Li Feng packed up a few dishes, including fish, shrimps and vegetables, all at his own convenience. The children were all hungry, so they put rice on top. Li Feng saw the baby holding a shrimp and sliding it down the rice. The little girl was angry.
Gugugu kicked his boots. Li Xiaoman never expected that several children could serve so much food on their own.
"Haha, Xiaogang, don't worry about the baby and the others. Let's eat first. We are in a hurry today and haven't had time to prepare to eat more meat." Zhao Xiaogang seemed a little reserved and ate like a girl. After all, he is not a big child and has little contact with people and things outside the school.
.Li Feng and Zhao Xiaogang talked for a while, and the child actually decided to drop out of school.
"Xiao Gang, have you discussed this matter with your mother? This is not a trivial matter. According to me, you must go to college. Don't listen to others saying that Wenpin is useless. These are all nonsense." Wenpin is not only.
It is only a stepping stone or a ladder for promotion. There is no harm in going to college no matter what.
"But my mother's health." Zhao Xiaogang was thinking about what Li Feng didn't know. Li Feng chuckled. Li Feng had never scoffed at excuses such as not being able to go to college. Now the tuition fees can be borrowed and will be repaid after graduation. Living expenses and other expenses can be used by himself in the first year.
On Saturdays and Sundays, I work part-time jobs after studying. There are also the school's annual subsidies and scholarships for poor students. The student subsidies may not be much, but one semester of the national scholarship is enough for you to live for a year. It is even possible to apply for two years, and you can graduate from college.
, if you can get a scholarship every year, you may be able to pay off your tuition before graduation, or even send some home. When Li Feng said this, Zhao Xiaogang's eyes lit up.
"Don't worry about the first living expenses. There are nearly three months after the college entrance examination. During this time, you can try summer jobs, coffee shops, Western restaurants, and large hotels. The salary may not be high, but you can include food and accommodation for a month.
**Hundred dollars. This is enough for you to live and eat in school for one semester." Li Feng said, of course he was frugal, there is no doubt about this. Zhao Xiaogang listened to Li Feng's words and nodded, Zhao Xiaogang's
I don’t want to go to school anymore. I’m probably considering the issue of tuition and living expenses. “Don’t watch those TV shows about how you can’t afford tuition and how poor your life is. It’s all nonsense. Apply for loans, work part-time jobs while studying, try to get scholarships, and so on.
You've done it all. You don't have to spend a penny to go to college and you can still make money." Li Feng didn't understand why so many poor college students couldn't afford to go to school. Is it because they didn't want to take out loans? The loans need to be repaid by themselves. Are these people so
Greedy, deceiving everyone, tuition fees are no longer a problem. Five hundred yuan a month for living expenses is definitely enough for one person without spending it randomly. In three months, it is not too difficult to earn three thousand yuan doing part-time jobs, especially in the country.
There is a scholarship worth tens of thousands of yuan. There is no reason not to fight for it. Most of the college students are already adults because they rely on charity from others. Li Feng can sympathize with the children in the ditch. But he scorns the so-called poor college students.
Li Feng pointed out a way for Zhao Xiaogang. When sending Zhao Xiaogang away, Li Feng patted Zhao Xiaogang on the shoulder. "Work hard and get into a good university and show your mother. Haha, of course our county high school has rewards for students who have passed the exam. Maybe they will get good grades."
Okay, we’ve got the living expenses for one semester.”
"Well, I got it. Thank you, Brother Li. I will definitely study hard and make money quickly." Finally, Zhao Xiaogang blushed a little and took out some of Li Feng's heads. "|Brother Li, my mother and I have spent a hundred yuan on meals these days.
Money, there are still 900 yuan left here and I will pay it back to you first. I will pay back the medical expenses to Dr. Wu slowly." Zhao Xiaogang's slightly immature face showed a trace of determination. "You keep the money for now, I will wait for you.
Use your scholarship to pay me back next year, and work hard. The money will be there, and your life will get better and better." When Li Feng sent Zhao Xiaogang away and returned to the yard, he found Li Xiaoman staring at him.
"What's wrong?" Li Feng was full of doubts, and Li Xiaoman's eyes were strange. "It's nothing, he is a good boy, you did the right thing."
"Yes, what a good child. By the way, Baobao and the others, why did they run out after eating? It's been a while." Li Feng was a little strange, why none of the three little girls were seen. They usually stay at home at this time to watch.
Cartoons, sit back and do homework, but no one is there today.
Li Feng thought he was going to the small courtyard. His grandma, mother, and grandpa were all there. He thought he would go over and take a look. He planned to make rice cakes these days. Rice cakes are physical work. You can do it even if you look at it.
There is a big difference in the taste. Li Feng is definitely a good worker. Whether it is making glutinous rice cakes or making rice cakes, Li Feng is a good hand. Li Feng has enough physical strength to make several rounds in a row.
"This is not what you said to punish them to feed cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and wild boars. These children carried bamboo baskets on their backs and rode Xiao Longnu happily to the back mountain." Li Xiaoman seemed to look at Li Feng on purpose.
What a joke, Li Feng really forgot how enthusiastic these little guys were about feeding wild boars and lambs.
"It was a mistake, it was a mistake, how could I have forgotten it?" Li Feng was depressed. This was not a punishment. It was completely based on the wishes of a few children. No wonder so much food was served during the meal. This was because he planned to finish the meal early. Li Feng can imagine
, the three little radishes carried the bamboo baskets and slid down the little dragon girl's tail one by one, and ran into the wild boar pen to play with the little wild boar, shouting excitedly.
