Pick the spinach at hand, peel off the garlic cloves, get up and brush the large pot inside, put water in it, and light the stove. One dish is too monotonous. Let's make another spinach salad at night, and then fry an egg and chop it. Stir in it afterwards. In fact, adding some fried peanuts to the cold spinach will taste better. However, there is no fried peanuts at home.

Nowadays peanuts are still a rare thing. Almost no one will fry them lavishly as snacks. Even in the 1980s, the rural areas were not rich in materials. In addition, the country is now vigorously supporting national education, and generally families have a little ability. Some families sell food in a variety of ways to supply the children in the family to study. Some families have more children, and whoever goes to school requires the whole family to sit down and discuss things. But nothing can change a situation. The son of the family is the Lord.

My daughter will marry sooner or later anyway, and it's useless to read so many books.

Xu Ning’s family is different. First of all, it’s just such a child. The parents love her very much. Even if she adds a younger brother in the future, she should read and read. His mother, Qin Xuejuan, is not short-sighted, and even speaks English well. There are still a few English books in her room, but Xu Ning can't understand a word.

In Qin Xuejuan's heart, men and women are equal and both have the right to enjoy education.

The water in the pot was tumbling, she put the washed spinach in, stirred it with chopsticks for a while, but took it out, put it in a porcelain basin prepared in advance, soaked in cold water, waited for it to cool and then held it. To dry the water, just stir it with garlic mash after cutting it. Add a few drops of sesame oil, the taste will definitely be better, and it will be refreshing and refreshing.

Xu Ning can cook. After all, she has done it by herself for decades. However, she does not have the skills of a hotel chef. Otherwise, she would not have to look for work everywhere and be turned away. However, the taste of her family is still I can be satisfied. At any rate, I was watching the chefs frying for several years. The hotel is in charge of the meals, but also the three meals from lunch to supper. Breakfast is not needed for her, so the meal in the morning They were all made by Xu Ning in the two small courtyards of his old farmhouse.

Thinking wildly here, the old lady outside came back with a handful of garlic sprouts in her hand.

"You planted it in the grandma's yard. We are waiting to plant some of it this year." The old lady put the cleaned garlic sprouts on the stove, and suddenly saw half a bowl of peanuts soaked in the sea bowl, which was stripped. The peanuts are huge and plump, and they look particularly gratifying.

The old lady glanced at her granddaughter and saw that she was stirring the spinach in the porcelain bowl next to her, wondering in her heart, where did the peanuts come from?

The peanuts grown at home are not so big. After all, the peanuts in the family are picked out by the old lady herself. Doesn't she know the size?

"Where did you get these peanuts?" she asked.

Xu Ning "chuckled" in her heart, but she still said calmly on the surface: "Grab it from the bag. I want to make a peanut porridge tonight. Grandma, are you angry?"

"Why am I mad at eating this? How can we have such a big peanut?" She asked this.

Xu Ning hooked her lips and continued to talk nonsense: "Maybe it has been soaking for a long time, it has swelled."

"..." The old lady didn't know what swelling was, but she could still understand the general meaning, probably because it was swelling.

Can it be soaked? The old lady really doesn’t understand. I have never done anything to add peanuts to the porridge before. At best, add some chopped vegetables or pumpkin, but if you soak it again, it can make so big?

If I didn't understand, the old lady didn't continue to think about it. It's too early now. Before making dinner, she boiled the pig food first, saving the delay in making dinner.

Seeing the verdant fresh garlic sprouts, Xu Ning said, "Grandma, I'm going to make pork belly stew with soybean sprouts, and a plate of cold spinach, plus your pickled pickles. Why don't we make another garlic sprouts?"

The old lady was not vague, nodded and said, "Just make it if you want."

Although there are already three dishes, the whole family can't finish a meal, but if you can't finish it, you can put it until tomorrow morning. It's less than May. It won't be bad if you leave it in the kitchen for a day or two. That's it.

Xu Ning had never thought before that grandma was so easy to talk. He thought that grandma would say how greedy she was. Whoever wanted to say it would agree.

She cut the green onion, ginger, garlic and pork belly, and over there Yu Chunhua had boiled the bran in the pot, and then added some chopped wild vegetables into the pot and stirred, then let it cool before feeding the pigs.

Yu Chunhua took care of the two pigs in the pigsty very well. Some people’s pigsty is very dirty, but their pigsty is very clean. Yu Chunhua has to wash the pigsty almost every two days, so even It doesn't taste great, otherwise, it's such a small courtyard, and it's really going to be smoked to death.

However, it is precisely because of Yu Chunhua's meticulous feeding that the pork tastes particularly delicious.

What Xu Ning was thinking was that when he was slaughtering pigs at the end of the year, he would discuss with grandma and make some enema to taste. After slicing, it would be steamed in a pot. At that time, a layer of mixed seasonings would be left on the bottom of the plate. The enema slices are dipped in this kind of oil to bite the salty and sweet cheeks, and it will not make people feel too greasy, and you will salivate when you think about it.

In addition, she also likes to eat pig intestines. Whether it is stir-fried with chili or cooked in a pot, it tastes good. Of course, some people are not used to the taste, so naturally it is a different matter.

As for how to deal with it, this is still very simple for Xu Ning, who has several years of experience in washing vegetables in the hotel. The cut-and-cleansing of all kinds of fish can not be troubled by her. The experience in the past has become precious in this life. Survival wealth.

Yu Chunhua knew that Xu Ning was going to cook tonight, and washed the pot after cooking the pig food.

"Watch it yourself." After speaking, she went out with a bucket of pig food and put it aside to let it cool. Then she went to the lane to bring firewood to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I think cooking should be better than my mother's. Grandma will eat more tonight."

"Who wouldn't say something nice, just don't spoil the food."

"No way."

Because it burns wood, Xu Ning’s cooking pot is prepared to take care of herself. Grandma only needs to cook the porridge in front of the cooking stove next to it. Of course, there is also a pot and fork on it for steamed buns, which is a wooden "well." The shape of the pot and fork of this shape should be careful when placing steamed buns and cornmeal cakes, so as not to accidentally fall into the rice porridge underneath during cooking, and then really don’t know how to eat them.
