Rebirth Ninety's Fat Wife Should Be Self-reliant

Chapter 30 Boiling lard

Zhou Huilan wanted to ask again, but Granny Duan shook her head, pulled Yaoyao, and teased the little duck who was still unsteady on the road.

She just listens to other people's affairs, and Zhou Huilan doesn't intend to interfere too much.

In just two days, Granny Duan's walking has almost returned to normal. Lu Changqing also said it was miraculous, and Zhou Huilan thought it must be the effect of soaking the beans in the water from the ancient well.

Although the water from the well cannot be taken out, food can be used to bring it in. Now the land in the courtyard has been tidied up, but she still has some seeds left. She originally wanted to plant them in the space, but this can only wait until night

.

Yaoyao was focused on playing with the little duck, but even though Zhou Huilan asked her to go shopping, she was not interested. There was no other way, so Zhou Huilan went out on her own.

To sell soy milk, you can't use the big iron pot at home. You have to buy someone to hold it and small bags for packaging.

The tricycle was nowhere to be found, but the alley of Duan's house was so narrow that she couldn't push the tricycle back even after buying it. Zhou Huilan planned to borrow it from the Lu family first. When she came out, she asked Lu Fengxia, and her aunt readily agreed.

Zhou Huilan rode a tricycle and bought all these things step by step.

She originally planned to buy vegetable oil, but when she went to the grain and oil store and saw the dirty oil drums, she changed her mind. She went to the pork stall and bought ten kilograms of pork suet, planning to go home and refine the lard herself.

After shopping, she didn't rush home. Instead, she rode a tricycle around to the end of Gulou West Street. She just asked Aunt Fengxia about nearby kindergartens. The nearest one was here, but it was said to be a kindergarten organized by the district government.

, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to get in if you join the class.

Different from the hustle and bustle over there in the Drum Tower, the street where the government kindergarten is located is just across the street. The whole street is neat and orderly. The two rows of small buildings are all government units. There are no messy vendors and the street trees are better than others.

The streets are more neatly manicured.

Zhou Huilan is very satisfied with this street. The smoky environment at the entrance of the Meat Factory Kindergarten is incomparable to this place.

But the threshold of this kindergarten is indeed high. Zhou Huilan wanted to ask about the situation, but the guard didn't even come out of the reception room and said to her through the window, "We don't recruit students from the public here!"

Zhou Huilan was not angry either. She walked around from the street to the end of the street and already had an idea in her mind.

When she got home, she lit the firewood stove and put a pot of water on it. Zhou Huilan sorted the things she bought into the kitchen and put them away. She fetched water and washed the pork suet inside and out. Then she cut it into small pieces with a knife and threw it into the kitchen.

Blanch it in hot water.

Granny Duan, whose legs and feet were almost healed, followed her into the kitchen and looked at the room that was quickly filled by Zhou Huilan, with worry on her face.

"Huilan, you have to live a frugal life. You have a child, so you have to think about the child."

"Mother-in-law, I divided the money after the divorce. Besides, I can still make money. Just enjoy yourself and don't worry about money." Zhou Huilan said, taking out a small half bowl of salted soybeans from the cabinet, which she soaked in space.

The useless beans were fried in a pot with salt. The beans that were not fried were too dry. Mother-in-law and Yaoyao had bad teeth, so they just ate them as snacks.

Grandma Duan was born into a wealthy family before, and has endured all kinds of hardships in the changing world. In the past two days, she has seen that Zhou Huilan treats her better than her own mother, and she treats her as her own daughter from the bottom of her heart. "Making money is making money, being frugal is

Frugality, there is no conflict between these two things."

"I understand, mother-in-law, I bought these for setting up a stall tomorrow. Don't worry, you can start making money tomorrow."

Seeing Zhou Huilan's confident face, her face had lost weight due to her busy schedule in the past two days, Granny Duan shook her head helplessly, her smile full of endearment, "Don't think about making money at the beginning, it's not easy to do business."

"I know, thank you, mother-in-law, for the tip." Zhou Huilan said as she used a large spoon to skim off the foam from the cooked pork.

Granny Duan was about to go out, but she just walked to the door, but turned back and said, "Huilan, although we initially talked about a rent of twenty yuan per month, now you have taken care of my old woman's food and drink.

Not only can I not ask for the rent, but I should also pay for your living expenses."

As he spoke, he directly thrust a twisted silver bracelet into Zhou Huilan's hand.

"I don't have any money either, so you can take this first. There are two paintings in the house. I'll replenish them for you later when my mother-in-law sells them."

"No, no, no!" Zhou Huilan quickly returned the bracelet to her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, you said this just to drive me away. You help me look after Yaoyao, and you also let me toss such a big yard. I should respect you.

,How dare I take your things."

"You take it!" Granny Duan still insisted.

"Mother-in-law, you don't need my rent, and I can't ask for your living expenses. We are destined to be together. From now on, I will respect you as my own mother and you will love me as my daughter. Let's never mention this money again, okay?"

"

Granny Duan's eyes suddenly turned red. She quickly turned away and nodded in panic.

Zhou Huilan stretched out her hands and gently hugged Granny Duan. She could understand the loneliness of being helpless and hopeless.

"We don't talk about money, but I am an elder. According to the rules of my ancestors, I must give a gift to the younger generation. This bracelet is my dowry. After many things are gone, it is the only one left. You can take it and give it to Yaoyao later. It is still intact.

inherited!"

The meaning of these words is not just about silver bracelets.

Seeing Granny Duan's firm expression, Zhou Huilan obediently took the bracelet and put it on her wrist, "Don't tell me, this bracelet is really finely made."

"No, our ancestors of the Xu family were servants in the palace. We have never seen any good things. If my father hadn't smoked heavily and gave birth to a daughter like me and ended the inheritance, alas... I won't mention it."

Granny Duan waved her hands and left the kitchen.

When the pork suet in the pot was almost boiling, Zhou Huilan quickly took out the meat from the pot with a colander, cleaned the pot and added a ladle of water. She added two sticks of firewood to the stove to turn up the fire, and then the pork suet was boiled.

Pour it in.

The fire quickly boiled away the water and the lard came out.

Zhou Huilan quickly cut a handful of ginger and garlic, and when the lard was almost cooked, she threw it into the pot and cooked it together. The aroma of the lard with seasonings immediately increased ten times.

Pig-nosed Yaoyao ran over directly.

"Mom! What did you make that tastes so delicious?"

Zhou Huilan used a fishnet to fish out the lard residue and the golden ginger and garlic. She pinched a piece and dipped it in some sugar and handed it to Yaoyao. The little girl said "Ah woo" and her eyes immediately turned into small crescents.

"Mom! I want more, this is so delicious!"

"Wait a minute, there is still a little oil in this oil residue. When mom cooks it for a while, you can take it to eat with your mother-in-law." He took out the oil jar, threw in a few soybean peppercorns and a spoonful of salt, and then put the pig

The oil is put in.

One jar couldn't be filled, so Zhou Huilan took out the newly purchased lunch box to finish filling it, then poured the oil residue into the pot and continued to boil it while pressing. When the oil was almost gone, she took out the oil residue and sprinkled it with sugar.

, let Yaoyao go away.

This method was learned by Zhou Huilan from the master chef when she worked in a Sichuan restaurant. The food in that Sichuan restaurant was particularly delicious, but it was closed down not long after it opened because of its genuine ingredients and refused to follow the trend.
