Chapter Thirty-two Cooking Ginger Soup for Shen Zhian
Even after being threatened like this, Wang Li still insisted on dividing the family.
Even if you don't get anything, it's still better than being squeezed all the time.
He and his wife are both hard-working, and as long as they work hard, they can always save their family's wealth.
A relative couldn't stand the behavior of Wang Li's parents, so he borrowed the couple's room to stay.
Although Wang Li and his wife had a harder life after the separation, they felt they had more hope than they had under the oppression of their parents.
But before the day was over, Wang Li's wife was pregnant and gave birth just two days ago.
Because of poor conditions, Wang Li did not have much money to sell good things to his wife for food and health.
If you don't eat well as an adult, your milk won't come down.
The child couldn't get enough milk and cried out of hunger.
Wang Li heard that Zhou Ran and Shen Zhian caught a lot of fish today, so he could only ask.
If the adult's milk supply does not come down, the child will starve.
After sorting out this useful information, Zhou Ran felt that he should treat Wang Li better.
This person is a grateful person. If you help him when he is in trouble, he will definitely repay you when he is capable in the future.
Zhou Ran wanted to lead the Zhou family to live a good life. In the 1980s, he must have found ways to start a business to make money. With Wang Li's path, there would be more opportunities.
"Brother Wang Li, are you here for anything?" Zhou Ran said to Wang Li with a smile.
Wang Li asked, "Do you have crucian carp here that you can sell?"
It is said that crucian carp soup produces milk, so Wang Li wanted to buy crucian carp and go home.
Zhou Ran nodded, "Yes, there are about four or five. How many do you want?"
"I want it all, but I may not have the money to give it for the time being. Can you give it on credit first, and then give it to me when I have money?"
Wang Li said, feeling a little embarrassed and nervous.
After all, most people would not agree to such things as credit.
But for the sake of his wife and children, Wang Li could only lose his temper.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ran said cheerfully, "Brother Wang Li, this fish is free of charge, I will give it to you directly."
Wang Li immediately disagreed, "No, no, no, it's just how much it costs. I'm already very grateful that you can let me pay on credit. How can I let you give it away for free?"
Although Wang Li's current conditions are poor, he still has backbone.
You can pay back what you owe others if you have the opportunity in the future, but you cannot take their benefits in vain.
Zhou Ran said, "Brother Wang Li, you rescued me from the river last time I fell into the water. This fish should be regarded as a piece of my heart. Don't be polite to me."
Last time Zhou Ran fell into the water, Wang Li happened to be working nearby. After hearing about her falling into the water, he helped rescue her from the river.
The original owner has such a fat figure that most people can't handle it.
Fortunately, Wang Li was very strong and was able to drag her ashore.
Fortunately, he was rescued in time and the original owner did not choke on the water. He just caught a cold and fell ill after being frozen.
After all, Wang Li is her savior.
He Chunhua supported Zhou Ran and said, "Yes, Wang Li, you saved Ranran. I heard that your wife had given birth to a child. What does it mean to take a few fish back to eat?"
Just keep it, there's no need to be embarrassed."
"But aunt, your family has brought me twenty eggs to thank me before. How can I get this fish in vain..."
"You are such an honest kid. To our family, Ranran's life is more important than anything else. You saved our family Ranran, but twenty eggs and a few fish can't repay you.
Just take the fish and don't talk so much."
When someone mentioned this, Wang Li stopped being polite.
But Wang Li still kept this in mind.
The Zhou family has helped him, and if he has the opportunity and ability in the future, he will definitely repay the favor.
He Chunhua picked out several crucian carp at home and gave them to Wang Li, and also gave a big black fish as a gift.
Snakehead fish is also nourishing for the body. In addition, snakehead fish has fewer spines and more meat, so it is more nutritious than crucian carp.
He Chunhua was not only thinking about Wang Li saving his daughter, so she sent the fish.
As a member of the production team, how could she not understand the situation of Wang Li and his wife?
I know this is the most difficult time for this couple, so I would like to help as much as I can.
After waiting for Wang Li to leave, the women of the Zhou family continued to prepare food, and Zhou Ran went to the kitchen first.
He Chunhua picked two more big fish and sent them to Zhou Shusheng.
Zhou Ran was going to make some ginger soup. Shen Zhian was going to fish in the river today. She was somewhat worried that he would catch a cold and get sick.
The conditions in the countryside are so poor that getting sick is a serious problem.
If a person is not feeling well, he will not be able to earn work points even if he is sick.
Ginger soup has the effect of dispelling cold. Drink some first, at least it can prevent it.
By the time Zhou Ran had cooked the ginger soup, Shen Zhian had finished delivering the things and came over to the Zhou family.
Zhou Ran brought the ginger soup to Shen Zhian and told him to drink it quickly.
Shen Zhian didn't expect Zhou Ran to care about him so much. Apart from his family, this was something he had never experienced anywhere else.
Shen Zhian drank the ginger soup and felt warm not only on his body but also on his heart.
Zhou Ran continued to work in the kitchen and started to prepare dinner.
She plans to cook a portion of pickled fish, a portion of braised fish, and a pot of fish soup.
Just stir-fry two more vegetables at home, and the dishes for dinner are almost ready.
The sauerkraut is pickled at home, and there is no cooking method for sauerkraut fish in the countryside. He Chunhua was quite surprised when she heard that Zhou Ran was going to make sauerkraut fish.
But if my daughter says to do this, just follow her.
Anyway, she has noticed in the past few days that her daughter has an idea. Sometimes the dishes she makes are not cooked like this, but they taste quite good.
Zhou Ran originally wanted to make sweet and sour fish, but the seasonings at home were limited, only a little soy sauce and not even vinegar.
If you want to make some delicious food, you won't be able to cook it without enough seasonings. As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.
Waiting for the next time I have the opportunity to go to the county town, I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some.
As Zhou Ran was busy in the kitchen, the aroma spread out in waves.
Shen Zhian was quite surprised to know that Zhou Ran was the chef cooking.
Those educated youths are really good at spreading rumors, saying that Zhou Ran does nothing behind her back all day long, but if she is really as lazy as they say, how can she cook so well?
The men and children of the Zhou family were already waiting impatiently outside. After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhou Ran neatly arranged the meals.
"It's time to eat!" He Chunhua shouted.
When the cooked dishes are served on the table, you will feel appetizing just by looking at them.
He Chunhua smiled and said to Shen Zhian, "Shen Zhiqing, this is a dish made by Ranran at my home. Try it and see what you think. If you like it, eat more. Just treat it as your own home. Don't be polite. "
"Okay." Shen Zhian responded, with the corners of his lips raised.
After everyone sat down at the table, Shen Zhian moved his chopsticks.
He first tasted the pickled fish made by Zhou Xiaran. The soup base was sour and spicy, the fish was well prepared, and the meat was smooth, tender and delicious.
Eat it in one bite and you will have endless aftertaste.
It tastes even better than what the chefs of state-owned restaurants make.
Shen Zhian tasted the rabbit meat that Zhou Ran sent last time and thought it was good. This time, the pickled fish dish was no worse than the rabbit meat.
