Liang Xiaonan saw that he had a smile on his face but his face was darker, so he asked, "Where have you been these days?"
The little daughter-in-law missed him, and Zhou Yan felt as if a cat had scratched him.
"I went to other places for business, and when I came back I went to the county for a run. It was agreed with the cotton mill. They have always wanted to start the silk reeling business, but there was no one raising silkworms in the surrounding counties. I gave them a
He said that they were very excited and said that the prices would be better than those in Suzhou."
"Business at Wanghu Tower is very good, and your potatoes and fish are in short supply. Cheng Gang knew that all the potatoes here have been dug, and he was still anxious. I asked him to start supplying in limited quantities a few days ago. Who knew that business would be even better, and everyone lined up to grab it?
.”
"Everything else is fine, except that there is an outbreak of malaria all over Linglong City, and the supply of medicines is not available. Some medicinal material dealers from other places took the opportunity to raise prices, and the county is a bit chaotic."
Linglong City is the superior department of Yu County, and the urban area is more than 200 miles away from here.
He was telling the truth, but the main reason he went to the county this time was to deal with Wang Cuiying and Liang Dazhuang. They wanted to harm his little wife all day long. He was so angry that he had to deal with those two scumbags.
Unexpectedly, he happened to meet the county leaders who were in a panic. There was a malaria outbreak and the situation was very serious. They were all busy with this matter. They only said one sentence to him. It was important to save people now. If Wang Cuiying dared to come to the county, she would be responsible for "spreading rumors to make a living".
"Things" will be directly locked up and educated, and the trivial matter of Liang Xiaonan's singing will not be investigated.
He was thinking about his little wife, so he turned around and ran back. Even Yang Hanlin asked him strangely why he came back so quickly? He used to say that he would go out for at least a month or two, but this time it was better, he came back in 10 days
.
He told Liang Xiaonan about his itinerary in the past few days. Of course, he didn't say that he wanted to deal with the scumbag. He didn't want his little wife to look at him with grateful eyes. A man should protect his wife and he should deserve it!
Zhou Yan carried the bucket and Liang Xiaonan pushed his bicycle, and soon arrived at the Liang family's old house.
Liang Xiaonan knew that he was working hard outside and said, "Sit still and I will make a spicy and sour fish. Do you like it?"
"Of course I like it. Not only do I like that fish, but everyone in my family also likes it. My grandma is from the south. She keeps talking about it, not to mention my grandpa and the others. They all praise you for your craftsmanship." Zhou Yan said, "You have it."
When the opportunity comes, it would be a good idea for us to sell this recipe to Wanghu Tower in exchange for some money."
While Zhou Yan was talking, Liang Xiaonan had already neatly cut the fish fillets into half a bowl, sprinkled them with salt, minced ginger, and chopped green onion, mixed with some wine and vinegar, and marinated them. Then he beat two eggs and coated them with a layer of starch.
.
The mandarin fish is a big fish, half a basin of fish fillets.
In another pot, the remaining fish meat and fish bones were boiled into a milky white fish soup.
I grabbed a handful of sauerkraut, cut it into sections, cut a few peppers, minced onion, ginger and other seasonings. Heat the oil in a pan. When there is a faint smoke, add the bean paste provided by Xiao Hongyu's family, and then put it in and prepare it.
The seasonings, pickled cabbage segments, and black bean sprouts are stir-fried for a while, and the aroma begins to waft out.
Zhou Yan felt very comfortable smelling the fragrance. He didn't expect that Liang Xiaonan could cook such delicious dishes. The process looked very complicated to him. His wife is really a great chef!
Liang Xiaonan didn't know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely give him a big fork and she would cook so many dishes.
Sauté the sauerkraut until fragrant, pour in the fish soup, bring to a boil, and quickly put the fish fillets into the pot one by one. The fish is tender and it doesn’t take too long at all. The fish soup is fragrant, the sauerkraut and chili are sour and spicy, and the fish is simply delicious.
