West Cross Courtyard, No. 95, Nanluogu Lane. Soup
The two mules snorted loudly while holding hands on the ground covered with a thick layer of straw. They curiously turned their heads toward the house. If they had enough brains, they must be thinking about why today They were not saddled.
The stove outside the door was steaming. Li Feng’s cousin Liu Lei squatted aside and used an iron hook to pick up the broken wood at the bottom of the pot from time to time, causing the fire underneath to burn. A little more prosperous.
“The most important thing about fried rice dumplings is the heat. If they are fried at a good heat, they will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are full of flavor.”
“These glutinous rice dumplings lack the meat, but the taste is just bad. Most of it is missing, so we only have meat and fat. We will add it all in a flash of time. It will be fried later and we will send some to your aunt's house."
Old uncle Liu Qiang laboriously followed. Sitting inside the house, he moved out a large bamboo basket that was not old and new at an angle. It seemed that when he helped people move, he didn't want others to pick it up and cleaned it and kept it for later use.
The white and shiny balls of glutinous rice in the basket are all smooth and slippery. Just looking at them before frying makes people appetite.
"Uncle, I miss my mother and the others. They should also be frying dumplings at this time." Tang
As he helped his uncle lift the basket onto the old stool, Liu Lei I was smiling all over my face just now, but then my thoughts gradually drifted to the south. It was the Chinese New Year, and the children who were wandering away were homesick.
"Help me tie the apron from the back."
Liu Qiang picked up the gray apron on the table, put it on his head, turned to his eldest nephew, and gestured with his hands behind his back. He said slowly after pondering for a moment.
"Go home. In half a year, we will go back. They should have received the money we sent. If there is no money, what will they use to celebrate the New Year?"
"Uncle, this little In half a year, we have saved a lot, and now they can open their bellies this year."
Liu Lei tied an apron on his uncle, and when he thought of the money sent back, the homesickness he felt just now disappeared instantly. .
The two of them were wandering around just to make some money. As long as they could make their family live a good life, their emotions didn't matter. Tang
"Think about it a little bit. I am a man in his twenties. I haven't arrived for half a year and I miss home. I have forgotten how I was when I cried and wanted to come over. Why don't you come over now? , I brought my boss here to do it."
To feel the temperature of the oil on the surface of the oil pan, Liu Qiang carefully rolled the glutinous rice balls in the bamboo basket into the oil pan.
The oil in the pan is about a bowlful, which is relatively small, so not many dumplings are put in. Listening to the crackling sound in the pot, Liu Qiang’s kuaizi kept turning the dumplings.
Liu Lei, who was rejected by his brother-in-law, blushed a little. He remembered the time when he was stubborn and wanted to come over. He was a little lucky because of his decision at that time. Otherwise, this year, the family might not be stable.
There has been famine every year. In the past two years, my memory has only fear for the New Year., old debts have been paid off and new debts are due. Every year during the Chinese New Year, creditors come to the door.
A good-natured family can also provide the best, and provide people with good food and drink, which can prolong life a little longer.
Other families are also having a hard time. After sitting down at home, they sigh and finally have to return the trivial change. Tang
In the past six months, after excluding the dozens of yuan in rent given to Li Feng, Li Feng did not accept the rent he wanted to pay last month. During the Chinese New Year, he directly sent nearly a hundred yuan back. For them who came from rural areas, , which can be considered a huge sum of money.
"Uncle, you called them, how are the two pigs doing now?"
"Hey, eat well and drink well, they have grown to almost a hundred pounds, so Fortunately, my boss goes up to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots before dawn, and your brother has to cut pig grass after school. Those two pigs are really edible."
Liu Qiang took the fried dumplings with golden skin out of the oil pan. Thinking of the two pigs at home, my face burst into smiles.
One of them belongs to the nephew's family, and the other belongs to the Liu family. For a hundred kilograms of pigs, Liu Qiang's family will have to bear fifty kilograms. How can they be unhappy.
"Does it grow so fast? It is much heavier than a child."
After calculation, it was less than a hundred pounds. It weighed more than ten or twenty pounds when it was originally delivered. , now it is eighty or ninety pounds, which is an increase of sixty pounds. Liu Lei swallowed in surprise. Soup
"That's nothing. There are no miscellaneous grains now, so people eat them. In the past, when the village was in good times, pigs fed with leftovers would grow more than a hundred kilograms in half a year. That was normal. "Things"
"Don't be stunned. This fried bowl will be sent to your aunt's house. While it's still warm, Xiaofeng probably hasn't gotten up yet, so give it to him for breakfast."
The aroma of the steaming glutinous rice dumplings with golden skin went directly into Liu Lei's nostrils. After Liu Lei took the bowl, he licked the corners of his mouth, looked at the wall, and suppressed the greed in his stomach. There are bugs at the back anyway, so you can eat them yourself.
