Su Wen returned to the courtyard, took the key to his room from the third aunt, and said thank you.
The third uncle couldn't help but sigh when he saw Su Wen walking towards the backyard. "What's wrong with Lao Yan sighing suddenly?"
"It's not because I'm greedy. We can't use the free fire anymore when Su Wen comes back. Fortunately, you cooked today's polenta early." A few days after Su Wen left, Lao Yan's family cooked and cooked The water used was Su Wen's stove. The third uncle was a little distressed when he saw Su Wen come back. There was no free stove to use.
When Su Wen returned home, the room was clean and tidy. Apparently the third aunt had helped clean it up. There was also a smell of boiled corn paste. It must have been the third aunt cooking here. Su Wen smiled and didn't care much. I checked the wild eggs in the bamboo basket and found that there was no change in appearance.
It was too cold outside, and Su Wen didn't want to go out, so he planned to make a bowl of noodles for a meal. Take out a bowl and pour some water on it, then grab a few pieces of coarse salt from the salt shaker and put it in, stir it with chopsticks, wait until the coarse salt is completely melted, pour the salt water into another clean bowl, and the remaining bit with The foreign body Shui Suwen fell directly to the ground.
Su Wen started kneading the dough with skillful and powerful movements. He slowly poured the salt water into the flour, stirring it with chopsticks while pouring it, until the flour turned into a soft dough. Su Wen first sprinkled a handful of flour on the chopping board, then took the dough to the chopping board, kneaded it repeatedly on the chopping board, rolled the kneaded dough into a round cake shape with a rolling pin, rolled the dough piece on the rolling pin and rolled it back and forth to make the dough smoother. Come thinner.
Su Wen folded the rolled dough into several layers and then cut it into thin strips. He pinched both ends of the noodles with his hands and shook them slightly to loosen the noodles.
Su Wen took out a pot, poured some water into it, and put it on the stove to boil. After the water boiled, Su Wen put the noodles into the pot and gently stirred them a few times with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together. When the noodles are cooked, he takes them out and puts them into a bowl.
Get some wild boar meat from the space and cut it into thin strips. Su Wen put the cut shreds of wild boar meat into the pot and stir-fried it a few times with a spatula to let the meat change color. Then, he poured in some soy sauce and salt and continued to stir-fry.
Then, Su Wen covered the noodles with fried shredded pork, and a fragrant bowl of wild boar shredded noodles was ready.
Su Wen sat at the table, tasting the bowl of noodles he had cooked. Although it is just a simple wild boar shredded noodles, it tastes very good. Su Wen ate up all the noodles in just a few clicks.
Su Wen took his big bowl to the courtyard to wash the dishes. When he came back, he saw the deaf old lady standing at the door of her house and looking inside.
"Is something wrong, old lady?"
"Have you eaten meat?"
"I cooked a bowl of shredded pork noodles and ate them all." To prove that what he said was true, Su Wen also took out the pot of noodles and showed it to the deaf old lady. When she saw a pot of noodle water, the deaf lady The old lady turned and left. Su Wen took the iron pot to the middle courtyard to clean it.
After Su Wen finished washing the dishes and returned to the room, he was still thinking about the purpose of the deaf old lady's visit. It was probably because the smell of the shredded pork noodles he cooked attracted the old lady. I can't let the old lady get involved in the future. It's not that I don't respect the old and love the young. Su Wen, who has watched the original drama, knows that no matter how nice he is to the old lady, it's useless. In the yard, she only cares about Silly Zhu and the first uncle, and he There is no need to put a hot face on a cold butt. Su Wen thought to himself that he should try to avoid too much contact with the deaf old lady in the future, and keep a certain distance to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Xu Damao took Lou Xiaoe back from eating at a state-owned restaurant outside. When he saw the lights on at Su Wen's house, he came to Su Wen to contact him.
After entering the house, Xu Damao looked around as if he was looking for something.
"Brother Damao, what are you looking for?"
"They all said you were married. Why didn't your wife see it?"
"I sent her back to my hometown. She is still in high school."
When Xu Damao heard Su Wen say that his wife was still studying there, he smiled obscenely.
Su Wen looked at Xu Damao's expression and felt a little uncomfortable, but he still maintained a polite attitude and continued: "I plan to pick her up after she graduates."
"That's fine. Su Wen, you know, Silly Zhu is also married."
"I know. The day I left, I met Shazhu and his wife. They are quite beautiful. I think their name is Yu Li."
"Sinzhu has been saying that you are stingy these days since you left. They are going to hold a wedding banquet on New Year's Day. Can you do it?"
Su Wen was slightly startled when he heard Xu Damao's words, and then said calmly: "I have no plans to hold a wedding banquet yet. Who knows whether we will do it in the future." He didn't want to get too entangled in this issue.
Xu Damao looked at Su Wen, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He did not expect Su Wen to answer like this. However, he didn't want to give up and continued: "Su Wen, you have just moved into this courtyard. You should also know that the worldly relations here are very important... If you can hold a wedding banquet, invite people in the courtyard to celebrate with you." , this will not only allow everyone to recognize you more, but also allow you to better integrate into this big family."
Su Wen frowned. He didn't like Xu Damao's statement. It felt like he was forcing himself. Although he also felt that Xu Damao was telling the truth, the human relations and sophistication in this courtyard were indeed very important. So, he pondered for a moment and said: "I will consider it in the future, but I really don't have the ability now."
When Xu Damao heard Su Wen's words, he knew that he was somewhat reluctant, so he did not continue to press. After all, he was here to win over Su Wen to deal with Silly Zhu. He changed the subject, talked about something else and went home.
Silly Zhu learned from the deaf old lady that Su Wen ate meat, so he thought that Su Wen was a buyer in the factory and might have a way to get meat. He had already spread the big talk of holding a wedding banquet on New Year's Day, but he didn't eat meat at all. I bought it and it gave me a headache.
Silly Zhu came to Su Wen's house in the backyard and opened the door directly, but Su Wen was fastening the door inside. Silly Zhu was hit by the force of the shock and took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. He staggered a few steps before he could stand upright. .
Silly Zhu walked to Su Wen's room again, knocking on the door and shouting. "Su Wen, are you at home? Open the door and I'll see you if I need something."
Su Wen heard Silly Zhu's voice, opened the door, and asked with some surprise: "Sinzhu, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Silly Zhu felt happy when he saw Su Wen. He smiled and said, "Su Wen, I heard that you eat meat, and I want to ask you for a favor."
"Tell me what you want." Su Wen stood blocking the door, preventing Silly Zhu from entering the house. "
"Su Wen, I would like to ask you to help us get some meat. We are having a wedding banquet on New Year's Day, but meat is so scarce right now that I can't buy it myself."
"I can't help you, Silly Zhu. The meat I buy is all on behalf of the steel rolling mill. It's impossible for me to sell you the meat from the steel rolling mill. That's speculation." After saying this, Su Wen closed the door.
Silly Zhu was just about to kick in the door, but he thought about Su Wen's shotgun hanging on the wall and the short knife on his waist, but gave up. He went back to the middle courtyard while cursing.
