Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 642 Wang Chunhua’s first actual battle

When Han Li walked here and knocked on the door, it was opened, and what came into view was He Mi's face full of joy.

"came back."

"I'm back, why are you standing here at the street gate?"

"Just now, these dogs suddenly started whining and scratching at the door. I guess it was you who came back. I originally wanted to go there, but I don't know what the situation is over there, whether there are other people or other things, so I Just waiting here.”

Just when Han Li was about to reach out and hug He Mi, half-sisters Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua happened to come over.

"I just said that Brother Han must be back."

"Brother Han is back. Have you eaten?"

"I'm back, I haven't eaten yet."

"Brother Han, I will cook whatever you want to eat."

"Anything can fill your stomach. Last time, didn't you say that Bingcheng's big ribs and big sausages were delicious? I brought some back to you this time. There is still some meat that needs to be processed, otherwise it will be hot in the weather. It’s time to break.”

Next, Han Li just sat in the courtyard enjoying the cool air and drinking tea, while He Mi and the three of them started working on their own.

He Mi was cooking for Han Li on the stove, while Hou Yuhua was helping out and lighting the fire.

Qi Zhaodi was talking to Han Li in the yard while handling the fresh meat to prevent it from spoiling.

She first spread the salt evenly on the meat. While marinating the meat, she went to the firewood shed to pick out some small branches and wet them all with water. When they were ignited, they could only smoke but not burn.

She said that these branches are only for temporary use tonight. She will go to the mountain tomorrow to cut some living pine branches and let the smoke smoke for several days. When the meat slowly turns brown, it will not be damaged within this year. .

Han Li looked at Qi Zhaodi's serious and busy look, thought for a while and then asked.

"Little sister, if you can choose your career freely one day, which line of work would you most like to do?"

"Of course it's the potter (cook). As the old saying goes, a potter can't starve to death in three years of drought. In fact, even his family can't starve to death. In the past, there was a potter in our village who worked in the workplace, and his family lived in poverty. Better than everyone else.

I remember very clearly that at that time, the village cadres asked everyone to collect corn roots, corn stalks, wheat roots, and sweet potato vines and grind them into powder as a "food substitute." Their whole family could eat Baogu (corn). ) Noodle porridge.

While I was stepping on the cold river water with my bare feet, covered in a stench from having caught half-clad fart bugs, their son was already eating fried soybeans leisurely.

I'm about the same age as his son, but he was a whole lot thicker than me at that time, and he was heavier than two or three of me combined. This was all the benefit of his old man (father) being a tinker.

At that time, I was still young and didn’t know the twists and turns in this. I thought I was like this because I lost my old man. Every time I saw him eating good food, I would cry to my grandma, but grandma would beat me every time and say that I He was a broom star who killed her son and cost the family a job as a worker. "

[Fart bug: There are also called stink bugs, fart bugs, spanking bugs, black pocket bugs and smelly sisters in various places in the north and south of my country. When frightened, the body will secrete volatile bug acid, making the surrounding area stink.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that salty and warm medicine is non-toxic, regulates qi and relieves pain, warms the body and strengthens yang, and is beneficial to people if taken for a long time.

The "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" records that it has significant curative effects on neurological gastropathy, heart and mouth pain caused by mental depression, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees caused by spleen and kidney yang deficiency, impotence, and enuresis.

But at first, people only ate it in the towns along the Jialing River. Among them, Langzhong in Sichuan Province was the most prosperous. The local people called the fart bugs the nine-flavored bugs. There are documents describing the nine-flavored bugs coming out of Langzhong, smelling bad and tasting delicious.

There is also a local saying that "rich people eat deer antlers, and poor people eat nine-spice bugs."

But there was no one here in Chengdu to eat at that time. Later, the news brought by the circulation of people and the hunger caused the people here to catch them to satisfy their hunger.

This little thing will make you smell bad when you catch it, so the caught nine-scented bugs should be put into a basin filled with water to "fart". After changing the water three or four times in a row, the nine-scented bugs will have all the farts in their bodies. , they will die.

At this time, pour the nine-spice bugs into the pot and slowly dry them. When they are roasted and the oil comes out, the fragrance will come out. At this time, you can add salt, pepper and other seasonings according to your own taste. Crispy, shiny, and fragrant food is ready.

But at that time, they were used as food, and it would be nice to add some salt. In later generations, they were caught and sold, and various flavors gradually became more available. In many places, children used them as melon seed snacks, and adults bought them. Eat wine and food at the moment. 】

Han Li originally thought that there was still one year left before the college entrance examination. It would not be a problem for him to always force them to study with him. He had to know their thoughts. Only in this way could he draw a better picture and make them more proactive. Study, but she didn’t expect that her words would make Qi Zhaodi cry thinking of her childhood, so she quickly advised her from the side. "Don't cry, don't cry. We won't think about it once those things have passed. Our lives will only get better and better in the future. I will support you no matter what you want to do."

