"Duoduo, let me light the fire for you!" Little Pumpkin followed in and said seriously.
Su He smiled, how could he take it seriously.
This little pumpkin must be greedy, so it’s good to follow it and smell it.
Su He turned on the fire, heated the pot, put in water, and brought it to a boil.
Over there, Ye Chuanxiu also steamed rice.
In rural areas, when making porridge in the morning, the rice is boiled until it is half-cooked and fished out, leaving a few rice grains inside to make porridge!
This kind of porridge saves rice!
Poor families have to save in every aspect.
The rice taken out will be steamed in the pot at noon. The rice cooked in this way is a bit dry, with distinct grains, but also a bit stuck in the throat!
In particular, this kind of rice is more filling. It will create a false state of fullness and is also an act of saving rice.
An adult man in this era would have to eat two to three kilograms of rice for one meal, which would be unthinkable in later generations.
Some of the women in later generations only ate fruit salad at night in order to lose weight.
In the seventies, that was impossible.
I have to do a lot of work every day, work in the fields, don’t have enough to eat, and have no energy at all!
Su He only ate this kind of rice when he was a child, but when he grew up, he never ate it again.
Ye Chuanxiu steamed the rice and did not choose the vegetables. Instead, he put all the chosen vegetables on the table.
Su He was a little surprised: "Mom, aren't you cooking other dishes for lunch?"
Ye Chuanxiu said: "You have cooked the fish, let's make rice with the fish soup for lunch! Well, there are also some pickles, just eat it!"
Su He was helpless, but he also knew that this was Ye Chuanxiu's plan to save a meal.
How much is this?
But in this era, a poor farm family is like this!
Su He even suspected that if his second sister Su Rong hadn't just returned from the hospital, she needed to replenish her health!
This fish would probably be sold by Ye Chuanxiu for money!
The family is really short of money recently!
And there is still more than a month until school starts.
If Su He failed the high school entrance examination, his family might not be able to afford the money for him to study!
Well, Su He originally made his own money to study.
This eldest sister is getting married. She has graduated from high school and does not need to study!
But this dowry is also a generous expenditure!
Ye Chuanxiu used the money from selling the cow to perform surgery on Su Rong, and there was still some money left, but probably not much.
The money left for the second sister Su Rong to study, the third sister and the fifth brother are also there!
They don't have the ability to earn money and study by themselves.
Su He also had a big head. Thinking like this, he also put the fish pieces in one after another!
Fortunately, there is a piece of fish oil in the belly of this fish, so the fish soup will not taste oily.
It is also because everyone lacks the smell of oil at this time, so they have to eat more.
There is no way, there is no oil in the stomach, and there is no strength in the whole body!
Slowly, the fish soup boiled, Su He turned to low heat and simmered slowly!
Little Pumpkin brought a small stool over and sat on it, waiting to eat.
The little nose moves every time, so cute!
It's a pity that in this era, cuteness is worthless!
The small stool was made by Su Zhaohua himself. The men in Nanzhu Village are more or less good at carpentry!
Just like Su He, he learned craftsmanship from the older generation and can make bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs and the like.
In Su He's view, these are all profitable crafts!
However, in today's China, the first self-employed person may not have appeared yet.
To do business, you have to go to some black markets.
Anyway, there is no market at this time. If everyone wants to buy something, they have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
But what about that attitude!
The salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives have faces longer than donkeys. This is how people of this era judge those salespersons.
However, there are also many people who envy those people. After all, they have an iron rice bowl, and they are not protected from wind or rain, and their wages are still high!
Ye Chuanxiu is a primary school teacher whose monthly salary is only 12 yuan.
Su Zhaohua works as a ranger in a forest farm near his home, and his monthly salary is even less, only 9 yuan!
As for salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives, their monthly salary is close to 20 yuan, and many of them earn more than 20 yuan!
Taking a pulse on the steering wheel and eating a pig salesperson, it can be seen that the job of a salesperson is very popular in this era.
However, in Su He's view, it was a stain on this era.
Those sales clerks who are paid by the state have ugly faces. There is really nothing they can do.
"And if I remember correctly, this era should still be an era where all kinds of bills are rampant. To buy oil, you need gas stamps, and to buy matches, you need match stamps! There are also meat stamps, food stamps, industrial stamps and so on."
Su He's eyes lit up when he thought of this.
If I remember correctly, those workers in the city don't have that many votes.
Therefore, for many people, let alone meat, vegetables and grain are not enough.
If he could get these things, he would definitely be able to sell them at a high price.
"But before that, we have to get these things. But in my warehouse..."
When Su He was thinking this, the warehouse scene appeared in front of him again.
Just as Su He was about to go in and take a look, Little Pumpkin's voice came to his ears again: "Duoduo. The water is boiling..."
The scene in front of him disappeared, Su He felt hot and wanted to find a place to try to go in and have a look.
If we can get in, can the materials in the warehouse that we used to consume in retaliation be used?
Not to mention anything else, he bought a lot of grain, meat, and various snacks.
If it could be taken out, it would definitely be very expensive.
Shaking his head, Su He suppressed these thoughts first, opened the lid of the pot and took a look, it was still early.
Su He was very good at making fish soup. Although he didn't have enough seasoning, just a little salt and a little fish oil, Su He could still make a delicious fish soup.
Thinking of fish soup, Su He thought of the large amount of seasonings he bought, which were also in the warehouse.
If you can go in, at least you can make delicious food by yourself in the future, and you won’t be short of too many seasonings.
As for salt, it is indispensable.
If there is less salt, the taste is not the same. If a person lacks salt, his whole body will be weak!
It can be said that salt is the most indispensable thing to save. No matter how poor you are, you can't help but eat salt.
Soon, the fish soup begins to turn white. At this time, the fish soup is ready.
If we stay here any longer, the fish pieces will be overcooked, and the taste will be much worse by then.
Because there were many people, Suhe added more water.
For this big family, the crucian carp weighing two kilograms is only cooked for a few pieces per person.
If this were done decades later, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough.
But in this era, every household is like this, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Little Pumpkin came over with a bowl and looked at Su He eagerly.
Su He had no choice but: "Bring it here!"
The little pumpkin just laughed happily!
Su He took Little Pumpkin's bowl, filled her with a bowl of fish soup, and put several pieces of fish into it, which were all meat from the belly of the fish.
"Go and eat!"
