In the book, I was fed by my sister

Before Song Li reached the entrance to the mountain, Song Ran, who was chasing her, grabbed her by the collar and said, "Who told you to run into the mountains?" Song Ran was sweating profusely and her heart was pounding. Many people in the village had accidentally died while running into the mountains, and she was scared just thinking about it.

"Sister just said that we are not allowed to play in the water, but she didn't say we can't go to the mountains." Song Li blinked her big eyes, trying to defend herself.

"Stop quibbling, go home!" Song Ran said sternly, pulling Song Li's collar with one hand and wiping the sweat off his face with the other. The mountains are full of dangers, and many adults die there every year. If a village child runs wild in the mountains, nine out of ten times he will never be found again.

Song Li took a look at the mountain in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, "My dear mountain, wait for me next time."

Song Li looked at her elder sister who was pulling her hand and walking angrily in front of her, and quickly said, "Sister, don't be angry. I thought that after going to the mountains with you twice last time, I could go into the mountains. I will be obedient and not go in again."

Song Ran was angry and distressed. How could her younger sister, who had never been out alone, understand the dangers of the mountains? She stopped and squatted, patiently explaining: "Because I can protect you, but you are a child and cannot go into the mountains alone, remember?"

"I've remembered it. Then I'll go to the hall to play?" Song Li asked tentatively in a low voice. He remembered that the big banyan tree had a lot of vitality. Since he couldn't go to the mountains, it would be nice to go and absorb the essence of the tree.

Song Ran stroked Song Li's hair, looking at such a well-behaved sister, and regretted whether he had been too angry just now. "Okay, remember to get along well with others, and if you are bullied, run home quickly."

Song Li arrived at the hall. A large banyan tree with lush branches and leaves provided a large area of ​​shade. Many children from the village gathered under the tree.

Several five or six-year-old girls saw Song Li coming over and looked her up and down. Among them, a little girl with a red ribbon asked, "Are you Song Ran's sister?"

Song Li nodded and looked around. She recognized the fat girl squatting in the distance playing in the mud. Her name seemed to be Li Zi.

"My name is Song Li." Song Li gave her full name first. She remembered her elder sister's advice - to be kind to others.

The fat girl also saw Song Ran and wanted to come over, but the little girls quickly turned around and said to her fiercely, "Fatty, you can't come over here!"

The girl with the red ribbon continued to ask Song Li, "Song Li, right? Do you have anything to eat?"

Song Li took out the peanut candy that her elder sister had given her, and several little girls took them away.

"Any more?"

Song Li shook her head.

"Remember to bring candy tomorrow, or we won't play with you. Come on, let's go play hopscotch."

Song Li frowned. What kind of rule was this? Besides, she didn't want to fool around with someone of her age, so she replied, "There's no candy for tomorrow."

The little girls were a small group in the village. It was the first time they encountered a newcomer with this attitude, and the girl with the red ribbon who led them couldn't help but feel displeased.

"You can play by yourself. We drew this square, so you are not allowed to play. We are going to play hide-and-seek under the big banyan tree, and you are not allowed to get near it."

Hong Xi Luo kept saying no several times. Song Li looked up at the sky and sighed, "How noisy."

It seems that it is difficult to be kind to others.

Li Zi mistakenly thought that Song Li was also isolated, so he bravely took small steps towards her.

Seeing this, the little girl with the red ribbon immediately stood in front of Li Zi and said, "You are not allowed to play with her! I allow you to play with us today."

When Li Zi heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but finally ran happily to find the girl with the red ribbon.

The banyan tree is still a hundred years old. Song Li lies alone on a big rock under the banyan tree, feeling its strong vitality. The sunlight shines through the leaves on her body, making her feel very comfortable.

Several little girls were having a great time playing hopscotch and hide-and-seek. The little girl with the red ribbon looked at Song Li from time to time, and seeing that she was still unmoved, she became even angrier. She announced: "No one is allowed to talk to her from now on!"

After a while, the boys in the village came running over with their upper bodies naked and their hair wet. They found a few girls playing there, so they shouted, "Get out of the way, this land belongs to us now."

"Li Guan, are you ashamed of yourself? Stealing things from girls."

Men and women at this age are incompatible with each other. Only when they grow up a little bit will they understand the importance of men and women being on guard.

After hearing what Li Rongrong said, Li Guan was not angry, but laughed triumphantly. He said provocatively: "Li Rongrong, how come this piece of land is yours! Will it respond if you call its name?" After that, he splashed water on Li Rongrong, causing the boy behind him to laugh.

The two sides started to argue with each other. The boys were a little older, otherwise they would not be able to beat the girls of the same age. Soon, the girls were at a disadvantage.

Li Rongrong's red ribbon was torn off. She cried in grievance and said, "Li Guan! I'll tell my brother. You wait!"

Li Guan didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said, "Oh, I can't win, so I'm crying. Lululu."

All the girls ran away. Some boys looked at Song Li lying on the stone and walked over to ask, "Who's new here?"

Someone nearby answered, "It seems to be the sickly person from the Song family."

"Maybe he's taken too much medicine and has become stupid. He doesn't even know how to avoid the sun."

"It's over. How come there is a second fool in our village?"

"You will marry this fool as your wife in the future."

"You married her..."

Song Songli looked up at the boys who were blocking her sun and said calmly, "Get out of the way."

Li Guanxin was surprised at the tone of this man's words! He beat people regardless of gender, "Didn't you see me scolding your boss just now? I don't care if you are a man or a woman." He pointed at Song Li, trying to scare her.

