Chapter 643 Wang Chunhua's First Combat
Han Li knocked on the door and it was opened. He Mi's face was full of joy.
"I'm back."
"I'm back. Why are you standing at the street door?"
"Just now, these dogs suddenly started whining and scratching the door. I thought you were back. I wanted to go over, but I didn't know what was going on over there. Was there anyone else or anything else, so I waited here."
When Han Li was about to reach out and embrace He Mi, Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua, the half-sisters, came over.
"I said it must be Brother Han who is back."
"Brother Han, you are back. Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, I haven't eaten yet."
"Brother Han, I will cook whatever you want."
"Anything that can fill your stomach is fine. Last time, you said that the big bread and sausage in Bingcheng are delicious. This time, I brought you some more. And these meats need to be processed, otherwise they will go bad in the hot weather."
Then Han Li just sat in the yard to enjoy the cool and drink tea, while He Mi and the other three got busy.
He Mi cooked for Han Li at the stove, while Hou Yuhua helped and made fire.
Qi Zhaodi talked to Han Li in the yard while processing the fresh meat to prevent it from going bad.
She first evenly spread salt on the meat. While marinating the meat, she went to the firewood shed to pick out some small branches and wet them all with water, so that they could only smoke but not burn when they were lit.
She said that these branches were only for temporary use tonight. She would go to the mountain to cut some live pine branches tomorrow and let the smoke continue for a few days. After the meat slowly turns brown, it won't be afraid of spoiling within a year.
Han Li looked at Qi Zhaodi's serious and busy appearance, thought about it and asked.
"Little sister, if one day you can freely choose your career, what do you want to do most?"
"Of course it's a pot maker (cook). The old saying goes that a pot maker will not starve to death in a three-year drought. In fact, even their families will not starve to death. In the past, there was a pot maker working in a unit in our village, and his family lived better than everyone else.
I remember very clearly that at that time, when the village cadres asked everyone to collect corn roots, corn stalks, wheat roots, and old sweet potato vines (sweet potato vines) and grind them into powder as "substitute food", their family could eat corn (corn) flour porridge.
I stepped barefoot in the cold river water, and I was soaked in sweat to catch the half-clothes bag bug. When the stink was coming out, their son was already leisurely eating fried soybeans.
I was about the same age as his son, but he was two circles thicker than me at that time, and he was heavier than two or three of me put together. This was all because his old man (father) was a pot maker.
At that time, I was still young and didn't know the twists and turns here. I thought it was because I didn't have my old man. Every time I saw him eating good food, I would cry to my grandmother, but my grandmother would beat me every time, saying that I was a jinx who killed her son and made the family lose a worker's quota. "
[Pit bug: There are stink bugs in all parts of my country, also known as stink bugs, fart bugs, fart bugs, black beetles, and stinky sisters. When frightened, the body will secrete volatile stink bug acid, making the surroundings smell unbearable.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that salty and warm are non-toxic, regulate qi and relieve pain, warm the middle and strengthen yang, and long-term use is beneficial to people.
The Chinese Medicine Dictionary records that it has significant effects on nervous gastropathy, heart pain caused by mental depression, weakness of waist and knees caused by spleen and kidney yang deficiency, impotence, and enuresis.
However, only people in the towns along the Jialing River ate it at first, and Langzhong, Sichuan Province, was the most prosperous. The locals called the fart bugs "nine-scented bugs". There are documents describing nine-scented bugs, which are out of Langzhong and smell bad but taste good.
There is also a local saying that "rich people eat deer antlers, and poor people eat nine-scented bugs."
However, no one in Chengdu ate them at that time. Later, the news brought by the flow of people and hunger made people here catch them to satisfy their hunger.
This little thing will make you stink when you catch it, so the nine-scented bugs you catch should be put into a basin of water to "fart". After changing the water three or four times in a row, the farts in the nine-scented bugs will be exhausted and they will die.
At this time, pour the nine-scented insects into the pot and slowly dry them. When they are dried and oil comes out, the fragrance will come out. At this time, you can add salt, pepper and other seasonings according to your taste, and the yellow, oily and fragrant food will be made.
However, at that time, they were used as food, and it was good to add some salt. Later, they were caught and sold, and various flavors gradually increased. Children in many places eat them as melon seeds and snacks, and adults eat them as snacks. 】
Han Li originally thought that there was still a year before the college entrance examination. It was not a good thing for him to always force them to study with him. He must know their thoughts. Only in this way can he better draw the pie and make them more active in learning. However, he did not expect that his words would make Qi Zhaodi cry when she remembered her childhood, so he hurriedly persuaded her.
