During the day, Zhao's Chamber of Commerce collected a lot of dried vegetables, so the dishes for dinner were mainly dried vegetables.

If dried vegetables want to be delicious, they must have enough oil and water.

Wang Meilan blanched the Harappa bones and backbones she had saved from braised wild boar before, and made them into sauce bones.

When frying the soy sauce bones, Wang Meilan put dried vegetables inside.

Even refrigerators are not widely available these days. Zhao Jun's family relies on pickles, dried vegetables and autumn-stored vegetables for three meals a day for five or even six months out of the year.

In life, people continue to innovate and learn from each other, making the methods of pickling and drying vegetables more and more diverse.

Just like drying eggplants, you can cut them into pieces and wrap them in plant ashes to dry them. When it's time to eat, you can use them to stew potatoes.

You can also ripen the eggplants first, then tear them apart and dry them. The dried eggplants will taste great when stewed with fish.

In addition, you can also use a knife to cut along the large end of the eggplant. When cutting, you are very particular about which knife can and cannot cut.

After cutting in this way, the whole eggplant will be cut into long eggplant shreds that are only as thick as chopsticks.

Of these three types of dried eggplants, the most popular is the one that is dried first and then sun-dried. However, there are not many dried eggplants of that kind. They are quite large and become thin slices after drying.

And because it is ripe, the eggplant has more moisture, so it is not easy to dry out when exposed to the sun, and it is easy to grow hair and deteriorate.

The living conditions of the people in Xishantun are not good, so they do not have the kind of dried eggplants. The dried eggplants received by the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce today only come in two types: hob blocks and slender strips.

Wang Meilan and the others tied thin strips of dried eggplant and shredded beans into handfuls with white cotton thread, and then put them into the sauce broth to cook.

The dried eggplants and shredded beans cooked in this way are tied with cotton thread, and they are kept in handfuls in the pot. Use chopsticks to pick them out and put them on the plate.

There are few things that are not delicious when stewed with meat. The shredded beans and dried eggplant that are cooked together with the soy sauce bones have a unique flavor. Zhao Jun put a chopstick of dried eggplant into the rice, and the soup was absorbed by the dried eggplant.

Soaked the surrounding rice.

The aroma of the broth and the unique aroma of dried eggplant accompanied by the aroma of rice made Zhao Jun's appetite whet his appetite.

Yesterday, Mrs. Xie Sun promised to kill the goose to help Li Tongyun wash away the dust. When she agreed to this, Mrs. Xie Sun had her own plan.

Later, because Jie Chen disagreed life and death, Xie Sun's little plan came to nothing. But Xie Sun is a face-saving person and will do as she promised. Today she killed two big geese.

So far, not only the male geese she bought as a treat have been eaten up, but also the hen geese her family planned to keep for laying eggs.

But the goose stewed with dried potatoes is really delicious.

There are also various cold-water river fish that are dried and dried in oil pans. The Zhao family has no shortage of oil, so they focus on how to make them as fragrant as possible.

In addition to fried dried fish, there are also fried shrimp crackers and fried peanuts, which are also served as side dishes with wine.

There are not only hot dishes, but also cold dishes.

Zhao's cold dish today includes blanched dried radish.

The dried radish received by the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce today includes green radish and carrot. Green radish is mainly used to make pickles, while dried carrot is blanched and eaten with sauce.

The big carrots are dried and cut into pieces, and the meat is wrapped in egg sauce and can be eaten with rice or wine.

In addition to this cold dish, cabbage hearts and pickled cabbage hearts are also eaten with dipping sauce.

Some people jokingly claim that Northeasterners are the first in the world to eat vegetable salads. There is some ridicule in this statement, but most Northeasterners love this bite.

Today's dish contained less meat and more vegetables, but the Zhao family enjoyed it very much, especially when paired with freshly cooked rice.

The braised Daohua fragrant rice produced in the black soil is a bit oily.

The fragrance of rice flowers is in the pot and when the rice is simmering. When summer comes, no matter who is steaming rice, the neighbors can smell the fragrance of the rice in the pot.

When you eat it, you don't feel the aroma at all, but the texture is chewy.

This rice goes perfectly with any dish.

The bowl of rice in the east room is almost gone, and the rice in the west room hasn't been touched much yet.

This is because the table in the west room is occupied by men. Today, Li Ruhai didn't even squeeze in. He was sent directly to the east room to eat with the women and children.

Zhao Youcai and others drank with Zhou Chunming, but Zhao Jun was the only one holding his rice bowl and eating hard.

In the past few months, there has been a lot of fish and meat every day, and the food at home has only been the same. Zhao Jun has long been tired of eating it.

Today's dishes, whether it was the dried vegetables in the sauce pot or the large dried radish dipped in sauce, were very suitable to Zhao Jun's appetite, and he was very happy to eat them.

The only fly in the ointment was that Mr. Zhao Youcai glared at him with those small eyes, which made Zhao Jun uncomfortable.

The drinks in the West Room lasted until nine o'clock. The men sent Zhou Chunming out, and Wang Meilan loaded the things she had prepared for Zhou Chunming in the car.

There was a whole sack containing all kinds of dried vegetables, among which dried sweet potatoes and dried berries were the most numerous. This was specially given to her grandson by Wang Meilan.

After seeing off Zhou Chunming, the diners went back to their homes. Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan walked from the courtyard gate to the house, with Zhao Youcai following behind.

Zhao Jun could feel Zhao Youcai's sharp gaze without looking back.