"Ahem, uncle, it's Chinese New Year. I got up early, but Li Nan is still in bed."
Sitting outside the door, there was a sudden sound. Hearing Li Feng's voice, Liu Lei hurriedly placed the bowl of fried dumplings on the manger and went over to open the locked door.
"Hey, Xiaofeng got up very early today"
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year. I would like to wish you a happy New Year. I'll come over to see what you need at home. We went to the supply and marketing cooperative later and bought some "soup" together
He bowed his hand to his cousin who opened the door. Li Feng greeted his uncle with a smile on his face. Ben, I really can’t buy some melon seeds, peanuts and the like for the Chinese New Year, so I thought I’d come over and have a quick bite.
"Buy whatever you want, don't waste money, my uncle has everything here, there is no shortage of things."
"Try it first, my uncle's fried dumplings, just now I’m going to deliver it to you. It won’t taste good if it’s cooled or reheated. You have to eat this thing right out of the pot.”
After saying that, Liu Qiang took the freshly fried stuff out of the pot.I looked around for the bowl where the dumplings were placed, ready to give my nephew a taste.
“My mother was also blowing things up and wouldn’t let me talk, so she rushed over to me.”
“Oh, your grandpa was the same. He didn’t talk to anyone when he was blowing things up. At that time , I have suffered from tachyons before."
The old uncle nodded, and it seemed that he knew this custom, but he didn't abide by it. Soup
"Hey, you, I didn't notice this one. There are the dumplings in the bowl just now."
When Li Feng was hesitating whether to catch it with his hands, Liu Lei's voice suddenly There was something coming from behind, and the two of them turned their heads and looked over, only to see their cousin and nephew holding an empty bowl in his hand, looking like he was about to cry without tears.
The two animals had already stood up from the ground, chewing and ruminating in their mouths, their long eyelashes blinking as if brushing Kazilan, staring at the empty bowl in Liu Lei's hand, their rough tongues kept chewing. He licked the back of Liu Lei's hand and asked him to take the bowl. It seemed that he was not full and wanted to try again.
"Okay, look at the big flowers and the two flowers. We haven't eaten them yet, so let them taste them first."
Looking at Liu Lei holding an empty bowl next to the manger Bowl, the way the two animals put their heads together made Liu Qiang feel angry and funny, so he picked up the kuaizi and nodded at his eldest nephew.
However, Liu Qiang was reluctant to beat or scold the two mules. He cherished them very much. When the glutinous rice dumplings were eaten by the two animals, he could only pat their heads sticking out of the stable and give them a beating.
"Uncle, the dumplings are pretty good. They are even better than those fried by my grandpa when he was a kid." Soup
After tasting the hot dumplings with a grin on his face, Li Feng extended his thumb. The old uncle who rolled his eyes at Liu Lei was so praised that his nose bubbled.
“It’s mainly meat-free. It’s just mixed with lard obtained from the black market, otherwise it tastes better.”
Seeing that the five or six dumplings that were fried so hard just now were eaten by the two animals. All the food was gone. Liu Qiang saw that his nephew liked to eat, so he quickly returned to the oil pan and continued to roll the balls in it.
"My factory still has meat stamps issued for the Chinese New Year, not much. I will just buy them directly when I go to the grocery store. I still have mutton at home, so I will give the meat stamps to you directly."
Holding the dumplings that were fried again, Li Feng looked inside the abandoned house. It turned out that the empty house was almost completely stocked with brick beds, old tables, chairs and benches.
"Leizi, I still have two dollars under my pillow. You can take it with Xiaofeng and buy some while you help carry some."
He is busy frying the remaining dumplings. The old uncle, holding Kuaizi under his arm, pointed at Liu Lei, who was having a hard time doing things, and asked him to follow him and help move things. Soup
"Walk, walk, I've been so busy these past two days, I finally got some rest."
Holding the bowl, Li Feng took the lead and went out.
"Xiaofeng, what are you holding in this bowl?"
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, we met Qin Huairu and Xiaodang, who were heading straight to the public toilet. I bumped into Li Feng who came out of the reverse room.
"QinSister, you go to the toilet when you go to the toilet. Don’t bury others. Whatever is in the bowl, you can definitely eat it.”
Rolling his eyes, Li Feng missed his body and was about to avoid it and walked over. Li Nan This big lazy boy hasn't gotten up yet, but what's in the bowl is the breakfast brought back to her.
"Mom, I'm hungry" soup
Xiao Dang raised his neck with one hand. Holding Qin Huairu's hand, he put the index finger of one hand into his mouth, holding it with his eyes staring straight at the bowl in Li Feng's hand.
