Unknowingly, it has entered the summer of 1959, and my sister is about to face the entrance examination. Zhang Zhifei thought that he would make something delicious for them today.
Zhang Zhifei first went to the central courtyard to fill the water tank with water, and then closed the doors and windows. This way, the aroma of the rice would not spread throughout the courtyard, causing jealousy among others and eventually causing more troubles.
He decided to make braised lamb chops for his younger siblings. As for where the sheep came from, it was naturally the 10 acres of pasture as a sign-in reward.
He first bought two lambs, and the system time was one to three compared to the outside. The lambs he bought in late autumn last year, the two lambs he bought in the spring of this year have grown into fat and strong lambs.
It's a pity that both of them are breeding sheep. He kept one of them, and the other was incited to become a goat. He killed the goat some time ago.
The pastures in the system space are rich in water and grass, and the babies raised are delicious and juicy.
Zhang Zhifei first put the pot in the pot and poured water, cut the lamb chops into the pot under cold water, and added onions and ginger to remove the fishy smell.
After the water boils, remove the foam and take out the lamb chops.
Then pour a little oil, add Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers and other condiments and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the lamb chops and start stir-frying. After a while, you can smell the aroma of the lamb.
At this time, the younger brothers and sisters also came back and started knocking on the door.
Zhang Zhifei opened the door and said, "Come in quickly and close the door from the inside."
The three of them also knew that as long as they ate delicious food, their elder brother would ask for the door to be closed. Otherwise, someone might come to the door and give him food that he doesn’t have for himself. If he didn’t give it, he would feel rude, so closing the door was the best way.
"Brother, have you made mutton?" Zhang Zhiguo asked excitedly.
"Well, food won't be ready until later. The three of you go study first." Zhang Zhifei said.
The younger sister Zhang Qianqian said: "Brother, how can you think of studying when you smell such delicious meat?"
Zhang Lili and Zhang Zhiguo also rarely nodded in agreement. Zhang Zhifei looked at his younger brothers and sisters and knew that their minds were not on studying, so he stopped forcing them.
Zhang Zhifei saw that the mutton had been stir-fried, so he poured some water into the pot, then started to add long strips of onion, ginger, salt and other condiments, and then simmered it slowly.
Zhang Zhifei sent Zhang Zhiguo to fix some potatoes and radishes, waiting to be cut into pieces and put into the mutton.
He kneaded the awakened dough evenly and began to steam the steamed buns.
The more the mutton stewed, the more fragrant it became. Zhang Zhifei closed the door and windows, but he still couldn't stand the good ingredients and cooking skills. The smell of mutton was too fragrant, but the fragrance still filled the courtyard.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was dividing the twists that Yi Zhonghai wanted. Suddenly, a scent came from the tip of his nose. He stood up and opened the door. Following the smell, he saw that it was Zhang Zhifei's house.
It was fragrant, very fragrant, and the mutton was full of flavor. The third uncle's family began to salivate. His family had not eaten meat for a long time.
"Dad, we have to eat meat every now and then. Our family hasn't had any food or water for two months. Look at how thin we all have become." Yan Jiecheng said, smelling the mutton from Zhang Zhifei's house.
"Go, eat whatever meat you want. With your father's salary, it will be good to raise you guys." The third aunt said with a look of disgust.
"With the door open, you smell the mutton and think it's meat." Yan Bugui said.
Zhang Zhiguo gathered around the stove, waiting for the mutton in the pot, and the mutton almost dripped all over the floor.
"Brother, I feel like I can eat it."
Zhang Lili looked at her younger brother with a look of disgust and said, "You have said this no less than eighty times, can you be of some use?"
Zhang Zhifei was very happy to see his younger brothers and sisters joking. They finally got over the shadow of their parents' death, and his efforts to drop out of secondary school were not in vain.
"Lili, put away the dishes and get ready to eat."
"I'll do it." Zhang Zhiguo was quite enthusiastic about cooking.
"Brother, the food you cook is so delicious." My sister Zhang Qianqian ate meat in her mouth and didn't listen.
"If it's delicious, please eat more." Zhang Zhifei gave his sister another piece of good meat.
"Lili, you have an exam in two days, how are you preparing for it?" Zhang Zhifei asked with concern.
Zhang Lili wiped her mouth and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'm determined to pass the exam."
Even though he knew his sister was good at studying, Zhang Zhifei still felt nervous.
It has become a habit for the four siblings to study together after dinner.
…
Jia Dongxu briefly told Yi Zhonghai what had happened in the steel rolling mill and the compound in the six months since Yi Zhonghai left, so that Yi Zhonghai had a clear idea.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu who had become so thin, and looked at the aunt with some blame. He took out half a bag of stick noodles from the tank and handed it to Jia Dongxu.
"Dongxu, take this noodles back."
"Master, what should you do?" Jia Dongxu was full of longing, but still asked.
Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "It's okay, master has more money here than you."
As soon as Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai began to scold Auntie, saying to her: "Dongxu has become so thin, and you didn't help him."
"It's helpful. I occasionally give Huairu some stick noodles. The old lady said that she should train Dongxu and let him fend for himself. I thought it was right, but then I gave him less."
"You! Dongxu is our caregiver. What can we do if we don't have enough to eat? What should we do if something happens?"
"The deaf old lady said that Shazhu is reliable. I also think Shazhu is good. He is also a chef. He is not hungry."
"Si Zhu, this kid, has an honest heart, but he is very reckless. Who knows when he will cause big trouble, and he is not a good man."
On the first day of Yi Zhonghai's return, nothing major happened. The only thing that changed was that the Jia family finally dared to open their stomachs and have a full meal.
The next day, the four siblings had breakfast and went their separate ways.
Zhang Zhifei rode to Yanjing Vocational and Technical College. Today he will take the exam. After passing the exam, he and his classmates will receive a technical secondary school diploma.
After Zhang Zhifei arrived, the students were still in class. He did not disturb everyone and went straight to the office of the head teacher Gao Xingru.
Gao Ru was very happy to see that it was Zhang Zhifei. When he dropped out of secondary school, everyone felt sorry for him for a while, but they could understand that not everyone could adjust in such a short time.
Now he is specially approved to take the exam, and as long as he passes the exam, he can get a diploma. This can be regarded as a disguised teaching reform.
Gao Xingru took Zhang Zhifei to the office of the teaching director Feng Bin and told the director to start the exam.
The place where Zhang Zhifei took the exam this time was the teacher's office. More than a dozen teachers stared at one person. Most people would be alert, but he did not react at all and answered the questions seriously.
Zhang Zhifei's self-study during this period was not in vain. The exam content was quite simple. He completed all the courses in less than the morning.
After bidding farewell to his teacher, he returned to school and classroom for the first time after time travel.
Seeing that it was Zhang Zhifei, everyone quickly gathered around him and asked him about his situation over the past year. Everyone was happy to learn that he was taking the exam at school today, and as long as he passed the exam, he would also have a technical secondary school diploma.
Everyone is a student at school, there are not so many dirty and twisty things, the main focus is one of heart-to-heart and purity.
He had to wait until the afternoon to know his results after eating lunch in the school cafeteria.
One day, Zhang Zhifei walked around every corner of the school, recalling every move he made in the school and sorting out what he had done after traveling through this life.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Zhifei was called to the office by Gao Ru. It turned out that the test results were out.
"Zhang Zhifei, you did very well in the exam, better than most students in school. Come to school next Friday and hire a photographer to take a group photo with you." Gao Ru arranged.
Zhang Zhifei was very happy after knowing his results.
I am finally a technical secondary school student, so it seems necessary to celebrate with a Yanjing roast duck in space.
