Yamashita family

Chapter 73

This year's Chinese New Year because Su Zi is pregnant, so Mother Su brought Su Lan over to help, steamed steamed buns, fried crispy meat, fried fish, the smell of oily smoke is too strong, most people don't want to eat in the kitchen all morning, let alone pregnant women .

"Mom, we have a small family, so don't make too much, the leftovers are not tasty." Su Zi thinks it's better to eat and cook now, and there is no need to make enough to eat until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"I didn't get much for you." Mother Su replied while mixing the meat.

Su Zi looked at the pot of meat in her hand, is this not much?I couldn't help swallowing, so how much do you mean?

Su Lan looked at her and said with a smile: "We have deep-fried several pots at home, mother said, there is a lot of meat, so eat hard."

Su Zi: ... Well, I'm guilty of not being able to appreciate the days when meat can only be eaten during Chinese New Year!

Su's mother glanced at her and said, "Where is that going? We have a large family, and we are big men. We can eat two large bowls for a meal, and we eat quickly. Then there are relatives who come from the house. What can be eaten, can’t be less.”

"You have a small family and no relatives. The crispy meat I fried for you won't be mixed with so many noodles. The meat is more delicious." Mother Su said with a smile.

"Mother, I want to eat croquettes, vegetarian meatballs." Su Zi began to ask.

"Okay, get some radishes and chop them up and fry them for you."

Li Qingshan immediately went to wash and chop the radishes, and then asked, "Ah Zi, what else do you want?"

Su Zi: "Twist twist should be salty, not too thick, with sesame seeds inside, fragrant and crunchy."

Li Qingshan: "Okay, I'll rub it for you." This is simple.

Su Zi: "I want to eat right now."

Before Li Qingshan could speak, Su's mother gave her an angry look, "How can you listen to the wind and rain like this? You have to give it some time to do it."

Li Qingshan started chopping radishes bang bang, then mixed the batter, even if he had prepared all the ingredients for the vegetarian meatballs, and then started making twisted noodles non-stop.

There is no need to leaven the dough, just beat the eggs and mix the salt and sesame seeds together, then add flour into it, and knead while adding, Su Zi watched from the side without giving directions, thinking that putting so many eggs would be very delicious.

When Su's mother saw this, she felt that she was a waste of food. How could she eat like this?I beat seven or eight eggs alone, and just used the eggs to knead the noodles.

But seeing his son-in-law didn't feel sorry for him at all, and seeing Ah Zi happy, he felt happy, so that's it, anyway, their family is not short of eggs, so Su Zi won't eat three or four eggs that day?

When the fire started to fry, he pushed Su Zi out, "Go back to your room, the smell of oily smoke is too strong for you to bear."

Su Zi also knew that she couldn't be of much help here at the moment, so she went back to the room obediently, feeling a little sleepy, and fell asleep on the bed by herself.

There is a custom in the village that the first pot fried during the Chinese New Year should be respected to Lord Stove King and Grandma Stove King, and it is not allowed to eat while frying in the middle. In some places, even drinking water is taboo, and it can only be eaten after everything is fried. .

I don't know why this is so, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the villagers strictly abide by it, and no one will destroy it.

Su Zi slept and woke up and they had already fried them. Li Qingshan came over and told her to get up to wash and eat. Su Mu and Su Lan were cooking in the frying pan. The fried things were placed on the table in the main hall. It's fried golden in a pot, and it looks quite appetizing.

Li Qingshan didn't dare to let her eat more, he ate a piece of crispy meat, a piece of fish, and two twisted twists, and he didn't let her eat. He handed her a glass of water soaked in jam, "I'll eat in a while, don't eat too much."

Su Zi nodded, she wanted to have a balanced nutrition now, it's better to eat less of this kind of fried food, and focus on meals.

"Do you want to send some to Aunt Wei's house?" Su Zi asked after taking two sips of tea.

"Give it away, I brought a bowl of everything, and they will fry it tomorrow." Li Qingshan said with a smile, then looked at the twist and asked Su Zi, "There are a lot of fried twist, take some away when the mother and the others leave. How are you?"

Su Zi nodded, "Well, give them a taste, your cooking is the best!"

