my home is in the northeast

249. Big Fruit and Oil Cake

The Zhang family ate big fruits and millet porridge just out of the pot early in the morning, and side dishes such as pork skin jelly and salted duck eggs were placed on the table.

Here in my hometown, the surrounding area is very quiet at night, unlike in the city, there is a feeling of extraordinarily tranquility.Several people also gave up playing with their mobile phones, carefully feeling the quiet atmosphere, and went to bed early.

So it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and everyone had already slept until they woke up naturally.

It's just that although they got up early, they were much later than Zhang Changgui, his wife and Hu's mother. The elders had already finished their work and had dinner after six o'clock.

After the four of them washed up and sat at the kang table, Zhang Yuhe looked at Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, why don't you look so good? Did you not sleep well yesterday?"

"I don't know why. I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed of a volcanic eruption. I also dreamed of falling into the sea and being tied up and eaten by a prehistoric giant squid. After struggling all night, I was very tired." Xiao Yao yawned.Although he said he slept all night, he looked mentally exhausted.

"Really? Then you eat more later, and then take a nap at noon to catch up on sleep." Chi Junping is a good brother, and said very considerately.

Xiao Yao nodded.

Rong Ziyan gave Zhang Yuhe a meaningful look.

"Brother, why are you like this..." Zhang Yuhe was puzzled by Rong Rong's eyes, and halfway through the sentence, he suddenly remembered the good thing he did last night, and immediately pushed the meat jelly for Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao eat more click it."

Mother Hu called the two little guys up to wash up and pushed them to the kang table, "Sit down and eat, it won't taste good when it's cold."

The two little guys were still sleepy at first, but when they saw a few uncles, they suddenly became less sleepy.

"Uncle, what are you playing today!"

"What are you playing, uncle is very busy today." Zhang Yuhe laughed.

Usually his parents would wait for them to have breakfast, but today a few people ate first, it must be because of something, if I guessed correctly, they must have brought the villagers to their greenhouse.

"Your uncle is right, he will be busy later, you two can play by yourself." Sun Cuifang put a basket of freshly fried big fruit on the table, "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, someone will come over in a while."

"Understood, Mom." Zhang Yuhe nodded, then turned to look at the two little guys, "You will play with these two uncles in a while, and the uncle will be busy."

Xiao Zihao and Heather nodded.Chi Junping is their good friend. With Chi Junping around, they can go to the small supermarket to eat their fill.

The big fruit is best fried right away. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. One bite is oily and crispy, another bite is mixed with sauerkraut and millet porridge. The feeling of satisfaction is indescribable.

Sun Cuifang didn't serve much, so everyone just finished sharing one stick, and when they finished eating, a new one was served again.

The big fruits made at home are different from those outside. They are bigger and more delicious.

Zhang Yuhe stopped eating after eating two, "Mom, don't cook too much, or you won't be able to eat for lunch."

"Yes, aunt, I'll take Xiao Yao, Zihao, and Shinan to the streets later." Chi Junping also wiped his mouth and stopped eating.

"Okay, then I won't fry it. You guys are eating too little." Sun Cuifang felt a little regretful.

"What's for lunch?" Xiao Yao blurted out.

"It's over, Xiao Yao is also fascinated by Northeast cuisine." Chi Junping covered his eyes.

"Let's make pancakes for lunch, what kind of busy food do you want to eat?"

"Oil cakes?" Xiao Yao grew up in Beijing, and his concept of oil cakes is different from that in Northeast China.

He can understand Daguozi. In the generation of Beijing and Tianjin, the old people also called fried dough sticks as fruit. In Beijing, there is pancake fruit for breakfast, and Tianjin also has pancake fruit. The meaning is the same, and they are eaten with fried dough sticks.

But the meaning of oil cake is different.

"Oil cakes are pancakes. The way we make them is oily, crispy and soft. It's really delicious. You'll know it at noon." Zhang Yuhe explained.

"..." Xiao Yao swallowed. Although he had just eaten, he still felt greedy after hearing what Zhang Yuhe said.

He felt more and more that it was the most correct thing to come to the Northeast together. Not only the local customs and customs here are interesting, but the food is also delicious.And looking at Zhang Yuhe's business in the Northeast, it is really not small, far bigger than their family's business, not to mention that the profits here are far more than ordinary people.

After eating and drinking enough, several people cleared the table, and people from the village who signed the contract also came over one after another.Sun Cuifang got up early in the morning and told them about it. Everyone went to Zhang's shed to have a look, and they were overjoyed.

Recently, the output of their greenhouses has been getting lower and lower, and the quality has also declined.Although the person Zhao Yihu sent to buy vegetables didn't say anything, the people in the village were relatively simple, and he felt sorry for him.

Now that Zhang's greenhouse has improved, he is immediately overjoyed.

Those who followed Zhang Changgui to the greenhouse all signed up one after another. Knowing that Zhang Yuhe was too busy, everyone automatically arranged the order.

Zhang Yuhe put on his clothes and was about to go out, Rong Ziyan also followed.

"Little Crane, I'll be with you."

Rong Ziyan was afraid that there would be some accidents in the middle. Although Zhang Yuhe's spiritual power increased a little after being stimulated with the heart of plants, no one knew if there would be any aftereffects if he used it too much in a short period of time.He is now the only insider, so it is most appropriate to follow.