After entering the house, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Hong and Zhao Na to turn off the TV and go to sleep. Zhao Jun returned to the west room and just closed the door when he was pushed open by Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Jun, saying: "You can handle my work immediately!"

As I said this, I have only heard of fathers doing work for their sons. This is the first time I have heard of sons doing work for their fathers.

Just because when they were drinking not long ago, Li Dayong took the opportunity to ask Li Ruhai about changing jobs. Li Baoyu said that it went very smoothly, and Li Ruhai and Liu Jinyong had already reached an agreement. From today on, Li Ruhai will become an honorable security guard.

Zhou Chunming also listened at that time, but as the leader of the forest farm, Zhou Chunming didn't care who looked at the forest farm gate. On the contrary, he found it quite interesting.

But his in-law Zhao Youcai didn't find it interesting at all. Zhao Youcai had no choice but to come find his son.

"Ah, okay... Dad, I'll do some research on what to do for you." Looking at Zhao Youcai, who smelled of alcohol, Zhao Jun agreed decisively and vaguely.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This man drinks, so you can't be the same as him. Otherwise, if you get slapped twice, can Zhao Jun fight back?

When Zhao Youcai heard Zhao Jun's words, he took it as if Zhao Jun had agreed. He glared at Zhao Jun with satisfaction, turned around and left.

Zhao Jun shook his head, took out the basin for washing his feet, poured hot water and sat on the edge of the kang to scald his feet.

When Zhao Youcai returned to the east room, Wang Meilan had already wrapped herself in bed, and the two little girls were sitting on a small bench washing their feet.

"After my daughter has finished washing, you can wipe their feet with a rag." Wang Meilan told Zhao Youcai, "When you're done, please help my daughter lie down."

"What are you going to do?" After Zhao Youcai asked, Wang Meilan took out a small notebook from his briefcase and said, "I'll take the account and show it to my son."

"Fuck!" Zhao Youcai was a little unscrupulous because of his drunkenness. He snatched the account book from Wang Meilan's hand and said, "Show it to him? Why don't you show it to me?"

Wang Meilan twitched her lips, but seeing that he had drunk too much, she didn't care about Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai opened the account book and flipped through it twice, his little eyes almost squinting, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

"What a piece of shit." Zhao Youcai threw the account book aside and said to Wang Meilan, "You can just mess around for a day."

Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai, took the account book and left the room. She went to the door of the west room and called out "son". After hearing Zhao Jun's response inside, Wang Meilan opened the door and entered the room.

"Son, look at today's accounts." Wang Meilan handed the account book to Zhao Jun as if offering a treasure.

"Oops!" Zhao Jun opened the account book and saw the number of gray skins written on it. He was very surprised and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, it's only been a few days, and they have done so many gray skins?"

Last Thursday, the Xishantun people rented 13 air guns from the Zhao family. However, the gunfire could only be done in the morning, so the Xishantun people only shot for three days.

Thirteen people shot twenty-five gray skins in three days, which is really a lot.

Squirrels are just that big, highly alert, and agile. It's not easy to hit them. It requires certain shooting skills.

"Son, you don't know." Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun: "Those people may have suffered a lot."

Zhao Jun looked at Wang Meilan and heard her say: "That group of people got up early and went into the mountains at four or five o'clock. It was almost dawn when they arrived. After they finished fighting for two hours, they went home at around nine o'clock. They said they would be home by noon.

It’s freezing.”

Five or six o'clock in the morning in the northeastern winter is the coldest time of the day. It is so cold that people call it "Ghost's Teeth". This means that if ghosts want to come out, they will have to grin with their teeth bared in the cold.

People in Xishantun get up early and go into the mountains, which is really hard work.

"Where are the guns?" Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan: "Where are the guns rented to them?"

"They all bought it." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "No one went back."

At this point, seeing that her son didn't ask any more questions, Wang Meilan took the initiative and said: "Son, there are still people who want to rent guns today, but I told them everything you said. There are a few people who I think have second thoughts.

It's quite embarrassing. But there are two boys, I think they can buy guns."

"Oh!" Hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun sighed. If he had known that the sale would be so fast, he would not have bought that batch of guns. Now the air guns worth 20,000 yuan are being sold in the warehouse, and he doesn't know when they will be cashed out.

"Mom." Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan: "Last time we rented guns for ten people, at least how many gray skins did that one shoot?"

"One piece." Wang Meilan said: "But he didn't refund it. He didn't ask for the deposit. He just gave me the ticket."

Zhao Jun nodded, and Wang Meilan asked: "Son, if you have anyone else to rent, can you rent it to them for a few days? They kept the gun after tasting the sweetness."

"It's incredible, Mom." Zhao Jun shook his head when he heard this and said, "We watched others making money, so they bought it."

"Okay, son." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "I will listen to you."

When Wang Meilan was at her parents' house, even though Wang Dabaophang was seriously ill and the family was supported by Wang Meilan, Wang Meilan always obeyed her father's advice.

Over the past year, Wang Meilan has been doing the same to Zhao Jun. Wang Meilan will listen to whatever her son says.

It can be said that among the three obediences and four virtues of traditional Chinese women, Wang Meilan only skipped the middle one.

"Mom, I went to Hebei years ago, so we have to spend the money we have as soon as possible." Zhao Jun said: "The sooner the better."

"Yes." Wang Meilan agreed, and then asked Zhao Jun: "Son, do you think this is okay? Let Xiaochen drive tomorrow and take Ruhai for a lap in Shiliba Village. Contact those mountain runners and let them
