Chapter 227 The chosen cannon fodder just wants to live (7)
The aunt helped deliver the things to the gate of the educated youth point, unloaded the car and went back.She also had to go back and make lunch quickly, as she was about to get off work.If she doesn't go to the fields, she must take care of the housework.
Several people moved their things back to their respective rooms.After they finished packing, the old educated youths came back one after another.
Ji Shan immediately received greetings from Geng Dong and Zheng Xuemin. These two leaders were quite responsible.Knowing that she was fine and had even finished lunch, the two of them went back to cook with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Geng Dong said to her and Zhao Hongxia: "When we come back from work in the evening, let's have dinner together. You don't have to cook dinner alone. Let us cook this New Year's meal. Then you can also try it. Try the skills of Big Brother and Sister. Let me tell you, we have been here a few years and have perfected our skills. You two should also tell Zhang Zhiqing."
Ji Shan and Zhao Hongxia smiled and nodded in agreement, but what they were thinking about was that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.No matter how advanced the craftsmanship is, it may not be able to be used in the face of poor ingredients.
In the afternoon, each of the five newcomers carried a bag of grains in their hands. Yao Zhijun also had a dustpan in his creaky nest, and rushed to the village's mill.
The journey was not very far, but everyone changed positions several times, sometimes carrying it, sometimes holding it, and sometimes carrying it. When they reached the roller, several people were speechless.
I felt a little more sad.
If you were doing farm work, it would definitely be more tiring than this, right?
But no one said much. Anyway, things were inevitable, so we had to take it one step at a time.Complaining and worrying are of no use.
But the uneasiness in their hearts still made several people fall silent.
Several people pushed the mill for a long time and ground all the grains into powder. Zhang Cuicui's hands were almost blistered from the grinding.
This is also thanks to the fact that the stick they use to push the roller has been used by the Educated Youth Institute for a long time and has been polished very smooth. If it were a new wooden stick, it would probably break the skin by now.
Ji Shan reminded them: "We are going to the fields tomorrow, so we should prepare a pair of gloves to wear."
Shen Dawei said carelessly: "I asked, we are just going to set up the film, so it shouldn't be necessary."
"Put it on if you have it. It won't hurt anything anyway," Ji Shan said.
Arranging pictures is actually very tiring. Ji Shan once saw a person who was arranging sweet potato slices all afternoon. A big blister appeared on his fingernails. After popping the blisters, within two days, the entire fingernails were completely damaged. When it fell off, it was really painful.It took ten days for the new nails to grow.
However, this is a very small probability event, and it may also be caused by the person's unskilled work and incorrect posture.
She had seen so many people, and there was only one unlucky person like that.It’s better not to scare the children by saying it.
After returning to the Educated Youth Institute, Ji Shan took out a handful of vermicelli and a few pieces of vermicelli from her Doraemon luggage bag.
Zhao Hongxia looked at what she took out and was dumbfounded.
"Why do you bring everything?"
There were pots and pans in the basket, and there was even a smooth copper bowl. It was called a bowl, right?Not to mention, there are actually vermicelli and vermicelli in the luggage bag!
"I moved here. I brought all the things I have used since childhood."
"What's that called? I've never seen it before." Zhao Hongxia asked, pointing to the copper bowl.
"Copper spin. It's used to make this kind of powder skin."
The copper spindle actually looks like a pan without a handle.It's thin and light.
When making vermicelli, you need to boil a pot of boiling water, float the copper spindle on the boiling water, put a small spoonful of thickened sweet potato starch into it, and then quickly turn the copper spindle, the starch will be spread inside to form a vermicelli, and it will solidify quickly.Take it off and spread it on the curtain to dry, and it will be a delicious food.
It can be served cold or stewed, both are good.
The pink skin made from sweet potato starch is darker in color and not particularly pretty, but it tastes good.
If you want the noodles to look good, you have to use mung bean starch.The one made is white and transparent.
