Chapter 328 The worldly atmosphere (6)
That's good. No matter whether the alien soul travels through time or through a book, why should it occupy the body of a living person?
The look that Yun Daya gave her from the corner of her eye was not very friendly. Just by thinking about it, Yun Tinglan understood that she was being treated as a top-notch aunt.
Whether it is the best or not depends on one’s standpoint.
Yun Tinglan told Qi Cuixia about Second Aunt Yun's affairs. Qi Cuixia snorted and muttered, "She got it easy." She took out the key and handed it to Yun Tinglan, "Go home quickly. It's too hot here. The eggs are in the old place. Go back and cook them for yourself."
She took all three laying hens in the family, and gave the eldest and second hens three dollars each as a purchase price. She stole the eggs they laid early in the morning.
Upon hearing this, Yun Daya's face fell. What a terrible family! They kicked their son out of the house for their daughter. These old men and women were simply out of their minds.
In fact, it is good to separate the family. She can live alone with her parents and she does not need to share the money she makes with others. She has read so many period novels and can tell you all the ways to make money. After a few years of reform and opening up, even a pig can take off if it stands at the vent of making money.
Daya clenched her fist excitedly, imagining her future life as the richest man in the country, but the limp little hand shaking in front of her shattered her fantasy.
She forgot that this body was not yet an adult.
To be exact, he was only six years old, and he was only nine years old when the reform and opening up began. Without mentioning the capital and other issues, who would believe a child? Who would be willing to do business with a child?
No, we still have to start by transforming Baozi’s parents.
There is a river on the way home, which is about thirteen meters wide. However, there has been little rain in recent years, and the riverbed has been exposed. Now the river surface is only four or five meters wide, and the water is just above the ankles. You can still see a few children turning over stones in the river to touch crabs and catch shrimps.
Seeing that it was still early, Yun Tinglan broke off a willow branch and followed Lingxi's guidance to a puddle.
It is obvious that this is a bathing pit built by people. There are huge rocks to block the view, and there are many round and flat stones that can be used for sitting or putting clothes.
The original owner was weak, so Qi Cuixia never let her bathe in the river. But when Yun Tinglan was a child, she followed Sun Mei to bathe in the river. Now that I think about it, it was several lifetimes ago.
She smeared fragrant bait on one end of a willow branch, stuck it into the water, and waited for the fish to bite.
The children came over curiously and were about to laugh at Yun Tinglan for not knowing how to fish and having no bait, but then they saw a fish biting the willow branch tightly and refusing to let go.
Several children: “…”
Amid their confusion and shock, Yun Tinglan threw the index finger-sized fish into the basket. She wasn't really interested in it, but no matter how small it was, it was still meat and could be coated in flour and fried.
There was no other way. It was not appropriate to take out the carp and crucian carp in the space, so they could only give them to Qi Cuixia and the others to improve their food.
With a thrust and a flick, in just a few minutes, all the small fish in the puddle were caught by Yun Tinglan.
Some children started to doubt their lives after watching this.
As Yun Tinglan walked, they followed her and folded willow branches, imitating her way of fishing. Obviously, the effect was not ideal. Even after she walked far away, she could still hear them shouting, "No, no, she is standing here."
"Get out of the way. There must be something wrong with your posture."
……
Yun Tinglan was impatient to deal with the small fish. She only started to deal with it after Lingxi had done it. She said she was frying the fish, but in fact she was pan-frying it because there was no oil.
I could only secretly add some rapeseed oil from the space, but I didn't dare to add too much, for fear that I wouldn't be able to explain it. I left a bowl of fried fish for Song Jinhan and put it in the space. I put the rest on a plate and covered it with a rattan vegetable cover.
Wash and dry the tender sweet potato leaves from Lingxi, mix them with flour first, then add cornmeal and stir, then put them in a pot to steam.
This was picked by Qi Cuixia when she passed by her own private plot.
Anyway, given a handful of noodles, people in southern provinces can steam all four seasons into a pot, and then prepare the sauce, and either mix it or dip it in the sauce. It tastes good and saves time.
The key is to save food and fill your stomach.
Yun Tinglan went to the vegetable garden behind the house to pick some cucumbers, preparing to make some smashed cucumbers. When she saw some red tomatoes, she picked some as well. They were not big, and they were good for making scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Perhaps, worried that Yun Tinglan would go out to deliver food again, the couple came back early.
The meal was quite sumptuous, but Qi Cuixia was so distressed that she ran straight to the oil pot. She was her precious daughter, but if it was someone else, she would have scolded him to death.
But it tasted good. My daughter was good at cooking. She paused while eating and asked, "Do you cook often?"
Yun Tinglan knew what she wanted to ask. She was worried that she would be abused at her uncle and aunt's house. She knew rationally that that would not happen, but she was still worried emotionally.
"I've never done it before. I just helped pick the vegetables. Mom, what do you think of the taste? Am I quite talented?"
Really? Qi Cuixia was skeptical, but the taste was indeed good, worthy of being her daughter.
Qi's ancestors were imperial chefs, and the skills were passed down to sons but not daughters. However, she refused to accept her fate and every time her father cooked, she would secretly watch and learn. In her father's words, she was born with an imperial tongue and a keen sense of taste. She could tell the ingredients and cooking methods of food as soon as she put it in her mouth, so it would be a pity if she didn't become a chef.
Although he was willing to make an exception and teach her, he would not reveal some of the secrets of his family. In fact, at this time, it didn't make much difference whether he learned it or not, and there was no food for him to use.
When it comes to cooking skills, the old man is definitely better than her brother, but her father has a bad temper and treats his boss the same way he treats his grandson.
Well, okay, that leader is indeed his apprentice. Not letting the old man go to the county town is really for his own good. The old man has a big mouth and he always offends people when he opens his mouth. It’s better not to say anything.
On the contrary, her brother was doing very well in the state-owned restaurant in the county. She tasted the fish again and said, "It's a little old, but it tastes good. Are you craving for fish? Go to the town to find your grandfather and ask him to give you some squirrel mandarin fish. Oh, and ask your grandfather to get you two kilograms of oil."
Otherwise, with her daughter's troublesome ways, she wouldn't be able to eat many meals.
Yun Tinglan's mouth twitched. No wonder Grandpa Qi always scolded Ms. Qi Cuixia for being leaky. He took advantage of her mother's family to subsidize her own family.
Every time she went back to her parents' home, she never left empty-handed.
This is also one of the reasons why Ye Lihua was not willing to split up the family. Grandpa Qi and Uncle Qi worked in a state-owned restaurant and made a lot of money, so the Yun family could always get to eat meat.
But in fact, Grandpa Qi is very patriarchal, which can be seen from the fact that the ancestral craft is passed down to sons but not daughters.
Ms. Qi Cuixia has two older sisters. Grandpa Qi's attitude towards his daughters is that once they are married, they are like spilled water. Except during the holidays, they don't have much contact with each other.
Why did they favor Ms. Qi Cuixia? Because she could give birth to sons and even twins, a boy and a girl.
Uncle Qi had been childless for three years after marriage. Grandma Qi took Aunt Qi to seek medical advice everywhere. Finally, she got pregnant, but she gave birth to a daughter. Then, in the words of Grandma Qi, she "touched the land of daughters." She gave birth to three golden flowers in a row.
Grandpa Qi had such a bad temper that when he got drunk, he would hug his son and cry, saying that the Qi family was going to have no descendants. He also discussed with his son about adopting a child and raising him under his lap.
Aunt Qi was naturally unwilling, but without a son, she felt awkward and couldn't speak.
