MTL - Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man-Chapter 5 Braised Eggplant
Chapter 5 Braised Eggplant in Braised Sauce
"Eldest sister, did you really drive Zhou Hengyang away? In fact, although Zhou Hengyang doesn't like to answer you and doesn't like to talk, he is a nice person. But if you don't like it, elder sister, forget it!"
"You...don't object?" Su Wen asked tentatively.
Su Xiu asked in confusion: "What are you against? As long as you make the decision, big sister." She was so tired that she couldn't even walk, she sat on the ground and collapsed. On the rolled-up calf of the trousers, he stared at a leech, which was already bulging from sucking blood.
Su Wen was most afraid of leeches, so she jumped up on the spot in fright, which surprised the two sisters.
"What are leeches afraid of? When this thing is sucking blood, you can't pull it with your hands, you can only slap it hard and it will fall off." Su Xiu slapped the leech off her leg, poked it up with a branch and threw it out. Put it in the sun for a while and it will die.
"Now the fields are being transplanted, and it is normal to have leeches. I checked them before I came home, and there are no more. Sister, please sit down!"
Su Wen's scalp was numb, so she was in no mood to continue sitting. She also planted rice seedlings when she was a child, but at that time she would wear protective sleeves when transplanting rice seedlings, and there were special ones that were worn on her legs, so she was not afraid of leeches. Not now!
Thinking of this, she had an idea and found a way to make money.
Make sleeves!
"From now on, Zhou Hengyang will be your brother-in-law. I have no plan to replace you with a new brother-in-law. Well, you guys rest, I will cook."
The two sisters looked like they were about to cry, but they were still mentally prepared. No matter how unpalatable the eldest sister's cooking is, they will eat it.
"Sister, I'll help you, I can light a fire." Su Xiaomei jumped up and chased after her, looking like a dog's leg, wishing to rush to do all the work, determined not to be an idler.
*****
The Su family is indeed poor, and there are no seasonings in the kitchen, only cornmeal, and there is still a lot of oil left in the enamel jar. The only fifty-five yuan left in the family was given to Zhou Hengyang, even if he wanted to buy something.
Su Wen has been doing housework with her grandma since she was a child, and then worked hard outside alone. In order to save money, she cooks by herself, and her cooking skills are very good. While thinking about how to make delicious cornmeal, she wandered around the private plot behind the house.
The three sisters have taken good care of their private land, and May is the season when vegetables grow vigorously. Green peppers, green vegetables, and purple eggplants.
Su Wen picked a basket of eggplants, washed them and cut them into thick slices. She planned to burn the eggplants and put cornmeal pancakes on the side of the pot.
This is convenient and fast. The eggplant is cooked well, and the oil is willing to be used, which can bring out the taste of meat.
Su Xiaomei squatted on the stove to help light the fire. Su Wen moved neatly and was willing to put oil in. The eggplants were fried in the pan and burned very fragrant. Vegetables and grains are all grown naturally these days, which taste far better than later generations.
A basket of eggplants was cut in half and the rest was eaten at night. Burn a small pot, wait until it boils, stick the cornmeal paste on the side of the pot, cover the pot and bring it to a boil.
This method is most suitable for rural areas. The iron pot is large, and the firepower of the firewood is even. The food cooked is not to mention how fragrant.
Su Xiaomei has long been drooling, squatting on the ground while burning a fire, while peeking at Su Wen adoringly. It was the first time I found that the eldest sister was so powerful. She hasn't had a full meal for a long time, and she will have a big meal today.
Su Xiu was busy washing clothes with a washboard outside, and couldn't wait to smell the fragrance, so she came in with green eyes.
"Sister, what did you make? Why is it so delicious?"
"Braised eggplant in soy sauce, go wash your hands and start cooking."
Su Xiu and Su Xiaomei cheered. After washing their hands, Su Wen had already filled out the dishes and pancakes and put them on the table. Half of the corn tortilla is soaked in a rich soup, which is delicious and tasty.
"Sister, your cooking skills are great." Su Xiu didn't think it was too hot, and couldn't wait to take a bite of the pancakes. Take a bite of eggplant, it is so delicious that you almost swallow your tongue.
