Chapter 369: The Bottom of the Cauldron
Today's rest, Lin Tong wanted to make mutton-stuffed dumplings, just to send a little to the soldiers who helped to express his gratitude.
With a shovel, she watched the two of them bend over and work, and invited them to come to the house for dinner.
Wang Yajun only had her and her daughter at home, so she immediately agreed, "Okay, I haven't eaten mutton-stuffed dumplings yet, so I just want to try them." He asked a little worriedly: "Will it be too fat to eat?" ”
Lin Tong thought about it, there are indeed people who are very sensitive and can't eat that taste, "Let's get a hot pot to eat at night, if you don't like dumplings, just eat hot pot!" If you can't eat the hot pot, it can only mean that you don't have a taste and can't enjoy the aroma of mutton! ”
No one in the local area has a pot hot pot, and many people have never heard of this way of eating.
Wang Yajun's family has a small population, the conditions are okay, and he has never eaten hot pot, but he has eaten the bottom of the pot that the locals like more, but it is also not eaten very often. "Do you have a hot pot at home?" It refers to the old-fashioned pot hot pot that burns charcoal.
Lin Tong shook his head, "I don't have one at home." ”
Wang Yajun was puzzled: "No, you can only boil the bottom of the pot." ”
"Almost!" However, the local people generally use sauerkraut and pork belly at the bottom of the pot, and only a few conditions will put some dried shrimp in it.
Wu Wenhua was also interested after listening to it for a long time, "You still know how to eat, I haven't made this thing, if you want me to say, the mutton is not as delicious as boiling, a large piece in your mouth, chewing is fragrant and enjoyable." ”
Wang Yajun laughed at her: "Sister-in-law, you will stew meat!" ”
Wu Wenhua smiled: "The stew is delicious!" ”
Lin Tong nodded, thinking deeply, "I also like to eat stewed meat, especially pork belly, stewed with tofu puffs and potatoes, which is particularly fragrant; Or put cabbage vermicelli, ah, this is a famous dish in the Northeast......"
Wu Wenhua wiped the corners of his mouth exaggeratedly, "Don't say it, besides, my harath is about to trickle down." ”
Lin Tong laughed, "It's just right, you all come to my house for dinner today, I'll see what my sister-in-law's harness looks like?" ”
After the snow was cleared, the two of them were about to go home, so Lin Tong left them for breakfast and then went back, "I boiled two rice porridge and steamed some steamed dumplings with bacon and mushrooms, you can eat here in the morning!" ”
Wang Yajun gave her a thumbs up and praised her: "Sister-in-law, if I don't obey you for anything else, I will serve you to cook, and if I don't deal with it every day, if I don't fool around, I can't do it, we just deal with it." ”
Lin Tong said with a smile: "It's okay for us adults to deal with it, but children need nutrition, how can we deal with it!" ”
"If you don't say it, your mother is qualified." Wang Yajun praised her and said, "I don't eat here, but I'll be cheeky enough to take two and give my girl a taste." I haven't eaten this bacon before you came, and we really don't have this kind of practice here. ”
That's because the winter here is long and the weather is cold, so the meat can be frozen outside, and there is no need to make bacon at all.
Lin Tong also took local materials, the meat was frozen, the bacon was steamed, which was convenient, and the mushrooms were also sent by Wu Wenhua.
During the day, Lin Tong and Xu Nian read books at home.
One learns, the other writes stories, without interfering with each other.
Since Lin Tong became pregnant, the efficiency of writing stories has plummeted, especially in the first three months, which makes the editors there eager to write letters every day to urge ......
Later, one after another thing at home, she hadn't taken it seriously for a long time to sit here like this and write something.
At noon, just after eating, Lin Tong was washing dishes, Dahai, Dajiang and several other yards of Tao boys ran out, Xu Nian heard movement outside, immediately grabbed his hat and ran out, Lin Tong grabbed him, and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" Tie the button of the padded jacket and go out to catch a cold when you see the wind. ”
Xu Nian smiled, "Mom, this snow is not as big as ours on the snowfield!" ”
Of course, if there would have been a snow disaster there, it wouldn't have happened here!
Buttoned him, hung cotton gloves around his neck, and told him to let him out.
After a while, Lin Tong heard the sound of giggling and laughing outside, and the occasional adult passing by shouted: "Stinky boy, the snow is on me." Or, "Alas, you children, there is snow in those shoes......"
Lin Tong looked at it for a while, saw that Xu Nian had a cheerful smile on his face, smiled and went to the kang to take a nap.
When she woke up, it was very quiet outside, she was a little strange, these children were not outside, could it be that they ran out of the family room to play?
She got dressed, changed into those wolfskin boots, and went out to get ready for a stroll, passing by to catch a glimpse of the child.
Who knows, as soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Xu Nian running back with something in her hand happily, ran to her, raised her head and raised her little hand as if offering a treasure, "Mom, look, sparrow!" ”
Lin Tong sighed, grabbed his hand and asked, "Where did it come from?" ”
"We caught it." Xu Nian said proudly: "I caught a lot of them, and the sea said, I took them over and roasted them over the fire at night and ate them." ”
Lin Tong seems to have heard his mother say in his previous life that there were a few years when many people went to hunt sparrows, and there were a lot of sparrows in those years.
She nodded Xiao Nian's head, "Go and tell the sea, don't catch too much, just taste the freshness, there is meat to eat at home, and everything is delicious when there is no meat to eat." ”
Xu Nian nodded and smiled at her flatteringly, "Don't worry, Mom, I remember what Mom told me, but sparrows eat crops, so it doesn't matter how many you eat!" ”
It's kind of a bad deal for you.
Lin Tong said funny: "It's good to know." ”
Xu Nian ran away again as he spoke, "I'll look at it for a while, Brother Dahai has a lot of ideas!" ”
Lin Tong saw that he was gone, so he walked around the path cleared in front of the door for a few laps and went home, and as soon as he entered the house, he first changed his shoes, changed his clothes, and began to cut mutton.
After the mutton was melted, part of it was ready for her to slice and make a simple hot pot, and part of it was chopped into stuffed dumplings.
She doesn't have that good knife skills for mutton, and the cut is particularly thin, but this meat is very tender, and it doesn't matter if it's a little thicker.
Thinking so, she cut the meat with a knife, and there were five or six catties of meat, and she put it away after about touching the dumplings and vegetables that were almost enough to eat.
Just as she wanted to rest for a while and then chop the stuffing, Wang Yajun came with Xiaoqian in her arms, and Lin Tong hurriedly hugged the child and put it on the kang and took off her shoes.
Wang Yajun took off her gloves and headscarf, "This girl woke up and wanted to come over to play with her brother, I was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I waited for a while before coming over." ”
Xiaoqian asked in a milky voice: "What about my brother?" ”
"My brother is playing outside, and I'll be back in a while, and my aunt will get something delicious for Xiaoqian first."
These days, she is lazy, except for cooking, snacks are bought in the workshop.
She took a few snacks, and Xiao Qian pointed to the cake and said, "That's what my mother made." ”
"Yo," Lin Tong said with a smile: "Xiaoqian is really smart, and she knows that her mother made this." ”
Wang Yajun said with a smile: "I bought it a few times before, and I actually went home to get the leftovers, and told her that I made it, and this girl remembered it." ”
