Chapter 15 Eat meat when the harvest is bad
It is said that everyone is surprisingly unanimous on the issue of eating, even the old Yuan Tou raised his hands in approval, Aunt Yuan was outnumbered, and packed up the farm tools and went home.
Quan Shui entered the courtyard and only left one sentence: "If there is no meat in the meal later, I won't go to the ground tomorrow, hum." After threatening Aunt Yuan, the spring went back to the house to rest.
Yuan Han covered his mouth and smiled secretly, spring water refueling, great, you don't have to be a bird, you can have good food.
Yuan Han went back to the house, got a basin of water, washed his face and hands, and went to the broken box in the corner to find a clean dress and put it on the kang, ready to wipe his body later and change it.
There are no conditions for bathing here, although the weather is good or not, but Yuan Han can't go to the yard to take a shower shirtless, don't ask why? Can girls take a shower in the yard shirtless, don't say that girls don't dare, women don't dare.
Boil some hot water, well, Yuan Han thought about it and went into the kitchen.
It was the first time she had looked so closely at the kitchen, with a bunch of cabbage and old pumpkins under the board, some sun-dried red peppers, smoked bacon hanging from the beams, and dried tofu smoked in a bamboo basket.
Yuan Han paced to the front of the stove, "Mother, boil me a pot of hot water, I'll wipe my body." ”
"What's the point of being poor?" Aunt Yuan glanced at Yuan Han, ignoring Yuan Han's words, she is not a young lady, so what is she doing.
"Mother, didn't you say that the four of us will be treated equally? I just want two scoops of hot water. Yuan Han said that he was pitiful, and looked at Aunt Yuan with a playful expression.
When Aunt Yuan heard the anger in her heart, she threatened herself with ten taels of silver, "Okay, my mother will boil water for you, you can go out." ”
I don't work, and I feel upset when I look at it as a poke stick here.
Yuan Han ignored Aunt Yuan'er's words, "Mother, what are you going to eat tonight?" ”
"What else can I eat? Left, but porridge and pickles, what else do you want to eat? The grain harvest is not as good as a year after year, and it is good to have porridge to drink. Aunt Yuan said to Yuan Han angrily.
Yuan Han nodded clearly, and had a new view of the ancient people in his heart, it turned out that the source of crying poverty has a long history, and he thought it was the patent of modern people.
Yuan Han is most unaccustomed to crying poor people, how poor he is in front of people, and he doesn't blink when he squanders extravagantly, just like Aunt Yuan in front of him, of course, the metaphor is a bit excessive.
There is bacon hanging on the beams of the house, and it seems that there is less than half a pig, but it is said that the harvest is not good, hmph, the grain harvest is not good, so let's eat meat.
"Mother is right, what do you cook and what do we eat? But is Big Brother okay? Yuan Han quietly put pressure on Aunt Yuan, with the character of spring water, he couldn't eat what he wanted for a while, so it was strange if he didn't lift the table.
As he was talking, the spring water came in, and he looked around, "Mother, have you started boiling?" What's the meal? I said hello, and if there was no meat, I went to my daughter-in-law's house. ”
Aunt Yuan was furious when she heard this, daughter-in-law, shameless, why don't you drive you out without a dowry? However, his own son was reluctant to suffer his share of sin.
Aunt Yuan didn't say no explicitly, but she didn't agree, and the spring water saw that there was hope, so she went out.
"Mother, I have a way to save food and meat." Yuan Han hugged his arms and said to Aunt Yuan.
Aunt Yuan looked at Yuan Han in disbelief and motioned for her to speak quickly.
"Mother, you take that pork leg off." Yuan Han pointed to the smoked pork leg that he had been eyeing for a long time and said to Aunt Yuan.
"Okay, you, don't work, and you're still worried about the old lady's pork legs," Aunt Yuan pointed at Yuan Han and scolded when she heard it, "If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home, let you eat now, and when your brother holds a wedding wine, what will you eat for the guests?" Chinese cabbage? ”
Yuan Han waved his hand and explained, "Don't worry, listen to me." Yuan Han was making Aunt Yuan angry, but in fact, she wanted to ask what to do with her happy wine?
Aunt Yuan gasped twice, "You say." ”
"I'm not asking you to cook the whole pork leg, I'm just asking you to cut a small piece, by the way, let's see what the dishes are," Yuan Han turned around and looked at the board, "Mother, are there only cabbage and pumpkin?" ”
"Then look at what's in the cellar next to the board." Aunt Yuan had a headache and touched her chin to think about how to cook dinner.
Yuan Han took a look in the vegetable cellar by himself, good guy, only potatoes and more Chinese cabbage, Yuan Han took a few potatoes from the cellar and gave them to Aunt Yuan.
"What are you doing with this? This is the potato that feeds the pigs. Aunt Yuan was surprised, this Yuan Han must be crazy.
Yuan Han was stunned in his heart, good guy, such a convenient vegetable was used as pig food by their ancient people, but if you think about it, it was said that potatoes were introduced early, but it was many years later that potatoes were really treated as vegetables.
"Just trust me." Yuan Han glanced at Aunt Yuan, to be honest, everyone in the Yuan family loves to roll their eyes.
"It's for pigs." Aunt Yuan felt that Yuan Han was making trouble.
Yuan Han was a little devastated, the pigs were fine if they ate them, why can't people eat them, and they didn't let you eat the water, really, "Then you can do it yourself, you don't believe it." ”
Aunt Yuan originally wanted to do it herself, but she wanted to know Yuan Han's way to save food, "I believe, I believe, it's just that the potato ......"
"How about I eat a few bites as a guinea pig, and if something happens, I'll do it first." Yuan Han patted his chest and recommended himself as a test subject.
Aunt Yuan thought about it like this and felt that it was okay, "Okay, you can say it." "What does it have to do with rats.
Yuan Han nodded with satisfaction, "You wash the pork leg meat and cut it into cubes, then peel and cut the potatoes into cubes, and then cut the red pepper into several sections." Stuff the pot with an appropriate amount of rice and set aside. ”
Aunt Yuan wrote them down one by one, washed her hands and began to operate.
Yuan Han saw that Aunt Yuan was moving, so he went to the pot to look at the hot water, it was almost over, and took a copper basin and scooped two scoops, "Mother, you are busy first, I'll wipe it and come." ”
Yuan Han wiped it clean in three or two clicks, changed the clean clothes on the kang, and then rushed to the kitchen refreshingly.
Yuan Han looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, he is an experienced old man in the kitchen, the color of this bacon marinade is so good, no pigments are added, not to mention the knife work, neat dices, and a little chili pepper.
"Well, is the rice ready?" Yuan Han looked at the pot again and asked Aunt Yuan.
Aunt Yuan took off the lid of the pot and saw that the rice was ready, Yuan Han saw that the materials were ready, "Put the rice up and dry it, and keep the pot." ”
Aunt Yuan is now riding a tiger, so she can only do it one by one.
"Mother, is there any ginger, old." Yuan Han didn't even think about it.
Aunt Yuan snorted angrily, "What do you say?" Old ginger, there must be. "This dead girl, are you talking about yourself?
After cutting another piece of ginger shreds, Yuan Han ordered to boil the pot.
