Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Lin Shu asked Dongfa to rest first, and she went into the kitchen to stew the ribs first.

She bought three ribs from the system mall, chopped them into small pieces and blanched them in water, then put them into a casserole, added ginger slices and simmered them over low heat.

"Aunt, did you buy lotus roots today?" Dongfa sat in the living room for a while, felt bored, and followed her into the kitchen.

Lin Shu was peeling lotus roots. When he heard Dong Fa's words, he looked up at him and said with a smile, "Yes, I met an old man carrying lotus roots on the street outside the farmer's market today. I saw that his lotus roots were fresh, so I bought a few."

"Aunt, are there a lot of farmers in the city picking vegetables to sell now?" Dongfa asked.

"There are some people who come to the city every day to pick up vegetables, but the number is not large."

These people hawk their wares on the streets, and no one seems to care.

Lin Shu felt that perhaps this was a sign of policy relaxation.

Lin Dongfa was excited when he heard this, "Next time I will bring some dried mushrooms from home and see if I can sell them."

"Are the mushrooms you are talking about the ones we picked in the first half of the year?" Lin Shu thought that it had been several months and he wondered if the dried mushrooms had any worms.

Lin Dongfa shook his head: "No, I used some of the ones I picked up in the first half of the year as gifts, and the rest are almost finished. The ones I sell are those I picked up after the autumn harvest and dried."

"Oh, that's very fresh. You can carry it into the city and try." Lin Shu washed the peeled old lotus root, cut it into pieces with a rolling knife, and added it to the casserole and slowly stewed it with the pork ribs.

She fully supports Lin Dongfa's sudden idea.

Young guys should come out and practice their eloquence and courage.

When Gu Jiu came back from work at noon, Lin Shu asked Gu Jiu to entertain Dongfa, and she went into the kitchen and started cooking.

Since there were only three people having lunch at noon, Lin Shu prepared to stir-fry some pork belly and some shredded potatoes.

Put the pork belly into the pan and stir-fry until the oil comes out. Stir-fry the meat until it is half dry. Then add chopped ginger, garlic and a spoonful of homemade bean paste. After frying until fragrant, add salt, soy sauce and other seasonings. Finally, add chili peppers and stir-fry until it is well-flavored and it is ready to be served.

The fat from the pork belly is fried and the aroma of the meat spreads everywhere, and then the fermented black bean paste and soy sauce are added and fried again, and the pungent aroma wafts out.

Now, not to mention the two men sitting in the hall, they took a deep breath and swallowed.

Aunt Cui next door is cursing directly. How can we live like this? We have sauerkraut, eggplant and potatoes at home every day, but the bastard next door has either meat or fish every day, and it changes every day. You will have diarrhea if you eat it, or you will die of diarrhea.

Lin Shu had no idea of ​​the mental breakdown of Aunt Cui next door. She fried the last bit of shredded potato and asked them to take the dishes out and prepare to eat.

Lin Shu likes dishes with strong flavors the most, and she likes fried pork belly with peppers very much. The charred pork belly is mixed with the aroma of bean paste and the spicy taste of peppers, which is very appetizing.

"Aunt, why didn't I know that your cooking smells so good when I was at home?" Lin Dongfa's appetite was aroused, and he picked up his chopsticks without hesitation when he smelled the delicious aroma.

"Before, at home, your grandmother, Comrade Liu Xiao'e, would not let me enter the kitchen. Besides, we don't have all the cooking materials such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. at home. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Do you understand?"

"Well, you are right." Lin Dongfa glanced at Gu Jiu, as if unwilling to accept it: "My uncle is still lucky."

However, Gu Jiu did not let Lin Shu eat the chili peppers at the beginning, but asked her to drink the soup and eat the pork ribs and lotus root first.

Lin Shu took a sip of the slightly sweet soup, then sucked on a piece of pork ribs that had been separated from the bones, and finally took a bite of the stringy and soft lotus root. It tasted amazing.

