Su A'nai heard the sound and came out, and said warmly: "You're back? Your mother and the others have gone up the mountain. You go and have a rest while I cook. It's almost noon."

"I'll do it. Grandma, help me light the fire." Su Ziling put down the things and walked to the kitchen with Su Grandma.

Su Zizhong took two baskets to pick up Su's mother and the others, while Su's father worked with a few old men to raise the courtyard wall.

If you ask for help, you can't eat cornmeal. You have to make something dry. She took a pot of sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, scooped out two bowls of old rice, added cornmeal, and steamed corn, sweet potato, and old rice rice.

The dishes were quite well prepared, including a cold fairy tofu, a radish bone soup, and a large bowl of spicy and sour sausage.

The sausage has already been blanched, so you can fry it directly. Put oil in the pot, stir-fry the onions, ginger, garlic, and pepper until fragrant. Add the sausage and stir-fry. Finally, add some pickled peppers and pickles soaked in sumac, and start adding water. cook.

Considering that Mr. Su and the others were already old, they cooked the fat sausage Su Ziling for a while longer, trying to cook it as thinly as possible, and finally added some chopped green onion and it was ready to serve.

The two dishes and one soup looked a little short, so she took out some pickles and fried some lean meat.

I haven't eaten the lean meat I bought yesterday, but it kept falling into the well. I thought I had guests at home, so I cut some more and fried it.

Fried meat with pickled vegetables, sour and spicy, is the best to go with rice. Its smell is so overbearing that you can smell it from a distance.

When the food was ready, Mother Su warmed the food in the pot before they came back.

Mr. Su and the others are making very fast progress. They have already added half of the work, and they estimate that they can finish it all before dark.

The girl was holding a peeled sweet potato in her hand. She leaned against the door and ate it "click, click".

"Grandpa, someone bought too much tofu today and bought the bucket together. We don't seem to have enough buckets tomorrow."

Mr. Su made a move and said, "Are all the barrels sold?"

The girl nodded innocently, "Yes."

"How much did you sell a pair for?"

"Forty cents." She replied honestly, "I don't know what the price is. I just thought that the wooden basin was ten cents a piece, and the wooden barrel was almost twenty cents a piece. Grandpa, isn't it cheap?"

The third uncle turned to her and gave her a thumbs up, "My niece knows how to do business. We bought these barrels for thirty cents per pair. You made a profit, you definitely made a profit."

Mr. Su: "Sell it if you want. I'll make a few more tomorrow."

"Are you waiting to use it?" asked the fourth uncle.

Su Ziling nodded, "Well, it's urgent. There won't be enough barrels tomorrow. It's not easy to go out to the mountains. It won't be worth it if you don't bring enough."

Fourth uncle: "You can ask your eldest brother to come to my house to get it. I have several pairs at home but I don't need them."

The third uncle also laughed and said: "If your fourth uncle's house is not enough, then come to my house and use my house."

"Okay, since the two uncles have spoken out, I won't be polite." Su Ziling smiled.

"You can lend me the bucket, but you have to let us try the tofu you made, right?"

"Hahahahahaha, that's right. I heard some people in the village murmuring that your tofu is different from ordinary tofu. We haven't tasted it yet."

The two uncles joked.

Su's father apologized, "My nephew didn't think it through well. I thought of giving you some to try. The fields are also busy here, and several children have to sell tofu. I was so busy that I was exhausted. All of a sudden, I was worried. Forgot."

While they were talking, Su's mother and the others came back. There were bodywort leaves at the bottom, but they were all covered with a thin layer of chicken grass or wild vegetables.

The two uncles glanced at each other and then looked away. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of words: Unexpectedly, the boss's life has been so difficult now.

Those people in the village were right, they had already begun to eat chicken grass, and this time there were still so many at once.

Both of them made up their minds to send some sweet potatoes and corn to their family when they return to spend this time first.

Seeing them coming back, Su Ziling filled her hands with water and said, "Grandpa, come down and wash your hands and eat!"

After the old man finished the little work in his hand, he said to his two younger brothers: "Let's go eat and come back to work after eating. It seems that we can finish the work today."

The two old men didn't shirk, they clapped their hands and jumped down from the height, "Brother, why did you suddenly think of raising the yard?"

"Xiaoqing has started making tofu, right? The old man next door came and knocked on the door today. I saw that the wall is a bit short, so I'd better add some insurance."

"No wonder the people who have been criticizing mulberry trees and locust trees in the yard today are all because of this?" Third Uncle laughed angrily.

There was no room for more than a dozen people to sit at one table, so Su Ziling set two tables so that they could just sit at the children's table. All the dishes were divided into two portions.

As soon as the two uncles came in, their eyes widened in shock when they saw the dishes on the table. A large bowl of fat intestines, a bowl of radish bone soup, a bowl of green tofu, and lean meat stir-fried with pickled vegetables.

The smell of meat was in the air, and the two old men swallowed their saliva. Although their family's life was a little better than that of the old Su family, it was only a little better.

They haven't eaten this meat for a long time.

Thinking of the chicken grass and wild vegetables they just saw, they felt that Mr. Su had emptied his family's fortune.

They looked at Mr. Su, "Brother, why do you have so many troubles? Just deal with two people."

"Yeah, you...it's bone soup, meat, and large intestines. What kind of family can withstand what you do? What's more, it's dry rice and a bowl of corn mush. Are you planning to make us Once you’ve made a meal, your family won’t eat it from now on, right?”

Su Ziling paused while scooping the rice, "Uncle, you can eat with confidence. These sausages are not expensive. I went to the county to buy them yesterday. This pair of sausages and pig belly only cost 8 cents in total. You can eat several meals." .”

"You can't bear to eat like this even if it's not expensive. You have a large intestine, so you don't need to cook the meat. We are all our own, so we can just deal with two people. There are no outsiders." The third uncle looked distressed.

"Okay, okay, the kids have finished cooking. Hurry up and eat!" Mr. Su also took out the rice wine that he had treasured for a long time. The three brothers each took two sips, sipped them, and said they were very satisfying.

"Is this your home-made tofu?"

"Yes, how is it? Is it to your liking?" Mr. Su raised his eyebrows.

"It's really good. This stuff can be sold in the nearby villages and it's probably delicious!" The two uncles nodded in unison after tasting it.

"This is the first time I've eaten this large intestine like this. I didn't expect it to be any worse than meat!"

"That's because Qing Yatou did a good job. Last year I went to Lao Liu's house to help, and they also did it, tusk!" After the third uncle finished speaking, he shook his head, and the soft "tsk" said everything.

"How's it going?"

"What else can I do? It smells like pork. I guess I haven't washed it thoroughly."

"Their family is used to saving money."

"I won't mention it, I won't mention it, but this tofu is really good. Do you have any more? I'll bring some back for them to try later."

Su Ziling: "Yes, it's all prepared for you. You can eat it when you get back."
