- ?
Anqing County is the junction of the north and the south, and the eating habits are naturally influenced by both the north and the south.
Most people eat rice, but everyone also eats noodles. The planting area of ??wheat is only a little less than that of rice. Wheat is also a must when delivering public grain every year. The flour that rural people eat is ground by themselves, and the color of making steamed buns and dumplings is not as good as that of Fuqiang flour, let alone refined white flour.
The taste is not as delicate as Fuqiang powder, but the original aroma of wheat is stronger.
Aunt Xia Xiaolan is good at making kimchi.
Red-skinned and white-hearted carrots are the main ingredient. There is salt and brown sugar in the kimchi water. Li Fengmei also adds some red peppers. The sweet and sour radishes are slightly spicy, which is very appetizing. Used to match with meat, it will make your mouth water when you think about it.
It was Liu Fen's job to meet the noodles, and Xia Xiaolan took over the stuffing stuffing. For this reason, she got up an hour earlier, washed and chopped in the kitchen, and made two catties of stuffed dumplings. There was only so much meat in the house, Xia Xiaolan filled two enamel jars full of dumplings, and only ate a few by herself, saving the rest for Taotao who didn't get up.
She was quite embarrassed:
"I'll buy some more meat when I get back today."
Meat is quite expensive, but it is not unaffordable to eat a catty a day.
Xia Xiaolan knows that money is saved, but she can't make money without spending it. She can stop looking at those good clothes, buy creams to wipe her face, and keep her personal items simple, but she can't let her family have enough to eat.
Li Fengmei chased her away, "Your uncle has packed up and is waiting for you at the door, let's go quickly, where do you want to buy meat, I asked the butcher to keep half a pair of pork livers yesterday, you and your uncle will come back early."
Liu Yong's rice harvest is almost finished, and today I need to ask others for help. Li Fengmei must cook a few dishes tonight.
Liu Yong has packed all the eggs and is waiting for her with his bicycle.
"Sit in the back seat with your back to me, and be careful not to crush the eggs in the baskets on both sides. Your mother felt distressed while picking up the broken eggs last night."
Dozens of eggs have broken, how can I not feel distressed?
These eggs are not wild duck eggs picked for nothing, they are all collected for money. Xia Xiaolan also had a hard time traveling from village to household. Everyone said that the 1980s was full of opportunities, but no matter how easy it was to earn money, it required sweat and hard work.
Xia Xiaolan sat firmly in the back seat with two enamel jars in her arms.
Liu Yong just laughed, "Aren't you full from the dumplings in the morning? Bear with me, when I arrive in Anqing County, my uncle treats you to a good meal!"
Xia Xiaolan thought to herself, when Liu Yong went to the county seat, besides inquiring about the news, he probably also wanted to solemnly thank Xia Zhoucheng and Kang Wei. No matter when, the way of expressing gratitude is inevitable to treat guests to dinner. It's just that the meal Liu Yong invited could no longer be a simple bowl of noodle soup.
Xia Xiaolan felt strange that she had borrowed money from her uncle and hadn't paid him back yet, yet she wanted him to pay for it.
"Uncle, you are so kind to me."
Although he is small, he is more like a "father" to Xia Xiaolan than the tall Xia Dajun.
Liu Yong stared sullenly at the bicycle, thinking that the girl was talking stupid again.
He loves Xia Xiaolan the same way he loves his son Taotao. They are both children of the old Liu family. Can he not feel pain?
If he had woken up a few years earlier, the family would be able to live without worrying about food and clothing. How could Xia Xiaolan earn the hard-earned money of selling eggs!
Liu Yong rode halfway, saw someone waiting on the side of the road from a distance, and felt vigilant in his heart. It's almost dawn, which kid is so idle, can't he be an accomplice of yesterday's hooligan, waiting to trouble his niece on the only way, right? !
"Xiaolan, look at the person in front, do you recognize him?"
Xia Xiaolan twisted her neck to look. In the morning light, the iconic crew cut paired with an unforgettable appearance, who else but Zhou Cheng?
"It's Brother Zhou Cheng, he and another comrade saved me yesterday!"
Liu Yong quickly braked, and Xia Xiaolan jumped out of the back seat:
"Brother Zhou, why are you here?"
The early morning dew wet Zhou Cheng's shoulders, and I don't know how long he has been waiting here, anyway, there are seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.
Seeing Xia Xiaolan, Zhou Cheng threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stepped on it:
"Didn't I tell you to go out later?"
He looked at Liu Yong again, and Xia Xiaolan hurriedly introduced: "This is my uncle. He said he would come to thank you two. Uncle, this is Brother Zhou Cheng."
Zhou Cheng was a little at a loss.
Xia Xiaolan is fair and tall, but Liu Yong is short and dark, so he doesn't look like his uncle. See parents so soon, Zhou Cheng??I wasn't mentally prepared, but he was an unruly and casual person, so he called Xia Xiaolan as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Uncle, I'm Zhou Cheng."
The lad looks respectable.
?He must be 1.85 meters tall, and he was a bit careless at first, but he straightened his back all of a sudden, and looked really energetic.
Just talking to him, Liu Yong had to raise his head, feeling tired.
Liu Yong looked enthusiastic, "Comrade Zhou Cheng, thank you so much, I said at home that I should bring Xiaolan to thank you two, this girl doesn't know the severity, and the grace of saving lives can be solved by eating a bowl of noodles? That's right , and Comrade Kang Wei?"
Do not sleep early in the morning, waiting for Xiaolan halfway?
Liu Yong had a grin on his face, a bowl of noodles could not offset his life-saving grace, nor could he compensate his niece.
Liu Yong is just an uncle, but to be able to stand up for Xia Xiaolan, the relationship between uncle and nephew must be very good, and Zhou Cheng did not neglect:
"We stayed at the guest house in Anqing County last night, and we had a truckload of goods with us. I asked Kang Wei to guard it. I heard Xiaolan said that I would go to the city today. I was afraid that those hooligans yesterday had accomplices, so I came to wait for her on the road. .¡±
Liu Yong nodded.
"Let's go, let's go to the city first."
Zhou Cheng originally came to pick up Xia Xiaolan on purpose, and Liu Yong was not in his consideration, but now that Liu Yong is here, he will talk to "uncle" in a serious manner. He took the egg-packed bicycle from Liu Yong and pushed it slowly, trying not to peek at Xia Xiaolan.
By the time they reached the county seat, Zhou Cheng had a good understanding of Xia Xiaolan's situation.
Knowing that she and her mother are staying at her uncle's house for the time being, she only started selling eggs a few days ago. Because of the busy farming season, there is no other staff at home. Xia Xiaolan is a loner, and only yesterday did she meet a hooligan¡ª¡ªZhou Cheng's brow Wrinkled, she is charming and coquettish, traveling around the countryside to collect eggs, isn't this sending herself into a dangerous situation?
When he arrived at the guest house, Kang Wei had long been eager to see through.
Seeing Xia Xiaolan, his eyes lit up, but looking at the silent Zhou Cheng, Kang Wei became a little listless.
Xia Xiaolan handed the sour radish and pork dumplings to Kang Wei, and introduced her uncle. Kang Wei also called "uncle" without thinking about it.
Zhou Cheng coughed lightly, "What are you talking about, you have to call Uncle Liu."
Liu Yong remained silent.
He understood clearly, Zhou Cheng's wolfish ambition, he didn't want to hide it at all! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
