As soon as Han Li walked here, he knocked on the door and was opened, and what greeted him was He Mi's face full of joy.

"I'm back."

"I'm back, why are you standing on this side of the street?"

"Just now these dogs suddenly started whining and scratching the door, I guess you came back, I originally wanted to go over, but I don't know what the situation is on your side, if there are other people or other things, so I just wait here."

When Han Li was about to reach out and grab He Mi, Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua, the half-sisters, happened to come over.

"I said that it must be Brother Han who is back."

"Brother Han is back, have you eaten?"

"I'm back, I really haven't eaten yet."

"Brother Han, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

"You can fill your stomach or anything, didn't you say last time that Bingcheng's big lieba and big meat sausages are delicious, this time I will bring you some back, and these meats need to be processed, otherwise they will be spoiled in the heat."

Next, Han Li just sat in the courtyard to cool off and drink tea, while He Mi and the three of them got busy.

He Mi was cooking for Han Li on the stove, and Hou Yuhua was beside him and lit the fire.

Qi Zhaodi was talking to Han Li in the courtyard while handling the fresh meat to prevent it from spoiling.

She first salted the meat evenly, and while she salted the meat, she went to the wood shed to pick out the small branches, and wet them all with water, so that when they were lit, they would only smoke and not burn.

She said that these branches were only used temporarily tonight, and that she would go to the mountains tomorrow to cut some live pine branches and come back, and let the smoke smoke for a few days, and when the meat slowly turned brown, she would not be afraid of spoiling for a year.

Han Li looked at Qi Zhaodi's serious and busy appearance, thought about it and asked.

"Little sister, if one day you can choose your career freely, what line of work do you want to do the most?"

"Of course, it's the pot maker (cook), as the old saying goes, the pot maker can't die of starvation for three years in a drought, in fact, even their families can't starve to death, there used to be a pot maker in our village who worked in the unit, and their family lived better than everyone else.

I remember very well that at that time, when the village cadres asked everyone to collect corn roots, corn stalks, wheat roots, and old vines (sweet potato Teng) and grind them into flour as "substitute food" to eat, their family could eat Baogu (corn) flour porridge.

When I stepped barefoot in the icy river water, and the stench of half-clothed butt worms was stinking, their son was already leisurely eating fried soybeans.

I was the same age as his son, but he was two times thicker than me at that time, and one person was heavier than two or three of me combined, which was the benefit of his old man (father) being a pot maker.

At that time, I was young and didn't know the twists and turns in this, thinking that I would be like this without an old man, and every time I saw him eat good food, I would cry to my grandmother, but my grandmother beat me every time, saying that I was a broom star and killed her son, and made the family lose a place as a worker. ”

[Fart Worm: There are also known as Tsubaki Elephants, Fart Bugs, Fart Bugs, Black Pocket Bugs, and Stinky Big Sisters in all parts of the north and south of China. When frightened, the body will secrete volatile bed bug acid, which makes the surrounding area smelly.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that salty and warm are non-toxic, regulate qi and relieve pain, warm and aphrodisiac, and benefit people for a long time.

The "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" records that it has a significant effect on neurological stomach disease, heartache caused by mental depression, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, impotence, enuresis and other symptoms caused by spleen and kidney yang deficiency.

But at the earliest, only the towns along the Jialing River were eaten by people, among which Langzhong in Sichuan Province was the most prosperous, and the local fart insect was called the nine-spice worm, and there was a literature describing the nine-spice worm, out of Langzhong, smelling and eating fragrant.

There is also a local saying, "The rich eat deer antlers, and the poor eat nine spice worms." ”

But there was no one to eat in Rongcheng at that time, and the news brought by the circulation of people later, as well as hunger, made the people here catch them to satisfy their hunger.

This kind of small thing will make you smell all over your body when you catch it, so the nine-spice worms caught should be put into a basin of water to "fart", and after changing the water three or four times in a row, the farts in the nine-spice worms' bodies will be exhausted, and they will die.

At this time, the nine spice worms are poured into the pot and dried slowly, and the fragrance will come out when they are dried and the oil comes out.

However, at that time, it was used as food to eat, and it would be good to put a little salt, and in later generations they were caught and sold, and various flavors gradually increased. 】

Han Li originally thought that there was still a year to go before the college entrance examination, and it was not a matter for him to force them to study with him, he had to know their thoughts, only in this way could he better draw cakes and make them more active in learning, but he didn't expect that his words would make Qi Zhaodi cry when he was a child, so he hurriedly persuaded beside him.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we don't want to think about those things in the past, our lives will only get better and better in the future, no matter what you want to do, I will support you."

