Chapter 5 Braised Eggplant

"Eldest sister, did you really drive Zhou Hengyang away? In fact, although Zhou Hengyang ignores you and doesn't like to talk, he is a good person. But if you don't like it, don't forget it! ”

"You ...... None of them? Su Wen asked tentatively.

Su Xiu asked incomprehensibly: "What are you against?" As long as you make a decision, big sister. She was so tired that she couldn't even walk, and when she sat on the ground, she collapsed. On the calf of the pants rolled up, staring at a leech, already sucking blood, bulging.

Su Wen was most afraid of leeches, so she jumped up on the spot in fright, but scared the two sisters.

"What are leeches afraid of! This thing can't be pulled with your hands when it sucks blood, you can only slap it hard and it will fall off. Su Xiu slapped the leech off his leg, poked the branch and threw it out, and he could die in the sun after a while.

"Now the rice is being planted in the field, and it's normal to have leeches. I checked it before I came home, no, sit down, big sister! ”

Su Wen's scalp was numb, so she was still in the mood to continue sitting. She also planted seedlings when she was a child, but at that time, she would wear sleeves when planting seedlings, and there were those that were specially worn on her legs, not afraid of leeches. Not yet!

Thinking of this, she had an idea and found a way to make money.

Make sleeve guards!

"Zhou Hengyang will be your brother-in-law in the future, and I don't plan to change you to a new brother-in-law. Okay, you guys rest, I'll go cook. ”

The two sisters looked like they were going to cry, but they were still mentally prepared. Even if the eldest sister makes it unpalatable, they will eat it.

"Eldest sister, I'll help you, I'll light the fire." Su Xiaomei jumped up and chased after her, looking like a dog, eager to do any work, and resolutely not to be an idler who eats rice.

*****

The Su family is indeed poor, and there is no seasoning in the kitchen, only cornmeal, and there is still a lot of oil left in the enamel jar. The only fifty-five yuan left in the family was given to Zhou Hengyang, even if he wanted to buy something.

Su Wen followed her grandmother to do housework since she was a child, and later worked hard outside alone, cooking by herself in order to save money, and her cooking skills were very good. While thinking about how to make cornmeal delicious, she went to walk around the private plot behind the house.

The three sisters of the self-reserved land are well cared for, and May is the season when vegetables are vigorous. Green peppers, green greens, purple eggplant.

Su Wen picked a basket of eggplants, came back and washed them and cut them into thick slices, planning to burn the eggplants and paste cornmeal tortillas on the side of the pot.

This is convenient and fast, the eggplant is cooked well, and the oil is willing to be put to burn the taste of the meat.

Su Xiaomei squatted on the stove to help light the fire, Su Wen was very willing to put oil in her neat movements, and the eggplant was fried in oil in a pot and burned out very fragrant. In these years, vegetables and grains are all grown naturally, and the taste is far better than that of later generations.

A basket of eggplants cut in half and eat the rest in the evening. Boil a small half pot, and when it is boiling, stick the cornmeal batter on the side of the pot, and then cover the pot and bring to a boil.

This method is the most suitable for rural areas, the iron pot is large, and the firewood and firepower are also even, not to mention how fragrant the food is.

Su Xiaomei was already drooling, squatting on the ground while burning the fire, and peeking at Su Wen adoringly. It's the first time I found out that the eldest sister is so powerful. She's had eaten a full meal for a long time, and she's going to have a big meal today.

Outside, Su Xiu was busy washing clothes with a washboard, and when she smelled the fragrance, she couldn't wait, and her eyes came in with a green light.

"Sister, what are you doing? Why does it smell so good? ”

"Braised eggplant, go wash your hands and start the meal."

Su Xiu and Su Xiaomei cheered, washed their hands Su Wen had already put out the dishes and cakes and put them on the table. Half of the tortilla is soaked in a rich broth, which is delicious and delicious.

"Eldest sister, your craftsmanship is so good." Su Xiu is not too hot, and can't wait to take a bite of the cake, the entrance is fragrant and springy, and the taste is stronger and more flavorful. When I took a bite of the eggplant, it was so oily that I almost swallowed my tongue.
