5 Military wives in the 80s (4)

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoxiao took the money and went to the nearby village for a walk, she wanted to raise only two chickens, the family has this on the first floor, just find some waste materials to fence and put in the open space in front of the building, so that the eggs in her space have a provenance.

Lin Xiaoxiao was not familiar with her life, and she was afraid that people would deceive her, so she deliberately found someone who looked good at the house and knocked on the door.

"Hello, auntie! I'm a newcomer to the army and want to buy two hens from you, do you have any hens? Lin Xiaoxiao opened his mouth to identify himself first. She also thought too much, and as soon as she heard her speak Mandarin, experienced people in the village knew that she was a family member of the new arrival in the army.

Not to mention that the soldiers are now very respected, but they are not respected, and the villagers do not dare to mess with these soldiers, but they often hear the sound of gunfire during training. Every time they practice, there are many people, and the worst second-rate people in the village don't dare to look at these family members when they encounter them.

"Yes, yes, yes, how big do you want a chicken?" When the aunt of the Qu family heard that someone paid to buy the chicken, she said three good words in a row excitedly.

"Auntie, the hens that can lay eggs, of course, the smaller the better, and if there are chicks, I am willing to buy a few." Lin Xiaoxiao also wants to eat meat often, so it's inconvenient to go out, so she has to have other ideas, raising a few more chickens and eating chicken.

"You wait, you go and catch you." After saying that, Aunt Qu ran away in a hurry, and she didn't even talk about the price.

Ten years later, Aunt Qu appeared in front of Lin Xiaoxiao with a chicken nest head, her clothes seemed to have chicken feces on her clothes, and the shoes on her feet ran away and dragged them on her feet.

"Big sister, what do you think of these two chickens?" Lin Xiaoxiao took the chicken and weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction. In fact, she didn't understand it at all, and this action was also pretending, she didn't want people to look down on her ignorance, and to put it bluntly, she was still afraid of being deceived.

Aunt Qu saw Lin Xiaoxiao nodding, so she was relieved, she didn't want to give this benefit to other people in the village.

"Big sister, it's not me who said, my chicken doesn't have to say, it can lay eggs every day, and it often gives birth to double yellow, you will know when you buy it."

"Okay, auntie, you weigh it." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't take this seriously, if she really wants to give birth to double yolk eggs every day, who would be willing to sell them.

"Okay!" Aunt Qu neatly tied the chicken feet with straw, took off the scale hanging on the wall, and began to weigh the chicken feet.

"Big sister, these two chickens have a total of five catties and three taels. Pork is eight cents a pound, chicken is generally two pieces a piece, I am a chicken that is laying eggs, do you see the price......? Aunt Qu was a little hesitant when it came to the price, saying that she was unwilling to be cheap, and she was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would be too expensive when she said it was expensive, and she couldn't do a deal.

"Auntie, I'll give you a piece of five pounds, but the weight is calculated according to five pounds, is it okay?" Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't care about this money, but it doesn't make people feel that they are wronged.

After Aunt Qu lowered her head and calculated clearly, she agreed with a smile: "Okay, what's wrong with this, I have this little chick in my family, but I have raised it for more than a month, it's a bit big, do you still want it?" ”

"Yes, but I don't want too many, just five." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't really raise chickens, she just found an excuse to make her life better, so she deliberately pretended to be reluctant to pay.

Aunt Qu also nodded understandingly, not all of these family members in the army are in good condition, of course, life is definitely better than what they can do in the fields. But this is all in exchange for the life of the man in the family, and she doesn't want to envy it.

The transaction between the two went smoothly, and Lin Xiaoxiao finally bought five chicks at the price of five cents each, plus two hens that were laying eggs, and there was no big unity. Lin Xiaoxiao sighed that money was not forbidden, and secretly laughed at her for changing from a workplace OL to a housewife, or a rural person, fortunately, she didn't have to farm now, so she wouldn't be able to be scared and cry by the locusts in the field.

Before Lin Xiaoxiao brought the chickens back, she had already asked Aunt Qu to cut off the wings of the two hens, not afraid that they would run or fly. She scattered a handful of rice and a few vegetable leaves, and found a few waste bricks to form a small circle. This chicken still needs to be made into a chicken coop, and this army compound is not a home, so it can't be stocked directly, but these things have to wait for Lu Zheng to come back to do it.

Lin Xiaoxiao arranged the chicken, and did not forget the brine boiled in the pot. Seeing that it was almost cooked, she threw the watered meat into the brine pot to cook. When you lift the lid of the pot, you can smell the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which is bigger than the smell of meat in the morning, but the smell of medicine is not as attractive as the smell of meat, but no one secretly guesses whose house it is.

It doesn't matter if the meat is thrown into the pot, and the honeycomb coal used at home is not a wood stove. Lin Xiaoxiao is also an idle person, she wants to tidy up the clothes at home, her pants are all side openings, and she is wearing a particularly twisted dress.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to wear these pants, there was no cloth at home, and she didn't like the clothes made by the tailor now, so she simply found a few pairs of pants from the space.

Lin Xiaoxiao was afraid that the clothes in the space were too advanced, so she only dared to take the most earthy ones, and she didn't dare to take more, and the rest of the clothes still needed to be taken slowly. It's best to draw some artwork of the clothes yourself, and then go to the tailor to buy the cloth and make it custom.

The original owner used to be either black or blue, and the few clothes she bought for marriage were too bright, so she really had to pick those old black clothes. Lin Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, so he thought of doing it and used his free time to draw.

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished painting, she began to make food and make her favorite cow candy.

There is only one coal stove at home, but Lu Zheng converted a firewood stove out of a discarded iron bucket. This is to live on the first floor, just move the stove outside the house and burn it, if you live upstairs, it will definitely not work. Lin Xiaoxiao once again sighed that Lu Zheng's house was well chosen.

Lin Xiaoxiao first fried peanuts over low heat, and it was better to master the heat with firewood than honeycomb coal. She swapped the two stoves, cooked the meat with firewood, and put a few hard firewoods in it, it didn't matter, the firewood at home was prepared by Lu Zheng in advance.

Wait until she has fried the peanut kernels and cooked the meat. Lin Xiaoxiao warmed the meat in the pot by the embers, and it was still early before the meal time, so she removed the red skin of the peanut kernels first.

Peeling is a meticulous job, Lin Xiaoxiao is not in a hurry, she is just passing the time, just peel it out slowly. There were other nuts like almonds in the space, and she drooled secretly when she thought of the beef candy with almonds.

After peeling, she took out butter from the space and began to boil sugar, she didn't use marshmallows, she directly boiled syrup with caster sugar. After the syrup is cooked, add milk powder and peanuts in turn and stir, and finally form only on a cutting board.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the finished product with satisfaction, although the tool is not competent, but the finished product is still good, and the appearance is also there, which has to be replaced with beautiful wrapping paper, and it is not a problem to take it out and sell it for money.

Lin Xiaoxiao put the candy in the jar and sealed it, ready to let Lu Zheng take it to the office. Seeing that it was not early, after changing the honeycomb coal, Lin Xiaoxiao prepared to cook.
