Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 24 Joy
Su Yun and others rushed home with a cart full of things. Fortunately, it was cold enough and it had snowed for a few days. The snow on the ground had not completely melted, so no one came out to hang out.

Otherwise, if they, poor households, suddenly bought so many things and came back, they wouldn't be surrounded by people? !

Just after entering the gate, I heard Lu Huan'er's voice, "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, second brother, is it you? Are you back?!"

Taking a closer look, the little guy had been waiting in the yard for an unknown amount of time, and his nose was completely red from the cold. Su Yun was startled, and hurriedly said, "Second sister, you are waiting here." How long has it been?! Nonsense! In this cold day, what if you get sick? Go back!"

"Not in the way, not in the way!" Lu Huan'er looked at the small cart full of things behind Su Yun, and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and happily flew to the cart like a butterfly shuttles among the flowers in spring. When I saw the pork hanging on the side of the trolley, my mouth watered, "Meat, meat!"

The children in the family ran out one after another when they heard the noise in the courtyard. Sanlang hugged the fourth sister, and the third sister led the fourth brother. When they saw the cart full of things, their eyes lit up. Even the youngest fourth sister was clamoring to come down.

Lu Sanlang couldn't resist her, so he had to put her down, took her hand and walked to the side of the car. The little bean man was not as tall as the car, but stretched out two small hands to climb the side of the car, stood on tiptoe, and kept shouting : "Meat, meat, meat is delicious, Yuaner wants meat, meat!"

"You little greedy cat!" Su Yun hugged Lu Yuan'er, perhaps the younger the child, the easier it is for adults to please him, Su Yun especially likes this little guy, Lu Yuan'er.

Firstly, it is pity that she lost her parents at such a young age, and secondly, this little guy is really likable.Even though she is still young, her big eyes are full of wit. When Su Yun was depressed a few days ago, the little guy would snuggle up to her, ask him what was wrong, and say he wanted to brag about it. , Blowing will not hurt.

That well-behaved appearance, not to mention how lovable it is.Therefore, in this family, Su Yun will have a special preference for Lu Yuan'er and Lu Silang, after all, they are too young and should be given more care due to such misfortune.

Of course, the other children in the family cannot be left behind.As the head of the family, she has the responsibility to take care of every child.This kind of responsibility is not just to feed them, but also to take care of the children's emotions.

She didn't want these innocent children in front of her to have their personalities distorted in the process of growing up because of the cruelty of reality.Although she can't replace their parents and eldest brother, she still wants to give these children as much care as possible.

Seeing everyone's happy appearance, except for Lu Yuan'er, everyone stepped forward to help, even the five-year-old fourth brother.

At this time, the little guy didn't know where the strength came from. The ten catties of meat was carried into the house by him, and then he never came out again. His eyes were fixed on the meat, as if he was afraid of being snatched away. .

Seeing his miserly appearance, Su Yun was immediately happy.What's more interesting is that the always quiet third sister Lu Tuan'er also dropped her reserve at this moment and started talking more. Every time she moved things into the house, her eyes would always sweep towards the pile of pork in front of his younger brother. so few glances.

Su Yun saw everything in his eyes, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart while finding it interesting.It's the satisfaction of giving for others.

Seeing the children cheer up with these items touched her emotions.Although these things are insignificant in her values ​​that have not been completely reversed.

But she still gave birth to a spontaneous satisfaction.This sense of satisfaction is full of happiness and pride.

She couldn't tell where that sense of pride came from, but she felt it clearly.Thinking of the faces of Lu Anfu and Wang Shi, this feeling is even stronger.

Seeing the bad food piled up in the corner of the kitchen, she seemed to have let out a bad breath, just like the song in her previous life, she had the joy of being a serf turned into a master.

Su Yun couldn't help but want to laugh out loud whenever he thought of the astonished expressions of Lu Anfu and his wife when they miscalculated.As soon as that picture flashed in her mind, she felt that all the cells in her body, from the strands of her hair to her toes, were about to dance.

Think about the counterattack plan I conceived yesterday...

Su Yun's eyes became brighter.

Hmph, I have to spit it out after eating it!Lu Anyou, good uncle, just wait and see!This time not only to fight back, but also to make you vomit blood. If you don't avenge this revenge, she will write Su Yun's name upside down.

The things were quickly packed into the house, and Lu Xier quickly put the cotton, cloth, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar where they should be. Then she looked at the ten catties of pork, and her sallow face showed a trace of satisfaction. Smile.

She looked around and saw that her sister-in-law and her eldest brother were being pestered by several younger brothers and sisters talking about what she had seen in the county. The smell of pork stayed in his lungs for a while, and after turning around in a big circle, he exhaled slowly.

