Chapter 15: Aunt Teach Wei to cook mutton soup
Li Wei is the man recruited by Aunt Wei. What does this man say, it looks like his facial features are still very good.
It is said that Li Wei fled from a bad family situation. Wei Xiucai saw that he was honest and responsible, so he recruited Aunt Wei.
Uncle Wei was very moved, but he didn't want to make the two sisters so embarrassed because of himself: "No need for the eldest sister and second sister, I can just read at home by myself." My father also taught me a lot, and I can learn it myself. ”
Wei Xiaoniang said: "What stupid things to say, learn by yourself, where is the master to teach well?" ”
Aunt Wei also said: "When my father was here, my body was not good. What can teach you is something superficial. It's better to go to school. ”
Aunt Wei runs the family and has not given birth to children until now.
However, the two families worked together for Uncle Wei to study, and it was barely possible.
If you find a school that is not very famous, it will not cost much.
But how could Shen Yanling let Uncle Wei go to those unknown schools? In later generations, so many students crossed the single-plank bridge in the college entrance examination, for what?
Isn't it because the teachers of prestigious schools are stronger?
Aunt Wei asked, "Eldest sister, you said that you found a job for me and Li Wei, what is it?" Could it be that the general judge found us a job? ”
This is the only thing Aunt Wei can think of.
As for what Wei Xiaoniang came up with to do business, Aunt Wei didn't expect it.
Li Wei's eyes are also bright, if it is a job to find through the judgment, it must be more decent and easier.
Most of the land in Yangzhou has to be sold to save face.
Wei Xiaoniang shook her head: "No, it's what Yunlan thought of to make a living." Among the things I brought with me today is a big piece of lamb, and some haggis, you take them out. I see that it will be noon soon, let Yunlan give you a demonstration, you learn how to make mutton soup, and we will discuss this matter later. ”
Aunt Wei was very strange, but since the eldest sister said so, she went in to find something and came out.
Shen Yanling and Aunt Wei went to the kitchen, where an earthen stove was built, and Shen Yanling would not burn the fire.
Aunt Wei said, "I'll make a fire!" ”
Shen Yanling stopped Aunt Wei: "Auntie, what I'm going to do today is to teach you how to cook this mutton." Let's let the cherries go to the fire! ”
Cherry is Shen Yanling's female envoy, it is not good to do hard work, after all, it is still young, but it is still okay to burn the fire.
Aunt Wei actually didn't want Cherry to burn the fire, this little person.
However, in poor families, it is also common for children to burn fires.
Fluttershy laughs, "I'll do it anyway." I'll still burn this fire. ”
Fluttershy went to light the fire, and Shen Yanling looked at the stove and said to Uncle Wei, "Uncle, go and bring me a chair." ”
When Uncle Wei saw it, he immediately laughed.
After all, Shen Yanling is only four years old, and his height is there.
The family laughed out loud, and Shen Yanling was very annoyed. But age is here, height is naturally not good.
"I can't learn yet!" Shen Yanling said with annoyance.
It was the first time Wei Xiaoniang had seen Shen Yanling lose her temper, of course, she was just a little angry.
Children, too, want to save face.
The whole family couldn't help laughing, but Sheng Minglan couldn't help it.
Shen Yanling stared at Sheng Minglan fiercely: "Minglan, if you laugh at me again, I won't make you anything to eat next time!" ”
Sheng Minglan is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that Shen Yanling will say that she will never cook for her next time.
This is what Sheng Minglan is most afraid of.
Immediately, Sheng Minglan couldn't help laughing and made a shut-up gesture on her mouth.
Uncle Wei quickly brought a chair, Shen Yanling wanted to climb up, but Uncle Wei directly hugged her and put her on the chair.
Hmph, old, what's the big deal?
I'll grow taller too!
"Auntie, you take out the mutton, and then there is that little jar of wine, I will tell you how to clean ......"
"Well, rub some salt on it, it's a great way to get rid of the fish......"
"Blanch the mutton and haggis and get the blood out first......"
Little by little, Shen Yanling told Aunt Wei all about her knowledge of cooking mutton soup.
Aunt Wei is also a veteran of cooking, and Wei Xiucai was originally quite wealthy, so when Wei Xiaoniang was a child, she could still study with Wei Xiucai.
But Wei Xiucai got sick later, and all the valuable things at home were taken out and sold.
So Aunt Wei has to do all the housework and everything.
For things like cooking, Aunt Wei is old.
After an hour, the smell of mutton soup filled the whole house, even towards the village.
"What kind of scent is this?"
"Smell like it's coming from the end of the village?"
"Oh, it seems that the eldest sister of the Wei family is back today."
Words like that, coming out of the mouths of the villagers.
But everyone didn't come over, and the sisters and brothers finally reunited. And today is the Midyear Festival, in fact, everyone buys some pork and the like, and every household eats meat.
It's just that it's not as fragrant as the Wei family.
Aunt Wei's nose moved, and she said, "This fragrance is simply amazing, I have never smelled such a fragrant smell." ”
Uncle Wei nodded: "Me too, the best thing I've ever eaten, it's still a meal that my eldest sister took me to eat in Yangzhou." ”
It was one of the few delicacies that Uncle Wei could remember.
Wei Xiaoniang's nose was a little sour, when Uncle Wei was born, her mother went because of difficult childbirth.
Soon after, his father fell ill again, and the Wei family began to fall into the middle of the family.
Since he was a child, Uncle Wei really hasn't eaten anything good.
Li Wei comforted: "In the future, the situation at home will be better, and you will definitely make up for Wei Chen." It's all brother-in-law who has no ability and can't make money. ”
Wei Xiaoniang: "Whatever my brother-in-law says, it's all a family, don't say this." ”
Seeing that the scene was a little sad, Shen Yanling interjected and said, "Life will be better in the future." The previous sufferings were all tempered for us. When life is better in the future, this is also a precious memory! ”
Shen Yanling's words made everyone present stunned.
Aunt Wei was the first to come back to her senses and smiled, "Isn't it?" These are all precious memories for us. No matter how hard life is, it is also the life of our family! ”
Uncle Wei was also a little excited, he didn't complain anything, his parents didn't bring him any good life or anything like that.
Wei Xiaoniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Let's still drink sheep's head soup!" ”
When the soup was cooking, Shen Yanling asked Aunt Wei to take some Erhe noodles out and paste some cakes.
Speaking of which, the Sheng family must eat white noodles, but the Wei family can't afford to eat pure white noodles.
The noodles here are made of sorghum and millet.
Just this mutton soup, eating the cakes of Erhe noodles, not to mention, the taste is different.
Uncle Wei nodded: "This is the best thing I've ever eaten." ”
Aunt Wei also said, "It's strange. I usually eat cakes, but I don't think it's delicious. Today's cakes really taste different! ”