The freshest ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods to produce their purest flavor.

The blessed Gu Jiu saw Lin Shu eating happily and helped her pick up a few ribs. He turned to Dong Fa and said, "If you like the food cooked by your aunt, come to our house more often in the future. It's not a big deal. Looking at your unwilling expression, you thought I kidnapped your aunt."

Lin Dongfa: "......"

Didn't you kidnap my dear aunt?

Lin Shu looked at his watch and asked, "It's so late today, why hasn't An Fan delivered the goods yet?"

Normally he would come to deliver goods at noon and once in the afternoon. Today it was already past twelve o'clock and he hadn't been seen yet, so Lin Shu asked worriedly.

Gu Jiu: "I gave him a key and asked him to deliver the goods to the old house. He won't come over at noon, but he should come over to hand over to me in the afternoon."

Lin Shu nodded: "Then remember to let him have dinner here before going back."

An Fan is now working for Gu Jiu, and he refuses to pay money to that family. His stepmother and father often don't leave any food for him. When he returns home at night and there is no food left, he naturally has to go hungry all night.

After Gu Jiu and Lin Shu knew about this, they would usually let him have dinner at home before going back.

Gu Jiu agreed and looked at Lin Dongfa who was enjoying his meal. "Dongfa, don't go back this afternoon. Stay at home for one night and go back tomorrow?"

Lin Dongfa shook his head: "No, there are too many things to do at home."

After taking a half-hour break after lunch, Lin Dongfa hurried back home.

Lin Shu reminded him: "The road is full of potholes, so be careful and don't ride your bike too fast."

"I understand, aunt. This is not the first time I go back and forth to the county town, so don't worry." Lin Dongfa waved goodbye to them and rode away without any reluctance.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu laughed and scolded: "This kid just patted his butt and left after eating. He doesn't miss me as his uncle at all."

Lin Shu shook his head and chuckled: "That kid can do anything when he returns to the village, whether it's the mountains or the rivers. He can't stay in the city."

Several children were hiding in the corner and peeking, making it hard for Lin Shu and Gu Jiu not to notice.

Gu Jiu glanced at a few little heads and explained to Lin Shu: "They are all children from our neighborhood."

Lin Shu has lived here for some time. He is busy every day and rarely pays attention to the neighbors around him, let alone the children.

At this moment, seeing a few children realize that they were discovered, their heads quickly shrank back, and Lin Shu couldn't help laughing.

She took the opportunity to walk to the corner. The children didn't expect Lin Shu to walk over there, so they stuck their heads out to observe the situation again, and happened to meet Lin Shu's eyes.

"Pfft!"

Facing their stunned looks, Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh and touched the youngest girl's head. "Why are you hiding here? Do you want to get to know me?"

The children were just curious and wanted to see who this woman who always ate meat at home was. As for Lin Shu asking them if they wanted to get to know her, the children didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

So, the children stood there in a daze again.

Lin Shu looked at the silly and cute kids, his heart softened. He shook out a few candies from his pocket and gave one to each of them.

"My name is Lin Shu, you can call me Sister Lin or Sister Shu. Now can you tell me your names?"

The youngest girl had the clearest eyes. She blinked her big eyes, raised the candy in her hand and asked, "Sister Shu, my name is Mengmeng. Did you really give me this candy?"

Lin Shu's eyes lit up, "Wow, so your name is Mengmeng. I'm very happy to meet you."

This name is really right, the little girl looks so cute.

Lin Shu looked up at the other boys, "What about you? What are your names?"

Several boys stood against the wall helplessly. Perhaps Lin Shu's smile encouraged them, and one of the older boys stood up and said, "My name is Dabao."

Then he pointed to a boy with a bowl cut and said, "He's a soldier."

Pointing to the last skinny boy: "He is Ergou."

"hehe..."

Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Whose child would be given such a silly name?
