Chapter 161: Braised Pork Tonight
Chapter 161 Let’s eat braised pork tonight
The next day, water no longer drips from the tofu box, indicating that the tofu has been pressed into pieces. Take away the stone and lift the gauze to reveal the solidified tofu. Use a knife to cut it into palm-sized square pieces, and put clean straw on the dustpan in advance.
The tofu is placed on the straw to bask in the sun, leaving ten pieces of fresh tofu. When the time comes, we will make tofu mixed with spring onions and eat Mapo tofu. Jiang Ma will send three pieces to Aunt Jiao’s house, two pieces to Aunt Four’s house, two pieces to Aunt Shi’s house, and keep three pieces to herself.
, and the others were left to dry for three days.
Then put it into a large pot lined with straw, cover it with straw and place it in a relatively sealed and warm room until it becomes hairy. At this time, it is called stinky tofu. Cut the stinky tofu into square pieces with a kitchen knife and add green garlic sprouts to the pot to cook.
Just drinking the soup will make your tongue taste delicious. Others are cut into small cubes and left to dry for a day, then put in a large basin, add salt, pepper and various spices and mix well.
Put it in a soil jar. If you want to eat oil-braised tofu, you can add soybean oil to the jar. The marinated tofu will be more tender and fragrant. Cover the lid, add water to the leaves of the jar, and put the jar under the backlight to ferment.
It can be eaten in more than a month, and it is usually delicious during the twelfth lunar month. However, the weather in the south does not have much temperature difference among the four seasons, so it can be delicious even during this season.
In a blink of an eye, it is the last day of June. This is the day that the people of Qingshan Village have been looking forward to for a long time. On this day, the whole village has a holiday. The villagers sent a representative from each family to the village committee early.
Aunt Jiao did not lag behind and went to call Shen Fanghua early.
"Sister-in-law, if the money is divided equally, if there is more, my family will demolish the old house and build a brick house like yours."
Jiang's mother also wished her well: "The relationship is good, let me know if you need help when the time comes, and if you don't have enough money, let me know."
Aunt Jiao felt that something was stuck in her throat. In this era, and she was not a relative, Shen Fanghua could take the initiative to ask for a loan, which was a hundred times better than that eldest aunt who was related by blood.
"Then I thank you in advance." But in fact, her family probably doesn't need it. How could Aunt Jiao know that after getting the money, she would say, "Oh! I can only make clothes out of cloth, but build a house? It's early!"
"Where is your family? If you have money, do you want to marry Jianguo Jianjun?"
When Jiang Ma mentioned her daughter-in-law, she thought of lotus flowers, and the shadow in her heart expanded tenfold.
"They are not in a hurry, just let them do whatever they want."
Aunt Jiao immediately became anxious: "How could Jianguo Jianjun know this? You, the mother, have to worry about it. Hurry up. If it's late, all the good ones will be picked away, leaving only some crooked melons and cracked jujubes."
Although Jiang's mother thought Jiao Yun's words sounded right, she always felt that Jiao Yun was too anxious. She wondered: Jianguo and Jianjun were her sons, why was Jiao Yun more anxious than her? Those who didn't know might think she was the child.
Mother.
Jiao Yun was naturally anxious. In rural areas, marriage arrangements were made from top to bottom. Her family, Zhao Zhao, liked Zhen Mei. If Jianguo Jianjun always refused to talk about his daughter-in-law, then when would she be able to have grandchildren?
Soon people arrived, including the village committee team and the person in charge of the brick and tile factory.
The accountant first disclosed the account books. Regarding money matters, the illiterate people listened carefully, while the literate people also carefully read the account books that were circulated.
The purpose of this conference was to share money, and everyone was waiting happily to share the money. Some said they could get one yuan, some said they could get fifty cents, and some said they could get fifty or sixty cents. Anyway, there were all kinds of things.
