Chen Xiuyun has skinned both rabbits cleanly, leaving the fur and processing the fascia so that they can sew a pocket to hold hot water to warm the bed in winter.
Jiang Xinyu fed the rabbit in the cage with wild vegetables. The little rabbit had grown a lot, and it would be enough for him to cook and eat after a month.
Under the guidance of Widow Wang, Chen Xiuyun chopped a rabbit into very small pieces, and fried the red peppers that had been dried last year at home in a hot pot without oil. After frying the dried peppers, he added the Sichuan peppercorns to the pot. Stir-fried.
Chili peppers are grown in the private plot. Chen Xiuyun doesn't like to use chili peppers in cooking, and Lao Jiang's family does the same. So Lao Jiang's family has more chili peppers harvested last year. When the family was divided, Chen Xiuyun took some more. Mrs. Li didn't see it. The old man didn't say anything. As for the peppercorns, they were produced by the wild peppercorn trees at the Wuliqiao Canal. When the peppercorns were ripe, everyone in the brigade would pick some, dry them and store them.
After the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers are dried and stir-fried until fragrant, the pungent flavor comes out.
"Crush these into powder and eat them without any waste."
The Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers were poured into the stone pot, and Jiang Yuzhu picked up the rolling pin and poked it.
Jiang Xinyu lit the fire and watched eagerly as Chen Xiuyun poured lard into the pot.
"It's not enough. Add some more. This oil won't be wasted and you can still eat it with steamed buns."
Chen Xiuyun felt distressed and poured a little more oil. Widow Wang felt that it was still not enough. To make this dish, it must be oily to be delicious. Although the amount is small now, it can barely be done.
When the rabbit meat was put into the pot, Jiang Xinyu ran away from the stove very quickly, and the oil and gas splashed out.
After the rabbit was put into the pot for the first time, it was stir-fried to dry up the water vapor. When it was put out, there was no oil left in the pot. Chen Xiuyun felt distressed, so he poured the oil again, and put it into the pot for the second time, adding some complete dried rabbits. Add the chili and Sichuan peppercorns, then pour the rabbit meat that has been oiled once, then pour in the Sichuan peppercorn powder and chili powder, and stir-fry vigorously. The rabbit meat is already red and glowing with oil, and the smell is fragrant. Numb and spicy.
The young daughter-in-law next door, Zhang Lanxiang, came again with her snot-nosed child Yongzi. This time Yongzi was so greedy that he cried. The previous pig's trotters smell was overpowering enough, and this spicy rabbit dish was even more fragrant.
"What delicious food are you cooking?" Zhang Lanxiang knew not to come in and look at other people's cooking, but she had never smelled this kind of smell and she really wanted to see it.
The spicy rabbit cubes were still being stir-fried in the pot, and Yongzi's eyes were filled with greed.
Widow Wang said: "Yesterday Chen Yi exchanged two rabbits with Orion in Shenzhuang. I am teaching Xiuyun how to make spicy rabbit dices. Xinyu eats wild vegetable dumplings at school every day. Everyone has lost a lot of weight. I have prepared them and brought them to school. , can last for several days.”
Zhang Lanxiang looked at the red oil in the pot and swallowed, "This consumes too much oil."
Chen Xiuyun said: "This oil can't be wasted. You don't need to cook anymore, you can eat it with pancakes."
About fifteen minutes later, a rabbit came out of the pot. Before Yongzi left, Chen Xiuyun gave him two pieces of meat.
Zhang Lanxiang was embarrassed, but she didn't refuse.
Yongzi watched eagerly after eating, but Chen Xiuyun did not continue to give.
Widow Wang said: "Now that you've done it, I'm going back, and I have to go to the pig pen to see. Xinyu will go to school in a while, and I'll ask Chen Yi to see her off."
Jiang Xinyu smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie."
The two families now have a tacit understanding. Jiang Xinyu has given up on estrangement from Chen Yi. We will talk about the future later. She is only seventeen years old now and has a long future. It is hard to say what will happen in the future.
Chen Xiuyun sent people to the door. Zhang Lanxiang and Yongzi hadn't left yet. Chen Xiuyun asked, "Aren't you going to work today?"