Zhang Yuhe nodded and agreed, and the two followed them to the shed on the tricycle.

Naturally, it is not easy to perform in front of people, so Zhang Yuhe found an excuse to wander around the greenhouse alone to arouse the hearts of plants.

After finishing two of them in one morning, Rong Ziyan was afraid that he would be exhausted, so he was not allowed to go to the third one.

Zhang Yuhe was forcefully dragged home by Rong Ziyan.

Going back, Rong Ziyan said, Sun Cuifang nodded repeatedly.

"This kid is just ignorant, can he finish the job? If it weren't for Xiaorong, you would be brave. Xiaorong, you should take care of Yu Baoer, this kid is just brave, and went to the forest by himself when he was a child Looking for dried fruit here to subsidize the family, how old were we at that time, we were so anxious..." Sun Cuifang finally found an ally, and dragged Rong to vomit bitterness.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of him." Rong Ziyan said with a smile, although he said it with a smile, but his tone was slow and firm, as if swearing, which made Zhang Yuhe's face a little hot.

"Mom..." Zhang Yuhe pulled Sun Cuifang's arm coquettishly, "Cook quickly, I'm hungry."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, I'll cook." Sun Cuifang smiled and shook her head.

"The two haven't come back yet?"

"No, the two of them took their children out to play. I asked them to bring some food to your eldest sister." Sun Cuifang said while cooking.

Zhang Yuhe picked too many vegetables yesterday, so he didn't share some with the two daughters, and they might not be able to eat them all if they were spoiled.

At noon, Chi Junping and Xiao Yao came back with their two children.

"You two are back, and you dare to go out for so long with your children." Zhang Yuhe scolded with a smile.

"We didn't dare to go to places with too many people. We found a snack street and walked around. There were not many people, but there were a lot of delicious food."

"What did you eat?" Rong Ziyan asked with a smile.

"Brother, we ate a lot of the roasted cold noodles you mentioned last time, hehe." Chi Junping said, "We even brought back some desserts."

"Have you eaten anything else?"

"We also ate ice cream! We ate a lot!" Xiao Zihao said excitedly.

"Shh! Didn't we agree that we can't talk!" Chi Junping looked embarrassed.

"Let my eldest sister and the others know that you eat so many ice creams for them in winter, and take care of you."

"Hey, sister Yuping is reluctant to deal with me." Chi Junping said with a smile, "At most, we are not allowed to take them out again."

Zhang Yuhe wanted to say something more, when the phone rang, it was Zhang Yuwei calling.

"Third sister?"

"Yu Baoer, how did you get that equipment here? I just opened the door and saw that all the equipment is inside!"

"Haha, my friends are naturally very good, pack up and get ready to start work. I'll send you the silkworm cocoons tomorrow."

"Row!"

"Where's my father?" Zhang Yuhe found out that only Sun Cuifang and Hu's mother were busy at home, and Zhang Changgui had never been seen.

"Your father went to play cards with your uncle Sun."

"Isn't my father bad at playing cards?" Zhang Yuhe's eyes widened.

"What's wrong with him? He doesn't have that kind of skill, and he has to earn money to support his family. Life used to be hard, but now it's easy, so he's happy to fight. But you don't have to worry, just your old stingy father, the family is like this now For a lot of money, he even traded with others for [-] cents."

"Twenty-four eighty cents?" Chi Junping snickered, "Then you won't win much if you fight for half a day."

"No, it's just to pass the time. People in the village don't know how to play tricks, and winning or losing is only a few dozen yuan a day." Sun Cuifang laughed.

"Does aunt like to play? Let's play mahjong at night." Chi Junping said with a smile, "Our brothers usually play mahjong with my mother at home."

"Fart. Is that with mom? I'm with you." Zhang Yuhe complained.

"Okay, let's play after dinner." Sun Cuifang smiled.

A piece of pancake was cooked, fried shredded potatoes, fried vermicelli with sauerkraut, dry-stir-fried beans, fried carrots with shredded pork and other dishes suitable for burritos were served on the table. Xiao Zihao was assigned a task to call the master Zhang Changgui next door.

In addition to these vegetarian dishes, there are also many washed lettuce, bitter chrysanthemum and other dishes, which are also very good when dipped in egg sauce and rolled in pancakes.

Of course, there is no shortage of meat dishes.

The pork belly, the size of a child's fist, was stewed soft and glutinous. After the soup dried up, the thick soup was like amber that could flow, and slowly flowed down on the pork belly.Gently pinch with chopsticks, and the soft, glutinous and crispy pork belly can be easily separated.Different from the red sauce on the outside, the meat inside is very light and tender.

Only when you enter the mouth, you will know how delicious this meat is stewed in a large firewood stove.

It takes a certain amount of skill to clamp the whole piece, and with a little more strength, the meat may be broken into two halves.

The pork belly stewed to this level, even the fattest part under the skin, is fat but not greasy, which can be regarded as melting in the mouth.

Although Aunt Sun can also stew delicious meat, for Zhang Yuhe, the craftsmanship of Sun Cuifang, who grew up from snacks to adulthood, is the most suitable for him.This fat and soft pork belly fills up the empty wanderer's heart immediately, and returns to the stomach with heavy satisfaction, which makes people feel at ease.

When eating meat, you don't need to talk, just feel it with your heart.There was a rare silence at the dinner table, no one said a word, they all ate meat silently.
