Chapter 9 Stir Fry
Chapter 9 Stir-fried vegetables are fragrant
In the next few days, in addition to helping with some housework, Zhao Yunlan was learning to read. Not only Zhao Yunlan, but also Li Mingmei was deeply impressed by what she had learned every day. Li Mingzhi occasionally looked at his elder sister-in-law and younger sister
When I’m studying, I’ll come over and take a look.
This is just what Zhao Yunlan wanted. When Li Mingmei doesn't know a word, she can ask Li Mingzhi. In the past few days, the Li family has gradually accepted Zhao Yunlan's behavior of learning to read.
Zhao Yunlan has also deliberately made small adjustments to his state in the past few days, slowly becoming himself in some small things instead of the original Zhao Yunlan.
The Li family seemed to be aware of it, but they couldn't figure out the reason. They just thought it was some sequelae after the head injury. However, the Li family had not noticed the change, but Zhao Yunlan became more comfortable getting along with him.
Zhao Yunlan also knew that big changes would arouse suspicion, so he could only slowly infiltrate the Li family through small daily behaviors and habits.
During this period, Zhao Yunlan also observed that Xiaobao's memory was indeed very good. If Li Mingren did not achieve anything in the future, he could train Xiaobao. But now Xiaobao is still young, and Li Mingren is still a teenager in modern times, so he cannot
in a hurry.
Zhao Yunlan once again lamented that in these evil ancient times, why do people get married so early?
Zhao Yunlan felt that her head had almost recovered in the past few days, and she no longer felt dizzy or vomited, so she gradually took on the housework. After all, Li Mingmei had to rely on Li Mingmei to eat and drink for the whole family.
I’m tired, even today Li Mingmei can still celebrate Children’s Day!
During this period of time, all the people in the fields needed were old man Li and his fourth son to go check on the situation in the morning and evening. The second and third sons went to the town to find a job moving goods together. They distributed steamed buns at noon for ten cents a day.
The two brothers brought some dry food and clothes, but they were not sure where they would live.
This morning, Zhao Yunlan finished cleaning up the dishes, learned some new words, and planned to go for a walk in the village. In Zhao Yunlan's memory, the original owner used to visit various aunts and sisters-in-law's houses to borrow things.
Although Zhao Yunlan has little interest in visiting, it is more pleasant to go out for a walk, breathe fresh air, and see the ancient pastoral scenery.
Zhao Yunlan decided to go out with Xiaobao in his arms, so he found thick clothes for Xiaobao to put on. During this period, Xiaobao basically followed Zhao Yunlan. The two of them got closer and closer. Of course, it was mainly Zhao Yunlan who changed.
Da and Xiaobao are as clingy to Zhao Yunlan as ever.
The couple walked out of the Li family's house and ran all the way to the village, stopping and walking. There were more than ninety families in the whole Li family village. Looking at the houses, it was obvious that the conditions of each family were not very wealthy. Maybe it was because of the cold weather.
I didn't see anyone along the way.
Only in the distance on the mountain it looked like someone was digging wild vegetables.
Zhao Yunlan looked at Xiaobao and got tired of following him around, so she carried Xiaobao back. When she came back, she met Li Yuqing, the youngest daughter of the village chief's family. The two of them said hello and had a brief chat before they separated. Zhao Yunlan recalled
Considering his relationship with Li Yuqing, he did not seem to be too familiar with her. Thinking about what had not aroused suspicion just now, he slowly went home.
After returning home and helping Li Mingmei tidy up the chicken coop, Zhao Yunlan did not expect that she would adapt to this life so smoothly. She went back to the room and looked at her bed and decided to change it. Fortunately, the original owner brought an extra set of quilt covers with her when she got married.
The sheets came over, and Wang also bought new cotton batting.
Zhao Yunlan went to the kitchen to boil water, wash and rinse, and dry the quilt.
After everything is packed, I followed Li Mingmei and Li Mingzhi to the mountains to collect firewood. It’s still cold now, so I use a lot of firewood every day.
Now that she can do more housework, Zhao Yunlan begins to think about how to improve her living environment. Going to teach in mountainous areas was not so difficult before!
Every day she thinks about what her education experience of more than 20 years ago can do in this ancient time, and then finds that it seems to be of no use. The nine-year compulsory education and the three-year devil's high school career are of no use here at all, otherwise she would not be here.
I will learn the words here again, but many modern advanced knowledge and ideas cannot be brought out in a big way, otherwise you will be killed if you are not careful.
The English major at the university, well, is not even useful. I don’t know if there are foreign missionaries or the like. Even if there are, I guess it is still ancient English, which is still different from modern English.
Zhao Yunlan was picking up firewood and thinking about it. After a while, she bundled it up. Li Mingmei and Li Mingzhi also wanted to help her carry some firewood, but Zhao Yunlan refused.
Zhao Yunlan knew what she could bear, so she picked up firewood that she could carry on her own.
In addition, Zhao Yunlan is now deliberately losing weight. He no longer eats eggs after feeling dizzy, and is also reducing his food intake every day. Zhao Yunlan must participate in household chores such as climbing mountains to reduce firewood, even though it only lasts a few days.
It had no effect, but Zhao Yunlan felt that she slept better at night.
The three of them carried firewood down the mountain and went home. Zhao Yunlan went to make dinner and once again wanted to look up to the sky and scream. The simple kitchen was just that. He couldn't get out any seasonings he wanted, only some bitter and bitter coarse salt. He ate like this every day.
,How did the original owner gain weight before?
