After a simple rebirth

After Fu Ying finished eating, she cleared away all the bowls and chopsticks on the table, but did not clear away the dishes. This was because she had to see if there was enough food at the adults' table. If not, she would transfer the food to the adults' table. Finally, after everyone had finished eating, they would put similar dishes together and have the same dish for the next meal.

Leave the rest to them and Fu Ying went out to the field to look after the kids.

Li Xingying was also at her home and saw Fu Ying coming out to talk to her.

"It's so rare to see you out. I don't see you usually. Your mom said you were always studying."

Fu Ying sighed slightly, "There are so many things I can't learn now, and with the two of them running around all the time, there's no quiet time."

"Yeah, me too. My mom also said that I didn't study with you and asked me to study hard. They kept pestering me, so how could I study?"

Fu Ying did not respond to this. She thought it was mainly about whether she wanted to learn or not. Li Xingying's nephew was not at her house every day. However, Li Xingying's concept of learning was still to do homework if there was homework and play if there was no homework. She could not blame others for everything.

Children tend to fight while playing. Fu Ying went over to separate Wang Ruizhong and Li Xingying's older nephew, and then watched them continue playing.

The adults in the room finally finished their meal, but were still chatting. Fu Yu was washing dishes and cleaning up.

If it were a normal day, there would be nothing to do after dinner, but now we have to prepare things for the New Year.

After returning from their second aunt's house, Fu's father sat down and started cutting meat. Fu Ying saw that he was cutting pieces as big as pork chops, so he must be preparing to fry the crispy meat.

During the Chinese New Year in Yunnan Province, people will definitely fry crispy meat, which is called Su Baba and comes in large and small crispy varieties.

Dasu is made of pork chop, coated with flour and fried. It is very large after frying, just a little smaller than pineapple bun. Dasu is cut into strips when eaten and is mostly used for stir-frying and stewing.

There is no meat in the Xiaosu, which is made of egg flour mixed with a spoon and fried in a pan. It is usually about the size of a country egg. Xiaosu can be eaten directly in soup or eaten raw as a snack.

The climate in Yunnan Province is dry and cold in winter, so these fried foods are not easy to go bad or moldy, so you can just put the fried foods in the main room. There is no need to put them in the refrigerator. You can just take them out when you want to eat them.

Fu Ying often ate the crispy snacks, but her mother told her that it was not good to eat them cold, and told her to wait until they were cooked before eating them.

Mother Fu bought a bag of flour from the grocery store and started kneading the dough. She put the pot on the big stove outside, poured in oil and waited for the oil to boil, then put in the crispy meat and started frying it.

It wasn’t long since I had finished my meal, so I fried the meat into crispy crisps first. Then I coated the whole meat with flour and put it into the pan. After it was fried and shaped, I turned it over. When both sides were golden brown, it was done.

When they are fried until crispy, dinner has been somewhat digested and can be eaten directly.

Fu Ying loves to eat crispy pastries the most. In her previous life, after her mother returned to her hometown, she said she would send some things from her hometown to Fu Ying. Fu Ying said she wanted to eat crispy pastries.

Fu's mother specially bought some meat and fried some crispy cakes. After they cooled down, she sent them to Fu Ying together with the bacon.

But the first time, Fu's mother fried grass carp chunks, but she didn't pay attention when packing them, so they ended up being fried grass carp. Fu Ying didn't like it and it was fishy, ​​so she just left it there. Fu's mother asked Fu Ying to send it back to her hometown, and then she would send her some crispy pork, but the two express delivery fees were too expensive, so Fu's father told Fu Ying to just throw it away if she didn't want to eat it.

A few months later, the second delivery was successful, but Fu Ma also sent white wine. The white wine and herbs were bought from an old Chinese doctor for Fu Ying to drink and nourish her body because she had weak qi and blood and irregular menstruation. But Fu Ma didn't pack the white wine barrel well, and the courier didn't check it before sending it out. Then the white wine barrel was broken, and the five pounds of crispy meat were all soaked in the wine.

