Fields of Gold

Chapter 24 Conclusion

The rest of the family has traditionally lacked oil and water, and only in the new year and in the aftermath of the hopes of the whole family can they eat a little bitter. Fat stewed cabbage is one of my favorite dishes for the rest of my childhood.

The aftermath of eating stir-fried vegetables in town has long changed its flavour. But he couldn't say if he refused to face his mother.

Zhao Shi glanced at him and entered the western room without looking. As the only daughter of Xiu Cai, Zhao Meilan can't see the rest of the family. Grandma is stingy and cheap. Sister-in-law is rude and lazy. Sister-in-law is weak and incompetent. No child in the family can go to the stage...

If possible, she doesn't want to stay in the rest of the house for a moment. But after all, this is her husband's home, and the face of a man still needs to be taken into account.

When Zhang returned from cutting half a kilo of fat from the butcher's house in the next village, Liu's laundry came back. She couldn't take a break. Zhang Shi said to Li Shi, who was still walking around the yard with a broom. “You come to dry your clothes, your second wife will cook! ”

Liu's cooking skills, everyone in the family admitted.

Zhang Shi washed the meat herself, cut it on the anvil board, counted several pieces, said to Liu Shi: “Saner loves to eat your dishes, do well, don't lazy. You guys, help me fight!! ”

Without Zhang Shi, the Yu Xiaograss sisters could not leave their mothers to work alone. When she went out, Grass laughed: "Look at me! Auntie and uncle don't necessarily like fat stewed cabbage. Mother, why don't you let me try two dishes. I have several cooking recipes in my head, I haven't had a chance to try them! ”

“Cooking is fine, but don't touch the meat. Your grandmother counts!” But the Zhang family is one of the best ingredients, afraid to eat it secretly.

The northern countryside is mostly fashionable stewed vegetables, not all ingredients are suitable for a mess stew. Yu Xiaograss wanted to fry vegetables for a long time, but there was no oil. The Zhang family can't even afford vegetable oil.

Little grass looked at the fat flower pieces of meat and clamped her mother to pull some of the oil out. Meat is used to stew vegetables, and with the rest of the pork oil, she has room to play.

Liu Twilight thought about it. Although fat depends on oil, it shrinks a little, so long as you hold onto it, it won't be too ugly for stewing. Today the third brother and sister came back, only a plate of pickled vegetables, if there is no oil and water, it is not enough to see. Then he leaned out of the small half bowl of oil.

The rest of the family usually cook in two stove holes: one stove porridge and one stove stew patch cake. Today the Zhang family is happy that the mercifully “gracious” cake can be mixed with half white.

She would rather strain her belt than let her youngest son. I don't want the little daughter-in-law from the town to look down on her. She's pointing to her youngest son to earn her life and enjoy her old son's blessings!

Yu Xiaograss saw her mother, as always, and stewed pork tablets and cabbage together in a pot. Afraid of being blind to a pot of cabbage, she hastily stopped: “Mom, let me cook this dish. I promise you it's better than Mama's! ”

Liu Zhi was afraid that she could not be scolded by the old lady and did not agree at first. Later, Grass and Lotus could not help but take turns to intercede before letting go. But she has to watch.

Little Grass had told his brother to go to Zhao's house to borrow some chili. Pork stewed cabbage didn't taste spicy, and the taste must be much worse.

She abandoned the stew method, using the oil pan to burst ginger, onions, chili and pepper, then put the meat down and fry, then put salt and soy sauce, then put the cake in the cabbage paste, think about it and exchange some spirit stone water. Little Grass found that the spirit stone water has a refreshing effect! It is still cabbage stew, which can be cooked differently and naturally tastes heavenly and underground.

“Smells good! You had meat today?” Playing outside for half a day, Blackie grew a dog's nose and smelled the scent into the kitchen.

Without waiting for him to “mastermind” the dish, Zhang Shi, who followed him, pulled his ear out: “Eat, eat! I knew it!! What else can you do besides eat? Go, stay in the East Room! Eat and chop your paws off! ”

After that, I stared at Li Shi in front of the kitchen with warning eyes. This lazy, slippery Li Guihua quickly swept his head down and swept back and forth.

Zhang Shi glanced at the cabbage stew and sniffed it a few times, leaving a message without salt: “Well, the craftsmanship is long! This will be the case in the future!! ”

Little Grass said, "Milk, if you come back with some soybean oil, you can do it every day. If you don't have any oil, do it for nothing! ”

Zhang Shi worried about buying oil money, but took care of his face and turned away and left a curse: “Fight oil? Why don't I tear this old bone, tear it, and refine it for you! ”

Little grass whispered and whispered: "You want to refine, we don't want to eat? Your skinny breeding can produce a few taels of oil..."

“Grass! How can you say that about an old man in the family? Can you still have a good reputation? You can't do this later.” The Liu family brushes the pot and teaches the daughter.

Yu Xiaograss stopped talking and his heart was angry: Can't you be filial to the elderly or foolish?

Little grass mourns for cooking, squeamish! Soon, with garlic eggplant, dried pot bean horns, green vegetable mushrooms, and cabbage stew, four large dishes are complete.

In the other pot, the delicious fish soup has a tempting aroma. Even the Zhao family of western relaxation is secretly surprised by the “pig food” of the Yu family. When did it taste so good?

“Let's eat!” Always helping to burn the little rock, shouting excitedly. Second sister is amazing, he can't control his saliva.

Breakfast remains a table for men and a table for women. Dinner on a woman's table today is no different than a man's table. Scented four pots of vegetables served quickly. Yes, the rest of the family is plentiful and the dishes are always served in pots.

“There's meat, there's meat!!” Yu Blackie sucked his pus nose and rubbed it against his black cuffs from time to time. Li Shi also wiped his dark hands on the collar of a colour that he could not see, instead of washing his hands.

Zhao took a glance and almost vomited nauseously. There's no stomach for these buried sisters.

Keeping an eye on her daughter-in-law, Zhang Shi looked at her and frowned. She took a bowl and dialed out some of each dish. "It's too crowded on the table. Go back to the East Room and eat! ”

Li Shi stared directly at the fat meat of the white flowers, very blind: “Two more people, a little crowded. Little bastard under 10 years old, what table! Why don't you make room for it? ”

After that, I couldn't help but lift the chopsticks towards the biggest piece of fat clip. The Zhang family stopped her halfway through the house. She stared at the daughter-in-law and intensified her tone: “Let you go home to eat, what nonsense!! If you don't go to the children's table, who are you squeezing? ”
