Chapter 94 Bunny is so cute
Wenzi is back! When he returned to the village, Li Wen encountered villagers asking questions from time to time. Children also ran after the bicycle, so Li Wen had to push the bicycle towards his home.
Today happened to be the weekend and there were a lot of children in the village, all playing in front of their homes. Li Wen came all the way and saw his little sister Li Juan at the door of Uncle Jiu's house next door. The little guy was playing with rocks (catching foreigners) with a few little girls.
"Xiaojuan!" Li Wen shouted loudly.
The little girl looked back and saw that it was Li Wen, and was pleasantly surprised. "Brother!" She stopped playing with her friends and ran directly towards Li Wen.
Looking at Li Juan who grabbed the back seat of the car and wanted to touch the cloth bag on the back seat, Li Wen smiled and touched the little girl's head.
"Stop squeezing it and wait until you get home. I'll give you a few candies to eat." Li Wen waved his hand and told the little girl not to touch the bag because there was tofu in it that could easily break.
Li Wen took out a few unwrapped sugar cubes from his trouser pocket and handed three to the little girl. He also gave one to each of the other little girls who were watching eagerly.
Seeing five or six little kids running in the distance, Li Wen quickly pushed the car into his house. He didn't want to scatter candy everywhere, otherwise he would be doomed if he got stuck.
"Awen is back!"
As soon as Li Wen walked into the house, he saw the old lady talking to Uncle Jiu and her mother in the yard.
"Grandma and Grandma Six are chatting." Li Wen smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
""Awen also goes to work in the city now?" Grandma Six next door asked with a smile.
"Not yet, but it's almost the same. The county cultural center asked me to help with some writing matters." Li Wen was quite grateful to the cultural center. If it weren't for the cultural center, he wouldn't have so many reasons to go to the county frequently.
"It's good to be educated anytime." The old lady sighed after hearing this. Li Wen smiled and didn't reply, pushing the bicycle into the room.
""It's getting late, let's have lunch soon! Let your mother-in-law and grandson talk, I have to go back and help cook." Grandma Six stood up and said as she watched Li Wen return to the room.
That's all right, let's have fun when we have free time. The old lady also got up to see her off.
"Nai, please tell Grandma Six not to leave in a hurry. Go to the county town to deliver some fruits to friends, and take them back to satisfy Qiangzi and the others." Li Wen walked out with a yellow paper bag. (The fruits are glutinous rice sticks and other noodles.
Coat the product with sugar.)
"You kid, why are you doing this? Just keep it for Xiaojuan and the others to eat." Grandma Six hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.
"Take it, it's just two handfuls. Children's lives have been hard in spring recently, and they are greedy." The old lady took the paper bag from Li Wen's hand and stuffed it into the arms of Grandma Six.
"Well, the little guys like Aqiang are enjoying themselves again." Grandma Six took the rice sticks with a smile on her face.
After Grandma Six left, Li Wen took out the bag, took out three apples and a large bag of fruits and handed them to the old lady.
"Grandma, there's been a lot of slack lately, and there's been very little green vegetables. Eat some of these Marshal Huang apples. These apples are very delicious with noodles, and your teeth won't have any problem eating them." Li Wen said with a smile.
These apples were secretly purchased by Li Wen when he was managing the canning workshop, and there are still many in the warehouse.
Apples are very shelf-stable and are still available after spring, so they are rare and not eye-catching when you buy them home.
"Apples are a rare thing this season. As an old lady, I ate them and wasted them. I'd rather give them to your brother and the others." The old lady picked up the apples, touched them and said with a smile.
"Milk, no need. I bought them fruits and candies. Don't worry about them." Li Wen patted the bulging fruit packaging and said.
As he spoke, Li Wen broke open an apple and handed it to the old lady.
When the little girl saw Li Wen coming back, she stopped playing with the children. After showing off her candy outside, she ran home in a hurry.
"Wow! There are apples too." The little guy's eyes seemed to light up when he saw Li Wen breaking off the apples.
"Xiaojuan, come here quickly, grandma will give you some apples." The old lady handed the other half of her hand directly to Li Juan.
Li Wen looked helpless and shook his head.
"Grandma, you eat apples first. I bought a hare. I'm going to kill it now. Let's eat rabbit meat for noon today." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Brother, rabbits are so cute, how can you eat rabbits?" Little Li Juan laughed hurriedly when she heard that Li Wen was going to kill the rabbit.
"The rabbit is dead." Li Wen said as he took out the rabbit with bleeding nose and mouth from the cloth bag.
"Ah! Who is so cruel as to kill the rabbit?" The little girl was not afraid and ran over to pet the rabbit.
"This rabbit was a fool. It killed itself when someone chased it." Li Wenbian told a story to the little girl.
Li Wen ignored the little girl and went directly to the central courtyard, took a basin and started peeling the skin. The little girl was also brave and was not afraid. Dun watched next to Li Wen.
In fact, no one in the countryside is bold at this time. Every year when pigs are slaughtered, everyone gathers around to watch.
Some little kids like to have cold hands in winter, so their father took the hand and stuffed it into the belly of a pig that had just been killed. I don’t know which ancestor passed down the folk remedy. How brave.
After killing the rabbit, Li Wen processed the rabbit skin with plant ash and alkali. Then he spread out the rabbit skin and nailed it to a wooden board with a few nails. He waited until winter to make a hand guard or something to keep him warm.