"Have you told them not to get their clothes dirty, or else they should be careful about their little butts." "Haha, I told them, but I don't know if it is of any use. These children were so happy that they forgot about normal things." Li Xiaoman
These days, many children are not allowed to feed wild boars. It turns out that wild boars like the dirt in the ground too much. The babies have cute bells and like to play. In the end, it is inevitable that they will come back with a splash of mud.
Li Feng shook his head, he had done all this on his own, forget it. Li Feng and Li Xiaoman had a conversation, and they came to the small courtyard together. At this time, Li Feng's grandfather Zhang Tian was putting soaked glutinous rice into the wooden steamer.
Steaming rice in a wooden steamer is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Nowadays, electric rice cookers are popular. Although not many people use them in Lijiagang, there is also a sub-trend. Electric rice cookers are simple and convenient. For the novel cooking method of farmhouse, it is more convenient and faster to clean than using a firewood pot to cook rice.
.However, Li Feng felt that the rice cooked in a wood-fired pot was still more fragrant, and the crispy rice was delicious with its brown and delicious texture.
Of course, the taste of rice steamed in a wooden steamer is more evocative, but unfortunately not everyone can do it. Li Feng’s mother, Zhang Lan, can’t say that she cooked it well. This time, her grandma came and used a wooden steamer that had not been used for many years.
Steaming glutinous rice and making glutinous rice cakes. Li Feng feels that glutinous rice cakes are similar to Northeastern cakes to a certain extent.
The ingredients are the same, glutinous rice, but the beating method is slightly different. Li Feng helped his grandfather pack the glutinous rice, and neither of them could help with the remaining steamed rice. At this time, it was time for Grandma Li Feng to show off her skills, every step of steaming rice in a wooden steamer
Washing the rice, cooking the rice, filtering the rice soup, loading the steamer, and heating are all very important. Every step is critical. The rice must be washed thoroughly, but not over-washed. When the rice is cooked to a certain level, the rice soup must be filtered out.
The half-cooked rice that has become soupy is called rice grits. If too little water is added when cooking the rice, the rice soup will be too thick and difficult to filter out from the rice. The rice grits will be sticky and airtight, and the steamed rice will either be raw or not.
It is not refreshing. If too much water is added, the aroma of the rice will be absorbed into the rice soup, and the steamed rice will be bland and tasteless.
Li Feng could only help carry water on the side, and the firewood had been ready for a long time. Li Xiaoman was quite curious when she saw it for the first time. For her, it was very strange to use firewood to burn a big black pot. There were also wooden barrels.
It was the first time he saw something like steaming rice, but when Li Xiaoman was a little curious and asked Li Feng, who knew everything next to him, Li Xiaoman was surprised to find that Li Feng didn't know much about this wooden barrel steaming rice.
"This is a wooden steamer. I used it several times when I was a child. I don't remember it very well at that time. I have rarely used it for so many years. Today I made some rice cakes to wash and clean. Don't look at it. It looks like a wooden barrel. Is it steaming rice?
What's so surprising? In fact, there are many ways inside, and it's very complicated. Most young women nowadays don't know how to use it. It's too difficult to control the heat, which wastes time." Li Feng said, filter out the rice soup. You must always pay attention to this and filter the soup.
Afterwards, you should also pay attention to your breath.
"It's really interesting, but it's much more complicated than a rice cooker." While the two of them were talking, grandma had already begun to filter out the rice soup. After a while, she could smell the aroma of the rice. Now she could extinguish the fire and the rice was already steamed.
, you can only get angry and let it go slowly.
"How about the fragrance? There is a reason for this. Our wooden steamer is made of fragrant cedar wood. The rice has the aroma of cedar wood. Our glutinous rice is of good quality, but not much. It is only enough for our own family."
Li Feng pinched some steamed glutinous rice and gave it to Li Xiaoman to taste.
"The taste is very good." Li Xiaoman tasted it and it was really good. The two of them talked without paying attention to the eyes of the elderly people. Li Feng's mother Zhang Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of worry and a little joy, while Li Feng's grandma's eyes were full of joy.
.Li Xiaoman is a good grandson-in-law. She is pretty, sensible in what she says and does, and her baby is very cute.
"Grandpa, let me help you." Li Feng didn't pay much attention at the moment. He was helping his grandfather Zhang Tian carry the rice. The washed stone mortar in the yard has not been used for many years, but it finally has a use this year. The steamed glutinous rice
Pour it into the stone mortar and pound it with a wooden pestle. Li Feng is very good at this job, but Li Xiaoman, who comes to help turn the glutinous rice dumplings, is a bit incompetent. Li Xiaoman originally saw his grandfather doing it quite easily, but
As soon as I started to use it, I felt something was wrong. It was either too slow or too fast. Every time I was frightened by Li Feng, not to mention that she was frightened. Li Feng was frightened to death. The force of this wooden pole was not small.
It hurts my hands.
"Haha, Xiaoman, you have to pay attention to Xiaobao's rhythm and follow his rhythm." Zhang Tian looked at Zhile, but did not look at him to give instructions. As expected, Li Xiaoman gradually became comfortable with the rhythm.
The two of them looked like a couple, and Zhang Tian was watching from the side but was quietly pulled away by Grandma Li Feng. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly vote,