Zhao Hongxia asked: "Can you make powdered skin?"
"Yes. Let me tell you, I have learned a lot of things since I was a child. Making vermicelli is one of them. I make these vermicelli with sweet potatoes. I will make them for everyone to try in the evening. If you like it, I will teach you. Make powder skin."
Zhao Hongxia: "Ah? Can you teach me?"
"Yes, why not? I learned it when I was a child and worked for an old man who made cakes. At that time, I helped him carry curtains. For a day's work, he gave me thirty cents."
This is really not her nonsense.The original owner really did this.I worked from morning to night all day long, and my whole body ached from exhaustion.
The actual curtain for drying pink leather is a large long curtain. The original owner was young at the time and it was very difficult to hold it.
The old man finished making the noodles and spread them out on the curtain. Five or six sheets of noodles could be placed on one curtain.She carried the curtain from the kitchen to the yard and placed it.
The old man lived alone in a small courtyard with no relatives and no job. Making noodles was permitted by the street.He doesn’t make it every day and doesn’t have that many raw materials.
Zhao Hongxia looked at her with admiration: "You are so awesome. You can make money by yourself at such a young age."
Ji Shan Dese, isn’t the original owner very powerful!
Not only did she hold the curtain for the old man, but she also followed the unemployed people organized by the street to do side jobs, mainly building roads, which cost 3 cents a day.
Alas, they are all forced by life!If you can live a good life without having to work, who would be willing to work hard?
Ji Shan washed both the vermicelli and vermicelli twice, and the vermicelli was used to stew cabbage.The vermicelli can be blanched in boiling water and served cold. Add some salt and vinegar and it will be delicious.
Today's salt is still coarse salt particles, the kind weighed by the kilogram, and the color is not pure white, but a bit clear gray.
Ji Shan used a little cold boiled water to dissolve the salt, otherwise she wouldn't be able to mix it with cold dishes.
During dinner, Ji Shan looked numb as she watched Comrade Geng Dong show off his old comrade's craftsmanship.
It’s just cereals, sweet potato steamed buns and pickle slivers!
Zhao Hongxia quietly said to Ji Shan: "Did Brother Geng develop the skill of pickling vegetables? Hehehehe."
This hehehe is very magical.
The key is that their pickle pickling skills are not very good either!
Geng Dong looked at the cabbage stewed vermicelli and cold vermicelli prepared by Ji Shan and the others, and smiled and said: "You are showing off your ugliness."
Not to mention, the new kids' skills look much better than them.When they said they were going to add food for everyone, he thought they were canned food or the like brought from his hometown. Unexpectedly, the two of them made a fire and stewed the food, and they were quite skilled at it.
Throughout the year, the most eaten thing in their educated youth home is pickles.As for cooking, firstly, there is no skill, secondly, there is no time, and thirdly, there are no vegetables.
Mainly because I have no skills.Every time I exchanged the dishes with my fellow villagers, I would boil them together in a paste of grains and add some salt to make salty porridge.
Swallow with your eyes closed.
Although it looks ugly, it’s actually not too unpleasant to drink.
When they had nothing to do in the winter, they would also stew cabbage and radish to eat, which they also exchanged with their fellow villagers.
"Where did you get the cabbage?" Zheng Xuemin asked.
"When I went to buy a basket at noon, the lady who sold the basket gave it to me. She grew cabbage at home." Yao Zhijun replied.
"Okay. Let's get down to business." Geng Dong ended the discussion about dinner and said: "Welcome the new comrades. We don't have many people in the Educated Youth Institute. We all help each other according to our needs. I hope the new arrivals will Comrades can also continue this good tradition and do not cause trouble or cause trouble, but they are not afraid of trouble. Although we educated youths are few in number, we cannot be bullied casually. Of course, the premise is that we do not bully others."
Another male educated youth said: "If you have nothing to do, you can listen to more stories about Xiaowangzhuang and learn some lessons."
The old educated youths laughed when they said this.
