Finally, when Lin Qingqing left the carpenter's house, she did not exchange any food for anything, but she did exchange it for a lot of other things.
First, there were three catties of white sesame and eight catties of black sesame, but she hadn't brought the eight catties of black sesame yet, because she had asked the carpenter's wife to grind it into black sesame powder for her. This was free of charge and tickets. Lin Qingqing wanted to charge the carpenter's family five and a half taels of oil, but in order to thank the carpenter's wife for her help, she negotiated with the other party and gave them six taels of oil.
The second thing was peanuts. The carpenter's wife helped her exchange ten kilograms of peanuts and a can of peanut butter. The peanut butter was just made. The family said that if Lin Qingqing still wanted peanut butter, she could tell them and they would make it and trade with her. Because in this era, homemade food has no preservatives and is easy to spoil, so it is not durable. Lin Qingqing exchanged these things for a shoe ticket and a half-kilogram sugar ticket.
Lu Cheng's shoes were issued by the army, Lin Qingqing's shoes were either purchased or made by Lin's family, and Lu Haici's shoes were also good, so when Lin Qingqing saw that the other party wanted shoe tickets, she agreed to exchange.
Originally, Lin Qingqing only exchanged for sesame seeds and peanuts, but other people found out about the ticket exchange... and then she exchanged for three pounds of clam meat, two pounds of dried Enteromorpha, and five pounds of dried shrimp.
It turns out that this brigade has the sea just across the mountain, and they often go to the beach during the slack season. Picking up some seafood at the beach is different from hunting in the mountains. It is probably because the seafood is small, so they are not accused of stealing from the country. However, these small seafood can also accumulate into a lot.
In the end, Lin Qingqing not only exchanged almost all the unused tickets, but also took out one dollar.
But for Lin Qingqing, this trip was well worth it.
Lin Qingqing arrived here at around two o'clock, waited here for more than an hour, and returned to the family compound at half past three.
"Hai Ci..." She saw Lu Hai Ci sitting in the yard, his chin resting on his little hand. Ji Yang, who had played with him at noon, seemed to be away, and he looked a little lonely.
"Mom..." Hai Ci's eyes lit up, and he stood up and ran towards Lin Qingqing. "Mom, what did you bring back? So much."
Lin smiled gently and said, "Take it off and I'll show it to you later."
"Yeah." He watched Lin Qingqing take down the basket and the sack behind him, and then he started to pick it up. However, no matter which one it was, he couldn't lift it. So, he blushed.
Puff… Lin laughed softly: "Just leave it alone, I'll do it. Why didn't you go play?"
"When I grow up and become as big as my dad, I will be able to carry it." Lu Haici said ambitiously, "Mom is not here, the door is open, I have to watch the door. Mom, Aunt Qin came here today, and she washed the remaining pig intestines."
Lin Qingqing was a little surprised: "How come your Aunt Qin knows how to wash pig intestines?"
Lu Haici said: "Aunt Qin came to see mom, and I said mom, you go to do something, then Aunt Qin saw me washing this, and asked me, do you know how to wash it? I said use this ash, mom and dad use this ash to wash, and then Aunt Qin washed with me."
When Lin Qingqing heard this, she felt that this little kid was so well-behaved that she wanted to cry. He was watching the house alone and washing pig intestines silently. For some reason, Lin Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable when she recalled this scene in her mind. "Hai Ci, come here."
Lu Haici walked up to Lin Qingqing obediently and said, "Mom?" He tilted his little head and looked at Lin Qingqing blankly, but his eyes were very bright and there was a smile on his little face.
She held his head, then lowered her head and kissed him hard on the cheek: "Thank you, son." Lin Qingqing felt that father and mother, son and daughter, were not just a blood relationship, but more importantly, the title gave them a responsibility relationship. From today on, this was her biological son.
Lu Haici slowly opened his eyes, he was completely stunned, his mother... kissed him. Then the little kid rushed forward and hugged Lin Qingqing, "Mom, you are so kind." This little child's voice, even if it was choked with sobs, was still beautiful.
"Because Lu Haici is the cutest, most obedient and best baby in the world, that's why I will be fine." Lin Qingqing said.
Lu Haici cried and laughed as he listened to her praise.
Lu Haici is the cutest, most obedient and best baby in the world.
Lu Haici will never forget this sentence.
…
It was getting late, and it would take time to make braised food, so Lin Qingqing put the pig intestines into the clay pot first. The biggest advantage of making braised food is that you don't have to do anything, just put the ingredients in the pot according to the proportion.
However, more than 20 kilograms of pig intestines, after washing, are only about 16 kilograms. Fortunately, her money is not calculated based on the weight after washing, but based on the weight.
