Chapter 114 The scenes are always strikingly similar
The soybean cakes were obtained by Zhao Zhongcai and Lu Yuanqing after they went to various workshops to beg and plead for them.
After all, free items are in high demand!
They have no connections, and even if they wanted someone to give them a little something, they had no chance.
There was no other way. Zhao Zhongcai found out that a minor leader at the oil press was a relative of their commune. Now he had a connection!
One person carried a bag home for free.
There weren't many peanut cakes; they were mainly for feeding the pigs. Zhao Zhongcai didn't take much; he put five or six in his pocket and had Lu Yuanqing put a few more in his pocket as well.
Lu Yuanqing pursed her lips and agreed to 'embezzle' him once!
Although none of these bean cakes were made from public funds!
After carrying the two large bags back to the village and delivering them to the pig farm, Lu Yuanqing leisurely walked home.
I had just arrived home and hadn't even had a chance to go inside when a ball of energy rushed out of the house.
Lu Yuanqing instinctively reached out to stop him, but upon closer inspection, he saw it was Cheng Xiaobao!
Lu Yuanbo and Cheng Xiaobao are back?
boom!
Lu Yuanqing groaned, realizing who had rushed into his arms.
He laughed and picked up the little boy who was clinging to his legs. "You're back! Did you have fun at your great-aunt's house?"
"Unhappy, uh, happy too!" Cheng Xiaobao buried himself in his arms, missing his family, his older brothers and sisters, his younger brothers and sisters, and especially his uncle.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and carried him back into the house.
"Uncle, he's tough!!!"
Lu Yuanqing said, "What's hard?"
"here!!"
Lu Yuanqing looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that it was the peanut cake in his pocket.
"Oh! These are peanut cakes, let me take them out!" Lu Yuanqing put Cheng Xiaobao down and took the peanut cakes out of his pocket one by one and placed them on the table.
"Brother, where did you get this!" Lu Yuanbo put the clothes in the room and came out to see Lu Yuanqing had returned.
"Brother, Aunt asked me to bring this back!"
Lu Yuanqing looked over and saw that it was nothing more than some food.
"These are peanut cakes! The brigade leader and I brought them back from the oil press today!"
"Hey, I heard from Xiao Huan, bro, the pigs raised in the village are eating so well these days!"
When Lu Yuanqing heard him mention Lu Yuanhuan and not see her at home, he casually asked, "Aren't they both home?"
"No! They've all gone out!"
Ok!
Lu Yuanqing said he was a little tired and needed to take a nap.
After talking with Cheng Xiaobao for a while, I let him go out and play by himself, while he went back to his room and took a nap.
Lu Yuanqing didn't know why Zhao Zhongcai was so happy to see peanut cakes.
That evening, Lu Yuanhuan dissolved the peanut cakes in boiling water, and Lu Yuanqing, sitting in the main room, could smell the aroma.
Lu Yuanhuan chopped up a lot of vegetables and cooked them together.
Dinner was a single bowl of porridge for one person!
Lu Yuanqing was already attracted by the aroma and, ignoring the steam rising from the bowl, took a sip.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Lu Yuanqing paused.
He quickly looked up and confirmed that it wasn't him who said it, but Lu Yuanbo who made the remark!
That's right!
He's someone who's eaten plenty of delicious food, so how could he make such a comment just because of a bowl of porridge with a sweet peanut aroma?
After confirming, Lu Yuanqing reservedly and quickly put another little bit into his mouth.
Compared to his reserved demeanor, the other members of the Lu family were much more genuine!
"This is so delicious!!"
"I've had bean cakes before, but they've never tasted this good!"
"Of course it's peanuts, used to make oil, how could it not smell good?"
A large group of people makes for a lively meal.
Lu Yuanqing didn't participate at all, just ate and watched them make a fuss.
He made a mistake!
When Zhao Zhongcai took the peanut cake, he thought it was something good!
Now it seems like it really is a good product!
He shouldn't have been so disgusted, afraid of getting his pockets dirty. When Zhao Zhongcai stuffed two of them into his pockets, he even put them back with a look of disgust.
If he had known the food was good and the kids in the family loved it, he should have stuffed his pants pockets full!
I have to say, this tastes much better and more fragrant than corn grits.
It wouldn't be good to go and get it now.
When it's delivered to the pig farm, it becomes the pigs' feed.
"Brother, you said you and the captain each carried a bag back..."
Lu Yuanbo blinked and looked at him.
Lu Yuanqing calmly looked up, and what came into view was a circle of bright, sparkling eyes.
Lu Yuanqing's lips twitched!
He said it's no wonder they're family; their thought processes are so similar.
He was just thinking about taking more peanut cakes.
"Most of them are soybean cakes, not many peanut cakes!" Lu Yuanqing directly shattered their illusions.
"Oh~~"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
What's with this regrettable situation?!
"There aren't even enough pigs to eat! Don't even think about it!"
"So many pigs, isn't that enough to eat?" Lu Mingdong said calmly.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Of course it's not enough. The soybean cake is to allow the pigs' digestive systems to adapt. We've been to the commune so many times these past few days, how could there only be so little!"
"Can I bring peanut cakes back again in the future?" Lu Mingnan asked hurriedly.
"What are you daydreaming about!" Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes at him speechlessly. "Peanut cakes are in high demand. Once the pigs' stomachs have adjusted, we'll mainly feed them rice bran. We've already spoken to the grain station, and the brigade leader will send someone to bring back the oxcart tomorrow!"
They ordered a lot! But it was only enough for half a month's worth of pig feed.
There's nothing we can do; they have a hundred pigs!
Not only are there many of them, but they also have huge appetites!
"Oh!!" came another sound of regret.
Lu Yuanqing found it both funny and heartbreaking.
When he has some free time, he'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some meat for them to enjoy.
It's not that Lu Yuanqing is stingy; he has to be careful about how much meat he eats.
Unfortunately, he had money and meat coupons, but the supply and marketing cooperative had no meat!
The supplies are rare, and they always sell out very quickly!
By the time he arrived in town from Shihua Village, all the pig intestines were gone!
As for getting up in the middle of the night to queue up in town just to get some meat?
Lu Yuanqing said, "There's no need for that! Really!"
……
The next day.
Lu Yuanqing arrived at the pig farm early in the morning to take a closer look!
When they arrived, they found that Zhao Zhongcai had also arrived, along with several villagers who liked to watch the excitement!
Ye Fang was busy leading several elderly women.
A stove has been specially built here at the pig farm, right to the right of the exit. Now, thick white smoke is rising from the stove.
Sweet potato vines were boiled in the pot. In the past, I would just throw the sweet potato vines into the pig trough, which was no trouble at all.
But now that we have soybean cakes, we naturally cook them and feed them to the pigs.
Two elderly women were chopping sweet potato vines on the side, putting the chopped pieces into the pot.
When Lu Yuanqing arrived, he saw two other elderly women holding laundry mallets and pounding away. What they were pounding was a bag of bean cakes.
The tightly pressed soybean cake was crushed and then put into the pot.
Ye Fang held a very long spatula in both hands and stirred the pot a few times, then put it down and covered it with the old, broken lid.
Lu Yuanqing was dumbfounded.
The scene looks so familiar, the smell looks so familiar. Will the scene to come look even more familiar?
