Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 127
After the movie ended, the two walked out of the theater side by side. Han Li didn't like the current situation very much.

The two of them only need to dodge Yun Jingjing at home to make small moves, and here they have to avoid people all over the street.

But this woman's thinking is a bit different, Yun Yingying now has a happy smile on her face.

Han Li sighed secretly, then looked at his watch and said.

"11:30, shall we go to eat now or continue to walk around?"

"Let's eat. Let's meet my sister and the others after dinner. But we've been eating mutton for two days. Today I want to eat something light."

"Keep your voice down, be careful to beat you if someone hears it, but I know there is a good thing here. It should be no problem to eat it in the current temperature. It is different from our four or nine cities. Soybean juice is comparable, how come, are you interested in trying it?"

Yun Yingying nodded quickly when she heard this, and then asked what it was

Han Li: "Of course you will know when the time comes."

The two of them then came to an inconspicuous restaurant, which was also state-run, but the people who came to eat here were more down-to-earth, and there was no such thing as stir-frying. They only sold sour soup and corn cakes here.

"Comrade, please bring us two bowls of sour soup and six corn tortillas."

After Han Li paid the money, he took Yun Yingying to find a place to sit down, and then whispered the story to her.

This sour soup is also called 馇tiao, tangtiao, stinky 馇子, tangzi. As for its origin, it is a bit long.

It is said that during the Kangxi period of the previous dynasty, corn was introduced to the Northeast at that time, and the Manchus began to plant corn on a large scale.

One year, a flood flooded the corn field. Although they were Manchus and had imperial food to eat, they were only the bottom of the Manchus. Break off the corn cobs that have been soaked in big water. These nomads don’t know how to dry them, so they throw them directly into a large tank for display and storage. After a few days, when the tank is opened, a pungent sour smell hits the face. Throw it away It was unexpected that the family would be hungry, so they tried to fish out the soaked corn, then washed it with clean water, cut it simply, and it became a messy dough. At the beginning, it was cooked a little bit to taste the taste, and the result was This taste was immediately conquered by them. This is the source of the earliest sour soup. Later, the Manchus further improved the production process, and it became what it is now step by step.

The sour soup is squeezed out of the tiger's mouth when eating at home, but because there are too many people dining in the restaurant, it is squeezed from the bed of 饸饹.

As for sour soup stew, it is more common. Now it is generally stewed eggplant, tofu, spicy bean stew, and various pickles.

Yun Yingying chose spicy bean stew under Han Li's recommendation. As soon as she took it, she felt a hot and sour feeling, which made her appetite immediately. It is very comfortable to eat.

The two walked out of the restaurant satisfied, and then they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to replenish some daily necessities.

After finishing everything, the two of them went to join everyone.

But when they came to the meeting place, Yang Xiuying was sitting on the side of the road crying.

Several other people were persuading, except for Qi Zhaodi, the complexions of the few of them seemed not very good.

"What's wrong with Yang Xiuying? What's wrong with everyone?"

Hao Hongmin sighed and said, "When we were having dinner just now, there was a blind date sitting next to me, and the matchmaker said something that directly brought out the emotions in her heart during this period of time."

Han Li asked with some doubts: "Yang Xiuying didn't shed tears during the autumn harvest. What is this saying? It has such great power?"

"The matchmaker said that department stores supply and sell Yizhihua, vegetable companies tofu dregs, food company dominatrixes, and educated youths sent to the countryside Tu Kela."

Han Li.

Hao Hongmin: "I know this best. Xiuying often says that when she is at home, she buys everything from the store. She can buy everything she wants, whether it is biscuits in tin jars, fruit candies, toffee, new clothes, floral skirts. You can buy them easily, it’s just a few extra steps. After coming here, I have to work in the fields every day. My face is dark, my hands are thick, and my whole body hurts. I have to run for three hours to buy something similar. Forty miles, the key point is that there are not many kinds of goods here, and Xiuying, she is burdened, misses her family, and fears about the unknown life in the future, which was suddenly ignited by that person's words."

If Yang Xiuying and the others join in, Han Li can take them and call them back, but this situation is still on the side of the road, what can he do.