"You kid, you said you had a stomachache just now, now you say it. I'm hungry, your uncle Li Feng's food is for Aunt Li Nan."
Qin Huai, who was pregnant, pulled his daughter's hand, his eyes drifted from the bowl in Li Feng's hand, with a smile on his face.< /p>
"Okay, the smell here is not suitable for eating. I have to go back first."
Li Feng had no intention of sharing the food with this little white-eyed wolf and pretended not to hear the mother and daughter. The two of them just took the bowls and walked straight to the entrance of the courtyard.
"Wait a minute, Xiaofeng, I haven't thanked you yet. Guo Dabozi from Dongxu asked him to participate. The industrial grade assessment was passed, and now he has passed it."
Li Feng, who had just arrived at the entrance of the hospital, stopped. He heard Qin Huairu's words and raised his eyebrows slightly. Tang
“This Jia Dongxu really passed the exam”
Frowning, Li Feng walked home and saw that the greedy cat Li Nan had gotten up smelling the smell and was standing in front of the washstand. Washing his face listlessly
"My uncle's fried dumplings, eat them while they're hot, and finish your homework after eating. Don't wait until school starts after the Chinese New Year and hurry up."
After putting the dumplings on the table and seeing Liu Yin still frying twists by the pot, Li Feng didn't dare to go over and find himself uncomfortable. After saying that, he went to the iron bucket under the bed to find the family's non-staple food book.
< p>"Brother, I can do the homework. How about you take me with you? I only watch, I don't buy anything."After washing his face, Li Nan heard his brother's words and ate on the table. Fried dumplings, with pitiful eyes, he begged his brother to take him with him.
"My cousin will also go with me. I have to give him a rope in the back seat of the car, and you stay behind." You're running, right?" Tang
After getting the non-staple food book, Li Feng couldn't help but pick up the schoolbag hanging on the wall and threw it in front of Li Nan. He clicked on the schoolbag without any doubt, and then Li Feng went to move. The bicycle inside.
Li Nan glanced at his mother who was frying mahua and opened his mouth, but did not dare to speak. He had tasted the long tachyon in the morning. < /p>
"You finish your homework honestly at home, and I will bring you a bunch of candied haws on a stick when you come back. If you haven't finished writing, don't talk about the candied haws, I won't let you see the candied haws sticks." "
After saying that, Li Feng pushed on his bicycle, took Liu Lei who was waiting at the entrance of the hospital, and rode together to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"No New Year's Eve dinner. Come to our place, my mother will kill that chicken later, let’s have a good meal together.”
The cold wind blew across his face, LiPanting white mist, Feng said to Liu Lei behind the car.
I just went to see my uncle and his wife. Nothing was placed on their table. The radish and cabbage were cut well. When he saw that they only ate dumplings during the Chinese New Year, Li Feng couldn’t stand it anymore, so he simply asked the two families to come together. . Soup
"My aunt also told my uncle about this before, and it means the same thing. We'd better make up for it on our own. I'll give my uncle some 20 taels of wine later so he can eat and drink."< /p>
Listening to his cousin's words, Liu Lei was behind the bicycle, looking at the endless flow of people on the road, smiled on his face, and refused persistently.
"Then take some melon seeds and peanuts with you later, and leave them at home for a good rest. You have been busy for so many months, and I see that if you work like this day and night, you will get tired sooner or later."
< p>"It's okay. Compared with farming at home, this is already a light job. While you are young and still have some strength, do more when you can move."Thinking of my uncle. Liu Lei licked his tongue and said nonchalantly about what he usually said. In fact, he went out early and came back late every day. He lived a very fulfilling life. Seeing the money in his pocket increasing day by day, he felt a little uncomfortable after having some free time during the New Year.
If the old uncle had not insisted on taking such a day off, Liu Lei would have put a saddle on Erhua and galloped on various roads in the capital.
I squeezed the two yuan that my uncle had just given me, and used my cousin’s meat coupons to buy meat for more than one yuan, and the remaining few cents were used for drinking. I brought two yuan here, but I didn’t know how to buy it. What is better. Tang
"Stop being so fussy, my family needs to know that you have all sent your ex-wife back. If you are so sad, they will not be able to survive this New Year either."
"Fortunately, I left a few yuan, which is enough for food and drink for the past two days. Anyway, we will continue to drive tomorrow, and the money will continue to come. Just have enough for yourself."
When we arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Feng looked at the pedestrians who kept coming in and out, and took a breath of air. He didn't stay at home during the Chinese New Year, and all his love went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Haha, there are usually a lot of people on weekends. I guess I can't even squeeze in at the department store now."
Liu Lei jumped out of the car and looked at his cousin He was surprised that he had never seen the world before, and he grinned widely. However, when he thought about the countless businesses he might have missed today, his temples bulged involuntarily.
