The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s

Tian Tian was indeed freezing cold, so she washed her hands and went into the house. The kang was very warm, and there were a lot of delicious food on it, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, melon seeds, peanuts, frozen pears, frozen apples and so on.

Old Mrs. Tian is not like other people. She is reluctant to give food to her family and insists on saving it for guests. She won't eat it until the food goes bad.

Some families are reluctant to throw away their melon seeds and peanuts even though they have gone rancid, so they save them for the next year and then continue to keep them when new ones come in.

Old Mrs. Tian looked down on this. In her words, they were not the president of the country, nor were they minor officials. They were just ordinary civilians. How many times could they have visitors in a year?

Just leave some for the treats, and why save it all? What's the point of working for a year without enjoying anything?

So Tian Tian and her friends can eat fresh peanuts and melon seeds every year, and even most of the expensive pastries end up in their mouths.

Chen Guihua, Lin Meiyu and Old Lady Tian were left in the kitchen to clean the pork, with two little followers following them around.

Lin Meiyu is usually a quiet person. She would do whatever the old lady asked her to do and would not have any objections.

As for Chen Guihua, sometimes when Old Lady Tian asked her to work, she might have some small objections in her heart, but now when it comes to processing pork, Chen Guihua is 100% satisfied and willing to do it.

She drooled at the sight of the white pork. She looked at Old Lady Tian, ​​who was cleaning the blood off the outer layer and scraping the pig skin, and asked tentatively, "Mom! There's so much pork. How about we cut some and fry it today?"

"What are you frying? It's not even the New Year yet. Why are you frying pork? Save the pork for stewing sauerkraut during the New Year!" Old Mrs. Tian said without raising her head.

Chen Guihua immediately lowered her head in disappointment and worked silently.

Old Mrs. Tian looked up at her and said, "Today I will cut the fat into lard and give each of you a small bowl of oil to eat!"

Chen Guihua's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Old Lady Tian with some emotion, "Thank you, Mom!"

Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo also heard it and immediately jumped up and cheered, "Oh! Eat oil! Eat oil!"

Old Lady Tian glared at them immediately. "What are you yelling about? A dog's stomach can't hold two ounces of sesame oil, and you have no control over your mouth. You want to yell about eating something good, are you afraid that others don't know that you have good food at home?"

Old Mrs. Tian had survived the three-year famine, so she knew exactly what the famine was like.

How many families finally had something to eat at home, but after their children cried out inappropriately, the family was killed that very night, and the food they had worked so hard to get was also stolen.

After a few such lessons, everyone gave their children a good beating and told them not to tell anyone else about family matters. This was the first time the situation had improved.

Moreover, at this time of year, people don’t have much good food to eat all year round. No matter what smoke comes out of the chimney, people will come over to smell it and guess what you are eating today.

Although today is the day for distributing pork, every household refines oil, so it is not surprising that the Tian family refines oil.

But Old Mrs. Tian was afraid that the two kids at home would get used to such clamoring, and that if they tried to secretly eat something delicious, the two kids would inadvertently shout it out, which would be troublesome if someone had bad intentions again.

Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo immediately shut their mouths obediently.

Lin Meiyu looked up at the two brothers and said softly, "Don't bother hanging around here. You're really a nuisance. We'll have to take care of you two when we refine the oil. You two can sit on the kang. I'll bring the oil to you when it's ready."

Although they were scolded by Old Mrs. Tian, ​​it did not dampen the brothers' joy at eating meat. They ran to the east room humming a song, took off their shoes skillfully and climbed onto the kang, and each took a frozen pear and ate it on the warm kang.

"Sister! We're going to have oily food this afternoon! Our grandma is refining oil in that room!" Tian Zhuo couldn't help but share the good news with Tian Tian.

Tian Tian curled up on the warm kang, feeling drowsy from the heat. When she heard Tian Zhuo's words, she just perfunctorily agreed, "I know!"

After all, she is neither deaf nor stupid. The lard in the house had been eaten up long ago. Now that she was given a piece of lard, the first thing Mrs. Tian would do when she got home would definitely be to refine the lard.

Moreover, the two of them shouted so loudly just now that anyone who was not deaf could have heard it. What's more, there was only a small room between Tian Tian and her roommate's house.

Seeing Tian Tian like this, Tian Zhuo felt no sense of accomplishment at all. He snorted lightly and turned his back to Tian Tian to eat the pear.

Tian Tian ignored Tian Zhuo and turned over. She thought about the pork she brought back and how she would soon have meat to eat at home. She couldn't help but feel happy.

After feeling happy, I couldn’t help but think of the ribs on the pork stall, which was a bit of a pity.

In fact, her favorite part of pork is pork ribs. When she saw the ribs when the pork was being divided today, Tian Tian was so greedy that she couldn't tell how greedy she was.

However, Tian Tian also knows that spare ribs are not very popular in the eyes of people nowadays because they have more bones than meat. Except for those who are very wealthy, only those who are left behind and have no choice will choose spare ribs.

For example, the first thing their family chose was all the meat from the pig, so they definitely wouldn’t choose the uneconomical ribs, so Tian Tian didn’t show it.

But now it’s not illegal for her to secretly think about the taste of the ribs.

Tian Tian lay on the warm kang, thinking about various ways to cook spare ribs, and fell asleep unknowingly.

I had a dream when I fell asleep. In the dream, there was a huge table, and on the table were all pork ribs, including fried Qiaotou ribs, sweet and sour ribs, stewed ribs, braised ribs, rib soup, pepper and salt ribs, steamed ribs with fermented black beans, and grilled ribs.

Even the air was filled with the smell of ribs.

Tian Tian looked at the delicious ribs and was about to pick up chopsticks to taste them one by one when she was suddenly awakened.

Tian Tian, ​​who had just woken up and had not yet come to her senses, looked at the ceiling in confusion. The air was filled with the smell of meat, making Tian Tian think that she was in a dream.

However, the noise coming from the outer room, Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo, woke Tian Tian up completely.

She sat up with a somersault, slid to the edge of the kang like a fish, put on her shoes, and ran to the kitchen.
