Chapter 38
With enough time, leisurely is finally in the mood to study some other things. No, she has been marinating cowpeas for the last two days.
The cowpeas planted by Lin Mu are growing very well this year. It's the end of July, and they are still popping out one after another. Even their mother and daughter can't eat a lot of them at home. Give it away. Basically every family has planted it, and it's hard to sell it in rural areas.
Seeing that Lin Mu was very worried, he took the cowpeas down. According to the memory of previous life, began to make sour beans.
First take a clean oil-free pot, pour in enough water, add pepper, dry red pepper, salt, star anise, bring to a boil and let cool. Take another large clean oil-free pot and boil water. Blanch the washed cowpea until it is cooked. Drain the water and put it in a clean jar. Pour the pepper water on it until the cowpea is completely submerged. Pour some cold boiled water at the mouth of the jar and keep it sealed. You can eat it in 20 days.
Every day there are constantly mature cowpeas. It took me half a month to marinate all the cowpeas at home. Looking at the black jar in the corner of the kitchen, I clapped my hands leisurely, and finally it was a great success.
But every time Lin Mu came to the kitchen and saw the black jars, she wanted to cover her eyes. Without it, the jars were too expensive. Leisurely chose the best jars and jars in tanzipu. Each jar is 30 Wen, which is acceptable. But the small jars were fifty Wen each, and Mrs. Lin had a toothache. If she didn't worry about the girl's face, she really wanted to let the delivery shop man pull back on the spot.
Fortunately, with leisurely and energetic commitment, and careful use of this thing for many years, Lin's mother gradually calmed down.
When Lin's mother visited her son in the Academy again, she brought her son a can of pickled beans and stewed chicken feet, in addition to the usual dry food and meat sauce. Lin's mother said to her son with a smile, "your sister knows that you study hard, so she bought chicken feet and pig feet with her own money. Let me bring you ten stewed eggs. I'm afraid that you will lose. It's delicious. You peel it when you eat it, and you can eat it after a while with hot water. "
Enron grabs his head. "Well, it smells good. Mother, you go back to thank my sister for me. I'll just have something to eat at the Academy. Don't let my sister spend more money. "
Lin's mother said with a happy smile, "your sister has more than 100 mu of land. You don't have to worry about her because the autumn harvest is coming. Besides, since your sister came back, our family is much wider now. You usually eat something good in the Academy. Don't be too bad for yourself. Although reading is good, health is also very important. "
Enron nodded and told her mother that the Academy would be off in about ten days, and told her mother not to come again. Lin's mother answered, and they said something, and Lin's mother went back. She came in a carriage with other mothers of students in the town. She was afraid that others would be worried if she was late.
Send mother away, safely with things back to the residence. Just at lunch time, several students in one room went to the canteen of the college for lunch, leaving only one Li Wenbo, who was eating hard steamed bread with boiled water and pickled vegetables.
The Bailang academy, where Enron studied, was located in a remote place and built on the hillside. There is nothing to sell around. Students either bring their own food or go to the canteen of the college. Of course, the children of large families will naturally have servants to deliver three meals a day on time. The children of ordinary families will not be so spoiled, and those who can afford to eat in the canteen are in good condition. Li Wenbo is one of the poor families whose children can't even afford to eat in the canteen. They can only bring some steamed bread and pickles from home.
Enron put the food on the table in the middle of the room, "brother Li, don't eat that. Come and have a taste of the bittern my mother just sent me. "
Although Li Wenbo is a bit pedantic, he has a feeling of sympathy because his father died early like Lin Enron. So the friendship between them was pretty good. At the moment, they were not polite to Enron. They took a chicken paw from Enron and ate it. After a few bites, he praised "my aunt's craftsmanship has improved again."
Lin Enron shook his head with a smile. "You're wrong this time. My sister made these stews. My sister also pickled some sour beans, but it's delicious. It's just a little spicy. Try it. " Li Wenbo can eat spicy food. He is also embarrassed to eat meat tightly. The sour and spicy beans are just appetizing. With this, he ate a big steamed bread brought by Lin Mu. Enron know his temperament, from time to time to give him a pig's hoof, a marinated egg or something.
