Rebirth to 80s: Daughter-in-law is a Bit Spicy

Chapter 18: : Sour radish and pork dumplings

Anqing County is a place where the north and the south border, so eating habits are naturally also affected by the north and the south.

There are many people who eat rice, but everyone also eats noodles. The planting area of wheat is only a little less than that of rice. Wheat is also a must when paying public food every year. The flour that people in the countryside eat is all self-grinding. When making steamed buns and dumplings, the color is not as good as those made by rich flour, let alone refined white flour.

The taste is not as delicate as the rich and strong powder, but the original aroma of wheat is stronger.

Aunt Xia Xiaolan soaked kimchi well.

Red-skinned and white-hearted carrots are the main ingredients. There is salt and brown sugar in the kimchi water. Li Fengmei will also add red pepper. The sweet and sour radishes are slightly spicy and very appetizing. Used to match with meat, it will make your mouth water when you think of it.

The meeting was Liu Fen's job, and Xia Xiaolan took over the stuffing. For this reason, she also got up an hour early, washed and chopped in the kitchen, and wrapped two catties of dumplings with stuffing. There is only so much meat at home, Xia Xiaolan filled two enamel jars full of dumplings, and only ate a few by herself, and the rest was kept for Taotao, who had not gotten up.

She was kind of embarrassed:

"I'll buy more meat when I come back today."

Meat is quite expensive, but one catty a day is not unaffordable.

Xia Xiaolan knew that money was saved, but she couldn't make money without spending it at all. She can avoid looking at those good clothes, buying face cream, keeping her personal supplies simple, but she can't make her family feel full.

Li Fengmei drove her away, "Your uncle is ready and waiting for you at the door. Let's go quickly. Where do you want you to buy meat? Yesterday, I asked the butcher to save half of the liver. You and your uncle will come back early."

Liu Yong's rice harvest is almost finished, and today I have to ask others for help. Li Fengmei will definitely cook a few dishes tonight.

Liu Yong had already packed the eggs and waited for her while pushing the bicycle.

"You sit in the back seat with your back facing me, and be careful not to smash the eggs in the baskets on both sides. Your mother felt distressed while cleaning up the broken eggs last night."

How can we not feel bad when dozens of eggs are broken?

These eggs are not wild duck eggs picked up for nothing, they are all collected for money. Xia Xiaolan also worked hard to travel to the hometown, saying that in the 1980s, there were opportunities everywhere, but no matter how good the money was, he would have to work hard and hard.

Xia Xiaolan held two enamel cylinders in her arms and sat firmly in the back seat.

Liu Yong laughed, "I didn't eat a few dumplings in the morning, right? Forbearance, my uncle in Anqing County will ask you to eat well!"

Xia Xiaolan thought to herself, Liu Yong ran to the county seat, in addition to inquiring about the news, most of them would like to solemnly thank Cheng and Kang Wei next week. No matter when, the way of expressing gratitude is inevitably a treat for dinner. Its just that Liu Yongs meal can no longer be a simple bowl of noodle soup.

She hadn't paid her uncle's capital yet, and she wanted him to spend money, Xia Xiaolan felt strange.

"Uncle, you are so kind to me."

He is small, but to Xia Xiaolan, he is more like a "father" than the tall Xia Dajun.

Liu Yong stared at the bicycle, thinking that this girl was talking stupid again.

He loves Xia Xiaolan just like he loves his son Taotao. They are both children of the old Liu family. Can he not hurt it?

If he wakes up a few years earlier, he will be able to live a carefree life for the family right now, how can Xia Xiaolan earn the hard money of reselling eggs!

Liu Yong rode for half of the road, watching from a distance there was someone waiting on the side of the road, and he was suddenly alert. Its not going to dawn. Which kid is so idle, shouldnt he be the accomplice of yesterdays rogue, waiting for trouble with his niece on the only way? !

"Xiaolan, look at the person in front, do you know him?"

Xia Xiaolan twisted her neck to look. In the morning sun, that iconic little flat head with an unforgettable look, who else besides Zhou Cheng?

"It's Big Brother Zhou Cheng, he and another comrade saved me yesterday!"

Liu Yong quickly braked, and Xia Xiaolan jumped from the back seat:

"Big Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

The morning dew wets Zhou Cheng's shoulders. I don't know how long he has been waiting here. Anyway, there are seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.

When Zhou Cheng saw Xia Xiaolan, he threw half of the cigarette in his hand and stepped on two feet on the ground:

"Didn't I tell you to go out later?"

He looked at Liu Yong again, and Xia Xiaolan hurriedly introduced: "This is my uncle, and he said to come and thank you both. Uncle, this is Big Brother Zhou Cheng."

Zhou Cheng was a little at a loss.

Xia Xiaolan was fair and tall, but Liu Yong was short and dark. It was really not like her uncle. Zhou Cheng was not mentally prepared to see his parents so soon, but he was originally an unruly casual person, with a mouth open, he followed Xia Xiaolan's address:

"Uncle, this is Zhou Cheng."

The young man looks decent.

It must be one and eighty-five meters tall. He was a little silly, but he straightened his back and looked really energetic.

Just talking to him, Liu Yong had to raise his head, weirdly tired.

Liu Yong looked enthusiastic, "Comrade Zhou Cheng, thank you so much. I said at home how I would also bring Xiaolan to thank you two. This girl doesn't know how serious it is, and the life-saving grace will be solved by eating a bowl of noodles? What about another Comrade Kang Wei?"

Didn't sleep in the morning and waited for Xiaolan halfway?

Liu Yong smiled on his face, a bowl of noodles could not offset his life-saving grace, nor could he compensate his niece.

Liu Yong is just an uncle, but if he can stand for Xia Xiaolan, the relationship between his uncle and nephew must be very good, and Zhou Cheng did not neglect:

"We stayed at the guest house in Anqing County last night, with a truck of goods, and I let Kang Wei guard it. I heard Xiaolan say that we will enter the city today. I'm afraid that the gangsters yesterday had accomplices, so I waited for her on the road. ."

Liu Yong nodded.

"Walk around, let's talk about it in the first city."

Zhou Cheng had come to pick up Xia Xiaolan on purpose. Liu Yong was not in his consideration, but now that Liu Yong is there, he is about to talk to his "uncle" in a serious manner. He took the bicycle with eggs from Liu Yong and pushed it slowly, trying to keep himself from peeking at Xia Xiaolan.

When he walked to the county seat, Zhou Cheng also knew about Xia Xiaolan's situation.

Knowing that she and her mother are temporarily living with her uncles house, she only started reselling eggs a few days ago. Because of the busy farming, the family cant separate the other staff. Xia Xiaolan is all alone, and she met the gangster yesterdayZhou Cheng frowned. She wrinkled, she was charming and charming, and went to the village to collect eggs. Didn't she send herself to danger?

When he arrived at the guest house, Kang Wei was already eager to see.

His eyes lit up when he saw Xia Xiaolan, but when he looked at Zhou Cheng who was silent, Kang Wei was a little slouched.

Xia Xiaolan handed Kang Wei the sour radish pork dumplings and introduced her uncle. Kang Wei didn't even think about it, and then called "uncle".

Zhou Cheng gave a light cough, "What nonsense, you have to call Uncle Liu."

Liu Yong said nothing.

He understood that Zhou Cheng's wolfish ambition didn't want to hide it at all!
