Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

In the end, they all left holding their stomachs on their hands. When they left, Hu Xin and others also packed up the meat and vegetables that were not grilled today and took them back.

The institute has only one day off on New Year's Day. Except for Yu Jiang and Lu Nanchi, none of them went home, so a few people who didn't enjoy the food today decided to bake it again tomorrow on New Year's Day!

The five people who needed to go back to Fenghe Village were pushing three bicycles on the way back to the village. It was obvious that they could go home faster by riding a bicycle, but none of them wanted to ride a bicycle.

Nonsense, after eating so much, riding a bicycle at this time must not make your stomach feel uncomfortable!

The group of people walked like this for most of the journey, and they didn't ride home until their stomachs no longer felt so full.

He Zhixing rode He Zhile in his car. Zhang Tong and Lu Nanchi had also bought bicycles a long time ago, but they did not use the bicycle tickets given by Yu Jiang. After Nanchi entered the institute, he also got a bicycle ticket. So they kept the one given by Yu Jiang.

As educated youth, having a bicycle at home is enough to make them enviable. If you get another car, even if the money and tickets come from normal sources and you are not afraid of being checked, it will still cause some unnecessary distortions.

And Yu Jiang was also happy to ride a bicycle by himself. But in fact, it was not much easier for her to ride a bicycle than the two people driving people. In the back seat of her car, in addition to the things she brought home, there were also some of the things He Zhixing brought home.

After returning home, Mother Yu and Grandma Yu came to help Yu Jiang unload the things from the back seat.

Suddenly, Grandma Yu exclaimed: "Ouch! Nannan, what did you bring back?"

Yu Jiang and Mother Yu followed the sound, and then they saw Grandma Yu taking a pot out of the basket on her back.

Mother Yu looked at this thing that looked like a pot but was separated in the middle, and she was not very sure: "Is this a pot?"

"Yes." Yu Jiang stepped forward and took the pot from Grandma Yu's hand.

"Mom, have you ever heard of hot pot?"

Of course Yu's mother knew about the hot pot, and she had eaten it before with Yu's father when they were in Beijing, but later she and Yu's father returned to Fenghe Village together...

In the current situation, I am afraid that those stores in the past are no longer there, and I don’t know if they will still be able to eat in the future...

Why? Why does the shape of the pot in her daughter's hand look so familiar?

"You want to make hot pot at home?" After Yu's mother asked, she didn't believe her own idea.

How could my daughter, a killer in the kitchen, know how to cook hot pot?

You must know that the reason why hot pot is delicious is entirely due to the secret hot pot base ingredients. Otherwise, it would be too much food to cook with good vegetables and meat. It is better to just boil it in plain water and eat it!

Yu Jiang said calmly: "I don't know how, but can you and my grandma do it?"

Yu's mother was about to say that she didn't know how to do it either, but something suddenly occurred to her and she asked Yu Jiang, "What did you do?"

Yu Jiang did not directly answer Yu Mu's words, but took out two more things from his backpack.

"Well, I bought the book on how to make hot pot base and all the necessary seasonings! Mom, you and my grandma will study it later, and we'll make this!"

When Yu's mother heard this, she packed her bags a little faster.

When Grandma Yu saw this, although she didn't know what hot pot was, she was inexplicably looking forward to it.

The three of them stood in front of a pile of things. Yu Jiang gave the book to Yu's mother.

"This is a book I accidentally found at the scrapyard. It contains a lot of delicious recipes. I thought this hot pot was very good and suitable for New Year's Day, so I went to the city to buy some ingredients."

Before Mother Yu and Grandma Yu could read the book carefully, Yu Jiang began to take out the ingredients in the basket.

"Needless to say, these pork and beef, this!" Yu Jiang took out a big, black thing as if showing off.

Grandma Yu took a look and said, "Isn't this the stomach of a cow? This thing is inedible and it's still buried. Why did you kid buy this thing back?"

Yu Jiang smiled mysteriously at Grandma Yu: "Grandma, don't you know this? Although this thing is difficult to clean, once you put it in a hot pot, it can instantly become a delicious dish."

"Besides, I didn't spend any money! Because I bought a lot of things, the supply and marketing cooperative gave them to me directly."

Yu Jiang didn't wait for Grandma Yu to recover from the shock, and continued to add: "Not only this, there are also those internal organs and other things, which are all given by people from the supply and marketing cooperative."

After hearing this, Grandma Yu patted her heart and tried to calm down, "Oh my God, this is the first time the supply and marketing cooperative has sent something!"

Upon seeing this, Mother Yu gave her daughter a slightly reproachful look, and stepped forward to help Grandma Yu carry her back: "Mom, don't listen to this girl. People don't think she bought a lot, so she was taken advantage of, so she took these things they didn't want. Give it to her as a favor."

After hearing this explanation, Grandma Yu was not so shocked. She was just a little distressed. Is her girl a bit too spendthrift?

Forget it, my girl has great ideas and abilities. She doesn't need to be an old woman to worry about young people like them. She just waits for them to do well and honor her!

After Yu Jiang briefly introduced the other ingredients, Yu's mother eagerly opened the recipe book.

The more Yu Jiang looked at it, the more surprised she was. This cookbook introduced a lot of good things. Not to mention that Yu Jiang had to buy ingredients and come back to cook them. She wanted to try some of them after reading them.

Let’s look at today’s focus, the hot pot base.

Good guy, there are actually several kinds of hot pot bases, such as spicy pot, tomato pot, seafood pot, you name it!

No wonder there is a partition on the pot that divides the pot into two parts! Love is about eating different flavors at the same time!

Mother Yu immediately explained it to Grandma Yu, and then the number of excited people changed from one to two. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't care about saying that Yu Jiang had lost his family, and went to the kitchen with the spices that Yu Jiang brought back.

Before entering the kitchen, Yu's mother asked Yu Jiang to dispose of the cow stomach she brought back.

Yu Jiang felt that her mother was retaliating for the fact that the pot she brought back scared Grandma Yu, but she had no evidence and did not dare to resist, so she had to deal with the trouble she brought home.

But even if Yu Jiang disposed of the cow's stomach today, she still wouldn't have hot pot to eat.

Mother Yu and Grandma Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the kitchen and suddenly realized that there was an old hen burning in the pot! I was so excited about watching it that I forgot about it...

Well, eating hot pot can only be left until tomorrow.

For a moment, Grandma Yu, who had lost her goal, left Mother Yu in the kitchen watching the fire. After she went to clean up the ingredients that Yu Jiang brought back, she went to help Kuhaha clean up the cow's stomach and process them together with Yu Jiang.

But even if there was no hot pot today, the last dinner of the year for the Yu family was very enjoyable, except for Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu who occasionally complained about their grandson who was in the army and could not go home.

But they also know that their grandson is working hard for the whole country, and their family members can only endure the sadness of not being able to see each other all the time, and silently support and bless them behind the scenes.

After the meal, Yu Jiang was sent by Yu's mother to He's house and Zhang Tong's house to say hello, and they would all come to Yu's house for hot pot tomorrow!
