Chapter 67: Pork Stewed Vermicelli
Although Su Yue lived on the edge of the village, the aroma of stewed meat still filled the village. It was dinner time, and every household was cooking. When she smelled this overbearing aroma, she instantly felt like the rice in her bowl was all over the place.
No longer fragrant.
Compared with others, what I eat is just pig food.
The greedy child made a fuss about eating meat. The parents hated the meat-eating people, but there was nothing they could do. The child cried so hard that they wanted to eat meat. There were dried bacon left over from the Chinese New Year at home, and they couldn't resist the child's fuss.
Just cut into two pieces and cook.
Although it's just two thin slices of meat, you can't taste anything when stewed with vegetables in a big pot, but at least it can give your child a toothpaste.
It’s miserable for those who don’t have meat at home. The children’s shrill cries can lift the roof. At first, the parents patiently coaxed them and continued to make trouble. The impatient parents just took off their shoes and started beating them. A beating is not a good idea.
Just be honest.
You can't spoil your child. It's good if you can have enough to eat. You can eat whatever you want.
Su Yue knew nothing about the war caused by pork stewed vermicelli. She took out two large bowls, filled them full, and filled half a bowl for Xiaobao. She was afraid of burning Xiaobao if she filled more.
Two bowls of pork stewed vermicelli, one large and one small, were placed on the table in the main room. The table in their restaurant had been laid out a long time ago, but they were used to eating in the main room for so long that they had no intention of going to the restaurant.
Xiaobao was asked to eat it by himself first and reminded him to be careful when scalding it. Xiaobao agreed, scooped up a piece of pork with a trembling little spoon, raised his mouth and blew hard.
Xiaobao blew it for more than ten times and felt that the meat was cool, then he stuffed it into his mouth. His little mouth was bulging like a little hamster, and his greedy little look was so cute!
"Ouch!" I squinted my eyes and started eating with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Su Yue took the remaining bowl and put it in a small basket, covered it with a cloth and went out. The basket was not big and could only hold two or three bowls. It was learned from Su Yue and Wei Jianguo. She had special mental powers.
Yes, Wei Jianguo taught her once, she learned it after just one look, and figured out many knitting techniques.
She went to the mountain to cut some bamboo, and she made a dozen of these baskets, large and small.
Su Yue went to Li Laogen's house next door.
The courtyard door was ajar, but Su Yue didn't rush in. He raised his hand and patted the door, saying loudly: "Uncle Lao Gen, Uncle Lao Gen, I am Su Yue, are you in the house?"
Su Yue stopped after shouting twice and waited outside. Soon, the sound of approaching footsteps was heard in the yard. With a "crunch", Li Laogen opened half the door and looked at it expressionlessly.
Su Yue, if she doesn't come out, she has no intention of letting her in.
"What's the matter?" Li Laogen said in a deep voice.
Facing Li Laogen's cold face, Su Yue didn't care. She knew that Li Laogen was such a person. He looked like he didn't want to see you, but he inadvertently helped. Just like today, he gave Xiaobao a baby
Ma also has White Rabbit Toffee, a person with a cold face and a warm heart.
He smiled and said: "Thank you for the wooden pony you gave Xiaobao. He likes it so much that he won't let go of it while eating. No, I made pork stewed vermicelli at home. I'll bring you some."
As he spoke, he lifted up the cloth on the basket, revealing the steaming pork stewed vermicelli underneath that was filled with delicious aroma.
Li Laogen lowered his eyes and looked at the basket with an unmoved expression, as if it was not an appalling piece of meat but a handful of worthless weeds.
"No, you can take it back." Li Laogen looked back at Su Yue.
Facing Li Laogen's unmoved attitude, Su Yue raised her eyebrows. This was a bit difficult. However, there was no reason to take back what she wanted to give away. It seemed that she could only use her...
The killer is here.
"When I came out, Xiaobao told me that I must give it to you to eat. Now that I'm carrying it back, Xiaobao should be disappointed. Alas."
Su Yue sighed and glanced at Li Laogen secretly.
Sure enough, when it comes to Xiaobao Li Laogen, he can't keep calm.
Thinking that Xiaobao would be unhappy with his little head hanging down, Li Laogen felt that it was neither good nor bad to drink the bowl.
Seeing this, Su Yue said quickly, "Uncle Gen, get a bowl and I'll pour it in. I'm not worried about Xiaobao being alone at home."
"Don't worry, why don't you come out?" Li Laogen glanced at Su Yue and said softly. Su Yue could hear a little bit of complaint in his tone.
He opened the door and turned sideways to let Su Yue in. Su Yue went in. Li Laogen didn't close the door, just left it open.
When an outsider comes to the house, she is still a young daughter-in-law. If the door is closed, there may be some gossip. If the door is left open, outsiders passing by will not be able to say anything.
Su Yue entered the door without moving around. When Li Laogen came back, she followed him into the main room.
On the table in the main room were a bowl of pickled vegetable dumplings, a few steamed buns with mixed noodles, and a bowl of sweet potato porridge. It turned out that Li Laogen had just eaten.
Su Yue glanced at the dining table without leaving any trace, and couldn't believe that Li Laogen was eating just this. As far as she knew, Li Laogen was not short of money.
Just for the batch of furniture she made for her, she paid 50 yuan for the craftsmanship fee. In addition to the ones she made for others, the labor fee was higher than the monthly salary of workers in the town, which shows that the craftsmen are very popular.
Eat pickles with so much money?
Not to mention meat, there should be vegetables. Now is the time when vegetables are on the market in large quantities, so there should be plates of vegetarian dishes on the table!
"Pour it into this bowl." Li Laogen took out a clean bowl and put it on the table.
Looking at the bowl, Su Yue twitched the corners of her eyes. This bowl was quite clean, but there were a few bites missing. Wouldn't you prick your mouth while eating?
I didn't notice it before, but now I take a closer look, and I can see that this house is almost bare-walled. Except for the table, chairs, and the teapot and cups on the table, the entire main room is empty.
Su Yue poured the pork stewed vermicelli into the open bowl, said something and left.
Stepping out of the courtyard, Su Yue couldn't help but think of the reason why Li Laogen's home was like this. She had just learned about it from the memory of the original owner.
When Li Laogen was a teenager, he went out to study under his master. His master had a daughter who was about the same age as him. As time went by, the two young people fell in love with each other, and they naturally got married when they got older.
.
He became the master's son-in-law, and the master was even more devoted to him. He was like his own son and taught Li Laogen all he had learned throughout his life without reservation.
Li Laogen is also very impressive. Within a few years, his craftsmanship has surpassed that of his master. As his reputation has grown, there is an endless stream of people looking for him to make furniture.
At this time, their son had just turned five years old. He was a lively and smart age. He had a good wife and loving son. Li Laogen was full of hope for his future life. He had already planned to buy a set of tools for his son and teach him carpentry.
Already.
However, there are unpredictable circumstances, and accidents always come unexpectedly.
More than 20 years ago, all the wood used for making furniture was the carpenter's own. Li Laogen would often go up the mountain to cut trees by himself, and he would go there for several days. This has been the case in the past few years, and nothing happened to him.
