Chapter Ninety-Four: Farming

"Tiny, cooking." Cui Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that it was Aunt Bao'e who came.

"Why is my aunt here?" In the past few days, every household has been harvesting wheat, and it is not good to be busy, why is Aunt Bao'e free to come over?

"I'll come over and help you cook." Aunt Bao'e explained with a smile, "Xiaohui said, this farm can't help you harvest wheat, but it's still okay to cook." ”

"What about Sister Xiaohui?" Cui Xiaoxiao asked, Sister Xiaohui is not more suitable than Aunt Bao'e, how can Aunt Bao'e be better than Sister Xiaohui in the field? Won't Aunt Bao'e delay the work in the field?

"Oh, Xiaohui is harvesting wheat with her uncle in the field." Aunt Bao'e said, "I came back to cook, Xiaohui asked me to help you cook, saying that you must be the only one in the family to cook, and she really let her tell you." ”

Nani, Cui Xiaoxiao glanced at Aunt Bao'e several times without a trace, is this the role reversed, shouldn't it be the mother who assigns her daughter to do things, and the mother goes to the ground and her daughter goes home to cook?

Seeing that Aunt Bao'e is very good to Xiaohui on weekdays, isn't it that she doesn't feel sorry for her daughter?

But Cui Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Bao'e's natural expression, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, so she forcibly suppressed the doubts in her heart.

"Sister-in-law finished the meal?" Cui Xiaoxiao hurriedly diverted the topic, for fear that she would not hold back and ask.

"The wowotou is steamed, the vegetables are washed and cut, and you can go home and fry it later." Aunt Bao'e also rolled up her sleeves and washed the dishes with Xiaoxiao.

"Aunt Bao'e, you can help me go to the steamer for rice, I'll wash this dish." Aunt Bao'e was dangling in front of her eyes, and Cui Xiaoxiao couldn't help but gossip in her heart, so let Aunt Bao'e go elsewhere.

"What kind of rice are you cooking?" Aunt Bao'e frowned, "Rice is not hungry. I won't be hungry until it gets dark. Cutting wheat is hard work, and you can't eat enough. ”

Aunt Bao'e walked around the kitchen and said, "There is no dough here, and there are no steamed buns, so let's make some cakes, white flour and cornmeal, which are not only hunger-resistant but also cheaper than rice." ”

Rice is not tolerant of hunger. Cui Xiaoxiao, who has never done any heavy body work, said that he didn't know. But Aunt Bao'e will not fool herself. Let's just make a few good dishes yourself.

The main dish is a large stew, and Cui Xiaoxiao simply cut it into large pieces. Eating a piece is a piece.

"Tiny, you cut some potatoes into it." Aunt Bao'e looked at the meat on the board and said, "You cut this meat in half and keep it for the evening." ”

This piece of meat weighs three pounds. Cut it in half, a pound of meat. The palm-sized meat, and then the larger cut, you can really know at a glance how many pieces of meat are on the plate.

Uncle Guo and his wife are here to help, so this dish can't be too shabby.

Cui Xiaoxiao turned around and took some potatoes to wash. Forget it, it's not much to cut all the meat in, think about the amount of food that Uncle Guo and his two brothers eat, it's better to put some potatoes.

I guess it's because of the whole day's dry work. The people here can really eat, even the amount of food that a child of a few years old in Jinbao can compare to the amount of food of a strong man in his previous life.

Aunt Bao'e watched Cui Xiaoxiao wash potatoes. I just listened to my own words, and I concentrated on kneading the dough.

Big stewed meat, sour and hot cucumbers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried meat with beans, there is not much time, Cui Xiaoxiao made these dishes, but the portions were very sufficient, in addition to boiling a pot of mint mung bean soup.

These dishes also took some effort to stew meat, and after Cui Xiaoxiao finished cooking these dishes, Aunt Bao'e baked more than 30 cakes.

Cui Xiaoxiao is powerless to complain about this, and after realizing that he can't reach that height in this life, he really can't have any other feelings except for exclamation.

All kinds of dishes were packed for Aunt Bao'e, and Aunt Bao'e's family was only four people in total, and Aunt Bao'e went home and cooked a little more to eat.

After scooping two basins of clean water into the yard, Cui Xiaoxiao ran to the field to call someone back for dinner. After a while, the water will be warm, and it is just right to wash your face.

The sun at noon is the most poisonous, and there is no place to cool down in the field, even if it is not comfortable to eat, it is better to come back to eat, have a good meal and rest, and only then will you have more strength to work in the afternoon.

Uncle Guo didn't agree to come back to eat, but Cui Xiaoxiao didn't take the meal at all, so he couldn't work on an empty stomach, so he had no choice but to reluctantly go back, and Uncle Guo and his wife came back with the host.

After cutting the wheat for a long time, I don't know what is stained on my body, itchy, washed with warm water, and my body is a lot more comfortable.

Even Uncle Guo, who was blowing his beard and staring in the field, looked a lot better, but he was still angry, how much work was delayed in this back and forth, and how much less wheat was cut!

After washing, Cui Xiaoxiao served a bowl of Bo and mung bean soup to one person, which had been dried for a long time, and it was just right to drink it warmly. After working for half a day, I must be thirsty, and after drinking the soup and resting enough, I have the appetite to eat.

Uncle Guo, who was drinking the soup, felt that Cui Xiaoxiao was really intimate, not to mention drinking such a bowl of soup, and his whole body was a lot more comfortable. It's just that it's too good at enjoyment, why can't the croppers eat in the field, where is it so particular?

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay her work, and hurriedly put the meal on the table. Originally, Uncle Guo was angry, and if he delayed it, he would blow his beard and stare again, Cui Xiaoxiao felt that he had spoiled this old man, he was old and like a child, and when the child was disobedient, he had to educate him! Cui Xiaoxiao decided to educate Uncle Guo more in the future!

After the wind and clouds, looking at the dishes on the table, Cui Xiaoxiao finally understood why he had to make some hard dishes when he was busy with farming, four dishes, oh, no, it was four pots of vegetables, plus thirty cakes, three big and three small (Cui Xiaoxiao's snacks can be ignored) to eat a fine light. What is a rice bucket, this is it!

I finally understand why the country should vigorously advocate rejuvenating the country through science and education and cultivating intellectual talents, because mental workers eat less, and if they are all such bucket-shaped workers, food and clothing will probably still be a problem, right?

When delivering mint soup in the afternoon, Cui Xiaoxiao once again saw what was edible, and brought a basket of washed tomatoes and cucumbers, plus leftover cakes at noon, and a bucket of mint mung bean soup, all of whom were wiped out.

Cui Xiaoxiao was so shocked that he just wanted to learn from the Monkey King, turn into mosquitoes and flies and fly into their stomachs to see if they have four stomachs, so they can eat like this!

As the sun set west, the afterglow reflected the clouds in the sky, and they continued westward, falling into the horizon for a while, and all the splendor was hidden, and nothing could be seen clearly, so that the group stopped their sickles, loaded the cut wheat into the ox cart, and walked back.

Cui's family is built at the foot of the mountain, far away from the village, and one advantage is that there is no need to fight for the wheat field, the village store is so big, first served, almost every time the farm is busy, there are people fighting for this wheat field. (To be continued.) )
