Chapter 8 Daily Housework
On the other side is a cupboard with some commonly used grains underneath, some dishes and chopsticks and leftover meals on top.
Under normal circumstances, the bottom of the cabinet is locked, and today it is estimated that when the Yun family left, he was afraid that Dong Xue'er would not eat, but now the lock is open.
From this detail, it can be seen that the Yun family does not have her daughter in her heart at all.
There is also a square table on the east side, where most of the time the family of three eats.
There are two large jars and a small jar next to it, one jar is pickled sauerkraut, and the other jar is water.
In the other small vat was a vat of lard.
This lard was baked with pig fat after the Dong family killed the New Year's pig a few years ago.
Usually, Yun's uses lard, and only during festivals or when you are entertained, you will use soybean oil to fry vegetables.
In Dong Xueer's memory, there is already soybean oil in this era, and people here will grow soybeans and use them to extract oil from the oil mill, and the remaining soybean cakes will be used to feed livestock.
There are also several pickle jars on the ground, which are filled with all kinds of pickles.
Xue'er picked up the pine needles used to start the fire, lit the pine needles with flint, and slowly added some finer firewood.
Pick up the gourd scoop on the stove, scoop the water and brush the pot, and by the way, use the water to brush the pot to blanch the pig food.
The pig food used to feed the pigs is rice bran and soybean cake (soybean cake is a cake made of soybean dregs left over after oil extraction, and it is loosely used after blistering), this kind of soybean cake has been seen in the modern countryside, but the soybean cake here is much rougher than the modern one, and then a little large grain of salt is added.
Although the salt here is controlled by the imperial court, because Wanghai Town in Changhai County itself has a salt farm under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, Dong Changhe can easily get cheap large-grain salt.
In order to make the pig grow stronger, Yun's will put a little salt in the pig food every time, if it is a pot of water after the stew to scald the pig food, there is no need to put it, if it is water, put some.
Xue'er inherited the memory of the original owner, and she did these things to capture.
After brushing the pot and scalding the pig food, Xue'er poured water into the pot, turned around and went to the chicken coop to pick up a few eggs, and there will definitely be freshly laid eggs in the morning.
When I woke up in the morning, the original owner had already handed over the eggs laid last night to the Yun clan and locked them up.
Although the wound on Xue'er's head is nothing in front of her, she has lost too much blood before and must be repaired.
She couldn't take care of Yun's rules, so she washed the two of them and put them in the pot, and then lifted the pig food bucket to feed the two piglets.
The pig food bucket is a bit big, and Xue'er has to hold it with two hands to hold it, while lamenting that the original owner is not easy, Xue'er doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with doing this.
After all, when she lived with her grandmother, she was used to doing this kind of work, and the steps were almost the same.
The pigsty is in the backyard, there are two and a half piglets in it, the piglets are a little hungry, they are screaming, and they are even more happy to see Xue'er coming to feed, and they are happy to shake their ears and tails, and you arch me, I arch you, and then go to the edge of the stone trough.
When Huzi saw the little master, he also wagged his tail happily, and stepped forward to join in the fun.
Cher touched his head and called, "Huzi." Its tail wagged even more happily.
Seeing that the piglets couldn't wait, Xue'er scooped the hot pig food into the stone trough one by one, and the two grabbed the food.
Xue'er touched Huzi who was circling around her again and said, "Huzi, you are obedient and take care of the house, and I will feed you again at night." ”
Huzi seemed to understand, and with a puff of words, he turned around and went back to his nest.
After scooping up the last bit of pig food, she returned to the kitchen with the bucket, the water in the pot was already boiling.
Scoop out the boiling water and disinfect the wooden basin placed on the shelf next to the door with boiling water, this wooden basin is usually used to wash hands in the kitchen, and Cher remembers the other for washing feet.
After brushing the wooden basin, Xue'er mixed the water with two scoops of hot water to one scoop of cold water, then found the honey locust powder, untied the double bun on her head, and cleaned up the blood stains and wounds on her head.
After washing it three times, and finally washing the wound with the salt water from the large grains of salt, the salt water was applied to the wound and the painful Xue'er gasped, just the wound was bleeding again, Xue'er couldn't care about the pain, and had to hold the wound with a fine linen.
Put the fire in the stove away, put a steaming rack in the pot, put the leftovers of the morning on top and heat it up, and cover the pot with a wooden lid.
After taking care of these, Cher returned to her bedroom, slowly took off the burlap that held the wound, quickly applied the wound medicine, replaced it with a clean linen cloth, and couldn't let go of the hand holding the wound, Cher picked up the cloth towel with her other hand to dry her hair.
She had already looked in the mirror just now, and the wound was an inch long, and the flesh was turned out, and it looked terrifying. In modern times, it is estimated that you would have to go to the hospital for stitches.
Fortunately, the wound is above the temple, if it is a little lower, it is estimated that Dong Xue'er's body will already be cold, and there will be no crossing of his own.
And the wound is in the hair, even if there is a scar, it will not affect the appearance.
Xue'er herself is a face control, and she likes handsome men and beautiful women in both lives.
In her previous life, she was a gorgeous-looking woman.
In this life, Dong Xueer is also a beautiful little girl, but because of long-term malnutrition, she has yellow muscles and thin muscles.
Dong Xue'er's appearance is seven points like the original owner's father, and three points like the original owner's grandmother, and there is nothing wrong with her facial features and figure, which makes Yan Kong's Xue'er very happy.
In addition, although she was good-looking and had a good temperament in her previous life, she belonged to the kind of person who was a little fatter, if she accidentally ate too much, she would soon get fat, in order to maintain her figure, she ate a lot of food less.
In this life, it is estimated that she will not have such scruples again, the original owner's parents are on the thin side.
At present, this body still looks malnourished, and she does not have to worry about losing weight in the short term.
Get out of the room and into the yard to dry your half-dried hair faster.
Dong Xue'er's hair is a little yellow, but it is very long, and it is waist-high.
Because of the wound, she couldn't comb her double bun, so she wrapped a few circles around her head with a linen cloth to treat the wound, and finally Xue'er simply braided her hair twice.
The food in the kitchen was already hot, and Xue'er devoured the two boiled eggs, and put half a bowl of the hot cooked small rice, and ate it with the pickles, which made her stomach feel much more comfortable.
Clean up the kitchen, pull out the firewood from the stove, and douse it with water.
Pacing out of the kitchen, Xue'er still remembered that there were still three sheep in the backyard, and in the morning, Dong Xue'er did housework before she had time to herd the sheep, and was beaten to death by the original owner's mother.