The greediness of people is brought out.
Lift the pot, sprinkle with coriander and chives, and pour boiling oil on it. It's so sour and refreshing, and the fresh aroma hits your taste buds, making you salivate.
Zhou Yan watched her cooking and felt itchy in his heart. Liang Xiaonan was so good-looking, had good looks, good-looking moves, and sounded nice.
In his mind, he heard Liang Xiaonan say: "Go to the fields and call Xiaobei and ask him to come back for dinner."
He immediately rode his bicycle to the fish pond obediently.
When they came back with Grandma Liang, Liang Xiaonan had already prepared a table of dishes, including a large pot of pickled fish, a plate of fried snails in sauce, and two small green vegetables.
If Zhou Yan hadn't come, they would have just made a big pot of pickled fish to eat.
It's like a dream for Grandma Liang. Ever since the family was separated, her granddaughter's abilities have been revealed. She was forced to work in the fields every day by Wang Cuiying. She never knew that her granddaughter could cook so well.
eat.
A big mandarin fish is a lot, but Zhou Yan is big and Liang Xiaobei is scurrying around. They both have a good appetite. The crystal white fish fillets are fresh and tender, with a spicy and sour taste, and not a bit of fish.
No fishy smell at all.
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaobei each ate three large bowls of rice and a large pot of pickled fish until there was no soup left. After finishing the fish, they slowly ate the snails.
Liang Xiaobei said: "Brother Zhou, you don't know, my sister has been planting artemisia annua on the mountain since spring, and she has been tinkering with it every day. The fish pond in our house is planted with artemisia annua, and I water it every day.
They are all taller than me now."
He calls Zhou Yan his brother-in-law in front of others, but he still calls Zhou Yan in front of Zhou Yan. After all, he is not married. He has to always remind Zhou Yan not to think that he doesn't cherish the vegetables once they are dug into the basket.
Zhou Yan said: "You should eat more, look at the grass growing taller than you."
Liang Xiaonan and Grandma Liang both burst into laughter, and Liang Xiaobei also smiled and said: "My sister's cooking is so delicious. If I eat two more bowls every meal, I will definitely grow taller."
Grandma Liang said with a smile: "You are going to make our family poor."
"My sister is capable. If you follow my sister, you will have fish, meat and rice to eat."
After joking for a while, Liang Xiaonan said to Zhou Yan: "Do you know anyone in the county?"
"You have a friend. What do you want to do?" Zhou Yan said, "Just leave it to me to do it."
"Isn't there a major malaria outbreak now? We can't get any medicinal materials? The Artemisia annua I grow is specifically designed to suppress this disease. It's a miraculous medicine."
"Really? I really don't know." Zhou Yan's eyes lit up, "Since the previous dynasty discovered that cinchona bark is effective against malaria, they have been using cinchona tree bark. This kind of tree is difficult to grow and there is not much of it in the world.
There are so many malaria outbreaks everywhere, and every country is trying to get them, and the hospitals are helpless."
"Cinchona bark is not as effective as Artemisia annua. I don't know if Artemisia annua is available elsewhere, but I have planted it a long time ago. It is everywhere in the fields, mountains and yards."
Liang Xiaonan said that she wanted to sell half to the county and give half to the county. The county would have the final say on the price, and she would not set the price.
Malaria breaks out in a large area, and it is important to save people, but if you don't charge a penny, others will think that you have ulterior motives.
"That's great. I'll contact you about this. I definitely can't give it away for nothing. It makes no sense that you have worked so hard for so long and just give it to others for nothing. Besides, giving it away for free makes other people think it's easy to get."
What Zhou Yan meant was that he went to find people to spread the news that this medicine had miraculous effects, and called the leaders to ask for Liang Xiaonan.
He was full of food at Liang's house, but he had something on his mind, so he left quickly, tying a large bundle of flowered Artemisia annua to the tail of the car.
