Chapter 42 He's Mother is Returning to Beijing

The next day, Su Zhuzhu got up early, cooked pumpkin porridge in the pot, and then went out to look for Ping An.

He's mother and Lin Wu are about to return to Beijing. Su Zhuzhu wants to prepare more delicious food for them, and also bring some for Grandpa He and Uncle He, so that Aunt Yang can also taste it.

Su Zhuzhu asked Ping'an to find someone to catch more eels, loaches, crayfish, snails, snails, fish and other things in the next two days, and also lotus roots and lotus seeds. Sister Ran really likes the honey glutinous rice lotus root she made.

When I got back to the educated youth institute, the pumpkin porridge was just cooked. I took eggs and flour, chopped green onions, and made a dozen egg and green onion pancakes. I took the eggs that had been stewed in the iron bucket and rinsed them with cold water. I cut some pickled mustard tubers, sprinkled them with chili and balsamic vinegar, and mixed them. A delicious and nutritious breakfast was ready in just the right time.

Su Zhuzhu is going to work at the clinic today, so Lin Wu doesn't have to go to help. After breakfast, Su Zhuzhu took out some money and asked Lin Wu to buy some pig's trotters and pig's intestines, and also to buy more lunch boxes, the bigger the better. When Lin Wu heard this, he thought this was what he liked, and drove out with joy in his heart.

Lin Wu came back with two large pig's trotters and two pairs of pig intestines. Without being told, he washed them clean and waited for Su Zhuzhu to come back and cook.

Ping'an kept bringing things over today, either crayfish or fish, and there were also quite a few snails and other things, and the quantities were quite large. He said it was Su Zhuzhu's order, so he just had to deliver them.

He's mother didn't go out, but stayed in the kitchen to slowly deal with these things.

Lin Wu had nothing else to do, so he took the rope and went into the mountain, planning to bring back some game before leaving.

So when Su Zhuzhu came back from get off work at noon, she found a lot more food, but she was very satisfied. After tonight there should be eels and loaches, which would be easier to catch at night, so she would process these first.

At noon, Su Zhuzhu made another spicy crayfish meal. She fried the previously marinated fish body in oil until it was crispy, then sprinkled it with chili peppers, chili powder and seasonings, simmered it in boiling water for a few minutes to dry up the soup, sprinkled it with garlic sprouts, and stir-fried lentil shreds, plus a loofah and egg soup. The loofah was in season this season and was extremely sweet.

After lunch, Su Zhuzhu did not take a nap, but hurried to the big camphor tree to find Uncle Li.

She told Uncle Li clearly that she wanted to make two boxes, of different sizes and light weight, so she asked Uncle Li to think of a way to make the wood. It didn't matter if it was a little thin, and it didn't matter if it looked good. She agreed to come and pick it up tomorrow, so Su Zhuzhu returned to the Youth League Institute, told He's mother that she had something to do at the clinic, and left first.

In fact, Su Zhuzhu took advantage of the fact that no one entered the clinic at noon and found a few inconspicuous thin quilts, cut them into the size of the wooden box, and then put them inside the box for insulation.

I looked for some seasonings and hot pot ingredients and took them out first. Today I will make the spicy crayfish, braised pork intestines, spicy snail meat, spicy iron snails, spicy rabbit meat cubes and salt-baked chicken that need to be put in the freezer, and put them in the space freezer at night. Tomorrow I will seal it in an insulated box with nails. This way, these things will not go bad when we get to Beijing, and they will not be able to be seen as frozen.

In order to prepare these things in advance, Su Zhuzhu left work two hours earlier today, and Liu Yuanyuan also took a leave to go back early to help.

The three women were busy washing and scrubbing before all the ingredients were prepared. They also washed the new lunch boxes and took them outside to dry.

Seeing that He's mother had just finished chopping the onions, ginger, garlic and a large amount of chili peppers for the ingredients, Liu Yuanyuan immediately turned on the fire, and Chef Su began to work vigorously.

First, take out the braised pig intestines and give them to He's mother to cut. Then clean the pot and start frying crayfish. After frying the crayfish, stir-fry the iron snails and snail meat. Unfortunately, they were not finished in the past few days. Together, they are probably only about three or four pounds.

After all these were out of the pot, they started to make the spicy diced rabbit meat. Four rabbits were a big portion. The wild rabbits caught by Lin Wu were fat and large. The fire was strong enough with the firewood, so Su Zhuzhu had to cook it in two pots.

The chopped braised pork intestines are easier to deal with. Just add mashed ginger and garlic, soy sauce, salt, chili oil and mix well. When you are ready to eat, take out, heat it up, and sprinkle with coriander and chopped green onions.

When Lin Wu came back from the mountain, his eyes sparkled as he looked at the large and small pots of delicious food in the kitchen.

Su Zhuzhu went to count the game they had brought back and was really shocked. It turned out that Xiao Wu had not been paying attention in the past few days. There were a lot of them, nine rabbits, and even more pheasants, sixteen! There were also a few large birds that she didn't recognize, each weighing about two kilograms.

"Brother Xiaowu, you must have made trouble today. There are so many of them. It's usually hard for us to see pheasants and rabbits when we go up the mountain."

"I went deep into the mountains to hunt, there's a lot. I was afraid that they would go bad if I didn't finish them, so I went out to hunt a little every day. We're leaving tomorrow, so I hunted a lot for you to eat. The temperature has obviously dropped in the past few days, so they're easy to preserve. I also have two rabbits and five pheasants that are still alive, kept in the backyard. If you want to eat them, just kill one."

Su Zhuzhu looked up and saw Lin Wu already eating the crayfish, so she quickly brought him a set of bowl and chopsticks so that he could have a little bit of the delicious food.

Let’s make something quick for dinner today, as there are so many rabbits and pheasants to clean up later.

A large pot of stir-fried pork with peppers, shredded potatoes with vinegar, scrambled eggs with beans, and a tomato, egg and minced meat soup. The braised pork intestines that had just been mixed were placed on a plate, sprinkled with fried peanuts and coriander, and the four of them had dinner happily. At the end, there was a little soup left from the stir-fried pork with peppers, so Lin Wu also poured a bowl of white rice into it and ate it all up.

We had an early meal today, and everyone gathered together to collect rabbits and pheasants. Su Zhuzhu kept one rabbit and two pheasants for the time being, and killed the others. She kept two rabbits to make a portion of spicy rabbit meat cubes for Sister Ran and Lin Wu to eat on the road tomorrow morning, and the remaining six rabbits were pickled with coarse salt. The weather had turned cooler, so they could be made into cured rabbits.

The same goes for pheasants. Three salt-baked chickens have already been made in the space, and another one will be made tomorrow for eating on the road. The remaining thirteen pheasants will also be made into cured chickens and sent to Beijing when they are ready.

After finishing all these things, everyone was smelling of oil smoke, and everyone took turns to take a shower so that they could rest early.
