Then things started to get busy again.
She cut the meat into pieces and blanched it in cold water. She remembered Su's mother's instructions and cut off one-third of the meat He Zheng gave her, and put the remaining two-thirds aside. However, the pot was still full of meat. Naturally, it was all taken out from the space. Now that no one saw it, she could cook as much as she wanted.
The meat was cooking in the pot and soon the aroma wafted out.
Su Erhe squatted beside and peeled potatoes. He glanced at the cabbage in the corner and washed half of it.
He took out a small piece of fat from the space and put it in the pot to stir-fry lard. Compared with pork, lard is so fragrant. Then he threw the cabbage in and stir-fried it. With the fragrance of lard, the cabbage was greasy and it looked very appetizing.
The other side of the pot is even more exaggerated.
The iron pot was almost full. At first glance, it was filled with cubed meat and potatoes stewed together. After boiling, it was bubbling.
After simmering for more than half an hour, the soup was half dry. When I opened the lid of the pot, the aroma was overwhelming.
Su Erhe glanced around the stove, copied several enamel soup bowls next to it into the space, took them out, picked out the meat and put it into the enamel soup bowl. When the potatoes in the pot were more than twice the amount of meat, she put the meat into the space, and then used the enamel soup bowl at home to scoop up the remaining potatoes and meat, including the soup.
A big bowl of meat and potatoes stewed together, and a big pot of cabbage fried with lard.
Just as the dishes were served on the table, the Su family came back.
“It smells so good!”
Su Xiatian had a very sensitive nose. Following the aroma, he rushed to the table, reached out and grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"Su Xiatian, do you have any manners?" Su's mother reached out and slapped him. Su Xiatian was prepared. The boy dodged nimbly, avoided Su's mother's clutches, and ran to the kitchen.
"Sister, the food you cook is so delicious."
Su Erhe was serving rice. When he saw Su Xiatian approaching, he directly handed the bowl to him and said, "You serve the rice."
I have a younger brother to bully, so it would be a waste not to bully him.
Su Erhe is a man of principles.
Su Xiatian screamed at the top of her lungs, "Sister, you bully me."
Su Erhe smiled and took out an oil-paper bag from the cupboard. "What are you yelling about? If you yell again, you won't get any peach cake."
"Really? There are peach cakes to eat?"
"Um."
Su Erhe didn't keep the secret. Just as Su's father, Su's mother and Su Dongtian came to the kitchen, she opened the oil paper package directly.
There are six peach cakes inside.
As for why six.
She copied the space and put it in. Anyway, Wang Xiu had already given her the peach cakes, so she would not ask the Su family how many peach cakes she had eaten.
So...
She doesn't need to hide anything.
"The peach cakes that the He family gave you?" After all, Su's mother was no longer a child, so she wouldn't be so greedy just by seeing a few peach cakes.
"Well," Su Erhe did not hide it, "It was given to me by Aunt He. She insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn't refuse. Mom, you take the peach cake and share it with everyone."
Mother Su didn't say anything this time. She just glanced at her daughter and said with great satisfaction, "Since it's given to you, keep it and eat it yourself."
She was not yet greedy enough to share the girl's food.
Su Erhe looked at his family and divided the peach cakes on the spot, giving two to Su's father and mother, and one to Su Dongtian and Su Xiatian.
The Su family obviously didn't expect her to make such a distribution and looked at her empty hands.
"Sister, you gave us everything, what do you want to eat?" Su Xiatian was yelling, but she was still very protective of her sister at the critical moment.
"Xia Tian is right. I'll give mine to you. I don't like it." Su Dong Tian was about to return the peach cake to her.
Father Su said, "I am an adult now. I am not greedy for this. I will leave it for you to eat."
Su Erhe looked at everyone and it was a good time to be moved by the unity and friendship of the family.
"You guys aren't eating?" Su's mother was the one who spoiled the mood. She spread her hands with her palms facing up and said, "That's perfect. Give them all to me and I'll eat them later."
Although they lived in poverty, Su's mother never had any loose money. She was used to putting away good things, even if they went bad while being kept.
Father Su had no human rights, so he swallowed silently and handed over the two peach cakes.
