Chapter 19 is self-inflicted
Ming Fang served a bowl of sparrow soup with excellent nutrition and brought it to Zhang Meiyu's kang head.
"Mother, drink some soup and warm up. Mingfang called softly, Zhang Meiyu turned her head slowly, Mingli followed quietly, and saw that there were still tears in her mother's eyes.
"Oh, mother, don't be sad, don't look at Liu Erqin's trouble now, there will be the day when she pulls Qingdan! Ming Fang coaxed and pulled, pulled Zhang Meiyu up, and handed her the hot soup bowl.
Zhang Meiyu sat up, held the bowl, and sighed: "It's my mother who has no interest, so I ask you to be wronged with your mother......"
Mingfang pretended to smile lightly: "Mother, there is no grievance, where is my brother and I wronged? Who may be the wronged person in the future! I'm sure, it's not me and my brother!"
Mingli took the bowl in his mother's hand, stirred it with a soup spoon and blew it a few times, and handed it over: "Mother, drink it quickly, it's not hot." ”
Seeing that the mother finished eating the sparrow soup in the bowl and helped the mother lie down, the brother and sister were relieved.
Mingli sat down at the table and took a sip of sparrow soup, his eyes widened in surprise: "Xiaofang, this sparrow soup is so delicious!"
Ming Fang stared at him: "Brother, if it's good, you can drink more, with nutrition, you can grow taller, you are so handsome, you will marry a beautiful daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable in the future!"
Mingli's face was gloomy when he heard this: "You girl, you are happy with your brother again?"
Mingfang smiled: "I'm telling the truth!
"With the composition of our family, who wants to marry into the Liu family? I'll just wait to be a bachelor for the rest of my life......
"Yo, brother, shouldn't you have a sweetheart, right?" Mingfang rolled her eyes, although she didn't know anything about it, she didn't know if her brother said it casually, or if she had something in her heart.
Mingli was anxious: "Nonsense, what's the matter!"
"Really?"
"No!" Mingli hurriedly ate his meal, put down the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the house.
It doesn't look like there is. Ming Fangxin said, I hope my brother didn't think about feelings too early. It seems that he has to hurry up and implement the plan that involves the future of the brother and sister.
In the afternoon, Mingli went to work as usual. Zhang Meiyu lay on the kang to recuperate.
Mingfang carried the basket on her back and ran to the forest farm, this time she didn't have the time to lie in the snow to catch sparrows. She took out the wire lasso, looked for the place where the animal footprints were located, and lowered the noose, and placed the bait on the lasso. Now she is familiar with the road, and she has done a dozen or so lassoes without much effort. Pick up the basket and hurry home.
When she got home, Ming Fang didn't stop for a moment, took out the remaining eight sparrows from the sack, removed the feathers and internal organs and paws one by one under the sun in the yard, and washed them. She secretly took some sugar, cinnamon, star anise, cooking wine and other condiments from the space clinic.
First, simmer the sparrows with green onions, garlic and cooking wine.
Stir-fry the peppercorns on fire, crush them with a rolling dough bowl, and put salt to make peppercorns and salt for later use.
There were no cucumbers and no coriander, so she went to the distribution room and went around the room, and found a white radish next to the cabbage, which was washed and cut into thin strips.
Then the fire was boiled, the water in the pot was boiled, and the eight sparrows were put into the pot and boiled, and they were fished out.
Burn the fire, put water in the pot, put cinnamon, star anise, cooking wine and other spices, put the sparrows in the pot, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Ming Fang was busy working in the stove hall, which alarmed Zhang Meiyu, who had just woken up, and she sat up: "Fang, what are you doing with the fire at this hour?"
"Mother, you just wait to eat delicious!" Ming Fang was scooping out the sparrows stewed over low heat one by one.
Zhang Meiyu's face showed a hint of relief: "Originally, the family could only eat fried cabbage with sticky cakes, and I didn't even dare to think about eating meat." You girl, I see that you have more ideas, and you are getting more and more bold. ”
Ming Fang scooped out the remaining soup and water in the iron pot, worked on her hands, and looked up at her mother and smiled: "If you are poor, you will think about change." Let's call it playing the piano under the coptis tree, and making fun in the bitterness. ”
Her daughter's optimism infected Zhang Meiyu, and she struggled to get off the kang to help light the fire, but Mingfang stopped her.
Mingfang put oil in the pot and fried the sparrows, but she was reluctant to put oil. When the oil is hot to six or seven, she puts the sparrows into the oil pot, because the oil is less, only three at a time, and when the sparrows are fried until golden brown, she quickly takes them out and puts three more in them. Eight sparrows, which were fried in three parts.
The smell of fried sparrows fills the room. You don't even need to taste it, and the smell makes people drool.
Crispy sparrows are my mother's tonic and her weapon against the Li family!
Crispy sparrows are fried and served on a plate.
The sun is turning westward. Mingfang walked to the greenhouse, put down the open reeds, four or five days have passed, my little shepherd's cabbage, purslane and small wave cabbage, you hurry up and sprout? Mingfang closed the firewood door and prayed in his heart.
Peeling off two cabbage leaves, wrapping three spiced sparrows, and wrapping a little pepper and salt in small pieces of paper, there were not many things, Mingfang carefully divided the two pockets, and walked out of the house towards the village.
Later, Fang Zhiqing will get off work!
It was still early, and Mingfang was not in a hurry, she covered her pockets, looked at the scenery, and went all the way into the village.
When she entered the village, she deliberately swaggered, as if she was afraid that the people on the street would not be able to see her, singing that fish cannot do without water, melons cannot do without seedlings, and revolution cannot be separated from the Communist Party.
Not far into the village, her singing attracted Li Hongbao, and he ran towards her happily with his schoolbag on his back.
"Mingfang, you're looking for me, right?"
Hey, there's such a self-inflicted one!
Seeing Li Hongbao, who was really cutting the grass and catching rabbits, she couldn't help but smile: "Yes, Li Hongbao, are you out of school?"
Ming Fang's good-looking face fascinated Li Hongbao so much that he couldn't find the north, and he couldn't say anything excitedly: "These days...... Well, if you don't ask me to pester you, I don't dare to look for you, for fear that you will be angry...... I never dreamed that you would come to me, but you really did come to me!"
Ming Fang called Li Hongbao to a remote place in the corner of the room and asked in a low voice: "Li Hongbao, I am looking for you, do you want to exchange white noodles for delicious food?"
The delicious stewed rabbit is still haunting my heart, and the greedy Li Hongbao can't think about it, and nods again and again: "Well, as long as you want!"
"You have to be willing, too! Buying and selling, both parties are willing!"
"Voluntary, I'm voluntary!
"Good. Spiced sparrows, have you ever eaten sparrows?"
Li Hongbao shook his head when he heard this: "Sparrow......?
"In this way, how about I exchange ten crispy sparrows for your small half bag of white noodles? Tomorrow at the end of school, the place will be by the reed pond outside the village. Don't let anyone follow you!"
"Okay! You wait for me! Five...... Fragrant Sparrow ......" Li Hongbao nodded with drooling, and had long forgotten about the last time he was beaten for Bai Mian to the country of Java.
Mingfang said that she went to find Fang Zhiqing, as she expected, she had just arrived at the door of the Liu Mansion, but she happened to meet Li Honghua.