Widow Wang doesn't work every day because she has a capable son. Raising pigs for the brigade is her main job, but Zhang Lanxiang should have gone to work long ago.
Zhang Lanxiang touched her belly unnaturally and said, "I'm pregnant again. Yongzi's grandma asked me to work in the private plot, and then wash clothes and cook at home."
Chen Xiuyun glanced at her still flat belly and chatted with her for a while. Seeing that Chen Xiuyun had no intention of giving Yongzi any more food, Zhang Lanxiang simply took Yongzi home.
After they left, Chen Xiuyun said to the two girls: "You two should try it quickly."
The two of them couldn't wait for a long time.
Although I had eaten soybean stewed pig's feet before and my stomach was already full, but when I saw this oily and red spicy rabbit dices, I felt that I could still eat a lot.
The rabbit meat tastes very spicy, and Jiang Yuzhu’s face turned red after taking one bite.
Jiang Xinyu broke off a small piece of stick noodle cake for her, and ate several pieces by herself. Although she felt that she was about to die, she couldn't stop. After coming here, this spicy rabbit was
Chen Xiuyun's cooking was the most suitable for her, and the ingredients were very generous.
Chen Xiuyun tasted it, but she stopped eating after two bites. She was from Shanghai, and she didn't eat such heavy food. She opened the cleaned fruit canned bottle and filled a full bottle for Jiang Xinyu, and that's all.
The mother and daughter could eat half of the remaining cornmeal pancakes for three days.
I chopped up one rabbit, and Chen Xiuyun prepared to smoke it and keep it for eating.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiuyun worked non-stop to make wild vegetable dumplings for Jiang Xinyu, fried the white flour, added sugar, and packed them after they were out of the pot. She also packed a few stick noodle pancakes from the morning.
"The weather has gotten a lot hotter. I will bring less food with me from now on. I will pack some dry food for you and you can take it to school to change."
Jiang Xinyu doesn't think life will be hard this week. Even if the school asks her to do more work, she can get through it.
As he was talking, Chen Yi's figure riding a bicycle came to the door. He was leaning on one leg on the ground and looking inside.
As soon as Chen Yi stopped the car, Ma Meili came with a bag of fruit. When she saw Chen Yi, she asked: "Send Xinyu to school?"
Chen Yi said lightly "Yeah".
Ma Meili really felt that the daughter of Chen Xiuyun's family had found a good partner. The person her family recruited to marry was incomparable to Zhang Hua, and the one her family's Pandi decided to marry was incomparable to Chen Yi.
But there is one thing that Chen Xiuyun can't compare with her. Does she have a son? Chen Xiuyun! On this point alone, Chen Xiuyun can't compare with her in this life!
"Second younger brother and sister, why are you here? Come as soon as you come. What gifts do you bring?" Chen Xiuyun was packing things for Jiang Xinyu in her room. The door was open. When he saw her, he came out and asked.
"You're moving to a new house, why don't I come and see you?"
Chen Xiuyun was really surprised. When did Ma Meili become such a generous person?
While the two sisters were talking, Jiang Xinyu packed her schoolbag and carried the food and went out, "Mom, sister, I'm leaving. Second Aunt, I'm going to school."
Several people responded and looked away after she sat in the back seat of Chen Yi.
Ma Meili was able to come to the door with a gift today, so she naturally had something to ask for, and the family had already discussed it.
"Sister-in-law, didn't someone from this village come to film some movie? My yard was spotted, and it was an honor to be featured in the movie. But if we lend out the yard, my family won't be able to
We have a place to live. What my parents want to say is that your house is spacious, can you let us live in it in the future? Don’t worry, you won’t have to pay for food rations, we will take care of our own meals.”
Chen Xiuyun was already cursing in her heart. How dare she hold this bag of fruits and think that her family would live in her new yard for free?
She worked so hard to build a new yard just to stay away from Lao Jiang's family, and she would never let them live in it again. Even if they weren't from Lao San's family, that wouldn't work! Who wants to live by the face of that old woman!
When the old lady moves in, will she still have a peaceful life?
Their plan was pretty good. The studio lent their house to film a movie, and they took advantage of it. They wanted to live in her house for free, but they didn't even have the door!
