Jiang Xinyu once tasted Chen Xiuyun's stewed and stir-fried pork intestines. The taste was a little overwhelming at first bite, but the more she ate, the more delicious it became.
Chen Xiuyun's so-called marinating is certainly not as professional as that of later generations, but he added green onions and star anise peppers, a few chili peppers, soy sauce and salt. Although the ingredients were a little sparse, the marinade was really fragrant.
When Chen Xiuyun was fishing for fat intestines, she said: "Give half of the mung bean cake to Chen Yi's family." Chen Yi has been helping a lot lately, and she should have gone to thank Widow Wang long ago.
Jiang Yuzhu smiled and said, "When Chen Yi came just now, my little sister has already given him to you."
Jiang Xinyu concentrated on lighting the fire and pretended not to see Comrade Chen Xiuyun glance over.
After Chen Yi came home with the mung bean cake, Widow Wang arrived home soon. Chen Yi came back after buying ribs. She muttered for a while, what are you buying ribs for? They are all bones. There is no fat or oil. She She felt that her son was really getting worse and worse.
"Where did this cake come from? Did you buy it? When did the supply and marketing cooperative produce this kind of cake?"
When Widow Wang asked, she pinched a piece and tasted it. It was sweet and delicious, with a milky aroma.
Chen Yi has already eaten several pieces. He has never tasted food made by Jiang Xinyu before. He has a live-in nanny at home who is good at cooking many dishes. Chen Yi has no idea that Jiang Xinyu can also cook this. The mung bean cake was really good. Even though he doesn't like snacks, he ate a lot of it in one go.
"This is the mung bean cake made by Xinyu. It's delicious, mom."
Widow Wang said "hmm" and then thought about the child's surname Jiang, and she didn't even want to talk to her own son. If the child had the woman's surname, wouldn't that be an intrusion?
Chen Yi didn't talk too much to Widow Wang. Anyway, he had figured out Widow Wang's character. No matter what he thought in his heart, she was definitely the same as him outside.
Chen Xiuyun braised the sausage for forty or fifty minutes. After taking it out, he first cut half of it for the two girls to taste, then cut the rest in half and cut a lot of cabbage.
There were a lot of people, so it was a big pot dish today. After Chen Xiuyun fried the cabbage and sausage, he stuffed the tofu in it.
When the vegetables were almost cooked, Chen Xiuyun put the vegetables into a basin, stir-fried the pig blood, and then asked Jiang Xinyu to call people over for dinner.
There are not enough tables, stools, bowls, and chopsticks at home, so we borrow them from the people who work for us.
The big steamed buns are enough, there is a little sugar in the mung bean rice porridge, and it is thick. A large pot of vegetables is placed in the middle of the table. There is a lot of fat intestines, and the pig's blood looks oily, which is very appetizing.
The elders were sitting in the courtyard eating. Chen Xiuyun served some of the food and the three of them ate inside.
There is no doubt that the old man didn't even have vegetable soup left. Xiao Hei swung his tail beside him for a long time, not even the crumbs in his mouth were mixed in.
Jiang Xinyu's side is naturally also a CD.
The house is almost finished. Tomorrow we will spend the day working on the stove and the pigsty, and then we will build a shed in the empty space of the main house and kitchen. We can still enjoy the cool inside in the summer. The yard is very big, with only three thirds of land. , if we renovate the tiled house in the future, the area will be sufficient.
There happened to be a jujube tree in the yard of the place Chen Xiuyun chose. Many people in the brigade had jujube trees in their yards, so jujubes were not a rare thing.
In the evening, Chen Xiuyun went to the new yard to check on the progress, thinking about what areas would be built tomorrow. Another kennel would be built, the ground in the yard would be level, and a toilet would be built not far away.
Tomorrow is the last day. The afternoon meal must be better. Chen Xiuyun wants to go to the village and buy two chickens from a house that has roosters.
Hens lay eggs, and Chen Xiuyun was reluctant to kill his own hens. As for the two rabbits, they hadn't grown up yet and didn't have much meat on them.
Chen Xiuyun went to several stores and bought two roosters for a total of three and a half yuan.
At this time, Chen Xiuyun had less than ten yuan in her pocket, only more than seven yuan. She carried the chicken home with a dull face.
To say that she had to rely on her breath to support her new house in the beginning, the money in her pocket now makes her sober up a lot. Will she not be able to survive the rest of her life?
I don’t know what’s going on in the black market. She still has two industrial tickets in her hand that her parents gave her. There were originally three tickets, but she gave one to the eldest daughter. The remaining two are still in her hands. Now she wants to sell them.
When you go out to change money, you also need to explore what's going on in the black market.
The next day, finishing touches were being put on the new yard, and the toilets there were also fenced.
When Chen Xiuyun was leveling the ground with a shovel, Chen Yi came back on his bicycle. There were two sacks hanging on the left and right sides of the back seat, which looked very heavy.
An uncle asked: "What did you bring back?"
Chen Yi parked the car and took out the sack, "These are the broken tiles from collapsed houses that I picked up in the village next door. They are free of charge."
The tiles were all broken, so of course they were worthless.
"What's the use of picking it up? Isn't it a waste of effort?"
Chen Yize said: "Plug it into the courtyard wall to prevent thieves."
There are only three lesbians in Jiang Xinyu's family who live at the entrance of the village. It is strange that the courtyard wall can prevent thieves. It is not safe to just keep a dog. Of course, Chen Yi must find ways to improve the security of the courtyard.
Chen Xiuyun didn't expect Chen Yi to be so attentive.
Widow Wang, who only found out in the afternoon that Chen Yi had brought broken tiles to Chen Xiuyun's house, began to feel sad. Her son had already gone astray before he even got a wife.
Chen Xiuyun felt more and more that this young man Chen Yi was reliable, he looked like Zhou Zheng, he was energetic, he had a good job, and he would be able to support his family in the future.
The old man climbed up the courtyard wall and drove in the tiles. When he finished, he looked down and saw that the thief really didn't dare to climb the wall.
At noon, Chen Xiuyun fried the large intestine and cabbage that she had stewed yesterday. In the evening, she fried two chickens. The side dishes were potatoes. She fried a large plate of bacon and wild vegetables at home. She fried the eggs and green onions. They were the last ones left at home.
Smoked fish was also stewed, and a large pot of white rice was steamed.
The two chickens and potatoes were quite a lot. After Chen Xiuyun cooked them, he poured out a large bowl and asked Jiang Yuzhu to deliver them to Chen Yi's family. Although the tiles were free of charge, it was also laborious to transport them back.
After arriving here, today was the first time Jiang Xinyu ate real rooster chicken. The pheasant that Chen Yi sent before, she didn't even have a piece of meat mixed in. The pheasant was originally small, and so many people were eating it.
Of course, they can't even out the two sisters Jiang Xinyu.
The potatoes were stewed softly, and they were full of chicken soup. The chickens raised in the countryside eat earthworms and insects, and the chicken fat is golden. Chen Xiuyun also braised it with white sugar. Her eyes were red and bright, and she had an appetite.
The construction of the new yard has been successfully completed, and we can move in once the house is dry.
Jiang Xinyu went in and looked around, and felt that the best part was the large yard and very spacious space. The main house was paved with red bricks, which looked neater and cleaner than the place where she lives now. But she came from an adobe house decades ago.
Her new house really made her unhappy.
The yard came second. Jiang Xinyu found that after the yard was built, her family could no longer afford to eat refined grains, let alone meat.
I can actually ask for tickets. I’ll update the manuscript after two days of saving it.
