After being forced to marry a butcher

Chapter 80

After Li Qingshan left, Li Lerong carried a small basket and called the willow fish to pick green beans and eat them together.

He said that green beans are actually when soybeans are "young", and it is not yet the time to pick green beans. So instead of taking a sickle, they went to the bean field to pick up some round pods and picked them off.

There were two small baskets after picking them. Li Lerong said that when he went home, he peeled the beans and rice, smashed them with a stone mortar, and fried fresh bean dregs with green peppers to eat.

It's rare to have a vegetable that he grows that he can eat. It's a pity to eat it like this. Anyway, he has a lot of free time now, and Liu Yu is going to marinate it for a try.

It took a while to wash the fluff on the pods with clean water and salt. For better taste, use scissors to cut small corners from both ends of the green beans.

Star anise, cinnamon, Chinese prickly ash, red hot pepper, ginger and garlic are sautéed until fragrant. Pour in the green beans and stir fry, add soy sauce, salt and water, bring to a boil on high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for two quarters of an hour. People get hungry.

Take out one of the willow fish and taste it. It is fresh and spicy, and the shell is full of juice after taking a bite. The bean aroma of green beans mixed with the aroma of brine forms a very unique taste. After just one bite, the willow fish will definitely know Li Qingshan. I like the taste.

"It's not bad!" Liu Yu turned her head and said to the old lady Guan who just came in from outside.

The old lady Guan tasted it and praised: "It's not bad, it tastes the same as the one sold outside.

" Shopkeepers carry boiled salted green beans, snails, etc. to sell in the streets and alleys.

She tasted the cooked willow fish now, and even thought it was better than what she had eaten back then.

The willow fish was very happy to hear that, fearing that the bean pods would change color after soaking for a long time, so they quickly took them out and spread them out on a basket to dry.

These marinated green beans had just cooled completely, when Liu Yu heard the voice of Cong Chunhua talking to the neighbors outside.

Liu Yu greeted him, and waved to Li Qingshan who was still on the street. Li Qingshan saw him, showed a big smile, told Cong Chunhua, and led the mule home first.

"Look!" As soon as the mule cart settled down, Li Qingshan lifted the lid of the wooden basin to show Liu Yu as if offering a treasure.

Willow fish took a closer look, and it turned out to be a big and fat grass carp. Because the wooden basin is too small, it can't be opened, so it seems quite quiet.

However, when Li Qingshan lifted it up, it became more "lively".

Wash the grass carp fillets into fillets, add salt, spice powder and some wine to marinate first. Stir-fry minced ginger and garlic until fragrant, add pickled cabbage and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the fried fish head and fish bones, add water to boil out the soup base, remove the fish head and fish bones, then add fish fillets and blanched sprouts, after the pot, Spread a layer of minced garlic and coriander on top of the fish. Heat the pot on high heat, pour hot oil, fried peppercorns and red chili peppers directly on the surface of the fish, and the aroma will go straight to the nose, which is really craving.

Liu Yu couldn't wait to go back to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks to prepare the meal.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing, looked up at the sky, it was still early in the evening. Right now, it's neither hot nor cold outside, and when he was comfortable, he thought he could just eat in the yard. So, put down the marinated green beans on hand, and went back to the house to move the tables and chairs.

The dry and spicy aroma of red chili is intertwined with the sour aroma of sauerkraut. Just smelling the taste makes the mouth water. Take a sip of the fish soup with a small spoon, and the overbearing hot and sour taste instantly swept over the tip of the tongue, making people eager to pick up a piece of fish with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths.

The fish is tender and smooth, and it is full of sour and juicy juice after one bite, which stimulates the taste buds and whets the appetite.

With this hot and sour fish, Liu Yu ate more than two bowls of rice in one sitting, and was so happy that Cong Chunhua was like something. If he was not afraid that he would still want to add more rice to him, "I have to do it now." Eat more! It's so fat!"

Otherwise, I won't be able to eat until I get a reaction; my stomach is getting really big, so I have to control my food intake, and I can't eat openly.

Willow frowned.

After eating and drinking enough, I began to discuss with Li Qingshan and Cong Chunhua about adding marinated green beans to the shop, "The spices of stewed green beans are much less than that of stewed meat, and green beans are not expensive. It is still a side dish, and I will give more when the time comes The people who buy pork head meat in our shop recommend it, I think it should be able to sell well and make a lot of money." The

hot pork head meat tastes greasy, and everyone who comes to the store calls for cold salad. It can be predicted from this that their cooked cut shop is probably only in business during the relatively hot period from the end of spring to the beginning of autumn, so they must maximize their profits in these few months.

As the weather gets hotter, the amount of pork head meat sold should increase, but the amount of pork head meat will decrease accordingly. So Liu Yu thought about adding some stewed vegetables, and when the various side dishes came down next month, he would add some jelly and cold dishes to sell together.

He is extremely smart, and his ideas are well thought out, how could Li Qingshan and Cong Chunhua not listen to him.

