Liu Yinglan went into the kitchen, took out the hind leg meat frozen at the bottom of the tank, cut a large piece out, and put away the rest of the remaining hind leg meat.

She patiently chopped the pork into minced meat, added salt, monosodium glutamate, eggs, soy sauce, stirred well, cut a small piece of it, put the shredded white radish in, mixed it again, heated the sesame oil, estimated the size with her left hand, kneaded it into a round meatball, threw it into the pot one by one and fried it.

Soon, the crispy smell of croquettes wafted everywhere in the Xie family's small earthen room, and Xie Ming couldn't help but be hungry and went to the kitchen to eat the side food.

He swallowed his saliva, and he didn't care about the heat, so he grabbed a freshly fried ball with his bare hands and threw it into his mouth, Liu Yinglan hurriedly said: "Oops! Blanching. ”

Over there, Xie Ming was really hot, his mouth open, and he kept puffing.

"Anxious monkey, don't you wait!"

Although it was burned, the crispiness of the croquettes bursting in his mouth with his teeth still made Xie Ming feel very satisfied.

After waiting for a while, he took a few more balls in his hand and quickly threw them into his mouth, and Dahuzi sat at the table near the kitchen, already attracted by the fragrance, and stretched his neck to look at the kitchen.

Seeing that Xie Ming had already eaten, she gestured for a few other children to look, and as soon as Liu Yinglan turned her head, she saw a row of small heads, peeking at the kitchen door.

She hurriedly scooped up the fried meatballs and put them on a plate, and instructed Xie Ming: "Why don't you hurry up and take them out to eat together, just eat them yourself." ”

Xie Ming didn't take chopsticks and bowls, he took out a plate directly, and just put it on the table, and within a few seconds, several children grabbed the balls with their hands and ate them.

After frying two plates of meatballs, Liu Yinglan cut a large white radish, put it in the pot, and then poured both plates of meatballs into the pot and boiled.

Then with lard and sugar, I mixed the filling of a large bowl of lard rice balls, and then added water and noodles to prepare the rice balls.

Liu Yinglan looked at the half-grown children outside, it was the time when they could eat, in addition to wrapping dozens of rice balls, she also took out the remaining twenty dumplings from yesterday and steamed them on the meatball radish soup to ensure that the children could eat enough.

When the meatballs came out of the pot, she remembered that her granddaughter had gone up the mountain to dig herbs, so she left a big bowl for her granddaughter.

Xie Shan was obviously also concerned about Xie Mi's food, and deliberately went into the kitchen and said, "The old woman came back late from digging medicine, you remember to leave her something to eat." ”

"Got it, you see that bowl is what I left for you."

Xie Shan stayed and went out with confidence.

A pot of fried meatballs, a pot of white rice, and a pot of fragrant and sweet lard dumplings made the children smile one by one.

After I went back, I told the adults what I ate at Xie Ming's house today, and said that his family ate so well every day.

Zhou Yang didn't believe it: "You are talking nonsense! Whoever has the money to eat meat like this, the Xie family and us are all about the same. ”

"Dad is true, I heard that Xie Mi went up the mountain to collect medicine and made money, so her family had the money to buy so much food."

"How much can I get for the medicine?"

"It is said that I bought dozens of dollars!"

Zhou Xiaopang's parents listened, the two glanced at each other, and immediately discussed, "Since this medicine collection is really profitable, then we will also pick it tomorrow." ”

"No, we don't know much about collecting medicine!" Zhou Yang said.

"Then why don't we go to the Xie family and ask, and let the little girl of the Xie family teach us," Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law said.

"Okay, let's go ask tomorrow."

went home and said this, not only Zhou Xiaopang, but also Xu Meihua's eldest son, who also went back to tell him about it.

"I have another one in my belly, or I'll go and learn with you, or you will follow me," he said, looking at his son.

I used to see Xie Mi, but I just thought that she was a good-looking little girl, but when I saw her and Gao Jiahui, I knew that she was a courageous person, and Xu Meihua had a good impression of her.

At this time, her man suddenly said: "There is nothing to learn about collecting medicine, but I understand all those flavors." ”

"You know why you don't pick it, so you can share some of it with me."

"Why should I go, it's so hard to collect medicine, I can't save much in ten days and half a month, I see, it's mostly Xie Ming's bragging."

Xu Meihua's face immediately changed and said, "Okay! It turns out that you know how to collect medicine, but you are afraid of suffering and don't want to go, so I won't be bitter? Two children, a large piece of land, feeding chickens, ducks, pigs are all done by me, and there are also mountain goods. ”

"Even if I'm going to give birth again, you're still lazy," Xu Meihua took out a broom from behind the hall and chased after Zhou Dayang.

"Bastard, lazy, lazy to death, if you want to be so lazy, you just learn the grass in the field, just bask in the sun every day, don't eat or drink."

Zhou Dayang hid, and said with a hippie smile: "Daughter-in-law, you are talking nonsense, the grass in the human field also needs to drink water, you haven't seen a transparent rain, all the plants on the mountain are like new growth, that is, you are full of water!" ”

"Don't talk to me about that, I'll ask you if you're going tomorrow."

"I really don't want to go, I really don't want to go."

Xu Meihua was really angry, "Okay, okay," she lost the broom, turned back into the house, and threw out his clothes, pants, and all supplies, "I'll give you two choices today, either pick up medicine or get out, what do you like!" ”

Zhou Dayang looked at his son Zhou Zhou and said, "Zhou Zhou, you just look at your mother like this!" You don't leave her alone. ”

"Dad, I'm not talking about you, Mom is about to have another little brother and mother, and when the time comes, she will have to take care of the child again, and she will have to do so much work at home, so what's wrong with you helping her do more work, anyway, it's all for the family, for our family! Why are you so lazy. ”

"Dead boy, even you say that about me."

"Anyway, I'm on my mother's side, if you don't go to collect medicine, don't come back."

Zhou Dayang looked at the big-bellied mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a little mongrel with no conscience, so he blocked the door viciously, so he had to give in and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go tomorrow." ”

Xu Meihua let the man in, but she didn't want Zhou Dayang to hate Xie Qi because of this, just you can take medicine, you love to show off, and you are crazy to be like this at a young age, it's really annoying.

The next day, Xie Mi's family was eating, and many villagers suddenly poured into the house, all of whom looked polite.

"Why did everyone come to my house today," Xie Shan asked.

Zhou Yang said: "Uncle Xie and Aunt Liu, thank you for leaving my little fat family to eat yesterday, the child can eat, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Zhou Yang pointed to the basket in his hand, "There is nothing at home, there are a few newly laid duck eggs, give them to your family to eat!" ”

Liu Yinglan hurriedly refused: "It's really not necessary, it's really not necessary, when it's time to eat, you have to eat at my house, you're really welcome." ”
