Rebirth of a Village Girl

Ni Yan put the umbrella into her backpack, "Put it on in case it rains."

As soon as Ni Cuihua left, a gray-haired old lady came to the door with a basket, "Is Yanyan's mother at home?"

"Grandma Liu." Ni Yan walked over with a smile, "My mother just went out. Do you have anything to do with her?"

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "Yanyan is at home, nothing happened. It's just that our family has a good potato harvest this year, so I will send you some potatoes. This is the first potato crop of this year, let you mother and daughter try it out."

Only then did Ni Yan realize that the basket held by Grandma Liu was full of potatoes.

The villagers in Jinghua Village are very grateful. Ni Yan is very kind to them, and they are also very kind to Ni Yan. If anyone kills pigs and sheep, or has a bumper harvest, they will be the first to think of sending it to Ni Yan. .

Ni Yan smiled and said: "Grandma Liu, you are too polite. We have potatoes at home. You can eat what you worked so hard to grow."

Grandma Liu is a lonely old man in the village with no children. It is very difficult to be alone at ordinary times. During festivals, Ni Yan will give her food. What really touched the old woman was last year.

Last autumn, the old man suddenly developed a high fever and almost died at home. No one knew it. It was Ni Yan who discovered the abnormality and cured Grandma Liu.

Grandma Liu said: "How can I eat so much by myself? Yanyan, do you dislike me as an old woman who can't bring out anything decent?" At the end of the sentence, Grandma Liu deliberately made a serious face.

"No, no, Grandma Liu, you misunderstood..."

"Since it's not, just keep it! It's not a valuable thing, so I'll leave first. If I don't go back, the cabbage in front of the door will have to be given to the chicken again." After saying this, Grandma Liu poured the potatoes on the ground. Just left.

Ni Yan couldn't let Grandma Liu go back empty-handed, "Grandma Liu, please wait a moment."

Grandma Liu had known Ni Yan's routine for a long time. She knew that Ni Yan must have gone into the house to get something again, so she quickly covered the basket and ran away like a gust of wind.

When Ni Yan returned to the yard again, Grandma Liu's figure had disappeared, and she asked strangely: "Where is Grandma Liu?"

Little Ni Yun pointed at the door and said: "Run, run away!"

Ran away?

Ni Yan was dumbfounded.

She never knew that Grandma Liu could run so fast with her little feet bound.

Looking at the pile of potatoes delivered by Grandma Liu, Ni Yan suddenly felt blessed, "Yunyun, do you want to eat something delicious?"

"Think!" Little Ni Yun's mouth started to water when he heard the delicious food.

Ni Yan picked up five large potatoes, washed them, peeled them all, and finally cut them into thin slices and long strips.

That’s right!

The delicacies Ni Yan is going to make today are potato chips and French fries.

Ketchup is indispensable when eating French fries. Ni Yan ran to the field and picked two big tomatoes.

Making tomato sauce is relatively simple.

First tear off the skin of the tomatoes, then cut into pieces, heat oil and stir-fry in a pan until it becomes sticky. Finally, add water and simmer over low heat until it becomes sticky.

Normally, white sugar is needed to make tomato sauce, but the home-grown tomatoes do not contain Cuihong. They are juicy, juicy, chewy, and taste very good when you bite into them. There is no need to add sugar at all.

Taking advantage of the break from boiling ketchup, Ni Yan started frying potato chips and French fries.

When frying in the oil pan, you need to boil the potatoes in boiling water for three minutes, then take them out and put them in cold water, drain them, and then fry them in the oil pan.

After a while, there was a crackling sound in the air.

Little Ni Yun stood by the pot, swallowing his saliva with greed.

After the ketchup is cooked, the French fries and potato chips are also fried.

Ni Yan handed little Ni Yun a piece of French fries, "Yunyun, eat slowly, be careful not to burn them, you know?"

"Sure!" Little Ni Yun nodded and eagerly grabbed a fries and put it in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Ni Yan asked.

"Good luck!"

Ni Yan scooped some more ketchup with a spoon and put it in little Ni Yun's bowl, "Yunyun, would you like to try dipping it in some ketchup?"

After all, little Ni Yun is young and can't understand what Ni Yan is saying.

