14. Chapter 14
The stone table of the Dai family is made in heaven, and it has been polished by the food in recent years, and now the wooden table of this small family is just assembled by Dai Zhu from the rotten wood in the old house, and there are still some burrs on it.
Dai Zhu looked up at the round and deserted moon, and kept rubbing his big hands on it, thinking that one day, this rotten wooden table would also be polished to a smooth surface. When that day comes, the days will probably be very different from now.
"Dinner is coming!" , Dai Jiao put on Lin Mai's apron, with one hand behind her back, holding a plastic plate in the other, and the long skirt was lifted by the night wind.
Dai Zhu and Dai Cheng didn't feel hungry when they were working today, but when they smelled the food, the gluttonous worms in their stomachs all gurgled, "What is your mother doing?" So fragrant? ā
Dai Jiao wrinkled her nose, and took off the porcelain bowl on the plastic plate with a greedy face, and three or four golden flatbreads with a bulging and hot aroma appeared in front of the Dai family, father and son.
There is the crispy smell of flour and frying, and the smell of the meat that has been rolled up layer by layer in the cake and the meat that has been cooked after the oil has been thoroughly cooked, and the flavors are mixed and intertwined when they melt into the air, making people's appetite move.
Dai Jiao hasn't tasted meat for a long time, and the best meal she ate was the white water egg that day, and then her whole bread. The bird can fade out of her mouth, smelling this smell almost flowing out, wiping the saliva that does not save zĆ i, she pierced a cake with chopsticks, and a layer of crispy skin fell on the outside instantly, and the meat fragrance inside was fermented with the fragrance of green onions.
Biting her tongue stiffly, Dai Jiao handed the chopsticks to Dai Zhu, "Dad, you eat first." This one is over-fried, hot, blow first. After that, he repeated the previous action and clipped one to Dai Cheng, "Brother, you eat." ā
Dai Zhu and Dai Cheng are up and down today, the labor is the greatest, Dai Jiao didn't steal food when she helped in the kitchen, and the first bite had to be eaten by the hardest people in the family!
That being said, Dai Zhu looked at his daughter and had nothing in her hands, thinking that she had nothing to do at Dai's house, and as soon as she came out, she even cooked the meal today, and she was distressed, "You eat this, it's almost over, it's not hot, Dad eats the other." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to another small one on the plate, which was calloused and not afraid of oil, so he took it directly in his hand.
At this time, Lin Mai brought the remaining two dishes up, and saw Dai Zhu's appearance, "Look at your father's eating appearance, it's ugly." Laughing and putting the two dishes on top, Lin Mai wiped his apron and went to the kitchen to serve porridge, boiling it with the sweet potatoes he brought out, and it was also appetizing to drink in the sweet and greasy evening.
She was humming a small tune from Daijia Village while serving it.
Now it's not just the aroma of the meatloaf, but also the sticky and sweet taste of the sweet potato rice, the fruity aroma of the tomatoes themselves, and the vinegar and sour taste of a stir-fried cabbage. Food is meant to make people feel happy, not to mention the delicious food that has been cooked by skillful hands like Lin Mai.
didn't say much, a few people had a busy day today, and they were all hungry, so they buried their heads in the bowl.
Dai Jiao first drank a mouthful of sweet potato rice, and then ate a bite of cake, the crispy and fluffy skin wrapped in moderately salty minced meat, crispy but not broken, oily but not greasy. This cake is very similar to mille-feuille, the layers of crust are wrapped in the meat filling, so although the crust is warm, the filling inside is still hot, Dai Jiao didn't care about it, and took a few big bites, and then exhaled and said to Lin Mai, "Mom...... Fragrant! ā
"You can eat more fragrant." Lin Mai just picked up the one left on the plate, and when he heard this, he wanted to break half of it for her.
"Don't, eat too much and get fat at night." Dai Jiao swallowed the bite of cake in her mouth, "One of me is enough." ā
"I'm still afraid of being fat, I didn't know who ate eggs before, and I was so anxious to eat them that I almost stuck my throat!" Dai Cheng is definitely the brother who can poke tires the best in history, glaring at Dai Cheng, Dai Jiao took a bite of the cake and didn't bother with him, "That was before, did you understand before?" In the future, don't say that I have a lot of food outside. ā
Dai Cheng laughed, "I'll just say, you have the ability to bite me." ā
"I'm a Hui Min, I won't bite you." Dai Cheng didn't react at first, but when he did, he wanted to jump up and fight Dai Jiao to the death......
These two children would never be so noisy when they were in the Dai family, Lin Mai looked at it, and suddenly felt a sense of astringency in his heart, parents have no ability, and even with their children they have to suffer. Suddenly, her hand was warm, and Dai Zhu patted her, "Let's eat...... Later, it will be fine. ā
Lin Mai took a bite of the cake and suddenly laughed. The days are good, but the word is comfortable.
ā¦ā¦
After eating, the big guy cleaned up the kitchen together, this place is close to the side of the mountain, although there is no well, a mountain spring water that can be brought from the mountain just passes here, and the pot where Lin Mai cooks sweet potato rice is soaked in it, ready to soak and then wash.