Qi Zhaodi cried silently for a while. After Han Li's persuasion, she stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears and said.

"Brother Han is right. The matter has passed. I am now very happy to have the care of my godfather, godmother, you, Sister He, Sister Yun, as well as the eldest sister, the second sister, and the younger sister.

But if I really have a choice, I still want to be a cook, so that I can make delicious food for everyone in normal times. If I encounter the situation like those years again, I can make everyone eat better than others. "

After hearing this, Han Li sighed inwardly. It was not surprising that Qi Zhaodi made such a choice, but he couldn't say anything clearly now and could only take one step at a time.

In fact, it would be good even if she still chooses this path in the end. Who said that learning cooking means she can only be a chef? When the time comes, I can guide her to the chain restaurant industry, and maybe even cultivate a leading company.

What Han Li and Qi Zhaodi said in the yard were all heard by the two people cooking in the house. When Hou Yuhua was at a loss and didn't know what to do, He Mi rubbed her head and whispered said.

"What happened in the past has passed, but it was really not easy for Qi Xiaomei growing up. When she first came here, she was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her over. She didn't even have any clothes for winter, which is far from your situation.

But she is a talkative person. Although she never talks about it, she is usually pretty good to you, and you are both a mother anyway. You should pay more attention to her in the future, if she is disappointed again with you. , then I guess it will have nothing to do with your family from now on. "

Hou Yuhua nodded heavily after hearing what He Mi said, but now she was thinking about what she would do if that day came. She thought about many careers but was rejected by herself in the end. It was all because of her damn height that she couldn't do many things.

In particular, Hou Yuhua experienced being robbed, which made her feel unsafe even walking on the street. She could bear it if she was beaten or robbed, but if she was put into a sack and sold into a ravine, it would be over. You can never escape with your short legs.

He Mi stewed some green beans with the meat that Han Li had just brought over, and put a circle of pancakes on top of the vegetables. This simple, quick, one-pot, dual-use method is the first skill that people who come here learn.

Next, He Mi also made tomatoes and cucumbers mixed with sugar. Finally, he cut a plate of large sausages and put them on the grate for a while.

While Han Li was eating, He Mi and the others talked about some things happening in the village in the past two days, including the collective worship on the 18th.

The most telling thing among them is the new educated youth from Zhonghe Village. When they went to the consignment point to buy something, one of them secretly grabbed a handful of candy balls in the store, and by chance, he was Zhang Ganying saw it.

But the other party refused to admit anything about this dirty business, and even said that he bought the candy balls in his pocket from the county town.

So the two sides fought and finally struggled. Zhang Ganying was the only one in the booth at that time, but four people from the other side beat him up and ran away.

Later, Wang Chunhua carried a kitchen knife and led many people from the Zhang family, as well as a group of people from the village called by Captain Liang, to Zhonghe Village.

So many people were discovered by the people of Zhonghe Village before they even entered the village. Their captain quickly came over to ask what was going on.

While the two captains were still negotiating, Wang Chunhua and the others rushed directly into the Educated Youth Institute in Zhonghe Village.

In any case, the people in my village were beaten by educated youths from other villages. The people in Shanghe Village didn't speak well after entering, and they started pushing and shoving some people who were blocking the way.

The educated youth in Zhonghe Village are all young people with high spirits. When someone suddenly knocks on their door, especially when these people are not from Zhonghe Village, their first reaction is to fight back.

The two groups of people didn't know who made the first move, but they soon started fighting each other.

Although there were many people going to Shanghe Village, the situation at that time was not one that could be determined immediately.

Wang Chunhua showed off her might and stabbed three or four people in succession with a kitchen knife. The screams and the blood-stained kitchen knife frightened all the educated youths in Zhonghe Village into hiding in their houses and did not dare to come out.

After that, people from Shanghe Village smashed doors and windows, shouting loudly to hand over those bastards who stole things and beat people.

The four educated youths who originally stole things and beat people now dare not go out at all. It was not until the captains from both sides arrived that they dared to open the door and come out.

At this time, the person who stole the thing still refused to admit it and insisted that he bought it in the county. It was the other party who beat Zhang Ganying first. He also asked the captain of Zhonghe Village to make the decision for them, saying that they can't be inexplicably beaten. They were beaten up, and several people were stabbed with knives.
