Qing'er heard the footsteps behind her getting farther and farther away, and knew that Ban'er had gone out, so she quietly pulled Sister Qiao over and said with a smile: "Girl, don't take what my brother said to heart, he is used to the wilderness in the mountains, what is what, there is no place to avoid people." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info girl just think he doesn't know the world. ”

Sister Qiao also knew that Ban'er was leaving, so she covered her sleeves and chuckled: "It's because you're too careful, I don't mind, your brother is right, I haven't seen these things before, but I only know them thanks to him telling me." ”

Qing'er said: "You said this, but he didn't hear it, and when he heard it, he didn't know what to be proud of." After that, he and Sister Qiao bowed their heads and smiled, and then took her hand to the stove fire, then let go and picked up the firewood and handed it into the stove, went to the cabinet behind him to find out some of the remaining Jiang rice from the previous year's roasted laba porridge, washed it a few times with the water in the barrel next to the stove, and then put it in the pot to add water to boil.

Sister Qiao'er looked more and more fresh on the side, and she was about to squat down to light the fire, so panicked Qing'er hurriedly pulled her up, patted the sparks on her body and said with a smile: "What are you busy with?" How can you stretch out your hand when you cook on this fire, it's strange if grandma doesn't scold me when she sees it. If you want to take a closer look, you just stand behind me and watch, why bother squatting down with me? I haven't seen these in the past, beware of the sparks popping out, burning the clothes is a small matter, and burning the corners of the eyes and eyebrows is a big thing. ”

Sister Qiao counted it down from her, but she still smiled: "If you talk about age, you are a year younger than me, how can I see what you can do, I can't do it?" I don't think this fire is a big deal. Just hand the firewood into the stove, and you can let me try it. As she spoke, she was about to squat down again, but Qing'er saw that she couldn't stop her, so she had to move her body to the side, pointed to the fire burning in the stove, and said to Sister Qiao: "You see that I do it easily, but I don't know that this is because practice makes perfect." Boiling water and cooking rice is not a simple job, if the fire is big, it is easy to burn, and if the fire is small, it is easy to get caught up. What's more, you don't necessarily have to cook white rice every day, if you add porridge, you also have to grasp the mixture of water and rice, more rice boiled into rice, more water boiled into soup. When it comes to cooking, you can't be sloppy at hand, when to make a bigger fire, when to make a smaller fire, are extremely particular. For example, if the meat is burned first, the ointment must be slowly burned into the skin, so that the skin of the pork can be crispy and the flavor will not go away. If there is a high fire, the oil in the meat will fall to the fire, and the skin will be charred and the taste will not be good. There are more dishes with a variety of methods, more and more test the heat, just like the swimming fish in the water, there are bream, crucian carp, silver carp, season fish, bream crucian carp is the most suitable to add wine and autumn oil steaming, silver carp needs to be fried and then boiled with tofu in the same pot, and the season fish has few bones is the most suitable to fry slices, although the same fish, the method is very different, steaming, boiling and frying each need different firepower. You see, don't you have to put a lot of effort into adding fuel to the fire? Qing'er smiled slightly while speaking, Sister Qiao listened carefully on the side, and then I couldn't imagine that there was so much truth in the seemingly simple fire, and I couldn't help but be convinced, half turned my head, and praised Qing'er and said: "You are really a capable girl, I don't know how many years it will take to learn before you do this." ”

Qing'er laughed a few words and said: "This is not a difficult thing, it's just that there are so many people in your family who serve you, and you have your own personal affairs, and the needle and thread can't be piped on the stove, and you are a young lady, and you can't get into the kitchen, so you won't." If you were born and raised here like me, and with the wisdom and wisdom of a girl, you would be much better than me. ”

Sister Qiao smiled and said yes, so she and Qing'er squatted in front of the stove and whispered, the flames in the hearth flickered, and the residual heat hit the face, and it was very warm. Wang Liu came in with a plate of cooked rice noodles, looked down and saw that it was funny and loving, and hurriedly put the things in his hand on the four-corner table on the side, walked to the stove and smiled at them: "If the girl is tired, go to the house and sit with grandma, it is enough to have me and Qing'er here, and be careful about those greasy and dirty stains your clothes." ”

Sister Qiao hurriedly said no, then raised her head and said to Wang Liu: "I just told Qing'er, it turns out that you still have so much attention to burning fires, but I used to be short-sighted, and it was very easy." ”

Wang Liu said with a smile: "There is nothing to pay attention to, but we are thick skin and thick meat, we should do this job, if you don't come, with the identity of the girl, surrounded by the maid and the nurse all day long, I am afraid that I will not be able to touch the edge of the stove for the rest of my life." ”

Sister Qiao and Qing'er couldn't stop laughing, Wang Liu persuaded Sister Qiao a few times to let her sit in the house, Sister Qiao was greedy to talk to Qing'er, so she refused to go away easily, Wang Liu saw that she couldn't move her, so she had no choice but to turn around and bring cooked rice noodles. Lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it a few times, and saw that it was still holding raw rice, so she ordered Qing'er to add more firewood. The two of them burned the fire very vigorously, and after a short time, the rice had been cooked, so Wang Liu went to the spoon to take out the rice, drained the water, and put it on a plate for later use. He asked Qing'er to wash his hands and brought the ground sesame seeds, and wrapped them one by one. Because it was the first time for Sister Qiao to see this, she didn't know what to do, so she had to stand aside and watch sideways.

