Chapter 57: The Visitation
After receiving the book and putting it back in the dormitory, Luo Yumin asked for leave and left the school with his younger brother Luo Yuliang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that the sister and brother didn't go to the hotel they had agreed before, but went to the town's farmers' market.
When it is called a farmer's market, it is a large piece of land with a football field, surrounded by self-built houses, or small shacks built with linoleum and bamboo.
The weather is good, and I sell some vegetables inside, fruit groceries or something, and the weather is bad, so I can only shrink in a small shack.
These shacks are not inhabitable in winter, because the temperature drops to minus ten degrees Celsius on the coldest winter nights in northern Shanxi.
Cut a piece of pork belly, bought a Chinese cabbage, and then Luo Yumin also bought some dried tofu, a few cucumbers and some fruits.
If it weren't for his younger brother, Luo Yumin would have been able to take out the cabbage from the space.
"Sister, why do you buy so many vegetables..."
"I'll take you to see someone, let's go over there to make dumplings to eat in the evening..."Luo Yumin said with a smile, putting all the items in the cloth bag he brought out, and also took the opportunity to replace the Chinese cabbage with space production.
Luo Yuliang hurriedly grabbed it, "Sister, give it to me... You've got people you know in town."
Although she did not formally apprentice and practiced martial arts with Old Man Li for several years, Luo Yumin had long regarded Old Man Li Hong as her master, and she did not dare to tell her family about it without the consent of her master.
Today is a happy event for Luo Yumin, first she learned that her master had just recovered from a serious illness, and then she got the news of her mother, who had been missing for many years, and as soon as the little girl was happy, she automatically ignored the rules she had set. 、
She doesn't know exactly what stroke patients can and can't eat, but ordinary meals should always be abstained from, Master loves dumplings, so she prepared these.
"Haven't you always been curious about who my sister learned martial arts from, my sister took you to see my master today..."
Luo Yuliang jumped three feet high happily.
Mr. Li's home is not far from the archway in the center of the town, and it is a medium-sized courtyard house with three entrances in front and back.
Don't underestimate this courtyard, it is located on the site of the Li family's compound, the largest landlord in Qi Town.
The origin of the prosecution of Old Man Li's ancestors has to be said.
The ancestral home of the initiator of Xingyi Boxing is also from the north of Jin, and the initiator Ji Jike only accepted Cao Jiwu and Ma Xueli in his life.
Old Man Li is the descendant of Cao Jiwu's descendants. Cao Jiwu is also a native of northern Jin, and Ma Xueli is a native of Henan, so that later he was called Henan Xingyi.
To Luo Yumin, it is already the seventeenth generation of inheritance.
As I said before, the Li family is a martial arts family, because of years of changes, the Li family has fallen, and the Li family's mansion, which originally occupied half of the town's area, was also sold.
She took her younger brother and did not go to the main gate, but walked a few steps southwest along the wall of the Li house, and came to a small door where the paint was peeling off to reveal the true color of the log, took out a key from her trouser pocket and poked it in and unscrewed the door.
Luo Yuliang saw that his sister was so familiar with the way, and she also had the key, and she admired her sister a little more at the moment.
"Sister, you even have the key to Master's house, it's really good..."Luo Yuliang's face couldn't hide his admiration.
"Hehe, I'm really ashamed to say it, Master originally let me live in his house, but I refused..."
What she didn't say was that she could take care of her brother nearby by living at the school.
The young man, Luo Yuliang, is also a clever person, and the environment here seems to be much better than the school, and he thinks to himself that his sister must be refusing to live here to take care of herself.
When I saw Mr. Li, the old man was leaning on the kang, with a mattress around his body and a cushion on his back.
The old man, who was originally energetic and full of energy, now has to be helped even when he walks, and even the corners of his mouth are a little crooked.
Luo Yumin rushed forward with a brisk step, and his two eyes immediately became as red as rabbit eyes.
The old man patted Luo Yumin's shoulder with a slightly trembling hand, and said with a trembling mouth: "Girl, don't cry, don't you see that I'm not good..."
A few years ago, when he occasionally knew that his sister knew martial arts, he had been pestering to learn, but his sister said that he couldn't teach him.
In his opinion, those who practice martial arts are all white-haired and long-haired masters who are outside the world, but why is this master this virtue now?
Luo Yuliang was stupid and couldn't understand it.
"Liangzi, call Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li was seriously ill just a few years ago."
Wiping away her tears, Luo Yumin pulled her brother over. "Grandpa Li, this is my younger brother Luo Yuliang."
Because there is no formal apprenticeship, Luo Yumin also calls Li Hong his grandfather.
"Hello Grandpa Li..."Luo Yuliang exclaimed politely.
"Okay, you're okay..." Although the recovery is good, the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage are still obvious, and there is some leakage in speech.
"Grandpa Li, are you alone in your family?" Luo Yuliang found that there was no one else in the room after coming in, so he asked casually.
