Chapter 49 Going out to find something to eat
At noon, Yunyan was the first to go home. After shouting "Grandpa and grandma", he saw three dishes on the Eight Immortals table. He smiled and stretched his head and sniffed deeply, "Grandma, it smells so good."
Grandma smiled, "Go to the kitchen to wash your hands and see who is back."
Yunyan walked quickly to the kitchen door, and she screamed, "Brother, are you back?"
Long Jianhua, who was cooking, turned to look at his sister and laughed, "No, I've grown taller and fatter... Why are you standing there? Don't you want your brother to hug you?"
Yunyan's tears rolled in his eyes, and he ran over with a smile and said, "Now you can't hold me anymore, I want you to carry it."
Long Jianhua immediately turned around and let Yunyan pounce on his back. After turning around, he said, "Sister, you are less than a hundred pounds. You are too thin and you need to eat more."
Yunyan laughed, "Brother, my weight growth rate in the past two months cannot keep up with the height growth rate. I am very worried. If it grows too tall, it will cost a lot of fabric in the future..."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "Silly sister, do you think you can grow up all the time? That's a limit. Besides, we can eat meat every meal, and are you afraid of not having fabric? Nowadays, Yeliang doesn't want cloth tickets, and buy as much as he wants."
Yunyan was a little worried, "Brother, I really don't want cloth tickets, but they are very expensive."
Long Jianhua put down the vegetable spoon and touched her head with his back hand, "No matter how expensive it is, it is only three kilograms of meat per foot. How much meat have you eaten in the past two months?"
At this time, my mother's words came from the kitchen door, "I said Yunyan, your brother is still cooking, do you still want him to recite it? It's really inappropriate!"
Yunyan stuck out his tongue and slid down Long Jianhua's back.
Long Jianhua turned around and laughed, "Mom, I want to recite it, but she has no growth."
My mother walked to the sink to wash her hands and smiled, "How can it not grow? Our family now eats more meat in a month than in the previous three years. In August, after you got so many frogs and eels, she began to grow taller. You said that she should ensure that she eats three taels of meat every day, but where is only three taels? At noon, either an eel or a frog, and at night, a frog is fixed, and more than half a pound is enough."
That's really more than that. There are at least three or two taels of eels, and there are more than two taels of eel slices; there are no less than four taels of live frogs, and it will not be less than three taels after processing.
Long Jianhua served the braised eggplant on the table and said, "Today, please try my skills, three meats and one vegetable. Sweet and sour pork, stir-fried wild pork with pork, stir-fried dried loach with pepper, and braised eggplant with oil."
Grandma smiled and said, "You went to the line and actually learned good food. Are there such a chef in your team?"
How could there be such a chef? They all came to experiment at home after eating in a restaurant in the previous life.
He laughed, "I figured it all out myself."
Seeing Yunyan holding a bowl and chopsticks, his eyes quickly scanning the four dishes, and he looked impatient, grandpa first stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of sweet and sour ribs, and grandma also picked up a piece and took a bite, "Well, it tastes delicious."
Yunyan immediately stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece and started eating, nodded while eating, and said vaguely, "Well, it's delicious, so delicious."
Grandma smiled, "It's a pity that your father couldn't come back at noon, but he missed good things."
Because Long Jianhua's father Long Haoyuan is teaching at the Workers' and Peasants' University across the river and does not come back for lunch, grandma has such regrets.
Long Jianhua said, "This is very simple, you can learn it once. There are so many ribs at home, so you can make it when you want to eat it."
The mother smiled and said, "Don't talk about ribs. It was because of the wild boar that our family broke a kitchen knife and later bought an axe to divide the pig bones. It made your father so tired that he couldn't lift his arm for three days."
Long Jianhua's cooking skills are still very good. No matter which dish, the taste is different from that of grandma. The family is in a good mood and the taste is also very good. Although everyone is eating and asking about Long Jianhua's life in the countryside, lunch is still finished quickly.
After dinner, Long Jianhua came to Pan Wenhua's house with some Pueraria root.
Their family was all there. When they saw Long Jianhua, they greeted him enthusiastically. Pan Wenhua smiled and said, "Jianhua is back, so we can set off early."
Wenjun said pitifully, "Brother, I want to go with you."
Pan Wenhua snorted, "Jianhua can drive, can you? Are you sitting in the car alone?"
He turned his head and looked at Long Jianhua again, "Do you have something to do in the afternoon? Why don't you go and practice driving?"
Long Jianhua shook his head, "Since you know how to drive, just get familiar with it for a while on the road... Otherwise, you drive out and we will go out to find some food to come back?"
Speaking of the back, his eyes were a little shiny. There were not many frogs at home, and there were only a dozen dried rabbits. The rest were wild boar meat, and the meat was too single. There were big rivers inside and outside Shajuan City, and there were many good things inside.
Pan Wenhua's eyes also lit up, "Where to go?"
"Isn't there a very flat and shallow part of Liuyang River? We went there to catch fish, shrimps, and snails. We took out all the baskets at home and started to dry the big ones once."
After discussing the matter, Long Jianhua returned home, took out two bundles of Datuanjie tied with rubber bands, and handed them to grandma and mother one bundle.
"I made some money by selling medicinal materials, and now I'm taking a portion of it to improve my family's life. My grandfather used to drink some wine, but now I haven't drunk it anymore. This habit must continue. My mother, Maotai, Wuliangye, Langjiu, Jiannanchun, and Fenjiu, buy as much as you can, the earlier the year, the better..."
At this time, he felt his clothes being pulled down hard. When he turned around, he saw that it was Yunyan. Then he saw that the four of them were looking at him with their eyes wide open, their mouths wide open.
He smiled and said, "It's very profitable to dig medicinal materials to sell. Don't worry, the team is digging and selling together, and every household is digging and selling using the work break time. I also get this from the work break time, but it's much more than them."
Grandpa quickly closed the door, pointed at Long Jianhua, stared at his eyes, panting and not talking.
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "It's okay. Because the team has money, the captain was transferred to the commune, which means that the country doesn't care about this... Mom, I'll help me buy a watch in the afternoon, just look at the time."
Then I took out all the gold and silver jewelry from under my backpack, "There are some gold necklaces, gold earrings and the like here, and I took them all back. This was picked up when digging medicinal materials. It should be that a Japanese soldier died there because there was a Japanese sword."
At this time, grandma cried out, "I said that Jianhua's life will not be so easy. How many medicinal materials do you have to sell to sell so much money."
He put the bundle of money on the table and hugged Long Jianhua and cried.
Long Jianhua gently patted his grandma on the back and said after a while, "Grandma, if I don't go out to dig out the medicinal materials, how can I grow taller?"
Then he stretched out his arm and smiled, "Look, I'm much stronger now than before."
