Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 40: Mature and Divorce (Additional Update [-])
The spicy fried noodles in ramen restaurants outside are dry and not delicious for many reasons.

The main one is that the peppers were not chosen well.

For this kind of cooked oily chili pepper, you need to choose very hot peppers. After they are naturally cooked red, they are crushed with a roller. Use a basket to cover all the thick particles, leaving very fine chili powder that is almost the same as flour, and then add it. Use boiling hot sesame oil to scald.

Rapeseed oil...that is, the oil obtained by grinding rapeseed is much different.

Flax oil is a bit like peanut oil, with a natural fragrance, while rapeseed oil obviously has a slight bitter taste. If it is not blended, the fried vegetables will not taste good.

In this era in Longdong, many people grow both flax and rapeseed, but the rapeseed is sold. You don’t have to squeeze the oil yourself, and all you eat is flax oil~
However, the yield of flax is very low. One acre of land may only yield one to two hundred kilograms, so it has been gradually eliminated.

After many years, it was basically extinct and people began to eat rapeseed oil.

Every time he recalled this, Li Muyang felt deeply regretful.

As we get older, people especially like to think about the past. They always think that things in the past are good things, but in fact, many of them may just be memories that add color and flavor.

This leads to the fact that many times, by chance, Li Muyang is able to enjoy things again that he was unable to enjoy in the past, but he still cannot feel the taste of happiness.

Li Muyang washed the alfalfa sprouts five times in a row before putting them in a basket to control the water.

Alfalfa sprouts are wild vegetables picked from the ground. They may contain some insect eggs and so on. They must be washed repeatedly to make them as clean as possible.

After rinsing, run a little boiling water through it in a pot and blanch it quickly before use.

Of course, don't blanch it for too long, otherwise the vegetables will be cooked.

"Zi La~"

Li Xiangqin poured the hot oil into the small bowl where the red chili noodles were prepared, and a burst of steam immediately came out.

Immediately afterwards, the whole kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of cooked oil and spicy pepper.

The taste was originally very pungent, but Li Muyang sucked it greedily and seemed to enjoy it very much.

It had been a long time since he had smelled such an authentic smell of cooked oil and spicy food.

I miss it so much.

When his wife in the previous life was alive, she knew that he liked to eat this very much, so she never stopped eating it. She would cook a small bowl for him every few days.

Now, he smelled the familiar smell again, and suddenly missed his wife very much.

No, when you have a little free time, you have to ask someone to find a matchmaker and get your wife back first.

In this life, if he doesn't get a wife, then what will he do when he comes back? But he will really be lonely when he comes back.

After Li Xiangqin finished cooking the spicy oil, the big pot was free. She squatted at the door to peel the onions and garlic, giving up her place in the kitchen to Li Muyang.

Li Muyang first added a little water to the pot, boiled it, then threw the ground into it and cooked it, took it out and soaked it in cold water.

Of course, the ground must be cooked. To a certain extent, this stuff is a mixture of bacteria. If it is not cooked and eaten blindly, it may cause some kind of disease.

Whether it is stir-fry, cold salad, or making steamed buns like Li Muyang, it needs to be cooked first.

Pour away the water, wash the pot, and add new water. This time, add more water, half a pot less.

Alfalfa sprouts are very fluffy and take up a lot of space.

If there is less water, the dish itself cannot be covered.

This time the water will not boil in a short while.

Because electricity had not yet been delivered to Lijia Village, people still used wind boxes at this time.

A bellows is a kind of wooden furniture that supplies artificial air. It is pulled entirely by manpower. The air that can be sent in is very limited and is far less powerful than a blower.

Bang~
Bang~
Li Muyang was blowing the bellows while talking to his sister. "Qinqin, what are you going to do about the matter between you and Liu Xiaogang?"

Li Xiangqin was enjoying peeling onions when she suddenly heard her brother talking about Liu Xiaogang. Her hands trembled slightly, paused for a moment, and then started peeling again.

"I do not know either."

She shook her head, looking depressed.

When she first met Li Muyang at noon, she felt aggrieved, so she burst into tears. Now that her mood has stabilized, she hides her sadness in her heart, and her whole person seems a bit depressed.

Li Muyang felt distressed when she saw him like this.

As a brother, he just didn't want to see his sister being bullied. Today at the market, he had reached the limit of his patience. At that time, he was ready to go to Liu Xiaogang's house and beat him half to death first.

It is wrong to hit a woman, and it is even more wrong to hit your wife.

What qualifications does a man, who is also a gambler, have to show off his power in front of his wife and even beat her up, thinking that there is no one left in her natal family?
If his sister hadn't stopped him in the first place, he would have been really furious.

However, it was obvious that this matter could not end so easily. He thought about it and said directly to his sister: "Qinqin, please leave."

"what?"

Li Xiangqin dropped the green onion in his hand and stared at Li Muyang in shock.

These days, very few people get divorced. If life is not really difficult, divorce would not be mentioned at all.

Anyone who gets divorced will be embarrassed everywhere.

Not only can't hold one's head high, but what's even more difficult is that there is no place to live.

Because when a married daughter returns to her natal family, her brothers will also be separated.

My mother also lives with a younger brother or older brother.

When the girl goes back, she is actually a relative. How can any relative live in someone else's house all the time?

Even if brothers have no objections, they still have sisters-in-law or sisters-in-law.

Nowadays, every household is nervous. With one more mouth to speak, food and accommodation are all problems. Anyway, it is all kinds of inconvenience.

Moreover, women in this era have an almost blind sense of responsibility for their children. Sometimes they feel wronged, but they think that if they get divorced, the children will have no mother. If the husband finds a stepmother, he will not know how to abuse the child.

So I just persisted and endured it.

Slowly, as I grow older, I get used to it.

Many women don't feel any sadness when their husbands die, because their hearts have been dead since they were young, and the rest of their lives are just about lingering.

Even though Li Xiangqin was careless and said she wanted a divorce in anger, when she calmed down and heard about it, she still instinctively panicked.

"Is it really okay..."

"Why not?"

Li Muyang stuffed a piece of firewood under the pot and stirred the fire to make the flames stronger.

"How can I get a divorce? I'm divorced. Where will I go?" Li Xiangqin picked up the green onions and murmured with her head lowered.

She was very confused and emotionally unstable. She tore the green onions with her hands for a long time, but could not see the outer skin being torn apart.

Seeing his sister like this, Li Muyang felt tenderness in his heart. He said softly: "Come back to live with me for the time being. With me here, you won't have a place to sleep. As for men, don't care at all. God There are many good men down there, let’s not hang ourselves on a tree with a crooked neck.”
