Chapter 84: Sincerity
"However, my sister has no storage space, and my grandfather gave it all to my sister, and she has to give it all to me, so let me put it up. Chen Yubin continued to blink his eyes and said 'sincerely'.
Granny Chen reacted violently and slapped her face, "That's right, your sister doesn't have anything to pretend, and these are not all for you." Oops, it made me so angry that I forgot she didn't have storage space. ”
Then she has nothing to be angry about, decorate more, her good grandson can eat more, thinking of this, Granny Chen will no longer stop her, and she will turn around and go back to the stove door to watch the fire.
This made the other three very helpless, and the change was too fast to make people a little at a loss.
Seeing the whole process of Granny Chen's face changing, it was really a little overwhelming. Xiaoxi couldn't help but admire deeply, it seems that he also has to learn a little, not to mention the essence of it, learn those two tricks, and be prepared.
Old Man Chen picked up half of the jujube cake without peanut powder, then stopped and handed it to Xiaoxi. The brook was sheltered by the stove and put it into the storehouse.
I didn't mean to glance at the iron pot in the middle, oh my God, I forgot that the hawthorn water was still boiling. After such a long time, I saw that the hawthorns were all boiled, mixed with the slightly reddened soup, and the creek hurriedly put in the rock sugar.
Because she doesn't like to eat things that are too sweet, she puts a little little rock sugar, and if anyone thinks it's not sweet enough, it will be better to add some honey or something.
Packed up the rest of the jujube cakes in a basket, and the old man Chen thought that the old woman was a little dissatisfied just now, so he handed her the fish tofu and the jujube cake basket, "These are for you, you can pack them up." ”
Granny Chen thought to herself: It seems that this old man still has me in his heart, no, he will give me the rest immediately, this is to see that I was unhappy just now, and came to please me, haha......
Although Old Man Chen's tone is not very good, but the old lady is in a good mood at this time, so she doesn't care. But he still deliberately took a Qiao, pretended to be calm, and sat for a while before he slowly took the two baskets and put them into his bracelet.
There are a lot of baskets at home, and the villagers, these wooden and bamboo jobs will have two tricks, not in the fine. Like Mr. Chen, he has tools for wood work such as planers, ink lines, and chisels at home.
For bamboo work, it is even more proficient, weaving the back of the basket, the basket, the basket, the basket, the sieve, etc., not only good-looking, exquisite, but also durable.
Every day when he went to herd cattle, Mr. Chen would basically bring a few sections of bamboo and a bamboo knife to chop bamboo strips and weave a basket.
A bamboo knife is a kind of iron knife similar to a kitchen knife, but it is longer than a kitchen knife, only half the width of a kitchen knife, and thicker than a kitchen knife.
It is not difficult to weave a basket like this, if the bamboo strips are split, Old Man Chen can weave more than a dozen in the morning. Therefore, the most important thing in the house is bamboo utensils such as shapans, dustpans, and sieves.
After picking up the fish tofu and jujube cake in the steamer, you have to clean up the cage drawer, put it back in the next room, and put it here to block the way.
Because when I poured the fish paste and jujube paste at the beginning, in order not to stick to the paper, I brushed a thin layer of clear oil on the oil paper. Old Man Chen peeled off the oil paper and threw it into the hot water pot to soak, intending to wash it with hot water. Soak the oiled paper and take the steamer back to the next room.
Clear oil is rapeseed oil, which is a name for the creeks.
Because of the oil, Mr. Chen gently brushed it with a pot brush. "Hey~ This oil paper is good, it has been steamed in the steamer for so long, and it has been soaked in the hot water pot for a while, and I brushed it with a pot brush for a while, and it is not at all fine, it is not broken, it is not broken, it is not broken, look ......"
Scoop up the oil paper in the pot and show it to the three mother-in-law and grandson. Xiaoxi and the three of them all nodded, if it weren't for the water droplets and a few sporadic oil stains on the paper, they thought it was new and hadn't used it. The quality is really good.
"Huh...... The quality is really good, I washed it and dried it, and kept it for later use. Then he started to clean the oiled paper again.
The rock sugar was boiled, and the hawthorns were all boiled into hawthorn mud, which was not easy to filter, so the stream was scooped up and filled with a large iron basin and a small half basin. Wait a while, wait for the hawthorn mud to settle down, and then separate.
Mr. Chen spread the washed oil paper on the dining table, controlled the dry water, and kept it for later use. Then clean all three pots.
Xiaoxi added a few scoops of water to the big pot inside, poured a pot of red beans into it, covered the pot and went out, to the old house.
The pumpkins, winter melons, and artichokes of Xiaoxi's house are all piled up in the hall of the old house. I picked two round pumpkins of medium size, with yellow skin and ravines and many unsmooth ravines, and went back to the stove room.
Round pumpkins are basically planted in every household, and pumpkins like this with many ravines and deep ravines and an unsmooth surface are very glutinous and sweet, so they are selected to eat. Like the usual pumpkin porridge, sweet and delicious, and pumpkin dried rice, it is simply delicious.
Plant a few pumpkin seedlings, that is to produce dozens of hundreds of pounds of pumpkins, just people eat that must not be able to eat, chop into pieces, add cornmeal, bran and the like, cooked for pigs to eat. Like the red lettuce, pigs also like to eat pumpkin. Pumpkins are also easy to store, and the lack of pigweed, like in winter, solves a big problem.
