pumpkin with salted egg yolk, and after having peanut butter, she also wants to eat noodles with peanut butter. What should she do?
Adults certainly don't make multiple-choice questions. Peanut butter noodles as a staple food and pumpkin with salted egg yolk as a dish are not contradictory. So, Lin Qingqing kneaded the dough first, and when the dough was fermenting, she started washing the vegetables. In addition to pumpkin with salted egg yolk, she also had to prepare an egg drop soup. Eating noodles and drinking soup is leisurely, and it would be better if there is also TV and cold drinks or juice.
The method of making pumpkin with salted egg yolk is very simple, and the method of making noodles with peanut butter is also simple. The most difficult part is the soul seasoning of peanut butter. Many people think that peanut butter is directly mixed on the noodles, which is wrong.
The soul seasoning of peanut butter is one spoon of peanut butter and one spoon of rice vinegar, then start to stir. After stirring evenly, add one spoon of cold boiled water, because after mixing peanut butter and rice vinegar, it is still very sticky. Adding cold boiled water will make it thinner. Finally, sprinkle some white sesame seeds.
In the future, Lin Qingqing often mixes soul peanut butter in this way. One spoon of peanut butter is about 17 grams, which is 100 calories. This calorie is not high. And the taste of this is 90% similar to the taste of peanut butter in hot pot restaurants and steak restaurants.
This kind of soul peanut butter can not only be used to make peanut butter noodles, but also very good for salad.
After preparing the soul peanut butter, she checked the time and saw that Lu Cheng would be back soon, so she started cooking. After the noodles were cooked and ready to be picked up, she took out the cucumber and carrot and shredded them. The cucumber was not very fresh, after all, it had been two days since they were delivered. After eating these not-so-fresh vegetables, Lin Qingqing decided to go to the carpenter's house to exchange vegetables. If you go to the shore, it is very convenient, whether at noon or after dinner. If you go to the county market, you have to choose a day off.
Lu Cheng came back from the army and saw his son squatting at the gate of the family yard again.
"Dad... hurry up, mom made delicious salted egg yolk pumpkin and peanut butter noodles, I've already had a bite." Lu Haici seemed to be urging, but in fact he was showing off.
Lu Cheng: "..." Today is another day when I want to spank my son.
"Look how happy your son is. This salted egg yolk pumpkin and peanut butter noodles sound familiar, but we haven't eaten them. After you eat it today, tell us if it tastes good tomorrow. If it tastes good, ask your wife to arrange for the third company's kitchen team, and we'll go and try it."
The chief of staff who came back with Lu Cheng said. There was no way. The proud look of the Lu family kid was too curious.
Lu Cheng: "I'll ask her opinion when the time comes." He knew that Lin Qingqing was a person with her own ideas, so he wouldn't make decisions for her.
"You still have to ask her opinion? Xiao Lu, you are like our first division commander Qin, you are probably a henpecked man, right?" The whole army has two divisions, and Qin is the commander of the first division.
In the eyes of many people, being henpecked is used to describe a man who is cowardly. But for someone like Commander Qin, naturally no one would say he is a coward, but there are also people who make fun of him behind his back.
Lu Cheng did not say anything, which meant neither denying nor admitting. Lu Cheng felt that this was mutual respect. Because of the influence of his mother, he respected women very much. And because his aunt who took care of him when he grew up was also very strong, women had a high status in his heart. However, he felt that it was meaningless to argue with the Chief of Staff about this.
In the eyes of the Chief of Staff, Lu Cheng's silence was an admission. He sighed: "You know what, there are quite a lot of men in our army who are afraid of their wives. But there's nothing wrong with being afraid of your wife."
"Really?" Lu Cheng looked at the Chief of Staff with some surprise. Seeing his posture just now, shouldn't he make fun of men who are afraid of their wives?
The chief of staff smiled and said, "If a man is afraid of his wife, it means that his wife is capable. In this way, the man can be at ease at home when he is out. No matter what, our identities are destined to make our wives worry about us, so it's good that they can stand up and be brave." You know, every time before going to the battlefield, they would do the same thing, that is, write a suicide note. When writing a suicide note, they were anxious, but determined. What would happen to their family if something happened to them? What would happen to their wife? What would happen to their children? What would happen to their parents?
But no matter how anxious they were, they were determined to take their responsibilities.
Lu Cheng thought, when he was outside, would Lin Qingqing also be worried about him? Of course she did, she liked him so much, she liked him so much that she used old mountain ginseng to negotiate with him, knowing that this would make him disgusted, but she still did it. So, she liked him very much.
Lu Cheng curled the corners of his mouth, and his mood suddenly became better.
"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Lu Haici looked at his father and asked curiously.
"You saw it wrong." Lu Cheng immediately pursed his lips.
"No, I'm the kid with the best eyes in the kindergarten." Lu Haici said, "You obviously smiled. I know, are you happy because you can eat the salted egg yolk fried pumpkin and peanut butter noodles made by your mother?"
