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

Babaoliang Village. The Zhou family!

It was almost 06:30 when Zhou Yang returned home from the brigade.

Just now, with the cooperation of Cui Jinjin, Liu Lu and others, Zhou Yang finalized the list of educated youths seconded to the printing factory.

There are a total of 108 people, all of whom are educated youths who do not have any fixed positions, but have also studied.

After telling them to gather at the brigade headquarters tomorrow morning and waiting for him to pick them up, Zhou Yang brought Chen Beixuan and Liu Yunlong back home.

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhou Yang found that the house was noisy. After opening the door and entering, he found that the child soldiers from the old house were there.

The children were very happy while watching TV in the house while playing with the gifts that their aunt and uncle brought back from the capital.

The gifts were carefully selected by Li Youwei. Each child had five homework books, a pencil case, five pencils, a pencil sharpener and an eraser.

In addition, Li Youwei also bought several sets of comic books and bouncing balls for the children.

Although it didn't cost much, it made the children very happy.

Seeing Zhou Yang coming in, Hu Zi immediately took the lead to say hello, "Uncle, are you back?"

"Well, I'm back, where's your aunt?"

Before Huzi could answer, Bao'er rushed to say, "Mom and Aunt Rufeng went to grandma's house!"

"When did you go?"

"It's been a while!" Bao'er said.

"Oh, then you guys play first!"

Then Zhou Yang said to Hu Zi: "You don't have to go home to eat at night, you can eat at aunt's house, uncle will cook delicious food for you!"

Hearing this, the children all cried out happily!

Everyone knows that the food that my uncle cooks is delicious, because my uncle is willing to use things when cooking.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang came to the kitchen of the main room and began to prepare dinner.

As soon as he came to the pot, Zhou Yang saw a pot of yam eggs that had been peeled and soaked in the water basin, in addition to a small half pot of pickled sauerkraut and a piece of frozen pork the size of a fist.

Looking at these ingredients, Zhou Yang knew that Li Youwei was going to make a big stew.

In fact, it's not just the Zhou family that's like this, everyone is the same in this season, and the food they eat is relatively monotonous.

Families with good conditions can only eat steamed buns with stewed vegetables, and those who are close to it can only eat porridge.

In view of this, Zhou Yang decided to eat something different.

He plans to make an iron pot stew for his family!

As a famous dish in Northeast China, iron pot stew is not only a dish, but also a cooking method with local characteristics.

This kind of dish originated from the period of entering the Guandong, and the people who came to the Northeast and the local people in the Northeast made dishes in the form of random stewing.

The biggest feature is the stove, large iron pot and wood firewood. It can be stewed chicken, goose, fish, ribs, beef, and big bone sticks.

It doesn't feel like eating this kind of dish with few people, but if there are many people in the family, it will be lively.

There is no chicken or fish in the house, but there is pork and pig bones.

Knowing that he is good at this, when the pigs are slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, the villagers specially distribute hundreds of catties of pig bones to him.

Except for taking back a lot for parents, the rest are all kept in the cool room.

Anyway, the temperature here is low, and generally speaking, it can be left in late March and early April without worrying about it being damaged.

As soon as he said it, Zhou Yang took a big iron basin to the cold room to get some pork bones, a large piece of meat, and a lot of vermicelli.

After washing the meat and bones, Zhou Yang simply blanched the bones in water, removed the foam and took out the bones for later use. The soup was also scooped into a large basin for later use.

After cutting the meat, heat the oil directly in the pan.

The milky white lard gradually melts in the large iron pan, and when the oil heats up a bit, the sliced ​​meat and pork bones are directly put in and stir-fried.

When the meat slices turn slightly yellow and the bones change color, you can add seasonings such as soy sauce, salt, pepper, etc., then pour the bone broth and simmer over low heat.

While the bones were being stewed, Zhou Yang scooped up half a pot of sauerkraut from the pickle urn.

Although Li Youwei prepared some sauerkraut, it was obviously not enough for so many people. After all, there are many baby soldiers in the family today.

Don't look like they are all children, but the appetite is not small.

Wash the sauerkraut several times with clean water to get rid of the dead sour smell in the sauerkraut, then shred it immediately.

Then, add to the pot along with the potatoes and let it simmer with the meat and bones.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang started kneading noodles and preparing to make pot stickers.

Mix white flour and cornmeal in proportion, add water, knead into a ball and put it in a basin to wake up.

When the meat and bones are almost cooked, and the noodles are almost proofed, you can make pot stickers.

Due to the large number of people in the family, Zhou Yang not only put two circles of pot stickers on the side of the pot, but also directly covered the pot with a big "face quilt".

As soon as Zhou Yang put the pot stickers in the pot, a woman's conversation came from outside.

Then I saw Li Youwei and Huang Rufeng pushing the door and approaching together!

As soon as she entered the room, Li Youwei said in surprise: "It smells so good, what's delicious in the pot?"

"Guess?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"I smell the smell of meat, have you stewed meat?"

"Well, I made a pot of iron pot stew for everyone!"

"Iron pot stew, what kind of dish is it? Why haven't I heard of it?" Li Youwei asked in surprise.

Without waiting for Zhou Yang to speak, Huang Rufeng, who came in together, said, "Iron pot stew is from our Northeast Nagada. I didn't expect the chief to cook Northeast dishes!"

"Hehe, didn't you go to the Northeast some time ago? After eating a few times, I asked the chef to inquire about the recipe. I just made it for you to try today." Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Then we are lucky today!"

"Well, I guarantee you delicious food!"

Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and asked again: "By the way, why are you going to the old house so late? Is there something wrong?"

"At that time, I heard Huzi say that my father came back from the commune today, so I thought about returning the money my father and mother gave us, and then sending them some snacks brought back from the capital!" Li Youwei said.

"I guess Mom and Dad must have asked you to get the money back again!"

Zhou Yang understood the temperament of the old man and mother-in-law very well, especially the old man, once a decision is made, it is difficult to change it!

Li Youwei sighed and said: "I really made you guess right, father and mother said that they gave us the money, and we want it if we don't want it!"

"Then keep it for them first, and give it to them later when they need it!" Zhou Yang said.

"it is good!"

Then Li Youwei said again: "When I passed by just now, the second brother and the second sister-in-law also came back!"

"Oh, aren't they busy these days?"

"No, it was dad who asked them to ask for leave and come back!"

"What's the matter, why do you still have to ask for leave?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.

"It's not going to be spring soon. Dad asked the brothers to come back to discuss the matter of building a new house. What Dad means is to let the four brothers build a brick house and move out!"

Then I heard Li Youwei say: "But what I heard from the second sister-in-law is that she doesn't want to build a house in the village. He and the second brother want to buy a yard in the county!"

Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "Second brother and second sister-in-law may indeed settle in the county town in the future, and it is also appropriate to buy a yard in the city!"

"By the way, when I left, Dad asked me to come back and tell you that he won't go to the commune tomorrow. If you have time, you can go to the old house!" Li Youwei said again.

"Row..."

Just as he was talking, it was almost time for Zhou Yang to see the post on the steamer, and immediately said: "The rice is almost done, hurry up and set up the dishes and chopsticks to serve!"

"it is good!"

Then I heard Li Youwei yelling to the child soldiers in the room: "Children, pack up the things on the kang and prepare to eat!"

"Wen Hui, go to the wing room and ask your grandpa Zhang to come up for dinner!"

"it is good..."