Li Rongrong was the leader of the girls' camp. Li Guan thought that since he had driven away the other team's leaders, the younger ones should admire him.

Thinking of this, Li Guan reached out his hand and wanted to teach this ignorant little girl a lesson.

Song Li grabbed Li Guan's ankles, kicked his stomach, and knocked him to the ground with force.

The little bully had never suffered a loss before. After being stunned for a while, he got up and wanted to fight back.

Song Li stood up and said coldly: "I'm going to beat the child." In the end times, it doesn't matter whether the other person is male or female, old or young, how to live is the most important thing, and how to live comfortably is the second most important thing.

"What?" The little bully was stunned, and didn't react to Song Li's words, but he was soon greeted with a punch. The little bully saw stars, covered his left eye and ran away, "Wow, I'll go back and tell my mother."

The remaining boys looked at each other and ran to chase Li Guan.

The world is quiet.

The sun gradually shifted, and the leaves of the century-old banyan tree became dull. Song Li stopped absorbing the water, otherwise it would start to drop leaves. She got up and walked home. When she passed by the water, she thought about the fish in it and drooled. Tomorrow she would have to ask her sister to prepare a fishing rod for her.

As soon as I got home, I saw my elder sister and Grandma Gu squatting beside a wooden basin, washing pig intestines.

"Why don't you play anymore?"

Song Li frowned as she looked at a basin of smelly intestines wrapped in flour.

"Your grandmother brought this back from the market today. You're still complaining about it. It tastes so good when you eat it. There's also warm black plum soup on the table. Go drink it if you're thirsty."

Song Li held the black plum soup and drank it in small sips.

"Did you make any new friends today?"

"Uh-huh."

"Who?"

Song Li thought for a moment, "Li Zi, Li Rongrong, Li Guan."

Song Ran was worried that his sister might be a loner, but he didn't expect her to make three friends right away. "Get along well with them."

"it is good."

When Li Rongrong got home, she hugged her elder brother and cried.

"Oh, little ancestor, what happened?" Li Rongrong's elder brother Li Xingxing asked distressedly.

"Li Guan bullied me!"

"It seems that the lesson I gave this brat last time was not enough. Come with me, little sister. I will go find him."

Li Guan, who was running home to complain, was intercepted halfway.

*

The Song family courtyard.

"Your sister was willing to use flour to wash it. In the past, I used to rub it with plant ash. But flour can wash it really clean."

"I bought this flour a long time ago. Besides, what's the point of this little flour? It's you who spent the money, grandma. I'll cut half of it and steam it, and stir-fry the rest. I'll braise the pork liver."

"It's all right. Let's listen to Chef Song." Grandma Gu said quirkily, "After the graphite is washed and dried, we can start grinding it into powder."

"I'll cut the large intestine into sections and marinate them first." Song Ran cut the washed pink large intestine into sections and marinated them with shredded ginger, soy sauce, sugar and white wine.

The pig liver had turned white after being soaked in clean water for an hour and washed repeatedly.

Put the whole pig liver into the pot, add ginger slices, scallions, and a little white wine. After the water boils, the last bit of blood in the liver boils into foam. Song Ran takes it out and puts it in clean water for the last wash.

Put the liver back into the pot, add cold water and marinade. Song Ran bought all these spices from the pharmacy. Fortunately, she doesn't eat much. These spices are really expensive. Not long ago, she wanted to buy some pepper stewed pork belly. Three coins cost one tael of silver. She was so scared that she almost spilled the spices she was carrying on the ground.

After the water boils, no more firewood is added. The pork liver has to soak in the soup for an hour. During this time, Song Ran goes to grind the steamed flour.

Song Ran stir-fried brown rice and rice with various spices to make the steamed pork intestines. She planned to grind more so that she could steam pork belly and spareribs in the future.

The first time the stone mill grinds the material, it is not fine enough, and it takes three times of grinding to make it fine. A small bowl of powder is ground out.

Song Ran rubbed his sore arm and said, "It's really troublesome. I'll buy a donkey when I have money in the future."

Pour the powder back into the pot and stir-fry.

After the fried food has cooled, put it into sealed jars for storage. Song Ran divided it into two jars.

Pour the rest into the marinated pig intestines.

"It's a pity that the pumpkin is not yet ripe, otherwise I could put some on the bottom and steam it together."

Put the pork intestines and rice into the steamer.

Song Ran added baking soda to the remaining pig intestines and washed them again, and tore off the fat on them bit by bit. Steamed pig intestines need to have a soft and glutinous texture, while stir-fried pig intestines need to have a crisp texture. Adding baking soda is to make them crispy and chewy when stir-fried.

When the liver was almost done in the marinade, Song Ran took it out and let it cool down. Only when the liver is cooled down can it be chewy.

While it was cooling down, Song Ran said to Grandma Gu who was cooking the fire, "I have to fry the pig intestines. Raw ones will release water easily. Grandma, please turn up the heat."

The stove is on fire, and water dripping from the iron pot now turns into water droplets without even sticking to the pot. Pour in rapeseed oil, wait for the oil to smoke and add the pig intestines. The pot immediately crackles and Song Ran stirs it quickly. When the water evaporates, pour in the garlic slices, black beans, cornus officinalis, ginger slices, pickled radish slices and stir-fry until fragrant, then add salt and pour in old soy sauce for color. Finally, stir-fry a handful of water celery until it is cooked and then serve.

Song Ran opened the steamer and poked the steaming rice with chopsticks.

"This timing is just right. Grandma, you chop the cucumbers while I cut the liver."
