"Brother, big brother, are these the fried pancakes you made? But they make me so hungry. The pancakes look delicious when I see them. I'll eat one first!"
Zhou Zhi smiled and greeted Zhou Zhiyuan, who was carrying the porridge to the table, and stretched out his hand to grab the pancakes in the basket on the table.
"Did you wash your face and hands?"
Tian Xinping, who was making noodles, tapped Zhou Zhi on the back of her hand with a pair of chopsticks.
"Mom, aren't you hungry? Brother, just tell me if I can eat pancakes!"
Zhou Zhi pouted and shook Zhou Zhiyuan's arm coquettishly.
"Well, let's eat."
The old man made a dull sound.
"Listen, mom, my eldest brother asked me to eat! Then I will eat it!"
Zhou Zhi looked up and acted coquettishly at her mother with an arrogant look on her face, but she still walked to the side and washed two handfuls of them in the washbasin, then grabbed the fried cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
I have to say that the rice cooked by Zhou Zhiyuan is really delicious. The scallion pancakes are fried to a golden brown and crispy texture on both sides, and the residue falls off when you take a bite. The aroma of scallions fills your mouth and makes the snack food lover's eyes narrow.
Yao Jingping took out a pickle lump from a small jar, washed it, cut it into long strips, mixed it with chili oil and soy sauce, handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhou Zhi, who was satisfied with the meal, and told her to drink pumpkin millet porridge with pickles and green onions. Oil cakes have a more fragrant taste.
"Sister-in-law, the scallion pancakes made by my eldest brother are really delicious. When I was serving in the new province, I always dreamed about eating the scallion pancakes made by my mother! I haven't eaten them these days, and I am so greedy. Who would have thought My eldest brother’s craftsmanship is as good as our mother’s! If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought it was my mother’s work!”
Zhou Zhi ate with golden dregs on the corners of his mouth. He slurred as he ate, put a pickle stick in his mouth and took a bite, smiling stupidly with joy.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, how did you and my eldest brother know that I wanted to eat scallion pancakes, pickle sticks, and millet and pumpkin porridge? These are a perfect match. I just like to eat this."
Seeing Zhou Zhi's exaggerated look, everyone in the room except Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing.
Although Zhou Zhiyuan did not smile, the coldness on his face obviously relaxed a lot.
This Zhou Zhi took great pains to get closer to the Zhou family. Even the scallion pancake became an excuse to get closer to the family.
After dinner, Zhou Guangyi called Zhou Zhiyuan out. Tian Xinping was busy chopping pork and preparing fried pork. She gave Yao Ningjing and Zhou Zhi a task, asking them to remove the hair on the pig's head, trotters, and tail, and prepare them for lunch. Make braised pork.
Zhou Zhile cheered loudly, put the pig heads and other things in a big basin, and boasted to Yao Jingping that she had done all the hair removal work for her, and what she wanted to do most was to pluck pig hairs!
Put the small fire fork used to poke the stove into the stove and heat it red. Look at the area where the pig hair is and it will be hot.
After a chirping sound, the pig's hair was scalded clean. There was a smell of burning in the room, and the pig's head, which was originally white and clean, was scalded into a big face.
"Yaya, when did you learn this skill?"
Tian Xinping had already chopped the meat filling for the meatballs, asked Yao Jingping for two raw eggs, found soy sauce, oil and salt, put a handful of white flour into the meat filling, and was stirring evenly clockwise with chopsticks.
Looking up at the two sisters-in-law sitting on the small bench, one squatted curiously and watched, and the other was scalding the pig hair with a black smoldering fork like a butcher. Tian Xinping looked up and smiled in a good mood, and said to them Talk.
"Mom, I know a lot of skills..."
"Giggle, look at you, you're just trying to be quick. There are a lot of small hairs on it. I'll use tweezers to pluck it out..."
Yao Jingping looked at Zhou Zhi's pig head that had been permed with pig hair and bent over with a smile. This nervous girl had a rough personality and a hard work, and there were a lot of pig hair on it.
She remembered that there were tools in Zhou Zhiyuan's luggage bag, so she simply got up and looked for tweezers.
The luggage was placed on the small bed in the small room. I opened the zipper and poked around randomly inside.
She was suddenly stunned. There was a cold guy in her bag!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pistol!
Yao Jingping was startled, and then he suddenly remembered his identity.
He is a soldier in a special position and it is normal to carry weapons with him. The man behind the scenes is now at large. He appears to be relaxed, but in fact he has not let down his guard at all.
After finding the tweezers and putting the luggage back in its place, Yao Jingping calmly sat back down next to Zhou Zhi. The two of them talked to each other while plucking the pig hair.
Tian Xinping was already frying meatballs on the small stove.
Pour half a pot of peanut oil into the small pot. Just wait for the peanut oil to boil, then use your right hand to squeeze the round meatballs and lower them into the oil pot. Use a spatula to turn the meatballs in the pot from time to time to prevent the meatballs from sinking to the bottom and sticking to each other. .
"Sister-in-law, as soon as I change places, I can't sleep well and I keep having nightmares!"
Zhou Zhi held a fire fork in one hand and burned the hair on the pig's tail while whispering to Yao Jingping.
"I had another dream last night. I felt like someone was trying to open my door! When I was anxious, I called my eldest brother's name! It doesn't matter if I open my eyes and wake up!"
"I tried to feel nervous. I couldn't sleep. I felt so suffocated. I wanted to go to the latrine but I was afraid of the cold. Fortunately, there was a urine jar in the room, so I solved it in the room."
"I got up in the morning and saw a row of footprints in the yard. I walked around the wall. The footprints were not big. They looked about 40 yards. My dad's feet are 43, and our mom's are 37. That means Someone tried to pick open my window last night!"
Yao Jingping was shocked.
If it was as she expected, if the mastermind behind the scenes was not caught for a day, they would not stop.
Will the Zhi family be in danger that week?
Taking a look at Tian Xinping, who was sitting by the small stove frying meatballs, Yao Jingping asked in a low voice.
"Have you told your father about this?"
"Needless to say, our father must know. He is a scout, so this can't be hidden from his eyes... But we can't let our mother know, so I swept the snow in the yard... Our mother is not in good health and her heart condition is... There is a serious problem, and I cannot bear to be frightened..."
"When my eldest brother went out with our father, he must have talked about this matter. I have to ask my father to get me a weapon. The ghost behind it is about to show up..."
Zhou Zhi's eyes widened with anger. He got angry and stabbed the pig's tail hard with the black smoking fire fork in his hand.
After finishing the operation, she used too much force, and she stabbed a piece of meat off the good pig's tail.
"What are you two sisters saying? It's so mysterious that you don't want me to hear it. Come on, wash your hands and eat some hot meatballs while they're hot..."
Tian Xinping put two bowls on the small table and greeted Yao Jingping enthusiastically.
"Oh, you are such a reckless kid, how did you break your good pig tail?"
Looking at the shapeless pig tail in the basin, Tian Xinping felt terribly distressed and couldn't help but murmur.
"Mom, Mom, I'm going to deliver a bowl of meatballs to my second uncle..."
Zhou Zhi was most afraid of her mother's nagging, which was more frightening than a slap in the face. She simply picked up a plate of meatballs on the table and ran out!
"Hurry, hurry, sister-in-law, second uncle, second uncle, second uncle!"
After a while, Zhou Zhi ran back with a pale face, pointing in the direction of his second uncle's house with a panicked look on his face.
Before he could ask, Yao Jingping ran away!
