Not enough money to spend was a constant theme in every home in the early 90s. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Often, buying rice is not enough to buy oil, and buying vegetables is not enough to buy meat, which is really the most test of the housewife's ability to live. In this era, if there is delicious food at home, it is definitely magnanimous. The normal little three are barely over, not to mention that Yu Jia's family is still in debt.
The weather is warm in spring, and there are more vegetable styles, but Wang Liping is in trouble. Although I always want to save a little bit and save a little bit, but the children and adults have to eat, and they have to eat well. The old Zhou's daughter-in-law, who can cook, was taken care of by relatives in the south and moved out of the building, and it was difficult for Wang Liping to ask for advice. She pulled down her face and learned from others everywhere, but with little success, after all, there are only a few kinds of raw materials, and who can turn over any tricks at home. Yu Jia had accumulated a lot of delicious private menus in her previous life, but first, many ingredients could not be satisfied in the era of scarcity, and second, the six-year-old child taught her mother to cook, and then scared Wang Liping.
After three days of home-cooked food without any new ideas, Yu Hongyu is obviously not as looking forward to eating as much in winter. Wang Liping had no choice but to buy a piece of beef head meat with sauce as Yu Hongyu's dinner in the evening, and she was very distressed. On the way to pick fruit for Yu Jia, the narrow road ran into the thorn in Yu Jia's heart - Cen Yulan.
With Cen Yulan, she is a tall, thin middle-aged woman with glasses, who looks a few years older than Wang Liping and has a good temperament. In today's words, it is very royal sister style. Cen Yulan greeted Wang Liping affectionately: "Sister Liping, buy vegetables!" ”
"yes, take the kids out for a walk and buy groceries by the way." Wang Liping was a little embarrassed to see that there were people she didn't know. He nodded slightly at the man and smiled.
Cen Yulan reacted and hurriedly introduced: "This is our neighbor, who works in the kindergarten, Teacher Ji." Teacher Ji, this is my former colleague of the supply and marketing cooperative, Sister Liping. Sister Liping, what did you buy? ”
Wang Liping originally wanted to leave quickly, but after listening to Cen Yulan's more and more talk, she could only pull Yu Jia closer to Cen Yulan to show the vegetable basket: "I bought some eggplant potatoes and beef head meat for his father." ”
Teacher Ji may be very interested in children because she is doing educational work, so she squatted down to accommodate Yu Jia's height and asked, "How old is the child?" I'm in kindergarten. Speaking standard Mandarin, Wang Liping has a good impression of her.
Yu Jia felt that this person didn't know what was weird, and she was a little disgusted. She didn't look at anyone else, and said wiltingly, "Six years old." ”
Wang Liping only thought that Yu Jia was a student, and quickly took over the conversation: "Isn't this me taking her at home, so I didn't send her to kindergarten." I'm going to buy some fruit for the kids to eat, and you're going shopping. After finishing speaking, he wanted to quickly stagger and walk forward, who knew that Teacher Ji might not have heard the conversation between Cen Yulan and Wang Liping just now, and misunderstood: "Oh, this beef head meat can't be eaten by children all the time, it is not good for the body, it is hard and not chewy." It's better to make your own luncheon meat, it's also healthy and hygienic, and soft children love to eat it. ”
Hearing her say this, Wang Liping hurriedly stopped her steps: "How to do it, is it difficult?" ”
"It's not difficult, just buy some pork, chop it, add green onions, ginger and seasonings, and then use flour and starch and water to make a paste, stir it with the meat, and steam it in the pot." Teacher Ji pulled Cen Yulan to her side to get out of the way of the passing crowd, and explained to Wang Liping unhurriedly.
Wang Liping was overjoyed to hear this, and Cen Yulan and Teacher Ji, who said goodbye, turned back and bought half a catty of pork after buying fruit. led Yu Jia to rush home.
Wang Lipingzai carefully tested the method taught by Teacher Ji, and steamed a full box with an iron lunch box. I didn't expect it to be a big success, except that the color was not very pretty, and the taste and texture were quite good. And half a pound of meat can be steamed out of nearly a pound of luncheon meat, Wang Liping cut half of it for dinner, and put the rest on the balcony to freeze, thinking that tomorrow's dinner Yu Hongyu's meal has also been settled.
At dinner, this dish was really popular, and even the top-brand beef head meat that served as a snack was snubbed by Yu Hongyu. Yu Jia also added a meal, and it seemed that she was about to grow taller. Wang Liping was very satisfied and decided to spread the practice of this dish to the table of the people of Guanzilou.
Since then, Wang Liping has always had to look around for Teacher Ji's traces when she went to the market to buy vegetables, and when she happened to meet her, she would pull people to learn from them. I learned several specialties before and after, which can be regarded as a fruitful harvest. Under the guidance of Mr. Ji, I went to the morning market in the west of the city in the early days, bought a small crucian carp and came back wrapped in batter and fried it to supplement calcium for the two of them, and the taste was very fresh.
One day after April, Wang Liping was packing up the season's things at home. Just as I took off the pillowcase and was about to wash it, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was Zhao Yang's mother who led Zhao Yang over. Wang Liping was embarrassed to explain that there was really no place to put her feet in the house, Zhao Yang's mother hurriedly said Brother and sister, don't be polite, let's just say a few words, and stabbed Zhao Yang in the back hard.
Xiao Chubby Dun has obviously lost a lot of weight, and he can no longer be called Xiao Chubby Dun. The long-term cold has not been cured, so he habitually snorted hard and opened his mouth: "Auntie, I'm ...... I'm going to leave with my mother, thank you aunt for always giving me delicious food! I'll follow, I'll ...... Make a lot of money! Buy you something delicious! The two mothers were red-eyed.
Zhao Yang's mother took Wang Liping's hand and said, "Brother and sister, you are a good person, you are good to our family Zhao Yang, I will never forget you for the rest of my life." ”
Wang Liping's tears flowed down as soon as she brushed up: "Oh, sister-in-law, don't talk about it, it's all the same as your own children." ”
"Brother and sister, I'm leaving, I'll take the children to live at the station by myself, and we'll come and go often when we have time."
"Alas, sister-in-law, I know! I'll take Yu Jia over to see you. If you talk about something, you can squeak if I can help Hongyu! ”
Wang Liping stood in the corridor and watched Zhao Yang's mother holding Zhao Yang's hand, and gradually walked away, feeling desolate in her heart.
The little widow downstairs came out to listen to what she said to Zhao Yang's mother, and watched Zhao Yang's mother leave with her so-called oil bottle, I don't know what she muttered, and slammed the door into the house. The sound of tom frightened Wang Liping, and she thought: This is lawless!
When Yu Hongyu went home in the evening, Wang Liping talked about today's events, and only then did she know that Zhao's "section chief" was always laughed at because of his style, and he had already proposed to leave his post without pay. I heard that I was going to go out to the south with the little widow and the two women, so I left Zhao Yang alone.
Originally, it was going to be sent back to the countryside to be raised by Grandma Zhao Yang. But Section Chief Zhao's parents are old, and their eyes, legs and feet are not good, so they can't look at their children at all. Although Zhao Yang's mother is ruthlessly divorced, how can she let go of the child in her heart, but her mother's family can't tolerate her to bring a drag oil bottle to eat white food. I had no choice but to borrow money from my mother's brother, and rented a house at the station with Zhao Yangdan. It's hard for orphans and widows to see.
Wang Liping had a calculation in her heart. It seems that I have to take Yu Jia to visit the door tomorrow.