Just said that Ban'er flashed out, thinking that he had seen Sister Qiao'er, so he didn't need to dress so neatly, he still changed back to his original coarse cloth clothes, and was packing up, just when he saw that the dog had bought wine and meat and came back, he was busy picking it up, and heard him ask: "What about your mother and grandma?" ”

Ban'er pointed to the ash shed, then raised his head and said to the main house: "Mother and Qing'er are cooking, and grandma is still resting in the house." ”

The dog snorted and said, "So, is Miss Qiao with her grandmother?" ”

Ban'er said with a smile: "Miss Qiao was there at Grandma first, and this time she should be talking to her mother and Qing'er by the stove." ”

The dog smiled, looked down at his dress, and wanted to go over to see Sister Qiao. Ban'er stood behind him, carrying a crucian carp, a pound of pork, and a variety of fruits in an assorted box, and went into the ash shed together.

Although the dog is broken, the ancestor was a small Beijing official, and he knew the father of Mrs. Wang, the ancestor of Sister Feng. Because of the snobbery of the greedy Wang family, he Lian Zong recognized him as a nephew. If you count it, when Sister Qiao sees him, she still has to call her uncle.

Therefore, as soon as the dog came in, he saw a cardamom girl standing next to Qing'er's mother and daughter, so he stepped forward and smiled: "This is the Qiao girl that grandma said, right?" I haven't seen it for a long time, but now the girl is good? ”

Sister Qiao heard from her mother Sister Feng that there was a clan of this clan, although there was little contact between the clan relatives at that time, and the relationship was weak, fortunately there was a grandmother who visited the door three times and twice, but she was never far away, so it can be seen that he came, Sister Qiao did not avoid him like avoiding the board, and generously stepped forward and said a blessing: "Please uncle's peace." ”

The dog was so flattered that she wanted to pull her up and knew that it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly called Qing'er to help, and said with a smile: "The girl is too polite, what kind of uncle am I, if you don't see it in the house, we are really passers-by who can't beat the eight poles." ”

Sister Qiao covered her mouth and smiled, Wang Liu also felt that she was respectable, so she didn't stop praising her, Ban'er followed behind, sneering silently, and thought that Sister Qiao was pretending. Qing'er didn't pay attention to his expression because he saw that he was carrying a lot of things in his hand, so he took it with a smile and took them out one by one to show Wang Liu's family, and the two discussed how to cook them.

Qing'er was afraid that the fish would collide with Sister Qiao, so she didn't let her stay and watch at this time, so she pushed her out and asked her to sit and talk to her grandmother. Sister Qiao couldn't, so she had to come out with her, so she might as well bump into Ban'er again, and Qing'er said: "Brother, my mother and I are cooking here, and you sent Miss Qiao to sit at Grandma's." ”

Sister Qiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's the same if I go alone, I don't have to trouble others." ”

Ban'er heard it from the side, and couldn't help but snort lightly in his throat, and said a little reluctantly: "It's only a few steps away from the main house, and you will get lost somewhere." ”

Qing'er smiled: "It's not because of this, it's just that my mother and I can't leave, and the girl can't be left without someone to serve you, so you can send it, just in case the girl is short of something, someone will take care of it." ”

Sister Qiao still didn't even say no, Ban'er saw that Qing'er didn't seem to follow, so she reluctantly agreed, took a step back, and let Sister Qiao go ahead, and she only followed silently behind. I think that Sister Qiao is at home, far away from the second door, recently only in the boudoir, has never been close to young men, although Li Kun occasionally brought Lan Ge'er over, Baoyu Jia Qiang also often seen, but it is just a gift of greetings, like such a solitude has never been. Seeing the embarrassment between the two of them, he looked at the two layers of rocks that overlapped under the corner of the courtyard and stood up and asked, "What is that thing for?" ”

Ban'er looked at it intently, and realized that what she said was a grinding fan for grinding noodles, so she said: "Use it to remove the chaff and grind the flour into flour." ”

Sister Qiao didn't understand it, so she touched the side of the rock and said, "These two things are so heavy, how did you move them?" ”

Ban'er couldn't hold back and laughed, and told her: "See, there is a short vertical shaft in the middle of the upper and lower stone plates, made of iron, and there is a corresponding empty sleeve in the middle of the upper fan. On the opposite side of the two doors, there is an empty chamber, called a grinding chamber, and the outer periphery of the chamber is made into a grinding tooth at the same time. The upper fan has the time of grinding and grinding, and the grain flows into the grinding chamber through the grinding eye, evenly distributed around, is ground into powder, flows from the gap to the grinding disc, and the flour is obtained by sifting and removing the bran. Saying that, I tried it myself, I didn't want Sister Qiao's hand to be on the stone plate and didn't take it away, the board was pushed so hard, and Sister Qiao immediately screamed out in pain.