"Don't cry, don't cry, those things have passed and we don't think about them. Our lives will only get better and better in the future. I support you no matter what you want to do."
Qi Zhaodi cried silently for a while, and under Han Li's persuasion, she reached out and wiped her tears and said.
"Brother Han is right, the matter has passed. I am very happy now that I have the care of my godfather, godmother, you, Sister He, Sister Yun, as well as my eldest sister, second sister, and youngest sister.
But if I can really choose, I still want to be a pot maker, so that I can make delicious food for everyone on ordinary days. If I encounter the situation in those years again, I can let everyone eat better than others."
Han Li sighed in his heart after listening to it. It was not surprising that Qi Zhaodi made such a choice, but he couldn't say anything clearly now, so he could only take it one step at a time.
In fact, even if she still chooses this path in the end, it's not bad. Who says that learning cooking skills can only make you a chef? When the time is right, I can completely guide her to the chain catering industry, and maybe I can even cultivate a leading enterprise.
All the words Han Li and Qi Zhaodi said in the yard were heard by the two people who were cooking in the house. When Hou Yuhua was at a loss and didn't know what to do, He Mi rubbed her head and said softly.
"The past is over, but Qi Xiaomei has really had a hard time since she was a child. When she first came, she was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her down. She didn't even have a winter coat. Your situation is far worse than yours.
However, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she never says it, she is usually nice to you. And after all, you have the same mother, so you should take better care of her in the future. If she is disappointed with you again, she will probably have nothing to do with your family in the future. "
Hou Yuhua nodded heavily after listening to He Mi's words, but now she was thinking in her heart, if that day really came, what would she do? She thought of many careers in a row, but in the end she rejected them all. It was all because of this damn height that made her unable to do many things.
Especially after Hou Yuhua experienced being robbed, she now feels unsafe walking on the street. If she was beaten or robbed, she could still bear it, but if she was put into a sack and sold in the ravine, it would be over. Her two short legs would never be able to run out in her life.
He Mi stewed some oil beans with the meat that Han Li had just brought over, and put a circle of pancakes on the top of the dish. This simple and fast method of using two pots is the first skill that people who come here learn.
Next, He Mi also made a dish of sugar-mixed tomatoes and cucumbers, and finally a big meat The intestines were cut into a plate and placed on the grate for steaming.
While Han Li was eating, He Mi and the others talked about some things that happened in the village in the past two days, including the collective worship on the 18th.
The most interesting thing among them was the newly arrived educated youth from Zhonghe Village. When they went to the sales outlet to buy things, one of them secretly grabbed a handful of sugar balls in the store, and was seen by Zhang Ganying by chance.
However, the other party refused to admit such a dirty thing, and said that the sugar balls in his pocket were bought from the county town.
So the two sides tore and finally wrestled together. At that time, Zhang Ganying was the only one in the sales outlet. At that time, four people from the other side beat him up and ran away.
Later, Wang Chunhua took a kitchen knife and brought many people from the Zhang family, as well as a group of people from the village called by Captain Liang, to beat them. Zhonghe Village.
Before so many people entered the village, they were discovered by the people of Zhonghe Village. Their team leader hurried over to ask what happened.
While the two team leaders were still negotiating, Wang Chunhua and others rushed directly into the educated youth courtyard of Zhonghe Village.
In any case, people from their own village were beaten by educated youth from other villages. The words of the people from Shanghe Village after entering the door were not very pleasant, and they pushed and shoved with some people who blocked the road and prevented them from entering.
The educated youths of Zhonghe Village were all young people with strong blood and steel. When they were beaten rashly, especially when these people were not from Zhonghe Village, their first reaction was to fight back.
The two groups of people didn't know who started the fight first, but they soon wrestled together.
Although there were many people from Shanghe Village, the situation at that time could not be determined in a short time.
Wang Chunhua showed her female power, holding a kitchen knife and slashing three or four people in succession. The screams and the bloody kitchen knife frightened the educated youth from Zhonghe Village so much that they all retreated into the house and dared not come out.
Later, the people from Shanghe Village smashed the doors and windows, shouting loudly for them to hand over the bastards who stole things and beat people.
The four educated youths who stole things and beat people did not dare to go out at all. They did not dare to open the door until the captains of both sides arrived.
At this time, the person who stole things still did not admit it, insisting that he bought it in the county town, and that it was the other party who beat Zhang Ganying first. He also asked the captain of Zhonghe Village to make the decision for them, saying that they should not be beaten for no reason, and several people were slashed with knives.