The matter was finalized, and because the green beans were only available for half a month, after eating, Cong Chunhua hurried out to find soybean growers to collect green beans from them.

Although dried soybeans cost less than two cents per catty, they are seasonal vegetables when they are fresh and tender, and they can be eaten for only a few days a year, so the price is more expensive than dried soybeans. Bringing pods is also suitable for the price in previous years Two texts are more than one catty.

Cong Chunhua bloomed at two cents, and the price was just right, not to mention that it saved me the effort of going to the county town to sell things. How could these people not want to.

There are still few green beans that can be picked now, Cong Chunhua went to three houses to collect 50 catties, and let them pick them tomorrow morning.

After the matter was settled, Cong Chunhua hurried back home without stopping.

After closing the shop today, she went to several cloth shops to buy such a soft cotton cloth, which she will use to make diapers for her future grandson!

In fact, in the village, diapers are usually cut from old clothes and sheets, but this is their first child, and they don't always want to use old things for their children, so Cong Chunhua went to buy the most expensive and softest ones. Come calico.

Even so, Mrs. Guan and Cong Chunhua were worried about the delicate skin of a child. While cutting the cotton cloth, they discussed that they should rub and wash it ten times to make it softer and softer.

Li Qingshan and Liu Yu looked at each other and smiled, the baby is still more than eight months away, so there is no such rush, so we are preparing these now.

However, they were not much better, one was drawing patterns to be embroidered on the child's quilt, and the other was chipping wood to make toys for his child.

The whole family is looking forward to the arrival of this new life.

But the world has always been like this, some people will be born, and some people will leave forever.

...

The next day, Cong Chunhua marinated the green beans according to the method Liu Yu told her, and specially filled a large bowl with a large bowl and put it in front of the cooking window for people to try.

Sure enough, most people love this taste and buy everything they have tried.

You can buy it for four cents a catty, and you might eat it for a long time, especially if the owner of the shop on this street likes it, so you can eat it when you are free.

The owner of the restaurant, Huaqie, who is next to Shuqie's window, is very happy. Since Li's Shuqie shop opened, his business has improved!

This made him very motivated, and he was determined to brew a new kind of wine, which in turn would drive the Li family's business.

This is something.

After closing the shop and finishing work, Li Qingshan and the others went home, only to learn that Li Qingshan's great-grandfather had just left.

...

This grandpa is Li Qingshan and the others who bought the food earlier, he is Li Qingshan's cousin, and he is sixty-eight years old this year.

"After sacrificing the old lady a few days ago, he said every day that he saw the old lady waving at him. I didn't take it seriously. It seems that he was really called by the old lady!" Grandpa Li said. The eldest daughter-in-law wiped her tears and said.

Although the old man is about sixty or eighty years old, he has always been able to eat and drink, and he has not suffered from any illness. Who would have thought that he just took a nap and passed away so quietly.

People who don't like to cause trouble for others all their lives will be the same when they come to an end. It is inevitable that they will be called children's sad and sad.

But at this time, everything has to be taken care of, and there is no time to cry.

Seeing Cong Chunhua in the crowd, Grandpa Li's eldest son, Li Da, asked her if she was still ready for the meeting.

There was no need to ask before, but now everyone in the village knows that Cong Chunhua has to go to the county shop to work every day, so she may not be free.

The incident happened suddenly, and it may not be easy to hire a cook elsewhere. They are all close, so Cong Chunhua agreed without thinking.

Other men in the Li family helped to set up the mourning hall, Li Qingshan had a mule cart, he went home and told Liu Yu, found a filial belt and tied it around his waist, and took his filial son to the county town to buy things for funerals, and gave them to his nephew along the way The married woman and her younger brothers reported the funeral.

Cong Chunhua discussed the meeting with everyone in Li's family, then hurried home, found the red cloth, quickly got a belt and asked Liu Yu to change it, "You don't go out these few days.

" Chong, it would be bad if he was hit.

Liu Yu nodded, and together with Cong Chunhua tore off the Spring Festival couplets pasted at home during the Chinese New Year.

When something like this happens, it will inevitably make people feel heavy.

When it was very dark, when Li Qingshan came back, Liu Yu ordered him a bowl of noodles, but he didn't even have an appetite.

"When I was young, my grandpa often told me about my father."

When his father died, he was already eight years old and he could remember nothing. The adults were afraid that he would be sad, so they never mentioned anything about his father in front of him after that.

Only the grandpa often told him to remember his father, not to forget his father, and always told him about his father's childhood. He had obviously heard it many times, but he couldn't get enough of it.

It was one of the few comforts when he missed his father at that time.

Liu Yu's heart was sour, and she reached out to grab his hand.

Li Qingshan held it back, and said to him in a very soft voice: "In this world, there is one less person who watched Dad grow up."

Liu Yu stood up, hugged him, stroked his head and said softly: "Other people in this world will leave, but I and our children will always be with you."

Li Qingshan looked up at him, finally smiled, then rubbed his head against his waist, and replied, "Yes. "
