Chapter 64 Braised beans and rice
Carpenter Liu poured a ladle of cold water on his son and wife again, which was really heartbreaking.
Mother Liu rolled her eyes, wishing she could beat her man up.
"Shut up, do you think I am as good as you? Your son is an engineer, and everyone in the village knows he is excellent. How come you have become a toad? With my third son's appearance, do you look like a toad?
?”
Liu Carpenter took a puff of the dry cigarette in his hand and really looked at Liu Mingyuan carefully.
Sincere review, "Not really."
Mother Liu snorted proudly.
"But it's almost the same." Liu Carpenter added.
Liu Mingyuan: "..." I really can't have this father, it's so heartbreaking.
Mother Liu was so angry that her head was filled with green smoke. She snatched the cigarette stick from Carpenter Liu's hand, swung it with her hand, and threw the cigarette stick onto the roof. "I let you smoke, and I asked you to say that my son is
Toad, you are not allowed to eat tonight."
After cursing, Mother Liu angrily entered the kitchen.
Carpenter Liu was very depressed, "I'm just telling the truth, why should I be so arrogant?"
Liu Mingyuan: "..."
"Lao San, go help me take down the cigarette pole." Carpenter Liu stood on tiptoe and looked at the cigarette pole on the roof, measuring the distance.
His wife was too strong to throw her so far.
Liu Mingyuan snorted, with a life-or-death attitude, "A toad can't climb that high, just go get it yourself!" With resentment towards his biological father, he went to find his mother.
Carpenter Liu: “…”

Xue Ning came back from Carpenter Liu's place and walked around the yard to admire the vegetables she had planted in the past few months.
The cucumber vine has climbed very high, and among the green leaves, green cucumbers hang down from the vine. Some are long, some short, some thick, some thin, very cute.
The beans have also matured. Under Xue Ning's careful care, the beans have grown longer and longer.
However, the sown carrots cannot be eaten yet. The current carrots are small and will have to wait another month to mature.
While inspecting the vegetables, Xue Ning also pulled up the weeds growing in the ground, and finally picked a cucumber and a handful of beans.
Then I walked to the place where the green onions were planted and pulled out a handful of green onions.
She is going to make braised beans and noodles tonight.
Wash the picked vegetables and take them back to the kitchen.
Pinch off the ends of the beans and break them into 5 cm lengths.
Mince the green onion, mince the ginger, and take out a few star anise for later use.
The most soulful way to eat braised beans and noodles is with pork belly.
Xue Ning happened to have a small piece of pork belly at home, so he directly cut the pork belly into slices.
Once these ingredients are ready, you can mix them with the noodles to make noodles.
Xue Ning beat the dough back and forth and stretched it, and soon the dough turned into long and thin noodles.
Heat oil in a pot, add pork belly and stir-fry until fragrant, then add green onion foam, ginger foam, and star anise and stir-fry together.
Stir well and add soy sauce, salt, rice wine, pepper and MSG to taste.
Finally, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, spread the rolled noodles evenly on the beans, cover the pot, and simmer until cooked.
Xue Ning took advantage of this time to make a plate of cold yellow flowers. She grew the cucumbers herself and used farmyard manure. They were much more delicious than the cucumbers produced by chemical fertilizers.
Xue Ning remembered that in the next few decades, many things would lose their original distinctive taste.
The cucumbers bought in the supermarket are long and straight and have no cucumber smell.
Stewed chicken, duck, and fish are not that delicious, and it is really difficult to eat real green vegetables.
The pot was steaming, and the aroma of the food became more intense.
When the water in the pot dries up, the braised beans and noodles are ready.
When you open the lid of the pot, the noodles are already cooked until soft.
The beans and pork belly at the bottom of the pot are also flavored with seasonings. The aroma of meat and vegetables are perfectly mixed together, making people salivate.
Stir the noodles with the vegetables at the bottom of the pot evenly, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and it's ready to eat.
A big bowl filled with noodles, noodles coated in thick sauce, beans crispy and tender, pork belly crispy, one bite, your taste buds are completely satisfied.
Xue Ning was so happy that she ate all the braised beans and noodles, not even sparing the soup.
The next day.
Xue Ning's job at work was to grind the corn kernels.
All the corn in the village has been harvested, and all that's left is to rub the corn kernels out.
In this era, there were no automatic threshing machines, so all was done manually.
Most of the methods now are to use a corn punch to punch the corn into one row, and the remaining corn kernels can be easily rubbed out with the palm of your hand.
It actually doesn't matter if you use one or two corns in this way. If you use this method to rub the corns all day long, you will definitely have to rub out a layer of skin with your palms.
After Xue Ning knew that his task was to grind corn kernels, he decisively went home and took out a pair of Jiefang shoes.
When we arrived at the corn drying ground, most of the people in the village had already found their seats and started working hard.
Xue Ning looked around, saw Zhao Xiaoqing, walked over and gave her a liberation shoe. I like the group favorite of the era, Xiaojiaojiao makes the heart of a rough guy tremble. Please collect it: (https://www.xbiquge.site) The group favorite of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao
