"Aunt Lan's family has a lot of vegetables, I can see this matter, I'll go get some money for you to buy vegetables." Li Qiu put down the garlic that was peeling in his hand and went into the back room to get the money.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, this is thirty yuan, you can watch and buy it! Come back early. Li Qiu handed over the money to Li Wenshi and admonished.

"Don't worry! We must get things done, and let's go, two brothers and sisters. Li Wen's family collected the money and greeted Li Sun's family, and went out to Aunt Lan's house to buy vegetables.

As soon as the two women stepped out of the house, they happened to meet Li Yangwu who came back from cutting bamboo, Li Yangwu entered the yard with a bamboo in one hand and a knife in the other, and began to clean up the bamboo, shaved off the branches and used a knife to divide the bamboo into two, and then cut it into sections and began to cut the signature, and after a while, there were dozens of bamboo sticks piled on the ground.

"Little sister, look at it, how is this stick? Need to change it? Li Yangwu saw that the matter sent to him had already come out, so he wanted Li Yangqing to check it first.

Li Yangqing heard Li Yangwu's voice beckoning him, so he got up and walked to Li Yangwu's side, picking up a stick on the ground, "Second brother, you are very fast!" The skewer is well sharpened, and it is best to polish it more smoothly, after all, the entrance will not scratch the mouth, and then put it in the water to wash it after it is sharpened. ”

"It's still a little sister who is careful." After Li Yangwu got Li Yangqing's guidance, in order to keep improving the bamboo skewer, he found a piece of coarse cloth and polished the skewer vigorously.

"Sister-in-law, we're back." Li Wendong, Li Chenggang, Li Chengqiang, and Li Yangming came back with a large bundle of dry firewood that was resistant to burning and put it in the firewood shed.

"Boss, I've written the name of the signboard, you can go to my house and take that wooden board out to engrave it." Old man Li splashed ink in the house alone, wrote a few big characters in one go, and reminded Li Yangde to take the wooden board to engrave the words.

"Okay, Dad, I'll pack up the firewood first, and then I'll get it." Li Yangde was chopping wood, and after listening to Li Tingyuan's words, he accelerated the movements in his hands, and danced with an axe.

The sound of "click" closing the door sounded, and the people who were working heard the movement of the courtyard gate, and they all raised their heads to look at the gate, it turned out that Li Wen's and Li Sun's were back.

"Mother, we sold courgettes, loofahs, mustard greens, and bamboo shoots at Aunt Lan's house, almost more than 30 catties! Aunt Lan said that if you don't have so much money, you have to give us more, or the sister-in-law stuffed the money into Aunt Lan's hand, picked up the dishes and ran away, and we also washed these dishes before bringing them back. Li Sun carried a basket full of vegetables and put it at Li Yangqing's feet, waiting for her to tell the next step.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you go to the kitchen to slice the melon vegetables, and divide the leaf vegetables into small sections, and then skewer them on the skewers, just cut enough for our family to eat tonight, and then skewer when the stall is set up the day after tomorrow, and the dishes will be fresher."

"Okay, how are your spices doing?" Li Sun was still quite curious about the spices in Li Yangqing's mouth.

"I'm grinding the powder now, and I'll be fine right away." Li Qiu pushed the small stone grinding edge and put the materials in return.

"Little sister, my skewers are also cut, and I can skewer the dishes." Li Yangwu carried a basin of washed and dried bamboo sticks into the kitchen.

After half an hour, the spices and dishes were ready, and the family skewered around the table, except for Li Yangde who was carving a wooden signboard.

"Sister-in-law, you see that I have a good string, can you? When to eat! Li Chenggang showed the skewers to Li Yangqing as if offering a treasure, and he was worried about eating.

Li Yangqing rubbed his little nephew's little face, "Cheng Gang is really amazing, you can make it after skewering all the dishes in this pot." ”

There are many people and great strength, and a pot of vegetables quickly bottomed out in everyone's talking and laughing, Li Qiu entered the kitchen with the skewers, and the other female members of the Li family followed into the kitchen, of course, followed by a few gluttonous boys.

Li Qiu's entered the stove and was responsible for lighting the fire, Li Sun and Li Wen's were responsible for listening to Li Yangqing's command to make fried skewers, Li Wen's washed the pot, and saw that the pot was slowly heating up, and the remaining water droplets in the pot began to disappear, wisps of white smoke came out of the pot, it was time to do something, Li Wenshi turned his head to Li Yangqing beside him and asked: "Little sister, the pot is already hot, what should you do now?" ”

"Second sister-in-law, please take out the oil jar that was boiled last time from the cabinet, pour the lard into the pot, and wait for the grease to melt first before making the next step."

"Okay!" Li Sunshi quickly took out the oil jar from the cabinet and put it on the stove, Li Wenshi found a spoon and vigorously dug out the lard that had condensed into a ball after the jar was cold, and put the yellow-white solid lard into the pot one by one.

After putting the solidified pork, Li Sunshi turned over the lard in the pot with a shovel to accelerate the melting of the lard, and the lard that turned into oil and water began to jump in the pot when it was hot, and the sound of "bilible crackling" came and went, and the oil bubbles had begun to bubble.

"Sister-in-law, quickly put the skewers into the pan and let the hot oil fry through." Li Yangqing saw that the oil for the fried skewers had been boiled, so he instructed Li Wenshi to put the skewers on.

Li Wenshi first took a few bunches of vegetables and put them in the hot oil in the pot, let the hot oil cover the vegetables, and then a tempting fragrance spread.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Li Chengqiang sighed involuntarily when he smelled the fragrance, swallowed his saliva hard, and inhaled the fragrance deeply with his nose, and a group of children all showed the same eager eyes, staring closely at the food in the pot.

