Chapter 74: Smooth
Chen Xiuyun wrapped a pound of mung bean cake in newspaper and asked Jiang Xinyu to send it to Chen Yi's family.
A lot of pig pancreas were brought back by him, and he didn't ask for money, Chen Yi gave a lot of help to the family, Chen Xiuyun regarded Chen Yi as his future son-in-law, and he was not stingy at all when he gave things, and took two pieces of pig pancreatic soap for Jiang Xinyu to take and send.
When Jiang Xinyu went to Chen Yi's house, he hadn't come back yet, and only the widow Wang took advantage of the candlelight to sew and mend clothes.
"Auntie, my family made it myself, my mother asked me to bring you some, it's still hot, wait until it's cool before eating."
Widow Wang didn't accept it, and Jiang Xinyu pulled back and forth with her for a while before she successfully put the mung bean cake on the table.
"Have you eaten?" As she spoke, the widow took out a packet of dates from the house and grabbed a handful for her.
"Where did this soap come from?"
Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes, "My uncle sent it from Shanghai, and there are a lot of it, but my aunt only works, and I will go to my house to get it when I don't have it." ”
She can't say she made it herself, right?
How could Widow Wang go to Chen Xiuyun's house to get it when she ran out, but when she heard Jiang Xinyu say this, she was really happy in her heart. Her family Chen Yi didn't help Chen Xiuyun's family a lot, and her family could afford two pieces of soap.
"Your mom didn't go to work today, she went to town, right?" The widow asked as she sewed her clothes.
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said, "My mother should be cooking, I'll go home first." ”
"Go, go, go." The widow got up and sent her to the door.
Jiang Xinyu left, and Widow Wang opened the newspaper, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, looked at it, and muttered, "This is quite good." ”
In the evening, Comrade Chen Xiuyun made that piece of meat.
A whole piece of meat was stewed, and it was extravagantly braised with sugar, and finally the radish mixed with a little bran was stewed together until it was crispy.
Jiang Xinyu doesn't like to eat too fat braised pork, and the piece of meat that Comrade Chen Xiuyun bought back today is just right, only the pork skin has a little fat there, and the stewed bran radish has become delicious.
Although I still ate tortillas, the satisfaction of this meal was truly unparalleled.
Jiang Xinyu was quite generous when she found out that Chen Xiuyun was rich, if this piece of meat was in someone else's house, a large family would save some food and eat it for three days, and everyone would taste the taste of meat.
There was still a lot of oil paper left from the oil paper I bought before, and all the mung bean cakes were cooled and divided into five portions and wrapped, and there were a few small pieces left, and the mother and daughter ate them in three.
This rustling, milky sweet taste is really delicious.
Chen Xiuyun said: "Soybeans should also be able to be made. ”
Jiang Xinyu nodded and gave her a thumbs up, "My mother is worthy of being a primary school teacher, and she will draw inferences from each other." ”
Jiang Yuzhu sneered happily, and Chen Xiuyun glared at Jiang Xinyu fiercely.
Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "Soybeans and mung beans will taste better when they are peeled, and the taste of soybeans without peeling will definitely be bad." ”
"Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow, you have to carry mung bean cake again, and you have to take soap, I'll help you share it, and you'll be a lot easier on the road."
Chen Xiuyun is going to bring another thirty pieces of soap tomorrow and sell these five mung bean cakes, the weight is indeed not light, but she can carry it. But selling two things, it is inevitable to be in a hurry, Chen Xiuyun thought that the forest belt behind the meat factory was very easy to escape, and after thinking for a while, he finally agreed.
Jiang Xinyu is so happy, she doesn't have to go to work tomorrow!
The mother and daughter went into the house to sleep separately after cleaning up.
Jiang Xinyu was lying in the house hazy and was about to fall asleep when she heard the bell of the bicycle.
Xiao Hei in the kennel stopped barking when he barked, and Jiang Xinyu knew with her toes who was outside the hospital.
She sat up in a daze, put on her military coat and pushed open the door and went out.
