Chapter 12: You Should Find a Daughter-in-law!

"Click......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Li Cuihua has been cooking for decades, and this knife worker really fulfills the old saying, practice makes perfect! After Li Wei washed a small handful of toons, they reached her hand, and after a few knives, they became very evenly sized toons.

Lay the kitchen knife flat, shovel the toon piled together, and give another one to the empty hand, and all the chopped toon will be on the knife surface.

Ping stretched out the kitchen knife forward, aimed at a large white porcelain bowl underneath and tilted slightly, and then wiped it again, and the toon powder obediently fell into the big bowl.

Putting down the kitchen knife, he turned around and went to Westinghouse. Within a minute, she came out with the eggs that had just been laid by two of her free-range old hens.

In Lijiazhuang, eggs are not a good thing, especially for Li Wei's family. Since this kid first knew how to run, he took a group of bear children to drill into the forest every day to touch bird eggs!

What wild duck eggs, wild eggs, sparrow eggs, turtledove eggs, wild goose eggs, when you are lucky, you can also touch a few big and delicious swan eggs! Of course, when you return home, you will inevitably be hit a few times on the butt of this big goose egg.

Swans are super protected animals in the village, and it is said that the swans here were brought by the old man side by side. After generations of reproduction, and new swans were constantly added, it became such a large swan population today.

When there are more swans, there are naturally more eggs with huge swans. In Li Wei's memory, this thing went to the big lake in the village, and he could pick up ten or eight of them within a few steps.

In contrast, a few broken eggs, even if they are eaten at home at high prices in the outside city, and the delicious real native eggs from free-range chickens with wild vegetables cannot arouse Li Wei's interest.

I watched my mother skillfully take an egg in her right hand and put it above the rim of the big bowl. Then align it with the edge of the bowl and knock it lightly, and the egg shell will break, revealing a crack.

Li Cuihua pinched both sides of an egg with both hands, and gently broke it at the crack, and the egg shell was split in two, and the egg white and egg yolk fell into the large bowl below.

Crack open another egg as you would, and then put all the shells aside. This thing supplements calcium, and if it is broken for the chickens at home, the eggs laid by the chickens will not have soft-shell eggs.

It is also said that after eating the eggshell, the chicken loves to lay eggs. As for whether this is the case or not, no one has studied. But the people in the village agreed that this was the case, and they would never throw away the eggshells in vain.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the bamboo chopstick barrel hanging on the side of the cupboard next to the stove, and stirred quickly a dozen times to fully mix the egg mixture and toon powder.

Grab a little more salty salt, and then continue to stir a few times, the egg liquid stirred up a foam, and the toon powder is almost mixed, so put it on the side of the stove for later use.

Take a green onion that has just been pulled out of the ground, go down with a knife, and cut off the green onion leaves, as long as the green onion is white. Break the green onion white from the middle. With a knife, a piece of fresh green onion white is split into two parts. After closing them together, press against them with your index finger and start cutting the green onions.

After cutting the other two sections of green onions into chopped green onions, Li Cuihua immediately put the wok on the biogas stove. Reach for a match, scratch it on one side of the matchbox, and light the biogas stove.

When the wok was hot and began to smoke, he scooped a spoonful of lard from a large meat, which was a by-product of a wild boar that Li Wei had shot two days earlier. It is the most fragrant for stir-frying.

Without waiting for the oil to heat up, quickly add chopped green onions and peppercorns. While stir-frying, pick up the mixed toon and egg mixture, and wait until there is a smell of scallion oil mixed with the aroma of Sichuan pepper in the pot, and then pour all the egg liquid and toon powder into the pot with your hands.

"Thorn-"

With the sound of water entering hot oil, Li Cuihua hurriedly scraped the bowl with a spoon a few more times to scrape the bowl containing the toon powder and egg liquid, and scraped it as clean as possible.

The fire power of the digester is too viscous to be far inferior to that of liquefied gas and natural gas. Therefore, after the egg liquid was put into the pot, Li Cuihua did not rush to shovel it. Instead, when it solidified for a while, and the bottom of the pot was slightly mushy, he waved the spoon and turned it over.

Soon, the fragrance of green onions, oil, and eggs was mixed with the unique smell of toon, and it came out one by one, drilling straight into people's noses.

