Chapter 136: Go to Zhenping County
After the size of several people's clothes was measured, Mu Xiaocao said to Zhou Shuilian: "Mother, Xiaohua and Brother Pan's clothes still have mine, I will sew them, and you can sew your own and Xiu ones." ”
"It's okay, anyway, let's do it together, and whoever does it counts." Zhou Shuilian picked up the scissors and began to cut.
"And mother, there are more quilts in the house, and the cover at home should be enough, I want to take my brother to live in the room inside." After Mu Xiaocao came back, because the quilt at home was not enough, he had been squeezing on a kang with his parents, and a rag curtain was drawn in the middle.
Before, because of the constraints, the current bedding is enough, so Mu Xiaocao also wants to sleep alone with his brother.
"Okay, yes, but the kang will be burned in two days, and you and Xiaocao won't have to sleep on the kang by then." Zhou Shuilian said.
"I looked, the kang in the room inside is not a dead kang, it is connected to the kang outside, and the kang is also hot when it burns, and when it gets cold again, Xiu will also sleep with me and Brother Pan to keep warm." Mu Xiaocao had long wanted to sleep separately, so he had carefully observed them.
"Okay."
Mu Shui squatted at the door, teasing Xiaohua and Brother Pan to play, and looked up from time to time at the mother and daughter in the room talking and laughing about making the bed and tidying up the room, he grinned innocently, this is really good.
After the beds were made, Mu Xiu began to make sausages, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao all surrounded them, and they were curious to see what Mu Xiu did, Mu Xiu took out one end of the casing, put it on the mouth of the funnel, and tied it tightly with a cotton rope.
After tying tightly, stuff the meat slices into the funnel, and then use a rolling pin to push the mouth of the bottle, pour the meat slices into the casing, and when each time you pour the meat of a funnel, push the meat in the casing under the funnel backwards, so that the casing is not too tight, and push while filling until all the meat slices are poured into the casing.
Finally, the end of the sausage is knotted, and the meat is pushed tightly every other section and tied with a cotton rope, and finally the sausage is tied in whole sections.
"Okay, just hang it on the kitchen beam, and wait for a month or so before you can eat." Mu Xiu stood up, stretched his waist, and pointed to the dozen or so sausages that had been made.
It takes a lot of meat to make sausages, Mu Xiu added a lot of meat to it, and only then did it come out in eleven sections, although Mu Xiaocao was a little strange how to chop meat, the meat looked a little more, but he didn't think too much......
Looking at the sausage hung by Mu Shui, thinking that he would be able to eat all kinds of delicious sausages made with sausage immediately, Mu Xiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva......
Seeing that this meat was stored like this, Mu Xiaocao also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was no waste.
The Spring Festival is approaching, Lu Yuan's parents can't get away from work for a while, and after Lu Yuan has a winter vacation, they let Lu Yuan come back to accompany Mr. Lu, and Lu Yuan has no friends here, so he reads books at home and plays chess with Mr. Lu every day.
As for Zhou Qianqian, because at the end of the year, she was busy with work and couldn't get out, otherwise she would have chased after her by this time.
"Hello chief." Oda walked into the house and saluted.
"Oda, did you buy it?" Lu Niandong picked up a white chess piece and gently put it down.
"Report chief, I walked all over the streets and alleys, but I didn't find this Sun Ji pickle, and everyone has never heard of it." Oda replied.
"How can you not ask? That's all there are in store. Lu Niandong frowned, this Xiaotian is getting more and more inefficient, it's been two days, and he hasn't found it yet.
"Chief, this pickle was sent by the child of one of your comrades-in-arms last time, and I think he may have brought it from his house."
"It's Xiao Sun, his family lives in Zhenping County, so he may have bought it from their county seat." Under Xiao Tian's prompting, Lu Niandong recalled the current home address of this comrade-in-arms.
"Grandpa, what is this Sun Ji pickles?" Lu Yuan raised his head and asked a little puzzled.
"You're late, it's the best pickle I've ever tasted, and when you buy it back, you'll know if you taste it." Lu Niandong squinted his eyes, smashed his mouth, looked at Xiao Tian again as if he had an aftertaste, and said, "Xiao Tian, you will go to Zhenping County now to see if you can buy it." ”
"Chief, why don't you call and confirm first?" Oda asked.
"No, if I call and ask, they will definitely send it over, I just don't want to trouble them, this is what I want to eat, then I have to buy it myself." Lu Niandong hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Grandpa, I'd better go for a trip." Lu Yuan felt a little familiar as soon as he heard Zhenping County, and then suddenly remembered, isn't Mu Xiu from Yingwu Village, Zhenping County?
Lu Yuan's heart suddenly moved, instead of having nothing to do here every day, it is better to go out for a walk, and by the way, see what kind of place can grow a little girl like Mu Xiu who can cook.
Lu Yuan didn't know why, after returning to the capital, Mu Xiu's smart eyes and superb cooking skills often appeared in his mind.
"You're going?" Lu Niandong thought he had misheard.
"It's boring to be at home all day, grandpa, don't you often tell me that it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles?" Lu Yuan shook his head, he was just going to relax, not to find Mu Xiu.
"Okay, then I'll let Xiao Tian accompany you." Lu Niandong was a little worried.
"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore, I've been to many places by myself, don't worry about it, I'll pack up and leave, and I'll call back when I arrive."
"Then I'll ask Xiao Tian to take you to the station, good boy, go pack your things, otherwise when your grandma comes back, you won't want to leave!" Lu Niandong looked at Lu Yuan, who was now a head taller than him, and a sense of relief rose in his heart, this is his grandson, and he has grown into such a big guy!
Hearing this, Lu Yuan hurriedly got up, went upstairs to pack a few changes of clothes, and carried a simple schoolbag to the bus station, Xiao Tian drove a car and took Lu Yuan to the bus station.
Lu Yuan had a bumpy road, because there was no car directly to Zhenping County, Lu Yuan went to the city to which Zhenping County belonged, found the post office in the city, reported Lu Niandong safety, and then rested in the city for a night, and then took the car to the county seat again, and finally arrived at Zhenping County at dusk the next day.
Sun Ji pickles, which can not be found in the provincial capital, are known to everyone in Zhenping County, and after Lu Yuan got off the train from the station, he casually asked someone to inquire about it, and found Sun Ji without much effort.
Lu Yuan stood outside the door, looking at the crowd of people coming in and out, he really didn't expect that it was just a pickle, how could it seem that business was so good.
When Lu Yuan walked into the store, what he saw was several rows of pickle jars placed in front of the counter, which were cleaned up, and then looked inside, there were several rows of tables and chairs.
