Sun Dahai walked into the kitchen, took out a bowl, poured cold and hot water into it, and adjusted it to warm water. Then he took out a basin, rinsed the fungus, day lily and shiitake mushrooms, and soaked them in warm water.
Sun Dahai went into the house and took some money and meat tickets, then walked to the yard and said loudly to Cao Yue's house: "Gungun, I want to go out, will you come with me?"
Sun Yuanyuan's little head emerged from the room. "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Going to the grocery store to buy meat, are you going?"
"Only go to the grocery store... I'll play with the little turtle at home. Brother, if you want to go somewhere else, I'll go with you."
Sun Dahai went to the non-staple food store by himself. There were not many people buying meat, so he was quickly queued up. When the fat aunt who sold the meat saw it was Sun Dahai, she asked: "Dahai, I heard that you are hospitalized? What's wrong with you?"
Yeah? Are you cured?"
"Thank you. I'm fine now. It's just that I had a polyp in my nose. I just had time after the exam, so I went to the hospital to have it removed."
"What do you want to buy today? Or minced meat?"
"I don't want minced meat this time, I want to buy two kilograms of pork belly."
When the fat aunt heard this, she bent down and took out a piece of meat wrapped in oil paper from under the meat table. After opening it, she cut it into two pieces and put one piece on the scale. When Sun Dahai saw it, it was a red and white piece with five
Three layers of top quality meat.
"Wow!" The people waiting in line behind Sun Dahai to buy meat all exclaimed in surprise.
An old man teased the fat aunt: "Little fat man, why don't you see good meat usually? It turns out that you guys have divided it up."
It's a matter of professional ethics. Fat Aunt quits.
She put her hands on her hips and yelled at the old man: "You old man Wang, you actually said that to me! I only have these few pieces of good meat every day, and they all belong to the neighbors. Who do you want to give it to or not to? Dahai is a primary school student.
, is the future flower of the motherland. He has just been discharged from the hospital after surgery. Do you think, should I give him this piece of good meat? His family members are either college students or national cadres. Every time they come to buy from me,
Meat is never picky. Let’s talk about you, Old Man Wang. A few years ago, your daughter-in-law had less milk after giving birth. In those few months, every time you came to buy meat, I didn’t buy the fattest pig’s trotters.
And leave the kidneys for you? Last year, you renewed your string and begged me. I contacted me and asked my family to ride more than thirty miles to the slaughterhouse to buy you fresh kidneys..."
Old Man Wang's face turned red with embarrassment, and he kept bowing to the fat aunt, begging her to be merciful.
Fat Aunt VS Old Man Wang, K.O, Fat Aunt wins completely.
The fat aunt who won by strength was very proud. She glanced at the scale and said, "It's 2 pounds, let's go and make an invoice." As the fat aunt spoke, she tied the meat with a rope and put it aside.
Sun Dahai also looked at the scale just now. The meat weighed three pounds and was unbearable. Sun Dahai went to pay the three pounds of money and the meat ticket, then handed the written receipt to the fat aunt and got the meat.
The fat aunt casually looked at the receipt and was stunned. "Dahai, this..."
"Thank you, Fat Aunt. I'm going back first." Sun Dahai interrupted Fat Aunt with a smile, waved his hand, and took away a piece of pork belly instead of a cloud.
Back home, Chef Cao was preparing lunch in the kitchen. Cao Yue and Sun Yuanyuan were also watching from the door. Sun Dahai entered the kitchen, took off his coat, handed it to Sun Yuanyuan, and asked her to help put the clothes in the room. He washed his hands
, while asking: "Aunt Xiaoyue, what are you waiting for here?"
"Waiting for my dad to cut the potatoes so that I can feed the turtles. Unfortunately, it is winter now, there are no bugs, and it is difficult to get small fish and shrimps." Cao Yue studied animals. Although she has never raised a turtle, she knows what turtles like to eat.
Things are still not a problem.
Sun Dahai untied the rope that bound the meat, cut off a strip with a knife, which was about half a catty, and then handed the remaining meat to Chef Cao.
"This meat is good." Chef Cao is a real connoisseur. "Can you still buy meat like this in a grocery store?"
"The fat aunt left it. She heard that I had just been discharged from the hospital, so she sold half of it to me." Sun Dahai took out a potato, peeled it, and said to Chef Cao: "The meat tickets at home are almost out again. I will need them soon."
I told my dad that I have to buy it quickly. It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and I’m afraid it’s hard to buy meat tickets on the market.”