"Well, haven't I mentioned this before? Why does the country require everyone to go to the countryside for two years before they are eligible to be workers? Quota? This shows that the development and construction of the country still needs us hard-working young people, so everyone should read more books and prepare for it. I believe that gold will always shine. As for being tanned, it is not a big problem. , we are going to face cat winter for at least five months, such a long time will definitely make you white? Maybe you will become whiter than before. "

Han Li's nonsense made Yang Xiuying stop sobbing. She stood up and wiped away her tears, patted the dirt on her buttocks and said.

"I'm sorry everyone, I didn't know what was going on just now, and I couldn't control the energy in my heart,"

"It's fine."

"That is, just say it when you miss home or feel uncomfortable in the future."

"But next time you want to cry, it's better to be in our room, so that you won't be surrounded by everyone."

Everyone said that this matter is over, but now no one is in the mood to change and unanimously decided to go home and rest.

So it was still early when they returned to Shanghe Village, and they were not in a very high mood at this time.

Even the sisters of the Yun family looked pretty much the same, so everyone went back to their respective homes.

After returning home, Han Li teased the wolves for a while, then he carried them into the ground with a basket and a shovel on his back.

During this period of time, he'd better collect more food, otherwise it would be cheaper for those animals to stay in the field mouse hole.

The grains obtained are very useful, and can be exchanged for tofu and Maoke (sunflower seeds).

Sunflowers were not grown in Han Li's yard this year, but they were planted in the front and back of the villagers' houses, but most of the villagers were reluctant to eat them, so Mao Ke kept them until the Chinese New Year was approaching and fried them for guests.

Only those little kids at home, regardless of whether they are raw or not, even raw sunflower seeds will be quietly grabbed by them, and they will show off to their friends while eating, and finally share some with other friends.

There are also several things that local cats must have as snacks during the winter. Han Li only found out about this when he was digging a field mouse hole yesterday.

These three things are also one of the motivations for those little kids to dig voles in the field, which is related to their snacks in the future.

One is corn dumb, which is to pick out a small corn kernel and stir fry it in a pot. Some saccharin will be added in the process.

There is another kind of fried soybeans. Its method is the same as that of corn dumb, but generally no saccharin is added.

After the fried corn and soybeans are ready, those children will put a handful in their pockets, eat while walking, and share them with other friends.

If you encounter someone who pops popcorn with a hand-cranked cannon, the villagers will also process some of the children's trophies.

At this time, whether it is sorghum, soybeans, or corn stubble can be put in for processing, but these things are prone to moisture after processing. The conditions of this era basically do not last long, and they will be eaten by the family soon.

Han Li was walking in the ground, his mental power was searching for the field mouse hole where the food was hidden.

Several wolves knew what they were going to do after Han Li dug up the food once, and they were all looking for the field mouse hole.

During the period, they also killed several voles and sent them to Han Li.

It wasn't long before Han Li had already made a lot of income on the surface. At this time, he saw Zhang Xiangjun lying motionless on the ground in the distance.

Han Li thought he died there, so he threw the snakeskin bag and ran towards him, shouting as he ran.

"Zhang Xiangjun, are you okay?"

At this time, Zhang Xiangjun suddenly sat up like a corpse, looked at Han Li with regret and said.

"It's okay, but my geese were scared away by you, you have to buy me a drink tonight."

"What is it? Your wild goose? Where is it?"

Zhang Xiangjun pointed to the sky, where flocks of wild geese heading south for the winter flew across the fields.

"Stop making trouble, I know that everyone is the successor of communism, but you can't say that the geese flying in the sky belong to you, can you?"

Zhang Xiangjun burst out laughing when he heard Han Li say this, and then he took out a wild goose from the nearby bushes.

Then he explained why he did this. He dug the field mouse hole by himself, and he could only clean up the temporarily piled grain on the ground after getting out all the grain in the cave.

During this process, a few wild geese seemed to be stupid, and started to eat the grain he had dug out after falling down, completely ignoring that a man of his size was right next to him. Zhang Xiangjun brandished a shovel and beat the wild geese at the sight.

Since the geese need to have a run-up stage for take-off, Zhang Xiangjun happened to take the turn of not one.

This gave Zhang Xiangjun a little inspiration. When he was tired of digging the field mouse hole, he would deliberately throw some corn kernels around.

He held the shovel tightly in his hand and lay motionless on the ground, waiting for the geese to come down from the sky again to eat.

"Those wild geese are organized and disciplined. It's good to be lucky once. Now you're like sitting on the sidelines."

Zhang Xiangjun: "I know, anyway, I need to take a rest when I'm tired, in case there are two more silly geese."