Dai Cheng took a book to read in the house, and Dai Jiao lit an oil lamp for him again, "It hurts my eyes a lot in the dark." ā
Dai Zhu touched his head and smiled, "Don't waste it, it's all about this, I won't learn anymore." I'm going to go to the wasteland with my dad tomorrow morning. Dai Cheng just came back from outside, "I won't go to open up the wasteland tomorrow, I think about cleaning up the stove room, otherwise it will be windy and rainy, and there will be no place to eat." ā
Dai Jiao thought about cooking with Lin Mai today, saying that it was better to call it a dilapidated house than a stove room! It felt like it could collapse anytime and anywhere, and she nodded thoughtfully, "I have to pick it up." "Life safety comes first, and she doesn't want to wake up and push it back decades.
Lin Mai just finished cleaning up and put his apron on the shelf, "You better go, why don't we eat in the wasteland?" We can't always buy food, our family's current conditions can't stand spending money like this, and we have to go to the city to find someone to get a school for the city in September! I'll pay a little attention to how much of a deal I can do. ā
"It's not going to work, it's too dangerous!" , Dai Jiao rejected Lin Mai's idea for the first time, "Why do you have to open up wasteland?" It's not impossible to do other ways, we can earn money and buy land again, and it won't be hard. "In the past half a month, Dai Zhu and Dai Cheng went to open up the wasteland at night, and when they came back, they were covered with soil, and a layer of skin was worn on their shoulders, and Dai Jiao looked distressed.
"It's easy to say, what do you make money with?" , Lin Mai glanced at Dai Jiao, "Our family only knows how to do carpentry for your father and your brother, but the carpentry outside is fine, and the people in the village can look down on this craft." ā
Dai Zhu scratched the back of his head and smiled.
"Then you can do some small business like Uncle Gao", although the previous old lady was a foreigner, but Dai Jiao grew up by China's nine-year compulsory education, and the reform and opening up was the spring of self-employed, and the opportunities of that year were enough for anyone who resold to become a million-dollar giant crocodile.
"Why are you thinking about speculation?" Dai Zhu said to Dai Jiao for the first time, although he has a good relationship with Lao Gao, it cannot be denied that he really doesn't like to kill pigs and sell meat for a living, "I haven't seen what your Uncle Gao is doing in the village, so I can't do this." "In these days, everything is state-owned, and any private sale is speculative and should be ridiculed.
"I knew that loss of discipline was small, and starvation was big." Dai Jiao glanced at her lips, and soon ZF has to encourage the diversification of the market economy, how many sour-eyed people slap their faces, "I think Uncle Gao's life is much better than ours, and there is still money left to make clothes, buy it, brother, what do you say?" ā
If necessary, you have to pull a comrade-in-arms for yourself.
Dai Cheng looked up, the young people are different from the older generation, and they don't look at these things seriously, "Uncle Gao relied on his own hard work to earn money, and he didn't steal or rob, I don't think anything is wrong." "On the contrary, those people in the village want to take human pork for nothing at every turn.
"Look, look, you've taken your brother badly!" Dai Zhu stroked his hair, he was stupid, and he didn't know how to persuade the two babies, "In short, this thing is not authentic, if it was put more than ten years ago, you would have to be dragged to the cowshed to criticize and educate." After saying a word, he didn't know what to say, and when he saw Lin Mai lowering his head and didn't know what he was thinking, he quickly picked up the savior, "Mom, tell me about them!" ā
Lin Mai was excited, his eyes lit up, and he was a little frustrated, "I think Jiao's idea is good, but neither you nor I can kill pigs, and we can't earn this money." ā
Dai Zhu's mouth was open and he could eat eggs, "Mom, how can you say that?" ā
Dai Jiao didn't expect that she thought her mother would stand on the same line as her father.
"I think Lao Gao's family is doing very well, they have meat to eat all day long, and they have spare money to make clothes and buy jewelry for their wives and children...... As far as I'm going to see today, how big is a gold chain around Lao Gao's daughter-in-law's neck, and Xiao Huan's clothes, which seem to have been bought from a shopping mall......" glanced at Dai Zhu, Lin Mai said, "I don't care about the people in the village now, life is almost unbearable, the two children still have to study, even if they are drowned by spittle and squeezed to death, I can do anything to make money!" "Anyway, if she has money, the children are sent out to study, what is she afraid of!
Dai Jiao noticed two words: (āvā) Reading!! No!
"Mom, the family doesn't have so much money, what kind of books do I read as a girl, just let my brother read hard, and give our family glory to our ancestors." The best youth in the previous life was spent reading, and reading is indeed not a waste of time, but Dai Jiao has already read it once, and she feels that she wants to hang up the second time!
"Only girls have to study", Lin Mai held Dai Jiao's hand, thinking about Dai Jia's arrogant appearance, "Now there is no money in the family, but after this hard time, no one's mother will be bitter to you!" ā
Mom, I beg you, suffer me!
Dai Jiao wanted to cry without tears, temporarily pressed her head, and said to Lin Mai, "Mom, if you want to do business, you don't have to kill pigs like Uncle Gao and his family, in this world, there are many ways to make money?" Looking at Dai Zhu, who was squatting on the side depressed, Dai Jiao said again, "Uncle Gao bought other people's pigs, raised them and killed them and sold them to others, and he made this difference from the middle." Although my dad is a craftsman, to put it bluntly, he buys wood from others to make chairs and then sells them to others for the middle price, and he is not the boss, and he will be deducted by others! ā
Dai Zhu's ears moved when he heard this, and he interjected, "That's different, I earn money by labor, and laborers are glorious!" ā