After three days of delivery, the crispy meat was soaked in wine. Fu Ying took a bite of the crispy meat soaked in wine, and it felt numb and pungent. Fu Ying didn't drink, and Zhang Zun didn't drink either, so the crispy meat was wasted again.

Fu's mother wanted to send it to Fu Ying, but Fu Ying persuaded her not to send it for now. The shipping cost of the crispy meat and wine would be nearly 70 or 80 yuan, plus the wasted meat and wine, a hundred yuan was gone, so she should save some money for next time.

At this time, Fu's mother put the fried crispy meat in a basket to cool down. Fu Ying and a few other children came over to pick some up and eat them first. They were still a little hot, but the fresh crispy meat was delicious.

It is not like the crispy, fragrant and spicy texture sold outside, but the pure flavor of local eggs and flour mixed with the fresh and delicious taste of freshly fried crispy pork is incomparable to that kind of crispy pork.

Fu Ying and her friends were almost done with the first pot, so Fu's mother didn't call anyone else. But when it came to the second pot, she called Fu Wei, Wang Changjie and others to come out and eat.

Fu Wei said he was playing cards and asked someone to bring the food in. Fu's mother handed it to Fu Ying and motioned for her to take it in. Fu Ying ignored him, didn't hear him, and refused to serve him.

Fu Ma glared at her, took it in and poured it into a bowl for them. As expected, the eldest young master was not satisfied with his orders.

"Mom, get a bowl with some chili powder. It tastes better when dipped in chili."

Fu's mother scolded, "Why are you making so much trouble just to eat something?" and went to get the bowl.

Fu Ying added fuel to the fire when she heard this, "I said I won't go. There are so many requirements for eating. Anyway, I won't serve you. You have to make it yourself if you want to eat."

Fu's mother came out and glared at her again, "Why are you talking about this? You'll start arguing again."

Fu Ying didn't respond and didn't want to listen.

After frying the crispy pork, we also fry tofu. It is for eating during the New Year and also to have something to eat throughout the next year.

The hard tofu I bought was actually from Aunt Fu's house. The market will start tomorrow, so Aunt Fu will use it first and buy it back for her tomorrow. Aunt Fu's house hasn't fried the crispy meat yet, so she doesn't need to use the tofu.

Cut the tofu into triangles, the size of a right-angled ruler and as thick as a smartphone. While the oil is hot, fry the tofu until it is shaped, then turn it over and fry until golden brown.

Young people don’t like this kind of tofu so much, but Fu’s mother likes it very much. She ate the first pot she fried and asked Fu Ying about it, but Fu Ying waved her hand to refuse.

This kind of tofu is okay if it is thrown into the soup like crispy pork, but it doesn’t have much flavor when dipped in water, so Fu Ying doesn’t like it that much.

After everything was fried, we prepared to clean up, put out the stove, and move back to Fu Ergu's house. The fried food was spread out in the main room to cool down. However, we didn't put water on the stove to extinguish it, which would easily splash ash and be dangerous. We waited for the carbon to burn out slowly and cool down naturally.

The charcoal ash under the stove is a great way to roast potatoes. You don’t need to do anything. Just put the potatoes in and wait for a dozen minutes.

Mother Fu had already stuffed seven or eight potatoes in and buried them. She asked Fu Ying to watch over the stove and not let the children get close to it, and then went to do other things.

More than ten minutes later, Fu's mother came over and peeled the potatoes. The outer skin was black, but the inside was not burnt, which meant it was a success.

Fu's mother scraped off the dust on the outside with chopsticks. When it was cooked, she handed one to Fu Ying, but Fu Ying refused. She had eaten several of the crispy pork dumplings and was too full.

Mother Fu scraped off all the dust from the potatoes and brought them in. The people who were still playing cards ate them with chili powder and relished them. Even Wang Ruizhong came over and asked for half one.

Finally, everything that needed to be cleaned up was done and it was basically over for the day. Fu Ying still took Wang Ruiya to sleep.
