Chapter Twenty-Four: Smooth
As she spoke, Yuan Xin suddenly felt that something was not quite right in the eyes of the people around her.
Xu Wanning's eyes had a feeling of wanting to skin her.
"Go pick up the car, I'll be waiting for you here. Yuan Xin turned his back to Xu Wanning, avoiding the terrifying gaze.
Xu Wanning wanted to put down her things and then ride Yuan Xin back, but Yuan Xin walked back to the Educated Youth Institute by herself after jumping off the car at Lin's house.
Xu Wanning pushed open the door and saw that the originally clean and tidy yard was in a mess at this time, and Da Chun'er and her sister were even more embarrassed, with chicken feathers and duck feathers on their bodies and heads.
"Anin is back. Mother Lin carried a basin of hot water and dragged one leg out, "There is hot rice in the pot, you can eat a bite to cushion your stomach first." ”
"Mom, ...... you?"
Most of the chickens and ducks in the chicken pen are missing, and there are a lot of piles next to the well, and a few of them have just bled and haven't had time to shed their hair: "There is still more than a month before the New Year, is it too early to marinate bacon?"
"I thought to myself, every month your mother's family sends parcels, but we never send anything to them, which is not appropriate. Mother Lin said with a smile: "Besides, the chicken pen at home is so big, and the eldest sister of Dachun has been a little unable to feed it in the past few days, so I simply killed a few, and when the air is dry, I will send it back to your parents." ”
Xu Wanning was a little touched in her heart.
Although she did plan to get a few air-dried chickens, ducks and bacon, she had planned to take them from the space and leave them for the children at home. Unexpectedly, Mother Lin did it for her.
Although it is only a few chickens and ducks, it is a lot of wealth for the rural people in the 70s who can only eat meat a few times a year.
Mother Lin was not reluctant in the slightest.
And Xu Wanning looked carefully, the ones selected by Mother Lin were the fattest, and the dozen or so left in the chicken pen were either still chicks or malnourished.
"I killed four hens, eight roosters, and five ducks, and settled your uncle's and second uncle's house. By the way, I also made all the duck eggs you exchanged last time into salted duck eggs, and they will be made in a few days. ”
Lin Mu muttered softly: "Hei Province is so far away from Beijing, I don't know if the salted duck eggs will be crushed if they are sent over." ”
She raised her eyes to look at Xu Wanning, "A-Ning, do you think this will be too little?"
"No need, Mom. Xu Wanning smiled: "It's enough." When my parents and two uncles see what I sent back, they will be very happy. ”
"It's good to be happy, it's good to be happy. ”
Xu Wanning looked at Lin Mu's relieved appearance, and a warm current crossed her heart.
The Xu family is happy, not these chickens and ducks, but the Lin family's love for the pearl of their family's palm!
Even though the original body did a lot of things to hurt Mother Lin, this old lady didn't care about it and treated her well.
Xu Wanning thought that she was really picking up a treasure when she wore a book this time.
"Alright, don't stand here stupidly, go eat something to fill your stomach first. ”
"Okay, I'll help after dinner. ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy until it was getting late, and finally cleaned up the mess in the yard.
"When I get back, I'll buy some pork from the butcher Sun in the east of the village, marinate it into bacon, and send it back to your family at a time. ”
"Well, I'll buy it tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
After checking the homework of the two children, Xu Wanning went back to the bedroom, and took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, sitting under the kerosene lamp to write the recipe for two days.
In the seventies, everyone's life was generally not very good, and Dajiang Village was a well-known poor village in Hei Province, so the meals served could not be too good, so as not to fall into the mouth.
The leader is from Beijing, and he must have eaten a lot of good things, so while taking care of their tastes, he also has to catch people's attention.
Xu Wanning deleted, deleted, and finally decided on eight dishes.
The specialty of Black Province, pork stewed vermicelli must come to a serving, and another chicken stewed mushroom, the mushrooms she bought today are the most suitable for stewed chicken soup, as long as it is done well, it can freshen people's eyebrows.
I just don't know if there are fresh wild mushrooms in the back mountains at this time.
In addition, there is another famous snack pot wrapped meat in Hei Province, as well as casserole white meat in Beijing.
For the vegetarian one, there is a colorful big peel, stir-fried shredded potatoes, vinegared cabbage and seaweed egg drop soup.
The combination of meat and vegetables is balanced in nutrition, which can not only highlight the characteristics of the black province, but also take into account the taste of the leader.
Xu Wanning did not follow the requirements of the captain and the village chief to try her best to make Beijing dishes.
She has her own considerations, after all, the leaders stay in Beijing all the year round, and they are almost tired of eating those dishes, and it is difficult for her to make eye-catching food without knowing whether the leaders have salty or light tastes and their preference for sweet and spicy tastes.
Because the contrast is too stark.
And the dishes she chose are basically eaten by people from the east, west, south and north.
After writing, Xu Wanning stretched her waist and went to bed.
She didn't even notice that there was one less person in the house today.
In the middle of the night, Xu Wanning was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the house.
She snapped her eyes open, but straightened herself and didn't dare move.
She inherited the memory of her original body, and she had never heard of someone in Dajiang Village who had been robbed by someone, could it be that she was really carrying it like this, and this kind of thing was about to be encountered by her?
Even though she tried hard not to make a sound, her sudden rapid voice made it noticeable that she was awake.
"Don't be afraid, it's me. ”
It was Lin An's mellow and hoarse voice, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear his exhaustion.
The crisis was lifted, Xu Wanning turned over and sat up, and then saw Lin An sitting on a stool, the sleeve of his right arm faded down, revealing a strong arm.
And he was wrapping his arm in gauze, and Xu Wanning could even smell a faint smell of blood.
"Are you injured?" Xu Wanning exclaimed.
"A little injury, it's not in the way, don't tell your mother and children, lest they worry. ”
Xu Wanning responded, put on her shoes and walked up to him: "I'll help you bandage it." ”
Lin An obviously didn't use his left hand, and he hadn't tied the gauze for a long time, but when he saw that Xu Wanning's white and delicate hand had reached over, he didn't refuse.
Xu Wanning dismantled the gauze and re-bandaged it, but when she saw the scar clearly, she gasped.
The scar spread from her lower arm to her elbow, and it was so deep that she could see even the outermost flesh turning up in the light of the moonlight.
"You still say it's a minor injury?" Xu Wanning couldn't help but raise her voice, and said angrily: "Wait a minute, I'll go get the red potion." ”