While talking, Sun Dahai suddenly paused and said with a smile: "I'm so confused! Aunt Xiaoyue, a turtle can just eat potato peels. It's better than eating potatoes."
"Brother, are potato skins delicious? I've never eaten them." Sun Yuanyuan asked after returning from putting away her clothes.
"We people don't like to eat potato skins, but animals do, like tortoises, rabbits, chickens and ducks." Cao Yue, a professional, had forgotten about this just now. However, she, who is rather thick-skinned,
She gave Sun Yuanyuan some popular science without any embarrassment. At the same time, she took the two potato skins handed over by Sun Dahai and took Sun Yuanyuan back to the house to feed the turtles.
Chef Cao whispered to Sun Dahai: "There is an Erdao dealer who specializes in buying things in various villages and then selling them in our restaurant. Yesterday, he secretly told me that he had ordered a ten-month-old pig in the village, weighing 300 kilograms, and made an appointment.
They killed it on Tuesday morning and sent it to the city in the afternoon after processing. They asked me if they wanted it. Of course we wanted it. After discussing with a few people in the hotel, I divided the pigs. They were not willing to spend money to buy too much, so I had half of the pig.
It's all mine. This Spring Festival, our family will not be short of pork."
"That's great, otherwise our family would never have enough meat. I'll go to the black market in a few days and buy some beef, mutton, fish and shrimp, and I'll be able to live comfortably this year."
"What are you doing for your Grandpa Huang today? I see you have made some good stuff. Are you going to make sweet-scented osmanthus meat?"
"I'm going to make braised noodles. Grandpa Huang has been transferred to the senior cadre ward, and I guess there will be a lot of stir-fried noodles. I'll make homemade noodles for him to change his taste. I only make braised noodles at home, and let the hospital cafeteria cook the noodles, or else I'll bring them over.
, can I still eat it?”
"Okay, you can do it. Anyway, Mr. Huang's taste is very close to ours."
"Grandpa Cao, I won't be eating at home at noon. Grandpa Huang asked me to eat with him. I'll ask Yuanyuan if she wants to come with me. I've made this stew for our family. You can make another one.
Plain brine is enough."
The marinade is ready. Fungus, day lily, shiitake mushrooms and fat and lean pork belly slices are mixed together. After adding broth and starch, the soup becomes fragrant and thick, with pieces of frangipani floating in it. It looks delicious.
It whets one's appetite.
Sun Dahai filled a full thermos bucket and went to the hospital to deliver meals. Going to the hospital with his brother was such a fun thing, how could little child Sun Yuanyuan miss it? So Sun Dahai got another little tail.
The Gaogan Ward is different. Sun Dahai and his sister were interrogated at the entrance of the ward for several minutes. Later, accompanied by Mr. Huang, the temporary secretary, they registered and entered the ward.
Mr. Huang's new ward is a large suite with one living room, three rooms and a bathroom. In addition to Mr. Huang's ward, there is also a living room, a study room and an attendant's room. His temporary secretary lives in it. No wonder Grandpa Huang said that living in a high-ranking cadre
The ward is more convenient. His temporary driver is not there because Mr. Huang is currently in the hospital, so he asked the driver to go back and call him when he needs a car.
The room has everything you need, including a telephone, TV, desk, and a large sofa. Sun Dahai secretly smacked his lips, how luxurious it is. When he and Mr. Huang were transferred to the ward yesterday, they were only sent to the door of the ward without coming in. Today is the first time he saw Gao
Do it like a ward.
Entering the bedroom, Sun Dahai introduced Mr. Huang, who was having an infusion and reading a newspaper: "Grandpa, I'm here. This is my sister Sun Yuanyuan."
Sun Yuanyuan also said to Mr. Huang very well, "Hello, grandpa."
Seeing Sun Yuanyuan, Mr. Huang was indeed happy. He put down the newspaper, took off his reading glasses, and said to Sun Yuanyuan: "My child, come and sit. I have heard your brother talk about you many times, and I finally saw you today. The kindergarten is open
It’s fake, right?”
"Yes, Grandpa. The kindergarten is too bad. They always lock me up and don't allow me to go home. However, the aunt in the kindergarten is very kind to us. She teaches us singing, dancing and playing games."
"Yuanyuan, what song can you sing? Sing one for grandpa."
"Okay." Sun Yuanyuan didn't have stage fright. She pretended to cough, cleared her throat, and then started singing:
