Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

After seeing off Wang Ping and others, it was almost 06:30!

At this time U Rina also came back from school, and was helping Li Youwei take care of the two little guys who had woken up in the next room, while Li Youwei was still busy in the kitchen!

When Zhou Yang returned to the house, he saw Li Youwei was washing the pot, and there was half a pot of oat noodles beside him, and he didn't know what to do!

Zhou Yang came to the pot and asked, "Where's mother?"

"gone back!"

"Why don't you leave after eating?"

"Mother has to go back and cook for my brothers and sisters-in-law, but after a while, mother will come over and pickle pickles for us!" Li Youwei said.

Zhou Yang sniffled, then looked at the big vat in the corner and said, "Hey, I smell pickled vegetables, where did it come from?"

Li Youwei smiled and said: "I've already marinated in one jar, and there are still a lot left, I plan to marinate in another jar!"

"Can you eat so much pickle?"

"If you don't pickle it, you won't be able to keep it, and it will go bad in a few days, what a pity!"

Zhou Yang didn't dwell on this issue, but looked at Li Youwei and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"Stir some cake!"

Then she explained: "I didn't expect you to come back today. There is not enough food tonight, so I thought about stirring some cakes!"

Hearing that his daughter-in-law was making cakes, Zhou Yang couldn't help swallowing.

Nagao, the most distinctive local food, is made of oat noodles, which is rarely seen outside the nearby counties.

Although this kind of food has cake in its name, it is not a pastry, but a lumpy food made of oat noodles.

The way to eat is also relatively simple, that is, shred radishes, cucumbers and other vegetables, chop coriander, pour vinegar and soy sauce, add water and salt, add a few drops of sesame oil fried with peppercorns, and make a vegetable soup. .

If there are no fresh vegetables, pickled vegetables can be served with pickled vegetable soup, as the locals say: take cake cold pickled soup.

Although Zhou Yang doesn't like to eat noodles, he likes to eat cakes.

Especially in summer and autumn, when the weather is hot and scorching, eating a bowl of cold marinated soup mixed with cakes is also a kind of enjoyment.

"You light the fire, let me do it!"

Zhou Yang learned how to stir cakes from his mother-in-law, and he has already learned the essence.

Li Youwei knew that Zhou Yang's craftsmanship was better than her own, so she immediately abdicated and gave up the position of chef to Zhou Yang, while she was demoted to firework.

The cake is delicious, but it is not easy to make.

Stirring the cake is a technical task, and if one is not careful, it may burn the pot. Once the cake is burnt, the taste will be hard to describe.

Zhou Yang first boiled half a pot of water, kept half of the water after boiling, and scooped out the rest for later use.

Then use cold water to sprinkle the tumbling water in the pot, hold the special noodle stirrer in the right hand, and grab the noodles from the noodle basin that has been prepared on the pot table with the left hand.

The left hand sprinkles the noodles clockwise into the pot, and the right hand uses the noodle stick to stir the noodles clockwise in the pot. The two hands cooperate tacitly and the movements are coordinated.

After a while, a piece of hard dough appeared in the cauldron, and "taking cake" had begun to take shape.

But this is not edible!

Then Zhou Yang used a shovel to make a few cuts on the dough, poured one-third of the boiling water in the ladle on the pot table on the dough, covered the pot, and boiled for 2-3 minutes over a warm fire.

Then uncover the pot and continue to stir in the pot with a noodle stick until all the water poured on the dough is mixed into the dough before stopping.

Then use a shovel to scratch the surface, pour boiling water, and cook the dough...

This way of cutting noodles-mixing water-cooking noodles-stirring noodles, repeated three times, and the work is done.

At this time, a soft, chewy, smooth and delicious "three-mixed water cake" appeared in the iron pot.

After taking the cake out of the pan, you have to adjust the soup.

There were no cucumbers, radishes, etc., so Zhou Yang scooped some cold pickled soup from the jar, cut up some freshly delivered pickled cabbage, poured it with chili oil, and the aroma immediately rose.

Immediately, Zhou Yang invited the rest of the family to eat!

The dinner was a little messy, besides the cake that was just stirred, there was also a small pot of millet porridge and a dozen or so steamed buns with a yellowish and dark color.

In addition, there is a big bowl of stew and a plate of pickles!

Obviously, the steamed buns and braised vegetables are leftovers from lunch.

This is also a feature of local people’s eating. They cook a little more when cooking at noon, cook some porridge at night, and heat up the leftover meals at noon to make up for a meal.

