Hard times have room

Chapter 214 Brown Sugar Ginger Soup
After taking a bath, Paulin took out the brown sugar at home and dug out the old ginger, which had become shriveled for more than two months.

There is only a small piece of brown sugar, and the ginger piece is the size of her palm. Mixing it together is a pot of hot ginger soup. Although the taste is not very good, you can drink it. The cold air that people just got from the rain was all expelled with this hot sweat.

After that, Pauline did not go back to the room to be alone, but sat at the door of the main room with her small bench, watching the heavy rain outside with her parents.

"Hey, Dad, Mom, did you bring back the guy you brought back when you came back?" Pauline looked at her parents and suddenly thought that the two had brought tools before going out.

One picked out the newly made baskets at home, and the other brought the only two sickles at home. One was new, the other was old. The new one was bought just a month ago, and the old one was less. Said it took seven or eight years.

"No, then the rain is so urgent, who can care about this, wait until the afternoon rain stops, and look for it when the stone bridge gathers, anyway, I can't lose it." Wang Jiandang's tone was more sloppy and indifferent. .

When this thing was brought over, it was marked and distributed to those who had too many family members and could not have a tool for each person. Whoever got this thing was registered, and if it was lost, the person who took the thing was found. people are responsible.

Another is that he can do this basket by himself, but it takes a little effort. These days, it is labor that is worthless.

"Me too. The new one I took in my hand was brought back. I don't know who to distribute the old one. I just put it in the secretary and memorize it. Who will memorize this."

After speaking, Su Hongying stretched out her finger and lightly tapped Baolin's forehead: "Why are you worrying so much, just take care of yourself."

"Oh, I know, isn't it too boring to sit here stupidly! I'll just ask and find something." After all, she was also a former worker, and she didn't know where the extra tools she had taken in the past went. .

Forget it, let’s think about what to eat. The rain this summer is coming fast, but it’s going fast, and it’s estimated that the rain will stop in a while.

"Mom, what are you going to eat for lunch?" When Pauline said this, she kept winking at Wang Jiandang.

As soon as Wang Jiandang saw it, he knew that he was greedy, and he must have liked the only two eels in the family.

The water in the fields was almost dry before, if it weren't for their busy work day and night, it would have died long ago.

There is no water in this field, and there are few things in it, especially the eel. In May, it is not a problem to have seven or eight good luck in one night, and there are only three or four. After several nights, I didn't see a shadow at all, and they all went into the hole, but is the hole easy to find?

Just four days ago, I was very lucky. I saw a hole during the day when I was carrying water, and I saw another hole when I went out to catch frogs at night, that is, two.

Now this thing has been left for four days, but no one has moved it. Originally, it was said that it was fried and eaten when Xia Harvest was tired, but today it was harvested alive, and I don't know if it counted.

"Cough, aren't there two yellow eels at home that say they will be kept for the summer harvest? That's it." When Wang Jiandang said this, he looked at the sky and looked at the ground but not Su Hongying, and after he finished speaking, he turned to look at the heavy rain outside , for fear of meeting Su Hongying's death eyes.

"That's all right, that's all." Su Hongying is still very eager for meat. She can endure it for four days. She is almost at her limit. I have already cooked those two little things myself.

As for the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the father and daughter, she "absolutely" did not see it.

"Okay, Dad, you're going to cook the eel, and I'm going to prepare the ingredients." Paulin happily arranged the division of labor.

Of course, it was only limited to their father and daughter. Comrade Su Hongying just needed to sit down and make overall plans.

Paulin first wore a big hat and bare feet, went to the back room to pick a bag of seven or eight chili peppers, and also came with four or five pieces of tender ginger leaves. Maybe it's raining again, and now cook it with ginger leaves on top!

After that, I went around to the other side and picked four or five garlic leaves. Now I have to think carefully about everything at home, just pull the leaves and eat them, so as not to delay their results.

After picking the things, Paulin handed the things she just picked to Su Hongying at the door of the house. She carried the straw sandals she had just used once, and went to the puddle in the front yard. After washing her feet, He took off his shoes at the door of the house and entered the house.

At noon today, she planned to stew potatoes and eel together for the main course, and she could put two or three more potatoes than usual to make her fuller.

After the heavy rain, Pauline felt that it would be easier to get sick after eating a little more full and spicy.

Carrying a pair of straw sandals that I had specially kept in the house when it rained, I went to the kitchen. First, I used a wooden basin for rainwater at the door of the eaves, poured water to wash my feet thoroughly, and put on my shoes.

Both Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang would weave straw sandals. Straw sandals are simple materials. Everyone in the family has at least three pairs. If they break, they can make them up again. It's very simple.

In just a short while, Wang Jiandang had already disposed of the eel at home, ripped open its belly, and chopped it into two finger-long pieces of meat.

"Dad, I'll do it next." Paulin looked at the processed meat and said to Wang Jiandang next to him.

Wang Jiandang nodded and walked out of the kitchen. He really had nothing to do, it would only be a hindrance here, and then he just had to wait and eat.

Thinking of eating the meat in his mouth later, he desperately longed for this time to go by faster, and even faster, preferably at dinner time.

Paulin directly put the meat on the chopping board into a large bowl, added a small amount of coarse salt, rubbed vigorously, and washed away the mucus on the skin. After a while, she added water to rinse it off, and then added another A small pinch of salt, this time for pickling.

Next is the things you need to use later, five potatoes, just scrub and wash, no need to peel, eight green peppers, ginger leaves, garlic leaves, all chopped and set aside.

Then heat the pan with cold oil, and when it bubbles slightly, pour the eel into the head, stir fry until the skin and flesh are slightly curled up, then pour in the chili and ginger garlic leaves just prepared, and when they are almost cooked, add one more Add a little salt and half a scoop of water. After the water boils, add the chopped potatoes to the edge and simmer over high heat. After a while, the fragrance will come out.
