027 Steamed cake in a pot
There is no way, pots, bowls and cloths still need to be bought, if the medical expenses required by Ah Qing are really that expensive, I have to borrow some from Xu Zixin.
If he really can't do it, he will sell the recipe of soy sauce, vinegar and soap to Xu Zixin, and open a tavern by himself.
Qu Xiaoqi had long discovered that there was no street tavern in the city at all, only a restaurant that looked luxurious. Perhaps food is too expensive, and only the wealthy in the capital can afford to drink bars.
Pots and bowls are common, and there are quite a few potters here, so she soon bought pots and bowls that are much cheaper than those at grocery stores.
When they walked into the only cloth shop in Fengshui City, the shopkeeper saw that their heads were a little painful, and quickly put away some rags.
The cloth Qu Xiaoqi bought was exactly the same as last time, although the shopkeeper was a little confused, but in the end he still didn't ask.
Qu Xiaoqi didn't have a giveaway this time, but fortunately, his eldest aunt didn't cut open her pair of pillows, otherwise the cloth inside would have been taken away.
Thinking about it, she just vented her anger because she didn't find the silver.
After being away from home for so many days, how could he not bring the silver with him.
Returning with a full load again, Qu Xiaoqi was in a good mood.
The vegetable seeds at home have not been planted yet, and it seems that she will have to buy some vegetables again.
Suddenly, Qu Xiaoqi heard the sound of chirping, and hurriedly dragged Ah Qing forward to look, but he didn't expect to meet a chicken seller rarely.
"Uncle, how do you sell this chicken cub?"
"Three cents for one, twenty dollars for you seven!"
It's only cheaper to buy seven, but now one adult chicken can only be sold for sixty yuan, which is not expensive.
"Do you have a bag for chicken?" Qu Xiaoqi only brought a back basket over, and now that he has a pot and bowl, he can't put the chicken cubs and the bowl together, right?
"Yes, there are paper bags here, I've given them to you, how many do you want?" The old man who sold the chickens took out a brand new paper bag, which was very thin and looked much cheaper than the oiled paper used to hold food.
"Get me seven." If you raise it now, you can kill and eat meat for the Chinese New Year next year.
Through the paper, Qu Xiaoqi was relieved to put the chick into the back basket.
Listening to the panicked scream, the corners of Qu Xiaoqi's mouth hooked into a smile, she didn't have the slightest resistance to this little furry creature.
When she returned home, Qu Xiaoqi found that there were people in the house, she hurried into the kitchen, and now the most valuable thing in the house is these rice.
Fortunately, it was not lost, so she went to the other house to check.
"Xiaoqi, you're back, look at what I brought back for you." Aunt Caifeng was sitting in the house, and when she saw Qu Xiaoqi, she got up to greet her, and took out something from the box she brought.
Qu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, it was a wolf dog cub with a swarthy body.
"I went to the city yesterday and didn't buy it, but I didn't expect that when I inquired today, the cubs born to someone's dog in the village had just been weaned, so I went to ask for one."
"It's so cute." Qu Xiaoqi hurriedly took it, and the little guy wagged his tail and stuck out his tongue to look at Qu Xiaoqi, which looked very pleasing.
"It's a male dog, and when I saw that he was also pleasant, I took him back."
"Thank you, auntie."
Ah Qing put the basket in the kitchen, and then entered the bedroom with the cloth in her arms, and smiled when she saw Aunt Caifeng.
Aunt Caifeng was stunned for a moment, took Qu Xiaoqi aside, and asked, "Ah Qing, isn't he stupid now?" I know how to laugh when I see it, and I know how to put the cloth on the bed. ”
Qu Xiaoqi shook his head, "The blood clot in his brain has spread, and his life may be in danger later." He just can't remember what happened before, he's not stupid, he's learned a lot lately, and he doesn't need me to teach him. ”
"Oh, you have to treat him, if you cure him, you will be much easier." Aunt Caifeng didn't think too much about it, but she just felt that it was a pity that Ah Qing was stupid, if she wasn't stupid, Qu Xiaoqi would be happy.
Qu Xiaoqi nodded.
"If you lack money, tell me, and I'll put it on you first."
"Okay, I'll tell you if I don't have any money, auntie, teach me how to be a female celebrity, I can't wait to wear new clothes."
"You kid."
It was still early, and before it was time for lunch, Qu Xiaoqi began to cut the fabric with great interest.
The cotton and linen fabric is much more comfortable to the touch than Mai, which makes Qu Xiaoqi look forward to the new clothes even more.
The first thing to be made was the quilt, but fortunately, the cotton in the quilt was not lost.
As soon as it was done, it was taken out by Qu Xiaoqi to dry.
It was also close to noon, and Qu Xiaoqi went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
"Ah Qing, you go and call Zhang Jiayong over and let him have lunch at my place."
"Let that kid bring me a piece of meat, and eggs." The room is not soundproof, Qu Xiaoqi's words let Aunt Caifeng hear it, so she shouted in the house.
At this moment, the tailor is still cutting the fabric according to Qu Xiaoqi and Ah Qing's figures, and then teach Qu Xiaoqi how to sew.
This time when he entered the city, Qu Xiaoqi also bought some sugar and milk, which was originally intended to be used to help Ah Qing sleep, and it happened to be used to make some steamed cakes to eat.