But after the account books were released, they found out that the brick and tile factory had an income of 8,000 yuan this month, but the labor cost was nearly 800 yuan, coal cost 200 yuan, tools cost 1,100 yuan, and the foreign debt owed was 3,700 yuan.
, that is still a nobleman from Qingshan Village
Yan Jinzhi not only drew the design drawings for free, but also helped contact the building materials that were best paid at cost. This allowed their village to build a brick and tile factory. The money they owe should be paid back. It is only natural that Yan Jinzhi is willing to pay the credit first.
Jinzhi loses face.
Therefore, they basically had no objection to the village chief's suggestion that the debt should be paid off first.
After all expenses were paid out, there was only 2,208 yuan left this month.
"Dear fellow villagers, I know that life is difficult for everyone, but I assure you that this is all temporary. As long as we work hard, life will definitely become more prosperous. This month we will divide the money according to households.
Having money on hand will make life easier for everyone, but starting from next month, we will have some big expenditures, such as building schools. Children are the future of every family, and the future of Qingshan Village.
Dear fellow villagers, do any of you want your children to grow up to be as powerful as Comrade Yan?"
Everyone raised their hands in unison. Jiang Mingyue in the distance twitched at the corner of her mouth. She could only say: The wish is beautiful! Come on!
Anyway, her eldest brother's heartfelt emotional speech has laid the groundwork. In the future, the profits from the brick and tile factory will be used for reconstruction, and various factories will come out one after another. Naturally, investment is needed in the early stage, which can be regarded as a precaution for the villagers.
Needle.
Jiang Mingyue has been waiting for people from the old house, but today only Wu Cuilan and his wife came over. Tsk! As her second uncle, she is most active when she only has money to share.
Finally, it was divided according to households, and each household received twenty yuan. As soon as the order was given, all the family representatives crowded in, but their families did not have any money.
The village guard immediately came out to maintain order.
"Get in line, and whoever dares to squeeze in again will be thrown to the end. Have you forgotten about sharing the grain in the drying field?"
At this time, a dispute broke out at the front. Jiang Mingyue looked over and saw that it was Wu Cuilan and his wife. The reason was that they wanted to take away the 20th generation of the uncle's family.
Fortunately, she had expected it and had communicated with Shu Wenquan before.
Shu Wenquan: "Sorry, I can't collect it on my behalf."
Jiang Zhenghui suddenly became unhappy: "Why can't he collect it on his behalf? I'm his biological brother, what's wrong? Do you want me to call my mother to collect it? My mother is his biological mother, so this is reasonable, right?"
Shu Wenquan: "No! You have separated your family. There is a record in the village. Grandma Jiang lives with the second roommate and belongs to the second roommate."
Jiang Zhenghui was so angry at Shu Wenquan's rigid words that he kicked over the distribution table, which aroused public outrage, and the escort immediately stepped forward to restrain him.
Jiang Jianguo: "Comrade Jiang Zhenghui, please abide by the rules and do not affect the people behind you receiving money."
The other villagers also talked to each other, and in the end Jiang Zhenghui was embarrassed.
Naturally, he took the twenty from the uncle's family, and Xiaoran gave it to Jiang Mingyue after receiving it.
"Sister, can we have braised pork tonight?"
Jiang Mingyue is funny. This kid must be obsessed with braised pork.
"Okay, but there is no meat. My sister will go to the city to buy meat later."
"Okay, okay, I have braised pork to eat tonight." The child's joy is that simple. Just a braised pork meal makes him run around in circles with joy and even run to show off among the children.
However, today it seems that showing off was thwarted.
Xiaocheng: "My dad also wants to buy meat for me. Then he will also make braised pork."
Gouwa interrupted: "You need meat coupons to buy meat. The village only gave out money, so you can't buy it."
Xiaomeng conveyed new news: "You can buy it. Brother Jianguo got a lot of coupons. If you need it, you can take the money to the village committee to exchange it. It's true. My mother went to exchange the cloth coupons and said they were for the whole family.
Make new clothes."
