Chapter 580: New Interests
Deng Ying originally planned to ask Qiao Jiayue to go out to play, but now seeing that Qiao Jiayue's mind is on transforming this courtyard, he is not easy to speak, so he silently fights aside.
Qiao Hongyuan still remembered their thoughts back then, so he started to do it with great interest.
Qiao Jiayue saw that several people in the yard were busy, and it was late, so she simply went to the kitchen and began to think about what to eat for lunch.
She still has a little experience in making gnocchi, if she is making steamed buns or buns and rolling noodles, then there is no way.
Qiao Jiayue poured all the flour into the basin, added some corn flour, and then added a little salt and warm water to start kneading the dough.
There are many people in the family, and they are all boys, and it is when they can eat it, Qiao Jiayue is so tired that she is out of breath when she kneades this dough.
The kneaded noodles were put aside, and Qiao Jiayue began to prepare other ingredients.
Dried shiitake mushrooms are soaked in warm water, the dried meat is boiled in water, and then they will be chopped and fried with shiitake mushrooms, as for the rest, except for sauerkraut and dried vegetables, there is really nothing else.
She doesn't want to eat sauerkraut anymore, even if she likes to eat it again, she will be annoyed to eat it every day.
However, there is a fast-growing wild vegetable in the yard, broad-leaved Lei Gong root, and it is still very good to boil the gnocchi soup and put a large handful of leaves.
This wild vegetable is the most common thing they eat, and I don't know if it's for some reason, it's rare to see fast-growing wild vegetables in Beijing, even in the suburbs.
Perhaps this is the center of the country, and the jurisdiction is particularly strict.
The people who were busy in the yard suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, and when they opened it, they saw a middle-aged man with a dark face standing at the door with a smile, and he was pushing a bicycle in his hand.
Liu Ren saw that the person who opened the door was not the girl who had bought something from him before, and the smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen.
"Who are you looking for?" Qiao Hongyuan asked in a deep voice.
Qiao Jiayue was about to come out to pick wild vegetables, when she heard the voice and looked over, she saw that it was a familiar person, her eyes lit up, and she went out and asked, "Uncle Liu, you are here again, come in and sit." ”
Liu Ren pushed his bicycle in, glanced at the yard, and asked with a smile: "Are you planning to grow vegetables?" It just so happens that there are some vegetable seedlings at home, and I will bring you a few next time." ”
"Uncle Liu's speed is fast, you can bring more next time, I think others will want it too." ”
At this time, many people's minds have not changed, and they don't dare to think about some melons and fruits in the yard, so after a proper reminder, there is still a market for vegetable seedlings.
Qiao Hong saw that Qiao Jiayue and the middle-aged man knew each other, and he was a little puzzled at first, and then the middle-aged man took down the bamboo basket behind the bicycle, lifted the weeds on the surface, and revealed the things underneath.
Qiao Hongyuan took a few looks, only to find that there were a lot of things in the bamboo basket, two grass carp that had been slaughtered, a few handfuls of wild amaranth, a few handfuls of palm-long leeks, garlic leaves, and scattered small greens.
Qiao Jiayue was thinking about the vegetables, but no one would send the vegetables to the door, and she was so lucky.
The twins looked at the two fish, their eyes were shining, such a big fish, add two pieces of tofu to make soup, how delicious it should be!
"Uncle Liu, has anyone ordered the fish?" Qiao saw the two fish, and Qiao Jiayue's first thought was to buy them all.
After all, this meat is not easy to buy, and you have to queue up before dawn.
And their family doesn't have any meat tickets, and it's expensive to buy them on the black market, and it's not affordable at all, but this fish is more affordable than anything else.
"There is a family with a mother, and I originally wanted to order crucian carp, but this spring, crucian carp is not easy to catch, so I caught a few male grass carp. ”
"I don't know if that family wants it yet, so I can't give it all to you. ”
Qiao Jiayue expressed her understanding and looked at a few things.
After Liu Ren left, Qiao Hongyuan asked about the situation, only to know that Qiao Jiayue had bought things with this Liu Ren several times.
Qiao Hongyuan looked at the things in the bamboo basket just now, it was indeed fresh and clean, indicating that the other party was a very meticulous person, and he should not leave any tail for himself.
When Qiao Jiayue saw the fish, she had an idea in her heart, and she asked the twins to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to see if there was still tofu to sell, and buy a few more pieces back.
Originally, it was meant to be gnocchi, but now it has been changed to pancakes and served with fish soup, which is even more delicious.
There was something delicious at noon, so everyone put down the things in the yard first and concentrated on preparing the food.
When Qiao Hongliang came back, before he entered the courtyard gate, he smelled a smell of fish, mixed with the aroma of pancakes, which made his stomach growl a few times before breakfast.
He looked at the two large vat dragged behind him, couldn't help touching his nose, and knocked on the courtyard door.
"Cousin Liang, you're back. Lu Zhenping ran to open the door, but as soon as he looked out, he saw two dirty vat behind Qiao Hongliang.
"No, cousin Liang, where did you get these two vats, they're too dirty. Lu Zhenping was dumbfounded, and one of them also emitted a sour smell, like the kind of vats in the countryside that contain rotten sweet potato leaves.
Qiao Hongliang kept a straight face and didn't explain, "Help me move in." ”
He dragged the two large vats to the well and began to scoop and scrub them.
The two vats have been stripped of the dirt on their surfaces, revealing their true faces, and they are no ordinary stoneware jars.
Lu Zhenping was helping on the side, at first he thought it was a beautiful vat, but it turned out to be a black and cyan vat, nothing special.
But Qiao Hongliang noticed the difference, he gently knocked on the wall of the cylinder, listened to the crisp sound, and wiped the inside of the vat, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Qiao Hongyuan came out of the hall, looked at the two extra large tanks in the yard, and asked, "Xiaoliang, will you pull these two large tanks back to raise fish?"
"No, I think it's a bit like the tank that the teacher said, so I'll buy it and take a look. Qiao Hongliang shook his head, it's not expensive anyway.
He mainly studies calligraphy and painting, the restoration of ancient books, about porcelain these are not involved, but there are exchanges between classmates, the teacher will occasionally talk about some other content, his memory is good, he will not forget what he has seen and heard.
So when I was wandering outside, I saw the suspicious and simply brought it back.
"Second brother, third brother, what are you talking about, wash your hands and eat, take care of yourself!" Qiao Jiayue poked her head out of the kitchen and said.
However, everyone didn't expect that since these two vats, Qiao Hongliang seemed to be addicted and began to bring things home.
After these things are cleaned up, some of them he takes to school, and some of them stay.
Qiao Jiayue couldn't do it, so she simply got a room in the basement for him to put these things.
After that, Liu Ren seemed to have touched Qiao Jiayue's rules at home, they always came over on weekends, and the things they brought were not quite the same.
His price is more expensive than that of the supply and marketing cooperative, but it will not be as high as the black market, and he is a real person, Qiao Jiayue likes to deal with such a person.
After many times, Qiao Jiayue knew that the cart of cabbage she bought last year was sold by his daughter-in-law.
Liu Ren thanked Qiao Jiayue, every time he bought something, he would give him an extra handful of small vegetables.
It was comfortable to communicate with such a person, Qiao Jiayue knew that he still had children in high school, so she simply sent him some review materials.
As a result, Liu Ren's attitude towards them became more enthusiastic.
