Chapter 93 Heartblood
Yesterday, Lin Li told his sister-in-law that when he had time, he would try fried fish and fried dough sticks.
She said that when she was in the hospital, she had asked Sister Liu to help her find out about the noodle making process.
The steps are simple, but it requires sufficient skills when thinning the noodles.
Lin Li decided to let his sister-in-law give it a try.
Add baking soda, a little salt, and then yeast when kneading the dough.
The dough should be kneaded until it is soft, and finally stretched to the point where it flows quickly when picked up but does not break.
Once this is done, there will be no other problems.
At four o'clock in the morning, my sister-in-law got up impatiently and studied the steps patiently.
After kneading the dough, I finally put it in the pot and added some charcoal into the stove.
It was not until six o'clock that Lin Li got up, yawning as he went to wash up.
After finishing, my sister-in-law said the noodles were already opened.
Today is the weekend.
Xiaofei is at home.
The sister-in-law said that Xiaofei’s job was to take little Junrui out for fun.
But when the elder sister-in-law and Lin Li were frying, the sensible Xiaofei took on the job of cooking assistant.
Although Junrui is a very well behaved boy, he is unwilling to play by himself.
He kept mumbling: "I want to help Mama with the system too..."
Children of this age have the desire to do things, but unfortunately their hands and feet cannot coordinate well and they can't do anything at all.
Xiaofei would pick up a branch from time to time and ask Junrui to help put it into the stove.
"Junrui is great, Junrui is so smart. Okay, after putting it in, the work is done. The next task will be completed by your brother..." Xiaofei said as he pushed the branch inward and tidied it up.
Lin Li said to her sister-in-law, "Don't be nervous, sister-in-law. This is our first time making this, so we don't need to ask for high quality, as long as it's edible."
The eldest sister-in-law agreed: "Okay, anyway, our whole family is not picky."
The whole family loves this. Once it’s ready, we can make it anytime.
Otherwise, if you still want to buy it, you have to go to the commune.
After working for a while, the fragrance from the house spread to the street.
The adults and children in the house were busy, but they didn't know that someone was wandering at the door.
This man is Old Liu.
Old Liu brought in a few more big fish.
It is said that yesterday, after his pond was blown up by firecrackers, he caught a few half-dead fish, but when he went to check today, a few half-dead fish appeared again.
Maybe he was injured yesterday, but Old Liu didn't notice it and only saw it today.
Whenever he saw a fish that had no strength to swim, he would stand there depressed for a long time, unable to recover.
Each of these fish is the result of his hard work.
Fortunately, the fish cooked by Lin Li was delicious, and if he sold it to Lin Li, he would not lose money.
We have now caught six or seven big fish, and also caught a lot of small dead fish.
He had already caught a lot of small dead fish yesterday and asked Lin Li if he was willing to make them for him, but Lin Li didn't say a word.
Others laughed at him, saying that he was stingy and sold the big fish to Lin Li at such a high price, but only got some worthless small fish and expected others to do it.
When the team was leaving yesterday, Old Liu shamelessly asked Lin Li the same question again.
Lin Li said: If the fish is fresh, you can cook it for him. If it is dead, don't cook it. I am afraid that if there is something wrong with it, I will not be able to take the responsibility.
In fact, people at that time had a good appetite, and some diligent women would wrap the freshly fried small fish in flour and fry them before eating.
But Lin Li had never eaten it. She had only eaten freshly killed river fish or frozen sea fish, and she didn't dare to cook river fish that she was not sure how long it had been dead.
So yesterday, Old Liu took the small fish to his home and asked his wife to fry them.
It is fried crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is still very delicious.
Today, Old Liu once again brought the small fish home and asked his wife to fry it.
Today he thought about it and decided not to sell the big fish for money, so he decided to let Lin Li help him.
But even though Lin Li doesn't charge for his services, he still has to earn something suitable before he will help.
I saw that others gave away things like cornmeal and sweet potato flour that were easy to store.
Old Liu's wife controlled the food supply at home too tightly, so he couldn't get any.
Now he was calculating whether Lin Li would agree if he gave two of the five fish to Lin Li's family and took the remaining three home after cooking.
But he was too embarrassed to ask.
Just like that, he wandered around the door of Lin Li's house for a long time, smoked a bag of cigarettes and took it away, but was too embarrassed to go into the house.
At this moment, he smelled an alluring aroma coming from Lin Li's house.
He kept swallowing.
I was about to muster up the courage to knock on the bolt, but just as I raised my hand, I suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle behind me.
In this era, motorcycles were not only unheard of in rural areas, but were also rare in cities.
So when I heard the noise, I was startled at first, and then I looked back. I found it very strange that such a huge object could be ridden like a bicycle.
This is a happy 250 motorcycle.
The man riding the motorcycle was a young man. He turned a corner and parked the motorcycle in the wasteland beside the road.
A young man got off the motorcycle.
He asked Old Liu: "Uncle, may I ask... where is the home of Comrade Lin Li from your village?"
Old Liu felt extremely comfortable listening to such a fashionable and cheerful voice.
I thought to myself that he is indeed a city person. It is cool enough for him to ride a large high-tech device. He also looks cool, dresses coolly, and even speaks so nicely.
But after the young man took off his helmet, Old Liu was stunned!
"Young man, why do you look so familiar to me?" asked Old Liu.
"Hey, you are..." The young man also felt that Old Liu was familiar, "I remember now, you are the Uncle Liu who went to our police station to report the case yesterday, right?"
"Huh?" Old Liu suddenly realized, "You? You are that...Officer Zhou!"
"Just call me Zhou Qiang." Zhou Qiang said cheerfully.
"Hey hey, which breeze brings you here, Officer Zhou?" Old Liu still didn't dare to call him by his name.
"I'm here to see Comrade Lin Li. Two of my colleagues have gone to your pond to observe the situation. They're also conducting a survey around there." Zhou Qiang said.
"Then should I hurry to meet them?" asked Old Liu.
"Not at the moment. Can you help me find Lin Li's home in your village? I asked around and he said it's around here?"
Old Liu nodded repeatedly: "This one, this one! I want to go in, too! I'll take you in..."
Old Liu couldn't wait to walk in, then turned around and called Zhou Qiang to follow him in.
The motorcycle stopped outside the door and was locked. Zhou Qiang followed in holding a helmet.
Lin Li and his sister-in-law had already fried a pot of fish noodles, and the two children were eating them, their mouths full of oil.
And he kept praising it in a slurred manner.
"Aunt, I feel so happy!" Xiao Fei said with a sneer, "From now on, we can eat fish noodles at home, and we don't have to go so far to the commune market to buy it?!"
Junrui also said incoherently: "Fortunately Hu Lie..."