Li Sunshi scooped up the fried skewers and put them in the basket, and then put some skewers to fry them, so repeated several times to fry a pot of vegetables, Li Yangqing first picked up a handful of fried skewers that were ready to put only salt and no spices and divided them into a plate, and the remaining fried skewers were flipped and evenly sprinkled with spices, Li Yangqing gave the finished fried skewers to the people in the kitchen and divided them into a bunch, so that everyone could try it first.

"Oops! It's so delicious, sister-in-law, this fried skewer is crispy and fragrant. As soon as Li Cheng got the skewer, he couldn't wait to deliver it to his mouth.

Li Wenshi took a string and put it in his mouth and took a bite, "The taste is really good, I can't describe this taste, it's just a delicacy that I've never tasted, I still want to eat it, it's addictive and can't stop." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what my sister-in-law said." Li Sun hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Li Qiu tasted it, and also said from the inside: "I have lived for most of my life, this taste is also the first time I have tasted it today, it is the heaviest I have ever tasted, people are old and their taste is not sensitive, this thing can actually arouse the greed of my old wife, hehe!" ”

"I also like to eat this, the dish with the smell of oil is delicious." Even Li Wenqiu, who has always been quiet and well-behaved, couldn't help but have an endless aftertaste after eating the skewers in his hand.

Li Wendong lowered his head and ate the skewers in his hand cleanly, and even licked the oil and water on the skewers, "This will definitely be sold for money, and the elderly and young people love to eat it!" ”

"Hearing you say this, I am more confident, sisters-in-law, then hurry up and boil some Shu millet porridge! Wait a minute, let the grandfathers try it early. Seeing the unanimous praise of everyone in the kitchen, Li Yangqing couldn't wait to listen to the feedback of several adult men in the family.

"The water in the pot will boil quickly, and it will be ready in a while, so you can go out and wait first! I'll cut some pickles for dinner later. Li Wenshi saw the child who was still looking at the fried skewers on the plate, so he wanted to drive everyone to the kitchen, although the children who were driven away were a little reluctant, but out of the kitchen, they proudly described the taste of fried skewers to the grandfather and father who had not yet tasted the taste outside the courtyard.

"Little sister, what do you think of my signboard?" Li Yangde handed the polished thin wooden board to Li Yangqing to see if there was anything that needed to be adjusted.

Li Yangqing looked at the engraved words, and touched it, "Big brother, you carved it very well, since we sell fried skewers, why don't you carve a fried skewer on it, this is called illustrated and illustrated, I will draw it for you, can you see it?" Li Yangqing found a small stone in the courtyard and drew a stick figure of a Q version of the baby holding a fried skewer on the ground.

"Little sister, the little baby you painted is quite cute, very vivid, I'll carve it to try", Li Yangde has helped the family to create large and small wooden furniture for so many years, bamboo baskets, baskets are not a problem, for him this experienced craftsman, this stick figure to be engraved on the board is difficult for him.

With the disappearance of the last sunset on the horizon and the night came, everyone in the Li family sat at the dinner table with excitement, and picked up the fried skewers on the plate with novelty and eagerness to eat, and the fried skewers tasting meeting began.

Li Tingyuan first picked up a bunch of fried skewers with loofah and courgette and sniffed the smell, opened his mouth to eat it, chewed it and swallowed it into his stomach, and savored the taste in his mouth, "The aroma is attractive, the vegetables are more sweet after being fried in oil and water, and the spices are the finishing touch, and the aftertaste is endless, not bad." ”

Li Yangwu, a person who has always only cared about being full, couldn't help but think of other ways to eat fried skewers, "This is much better than boiled dishes, I think in addition to eating this fried skewers alone, this thing can also be used as a snack!" Best with wine. ”

Li Sun listened to Li Yangwu's comparison of fried skewers with boiled vegetables, so he glanced at Li Yangwu's knife, "Can that be compared?" Can the big oil not taste good? ”

"Father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, nephews, there is also a fried skewer on the table that is ready to be sold cheaply without spices, how about you try it too?" Li Yangqing pointed to the fried skewers on the table with only salt and no spices, and asked everyone to continue to be food judges.

After everyone heard this, they cooperated and picked up the kind of skewers that Li Yangqing said and tasted them carefully.

"I prefer this unspiced, maybe I'm used to eating light, after the oil, the fragrance of the vegetables is stronger, and it is also suitable for children." Li Wenshi judged.

After Li Yangming ate fried skewers with and without spices, he commented objectively in essence: "For poor people who want to eat oily taste, whether there is a seasoning or not is secondary, this is cheaper without spices, and there must be many people who buy it, who doesn't want to taste the food with oil and water." ”

Li Yangqing saw that the men, women and children who had eaten were all welcome to the fried skewers, it seems that this thing can be done, and the tastes of men, women and children can be taken care of, "I think so, tomorrow in addition to the skewers to be sold, I also need to go to the town to buy some things, I want to buy four catties of lard to boil oil, buy two catties of fat pork, two catties of pork ribs, and buy two catties of wheat flour to come back to make rape dumplings." ”

"Little sister, what are rape dumplings? Wheat flour is also used. Li Yangde asked curiously.

Li Yangqing looked curious when he saw the others, "The remaining dishes of the skewers are wrapped in a little salted wheat flour paste, made into a steamed bun about the same size, put it in a hot oil pot, and turn it while frying to make the embryo bulge, plump and swell until crispy, and it is golden brown. ”
