Chapter 13 Even though I have food, I can’t keep my mouth shut
Yun Mo explained calmly, "Sister-in-law, I don't have meat or vegetable tickets, so the price is a little more expensive than others."
Li Li didn't expect this to happen, and was choked to the point of speechlessness.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say this morning that the two families will share the expenses equally when they eat together, so look at the money spent on meat and vegetables today..."
"You bought the meat and vegetables yourself. It's so expensive, so you can eat it yourself. I can't afford it!"
After saying that, Li Li took out the meat and vegetables that Yun Mo bought for lunch, and stuffed them into Yun Mo's arms with annoyance.
Yun Mo hugged the meat and vegetables with a look of embarrassment on her face, "Sister-in-law, how can I eat so much meat and vegetables by myself? It's so hot and it will go bad if left for a long time. Let's share it together."
"Who wants to share the burden with you? You can buy it and eat it yourself!"
After saying that, Li Li picked up her son and went back to the house, closing the door loudly, fearing that Yun Mo would drag him away and make a big mistake.
"Auntie."
Yun Mo lowered his head, faced Ling Chunhua's worried face, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
She made a shushing gesture and took Ling Chunhua outside. Then she took out a big white rabbit, peeled off the candy wrapper, and fed the milky white candy to Ling Chunhua's mouth.
"Eat, I left this specially for you."
"Thank you, aunt."
Smelling the scent of toffee, Ling Chunhua's eyes lit up, but she didn't open her mouth immediately. Instead, she took the candy with her hand, bit into half of it, and then handed the other half back to Yun Mo.
"Auntie, you eat too."
"good."
Yun Mo took half the candy and put it in her mouth, then pulled Ling Chunhua into the kitchen.
Yun Mo asked Ling Chunhua to help raise the fire on the stove. She turned around and poured some spiritual spring water into the gourd gourd while she was scooping water, and then poured it into the pot with the water. After the water boiled, she poured the two
Put the cabbage into the pot, cook until raw, remove, and set aside to dry.
"Chunhua, do you have an empty jar at home?"
"have!"
Ling Chunhua quickly brought her a clay pot about one foot high.
Yun Mo took the pottery pot and looked at it. It was a suitable size, but it contained some water, and it didn't smell bad at all.
"What was this used for?"
"Mom used it to soak salted duck eggs. Once the duck eggs are eaten, the jar will be empty."
Yun Mo washed the clay pot and put it in the yard to dry. Then she filled the water for blanching the cabbage in a basin and let it cool down for later use.
After doing this, Yunmo washed the potatoes and pork, cut them into thumb-sized pieces, and prepared to make a potato-roasted pork dish.
Half an hour later, the potato-roasted pork came out of the pot, and the rich aroma of meat suddenly filled the entire small courtyard. Even Li Li in the room was so greedy that she drooled.
"I want to eat meat! Wow, oh, oh, I want to eat meat!"
Just as Yun Mo was walking into her room carrying pork stewed with potatoes, she heard Ling Jiale's crying coming from Li Li's room.
She and Chunhua couldn't finish the large pot of roasted pork with potatoes, so why not give some to their nephew?
Just when this thought flashed through Yun Mo's mind, she heard Li Li's voice coaxing Ling Jiale from inside the room.
"Whoever eats it will ruin their mouth. We won't eat it. Be good, and mom will fry some steamed buns for you tomorrow."
You are the only one with a bad mouth, your whole family is a bad mouth.
Yun Mo angrily glared at the window of Li Li's house, turned to Ling Chunhua and said: "Chunhua, let's go back to the house to eat meat."
Ling Chunhua nodded heavily and looked at Yun Mo with bright eyes.
Not only is my aunt good-looking, but the food she cooks is so delicious. It’s really amazing!
I don't know if they heard Yun Mo's words, but as soon as the two of them entered the house, before they could sit down and start eating, they heard Li Li yelling and cursing from outside.
"Chunhua! Where did you go? If you haven't come back and washed the dishes, you will be lazy every day. You will never be lazy!"
"Auntie, I'm going back first!"
Seeing Ling Chunhua's nervousness and fear, Yun Mo had no choice but to twist a piece of meat with her hands and stuff it into Ling Chunhua's mouth.
"You go back and wash the dishes first, then come over quietly later and I'll keep them for you."
Ling Chunhua swallowed the meat in a few mouthfuls, wiped her mouth, then turned around and ran out.
"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. Are you a dog that cannot be fed enough? You will follow whoever gives you meat!"
Outside, Li Li was still yelling and cursing at Sang and Huai, but Yun Mo pretended not to hear her. She ate one mouthful of potatoes and one mouthful of meat with relish.
Conditions are limited, and the Ling family's kitchen only has three seasonings: oil, salt and soy sauce, but with the blessing of Lingquan water, even simple cooking can make the most delicious dishes.
After eating and resting for a while, Yun Mo went out to pickle the cabbage in a clay pot to make sauerkraut. However, when she went out, she found that the clay pot was gone and the cabbage water she had used to pickle the sauerkraut in a basin had also been used.
Dumped.
She knew who did it without asking, and Yun Mo was very angry.
It's too late at this point to go out and buy a jar of sauerkraut. The cabbage has been boiled to pieces and will go bad tomorrow if it's not pickled in time.
Yun Mo had no choice but to find a Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain lid jar from the space, and pickled two cabbages with Lingquan water.
Blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty was very rare, and this one was of the highest quality. Yun Mo was worried that it would be accidentally damaged if she put it in the kitchen, so she brought it into her room.
The next day, Yun Mo was woken up by Ling Chunhua's knock on the door while she was still sleeping.
"Auntie, mom asked me to wake you up and make breakfast."
Yun Mo glanced sleepily at the gray sky outside the window, yawned and got up from the bed.
After washing up, Yun Mo went to the kitchen for a walk, then went back to the house, took some change, and went to the street corner to buy some steamed buns and soy milk for 5 cents.
When she went back, Li Li saw the steamed buns and soy milk in her hand, and she couldn't help but say something weird.
"Brothers and sisters are really good at enjoying things. Last morning they ate steamed buns, and in the evening they ate a large bowl of potatoes and pork. This morning they had steamed buns with soy milk. For those of you who don't know, I thought our Ling family was getting rich."
Some people are just mean and can't keep their mouths shut even if they have something to eat.
"It turns out that my sister-in-law doesn't like to enjoy happiness and likes to eat pickled vegetables. Okay, I understand."
Yun Mo carried the buns and soy milk back to her house, then went into the kitchen to cook half a pot of white porridge, and steamed the multi-grain steamed buns that she had not finished yesterday.
"Where's the food?"
Li Li looked very unhappy when she saw that Yun Mo had hid the steamed buns and soy milk and only gave them white porridge and multi-grain steamed buns.
Yun Mo looked at the other party in surprise, "Is there any food at home? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"
"Where are the potatoes you cooked last night?"
"Finished."
"You finished eating such a big bowl by yourself?"
"Well, sister-in-law, didn't you let me eat it by myself?"
Reluctantly, Li Li ran to Yun Mo's room and searched around. Sure enough, she couldn't find potatoes or pork. She turned around and saw a blue and white porcelain jar at the foot of the bed. She bent down to open it, but was stopped by Yun Mo who followed.
"Sister-in-law, this is the sauerkraut I pickled. You can't eat it yet."
Li Li curled her lips, turned to look at the steamed buns and soy milk on the wooden table, rolled her eyes, and smiled kindly: "Brothers and sisters, my family has food in their mouths and refuses to eat without food. Anyway, you bought so many steamed buns.
