Aunt Liao picked up one and took a bite, "Yeah, it's sweet and crispy. We also had a plum tree in our house before, but for some reason it stopped bearing fruit as it grew. Every year, the plum tree always came out empty."
Flower, later you Xiang Min’s father chopped it down, saying it covered the ground.
The same thing happened to the few pear trees that were planted later. They only grew and did not bloom. The pear trees planted by other families in my Bayou area were all knotted with knots. In the end, the trees were bent and the branches were broken. However,
Our tree just doesn’t bear fruit. Do you think it’s strange?
So, we cut down those pear trees, and later on, our family stopped planting fruit trees."
Xiang Jin asked, "Is it because the sun is not shining in that place, or because you didn't prune the branches?"
Aunt Liao frowned, "Do you still need to prune the branches?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "It needs to be pruned, otherwise its nutrients will only grow on the branches, and there will be no nutrients on the trunk, or there will be insufficient nutrient supply, and it will not bear fruit."
Aunt Liao asked, "Are there still these things to pay attention to?"
Xiang Jin said, "Yes, in fact, those fruit trees, as well as flowers and plants, are the same as some crops. They still need to be pruned when it is time to prune them, otherwise they will not be nutritious enough and will not grow well."
Yang Juyun came back around five o'clock in the afternoon and almost six o'clock in the afternoon. When she came back, Xiang Jin and the others were making dinner. After everyone unanimously decided to eat dry rice in the evening.
Xiang Jin poured the intestines and pork liver into the pot and heated them up, then took out the intestines and sliced them with a hob, and cut the pork liver into thin slices and put them on the plate.
She decided to make a fried sausage with green pepper for everyone tonight, then use the marinade to cook a green vegetable, and then braise three vegetables: pork liver.
Xiang Nan was so happy that she could not open her mouth from ear to ear and said that they had a great dinner tonight.
Xiang Jin intuitively felt that it was funny and felt that this girl was really satisfied.
There was a lot of fat sausage, so Xiang Jin asked Aunt Liao, "Auntie, does Grandpa Zeng eat green peppers and fat sausage?" If he did, she would ask Xiang Nan to bring them a portion. If not, forget it.
After all, he used to be a state cadre, so he was probably a bit particular about food, so it was better to ask for details.
Aunt Liao said, "It must be for food. I haven't heard that he has any taboos? And their family also grows that long spicy pepper."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then I'll fry the sausage later, and we'll send them a copy. We haven't finished it yet when Grandma Mo comes at noon."
Aunt Liao said, "Okay, okay!"
Yang Juyun walked in with her sleeves rolled up and asked, "What can I do?"
Then Aunt Liao told her what she had just said to Xiang Jin, and then also told her about how Grandma Mo came to get them dried sea fish at noon.
Yang Juyun nodded frequently and said, "It should, it should, then I will bring it to them later."
"Okay," Xiang Jin had no objection.
After the rice in the pot was steamed, Xiang Jin washed the pot, and then Aunt Liao started cooking it, saying that she was going to stir-fry the pork intestines soon.
Aunt Liao said, "No problem, no problem, I'm just waiting for your craftsmanship."
After the pot was red, Xiang Jin poured sesame oil into the pot, and then added sliced ginger and green onions. After frying until the aroma became fragrant, he poured the sausage into the pot and stir-fried, then stir-fried two or three times, then it was done.
Pour the chopped green peppers into the pot and continue to stir-fry. After stir-frying a few more times, add the seasonings, then thicken it with sweet potato starch, and finally put it on a plate.
She filled a bowl and a plate, then put some braised pork liver in a slightly smaller bowl, and then asked her mother to bring two bowls to Grandma Mo and her family.
When Yang Juyun passed by, Mr. Zeng and Grandma Mo were also cooking dinner in the kitchen. They probably cooked porridge, because they were pulling noodles and sauce, one was boiling a pot, and the other was standing in front of the stove.
When they saw her coming, both elders greeted her. Grandma Mo couldn't stop moving her hands because the noodles and sauce in the pot would burn easily if she stopped, so Grandpa Zeng stood up and asked her why she was here.
Yang Juyun said, "At noon, Xiang Jin and her aunt stewed a sausage at home. They just put in the flavor, and then Xiang Jin made it into a sausage, so we will bring some for you.
Come and have a try.”
As she spoke, she opened the lid of the bamboo basket, took out two bowls, and placed them on their chopping board.
That bamboo basket was newly woven by Xiang Jin and her second uncle a few days ago according to Xiang Jin's request. It is a basket specially used for serving rice and vegetables.
Looking at the bowl of steaming fat intestines that were full of color, flavor and smell, as well as the braised pork liver that looked delicious, Mr. Zeng immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes, saying politely, "Oh, why are you so embarrassed about this?"
"
Grandma Mo also said, "It's not like that, but it costs you money again?"
Yang Juyun said, "What's the point of this? We all belong to neighbors, and you don't bring us less things. I just want you to have a taste."
Grandma Mo said, "Your family Xiang Jin is very capable. Look how good she is at cooking. The buns she made last time were also delicious."
Yang Juyun raised a smile, "That kid likes to study these things every day."
Grandma Mo said, "It's pretty good, but many people at her age are not as capable as she is."
Yang Juyun felt a little guilty and said, "There is nothing we can do. She has to rely on herself for the rest of her life, and I, as a mother, can't do anything to help her."
Grandma Mo shoveled up some of the cooked noodles and sauce in the pot, and then comforted her, "Huh? Still more? You're good enough!"
But having said that, people have to look forward, everything will be fine."
Yang Juyun nodded, with a smile on his face again, "Yes, everything will be fine. Auntie, Uncle Mingyao, I will go back first. They are still waiting for me at home to have dinner."
"Okay, then we won't keep you," Grandma Mo walked to the chopping board to get a bowl for her, and then put some pasta sauce into her bowl for her to take back for the children to eat.
Yang Juyun didn't want it, but she wanted to refuse, saying that their family's food was all ready, and they made a lot of food, and they wouldn't be able to eat it by then. The most important thing was that their family also had a lot of food, so wouldn't this pretense just be enough for others to finish it?
The two of them were pushing each other like they were fighting.
Finally, Mr. Zeng said, "In that case, Juyun, you can take a few back with you, one for each person, right? You can also try your aunt's craftsmanship. Your aunt's noodle sauce is also a masterpiece, the surface is golden, and
It’s also crispy and the sauce never burns.”
Yang Juyun had no choice but to obey them and took four of them back.
Then after Yang Juyun left, Mr. Zeng said, "Old lady, scoop up the rice!"
Grandma Mo asked, "I haven't finished the sauce yet?"
Mr. Zeng said, "Oh, what are you dragging on? You won't be able to finish it by the time you drag it on. Didn't you see the two bowls of food on the chopping board?"
Grandma Mo asked, "What should we do with this batter? Our family doesn't raise pigs, so wouldn't it be a waste?"
Mr. Zeng said, "Then let's have dinner and wait until we have porridge tomorrow morning. I'll cook a pot for you then."