The expression of satisfaction on his face became even stronger, and his smile deepened.The melancholy between her brows also slowly dissipated, she stretched out her hand and poked on the fat, and poked again, feeling the unique delicacy of the fat, Lu Xier's heart became warm.

He happily picked up two knives of meat and put them in the basin to wash them, with a smile on his face like this, he was actually a little more satisfied than when he caught the fish yesterday.

Su Yun told the children what he had seen and heard in the county, and promised to take them to the city when they were older, and then these children let Su Yun go.

Su Yun entered the kitchen and saw Lu Xi'er was washing the meat with a contented smile on her face, and her expression was also very focused. Su Yun approached her lightly, and she felt happy again.

This child, the flesh is so washed... the movements are light and slow, as if she is giving someone a massage, and seeing her satisfied expression, my heart feels a little sour.

It's all poor!The poor eldest sister, who was only [-] years old, was forced to become a little old lady by this life. After many days, except after catching a fish yesterday, it was the first time I saw her smiling so happily, that smile was so deep. From the bottom of her eyes, she could see the joy in her mood at the moment.

"Sister, is the meat ready?"

"Huh?" Lu Xier was startled by Su Yun's beautiful imagination, she was slightly taken aback, then blushed, and said in a low voice, "Yeah, it's finished washing..."

Su Yun smiled slightly and said: "Let sister-in-law come, you fainted before, you should go to rest for a while, and you can eat braised pork later. Eat more meat, and your body will be strong, so you won't faint .”

Speaking of this, Lu Xier blushed even more.When I was buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones, I heard that my sister-in-law wanted to let all the children in the family go to school. When she got excited, she felt the blood rushing to her forehead, and then her eyes went dark, and she didn't know anything.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in the arms of her sister-in-law. After asking, she realized that she had fainted due to excitement.Being in public again, she just felt ashamed to death.

Now when my sister-in-law mentioned this again, she was thin-skinned, and when she thought of what happened just now, she blushed, not to mention, even her ears turned red.

Su Yun smiled lightly, and then sighed again: "Speaking of which, our family has had a hard time in the past two years. Now you are growing up, and you don't have much nutritional supplements, so you easily faint when you get excited Woolen cloth."

"In the future, my sister-in-law will cook delicious food for you every day."

"Well, I listen to my sister-in-law." Lu Xi'er's voice was like a mosquito screaming, pinching the corner of her clothes, lowering her head, blushing, her shy appearance reminded Su Yun of all kinds of girls in Ming and Qing novels.

He chuckled unkindly twice, drove Lu Xier out of the kitchen, and let her go to rest like a parent, which happened to relieve Lu Xier.

Xiao Nizi is good at everything, but she is too thin-skinned and too weak-tempered...

Take your time, I believe that when life improves, and I take good care of her, maybe she will be more cheerful.

As soon as I was talking, the water in the pot was already boiling.Su Yun put the washed pork into the pot and boiled it. After the meat turned white, he took it out, rinsed both sides in cold water, and then put it in the basket to drain.

Taking advantage of the draining time, she washed the onion and ginger, sliced ​​the ginger, chopped the shallots, took two garlic cloves, peeled off the big chestnuts she just bought in the city, and put them in another pot of boiling water. Scooped some hot water, soaked the peeled chestnuts in it, so that the skin of the chestnuts can be easily removed, which can save a lot of trouble!

When all this is done, the meat in the basket is also drained.Only then did he pick up the kitchen knife and cut the meat into pieces of about four centimeters.When making braised pork in brown sauce, the meat should not be cut into pieces when boiling water, otherwise the taste of the meat will be reduced after the water boils.

Then it must be cut slightly larger, but not too large. If the meat is small, the meat will be old after a little stew; but if it is too large, it will be difficult to sugar and taste.

A simple bowl of braised pork, if you want to make it well, there are many ways to do it.Su Yun was from Jiangsu in his previous life, and he was only 100 kilometers away from Shanghai. Although many dishes are very different from Shanghai dishes, the cooking method of braised pork is similar.

It is all about a thick oily red sauce. The braised pork must be fat but not greasy, and the brightness and color of each piece of meat must be maintained.

It is very important to keep the color and brightness of the meat in the sugar coloring step.Before that, however, the size of the piece of meat is also a factor of success.

I put the vegetable oil I just bought from the city in the pot, and I smelled a special aroma of rapeseed flowers just after entering the pot.

Su Yun had eaten it when he was young, but after salad oil became popular, he never tasted it again.

This smell is both familiar and strange, as if it came from a long time ago, and the memory of food is unfolded bit by bit...
