Chapter 35: tasty
Chapter 35 Delicious
Not long afterwards, Zhou Yi's father, Zhou Zhongguo, also came, and brought Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua from the next door. If Zhou Xiaoshu hadn't run over to report the letter today, Zhou Yi would not have known the danger at home in the first place, so he called them Come to eat, it should be.
Everyone sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, looking at so many dishes, couldn't help swallowing their saliva, Song Xi filled a bowl full of coarse grain rice for Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua, fearing that they would be embarrassed to add vegetables, and gave them another Picked up a lot of vegetables, said softly, "Little tree, little flower, you eat."
"Thank you, little aunt." The two children thanked Song Xi cautiously. Fortunately, Song Xi sat next to them, otherwise they would be even more nervous, especially Zhou Xiaoshu. Uncle Zhou Yi actually asked them to come over for dinner, and he cooked so many delicious dishes, such as pheasant, fish, and bacon, which was richer than everyone's New Year's Eve dinner.
Knowing that Song Xi was afraid of snakes, Zhou Yi put snake soup in front of Sheng Jiahe, far away from Song Xi. Song Xi only ate egg soup, fried sweet potato sticks with bacon, shredded potatoes with vinegar and fish head soup. She didn't eat any other dishes. bump.
Zhou Zhongguo didn't like staying with young people, he felt noisy and had no common topic, so he hurriedly ate a bowl of rice and left. Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua were young and had a small appetite, so they finished eating quickly. go home.
There were only five of them left at the dinner table. Zhou Ping sighed while eating, "Zhou Yi, I didn't expect your cooking skills to improve so much. This shredded potato is crisp and refreshing, and the diced potato is spicy and soft, so delicious."
"I didn't make these two dishes, but Xiaoxi." Zhou Yi told the truth, and after speaking, he looked at Song Xi very tenderly, and ruthlessly fed a bowl of dog food to the single dogs opposite him.
"It's delicious, very delicious, even better than that made by the chef of the state-run restaurant." Sheng Jiahe would occasionally go to a state-run restaurant to have a big meal, but he didn't expect to eat here today even better than the state-run restaurant. Things to eat.
He really envied Zhou Yi, he was so lucky to meet Song Xi.
"It's not that I cook it deliciously, it's potatoes. It's delicious if you cook it casually." Song Xi didn't dare to admit that she was good at cooking, otherwise what would happen if this group of people came to the house every day in the future, she wouldn't be a cook.
After a meal, Song Xi felt that Zhou Yi and his friends were really good people. When they were together, they didn't talk about nasty jokes. You must know that men like to talk about women when they are together. They are so wretched, but here, they are not like this, and the eyes of several people are very simple and pure, and they look like kind-hearted people.
Song Xi is also not willing to associate with people who have a heart. There will be no danger in associating with people like them.
Moreover, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is always right to have a good relationship with good neighbors and friends, not to mention that little 'Song Xi' has no distant relatives, and those in the Song family are all demons.
"Eat slowly, I'm full." Song Xi returned the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and soon brought over several cups of green tea. Drinking green tea in summer can clear away heat and relieve fire.
When Song Xi came over with tea, she happened to hear them talking about frogs. She handed the bamboo cup to a few people, sat down next to Zhou Yi, and asked curiously, "You were talking about frogs just now, what's wrong with frogs? Is there any problem?" ?”
"We said to catch some frogs to eat at night." Zhou Ping explained.
Song Xi knew that people in poor times ate everything, especially in the past two years, grass roots, leaves, grasshoppers, and bugs, so it was actually quite normal to eat rats and frogs.
The original little 'Song Xi' was acceptable, because everyone survived like this, but now she is the modern Song Xi, so she can't accept eating wild game, but she will not look down on others, because she You know, it's not easy for everyone.
"Materials are in short supply. The supplies in the non-staple food stores in the city are very tight. It is also difficult for city people to buy food and fresh vegetables. Even if they have money and tickets, it is useless, because the daily supply is so much. Since you With good skills, you can catch frogs, so why not talk to the non-staple food store about cooperation? Frogs are also a meat dish! Or go to the commune’s market and purchase station to try, maybe you can increase your income.” If it weren't for the fact that these people had a good relationship with Zhou Yi, she wouldn't have reminded them.
Nowadays, private business is speculative, and it’s digging into the walls of socialism, but there are still bazaars allowed by the superiors, and farmers are allowed to trade with agricultural products, otherwise the peasants will starve to death. Who will grow food? I also have my own considerations, some things are not so perfect, but in a year and a half or even two years, the market may not exist anymore.
It doesn’t matter that the market no longer exists. There is also a night market. People in the city need to eat. If they are not full, they will naturally find other ways, so the night market will always exist.
They didn't know that there was a bazaar allowed by the higher authorities in the commune. Maybe it was because the news was too closed, and everyone didn't have channels to know about the outside world. Little 'Song Xi' certainly didn't know about it, but she, a modern Song Xi, after knowing the history, she naturally knows some of the situation, and she has already inquired about the situation from Li Qingqing last time.
In the future, if you don’t know anything, you can ask Li Qingqing.
Zhou Ping frowned, and could kill a fly, "We tried to sell frogs before, but unfortunately we couldn't sell them. It's too troublesome to deal with. People in the city have jobs, and no one wants to spend money. Time to deal with this."
When he first thought the frog tasted good, he went to the factory near the city and tried to sell the frog to those who had wages in the city. No matter how cheap it was, no one wanted it.
"Do people in the city think it's troublesome to deal with?" Hearing this, Song Xi pursed her lips and frowned. After a while, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of some good idea, "Then you guys tonight Go grab some, and then wash it and cut it up tomorrow morning, and bring it here, I have a method here, we can try it first, if it doesn’t work, we will think of other methods.”
"Okay." Zhou Ping, Sheng Jiahe, and Mo Jiaxiang looked at each other, and the naked eyes could see that their expressions brightened. Song Xi must have read books, so she must know more than them. Maybe she really has a good idea. !
Song Xi thought for a while, and then said, "You'd better come here at four or five o'clock, otherwise you will be in trouble if you come here at dawn and be seen by the villagers."
"Okay." Zhou Ping rubbed his hands excitedly, a little eager to try, who doesn't want to make money to build a house and marry a wife, he also wants to, especially seeing that Zhou Yi has married such a good wife, he can't wait.
