Just when Lu Miaozhu was panicking.

Su Bai opened his mouth and explained:

"I got up early this morning and picked a nylon bag of mugwort and some wild vegetables, and sold them in the county town."

"Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. Mugwort is very popular. I sold it for 60 cents per catty. I also sold other wild vegetables for a total of 23.4 yuan."

"I bought these things, including the pork, for a total of 12.7 yuan, and I still have 10.70 cents left."

Su Bai smiled at Lu Miaozhu and took out a small handkerchief.

The bulging things inside are all scattered small coins.

He put his hands forward and said to Lu Miaozhu:

"It's all here."

Lu Miaozhu was stunned for a moment.

She did know that Su Bai went out early this morning.

However, she thought he was out fooling around.

I never thought that he was out to make money?

Lu Miaozhu's heart was extremely complicated, and she subconsciously couldn't believe it.

Can a person really turn around overnight after being dead for twenty years?

Su Bai pursed her lips, glanced at her, and smiled.

At this moment, he had taken out everything neatly.

Now it's not like the funeral, there are no plastic bags, everything is wrapped in oil paper.

The bottom piece of oil paper contains three pancakes.

Oily, stuffed with shredded radish, a dime each.

"You and Tangtang and Guoguo have some pancakes to cushion your stomach first, and I'll go cook."

Su Bai said, handing two shredded radish pancakes to Tangtang and Guoguo, who were looking at him eagerly.

The two little guys were very happy.

Coquettishly, she happily took it and opened her mouth with a milky sound.

"Thank you daddy~"

"Guoguo, I like to eat pancakes~"

Su Bai lovingly rubbed the heads of the two little guys.

Then, he stretched out his hand, picked up the last pancake and handed it to Lu Miaozhu.

The latter was in a daze at the moment.

He took it subconsciously.

Su Bai picked up the lean meat and fat meat strung with hemp rope and walked towards the kitchen.

…………

After being reborn, Su Bai decided to change his diet to three meals a day in future generations.

Not that this habit is so good.

Instead, Su Bai simply wanted to supplement nutrition for the mother and daughter.

It’s just a matter of taking good care of the bodies of the three adoptive mothers who have suffered losses for so many years.

Just looking at the two little guys, they look like bean sprouts.

At the age of three, he should be plump and round.

But when I scratched my body, I found that there was no flesh at all. Such a small face turned into an oval face.

Two big black eyes, facing a head of withered grass.

Lu Miaozhu, on the other hand, has thin arms and legs, and looks like he could fall over in the wind.

Su Bai looked at them, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt like a beast.

Although, these days, every household basically only eats two meals.

Come back from farm work in the morning and have a meal at ninety o'clock.

Then there’s a meal at three or four in the afternoon.

Because by doing this, you can save a meal and a lot of food throughout the year.

But for Su Bai, for the sake of his children and wife, three meals a day is everything.

After a while, your pocket will become really rich. It will be better if you eat four meals a day, smaller meals more frequently.

Su Bai was thinking in his mind, and his men were not idle either.

He got up and went to cook.

There are two firewood pots in the house.

In villages these days, every household raises some livestock.

If the conditions are slightly better, a piglet will be caught in the new year.

Sold at the end of the year.

The economic source of this pig is the annual income of the entire rural family.

Children go to school, buy daily necessities, go to the doctor, etc.

All counting on this pig.

Therefore, families usually have extra stoves specifically for cooking food for pigs.

Su Bai also has two stoves at home.

But that all started when my brother and parents were both here.

At that time, the family also raised pigs.

Pigs eat better than people eat all year round.

And since the family separation, Su Bai couldn't even get the money to catch piglets, let alone raise pigs.

So the pot was cleaned and used to boil water.

He heated up a pot, boiled a pot of water, and began to water the fat.

Cut the washed fat into pieces and quickly pour it into cold water.

After it boils, skim off the foam, take out the pork, wash it, and then start boiling the lard.

There is a shortage of meat and oil these days, and everyone’s stomach is empty.

So, smelling the smell of meat and fat, two little guys eating pancakes stood on the stove with their short legs, watching curiously.

Tangtang took a bite of the pancake, smacked her lips, pointed at the fat that was dripping out of the pan, and said in a milky voice:

"Papa, what is this? It smells so good~"

Guoguo took a sip of saliva.

Swallowed.

She was so greedy that she stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of Su Bai's clothes, her voice was soft and coquettish:

"Guoguo, I want to eat, I want to eat~"

Su Bai was amused.

"It's very hot. Be good, Tangtang. Wait a moment. Wait a moment. Daddy will get you something delicious!"

Although the two little guys were greedy, when they heard Su Bai say this, they squatted aside obediently, gnawing on the pancakes and looking at the pot eagerly.

Well-behaved and cute.

The lard is almost ready.

You can hear the sizzling sound of lard residue coming out.

Su Bai found a broken earthen jar, cleaned it, and wiped it dry with a rag.

Originally, it would be best to sprinkle a handful of fried soybeans in this earthen pot.

but.

Now the family is poor.

Not to mention soybeans, there are no mung beans, red beans, or black beans.

Su Bai scooped up the lard and put the remaining lard residue into the enamel jar he just bought.

"This is called lard residue, sprinkled with a layer of sugar, it's delicious."

Su Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

He bought a pound of sugar.

This year.

Sugar is a luxury product for every household.

After the two little guys were born, Tangtangguo had never eaten sugar, let alone white sugar.

At that moment, when he saw Su Bai using a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of dense, snow-white sugar from the plastic bag, and then sprinkled it on the lard residue, two small milk dumplings, he was so greedy that his mouth watered!

"I want to eat it! I want to eat it, Tangtang! It looks so delicious!"

"Guoguo, I like it, sweet~"

The two little guys couldn't wait.

At this moment, I finished eating the pancakes and wanted to eat the lard residue again.

Su Bai quickly picked up two lard residues covered with sugar with his thumb and index finger, put them to his mouth, blew them to cool down, and put them into Tangtang and Guoguo's mouths.

"Aww!"

"Xiangxiang~"

Two small milk dumplings, crunching the lard residue dipped in sugar.

For a moment, the aroma of oily flowers, accompanied by a sweet taste, filled the mouths of the two little breast dumplings.

The two little guys finished eating reluctantly, and even licked the oily residue on their lips again and again.

"Daddy, it smells so good and sweet! Tangtang likes it!"

"Aww! Aww!"

Guoguo stretched out her hand, pointed at her open mouth, and pulled the hem of Su Bai's clothes softly and coquettishly.

"Guoguo still wants~"

Oil and sugar, these two taboos were known as health killers in later generations. However, in this impoverished 1980s, they were the most valuable delicacies.

Su Bai felt distressed and relieved.

He quickly pulled the two sisters and walked to the yard, holding an enamel bowl filled with lard residue in his other hand.

Su Bai placed the enamel bowl on the small bench and said:

"Tangtang and Guoguo are here to eat lard residue, but they can't eat too much. They have to eat later, okay?"

The two little guys were so greedy.

He immediately nodded and agreed.
