Chapter 48 It makes people envious and jealous
Here, Tan Shaoyang cut the sweet potato vines home, spread out the sack, put down the chopping board, and started chopping pig food with a knife. His movements were quick and without any sharpness.
On the other side, Tan Ah Nai washed the pork suet, cut it into pieces, put it into the pot, and added a small amount of water to start refining the oil.
Don’t be impatient in the oil refining process, you have to take your time.
After half an hour, the oil is soaked out, and the suet becomes smaller and smaller until it becomes oily residue. If no oil comes out, the refining is complete.
The aroma of lard spreads, and the whole yard is filled with the aroma of meat.
The neighbor next door smelled it and swallowed it frequently.
“Ever since Tan Laosan started working hard, the Tan family has been smelling the smell of meat every now and then. Smelling this smell, it’s really greedy.”
“How long have you been eating steamed seaweed? The goods are ready. I went to cut two kilograms of meat and came back. I haven’t tasted the smell of meat for a long time. There is no taste in my mouth. It makes a grunting sound every now and then.”
“Isn’t it profitable to dig up sandworms tomorrow? Just go to the town to buy meat, and our family must have a meal of meat to make others greedy.”
Finally, I couldn't stay at home any longer and decided to go out for a while. If I continued to smell it, I would be drooling all over the floor.
Who would have thought that when I went out, I would bump into Tan Shaobei again. His stomach was empty and his tone was not so smooth.
"Tan Lao Er, how many days have you not finished shipping?"
"After your third son became diligent, the family is prospering! Not only building a new house, but also eating every meal Meaty, the smell wafts out, making people unable to stay at home."
Tan Shaobei looked confused and wiped his sweat with a towel. He didn't know where the sourness in his tone came from. Come.
"Where do you start talking about this?"
"You don't know that I have to worry about building a new house. Now I am in debt."
"I originally married the third child as a wife. He asked us to build a house. We couldn’t live in the house, but we didn’t have enough money on hand, so we scraped together everything and borrowed it from everyone who could.”
“Also, also. I don’t eat meat every day, and I’m not a landlord. I have the conditions to eat meat every day. Didn’t you see that my body is thin due to fatigue? If I eat meat every day, will I have bones all over my body?”
"As for the oil smell you mentioned, I guess I bought pork suet and came back to practice oiling!"
"I haven't had any oil in the pot for several days. I steam it every day and eat it with soy sauce. I'm tired from working, so I don't feel embarrassed to yell. I'm afraid you might hear it and think I'm talking nonsense."
"I'm so busy right now, my wife can't help me, and my second wife has gone to sea to make a living. My mouth is dry with thirst, so I won't talk to you anymore."
The neighbor listened to his series of words. , I felt much more comfortable, "Aren't you trying to slap the fat guy in the face? If you don't have that much money, you can build a mud house. Who doesn't live in a mud house?"
Tan Shaobei nodded, "I originally thought so too, but my third son said that building a mud house requires transporting a lot of mud and requires a lot of effort. It is better to spend more money to build a brick house."
"Just build it. It’s a brick house, so it’s going to be hard, it’ll be over after a few years.”
The neighbor felt miserable when he thought about how much debt he owed. He felt relieved and walked to the beach, dreaming of getting lucky and finding valuable goods.
The Tan family knew nothing about this, but they didn’t know that his oil practice made the neighbors next door so greedy that they even choked after bumping into Tan Shaobei.
At this moment, Grandma Tan is packing up the fish, marinating it, patting some garlic, and cutting tomatoes.
Ladle the oil in the pot into the oil tank and set it aside. Use the oil in the pot to stir-fry the peppers and garlic. Finally, add the tomatoes. After the thick soup is cooked, add the tofu and fish. Put one piece down and stew.
Pour some soy sauce, cover the pot, and simmer it until the flavor is absorbed. When you open the pot, the aroma spreads throughout the courtyard.
Put it into a porcelain basin, a big basin full of it, and you can have a full meal at noon.
Don’t think about white rice, porridge must be stewed in a big pot.
A large pot full of food was placed on the table, surrounded by children, who were screaming eagerly and swallowing frequently, eager to hold the bowl and chopsticks in time. The adults didn't come back, so there was no reason to use the chopsticks first. Grandma Tan waved her hand and said,
"Da Ya, go see if your third uncle is finished? By the way, call your aunt and cousin. Come.”
"Erya, go to the entrance of the village and have a look. Have your parents and second uncle come back?"
As he said, he packed a bowl of fish and a bowl of porridge and sent them to Tan Lao's second wife's room. After the fetal gas came out, the doctor said that the fetal position was too low to prevent premature birth, so I could only stay in bed.
Sister-in-law Tan was frightened when she saw Mistress Tan. Her husband usually brought food to her. She was afraid of being called squeamish for raising a child who couldn't even get out of bed, so she felt guilty when she saw her.
"Grandma, I can go down and eat."
Grandma Tan put her on the chair in front of the bed and said without any hesitation, "Don't bother, just go there Eat it in bed, it will cost a lot if you give birth prematurely.”
"It's hard enough to have a second child, and you have to pay back the debt, so don't worry about it. Get through this period and give birth to the child."
Grandma Tan doesn't want to wait too long, she will only be happy with Tan Shaoyang Hehehe, he put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the room.
And now, the whole family is back.
Tan Shaobei looked at the large pot full of fish. The taste was also very fragrant. No wonder it made the neighbors envious!
I was very hungry, but I didn’t feel hungry, so I just grabbed the bowl and chopsticks to serve the porridge.
"Third brother, you are the only one who gets this treatment when you come back, otherwise it will be a pot of seafood porridge."
Tan Shaoyang picked up a chopstick of fish. The fish was tender, smooth, and very sweet. "Second brother, this is A big bowl of food can’t stop your mouth, just know it, there’s no need to shout out.”
“Why don’t you look as pleasant as me? Please coax my old lady. , Isn’t it you that she is thinking about?”
As she spoke, she gave Tan A’nai a piece, “Nai, eat more, your skills are really amazing, you can’t wait to swallow it with such a pot. ”
“You have to be the one in charge!”
With just a few words, Grandma Tan was so ecstatic that her eyes were almost closed with laughter.
“If it’s delicious, eat more. I’ve seen you go out for a few days. Why have you lost weight?”
Tan Shaobei, who was listening on the side, was about to cry.
"Grandma, I'm really dark and thin. You can't just care about the third child and leave us all behind."
"You see, the boss is too, We both really lost weight.”
Grandma Tan glanced at it and then looked away, "The third child is not married yet. He is a young boy. You are both fathers. Isn't it normal to work harder?"
"How can you support a family? It’s so easy. Just go and see your dad. He’s already the breadwinner of the family and I don’t even know how much he has gone through.”
“Can the third child be the same as you? You’re not married yet! You can’t be more refined, and you shouldn’t be too tanned, otherwise it won’t be pleasing to other girls.”
Tan Shaobei: “…” He is. A piece of grass that no one pities!
Tan Shaoyang praised Grandma Tan again from the sidelines. He didn't just use nice words to please him, he had life in his eyes.
Sweet potato vines rush to chop.
The shoes are broken, rush to buy them.
There is no oil in the tank, buy the lard.
How can you not be liked?
