Chapter 206: Breathless
Tao Sixi returned home and found that Tao Dalan had not come back yet, presumably staying at Uncle Haishengtang's house to talk, the eldest sister was a chatter.
Tao Sixi came to the stove room, the stove room was so fragrant, Fan stood by the pot with an apron, holding a spatula in his hand, and was pressing a piece of fat in the oil pot in front of him, so that the fat inside could be squeezed out.
Tao Eryun squatted at the mouth of the stove, tending to the fire in the stove.
Seeing Tao Sixi coming in, Tao Eryun said, "Sent it?" ”
Tao Sixi nodded: "I personally sent it to Aunt Gu, Aunt Gu was very happy, and she said a lot of kind words to me." ”
Tao Eryun smiled.
Fan also said: "The sister-in-law of the Gu family is good to us, she sent so many dishes a few days ago, and the eggs haven't been eaten yet." It is also appropriate to accept a knife from our family. ”
Tao Sixi nodded.
Seeing Fan's sweaty appearance, he said, "Stepmother, you go to the side to rest for a while, and I will boil oil for a while." ”
When Fan Shi heard this, he was very happy, but his face refused: "No, no, this hot oil will splash out in a while, your fine skin and tender meat can't bear it, Fang Cai Eryun has to boil, and I will drive it away." ”
Tao Sixi glanced at Tao Eryun, Tao Eryun shrugged at her, and the sisters looked at each other and smiled.
Well, then stand and watch.
There is an empty wine jar on the side of the pot, which can hold about two or three catties of wine.
Fan scooped up the hot oil from the pot with a spatula and carefully poured it into the jar, and the boiling oil fell into the jar, making a 'squeak' crisp sound, just like popping beans.
When there was not much oil and water in the pot, Fan continued to press the fat meat.
Originally, it was cut into pieces of hob-shaped fat into the pot, but I had to squeeze the fat all the time, force out the last drop of oil and water inside, and finally condense it into pieces of crispy and browned oil shuttles, before I gave up!
Boiling oil is a very laborious task, and by the time it is over, an hour has passed.
Fortunately, Fan put a little in the cauldron in advance, and Tao Sixi bought back japonica rice to make porridge.
Fan sealed half of the jar of lard and didn't know where to hide it.
Tao Eryun smiled: "Mother, no one should steal this, right?" ”
Fan said: "Rapeseed oil has been stolen, let alone this lard?" This is a baby! ”
Tao Eryun and Tao Sixi sisters both pursed their lips and smiled.
Fan said: "I'll hide under my bed!" ”
When Fan's took the jar filled with lard and went to the east room to hide, in the stove room, Tao Sixi and Tao Eryun said: "Stepmother, this is the true inheritance of my milk, and everything is hidden under the bed." ”
Under Ma's bed, eggs, lard, and other things of little value were all hidden under the bed......
Hearing Tao Sixi's joke, Tao Eryun laughed again.
Soon, Fan hid the lard and came out, "Why hasn't Da Lan come back yet?" The porridge is boiled, she loves to eat oil shuttle, and she said when she left before, let the afternoon fry a bowl of oil shuttle with spicy seeds! ”
The spicy fried oil shuttle is also out of the pot, and the fragrance of garlic is added, which is particularly sultry.
Even Tao Sixi, who had eaten meat buns and returned to the village, was teased and hungry at the moment, so he waited for Tao Dalan to come back and start eating.
"I'll welcome you." Tao Sixi said.
Even if she stays at Uncle Haishengtang's house and chats, the eldest sister will not not come back for so long, she is not the kind of person who has no sense of proportion.
Tao Sixi had just walked to the fence gate in the courtyard when he saw Tao Dalan coming this way along the ridge over there.
"The eldest sister is back, second sister, tell your stepmother that it's time to eat." Tao Sixi turned his head and shouted at Tao Eryun, who was standing at the door of the hall, and then turned around and walked towards Tao Dalan.
After taking a few steps closer, I heard Tao Dalan lower his head, kicking the small stone on the side of the road with his foot as he walked, muttering in his mouth, looking angry.
Tao Sixi was stunned, who is the eldest sister unhappy with?