Seeing Xiaoxi come back with two pumpkins, the three people in the house were very puzzled, Chen Yubin was quick to speak, so he asked, "Sister, what are you doing with two pumpkins?"
Xiaoxi smiled playfully, "Delicious ......" rolled her eyes, "Hehe, you'll find out later." "If you don't tell you, if you don't tell you, you don't tell you.
Cut, Chen Yubin pouted, kept it secret, and didn't tell himself, who is rare. But the body betrayed itself, and I saw him stretch his neck, and his eyes followed the stream.
The creek mixed some warm water, cleaned the two pumpkins, and uncovered the lid of the pot in which the red beans were boiled.
Place the grid on the water, place the two pumpkins on top and cover the pot again.
The grid is woven by Mr. Chen with thick bamboo slices, which is used to heat a dish, gas steamed buns and the like.
Qi steamed bread is the meaning of hot steamed bread, because on the water, people think that it is the gas (water vapor) to make it hot, so it is called gas steamed bread.
After scooping a few scoops of water into the pot outside, the creek poured in all the red lotus that had been washed in the morning, and covered the pot.
Granny Chen is sitting in front of the stove at this time, the fire is roasting, and her body is hot, so she doesn't have to be busy. Holding the jujube cake in his hand, eating it, his stomach is not hungry, and he is in a good mood. So, I didn't need Xiaoxi to say anything, but when I saw that Xiaoxi was busy in front of which pot, I burned that pot, which also seemed to be a warm and harmonious family.
Xiaoxi was busy all day long, except for the lunch time when he rested for a while, he didn't sit down, and when he covered the pot, he couldn't help but put his hands on his waist, stretched his waist for a long time, and moved his muscles and bones.
"Sister, come and sit here for a while and eat jujube cake. Seeing that her sister could finally stop for a while, Chen Yubin moved a chair beside him, patted the stool, and motioned for her to sit down.
Indeed, after being busy for so long, Xiaoxi's waist was a little sore, so he walked over and sat next to Chen Yubin according to his words, and took a piece of jujube cake from the basket on the dinner table to eat. This is the old man Chen just now put a few pieces in the cupboard, and there is still a trace of temperature.
Because it was by the fire, and the oil paper did not absorb water, it didn't take much effort for the water on the oil paper to evaporate and be put away by Old Man Chen.
Eating the jujube cake in his hand, Xiaoxi reached out and beat his waist, "Oops, the waist rod is a little painful...... glanced at Chen Yubin next to him, "Binbin, come and beat my waist pole for a while." ”
"Huh. "I didn't help much today, but my sister has been busy, and it is because of my sister that I can eat such delicious fish balls, fish tofu and jujube cakes, and there will be more delicious ones later. Now, I can help my sister a little, of course I'm willing.
"The little baby's family, where did the waist pole come from, and shouted that the waist pole hurt every day. Old Man Chen said he didn't understand it on the side.
Xiaoxi said indignantly in the bottom of his heart: Why do children have no waist pole, how can they live without a waist pole. He reached out again and touched his thin waist, making sure that it was still on his body. It's not a waist pole, it's something, it's an ornament.
Thinking of the same in his previous life, if he complained that his waist rod hurt, Old Man Chen or Granny Chen would come to say, "Little baby's family, where did the waist pole come from, I don't want to work anymore, I want to be lazy."
Xiaoxi disagrees with their statement, why do children have no waist.
It was indeed a little hungry, Xiaoxi ate two pieces of jujube cake before stopping, and sat down for a while before saying to Chen Yubin: "Okay, Binbin, no need to beat it." He blocked Chen Yubin's small fist with his hand.
Get up and walk to the board to check the hawthorn mud precipitation. At this time, the hawthorn water on it has been clarified, and the hawthorn mud has sunk, so I found a clean empty basin and prepared to separate the hawthorn water from the hawthorn mud.
Because a large pot was too heavy, and Old Man Chen was doing hard work today, Xiaoxi planned to do it himself, so he found a pot and spoon, gently scooped it on the water surface, and scooped the hawthorn water into the empty basin.
Scoop the hawthorn mud straight to the bottom of the basin, for fear of mixing the hawthorn mud into the hawthorn water, so it is not as clean as scooping. Another small basin, the stream can be lifted, so I hold the basin directly, slowly tilt it, and carefully pour out the hawthorn water.
In the end, I got a large basin of hawthorn water, and a small half basin of hawthorn mud.
After scooping four small bowls of hawthorn mud, Xiaoxi beckoned Chen Yubin to come over.
Chen Yubin received the instruction and ran over in a hurry. "Sister, what are you doing?"
Xiaoxi dragged him, and the two of them were next to each other, both with their backs to Old Man Chen and Granny Chen, facing the board.
gave Chen Yubin a look and motioned him to cover for himself. Chen Yubin suddenly understood, and went to Xiaoxi's side a little tighter.
Taking advantage of the visual barrier, Xiaoxi laboriously picked up a large pot of warm hawthorn water to dry, put it into the warehouse with mental strength, and put the remaining small half pot of hawthorn mud into the warehouse.
Only then did he turn around and say to Old Man Chen and Granny Chen: "Grandpa, Mother-in-law, do you eat sugar or honey?" ”