These pig intestines should be divided into two pots. While stewing the pig intestines, Lin Qingqing went to wash the dishes for dinner. Today she wanted to eat pumpkin with salted egg yolk, and after having peanut butter, she also wanted to eat peanut butter noodles. What should she do
Adults certainly don't have to make choices. Peanut butter noodles as a staple food and salted egg yolk pumpkin as a dish are not contradictory. So Lin Qingqing kneaded the dough first, and when the dough was fermenting, she started washing the vegetables. In addition to the salted egg yolk pumpkin, she also prepared an egg drop soup. Eating noodles and drinking soup is leisurely, and it would be better if there is also TV and cold drinks or juice.
The method of cooking salted egg yolk pumpkin is very simple, and the method of cooking peanut butter noodles is also simple. The most difficult part is the soul seasoning of peanut butter. Many people think that peanut butter can be directly mixed on noodles, which is wrong.
The soul seasoning of peanut butter is one spoon of peanut butter and one spoon of rice vinegar, then start stirring. After stirring evenly, add one spoon of cold boiled water, because after stirring peanut butter and rice vinegar, it is still very viscous, adding cold boiled water will make it thinner. Finally, sprinkle some white sesame seeds.
In the later life, Lin Qingqing often made her own soul peanut butter. A spoonful of peanut butter was about 17 grams, which was 100 calories. The calories were not high. The taste was 90% similar to the peanut butter in hot pot restaurants and steak restaurants.
This kind of soul peanut butter can not only be used to make peanut butter noodles, but it is also great for salads.
After preparing the soul peanut butter, she checked the time and saw that Lu Cheng would be back soon, so she started cooking. After the noodles were cooked, she took out the cucumbers and carrots and cut them into strips. The cucumbers were not very fresh, after all, they had been delivered two days ago. After eating these not-so-fresh vegetables, Lin Qingqing decided to go to the carpenter's house to exchange vegetables. If she went to the shore, it would be very convenient, whether at noon or after dinner. If she went to the county market, she had to choose a day off.
Lu Cheng came back from the army and saw his son squatting at the gate of the family compound again.
"Dad... hurry up, mom made some delicious salted egg yolk pumpkin and peanut butter noodles. I've already had a bite." Lu Haici seemed to be urging him, but in fact he was showing off.
Lu Cheng: “…” Today is another day when I want to spank my son.
"Look how happy your son is. This pumpkin with salted egg yolk and noodles with peanut butter sounds familiar, but we haven't tried it before. Eat it today and tell us tomorrow if it tastes good. If it does, ask your wife to arrange for the third company's kitchen to serve so we can go and have a taste."
The chief of staff who came back with Lu Cheng said, "There's nothing I can do. The proud look of the little Lu family kid is too curious."
Lu Cheng: "I'll ask for her opinion when the time comes." He knew that Lin Qingqing was a person with her own ideas, so he would not make decisions for her.
"You still need to ask her opinion? Xiao Lu, you are just like our First Division's Commander Qin. You are probably dominated by your wife, right?" There are two divisions in the whole army, and Commander Qin is the commander of the first division.
In the eyes of many people, being henpecked is a way of describing a man who is cowardly. But for a man like Commander Qin, naturally no one would say he is cowardly, but behind his back, there are people who make fun of him.
Lu Cheng did not speak, which meant neither denial nor acknowledgment. Lu Cheng felt that this was mutual respect. Influenced by his mother, he respected women. And because his aunt who took care of him was also very strong, women had a high status in his heart. However, he felt that it was meaningless to argue with the chief of staff.
The Chief of Staff saw Lu Cheng's silence as an admission. He sighed, "You know what, there are quite a few men in our army who are afraid of their wives. But there's nothing wrong with being afraid of your wife."
"Really?" Lu Cheng looked at the chief of staff with some surprise. Looking at his attitude just now, shouldn't he make fun of a man who is afraid of his wife
The chief of staff smiled and said, "If a man is afraid of his wife, it means that the wife is capable. In this way, the man can rest assured at home. No matter what, our identities are destined to make our wives worry about us, so it's good that they can stand up and be brave." You know, every time before going to the battlefield, they would do the same thing, that is, write a suicide note. When writing a suicide note, they were anxious, but determined. Anxious about what would happen to their family if something happened to them? What would happen to their wife? What would happen to their children? What would happen to their parents
But despite their anxiety, they are determined to take on their responsibilities.
Lu Cheng thought, when he was outside, would Lin Qingqing also be worried about him? Of course, she liked him so much that she used old mountain ginseng to negotiate with him. She knew that this would disgust him, but she still did it. So, she liked him very much.
Lu Cheng curled the corners of his mouth and his mood suddenly became better.
"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Lu Haici looked at his father and asked curiously.
"You're seeing things." Lu Cheng immediately pursed his lips.
"No, I'm the kid with the best eyes in the kindergarten." Lu Haici said, "You obviously smiled. I see, are you happy because you can eat the fried pumpkin with salted egg yolk and peanut butter noodles made by your mother?"
