209. I only added a spoonful of salt
Raise the fire and cook a meal? What kind of burning method does this have to burn out so much smoke, it's like a fire! The leaders were in a cold sweat.
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little dizzy, and he said angrily to the cave: "Come out for me!" At this time, it is the crisis of the survival of the village, and everyone is bothering to deceive the imperial court, what kind of mess are you making for me? ”
His angry shout obviously startled Zhang Yingxian in the cave, and after a while, the figure in the smoke flickered, and Zhang Yingxian's figure flashed out of the cave.
Everyone looked at it and saw that she was wearing her favorite set of young lady's clothes, which she wore when she first went up the mountain, and it was the only silk fabric in the village. On the outside of this high-end dress, there was a dirty apron, and on the apron there was a black stain on the left and right.
There were also a few black smudges on her delicate little face, her face was smoky, so it was also a little black, her hair was messy, and there were a few hairs on her left sideburns that were yellowish and curly, as if they had been burned by the flames.
"What the hell are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"I ...... I'm going to make a fire......" Zhang Yingxian saw that her man was angry, and her heart was still a little trembling, so she quickly explained: "I did it like I usually do it in autumn leaves, lighting the wood and stuffing it into the stove...... I don't know why, but suddenly there was so much smoke that I couldn't even finish the chimney...... Cough...... I choked to death, and if the smoke was left in the cave, I wouldn't be able to cook, so I took a fan and pulled the smoke out of the hole...... Well...... That's it...... Really, I don't believe you went into the cave to see, there was no smoke in the cave, and I fanned it out......"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"
Leaders: "......"
Li Chujiu's daughter-in-law was also watching the excitement in the crowd, and hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Why did you raise the fire?" Is it to light the dead leaves first, and then add firewood? ”
"What? So much to pay attention to? I stuffed it all into the stove together! Zhang Yingxian raised her hand as she spoke, and everyone noticed that she was still holding a cypress branch in her hand, and there were some green cypress leaves on the branch: "This kind of branch is so fragrant to burn, I think the rice cooked with it must be very fragrant, so I stuffed it into the stove." ”
Leaders: "......"
People with a little common sense know that there must be a certain order to start a fire, first light the flammable dead leaves or small branches, and then put in large pieces of firewood after the flames are rising, so that the flames can be higher and the smoke is less. If you start by piling up large pieces of firewood or things that are difficult to ignite, it will be difficult for the flames to start and a lot of smoke will be generated.
Moreover, cypress twigs are the most smoky thing, and they are very useful when making bacon, and if they are stuffed in the stove a little, a lot of smoke will escape. Of course, this thing is really fragrant, and the smoked meat will also have the fragrance of cypress. (Later generations made sausages and bacon, mostly using cypress branches.) )
"Sister-in-law...... You...... You do this, and you will make yourself into a bacon ......" The leaders sweated profusely.
"Huh?" Zhang Yingji was stunned, and quickly put her hand to her nose and sniffed: "Huh...... I really smell a bit of bacon? But I raised the fire to make porridge, how can it smell like this? ”
The people were sweating profusely.
Li Chujiu's daughter-in-law looked back, Zhu Bugling's face was a little ugly, she quickly pulled Zhang Yingxian, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't talk about it here...... will be laughed at by everyone, so tired that Brother Zhu will also lose face, you come into the cave with me, and I will teach you to raise the fire......"
The two women held hands and drilled back to the cave where the smoke was billowing out, and after a while, the smoke became less, and it seemed that Li Chujiu's daughter-in-law took care of the messy branches in the stove, and finally changed the situation of the smoky smoke to an open fire.
"How can it be!" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was a little ugly: "At such an important time, give me this trouble!" ”
"Big brother...... Forget it, my sister-in-law is from a rich lady, so it is reasonable that she can't do housework. Wang Er and Desperate Saburo both knew what Zhang Yingxian's background was, so they hurriedly came over to persuade them.
Li Chujiu also walked over and said in a low voice: "Big brother, why is it not Akiba's sister-in-law who cooks today, but instead of sister-in-law cooking?" "It turns out that the leaders in the cottage call Zhu Yuanzhang's two wives, there is a difference, Zhang Yingxian belongs to the original wife, everyone calls her sister-in-law, but Autumn leaves are different, at first she was just a maid, so many people called her Qiuye, and then suddenly became Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, everyone added the word sister-in-law to this title, so it became Qiuye's sister-in-law.
Hearing Li Chujiu mention Autumn Leaves, the anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face slowed down, and said lightly: "Autumn Leaves are pregnant, I asked her to stop doing housework and replace them with Sakura Fairy, but I didn't expect it...... This guy played this with me on the first day. ”
"Huh? Is Akiba's sister-in-law pregnant? Hahaha! That's a ...... Congratulations to Bugs Zhu! ”
"Wow, congratulations to Bugs Zhu!"