Her room was in the courtyard, so she could hear it more clearly, and I don't know if Comrade Chen Xiuyun and Comrade Jiang Yuzhu heard it.
Chen Yi rode a bicycle on one leg at the gate of the courtyard, saw her come out, and handed her the gray-haired rabbit in his hand.
The gray-haired rabbit is already dead and can't die anymore, and there is a bloody hole in his leg, which should have been hit by a shotgun. (These days, many hunters have shotguns in their homes.) )
"You can take it back and eat it yourself."
Chen Yi pointed to the front handle, and there were still two rabbits hanging on the handle.
Chen Xiuyun, who heard the movement, came out in her clothes, "You came back so late?" ”
Chen Yi said "um", "I went to another brigade to show a movie today, and I came back late." ”
"Why can't you stop there?" Under normal circumstances, when going to the brigade that is too far away from the commune to show movies, the projectionist will stay there at night.
Chen Yi said: "Tomorrow I will have a day off, just thinking about sleeping at home at night, I can sleep lazily, and save myself running back and forth." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Rabbit, you can come to the house for dinner another day." At night, because it is not suitable for a rabbit to pull here for a long time, Chen Yi's heart, Chen Xiuyun saw it in his eyes, and thought that he would be better to him in the future.
After saying a few more words, Chen Yi rode his bicycle home.
When they got home, the widow came out of the house, dressed in her clothes, and lit a candle, and when she saw him carrying two rabbits in her hands, she said, "Where did they come from?" ”
Chen Yi said casually: "Orion sent it." ”
After really living in this era for a while, he knew how good the "treatment" of a film projectionist was, not to mention the fixed income of the monthly salary, no matter which village he went to show the movie, he was surrounded by people, and every movie showed an income of a few cents, and the team would invite guests to dinner. The rabbit in his hand was given to him by the Orion, and of course, he secretly left the money in the end.
"Today Xinyu sent mung bean cake and soap, and tomorrow you will send one to her house. Moving to a new yard can also be regarded as a gift. ”
Chen Yi didn't know what to say, sometimes he sent things to Jiang Xinyu's family secretly, just because he was afraid that Widow Wang would care and calculate, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative to mention it.
Chen Yi thought about it for a while, and simply skipped the matter of having already given one away. Anyway, she couldn't go to see how many rabbits Jiang Xinyu's family has.
On the second day, when it was still dark, Jiang Xinyu was called by Chen Xiuyun knocking on the door.
After more than two months, when she entered the county again, Jiang Xinyu was in good spirits. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she surrounded herself with the scarf that Chen Yi bought for her, ate the corn tortillas that were already cold in the pot, carried the basket and set out on the road to the county seat with Comrade Chen Xiuyun.
More than three hours later, the sky was completely bright, and the mother and daughter arrived in the forest belt behind the meat factory.
"Big sister, I want two more pieces of soap." When the pork seller saw Chen Xiuyun, he couldn't wait to buy soap.
The thing opened before it was put down.
"Washed clean, huh?" Chen Xiuyun held him soap.
The pork seller said, "It's really clean, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy two more pieces and put them back." "Sanmaoqi in the supply and marketing cooperative, although the soap sold by Chen Xiuyun is small, it gives people a very cheap feeling psychologically, and her mother-in-law has to buy two more pieces to keep it.
"What's in this box, it smells so good?"
Jiang Xinyu opened the oiled paper bag, revealing a round and beautiful-looking mung bean cake with patterns, "Mung bean cake, sweet and delicious, a pack of seven cents and five, no tickets." ”
The pork seller asked for a packet very generously, he had eaten red date cakes, and knew that Chen Xiuyun's craftsmanship must be delicious. A pack of mung bean cake, plus two pieces of soap, is a total of one piece and one dime.
Chen Xiuyun took the money and said: "Leave me two kilograms of meat, a little more fat, I want to refine oil, and I will give you money later." ”
The pork seller responded cheerfully.