Ni Yan had no choice but to demonstrate it himself.

The French fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with sweet and sour tomato sauce, which is indescribably delicious. Little Ni Yun said excitedly: "Good times, good times! Sister, good times!"

Little Ni Yun was very smart. Ni Yan only taught her once and she learned it. After a while, her mouth was full of ketchup.

Ni Yan put the remaining tomato sauce in three small glass bottles.

Later, Ni Yan took little Ni Yun with him and sent some French fries and potato chips to Grandma Liu.

Although the old man has some bad teeth, there is still no problem in eating these things.

When Ni Yan went there, the old lady was standing on the bench changing the light bulb. She heard movement outside the door. She looked outside and her foot slipped and she almost fell. Fortunately, Ni Yan held her in time, "Grandma Liu, be careful." ”

Although Grandma Liu was also frightened, she still smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay!"

Ni Yan took the light bulb from Grandma Liu's hand and said, "This is too dangerous. Let me change it for you."

"I'll do it, Yanyan, will you change?" In Grandma Liu's eyes, Ni Yan is still a child.

Ni Yan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I change it often at home." After saying that, she stood directly on the stool and raised her head to change the light bulb. This action was so handsome that even men would be amazed when they saw it.

Grandma Liu said a little worriedly: "Yanyan, be careful of the electric shock!"

"Um."

Ni Yan twisted his hand casually, "Pa!" The light came on.

Little Ni Yun said happily: "It's bright, it's bright!"

Ni Yan jumped off the stool, wiped off the dust with a rag, returned it to its original position, and handed the potato chips and French fries on the table to Grandma Liu, "Try this."

"What is this?" Grandma Liu tasted a French fries, "It's quite delicious."

Ni Yan smiled and said: "This is French fries, this is potato chips."

Grandma Liu said: "This is my first time to eat this strange thing! What is this made of?"

"Can you guess?" Ni Yan asked.

Grandma Liu said: "Four?"

Ni Yan shook his head, "No."

Grandma Liu thought for a moment, "Glutinous rice flour?"

"It's still wrong." Ni Yan continued to shake his head.

Grandma Liu said: "Isn't this made of powder?"

It's really strange, the texture is obviously made of powder.

Ni Yan smiled and said: "Grandma Liu, this is made of potatoes. It's the potato you gave us."

"Potatoes?" Grandma Liu was a little surprised, "Can potatoes still be made so delicious?"

Ni Yan nodded, "Of course! If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Okay." Grandma Liu is usually very bored by herself, so she is particularly interested in food.

Ni Yan explained the production process to Grandma Liu in detail, and Grandma Liu said with a smile: "Then I must try it tomorrow. By the way, Yanyan, come with me."

Grandma Liu pulled Ni Yan toward the back room. After entering the back room, Grandma Liu turned around and hugged little Ni Yun outside, then closed the door mysteriously and turned on the light.

"Yanyan, please wait for me." Grandma Liu walked around behind the bed, and after a while of rummaging through boxes, she walked out holding an old dressing box.

"Yanyan, come here." Grandma Liu waved to Ni Yan.

Ni Yan walked over and said, "Grandma Liu, what's in here?"

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "You'll know later." As she spoke, Grandma Liu pulled out the hairpin on her head that was used to fix her hair, and used the sharpest end to unlock the small hairpin on the dressing box. Copper lock.

The small copper lock looked old, with a layer of rust on the surface.

"Crack!"

Just when Ni Yan questioned whether the small copper lock could still be unlocked, the small copper lock was unlocked.

As soon as Grandma Liu opened the lid, she was greeted by a pleasant fragrance, somewhat similar to ambergris.

This reminded Ni Yan of the rumors in the village.

Everyone said that Grandma Liu used to be the eldest daughter of a landlord, but later she fled here because of the war.

It seems likely that the rumors are true.

No wonder Ni Yan always felt that Grandma Liu had a temperament that ordinary grandmothers didn't have.

After the cover was lifted, what came into view were a few dusty silver hairpins and a walking stick. However, because they had not been worn or maintained for many years, these things had lost their original luster.

Grandma Liu opened the second drawer of the dressing box and saw a crystal clear jade bracelet of excellent quality lying in the second drawer.
