Chapter 49: Porridge

Cao Zhijin looked at Wen Hai and said with a smile: "Wen Hai, I'll teach you the staple food, can you do me a favor?"

"Really! Good! Wen Hai smiled innocently and nodded happily.

Cao Zhijin saw that he promised so happily, and smiled helplessly: "You haven't listened to me yet, what are you busy with!"

Wen Hai smiled magnificently: "As long as I can help, shouldn't I help you?"

Cao Zhijin said: "You better listen to me first!"

"I want to ask you to do me a favor, if you draw lots in tomorrow's game, can you not choose my husband as an opponent?"

Wen Hai didn't think about it: "Don't worry, I just want to compete with my senior brother, if I am the one who draws the lot, I will definitely choose my senior brother!"

Cao Zhijin winked at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin expressed concern.

Cao Zhijin gave him a confident smile back.

She knew what he was worried about.

Although she can't cook, she can make medicine, and what she wants to do this time is medicinal food.

She remembered the bundle of sweet glutinous grass that Chen Fansheng gave her last time, so she said to Xiao Yin: "Ah Yin, the sweet glutinous grass you brought last time is in the box under the desk in my room, can you help me bring it?"

Xiao Yin comprehended and ran out to get the sweet glutinous grass.

In order to make it easier to preserve, the sweet glutinous grass in her hand has been air-dried and dried.

Cao Zhijin soaked it in a basin of water, and after a while, the wrinkled branches and leaves of the sweet glutinous grass soon unfurled, revealing a fresh emerald green.

Wen Hai leaned over curiously to look, he had never seen this kind of grass before.

I saw that its branches were small and the leaves were narrow and long, and if you didn't look carefully, it looked like a weed.

But in fact, each of its leaves grows neatly and neatly, and the tail end of the narrow leaf is not as sharp as ordinary grass leaves, but round and oval.

Although its branches are small, after being soaked in water, the water-soaked branches look crystal clear, like translucent crystals, and it is difficult to hide its brilliance.

A sentence suddenly popped into his mind: it looks like grass but has the cultivation of flowers.

Cao Zhijin plucked the leaves of the sweet glutinous grass, except for the small cluster of flower-like leaves at the top, she removed all the leaves one by one, and cleaned the remaining stems.

With the strength in hand, he directly wrung off the handful in his hand, divided it into two sections, and then put it together in the jar that had been cleaned a long time ago.

Hearing only a crisp sound of "click", Wen Hai only felt that another little bit of cool water stains splashed on his face, and a faint sweet smell suddenly passed by the tip of his nose.

He felt his whole body stretch out.

Cao Zhijin raised the stove, added water to the jar, then closed the lid, sat on a small bamboo chair in front of the stove, held a pu fan in his hand, and only lightly clicked a few times, and the stove that was still slowly floating with smoke just now suddenly burned brightly.

Her whole set of movements is smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Yin was stunned.

Didn't you say you couldn't cook?

Cao Zhijin smiled confidently, she just used all the ingredients as medicinal materials, and she didn't know how to use the stove for cooking, but she was familiar with the stove she used to boil medicine before!

After a while, there was a hot and sweet smell wafting from the stove, which was slightly different from the sweetness that Wen Hai smelled just now, and there was no raw smell in this fragrance now.

It's not that the fragrance just now is not good, it can only be said that each has its own merits!

Cao Zhijin wrapped the handle of the jar with a wet handkerchief, poured the boiled transparent juice into a large bowl, then poured the residue, poured the juice back into the jar, poured the washed rice into it, covered it, and used a fan to fan the stove.

Cao Zhijin sat in front of the stove and calmed down, fanning the fan a few times from time to time, looking leisurely, but the two people standing in front of the stove were not so stable in their hearts.

Smelling the scent wafting from the jar, they were about to salivate.

In this room full of incense, it was torturous for them to stay for a while, but their feet seemed to be fixed on the ground, and they had no intention of moving their positions at all.

At this moment, their thoughts are all on this jar that is still bubbling white, and they have completely lost their sense of time.

I just feel that the time is very long, getting longer and longer.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw Cao Zhijin stand up and seal the fire, stand up, take a wet handkerchief, bring the jar to the stone next to it, and open the lid.

A hot white gas rushed to the face, and it also brought a sweet and soft dreamy taste.

The two took a closer look and saw that there was a jar of white-scented porridge in the jar.

Unlike the usual porridge, its soup is not off-white, but transparent!

Every grain of rice was white and soft, like clouds in the sky being kneaded into many balls, and all of them were stuffed into this jar.

There wasn't much soup in the jar, just right to submerge every white dumpling.

After opening the jar, the sweet and soft smell just now was even worse, and the two of them only felt that after a few sounds from their aunt, their stomachs were empty, and a feeling called hunger hit like a shower.

Cao Weaving Brocade filled two large bowls, leaving the tips of the leaves that had just been reserved on the white porridge, which looked like a little jade on a piece of white jade.

The two of them didn't care about the heat, and quickly took a bite, only to feel soft and sweet, and their lips and teeth were fragrant.

They swore they had never tasted porridge so pure.

Yes, it's pure, it looks like nothing, but the flavor is just right!

This sweetness is a perfect sweetness!

Cao Zhijin pointed to the blade of grass in their bowl that they could avoid, and said, "Try this!"

The two glanced at each other: "It's not a leaf just picked from the grass, it's not cooked, it's just a raw leaf, is there anything special?"

They took a skeptical bite.

The leaves were not as unpalatable as expected, but had the sweetness of fruit, but did not have the greasy taste of fruit.

Suddenly, they felt that the tip of their tongue was much refreshed, and when they ate the porridge again, the other miscellaneous flavors in their mouths were gone, and they could completely taste the complete sweetness of this bowl of porridge!

Seeing the shock on their faces, Cao Zhijin explained: "The leaves of sweet glutinous grass have the effect of cleansing the taste buds, and the juice boiled from its branches is extremely sweet, which cannot be replaced by any kind of seasoning on the market, and it is the best for cooking porridge or soup!"

"Moreover, sweet glutinous grass has the effect of eliminating food and nourishing the stomach, and it is a top-grade medicinal herb."

"Wen Hai, this remaining sweet glutinous grass can still be enough for you to cook two jars of porridge." She handed the remaining sweet glutinous grass to Wen Hai and said to him, "I will write it down for you just now, you just need to follow the above to ensure that the taste is exactly the same as this one." ”

"Thank you so much, Brocade, I've never drunk such a delicious porridge!" Wen Hai held the bowl in one hand and excitedly took the remaining sweet glutinous grass with the other.

Cao Zhijin smiled: "You're welcome, didn't you help me too?"

Wen Hai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I say!"
