Li Haitang's thin figure disappeared from the sight of Gu's mother and son after a while, and Gu Su's turned around and walked into the house like this, and Gu Yongjia naturally followed her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yongjia, what do you think of this begonia?" Gu Su's words for no reason stopped Gu Yongjia.
"What do you mean?" Gu Yongjia was a little puzzled.
"We are going to live in the mountains and fields for the rest of our lives, although my mother taught you to read, but even if you are full of wealth, it is useless, at most to be a teacher in this mountain field, it will not let you gain fame in any case." Gu Su's voice was full of sorrow, her heart was full of hatred, her son was extremely intelligent, if he was a good student, he would come from being a pillar, and now, if she wanted to follow herself to the end of her life in this mountain, she couldn't bear it.
"Mother, you're here again. I think life here is very good, haven't we all had a good life in the past few years! Gu Yongjia smiled, his delicate face was sincere, and he seemed to like this place from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Sushi patted Gu Yongjia's hand, knowing Mo Ruo's mother, how could she not know the hatred in her son's heart? It's just to comfort my heart.
"When our mother Li Gao was a lifesaver for our mother and son, and after she died, we couldn't help her children. This time, it can be regarded as a guide in the dark, you saved her. Mother looks at the child Begonia is very good, since we live here, you will have to marry a wife and have children here in the future......" Gu Sushi said slowly, she still has selfish intentions, if she goes, according to her observation, Li Haitang has a good heart, and staying by her son's side means that her son insists on going back, which is at least a help.
Hearing this, how could Gu Yongjia not understand what his mother meant? It's just that the little girl is only nine years old......
"Mother, there's no urgency about this." Gu Yongjia's rare face showed a look of shame.
Gu Sushi nodded: "It's my mother who is in a hurry, but I think that Haitang is a good child." ”
Gu Yongjia has not paid special attention to Li Haitang, only knows that she is a role of protecting her younger siblings, and the two little radish heads are very convinced and admired by their eldest sister. And I heard Li Dongsheng say that his eldest sister has changed a lot since she woke up from a coma, and she is even more protective of the two of them.
The Li family's small courtyard.
Li Haitang was busy in the kitchen, cutting a large piece of white meat into evenly thick and almost thin slices, Li Dongmei helped to start the fire, and after the pot was heated and dried, Li Haitang sprinkled this pile of white meat slices into the pot little by little.
The sound of sizzling sounded, and the white meat slices shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and transparent lard appeared at the bottom of the pot, and as the meat slices continued to be added, the oil slowly accumulated. The meat slices were all added, the fire in the stove was stopped, and the meat residue was skimmed off, Li Haitang carefully put the hard-won oil in the bowl, which was hot and fragrant, making people smell very comfortable.
He had never made lard before, so Li Dongsheng and Li Dongmei were very curious about this bowl of lard. Li Haitang looked at the two of them, if it weren't for the hot lard, the two little guys would want to taste it when they smelled it.
After this iron pot has been trained with lard, the oil is shiny and shiny, and it can't be wasted. made Li Dongmei fire again, Li Haitang threw a large handful of washed wild vegetables into the pot and dipped the oil stars on the pot, and threw the white meat residue into it together, added water and boiled it. After doing this, she went to the cellar and took a yam, quickly peeled and sliced it and threw it in. Then put a bamboo curtain and steamed a small pot of chestnuts. Then he replaced Li Dongmei's position and began to start a fire himself.
Li Dongmei squatted beside Li Haitang, looking forward to what she was about to eat in the evening, she didn't know what the eldest sister was doing, but it looked delicious. And the eldest sister said that the chestnuts are better when they are steamed! She admired her eldest sister more and more, and they hadn't been hungry since she woke up.
Bursts of water vapor seeped out from the wooden lid, and the small kitchen was very warm by the steam. Li Haitang's heart is warm, take your time, and her life will always get better little by little.
After a long time, about the chestnuts were ripe, Li Haitang lifted the lid of the pot, took a spoon and stirred the wild vegetables and yam tablets boiled in the pot, the yam was almost cooked, and the wild vegetables had some fiber left, Li Haitang took a small amount of bud rice noodles from the grain given by Li Zhao today, added water and mixed it, poured it into the pot, and cooked it slowly.
The porridge made by Li Haitang is simple, but it is the bud rice noodle porridge that she used to drink in her previous life, usually after the water is boiled, pour the reconciled bud rice batter with alkaline noodles into it and stir it to boil. But this is ancient times, there is no alkaline noodles, and besides, this bud rice noodles are used to make big cakes and are mixed with wild vegetables, who is willing to boil porridge and drink? Fortunately, I added yam before, this thing contains a lot of starch, and it can also make the porridge thicker.
After boiling, Li Haitang put a small pinch of salt into it, and the fragrance that came to her nose made her, a person who has eaten all the food, look forward to it.
"Sister, what is this?" Li Dongsheng smelled the fragrance and entered the kitchen.
"Hmm." Li Haitang tilted his head and thought for a while, "This is called wild vegetable bud rice noodle porridge." No, there are yams added to it~ What is it called? ”
Li Haitang is a little entangled, no one has ever done this thing he made today, but he made it by himself with limited materials, and the name is the most troublesome.
"Well, it's wild vegetable bud rice noodle porridge." Li Haitang nodded and confirmed.
Li Dongsheng is not entangled, for him, if this thing can fill his stomach and is delicious, it will be the best.
