249. The Story of Parents
Now there is no need to guess, just listen to Mama Hu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Mama Hu is not waiting in the inner courtyard, but just a rough mother-in-law, but because of this, the story that comes out of her mouth is the most comprehensive, don't underestimate the circle of slaves and maids, there is no more powerful gossip than them.
What makes Mama Hu talk about it is that her uncle, that is, her father is very close to the county lord, and she must have a fate in her previous life, and she will continue in this life.
Li Dalang was originally an orphan, he has been wandering around since he was a child, and he probably had some adventures, although he is young, but when it comes to fighting, he is more powerful than the older children than him, and others dare not bully him.
It's just that when he is young, it is difficult to find a place to make a living, so he can only be hungry and full, and his clothes are in tatters, even if he loves cleanliness no matter how cold the day is, he will wash himself clean and have no peculiar smell, and he can't stop others from being a down-and-out little beggar when they see him, and he would rather take more detours to avoid him.
It was under such circumstances that one day, the county lord of Yong'an, who occasionally took a few people on a trip, met him.
If Li Dalang is the group of people living at the bottom of society, then the county lord of Yongan is the top layer.
It was another Sunday, early in the morning, Xi Hong was taking her younger brother to play hopscotch, and she heard her father call to wash cabbage.
Although I have become a little writer, I still have to do what I need to do!
First of all, we have to talk about the layout of the government guest house where Xi Hong lives, the guest house covers a wide area, a highway divides the small city into east and west, and the guest house is on the east side.
Next to the highway is the square, and then at the foot of the hill is the elementary school, and between the teacher's dormitory area and the square is the guest house, so you can imagine how big the guest house site is.
At the end of the square is a rostrum, the rostrum, about six or seven meters to the right of the rostrum, is the door of the guest house, the south side of the square is a small ditch, and the left side of the rostrum is the small door of the food group of the guest house.
As far as the guest house is concerned, it is generally a square surrounded by four rows of houses.
On the left side of the gate, the back of the rostrum is a two-story building, which is the guest room with the highest occupancy rate, and the leftmost side of this house is the food group of the guest house, the food group is very large, able to accommodate hundreds of people to dine together, Yang Weiguo works here, usually the guests who stay here to eat, and there are a lot of people waiting for what meeting to be held, and the food and accommodation are here, and they need to recruit people to help temporarily, at this time it is the days when family members like Li Shuying earn extra money.
Then there is a small dam, up is a small garden, from the middle, there is a flower platform on both sides, a stone table and stone bench are repaired, and then there is a ladder up and a layer of open space, and a piece of land is given to each worker, and then there is a dam again, and then there is a very characteristic wooden building, and the internal ones are called red buildings.
The house on both sides is also a floor and a bottom, the first floor of the second floor is flush with the vegetable field above, there is a small aisle on the side of the house facing the gate to open a small door, from the small door out is the family building, and then the family building to the gate is a slope connection, one side of the slope is to open the small door of this house, the other side is the toilet, the end of the slope is a bungalow, that is, the right side of the gate, is a large two.
The two platforms of the flower stand and the vegetable field, the four corners are planted with a pear tree, when the flowers bloom in spring, the pear blossoms fly like snow, and each family can divide the pears in autumn!
There is an orange tree on the edge of the field of Xi Hong's house, and the orange is the kind of sour and terrible variety that does not grow, and it is impossible to eat it, but the orange tree is very fragrant when it blooms.
In the past, people really seemed to be all-round, Xi Hong's father carpentry work, mason work will be some, the family saw, utensils, ink fountains and these tools are all available, when there is nothing to repair the stool, the aisle was hit by a mouse hole to make up for some cement, the wall at home is dirty and get some lime to repaint, and will also pick up tiles for the house!
Xi Hong's father is a diligent person, and when he has no time to spare, he usually gets that vegetable patch, but unfortunately, it has always been, when the vegetables are expensive, Xi Hong's vegetables have just emerged, and when the cabbage planted by Xi Hong's family is ripe, the cabbage on the street is cheap to a few cents a catty......
But it's always a bumper harvest, and the ripe vegetables must be harvested, otherwise they will bloom until they are planted in the ground, so how can you eat so many vegetables?
Pickles, of course!
So Xi Hong's matter came, a laundry table was built under the house where they lived, the laundry table was very wide, about three meters, and next to it were two large laundry pools, one of which was repaired with cement to make it easy to wash clothes.
At this time, first clean the laundry pool next to it, cut off the cabbage and throw it in, wash it while putting water, put it in the round basket next to it after washing, and then lift it to the side, cut off the leaves on both sides of each cabbage, leaving only the middle rod, and then cut a knife from it, and then stuck it on the wire to dry, they here pulled a lot of wire for drying clothes and sheets.
Wash the cabbage leaves again and use them to cook cabbage soup, Xi Hong's favorite day to dry cabbage, you can eat only the leaves of the vegetable soup very luxuriously, the days of the landlord's house!
The cabbage stalk is dried for a day or two, after it is cooked, take it off, wash it, and then put it on the bamboo strip to dry the water, put it into a clean basin without a little oil, add wine, chili noodles, pepper noodles, and salt and then knead it together and put it in the jar, Xi Hong's family will make a lot every year, this is very delicious after it is good, compared with the pickles made of green cabbage and moss, this has water, spicy and spicy, Xi Hong thinks it can be eaten as a snack.
Xi Hong's father will also make a kind of "mixed sea pepper", first the rice is fried and dried, ground into powder for later use, and then the fresh pepper is crushed, and rice flour is added, add salt and pepper noodles and mix well, this thing is not an ordinary jar, but a very characteristic kind of "inverted altar" in Xi Hong's hometown, the general jar mouth is upward, this altar mouth is downward, and the sealing is better.
In the past, Xi Hong would only do what she was called, but now she will always be by her side, participate in every process, and carefully record each step, these are not only good composition materials, but also a kind of inheritance, after the material is extremely rich in the future, things will be more convenient, but how many will be these inconspicuous little things?
Anyway, there are only benefits and no disadvantages in learning, there are many skills and not pressure, no one has me, and I have my fineness, which is the key to success.
When the food trust crisis breaks out in the future, the things you make yourself are clean and delicious, and you can eat them with confidence. (To be continued.) )
