Hard times have room

Chapter 99

The evening soup was stewed with sauerkraut and moldy beans with old ginger, and served with steamed potatoes.

Bao Lin took a small fish and put it in the bowl: "Dad, it's not until the big festival in two days, do you have any plans?"

"Ah no, do you have any plans? It's all a family, you don't have to hide it, just say it." Hearing this, Wang Jiandang stopped his chopsticks and looked at Bao Lin with great interest. .

"Yeah, if you have any ideas, come out and listen." Su Hongying became interested when she heard this, and put down the half-eaten potato in her hand.

"That's what I thought. Our family of three should just split up and go to two markets. Maybe we can buy food."

After speaking, Paulin turned to Su Hongying: "Mom, stay at home and go to Chenjiazhuang early in the morning on the fifteenth day. If someone sells grain, the price is right or not, you can decide whether to buy it or not."

Afterwards, Paulin turned her head and looked at Wang Jiandang: "Dad, let's leave at noon on the [-]th day, I'll take you to a market, where I can't say the food, but how much fish do you want to buy? The price is also cheap, and there are both dried and fresh.”

"If we can't buy food there, it's fine to buy a few dozen catties of fish. The fish is cheap. We can sell it to others when we buy it, or keep it for ourselves and eat it. It's not a loss anyway."

"Daughter, is the place you're talking about reliable? How about I go with you?" Su Hongying couldn't help it when she heard Bao Lin's words. How could she not know about such a place!

Suddenly, Su Hongying seemed to think of something: "The place you mentioned is not the place you went with that Li Cao last time, right?"

"How about I'm so smart! I'd better follow my mother's mind and turn around fast. It's been so long and I haven't forgotten it yet." Dayton praise.

"Go, don't make fun of me here." Su Hongying seriously thought about the feasibility of the matter, and I have to say that this method is really good.

"Then, girl, can you see your mother? I'll go to the market with you and let your dad stay in Chenjiazhuang. Your dad's brain is not flexible. He can't talk or use his mind when he goes out. , if something happens, he will just swerve around, it's better to take me with him!"

Pauline thought to herself that what she wanted was his father's inflexibility. If she took you away, would she still dance?It's definitely being controlled.

"Oh, Mom, we're here to do business. Think about it, if two women go to that strange market, they'll be bullied. I'd better take my dad to be more reliable. Yes, it's not easy to mess with at first glance."

"Besides, we have to go a long way. I don't have the strength to bring anything with me. It's up to my dad to bring food and fish back."

Pauline patted her dad's broad shoulder, as if it was all up to you, with great trust.

This made Wang Jiandang happy. He held his head high and gave birth to an infinite sense of pride. He patted himself on his chest with great pride: "Daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is right, this kind of thing still has to be done by a man."

Su Hongying rolled her eyes angrily, stretched out her chopsticks forcefully, and cut a small fish in the vegetable bowl into two sections: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, whoever said it is rare."

"Oh, Mom, don't be angry. I'll definitely bring you something when I come back. Besides, when this is over, if you want to go, I will definitely accompany you, even if you go to the fishing village to see the sea." The largest fish in the bowl was caught in Su Hongying's bowl.

"Okay, okay, your mother, am I the kind of person who gets angry so easily?" Su Hongying bit the fish, and the corner of her mouth couldn't hold back a smile.

"Don't coax your mother, your mother, I've never seen the sea when I'm so old!"

"That's for sure. I won't coax anyone to coax you. When the time comes, our family of three will go together." Pauline said with a smile.

"Then it's settled, eat, eat quickly, if you don't eat this food, it will be cold." With the assurance, Su Hongying gave Bao Lin and Wang Jiandang a fish in a good mood.

The next day, after class, Pauline asked the teacher for a five-day leave. After class at noon, she went to the vegetable market for a walk.

Now the market is much more depressed and empty than before. When Paulin left for get out of class, those who were in short supply and affordable prices were robbed by the people queuing up in the morning. There were only a few handfuls of green vegetables left in the stall, and the salesman put his hands on his hands. The stall dozed off there.

Paulin, who returned empty-handed, took a cloth bag and packed a bundle of wild vegetables into a decent schoolbag, and returned home in the afternoon with a bulging schoolbag.

Pauline ran back home today, much faster than before, and collapsed in just over 40 minutes.

As soon as she got home, Pauline struck a match and set it on fire. She poured three or four scoops of water into the big iron pot. When the water boiled, she put a marinade bag, a large piece of smashed ginger, and six pigs into it. Hoof, cover and simmer over high heat.

She is going to Tongmao Village tomorrow. She intends to bring three braised pig trotters to Li Ting. It just so happens that there are only three people in the Qin family.

After the stew started, Paulin smelled the thickening aroma of marinade in the kitchen, and quickly closed the window and door, and blocked the place that could be blocked with a rag. Not so domineering.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone in the village went to work to dig wild vegetables, and her home was a little far away, so she dared to cook it directly at home. heavy stuff.

After more than half an hour, Pauline poked with chopsticks, but she was still very resilient and could not penetrate at all.

The current pigs have no feed to eat, poor food, and slow growth. It takes a long time for a pig to grow to more than 100 catties after buying it, at least eight or nine months. The meat is very strong, especially Active hooves.

After simmering for ten more minutes, Pauline took out her rice cooker from the space and poured the three pig trotters and the rest of the stewed soup into it.

She has a total of more than 20 packets of marinated ingredients, and she feels that it is a waste if she does not stew it three or four times.

Put the remaining three pig trotters in the pot into a large bowl, wrap it in oiled paper after cooling, and receive the space.

The next step was to rub the pot with grass and wood ashes several times, open the doors and windows for ventilation, take out six spare ribs from the space, and reheat the fire to stew the spare ribs.

When the sun dissipated and the weather gradually turned dark, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang, one carrying a wooden barrel and the other holding a sickle, went home one after the other.

As soon as they got home, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang went straight to the kitchen, found the cold water in Lei Gong's well that had just been pumped back from a small bucket, and drank it with big gulps.
