my home is in the northeast

35. Fried Noodles

"Mom, what's for lunch?" Zhang Yuhe rubbed his belly and asked, after eating this meat jelly, he became even hungrier.

"Big cake. Do you like it?" Sun Cuifang came in with the cake.Sister Zhang Yuping also served porridge, one bowl for each person, and the whole family sat down around the kang table to eat.

"I like it, I like it!" The steaming pancake was just out of the pan, and a piece of skin jelly was added. When the surrounding area was slowly heated by the hot cake, the frozen skin jelly turned into a thick soup Take a big bite.

It is hot on the outside and cool on the inside, the cake is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the skin jelly is soft and smooth. Just take a bite of the meat jelly, and the wonderful flavors collide and intertwine, making an ordinary food instantly Jump into delicious food on the tip of your tongue.

Zhang Yuhe ate several pieces of pork skin jelly in a row, and also finished the piece of hot cake in his hand. Only then did he relieve his craving a little, bowed his head and drank a big mouthful of millet porridge, and let out a long breath of comfort.

The millet used to cook the porridge is grown in our own land, and we use the seeds that we leave every year. The millet at home is much smaller than the millet sold in the market. Although the color is not golden, it is not bad. Porridge or steamed rice are very fragrant.When the millet porridge was boiled, there was a layer of wrinkled skin floating on it. Zhang Yuhe liked to eat porridge skin when he was a child.

"Yu Bao'er has suffered in recent years." Seeing her son eating so deliciously, Sun Cuifang couldn't help but count her nose and wiped her tears.

"What are you doing during the festival?" Zhang Changgui glared at his wife dissatisfied, and took a chicken leg for his son, "Eat meat, eat fish."

Sun Cuifang also gave Zhang Yuhe a piece of fish, and it was his favorite fish belly.Seeing the two daughters sniggering aside, they stuffed two more pieces of chicken with them, "I'll give it to you too, don't say I'm biased."

Today is New Year's Day, and they didn't have a good time here, but now life is better, and their son and grandson are all here. Sun Cuifang went out and bought a fish and stewed it back, which also fits into the festive atmosphere.

They drank too much wine in the past two days, neither father nor son wanted to drink, but the female generals at home took out a bottle of red wine from nowhere, each of them poured a small glass and drank slowly.

"Mom, I want to drink too."

"What to drink, children are not allowed to drink." Zhang Yuping glared at her son.

"Zihao is good." Zhang Yuhe patted his nephew's head, "We men, drink baijiu, and when you grow up, drink with uncle."

With Zhang Yuhe's words, Xiao Zihao immediately stopped making trouble.

Zhang Yuping said with a smile, "It's strange for you to say, how old was Zihao when you left, and I haven't seen him a few times in the past five years, and he listens to you the most."

"That's right, I'm a charismatic personality, isn't it Zihao?"

"Yes!" Wu Zihao supported his uncle loudly, and the whole family was amused by these two people.

After dinner, two sisters cleared the table, so Zhang Yuhe didn't need to do it, so Zhang Yuhe quickly went back to his room to see if An He came up.

"Uncle! Grandma said to make fried noodles, do you want to eat it?" Wu Zihao went into the room and asked.

"Fried noodles?" Zhang Yuhe's eyes lit up immediately, "Eat!"

"Then I'll ask grandma to cook more."

Although he had just had a full meal, Zhang Yuhe was still a little greedy when he thought of the taste of fried noodles.There are so many delicious things in his hometown, and sometimes he can't remember too many.

Take this fried noodles as an example. In the past winter, it was really happy to eat a bowl for several days.

In the past, my family was poor and there were no snacks at home. When Zhang Yuhe was a child, he and his sisters ate a bowl of fried noodles with oil, which was a delicacy.

Flour is available in every family, and when it is fried in a pot until it is slightly yellow, add Sun Cuifang’s fried crushed peanuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds...Of course, oil is also indispensable for fried noodles.

Fried noodles with oil pay attention to the use of beef bone marrow oil, ghee, etc. In the past, the family was poor, so it was very good to use sesame oil.

This food can be salty or sweet, Zhang Yuhe likes salty ones, Zhang sisters and Sun Cuifang both like sweet ones.After frying, sieve it again with a sieve. When eating, scoop some in a bowl, rinse with boiling water and add sugar. It can be thick or thin, and the taste is the same.

Zhang Yuhe swallowed hard to get his mind back and put it on his phone.

Sure enough, An He had returned and was waiting for him online.

"Little guy, you are finally back."

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I went to eat just now. Have all the things I traded in the past been tested?"

"Yes! Your plane really has a lot of good things, I'm so surprised! Except for the little white fruit that doesn't taste very good, the others are actually good, and they all have a refreshing effect. Especially It's the dried broken leaf."

Zhang Yuhe was dumbfounded.

Didn't he repeatedly explain that mothballs can't be eaten?This one actually ate it, why is there a small white fruit that tastes bad?

No wonder it tastes good!

The corner of Zhang Yuhe's mouth twitched as he imagined the taste, somewhat feeling sorry for An He on the other side.