Put the boiled porridge out, put it aside to cool, brush the pot, start the fire, Li Haitang put the steamed chestnuts into the pot and stir-fry, and suddenly the crackling sound sounded, a bit like the sound of firecrackers. scared the two little guys to hide behind Li Haitang, and kept asking what was going on.
Li Haitang patiently told them that it was nothing, the chestnut shell was sealed, and it was too hot to stand it and burst open, so there was this sound. This chestnut can be eaten after steaming, but it is very troublesome when peeling the shell, and it is easy to peel the shell after putting it in the pot and stir-frying it for a while.
After listening to Li Haitang's words, the two little guys were not afraid, staring curiously at the fried chestnuts in the pot, thinking about what the cooked chestnuts would taste like.
After everything was ready, the three of them gathered around the pot and prepared to eat.
There was a shouting sound outside the courtyard, but it was the third child of the Li family who came.
Li Haitang sighed in his heart, this thing has just been made, and now there is no place to hide it, but what should I do?
"Begonia, Dongsheng, Dongmei, the third uncle is here, why don't you come out quickly?" Li Yushan yelled at five and drank six.
Li Haitang led the two small ones out of the kitchen slowly, frowned and asked, "Third uncle, I have finished all the work at home, I don't know what the third uncle is doing here?" ”
When Li Yushan heard this, his face was full of displeasure, "This is my second brother's house, so I won't come?" ”
"What smells so good?" Li Yushan inhaled his nose, and a rich fragrance came out of the kitchen, this fragrance, isn't it meat? Li Yushan's heart moved, and he put aside the three sisters and brothers and went to the kitchen. Li Yushan is tall and big, and the three of them can't stop it even if they want to, so they have to watch Li Laosan enter the kitchen, fortunately, after the lard was refined just now, in order to store it, let Li Dongmei pour a bowl of lard into a small jar, seal it, and put it in the cellar, otherwise......
Li Yushan stared at a pot of porridge on the pot table, and a bunch of brown chestnuts, a little puzzled, he obviously smelled the smell of meat!
"Third uncle, I just boiled a pot of porridge, if the third uncle is hungry, sit down and eat with us." Li Haitang had no choice but to say hello.
Li Yushan asked suspiciously: "Where did this meat smell come from?" ”
"Oh, when I went to Gu's house to deliver clothes today, I brought a basket of wild vegetables to Aunt Gu's family, and then she gave me some meat residue left over from her family's refining lard, and I boiled it in the porridge together, and the smell of meat smelled by the third uncle is probably this." Li Haitang said slowly.
Li Yushan lowered his head and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a burst of meat fragrance in this porridge, which made people's index fingers move. Li Yushan sat down loudly, "Begonia, you boiled this delicious porridge, then the third uncle is welcome, dip your light and drink a bowl." ”
Li Dongmei reluctantly took the bowl over, and after seeing that the eldest sister had filled a big bowl for the third uncle, and then served three bowls separately, she had to drink the porridge without saying a word.
Is this really porridge? Li Yushan thought to himself, he has grown so big, and he has never drunk such delicious porridge! A bowl, a bowl, and another bowl...... Before the porridge in the hands of the three sisters and brothers was drunk, Li Yushan had already drunk the porridge in the basin, and he was still unsatisfied: "Begonia, is there any porridge?" ”
"Third uncle, you also saw it, when you came, this porridge just came out, there was so much, the third uncle drank it all, where else can I have it?" Li Haitang's face was calm, but his heart was already boiling, Nima, do you drink porridge like this? This porridge is very hot and woody?! What's the length of your mouth?! Aren't dead pigs afraid of being hot!
Li Yushan's face was stunned, he came to rob his nephew and niece of food today, if it spread, it wouldn't sound good! I couldn't help but say a little sarcastically: "If it's gone, it's gone." Begonia, your porridge is so delicious, the third uncle didn't hold back, so he drank more, you don't blame the third uncle! ”
Li Haitang suppressed the disgust in his heart and pulled up a smile: "No, the third uncle is hungry, even if the niece doesn't eat herself, she has to let the third uncle eat enough." ”
Li Yushan nodded with satisfaction, not feeling the ridicule in Li Haitang's words at all.
Looking at Li Yushan's expression, Li Haitang felt that he was about to vomit blood, he originally thought that Li Zhao's Li family and Li family were even more superb, but he didn't think that this third uncle who had not yet become a family was even better.
"Third uncle, is there something you are doing here today?" Seeing that Li Yushan was still sitting and not moving, Li Haitang had no choice but to ask.
Li Yushan then remembered the purpose of his visit, and looked his niece up and down, although she was a little thin, but her appearance was also thoughtful, and she imagined it very much with the dead second sister-in-law, if this appearance is good to give birth to, she will also be a beauty of water spirit in the future, well, very good.
Li Haitang saw Li Yushan looking himself up and down, and nodded incessantly, feeling nervous for no reason.
"Begonia, the child in this family, the third uncle loves you the most, you know?" Li Yushan had a warm smile on his face, and he was earnestly induced.
Li Haitang wanted to curse, Nima, do you hurt me? Hurt me, I and my brother and sister are living like this? Or a child, who has to run around for his own food every day? Hurt me, you're here to rob us of food? You're kidding! It's just, can these words be spoken? Apparently not.
"Well, the third uncle loves us, I know, I always remember it in my heart." Li Haitang nodded.
Li Yushan was very satisfied with Li Haitang's answer, and nodded incessantly: "The third uncle asked someone to show you the family affairs, and I will tell your grandmother when I turn around, let's settle this matter, and when Haitang marries, it will be fragrant and spicy!" ”
