20. Boil tea

Song Lingxue sighed in her heart, but she didn't show it, because the Liu family has always been so capable, and the original owner took a fancy to it at the beginning, so he told the boss Yao Shishi that the Liu family was his daughter-in-law.

At the beginning, Liu's family had no one to come to the door to propose marriage because his mother's family was poor, so when the original owner called the matchmaker to come over, Liu's father and mother agreed without asking for much dowry.

In fact, it is not terrible for the peasant family to be poor, what is terrible is that they are poor and can live, Liu's mother's family is like this, Liu's family is the third in the family, there is a sister above, an elder brother, and four younger brothers below, all say that half of the eldest son eats Lao Tzu, not to mention four and a half children, so Liu's mother's family is very poor, so poor that they can't open the pot.

Ten miles and eight villages know the Liu family, and they are not willing to marry the daughters of the Liu family, because they are afraid that they will drag such a maiden family and subsidize the maiden family when the time comes, the eldest sister of the Liu family still marries back to the Liu family's maternal uncle's family, and she is also poor, and no one dislikes anyone's family.

So after the Liu family got married, there was only a bag of sweet potatoes as a dowry, so she was very afraid of the mother-in-law of the original owner, but fortunately, although the Liu family's family was poor, they were all honest, and they never came to the Yao family to fight the autumn breeze, plus the Liu family worked hard and honestly, and the original owner did not hate this eldest daughter-in-law.

"Mother, you, why did you bring all the egg frames?" Liu didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking when she stood in front of the board, but after seeing the egg basket in her hand, she asked in surprise.

Song Lingxue then said: "This basket of eggs has been eaten for more than a month, and it is hot in the sky, and the chicks can hatch after eating!" ”

Liu obviously didn't understand Song Lingxue's humor, she was even more surprised, her eyes widened and she picked up an egg and looked at it for a long time, and said strangely: "Mother, can you hatch chicks without a hen?" ”

Song Lingxue choked, she was joking, okay, she couldn't hear this, she complained in her heart, and glared at her like usual: "There are too many words!" ”

Liu habitually shrunk his neck again, and was said a few words by Song Lingxue, telling her not to shrink her neck in the future, it was ugly to death, and Liu was in a hurry.

Then Song Lingxue helped Liu, beat three eggs in the bowl, stirred them well, cooked them, and chopped them into the vegetable filling.

It's just that Song Lingxue doesn't know how to wrap the vegetable buns, watching Liu pinch the dough with one hand and put the stuffing in the other, I don't know how to turn in a circle, the round big bun with folds will become, and after a while, the whole two grates will be wrapped.

Liu put a grate of nest and two grate vegetable buns into the pot and prepared to steam, Song Lingxue put a few washed taro and small sweet potatoes into the gap on the grate before she put the cage lid, and put the remaining six eggs on it to steam together.

After the lid of the cage is closed, you don't have to worry about it, just fill the stove with a few thick sticks of dry firewood, and make the fire big and vigorous.

With the help of Liu, he cut the remaining dough in half with a knife, some of the pies used to wrap the filling of lard and green onion and meat residue, and some of which were rolled out into thin cakes with a rolling pin, smeared with oil and stacked on the curtain made of sorghum stalks, and took them to the stove to make pancakes in another small pot.

The pot is very hot, smear the oil on the cake, turn it twice and it is cooked, and in a short time the golden pancakes on both sides are stacked high on the sorghum stalk curtain.

Next, the pie was baked, then the chili pepper and artichoke shreds were fried, and finally the small pot was washed and boiled with some gruel......

When everything was done, it was dark outside the window, the sky was white, and dawn had just arrived. Looking at the food that had been wrapped in a clean cloth towel and neatly put into the back basket, Song Lingxue was once again impressed by Liu's stove kung fu.

"Mother, while it's not yet dawn, you hurry up and eat something, get ready to go, it's not hot at this time, it's just right to hurry." As he spoke, Liu pulled out the firewood in the stove and buried it in the ashes below to extinguish it, and at the same time lifted the lid of the cage, and suddenly the entire stove room was filled with steaming mist.

After the mist dissipated, the vegetable buns that were a little yellowish but still fat and soft on the grate were revealed, and Song Lingxue almost couldn't help but go over and grab one.

Liu took a gourd scoop and scooped a scoop of cold water into the water tank and poured it into the pot, and then took the grates on the pot one by one and put them on the board.

Liu scooped a bowl of porridge for Song Lingxue, took a burrito and vegetable buns, thought for a while and took an egg from the grate, but Song Lingxue refused.

"I'll eat a vegetable bun and drink the porridge." Song Lingxue took the porridge and buns, sat down at the table in the corner of the stove room, and explained while eating: "Aren't there many vegetable buns, and they are not easy to spoil, just pack more, just put seven or eight meat pies, five or six burrito cakes, and put eggs on them to take, and then buy some for the children to eat." ”

Song Lingxue explained, Liu nodded in response, and then took a meat pie over, and said: "Mother, you also eat more, the distance of more than thirty miles is not close, you just can't be tired when you are sick, you blame your daughter-in-law for being timid and afraid of things, otherwise I won't let you run around." ”

Song Lingxue shook her head, she couldn't eat the lard meat scraps early in the morning, although it was very fragrant, it was too greasy, it was not as good as this vegetable bun!

"Forget it, give me that vegetable bun again, you've been tired for a long time, sit down and eat a bun and rest for a while."

Liu obviously didn't expect to be so cared about by her mother-in-law, and she was suddenly flattered, and there were still some tears in her eyes when she looked closely.

"......" Song Lingxue was stunned for a second, this is too easy to be moved.

Liu still didn't eat, only said that he would have breakfast with his family in the evening, and then continued to be busy.

Song Lingxue didn't force it, and after eating, she saw that Liu put three water bladders in the basket, so she asked, "This won't leak." ”

"No, it's strict!" Liu picked up the water bladder and shook it, making sure it wouldn't flow out, and said with a smile: "My mother still knows a lot, I just know that I can eat the cabbage, but I don't know that boiling water and drinking it can also clear away heat and relieve heat, and I also put some brown sugar, and the taste is also delicious." ”

"I've heard a bell doctor who passed by before." Song Lingxue explained casually.

When Song Lingxue went to her grandmother's house when she was a child, the people there drank dandelion boiled water, which cleared away heat and detoxified, and could also play a role in relieving heat.

Not only did she boil the water, but she also took a packet of brown sugar and some washed and dried dandelions, and prepared to let them soak themselves in water and drink later.

Then he went back to the house and took the three of Yao Dazhuang and his son yesterday to prepare Shi Lan's new change of clothes, which was also full of baskets, but fortunately, except for the three water bladders, which weighed a little, the rest were not very heavy.

"In the future, the matter of the stove room will be handed over to you, the work of the second family is not good, I will detain her to do embroidery work with Shi Lan to earn some money, don't feel unfair, and then I will help you do something about the stove room." Song Lingxue still said a few words to Liu before leaving.

Liu Shi hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, wanting to explain that she was not dissatisfied, she was not good at embroidery, clumsy, and the work on the stove room was quite good, and she also liked to stay in the stove room and cook food for the family, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would not let her do the work in the stove room!

Song Lingxue stopped Liu's explanation, and said again: "Mother knows that you are a real person, and I will not search the food at home in the future, our family will get better and better in the future, I don't want you to think that I am unfair, I promised her to do every ten wen of embroidery work she did as a reward, and you can do whatever you want, you have no financial resources when you are busy working in the stove, I will give you a penny every time you have income, the same as the second family, impartial." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the ecstatic Liu, and went back to his room.
