Chapter 11
There are usually two stoves in rural areas, some on one side, some on one side are connected to one side, and there is also a stove that connects the kang. In winter, the fire is constantly burning, and it can keep the indoor temperature and burn water.
Yunshu's family is the kind of stove that connects two stoves together, and the iron pot is also large and small.
In the first few years, the iron pots were handed over to make iron pots. Later, the canteen was disbanded, and the village could not find a way to buy pots, because iron pots not only cost money, but also industrial rolls.
At that time, most of the villages had no money, not to mention industrial rolls that were only given by workers.
It was only after the big father thought of a solution that dozens of families in the village bought enough pots.
Yunshu shook his head, no longer thinking about this, steamed the rice and started to clean up the fish.
Thank you for learning how to cook when you live alone, otherwise no matter how good the ingredients are, it would be useless to catch up with the young lady who is not touching the spring water.
This is to talk about Yunshu's parents' education methods. On the one hand, he is naturally spoiled by his children and has never said anything about money and materials; but on the other hand, he strictly requires himself to do his own things.
Yunshu grew up in the countryside before she was twelve years old. When she was in school, she was only three years older than her. Her mother didn't care about breakfast.
Yunshu has been washing clothes by herself since she was eight years old, rubbing her hands or washing machines at will, and her mother doesn't care about it either.
Therefore, Yunshu's hands-on ability has always been good. After living in, he got tired of eating outside food, so he followed the recipe to study it, and it tasted pretty good.
These two flower lambs are only more than one pound in total. There is no more seasoning except salt at home, so Yunshu decided to steam it.
However, she still smuggled some soy sauce, cooking wine, added some onions, ginger and garlic from the space, marinated the fish, placed it in a fish plate, and steamed it directly in a pot.
After cooking the fish, Yunshu looked at the cicadas in the bucket. These things were so savory that they were no longer energetic after only a while. No wonder they almost became extinct in the 21st century.
Yunshu simply picked up all the fish, dug up mud from the front yard, wrapped them one by one and stuffed them into the kang stove, which was called "beggar shrimp".
After packing the stove, Yunshu went to the front yard to give the seedlings between the cabbage and radish. The seedlings that came out can be used as vegetables and will be eaten tomorrow.
When Dazhuang took his pocket home, the fragrance of fish and rice had already spread. Fortunately, Da Ya's house was living in a side manner. Otherwise, the gossip would have reached the ears of Da Ya's grandmother and second aunt, and I wonder what happened again.
After Da Zhuang came back, he first inserted the door and couldn't wait to say, "It smells so good, sister, what delicious food have you made? How can I smell the fragrance of fish?"
Yunshu took the pocket of Dazhuang's hand and opened it. It was a handful of soybeans, about two taels. He saw him stretching his neck and looking into the main room, and smiled and said, "Fill water first to wash your hands and face, and see if you are dirty."
Dazhuang also looked at his body and smiled foolishly, "It's enough to be imprisoned." Then he looked at his sister with some confusion: "Sister, I find that your words are getting better and better."
Yun Shu felt a sudden heart. Seeing that his younger brother didn't pay much attention, he felt relieved, "I'll know when you go to school. People who have a little education speak Mandarin. Just like the Beijing dialect that Uncle Gu from our family said the year before yesterday."
Speaking of school, Da Zhuang looked disappointed. If his parents were still there, he would go to school as soon as the spring next year.
In the 1960s, the school still recruited students in spring, and the primary school system was six years. In addition to winter vacation and summer vacation, there was also autumn harvest vacation. In the area of Daya and others, the summer vacation and autumn harvest vacation were released until mid-September. Because the winter time was long, the winter vacation was held again after the twelfth lunar month.
Because the mountain roads are not easy to walk, Daya is 8 years old and will be in the third grade in the spring next year.
Yunshu patted his younger brother's head, "Don't worry, I have my own way to go to school. I'll wash my face and hands quickly and see what delicious food I made for you."
Dazhuang washed his hands and Yunshu also opened the pot. Looking at the snow-white rice, golden millet steamed two rice, and the fragrant steamed fish, Dazhuang widened his eyes.
"Sister, where do these things come from?" Then he said with heartache: "How can you eat like this? It's so bad."
Yunshu looked at his little adult-like younger brother, and it seemed that he would not be able to eat if he didn't let him know about the existence of the secret room in advance.
"I've shown you something. My sister forgot before. She was hit by heat and had a dizzy mind. She actually remembered it."
Yunshu said, and pulled Dazhuang to the front yard to get down the cellar. Then Dazhuang looked at his sister in surprise and lifted the straw mat, revealing the secret room behind the wooden door.
I saw that in the secret room, there were not only a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, a can of salt, a can of oil, but also some eggs, bacon, and wind chicken.
The cotton cloth, silk, and leather in the wooden box still remembered it, and there was even a bow and a dagger for my father to hunt.
Looking at the can of precious cans of golden milk milk and the cans that were stacked with about ten bottles, Dazhuang swallowed, and pressed the sound down low.
"Sister, are all this saved by my mother?"
Yunshu nodded and showed him the iron box containing the money, but the little yellow croaker did not reveal it. "There is still a hundred yuan inside. Don't worry, I will never let you starve again."
Dazhuang blinked and touched the hunting bow left by his father, tears fell down, "Sister, I won't go to school anymore, I will learn to go up the mountain to hunt in the future. We can always support ourselves."
Yunshu closed the door of the secret room and put down the straw mat. Then he patted Dazhuang's head, "Don't worry, sister, you and Xiaozhuang will be college students in the future, and three college students in the family, but they can give their parents a face. We are not wild children without anyone's care. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, I will fight them to the death."
After leaving the cellar, the siblings and siblings took steamed fish and Kaoragu, and each of them ate two big bowls of two rice.
After the meal, Dazhuang touched her stomach and burped, "It's so full, my cooking is much better than before."
Yun Shu said without raising his head: "The skills taught by my mother are not bad. I used to eat at home, so my second aunt gave me some cornmeal and sorghum rice. It was just a porridge. No matter how you do it, it tastes the same.
Today's seasonings are all borrowed from my brother Guan Fusheng's family. When our family buys these things in the future, we will make them for you every day."
After hearing this, Dazhuang waved his hand, "You can't eat this every day. Although my mother has a lot of food, we have to raise Xiaozhuang and Xiaoya in the future. There is only one can of wheat milk essence. If you don't eat it, you can only feed rice soup. You still have to save money on the rice at home.
If it were in the past, I could have exchanged some milk produced by cattle and sheep in the village, but now, the milk is not enough for lambs and calves to eat.
Although our grandfather is the village chief, even if his aunt wants to drink milk, she is not allowed to squeeze in. It is called digging for socialist corners.
Sister, you don’t remember it. It was last year that I made a fuss over this matter for half a month. It was my father who came back and my mother sent a can of malted milk semen to stop it.”
Yun Shu thought about it carefully before finding out this matter from Daya's memory. At that time, Da Ya Niang planned to share the can of wheat milk semen with Xiao Wu from her two children.
Later, due to the milk incident, Dan brought it to the county town to Da Ya's aunt.
Uncle Yun was speechless about the best family, so he nodded, "Listen to you, I will go up the mountain to cook pheasants for you and make chickens and stew mushrooms."
