Chapter 227 Do it yourself
I wrote like this for an hour and stopped only when my fingers felt stiff.
I got up and went to the yard to stretch my body. Xiaoyi was the only one left in the yard. Xiaoer and Xiaosan had gone out at some point. An Xueyan took out a live fish from the space and fed it to Xiaoyi.
He said to Xiaoyi, "Do you want to stay with me? Xiaoyi is the most thoughtful. This is a reward for you. They don't have it."
Xiaoyi immediately stretched out his claws to hold down the fish, which was still confused because of the change of environment, but Xiaoyi's mouth soon gave it no chance to figure it out. An Xueyan also filled its special drinking cup with water.
After eating and drinking, Xiaoyi rubbed against her feet affectionately, just like his mother, he liked to act coquettishly and cutely.
After resting for a while, she started to get busy again, but after a few minutes there was a knock on the door. She felt strange that someone would come to her house, as people usually went to the old house.
The person outside was very patient and vowed not to stop knocking until the owner came to open the door.
He put down his pen, stood up, walked to the yard, and asked, "Who is it? My grandparents are at work, they're not home."
The person outside the door then spoke: "Yan Yan, it's me, Yuan Mengyao. Can you open the door? I have something I want to talk to you about."
He opened the door a crack without intending to let anyone in. He held each door with his hands and stuck his head out, looking at the female educated youth in confusion. She was still prettier than most people.
He said without much enthusiasm, "What do you want to talk to me about? I have no money, and I can't make decisions at home."
Yuan Mengyao wasn't angry at her attitude, and said sincerely, "I just heard that you came back from Beijing, and I wanted to ask you which universities in Beijing are easier to get into. I want to apply to Beijing next time I fill out my application."
"Yuan Zhiqing, you are not mistaken, I am going to Beijing for fun, not to check out universities, so how would I know which university in Beijing is easy to get into?
Sorry, I may not be able to help you. An Xueyan thought she was a little strange. Now in the eyes of outsiders, she was just a little brat. What could she know?
"Then can you give me the contact information of your aunt Comrade An Qingyu? I want to write to her and ask." Yuan Mengyao still didn't want to give up.
She didn't want to go back to her hometown. She wanted to develop in the capital. The only way was to go to college and find a way to stay after graduation. However, her grades were really not that good. She didn't have the confidence to be admitted to the best university, so she could only ask someone for the admission scores of other universities for reference.
From her tone, An Xueyan sensed her determination to go to Beijing. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can write to my aunt and ask her. If she agrees, I'll give it to you."
Yuan Mengyao said gratefully, "Thank you, Yanyan. Here are some snacks I bought at the department store. You can have them as a snack."
"No, you still have to review. Just keep it for yourself to replenish your body." After refusing, he slammed the door shut.
Anyway, she didn't want to have too much interaction with this person, so it was better to have less contact with him.
Yuan Mengyao, who was locked outside the door, looked a little frustrated with the snacks in her hand. It took her a while before she turned around and walked towards the educated youth point.
After everyone left, An Xueyan opened the door and walked out. She took the lock and locked the gate directly, then climbed over the wall and returned to the yard. Now no one should come to look for her.
Go back and continue your hard practice!
The retreat ended only when it was almost time to get off work.
She had to appease her stomach which was about to rebel.
The bad thing about not reaching the fasting period is that she is still a mortal.
Take out the chicken that she had processed and stored, and soak a handful of dried mushrooms in hot water so that you can make some chicken soup later.
She remembered all the cooking steps, but her hands-on skills needed practice. However, she felt that this was not difficult for her. She blanched the chicken pieces in cold water and added a little century-old white liquor to remove the fishy smell.
She added a few slices of old ginger and the green onions that her grandmother had carefully cared for. She looked at the stove and saw that the fire needed to be bigger, so she hurriedly added two pieces of wood. She loved using firewood to make fire.
Dried things like rice stalks and reed seedlings are fine for starting a fire, but they are not good for cooking. They are too short-lived and require someone to sit by the stove and add firewood, and they will get covered in ash. She declined this offer.
It still feels quite busy to cook alone in the kitchen. After the fire was lit, the water in the pot began to bubble. After cooking for about 6 or 7 minutes, I used a ladle to scoop out the blood foam and black floating oil on the surface.
Remove from the heat, wash and set aside. Then prepare the ingredients you will use later, such as ginger, onion, dried chili peppers, etc. Heat the oil in the pan and stir-fry according to the steps in your mind. Then add the seasonings and stir-fry. When the color looks almost right, add water and stew. After stewing for a while, add mushrooms, potatoes and other ingredients and continue stewing.
It seemed that she had forgotten to cook rice. Since she didn't eat well at noon, she didn't want to treat herself badly in the evening, so she just steamed rice and ate it.
Zhang Guihua smelled the fragrance as she walked to the door of her house. She walked in and saw her filial granddaughter in the kitchen.
He hurried forward and asked with concern, "Why are you cooking for yourself? Are you hungry? We have some biscuits at home. Eat some first to fill your stomach. I'll cook it when your grandmother comes back. Be careful not to hurt your hands."
Although she sometimes said that her granddaughter was spoiled and that the third child spoiled her too much, after so many years of living together, she herself actually spoiled her granddaughter as well. She never did anything in the kitchen. She only lit a fire occasionally, but that was when it was cold, so she could keep warm. She didn't allow her to enter the kitchen in the summer.
An Xueyan smiled and said, "I suddenly wanted to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. I thought I should be able to make it, so I started. Grandma, smell it and see if it smells good. It will definitely taste good later."
Zhang Guihua said proudly, "It smells good. My granddaughter, Zhang Guihua, can learn anything. Just like me, I have been smart and capable since I was young. I will make those jealous people die of jealousy."
But she knew that many people were saying bad things about her granddaughter behind her back, saying things like "A mother should be a burden, a jinx" and so on, and that she was stupid for treating such a granddaughter as a treasure.
In the past, some people said things to her face, but they became obedient after being beaten by her a few times. However, there were still many people who talked about her behind her back.
How could these people know? She had even asked the immortal. Her granddaughter had a noble destiny and was a very blessed person. As long as she could overcome the hurdle of life and death, she would be able to have smooth sailing and become rich and powerful in the future, and it would also allow the An family to reach a higher level of prosperity.
Look at how many college graduates are coming out of families now. Humph, these people are just a bunch of idiots - they have no vision.
An Youliang also strolled back home with his radio. Now he didn't feel tired at all while working while listening to the radio.
As I walked into the yard, I smelled a fragrance. I realized it was coming from my own kitchen and I breathed a sigh of relief.
When An Qingping got home from get off work, the meal was ready. He also made a dish of cabbage stewed with vermicelli and a pot of green vegetables with radish sprouts, which was enough for four people.