I don't know if the food at home was smooth, but Zhou Yang's appetite was surprisingly good today. He ate a big bowl of cold salad and cakes, also ate a big steamed bun and drank a big bowl of millet porridge.

Li Youwei was taken aback by his appetite, thinking that he had been abused outside, so she couldn't help asking a few more questions.

Liu Yunlong, who was watching, couldn't help but snickered!

He knew how good the food was at the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory.

Although it is not considered delicacies from mountains and seas, it is still full of meat, and it will not be repeated for a week.

However, facing the carefully prepared food over there, Zhou Yang's reaction was very ordinary. On the contrary, Liu Yunlong and others had finished eating.

........

Zhou Yang and the others had just finished their meal, and before the dishes and chopsticks were cleared away, they heard another movement outside the gate.

Soon, the mother-in-law came in with her sister-in-law Lin Aizhi.

The sister-in-law was still holding a black jar in her hand, and she didn't know what was in it.

"Mother, sister-in-law, you are here, hurry up and sit on the kang!" Zhou Yang greeted immediately.

"No, hurry up and pickle the vegetables for you, and I have to go back to pickle the vegetables at the old house later!" Mother-in-law said.

"That's fine, I'll help you!"

"Row!"

Then, under the command of the mother-in-law, the whole family was busy pickling pickles.

Although eating pickled vegetables all the year round is not good for your health, for the local people, their life is inseparable from pickled vegetables.

No way, the main reason is poverty.

In addition, the winter weather in northern Saibei is cold, which is not conducive to the growth of vegetables. After the first frost, almost no green leafy vegetables can be seen.

Because the materials are not abundant, every family can only rely on winter vegetables and pickled vegetables to survive the winter.

Pickled vegetables are particularly skillful. Take the most common mustard greens as an example. If this stuff is pickled, it will be crispy and tender. Cut into thin shreds and mixed with vinegar, it is very delicious.

But if it is not marinated well, it will become powdery and dry, and no one will eat it.

Because the skills are very strong and experience is very important, Zhou Yang has to invite his mother-in-law to help pickle vegetables at home every year.

My mother-in-law has a lot of experience in pickling vegetables. I saw her skillfully put the piles of mustard greens, radishes, and Chinese cabbage that she washed in the afternoon into the big tank, and asked the sister-in-law to sprinkle a few handfuls of salt into it after putting a layer.

At this moment, Zhou Yang finally saw clearly that the jar wrapped in sister-in-law's hand turned out to be salty salt, and it was local large-grained salt, which was mainly used for pickling vegetables.

After working for an hour or so, I finally marinated hundreds of catties of vegetables in the big vat.

In the end, the mother-in-law put a large stone weighing more than ten kilograms prepared in advance into the pickle jar, and the Zhou family's pickles were finally pickled.

After seeing off their mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Fan Debiao and U Rina also returned to the East Room, while Liu Yunlong took Wen Hui to the West Room.

Soon, only Zhou Yang's family was left in the main room.

Zhou Yang finally got some free time, so he can take a good look at his two sons!

The two little guys are now five months old, they are white and fat, and their skin is pink and tender.

In addition, the two children are almost exactly the same, which looks very interesting and at the same time has a special sense of accomplishment.

Since we haven't seen each other for nearly two months, Zhou Yang obviously can't tell which one is Big Treasure and which one is Little Treasure.

Fortunately, the shapes of the birthmarks of the two children are different, so you can tell by turning over and looking at them.

These two little guys slept until after six o'clock in the afternoon and woke up very energetic now.

Seeing their father looking at them, they all stretched out their small hands to grab Zhou Yang, babbling non-stop at the same time, not knowing what to express.

Zhou Yang hugged Dabao, teased him, and gently stroked his little face.

However, Little Treasure on the side seemed unhappy, he flattened his mouth, and slowly "hummed".

As soon as he heard the movement, Zhou Yang knew that this was the prelude to the approaching storm.

Immediately, he hurriedly hugged Xiao Bao up.

The little guy suddenly felt weightless for a while, and the next moment he found himself being hugged like his brother.

The original expression of protest turned into a smiling face in an instant, and with the "golden beans" whose eyes have not slipped, it looks very cute.

In the dead of night, after tossing and tossing for three or four hours, the couple finally put their daughter to sleep and their son.

When all three children fell asleep, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, they looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became ambiguous.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them slowly moved towards each other's position as if they were being pulled by something.

Finally, the thunder from the sky stirred the fire on the ground...