Qu Xiaoqi, who hadn't eaten cake for a long time, now began to secrete saliva, his brain turned rapidly, and the work in his hand did not stop.
After a while, the aroma of stir-fried vegetables came out, and the vegetarian dishes made with meat oil were delicious.
Aunt Caifeng smelled the fragrance and walked to the kitchen door to see if there was any work she could do.
The kitchen was shabby, and a hundred catties of rice were placed in almost half of the place.
After staying at Aunt Caifeng's house for one night, Qu Xiaoqi was a little dissatisfied with her current small house, and after Ah Qing's illness was cured, she would definitely build a big house.
Qu Xiaoqi didn't make the cake until after lunch, but before eating, he reminded Zhang Jiayong to keep some stomach, and there would be something delicious for a while.
It seems that Ah Qing also deliberately ate a lot less, and then pestered Zhang Jiayong to teach him to read.
"Don't get too tired." Qu Xiaoqi instructed, and then went into the kitchen.
Milk is actually the milk of cultivated cows, which is rare, almost all of them sell goat's milk, and Qu Xiaoqi hates the smell of goat's milk.
When she bought it, she also asked why no one sells milk.
The cows here don't have enough milk to drink, and his family has the calf died accidentally, so he squeezed out the milk to see if it could be sold.
This thing is not easy to put away, it is easy to break, and the milk seller does not milk much.
Qu Xiaoqi met this and was fortunate to drink milk.
Farming cows don't produce as much milk as cows, and I don't know if there are cows in other countries, so I have to buy two to go home.
Milk is a good thing, and it can be made into many kinds of food.
When the steamed cake was baked, Zhang Jiayong still had the heart to teach Ah Qing, so he hurriedly ran to the kitchen door to probe his brain.
Taking out a large piece of cake, Zhang Jiayong didn't have many eggs, and it was estimated that Aunt Caifeng didn't have many eggs at home.
The rest of the milk was just heated up and given to Ah Qing to drink.
Qu Xiaoqi divided the steamed cake into four parts, and Zhang Jiayong couldn't wait to take a piece, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he took a bite directly.
Aunt Caifeng had never seen a steamed cake, so she took a small bite after picking it up, and then her eyes lit up.
"How do you do that? It's delicious! Better than the pastries sold in the city! Xiaoqi, if you take this out and sell it, you will definitely make money! ”
"I make it out of milk, it's rare, there's no way to sell it."
"Milk, hey, it's a pity." Not to mention the DPRK, even the cultivated cattle of other countries are scarce, and they are not enough to cultivate the land, so there is no way to breed them in large quantities.
"Rare things are expensive, mother, we can eat such a delicious food in the world, you can steal the fun." Zhang Jiayong was satisfied, he had never eaten anything with this taste.
It's fragrant, sweet and soft, but it's a pity that I'm still a little choked after eating too much. This Qu Xiaoqi had thought of it a long time ago, and had already brought four bowls of water.
"You eat slowly, no one will rob you. The other scholars look very well-behaved, why don't you look like a reader at all. Aunt Caifeng said, Zhang Jiayong made a grimace with a hippie smile, and continued to eat her steamed cake.
Ah Qing was still as silent as before, eating the steamed cake one bite at a time, and the things in her hands were like rare treasures.
After eating and drinking, Qu Xiaoqi began to rush to work clothes.
She makes Ah Qing's, and Aunt Caifeng does hers.
It was to practice with Mai first, this process was not as simple as Qu Xiaoqi imagined, they did it for an afternoon, and it was only half completed.
Aunt Caifeng said that she would come over to help her sew clothes in the afternoon of the next few days, and asked Qu Xiaoqi to buy some fabric and cotton, and strive to make winter clothes before winter.
Qu Xiaoqi wanted to leave Aunt Caifeng to finish eating, but Aunt Caifeng refused.
Seeing Zhang Jiayong's appearance, he really wanted to stay and eat, but in the end he was taken away by Aunt Caifeng, and the way the mother and son got along made Qu Xiaoqile blossom.
Although the old doctor and Aunt Caifeng both call their sons stinky boys, according to the arrogant nature of the old doctor, they will never let their son play treasure with him like this.
Aunt Caifeng has also learned a lot from herself, and cooking some home-cooked meals will definitely be delicious.
It's just that Qu Xiaoqi always has some strange and delicious food here that attracts Zhang Jiayong, not to mention Zhang Jiayong, even Aunt Caifeng likes Qu Xiaoqi to get those foods.
It is difficult for the people of the DPRK to even have a full stomach, so how can they still pay attention to the study of the deliciousness of food?
To say that the food cooked by those restaurants in the capital is not necessarily as delicious as Qu Xiaoqi's.
The quilt that was sun-dried was warm, and Qu Xiaoqi could be said to have had a good night's sleep.
When I got up the next day, I was busy feeding the chickens, and the wild vegetables outside the yard were simply cleaned by Qu Xiaoqi, and they were chopped into small pieces with a knife, which was the breakfast for these chickens.
If she wants to grow vegetables, she also needs to build a fence in the yard.
The puppy is not as recognizant as when he first arrived at the house, and is wagging his tail and rubbing Xiaoqi's calf at the moment.