Qi Zhaodi cried silently for a while, and under Han Li's persuasion, she reached out and wiped her tears and said.

"Brother Han is right, the matter has passed, and I am very happy now that I have the care of my godfather, godmother, you, Sister He, Sister Yun, as well as the eldest sister, second sister, and younger sister.

But if I really have a choice, I still want to be a potsmith, so that I can make food for everyone in normal times, and if I encounter the situation in those years again, I can make everyone eat a little better than others."

Han Li sighed in his heart after hearing this, it was not strange for Qi Zhaodi to make such a choice, but he couldn't say anything now, he could only take one step at a time.

In fact, even if she still chooses this path in the end, it is not bad, who said that learning cooking can only be a chef, and when the time is ripe, she can completely guide her to the chain catering industry, and maybe she can cultivate a leading enterprise.

The words that Han Li and Qi Zhaodi said in the courtyard were all heard by the two people who were cooking in the house, and Hou Yuhua was at a loss and didn't know what to do, He Mi rubbed her head and said softly.

"The previous things have passed, but Qi Xiaomei has really not been easy since she was a child, when she first came, a thin gust of wind could blow her down, and she didn't even have a winter clothes, which is far from your situation.

But she's a knife-mouthed tofu heart, although she never says it, but she usually treats you well, and no matter what, you're all a mother, you care more about her in the future, if she is disappointed in you again, then it is estimated that it will have nothing to do with your family in the future. ”

Hou Yuhua nodded heavily after listening to He Mi, but now she was thinking in her heart that if there was really that day, what would she do? She thought about a lot of careers and finally was denied by herself, blaming her damn height, which made her unable to do a lot of things.

Especially Hou Yuhua experienced the robbery, so that she now walks on the street without a sense of security, if she is beaten and robbed, she can bear it, but if she is put in a sack and sold in a ravine, it will be over, and her two little short legs will not want to run out for the rest of her life.

He Mi stewed some oil beans with the meat that Han Li had just brought over, and pasted a circle of cakes on top of the dish, this simple and quick, one-pot dual-purpose method was the first skill that people who came here learned.

Next, He Mi also made a tomato and cucumber mixed with sugar, and finally cut a large meat sausage and put it on the grate to distill it.

While Han Li was eating, He Mi and the others talked about some things in the village in the past two days, including the collective worship on the 18th.

Among them, the most talked about is the new educated youth in Zhonghe Village, when they went to the consignment point to buy something, one of them secretly grabbed a handful of sugar balls in the store, and was coincidentally seen by Zhang Qianying.

But the other party didn't admit anything about this kind of unclean hands and feet, and said that the sugar balls in his pocket were bought by him from the county seat.

So the two sides tore and finally scuffled together, and when Zhang Qianying was the only one in the Times Sales Point, four people on the other side beat him up and ran away.

Later, Wang Chunhua carried a kitchen knife with many people from the Zhang family, as well as a group of people from the village summoned by Captain Liang, and hit Zhonghe Village.

So many people were discovered by the people of Zhonghe Village before they entered the village, and their captain hurriedly came over to ask what was going on.

While the two captains were still negotiating, Wang Chunhua and the others rushed directly into the Educated Youth Institute in Zhonghe Village.

In any case, the people in their own village were beaten by foreign intellectuals from other villages, and the words of these people in Shanghe Village after entering the door were not very good, and they pushed and shoved some people who blocked the way and refused to let them in.

The educated youth of Zhonghe Village are all young people with blood and steel, and when they are rashly knocked on the door, especially these people are not from Zhonghe Village, their first reaction is to fight back.

The two groups didn't know who made the first move, and they quickly scuffled together anyway.

Although there are many people here in Shanghe Village, the situation at that time is not a moment and a half to distinguish the winner and loser.

Wang Chunhua showed her female might, carrying a kitchen knife and slashing three or four people in a row, and the screams and blood-stained kitchen knives directly frightened all the educated youths in Zhonghe Village into the house and did not dare to come out.

After that, these people in Shanghe Village smashed doors and windows, shouting loudly for them to hand over the bastards who stole and beat people.

The four educated youths who used to steal things and beat people didn't dare to go out at all now, and it wasn't until the captains of both sides came that they dared to open the door and come out.

At this time, the person who stole the things still didn't admit it, and insisted that he bought it in the county town, and the other party did it first, and let the captain of Zhonghe Village call the shots for them, saying that they couldn't be beaten inexplicably, and several people were cut by knives.