"It smells so good!"

Li Wei lay on the door frame, watching his mother skillfully flip the dishes in the pot, his nose sucked hard, and the corners of his mouth drooled uncontrollably.

Even after knowing his daughter-in-law, his living conditions can be said to be even in the East China Sea, an international metropolis with a high level of consumption and a very high level of land, his living standard is barely the top one.

You can eat whatever you want, buy what you like, and you don't have to worry about money. Relying on the hundreds of thousands of rents from those houses and shops every month, it is enough for the couple to "squander".

However, after living in the city, there are many conveniences in education, medical care, clothing, food, housing and transportation, but in some aspects, it is completely incomparable with the countryside. For example, the most significant thing is the freshness of the ingredients.

In rural areas, every household has its own vegetable garden, but the difference is only in size. The seeds are planted, and when the harvest begins, the whole family can eat the freshest meals at every meal.

But in the city, even the freshest local ingredients are harvested, transported, delivered to the store, and finally to the customer's table, and it can take at least a few hours to rush.

If it's a long distance, it's normal to spend three or two days from the production area to the diner's table after harvesting. In particular, some vegetables and fruits that are rich in sub-specialties often spend more than a day or two on transportation.

In the village, it is not the same, just like Li Cuihua now. The toon was just picked by Li Wei, the eggs were laid by the hens at home in the past few days, and even the green onions were just pulled out of the ground by the old man himself this morning?

Can the people of this city compare?

Everything is the freshest, and the dishes taste still delicious without any seasonings. Just look at the saliva that Li Wei keeps swallowing, the taste of this toon scrambled egg is definitely not bad!

Li Cuihua was free to stir-fry, and when she looked up and saw her son's slander, she was happy and relieved for no reason. The son likes to eat the dishes he cooks, how can he be unhappy when he is a mother?

However, I was happy in my heart, but I didn't show it at all. Instead, he straightened his face and began to reprimand his son: "Look at your gluttony, you are all the people who are the village chief, don't you quickly wipe the saliva from the corners of your mouth, and you are not afraid of being seen and laughed at!"

Li Wei listened to his mother's reprimand, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth indifferently, smiled, and then walked to the cupboard, picked up the bowl and took chopsticks to prepare for dinner.

One cold and one hot two dishes, a plate of hot yellowed steamed buns mixed with cornmeal, plus a bowl of bean paste made by Li Cuihua herself, and two fresh green onions, this meal is live!

Li Wei, who had been hungry for a long time, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite as soon as he reached out, and with the other hand, he picked up a green onion and dipped it in the homemade sauce, and put it in his mouth.

"Click-"

The snow-white green onions are crispy and juicy, because of the abundant moisture and special soil, they do not have the spicy feeling of the green onions that Li Wei has eaten in that world before, on the contrary, they are a little sweet.

Well, probably the most famous Zhang*qiu green onion in that world is just like that, right? Li Wei thought to himself in his heart as he chewed.

I don't know if there are any mysterious elements in this space, all kinds of agricultural products produced in the village, whether it is meat or grain, vegetables and fruits, are countless times more delicious than what Li Wei has eaten!

But Li Wei can't say what is delicious, after all, he is not a food critic who relies on this to eat. He just thought it was delicious and tasted very good, probably because of the freshness, right? Li Wei convinced himself.

"You eat slowly, and no one will rob you? Why don't you eat first, and I'll eat when you're done?"

Li Cuihua looked at her son who was gobbling up food, and said with a frown. Chew slowly and slowly, this is the way to health. Two days ago, the lecture held by the imperial doctor in the village said that, she can remember it clearly!

Speaking of which, the imperial doctor held this lecture on the way of health preservation, and it was still the credit of his own son! If it weren't for his son's suggestion, that old thing would never have thought of doing this for eight lifetimes.

Thinking of this, Li Cuihua suddenly remembered an incident that the imperial doctor had said, frowned and looked at his son who was eating sweetly, and couldn't help but say:

"I said Xiaowei, you are not too young, and now you are the village chief again, mother, you should also find a daughter-in-law!"

When Li Wei heard this, his brows furrowed, but he quickly returned to his original state, looked at his mother with a smile on his face and said, "Mother, I'm only twenty this year, okay?