The eldest son of the Su family is also a straightforward person.
Su's mother wrapped five peach cakes in oil paper and stretched out her claws to her youngest son.
"Su Xiatian, it's your turn."
"Mother!"
Su Xiatian screamed and took advantage of everyone's distraction to run back to her room with the peach cake in her arms.
Su's mother didn't chase him to get it back, but she obviously didn't intend to let him go. "Don't eat alone. Share some with your brother and sister when you eat. Do you hear me?"
"knew--"
…
The Su family...
It’s actually a very warm family.
Su Erhe smiled, but even so, she definitely still had some reservations about the Su family.
Although her family members are nice, it is impossible for her to open up to them completely. For example, she will not let anyone else know about the space matter.
This is a little secret that only she knows.
But the Su family is good to her, and she will repay their kindness.
This meal can be said to be exceptionally sumptuous. Su's mother originally wanted to cook only one dish, but when she saw a large pot of stir-fried cabbage, she subconsciously opened her mouth to say that it was such a waste. Her foot under the table was kicked by Su's father, so Su's mother just let it go. In the end, she ate very happily, with her mouth full of oil.
After all, who doesn’t like eating meat?
Especially when doing physically demanding work, you can't bear hunger without any food in your stomach. When you are hungry, you can only drink bowls of plain water.
No one spoke, just focused on shoveling rice into their mouths. Although it was still corn grits mixed with rice, it tasted especially delicious because of the meat.
As for how there could be so much in one-third of a piece of meat, everyone was so busy eating that no one cared about it.
Of course, it is impossible to finish all these dishes in one meal, so we have to heat them up and save them for dinner.
"Sister, leave it there, I'll go wash the dishes!"
Su Xiatian was particularly satisfied with his meal today. He ate several pieces of meat and some peach cakes. The stewed meat soup was also particularly fragrant. He mixed it with rice and ate it together. He was so satisfied with the meal that he rushed to wash the dishes after the meal.
Then Su Erhe would definitely not compete with him.
Who would like to wash dishes if there is no choice?
Su's mother rubbed salt on the remaining meat and hung it on the beam in a low-key manner to dry.
"What did Wang Xiu say to you when you went to the He family?"
Su's mother is still concerned about her daughter's marriage. In her opinion, this marriage is really good. Although they took the wrong child and raised a girl from another family, now that the child is swapped back, Su's mother still hopes that the girl can marry a decent family. She doesn't understand any big principles, and now the situation is like this, the best destination for the eldest daughter is to marry a good family.
Su Erhe shook his head and said, "Nothing else was said."
Since the topic has come up, Su Erhe felt that he could take the opportunity to mention his thoughts to Su's mother. He Zheng was right in saying that at this time, the parents have the final say on major matters of marriage.
"Mom, I think this marriage..."
"clang--"
"clang--"
"What's going on? What's the big deal? Why are they beating the gong?"
As soon as the voice came out, Su Erhe watched the four members of the Su family run out.
Normally, people in the village would ring the bell to go to work and leave work, and usually only struck the gong when there was an emergency. So when everyone heard the gong, their brains didn't react at all and their legs had already run out, of course, except for the confused Sulhe.
"Sister, why are you still standing there? Run quickly——"
Su Erhe, who couldn't keep up with the pace, was dragged by Su Xiatian to run together. After leaving the house, he ran down the slope. Half of the people in the production team followed him. The scene was really rare and spectacular.
"Sister, you're exhausted after just eating. Run faster—"
Su Xiatian was at the age of a young man full of vigor and vitality. After running for a while with his sister, he began to complain that Su Erhe was running too slowly.
Su Erhe thought to himself, I don’t even know what happened, why am I running so fast?
"Wild boar, a wild boar was found in the field—"
At this moment, loud shouts were heard from the fields ahead.
Su Erhe's ears perked up.
Wild boar?
What are you waiting for!
rush--
He immediately put all his strength into it and ran to the front.
Su Xiatian was lazily walking when she saw a figure rushing to the front. She took a look and suddenly widened her eyes. "No, that's my sister? Sister, sister, why are you running so fast? Wait for me——"