Li Qingshan: That's not right, put so many eggs and sesame seeds, no matter how bad the taste is, I can't help it.Seeing her smiling eyebrows and eyes are also happy, as long as you like it!
Chinese New Year is nothing more than eating and drinking, because her stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not very convenient to do things, so Su Zi didn't dare to visit everywhere, it's better for her to rest assured and raise her baby.

A few days after the new year, Li Qingshan was busy again. In his own words, he had to work hard to earn money to support his children. Su Zi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, just like earning money for milk powder in modern times.

This day Li Qingshan came back to tell Su Zi good news, "We have signed an agreement with the merchants in the town, and the medicinal materials, mountain products, and fruits will be sold in the future."

Su Zi was also very happy when she heard it, "It's so good, which one is it? Is it Donglin Pharmacy?"

"No." Li Qingshan shook his head and said: "Donglin has a regular seller, it was just an accident last year."

"Then this time?" Although Su Zi felt that it was a pity, but after thinking about it, it was not easy for everyone. He came early, so he couldn't steal their business.

"My surname is Jia." As he said that, he gave Su Zi a mysterious look, "I think you've heard of this person before, the one who was engaged to Li Feng before."

Su Zi was really surprised. "Ah? It's him?"

Seeing Li Qingshan nodding his head, Su Zi asked in surprise: "Will this person hate our village because of Li Feng's relationship?"

"Is he such a stingy person?" Li Qingshan said with a smile.

Su Zi sighed, "Then this person is quite broad-minded, and he can ignore past suspicions like this." But she still couldn't help asking curiously: "How is he? Have you seen him?" The person who can make Li Feng scoff at his gossip emotions must be a good person!
Li Qingshan shook his head and smiled, "I see, he is very kind, and he is also polite to us, without any airs."

Su Zi was immediately happy, "Let me just say that the people Li Feng doesn't like are all good people." Because of this relationship, Su Zi had a good impression of this person before he met him.

Li Qingshan: "That's not true, our Ah Zi is very good." Of course he knew what she was referring to.

Su Zi raised her head proudly, "That's right." She was not humble at all.

When Su Zi was chatting with Su Lan, she was still saying, "Oh, I really want to meet this man. You said that he didn't marry Li Fengzu, so he burned so much incense!"

Thinking about the current rumors in the village and Li Feng's current situation, Su Lan couldn't help gloating, "Sister, will you, Li Feng, regret it now? Let's live like that, but you have to kill yourself."

Su Zi thought about it seriously and shook her head, "I don't know about that. Li Feng likes Li Qing so much, so she probably won't regret it. Besides, Li Qing is going to take the imperial examination again this year. Maybe he can pass the exam this time. She shouldn't regret bringing her back." The last thing she said was not sure.

Su Lan was a little disdainful, "So what if I won the exam? She's not an ordinary wife, to put it bluntly, she is an ordinary wife. Everyone doesn't know that she is a concubine."

Su Zi shook her head, "No matter how you say it, Master Juren is also the first one in our village, and I don't know how many people will go up to curry favor with them."

"It's better for such a person to fail the exam all his life." Su Lan couldn't help being a little discouraged when she thought that Li Qingzhong would be an official after being promoted.

Su Zi held her back, "You can't talk nonsense about this, if it reaches Mrs. Wang's ears, she'll have to take it easy. Li Qing is very knowledgeable, and nine out of ten he can hit it off."

Su Lan was a little frustrated, "I know, I just think about it in my heart."

Su Zi gave her a push, and said with a smile: "Okay, what they do has nothing to do with us, we just need to do a good job in business, Li Qing is not a bad person, and he can't do anything to us if we keep our own. "

Su Lan's attention could easily be diverted, and she suddenly thought of what happened two days ago and said to Su Zi: "Sister, do you know how shameless Zhou Min's family is?"

"Huh?" Su Zi was stunned again, "Zhou Min? What happened to their family?"

"This time it's not Zhou Min, it's Zhou Min's younger sister, Zhou Li, who actually asked someone to tell her second brother!" Su Lan didn't know how to describe that family, and she was full of sarcasm when she said it.
