Liu Changhe's daughter-in-law quickly brought over a few bowls, and Zhang Hongmei filled a bowl for the old lady first.
"Tai Nai, hurry up and try it, give me some face and a good review!"
"If it tastes good, how about saving face?" Although the old lady said so, she picked up the bowl, scooped up a fish ball and put it into her mouth, chewing faster and faster, followed by the second, third, until one After finishing the bowl, he handed the bowl to his daughter-in-law, and another bowl came.
Shitou Sanya ate slowly, and drank soup after eating one, and Dashan ate it up in two mouthfuls, but did not ask for a second bowl.
Zhang Hongmei also ate a bowl and put it down, "Tai Nai, I have to go back, and I will come back to see you next week. I will also make fish balls for you, but you should eat more this time."
"I'll give them a taste, I'll eat another bowl, and save the rest for lunch and dinner. I'll eat them all."
"Hehe, as long as you like to eat, I'm leaving."
"Wait for Hongmei, take the fried miso sauce. I'll put it in a small basin for you and wrap it in a cloth so it won't spill."
"Okay, grandma, take care of me grandma, I'm leaving."
Zhang Hongmei returned home and put on her satchel, and told Shi Sanya who came back with her, "Remember to go back and tell me Sanya, put the cucumbers at home into the pickle jar for me, and eat the tomatoes in the cafeteria, or it will be useless."
"Now that you know Sister Hongmei, you can rest assured."
It's getting late, so Zhang Hongmei won't go to the principal's house.
When we arrived in the village, we stood at the station and waited for the bus.
It was already dark when I returned to the city, and it was completely dark when I entered the house.
I woke up early the next morning and saw that the tomatoes in my yard were growing very well. I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, my mother used a glass bottle of infusion to preserve the tomatoes.
I have to think of ways to make something and keep it as a gift.
During the lunch break, Zhang Hongmei went to the city hospital and chatted with the gatekeeper, "Master, can I get a glass bottle for infusion?"
"Why do you want those? The doctors took them back."
"Can you ask me, sir, I want to buy some glass bottles."
"You go in and there is a sanitation worker, you can ask her."
Zhang Hongmei thanked the janitor and entered the hospital. The current hospital is only on the second floor, and there are not many patients in it.
Find women doing hygiene. "Ma'am, can you help me buy some glass bottles for infusion, with rubber caps."
"Today, there are three. Let Dr. Li take them. You can ask him. His office is at the end."
Zhang Hongmei approached Dr. Li, "Can Dr. Li sell me the infusion bottle?"
"Then what do you want this bottle for?"
"I just want to save it for hot water in the future. The cap of this bottle is tight so it won't leak."
"None of these doctors have ever sold them. If you want them, I'll give them to you."
Zhang Hongmei said in her heart that there are still many good people. You can't take advantage of others.
As a result, the bottle handed over grabbed a handful of toffee and stuffed it into Dr. Li's hand.
"Thank you, can you save some more for me in the future? I can exchange dried sweet potatoes with you."
Dr. Li clenched the sugar in his hand, hesitated for a while, "Okay. I'll keep it for you. You can come and get it the day after tomorrow. I can reserve ten bottles for you."
"That's great, I'll come over the day after tomorrow to get some dried sweet potatoes for your children so they can grind their teeth."
Dr. Li has a special conflict in his heart. He has a few empty bottles. If he asks for other people's dried sweet potatoes, he will have a conscience, but the family eats a certain amount of food every day, and his two children are skinny.
I have not eaten enough for more than a year.
In the end, I agreed against my conscience.
Zhang Hongmei went back to school by bicycle.
"Hongmei, what have you been doing?"
"Oh, Song Zigan, you haven't rested yet? I, I went to the hospital to look for these things. Later, I want to see if I can use them to preserve tomatoes."
"Is this still possible?"
"Try it and you'll know? I'm going back to the classroom."
In the evening, Zhang Hongmei went home, picked more than a dozen tomatoes, washed them and put them in a basin.
After that, I washed the glass bottle. After repeated washing several times, I started to boil the water.
After the water was boiled, scooped a few scoops of boiling water and poured it on the tomatoes, and then covered it with a curtain.
I scalded the bottle with boiling water again. I still think about the quality of things now.??Okay, be careful when pouring boiling water, for fear that the glass bottle will explode.
Take out the tomatoes and peel them, put them on the cutting board and change the knife.
Put the diced tomatoes in a basin, wait until they are all cut, then take out a small spoon and put them in a bottle, the last bottle is not too full.
Then steam the bottle filled with tomatoes on the drawer, and turn off the heat after 20 minutes.
The next morning before going to school, put the cap on the dry bottle and it's done.
Zhang Hongmei looked at the tomato sauce in the bottle and felt that the tomatoes should be cut bigger next time.
One day I went to the hospital with two catties of cooked sweet potatoes. This time I brought back ten bottles. I made an appointment with Dr. Li to pick them up next time and hurried back to school.
Just like that, Zhang Hongmei got into the crazy job of making canned tomatoes.
If there are not enough tomatoes in the yard, use the space, and plant another crop if there is not enough space.
Zhang Hongmei didn't stop until she saw Dr. Li looking at her strangely.
More than 50 have been prepared in the warehouse. They were all placed in a cool place, so there was no change in more than 20 days, so it should be a success. At least no signs of fur were found.
Zhang Hongmei will return to Liujiatun this weekend. It's already August in the Gregorian calendar, and there is still no sign of rain. Is there still no rain this year?
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. On Saturday, after picking up the newspaper and carrying ten catties of brown sugar on my back, I took the car home.
Getting off the car in the countryside and walking back, I saw that there were no crops in the fields, and even some fields had a few straws that were not as high as thighs, and I felt very uncomfortable.
It is better to enter Liujiatun, at least the sorghum stalks are more than one meter high.
The sweet potato seedlings have not climbed away either. If this continues, there will be no harvest in Liujiatun.
Did not go home, went directly to the old lady's house.
"Tai Nai, I'm back."
The old lady came out of the house, looking much better than last time.
"What are you carrying?"
"Brown sugar, it's all back this time."
The old lady looked at Zhang Hongmei with relief. This girl is upright and never takes more than her own.
"Hongmei, you come into the house with me."
Zhang Hongmei followed the old lady and sat on the kang in doubt, "What's wrong?"
"Hongmei, this is the money that your Uncle Aimin brought back from the capital. You can take it and exchange it for the cheapest food."
"Is it still a stick?"
"In the middle, you can change as much as you can. Can you set a time?"
"Are you particularly anxious?"
"After you make an appointment, let your Uncle Aimin find a car to bring it back." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