"Congratulations...... Brother Zhu has a queen now, haha, Baozhun is a son. ”
The leaders gathered around him, and all the faces of everyone smiled sincerely. In the last life, whenever Zhu Yuanzhang had a son, a large group of ministers would come to congratulate him, saying something like a dragon son, something like someone inheriting a country, and saying that the country was stable.
But this time is different, the simple villagers will not raise the height of having a son, but sincerely congratulate him on having a descendant, but the feelings in this are not half false.
"We should have a good time today!" Wang Er casually grabbed a soldier, laughed and ordered: "You go to my house, ask my daughter-in-law to carry our family's rice pocket, cook a few big pots of porridge today, and let's have a feast." ”
The soldier replied hesitantly and went to find Yingshanhong.
Everyone laughed: "Haha, carrying rice bags should be done by men, Wang Er, you actually asked your wife to do it, are you doing it by men?" ”
"Cut, I'll just say that my marriage to this lady is more useful than the ones you marry." Wang Er said proudly: "Moving bricks and picking rice to fight, my wife does everything, unlike your ladies, who don't know anything except cooking and taking care of children." ”
"But our wife didn't look like that!" Everyone laughed.
"What's wrong with that? I just love it! Wang Er also smiled.
It seems that Zhu Bugling is happy with the matter of your son, which brings up the emotions of the leader, and everyone relaxes.
After a while, Yingshanhong really carried the rice bag, and Qiuye also came back, many leaders returned to their caves, and carried the stored grain, and everyone sat on the ground outside Zhu Yuanzhang's cave, saying auspicious words to Qiuye together, and Qiuye blushed, so he had to keep silent.
The leaders carried the rice bag into Zhu Yuanzhang's cave and handed it to Zhang Yingxian to cook porridge.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little worried: "Looking at her like she is on the fire, can she cook porridge?" Don't waste food. ”
"What's so hard about cooking porridge? Rice and water, just a boiled word, what can happen? What's more, Li Chujiu's daughter-in-law was also watching from the side, and nothing happened. Wang Er said with a smile.
That's it...... Zhu Yuanzhang was originally the surname of doing big things, and he was not in the mood to take care of such small things, so he stopped asking questions and talked to the leaders about the things in the cottage.
After a long time, Zhang Yingxian and Li Chujiu's daughter-in-law walked out with a large pot of porridge, and all the leaders laughed: "Isn't this cooked?" There is porridge to eat, haha, it's a pity that we don't have wine to drink in the village, otherwise we will make a big fuss, and today we will replace the wine with porridge to celebrate Zhu Bugs' happy son. ”
Although Zhang Yingxian's face was blackened by smoke, there was a slight blush under the black face, this was the first time she had cooked in her life, although the main work was done by Li Chujiu's daughter-in-law, but she was also responsible for part of it. The failure to raise the fire just now caused a big oolong, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little angry, and Zhang Yingxian was also quite worried in her heart, hoping that this bowl of porridge would make Zhu Yuanzhang change his opinion of her.
She excitedly scooped a bowl of porridge, handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang's hand a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong taste...... I...... I did it very seriously......"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't notice her little daughter's thoughts at all, in fact, these thoughts, the whole cottage will be Zhang Yingxian alone, because other women are a little bit thick and branched, only Zhang Yingxian has a better background, and has the leisure to think about the little woman's thoughts.
He took the porridge bowl and blew it a few times, blowing the porridge cold.
The leaders also added a bowl to themselves, and the heroes formed a circle, raised the porridge bowl and touched it, laughed three times, and poured the porridge into their mouths boldly......
"Oops......"
"Wow......"
"My mom, this porridge is so salty......"
"Salty to me......"
"What kind of porridge is this?"
"How did you do this?"
All the leaders bowed their heads together, and the sound of spitting porridge sounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that his mouth was like being sprinkled with a handful of sea salt, so salty that it was bitter, so salty that his whole tongue lost its sense of taste, and he was suddenly furious: "What are you doing?" Is this porridge for human beings? How much salt do you put in it? ”
"Huh?" Zhang Yingxian saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry again, and was suddenly startled, and said with a little grievance: "I didn't put it indiscriminately...... The sister-in-law of the Li family said to me that putting a spoonful of salt was just right, so I listened to her and put a spoonful. ”
"Huh? What size spoon are you using? Ying Shanhong asked.
Zhang Yingxian pointed to the pot and said seriously: "It's this spoon ......"
All the leaders turned their heads to look together, and saw that the spoon pointed by Zhang Yingxian was actually a rice spoon......
The crowd was speechless...... Oh, my God...... Can you use a rice spoon to add salt? How can this spoon be confused with the spoon for condiments? Oh, my God!