Luo Yumin also had some doubts in his heart, didn't Senior Nephew Li say that there was also a nanny, could it be that he was lazy and hid out?
At noon, when Luo Yumin was in the office, he almost drove Li Zhonghua crazy, and finally Li Zhonghua confessed that when the family hired a nanny to take care of his grandfather, Luo Yumin let him go.
"The post office... Package..."
After the old man's intermittent explanation, the Luo family sisters and brothers understood that the nanny had gone to the post office to pick up the package.
"Grandpa Li, I brought meat and cabbage, and we will make dumplings to eat in the evening..."Luo Yumin said with a smile, pulling Old Man Li's arm and shaking it.
Before, Luo Yumin knew that the old man preferred to eat dumplings stuffed with cabbage, and there were also dumplings in Sister Yu's restaurant, but most of them used core-clad vegetables or shredded radish, and sometimes fennel, and very little Chinese cabbage was used.
Occasionally, when making cabbage-stuffed dumplings once or twice, Luo Yumin would pack a box and send it to the old man.
When he heard that there were cabbage-stuffed dumplings at night, the old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Luo Yuliang accompanied the old man to laugh, while Luo Yumin went into the kitchen, found the cutting board and began to process the pork belly.
Northerners have an old saying, dumplings will be more and more wine to eat, dumplings want to be delicious, this meat filling is the key.
Removing the pork skin, Luo Yumin cut the washed pork belly into small slices, and at the same time poked the stove on the stove, boiled a small pot of water, and threw a few peppercorns, half a large grain and a small piece of cinnamon.
Before chopping the stuffing, Luo Yumin also slapped a piece of ginger and chopped it into minced ginger and mixed it into the meat, sprinkled with a small spoonful of sugar, and then she waved her long arms.
Pork already has a fishy smell, add some sugar before chopping the filling, not only to remove the fat, but also play a role in improving freshness.
Holding a knife in his right hand, adding some salt and cooking wine in his left hand, a large piece of pork belly weighing almost two pounds became a pile of meat sauce and packed into a container.
After that, Luo Yumin filtered the boiled pepper water and mixed it with a part of the meat sauce, added enough salt, some soy sauce, and monosodium glutamate, and then stirred it in one direction with a pair of chopsticks until he felt some resistance in his hand.
This is done to make the meat filling strong, and when you bite into the skin of the cooked dumplings, you will find that the meat filling automatically becomes a small meat lump.
This method is also suitable for making steamed bun fillings, but if you like to eat juicy fillings, you can boil some meat skin jelly and chop it and mix it in.
There was no one else in the kitchen, Luo Yumin took out the space cabbage, compared to the previous vegetable market, this cabbage is twice as thick, the cabbage peduncle is crystal clear, like a good white jade, and the leaves are even more brittle and want to eat it.
After ten minutes, Luo Yumin mixed the dumpling filling and mixed the dough.
At present, the plane system has only two levels, four fields, can only grow cabbage, potatoes, corn and radish, not long ago Luo Yumin learned about it, and found that the three-level system not only has a large area of commodity trading types improved, but also can grow wheat and rice and other crops after the farmland increases, the number is as high as ten.
So she is now full of longing for the three-level system.
At that time, as long as you buy a thresher and a mill in the system, the flour and rice you eat at home can be produced and sold by yourself.
After the noodles are reconciled, they cannot be wrapped immediately, but they need to be placed in a basin for more than ten minutes or half an hour before the skin will taste better.
Because of the gap, Luo Yumin returned to the room and talked and laughed with Old Man Li and his younger brother.
While talking, I only heard a sound of footsteps outside the hospital, and I only heard someone say, "Just put it here, thank you..."
It was a woman who spoke, and the Li family's nanny returned and brought back a large box made of wooden strips.
"Old man, I'm back, do you want to drink water?" The nanny didn't bother to rest, slapped the clothes on her body, and walked into the room with her mouth still chattering.
Seeing two strangers appear in the house, the nanny was taken aback coldly, and her heart was a little vigilant at the moment.
Before she came to pray for the town, the leader had made a key explanation, asking her to take good care of the old man, and in return, she promised to get her son into the army. If a stranger hurts the old man, the leader will be angry.
"Who are you, and how did you get in?"
She asked her own reason, the yard is big, even if she knocks on the door outside, she can't hear it in the inner room, and it is impossible for the old man to get up to open the door because of his inconvenient legs, looking around, Teacher Li has not come back, she can't be suspicious.
"Xiao Liu, this is a Min girl, eat dumplings at night, you give her a hand..."
"Aunt Liu, I'm Luo Yumin, this is my younger brother Luo Yuliang, I have the key given by Grandpa Li here, so I opened the door and came in..."
Just as a few people were talking and laughing happily rolling out the skin and making dumplings, the door was pushed open again, and Luo Yuliang looked up and saw that the young man's fart. The strand was lifted off the bench and stood up.
"Lee. "He didn't understand why this Teacher Li, who had foreign blood, would appear at Grandpa Li's house. (To be continued.) )
