Chapter 31 Cooking pig fat
She saw tangerine over at the county city’s supply and demand cooperative last ti and none at the community’s supply and demand cooperative. At that ti, she did not think about this as there were apples, pears, and grapes in the space and end up not buy it.
Now she regretted it.
Since she was all day at ho, the sweater knitting was naturally fast. At night they ate seaweed and shrimp congee. She worked overti on the knitting for a while and finished knitting Er Wa’s sweater.
The next day, she got Da Wa and his brothers to stay at ho. The Kang was heated and they were fully-fed. They just need to babysit San Wa. She will return as soon as possible.
She walked faster because there were three children alone at ho. Once she arrived, i Jie handed it over. She also gave i Jie a piece of soap.
Her space contained a few boxes of it. There were ten pieces of soap in a box. She got both of the laundry and bath ones.
At a glance, i Jie knew that the soap must have been bought from the county city, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so pretty and fragrant.
Naturally, she dare not accept such a good thing from her. Lin Qing He said to her: "Jie, please accept it. Don’t be polite with . Just for the bones you got for , I must thank you."
For two yuans, Chen i brought her half a jin of fatty at and half a jin of lean at. On top of that, three ribs, two large bones, and a half pair of pig ears.
This was definitely enough.
In addition to these, she also gave two jins of kerosene.
She did pay, but this quality soap was a token of goodwill for Chen i, because she could see that Chen i was a good person even though she was a little proud when she first t her.
Seeing that she was really sincere in giving it, i Jie accepted it. This kind of soap was very good to use. Without two yuans, one can’t buy it. She whispered: "There isn’t much kerosene this ti. Next ti, there’s a new batch, I’ll set aside more for you. "
"Thank you, i Jie." Lin Qing He nodded.
Bidding goodbye to i Jie, Lin Qing He put everything in the basket, covered it with a cloth, and returned ho.
Once she got ho, she took out the fatty at in the space as well to prepare for oil extraction.
"Send it over to your grandfather." Lin Qing He gave them a white bun. As for the brothers, she gave no more.
The brothers showed no hesitation when they heard that they would send it to their grandfather.
They wrapped it in oil paper, placed it in his arms, and delivered it to old Zhou’s house.
These days were too cold, Father Zhou had been on the kang. He smoked a big cigarette and felt comfortable.
"Grandpa, we ca." Da Wa and Er Wa grinned.
"Why are you two brothers here?" Father Zhou asked with a smile.
"Grandpa, this is for you to eat." Da Wa took out the oil paper from his arms and gave it to their grandpa.
"What is this?" Father Zhou paused for a mont and asked.
"Grandpa will know when you look at it." Blinking, Er Wa declared.
Father Zhou received it and then saw this was a hot white bun. Stunned, he blurted: "Where did this co from?"
"Our mother bought it," Da Wa said.
"Yesterday, Grandma ate it, but Grandpa hasn’t eaten it yet. So Mother went to buy at and bought it back. Grandpa, eat it," Er Wa explained.
Father Zhou approximately understood. Because they had eaten yesterday and he hadn’t, so his two grandsons brought it up. With that, their mother had bought it back for him.
"Grandpa doesn’t need to eat, you guys can eat it." Father Zhou felt very comforted on inside. He thought that Fourth’s wife was a good role-model.
"We have eaten." Da Wa shook his head.
"En, we ate yesterday." Er Wa nodded. Although he was also greedy, he never of eating their grandpa’s.
So Father Zhou ate his second white bun in his life.
It was as delicious as he rembered. It was so delicious that after he finished eating it, he imrsed himself in the aftertaste for a long ti.
When he regained his wits, he saw his two grandsons staring at him. Father Zhou was a little embarrassed. Such a big bun, he didn’t leave any leftover.
"Grandpa, is it yummy?" Zhou Da Wa asked.
"It must be very yummy," Er Wa said.
"It is." Father Zhou nodded. "Thank you Da Wa and Er Wa for letting Grandpa eat such yummy white bun."
Da Wa and Er Wa bead, and the brothers went back in a very good mood.
Father Zhou continued to reminisce about the taste. This white bun was more delicious than what he rembered. It was really flavourful.
When Mother Zhou ca in, she said, "Eldest’s wife said Da Wa and Er Wa ca over."
"En, they sent a white bun." Father Zhou replied.
Mother Zhou froze for a mont: "They really delivered it over?"
"They said I didn’t have one yesterday, so today their mother bought it to make it up." Father Zhou said.
Hearing this, Mother Zhou was in a much better mood and said, "Fourth’s wife isn’t so unreasonable."
"The white bun is really fragrant." Father Zhou felt a little sleepy, smacked his lips, and expressed.
Mother Zhou had no comnt because she had eaten one. It was so delicious that one swallowed their tongue.
On this side, Lin Qing He started to cook pig fat.
She took five pounds of pig fat out of the space, and with the ones brought back from i Jie, it was enough to extract a pot full of lard.
In the current weather, it will solidify on its own and not go bad. Estimating the ti, it shouldn’t be long before Zhou Qing Bai cos back. He will co back at the end of the month. She naturally had to stock up more things at ho.
As soon as he cos back, she had to be cautious, otherwise, with his sensitivity, 8 or 9 out 10 tis she would be caught. Once he cos back, she did not plan to take things out of the space.
So extracting more oil was a must.
Of course, the peanut oil jar at ho was full, too. There was still a lot left in her space.
Cooking pig fat had a strong fragrant odor. But it won’t be conspicuous now, because at distribution was not long ago and many people were cooking pig fat. So far, many people haven’t finished their at yet. They will consu it slowly. So it was normal to have a aty sll.
A full jar of lard was extracted from five jins of pig fat. And for the rest, Lin Qing He used another jar. It filled a small half of the jar.
As for the fat residue, she put it away on a plate.
When frying, she can add a little bit in. She can fry sothing fragrant, even without oil.
The three kids also like to eat fat residues. Lin Qing He didn’t stop them, but she also didn’t let them eat too much. Each got three pieces. Even then, it was satisfying.
They had millet porridge for noon. It was served with soy sauce ribs stewed by Lin Qing He, as well as fried vegetables mixed with fat residues. All three brothers were content. Lin Qing He was the sa. She felt life was pretty good.
Now the mother and sons only knew to eat all day, every day. What will they eat today? What will they eat tomorrow? The mother and sons were all foodies.
The cheerful days didn’t last a few days. After the last autumn rain, there was another autumn rain. This autumn rain also fell for a few days. This was really cold then. The temperature was probably around 4 or 5 degrees. Cold and icy.