They were eating happily there, and the others in the same room came back. A classmate complained that "the food in the college is getting worse and worse, and the fried food doesn't even have a drop of oil."
Another interface is, "isn't that right? That soup can show people. " Two or three voices echoed.
At the beginning, the voice opened the door and saw the two people enjoying themselves. They exclaimed, "you two, you are eating alone here! It's just natural. " With that, he quickly picked up two chicken feet and a pig's hoof from the bittern flavored oil paper bag. Other people also smell the fragrance and rush in.
The table that was full just now was almost empty, leaving only some steamed bread and sour beans.
Fortunately, Enron was quick. Just before they came in, he grabbed a few chicken feet. Otherwise, he would not have enough to eat now.
Give Li Wenbo one. Enron is just about to chew his chicken feet. In the opposite room, a young man in a brocade robe rushed in and grabbed the last chicken claw in his hand. "Well, you don't call me when you eat good food." Other people glared at him one after another, "Cheng Zijun, you eat well every day, and even come to grab food with us. I'm really ashamed." When the youth didn't hear it, he ate half a piece of steamed bread with sour beans after eating chicken feet. After eating, he patted his belly with satisfaction. "This cowpea pickle is really delicious, light and refreshing. Aunt, you are so good at craftsmanship. Enron, you really have a good mouth. " When other people want to take the first wave after eating, the bittern has been divided up.
As the saying goes, "half a kid eats poor Lao Tzu". When he was a teenager, he was able to eat. On weekdays, he had no money in the Academy. Occasionally smell meat, who can resist?
I beg your pardon? How polite are you on weekdays?
Well, that's the external image. Saints have said that dullele is not as good as zhonglele. They are all classmates and friends. How do you mean to eat alone?
Put the delicious food away and eat it for ten and a half days. That's what girls' dormitory can do.
Boys, if you do this, you will never make friends.
It's just that most parents don't know much about it. When their children are studying, they are desperate to let them bring more delicious food, but they don't know how few of these things can get into their children's mouths. It's always been the case.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone smeared the oil on the corners of their mouths and said, "Enron, aunt's craftsmanship is very good. This chicken claw stew is really delicious. Let her do more next time."
Lin Enron smiles and doesn't speak. He doesn't like to talk about his sister in front of too many people. He's afraid that people will blaspheme her. Look at the 80% new shoes on his feet. They were made by his sister last time. After only two or three months, my sister had already made two clothes and two pairs of shoes for herself. His mother has done it for him before, but the care given by his mother and sister is different. Moreover, the clothes made by my sister look much better. It's nice to have my sister by my side!
In the twinkling of an eye, it was the tenth day of August. Because many students had to go home to help with the autumn harvest, and the Mid Autumn Festival, the Academy took a ten day holiday.
Enron will be temporarily unable to wear summer clothes and thin quilt are brought back, after the mid autumn cold. It's time to take thick bedding when you go to the Academy again.
When he got home, his mother just went out. Leisurely, she heard someone talking at the gate. It turned out that her younger brother had come back. See my brother struggling with a big package, also holding a big bag of clothes in his arms, a carriage just drove away. Leisurely quickly took the package from his brother's back and asked, "little brother, are you back? Why didn't anyone come back? "
Enron said with a smile, "it happens that my classmate Cheng Zijun is the grandson of Master Cheng's family in the town. Every time he comes back, his family will send a carriage to pick him up. I've rubbed the car several times."
Leisurely nodded, "in this case, when you leave, I'll make two kinds of exquisite snacks for you to thank others. Although they are generous, we can't just take advantage of them. "
"That's what my mother used to say. Every time my mother made shoes for me, she would make two pairs for him to take with me. Cheng Zijun likes the shoes made by his mother. He says the shoes made by his mother are more comfortable than those made by his embroidery mother. What's more, he didn't eat less of the food my mother brought me. It's OK. "
Together with my brother, I carried his bedding to his room and put it away, leisurely said
"Or is mother thoughtful? What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you