Zhao Yunlan went to the backyard to pull out some radishes and made some cabbage. Zhao Yunlan was going to go to the granary to get cornmeal and eggs. Zhao Yunlan looked at the health of his family members, especially the Wang family. Their health was really bad, but every time he wanted to
When Wang was offered boiled eggs, Li refused on the grounds that she had already taken medicine to replenish her body and no longer needed to waste food. Wang had a bad temper. Although Zhao Yunlan knew that taking medicine alone was not enough and that what he wanted was nutritious food.
I can't overcome Wang's temper.
Zhao Yunlan thought about using cabbage to fry an egg, so that Mrs. Li wouldn't have to say no and the whole family could eat some.
Zhao Yunlan saw the meat that Jiang had brought before in the egg cabinet in the barn. There was a special cabinet in the Li family barn to store eggs and meat.
That day, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingmei to finish cooking and eat together. As expected, Li Mingmei still didn't want to finish cooking, so she put away the remaining meat.
Zhao Yunlan couldn't bear to see Li Mingmei doing most of the housework these days, so Zhao Yunlan took on the cooking chores.
At this moment, Zhao Yunlan thought about cooking and leaving it to his own arrangements. When he taught her life in the mountainous area, Zhao Yunlan had learned how to cook with a wood stove. Zhao Yunlan took the meat to the kitchen.
It was cold and the meat was frozen, so it could be stored for so many days. Zhao Yunlan worked hard to cut off a small piece of fat. He was not going to make meat dishes tonight, but just cut some fat for frying.
The Li family was so poor that they couldn't even save lard, so they put back the remaining meat, planning to eat it together when the second and third oldest children came back.
Here Zhao Yunlan's small piece of fat was fried in oil. The fat on the wild boar was not that thick. Zhao Yunlan thought that Mrs. Zhao might have picked out the piece with more fat.
In modern times, we are not interested in fat meat, but in ancient times, everyone thought that fat meat was good. It is true! Everyone can’t eat enough and can’t get any oil or water. How can this fat meat not be delicious?
Zhao Yunlan saw that the fried one was almost fried and took a bite with a small wooden spoon. This small wooden spoon was still used by Xiaobao for eating. It was pitiful how much oil could be produced from this small piece of fat. She also scooped up the remaining fat residue together.
There was barely a bottom in the pot and there was only oil on the pot. Zhao Yunlan took the time to crack the eggs and fry them. The cabbage had been cut long ago. When the eggs were almost done, she put the cabbage into the pot and fried them together. Finally.
Add a little salt, and the scrambled eggs with cabbage are out of the pot. Zhao Yunlan has to say, fortunately, the Li family has an iron pot. Although this pot is very old, at least it can be used. This pot is still made by Li
It was bought when the old man was alive, but Zhao Yunlan recalled that the Li family seemed to have never eaten stir-fry, and there was always a big pot of stew on the Li family's dining table. No wonder Zhao Yunlan always felt something was wrong when he came to eat these days.
In fact, there are few households in the village with iron pots, and almost no households that eat stir-fry. In addition to the oil cost of cooking, there is also the fact that everyone has little experience and has never been exposed to stir-fry. After all, stir-fry is only available in better restaurants, and farmers
On weekdays, I don't even want to go to a restaurant to eat. I even hesitate for a long time to eat a bowl of plain noodles at a stall.
Zhao Yunlan continued to invest in cooking. Zhao Yunlan started to cook radish soup. There was no seasoning in the soup, so it had to be boiled. The small spoonful of lard and the piece of fat meat residue that Zhao Yunlan just scooped up, now
Pour it into the soup and cook together. While cooking, stick it to the mixed flour pancakes.
After the meal was ready, Zhao Yunlan invited the Li family to eat. Today there were scrambled eggs with cabbage, but Zhao Yunlan did not boil eggs for Xiaobao. The Li family were a little surprised to see that today's meal was different from the past.
Li Mingzhi even blurted out: "It smells so good, sister-in-law, this dish is different from before."
Zhao Yunlan: "I figured it out by myself. After my brain breaks down, sometimes I just want to think about something."
Everyone in the Li family was thinking: They are all starting to think about how to read, so why don't they just spend the whole day thinking about it.
Wang thought: I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing to break my brain.
Li Mingmei looked at the dishes on the table and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you cook the meat?"
Zhao Yunlan said: "Cut a small piece and boil some oil. Only after I saved my life did I realize the importance of good health. My father and mother are getting older and need to replenish their bodies. Let's not talk about the second and third brothers being outside for the time being. The younger brother is younger."
Sisters, you two are still young and it’s the time when your bodies are growing, and Xiaobao is also in his infancy, so the whole family needs to replenish their bodies.”
Li Mingmei's eyes were slightly red. Wang originally wanted to say a few words, but she stopped now. Didn't she know that these were just a joke?
Zhao Yunlan saw that everyone was talking and just talked about eating. It was the first time for the whole family to eat this kind of stir-fry, and they all praised it. You can tell by the speed of the CD.
Zhao Yunlan took care of Xiaobao and ate the pancakes little by little. There were not many refined grains at home. Although Xiaobao could often eat eggs, he rarely ate refined grains, so Xiaobao's pancakes were made soft by Zhao Yunlan's method.
one time.
The family had a greasy meal, and Li Mingmei washed the dishes. Everyone was ready to go back to the room to rest. As usual, Zhao Yunlan reviewed the words he had learned before going to bed. Xiaobao was lying next to Zhao Yunlan, reading the words.
After a while, he fell asleep.