That's right, in order to control population growth, the Chinese Federation of this world did not engage in family planning, one-child or the like, but it used the form of law to engage in late marriage and late childbearing.

Because of this, the territory of the Chinese Federation is more than three times that of China in Li Wei's world, but its population has just exceeded the billion mark.

"The imperial doctor said, man, by the time you reach twenty, you will have grown everything, and you can get married and have children! The laws outside can't control our village, let alone you, why do you care about it?"

There is an imperial doctor on the left and an imperial doctor on the right, Li Wei feels a little cocooned. The first time I saw the old Chinese medicine doctor in the village, the son of a descendant of an imperial doctor who had gone into hiding with his ancestors, he encouraged this old man who was dedicated to studying medicine to communicate with the people in the village.

The current generation of imperial doctors is called Li Mingwang, and this year has just passed the year of confusion. Because he usually devotes himself to studying his medical skills, he rarely interacts with the people in the village, and seems extremely withdrawn.

Especially a few decades ago, after a young man sent by the village wandered outside and married a female doctor of Western medicine with profound knowledge of modern medicine and brought him back to the village, he had no sense of existence.

However, in many cases, if there are incurable diseases, or diseases that are not well treated by modern medicine, people in the village have to go to someone else to take acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. There's nothing to say about this old man's craft.

After learning about the imperial doctor's profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, Li Wei simply gave him such a suggestion. It can be regarded as letting him give full play to his strengths, on the one hand, serving the villagers, and more importantly, letting him have more contact with the big guys and enhance mutual understanding.

Unexpectedly, this person is still an old antique, you say that you talk about health care, just talk about health preservation, I provoke you? What are you talking about? Isn't there a conclusion outside the people, around the age of twenty-five is the best age to give birth, okay?

Well, he's taking revenge on me for pulling him out of his little world and delaying his so-called research. But I couldn't find my sore feet, but I didn't expect to give myself a knife in this matter!

"Mother, don't listen to the nonsense of the imperial doctor, when it comes to the knowledge of health preservation, he must be the first in the village! If he is better than others, he is really not as good as my third aunt!"

Li Wei's third aunt is the female doctor from the outside world who was married to the village by the villagers.

"Your third aunt told me a long time ago, the law outside allows the big guy to get married at twenty-five, that is to control the rapid growth of the population, in fact, twenty-one or twelve years old is the best age to get married and have children!"

The old lady is stunned! She is determined to let herself get married as soon as possible, so that she can hold her eldest grandson one day sooner! In this respect, she is the same as thousands of ordinary mothers.

"In the past few years, my mother's body is still strong, and I can help you take care of the child, if in a few years, my mother just wants to help you watch the child, I'm afraid I have more than enough heart and not enough power!"

"Mother, what are you talking about! Look at yourself, this means that you are not conspicuous in our village, if you are in the outside world, no one will doubt that you are forty years old!"

If the people in the village are not sick or sick, they will generally live a long life, and the centenarians can still go up to the mountains to hunt! Of course, this kind of non-human often acts as demons, even in the village, there is only one such thing as the third master, Li Guangming.

"Don't even say nice fooling mother, you just say you can't find it, right?"

Li Wei, who was originally a filial child, couldn't bear to disappoint his mother, but he didn't want to be trapped by the family at such a young age, so his eyes were dripping and rolling, so he started to use his brain.

There you are! Lao Tzu is so smart! Li Wei, Li Wei, why do you say you are so smart? I admire you to death! It's amazing!

"Mother, let me tell you something. ”

After speaking, seeing that the old lady was about to interrupt him, he hurriedly continued: "I completely opened the passage to the outside of the village this morning, and in the future, our village will be born!"

"Ahh

When Li Cuihua heard this, her mouth opened wide in shock, and she didn't close it for a long time. Since the day the village was founded, a few of them have been selected by each generation to be sent to the outside world.

When they are old, they send their families back to the village, so as to maintain an understanding of the outside world and learn and inherit new knowledge from the outside world. For so many years, although the ancestors did not stipulate that future generations were not allowed to do this. However, there has never been a village chief who has completely opened the passage and wants to re-enter the WTO!