"Grandma, we have stewed rabbit and tofu in an iron pot for lunch today." Li Wen finished killing the rabbit and took out the tofu he bought.
"Then the relationship is good, and you can improve your life again at noon today." The old lady was also very happy when she saw the tofu.
"I'll go to the kitchen and cook for us at noon. Just take a rest and wait to eat." Li Wen said with a smile.
Li Wen came to the kitchen and marinated the rabbit with rice wine and salt. There was no onion and ginger now, so Li Wen secretly took some pepper from the room to remove the smell. People rarely eat pepper at this time and can't taste it.
I took a radish out of the cellar. Now that the weather is warm, radishes tend to become gritty. But it's good to eat some, and Li Wen doesn't care.
Today he went home and brought several kilograms of rice and cornmeal to his family.
Now cook the staple food in the pot on the back stove. The staple food is rice porridge for today. But it is not pure. Cornmeal is added to it to make it thicker and more filling.
Nowadays, potatoes are not peeled, and Li Wen doesn't dare to peel them. If he peels them and waits to get home, he will be peeled. Don't ask, because he has a criminal record.
Wash the potatoes and radishes, and cut about one or two pieces of bacon from the rafters.
The Li Wen family made part of the pork killed last winter into bacon so that it can be stored for a longer period of time and can be used to entertain guests at any time to improve their lives.
There are three pots on the stove. Originally, the third pot was a clay pot for cooking pig food. Nowadays, pig food is rarely cooked, so the clay pot is no longer used.
Li Wen bought two iron pots last year, and put the aluminum pot at the back instead of the earthenware pot. Now the aluminum pot is used to cook porridge, and the other two pots are used to cook two dishes.
Li Wen first cut the rabbit meat into very small pieces because the family cut it too much and couldn't eat more than a few bites.
This rabbit weighed more than four kilograms, and after killing it, it weighed just over three kilograms. Li Wen quietly took out the rabbit meat he had killed from the space and added more than a kilogram to it.
Because rabbit meat is thin, Li Wen added some oil and fried it. Finally, Li Wen added half a pot of water and started to stew. This thing is to drink soup and eat meat, and the soup is more nutritious than meat.
Then he started making radish stewed with tofu, because the tofu needs to be fried in oil, which consumes oil. Li Wen got a little from the oil jar at home, and the rest was the cooking oil in the used space.
Fry the tofu, stir-fry the bacon, and finally add the radish slices and pour in water. A radish and bacon stew with tofu is ready.
The rabbit meat will be rotten in about forty minutes, then pour the cut potato cubes into the pot and stir, the aroma will be fragrant!
"Awen is back?" In the yard, my mother and others had finished work. When I walked in, I heard the little girl Li Juan saying that Li Wen was back.
"What are you cooking for Awen? It smells so good, I can smell it in the yard." Second Aunt Cui Yanzi walked into the kitchen and asked with a smile.
"Stew tofu with radish, bacon, and roast rabbit with potatoes." Li Wen was adding firewood to the stove. When he looked up, he saw his second aunt saying with a smile.
"Awen, do you want us to help?" At this time, her mother, Wang Chunmei, had also finished washing and walked into the kitchen.
"No, Mom, you and your second aunt can rest outside. The food has already been put into the pot and will be cooked in a while." Li Wen stood up and waved his hand.
The stewed tofu with radish and bacon was the first to come out of the pot. Li Wen took out a big basin and started scooping it out.
At this time, Li Min and others had also returned home from school. They were all lying at the door of the kitchen, sniffing non-stop.
After scooping out the stewed tofu, Li Wen began to scoop out the porridge. After more than a dozen bowls of porridge were finished, he began to call outside for dinner.
"I ate Awen's free meal today!" The second aunt smiled and walked into the kitchen with her mother and started serving rice on a wooden plate.
After his mother and others brought out the stewed tofu and porridge, Li Wen began to serve the stewed rabbit meat.
When you open the lid of the pot, the aroma of potatoes and rabbit meat immediately hits your nostrils.
Six large potatoes, four to five kilograms of rabbits, plus soup, filled a large basin and Li Wen took it out.
"smell good!"
Li Wen put the basin on the table, and the little guys' eyes lit up when they looked at the rabbit meat.
"Everyone, sit down and I'll serve rabbit meat for you." The second aunt took out some more bowls from the kitchen and called out.
Everyone was very happy eating porridge, stewed rabbit meat and tofu.
"Brother, this rabbit meat is so delicious. How about we eat it next time?" Little Li Juan kept talking while eating the rabbit meat.
"Xiaojuan, didn't you say that Tutu is so cute? You shouldn't eat it." Li Wen looked at the little guy with a smile and said.
"Huh! Ignore you, stinky brother, I didn't say anything." The little guy was exposed by Li Wen for a while, his face turned red, and he turned away.
"Have you saved it for your dad and your second uncle? Today's delicious food is so delicious. I have to save some for your dad and his friends. They are working hard at the reservoir." Mother Wang Chunmei said.
"Mom, we can't finish these two pots. Just one bowl per person is enough. The rest can be eaten again when my dad and uncle come home in the evening." Li Wen pointed to the remaining half of the pot.
Chapter completed!