As for the broken leaf that was killed, Zhang Yuhe thought for a while, did this refer to the tea leaves?

While Zhang Yuhe was thinking, An He sent a lot of messages, and after reading it, he could feel that the other party was a little excited.It would be great if we could have face-to-face video communication, and we could clearly see the other party's reaction, but to enable this function, you need to reach a higher level.

"Little guy, this dead broken leaf has worked so well for me, and I want to make a formal deal with you. What do you want in exchange, little guy? Rhinograss?"

Zhang Yuhe cheered up, "Actually, I want the seeds of rhinoceros. I don't know if rhinoceros is precious in your plane. I really need it to make a seasoning."

"Oh, seasoning, yes, Rhinograss is also a seasoning here. Don't worry, little guy, this thing is not precious, it's almost everywhere, I'm just too lazy to pick it up. But the seeds..." An He hesitated For a moment, "I want to give it to you, but I'm afraid your plane can't grow it? So, how about I exchange ten rhinoceros seeds for one plant with broken leaves like you?"

"No problem." Zhang Yuhe readily agreed.Tea trees are not available here, but they are sold on the Internet.Those small tea saplings cost only a few yuan each, and he can place an order now.

An ordinary tea tree is nothing, and there are many varieties of tea trees, and there is a big difference between ordinary and precious ones, not to mention that tea has a particularly important procedure, frying tea.Tea leaves that have not been roasted are just leaves, and there is no taste of tea.

So Zhang Yuhe traded with the other party with confidence.

The two agreed on a deal in a few days. In order to keep them awake for the next few days, An He asked Zhang Yuhe to provide some more tea, and Zhang Yuhe also took advantage of the opportunity and offered to trade some rhinoceros with these tea leaves.

Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction, and Zhang Yuhe was greatly relieved that the jar of old broken tea was exchanged for fifty rhinoceros.

Don't worry about it for at least a month.

Just outside the transaction, there were voices outside. Zhang Yuhe put down his phone and found that it was his brother-in-law Wu Lide.

"Brother-in-law, have you eaten yet?" It's around one o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang's family gets up early because they want to make sauced pork in the morning, so this lunch is also eaten earlier. Zhang Yuhe and his brother will have dinner as soon as they get home after eleven o'clock.

"I haven't eaten yet." Wu Lide smiled awkwardly. Today is New Year's Day, and he came here with his things to see his father-in-law's family, and of course he wanted to see his wife and children.

After Zhang Yuping returned to her mother's house that day, the Wu family was in chaos as they had guessed.

The old lady of the Wu family lost her husband outside that day, and she cried and made noises after returning home. The old man was also very angry, and he was even more angry when he heard the old lady scolding Zhang Yuping.Throwing the teacup in his hand on the ground, he cursed angrily, "Noisy! Your daughter-in-law and grandson are gone. How far are you going to go? If you don't want to live a good life, Just get out!"

Only then did the old lady realize that Zhang Yuping's mother and son hadn't come back, so she jumped up, "Okay, is this little girl going to rebel? Lide! Lide! Divorce her quickly, I don't have her in this family!"

"Mom, what are you going to do? I don't understand. Why do you always dislike Yuping? Where did she offend you?" Wu Lide was also in a hurry.He has seen his wife's forbearance for so many years, and he really doesn't understand why his mother would do this. Is it so good that the family will never have peace?

"Why? I'm all for your own good, son. Your wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she's just a burden. What's the use of marrying her back!" If you had married the girl introduced by your sister, you would have lost at least 20 years of struggle. But now? Your old man’s family will not only be unable to help you, but will also drag you down. The family is poor, and they will be unlucky for eight lifetimes. Be in-laws!"

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Wu couldn't listen anymore, "Money, money, money, you know money, all the money in the family belongs to you, you keep my pension, and you also want my son's salary Take half of it. They eat and drink at home, Zihao's food and clothing expenses are all paid by the young couple, I really don't know how a person of your age falls into the eyes of money!"

"What's wrong with me taking his salary? I have raised my son so much, I can't spend his money anymore?" The old lady jumped and scolded.

"Hehe, you will think about it. When we got married, you took all my salary. Did my mother ask you to live? You hold your son's money, what do you let your daughter-in-law spend? In the future, you will spend it on your grandson. Did you make any money?" Mr. Wu sneered, "Liu Caihua, I just found out that you are such a person today!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you all complaining about me because you want to kill me?" The old lady sat down on the sofa, covered her face and howled dryly, "I just want my son to have a future! If there is a rich His daughter-in-law, powerful father-in-law, is he still struggling in the county government?"

"Mom, I'm marrying a daughter-in-law, not a backer. I feel happy only when I'm with Yuping. You insist on me marrying someone else. Is money and power important to you? It doesn't matter whether my son lives or dies." Important!" Wu Lide shouted with red eyes, "The person Wu Xiaoru introduced to her is rich, but does that money belong to us? Can you still get hard by spending other people's money? Spending other people's money is really so comfortable Is it?"

The moment of silence in the room could hear the needle drop on the ground.
