Chapter 24: Enlightenment
The so-called vegetable soup stewed cake is to cut the vegetable pot with water, then add water to boil, and put the cake cut into pieces or strips into the pot and cook it slightly.
In this way, soups, dishes, and staple foods are available.
If it is not enough, there are also multigrain cakes made in advance, and you can eat a little with the salty and fragrant risotto soup.
The little Zhong Ling has already learned to be careful with his calculations.
As soon as she said her plan, Yuan Ning frowned and said, "It doesn't taste good to save this bit of baked cake until tomorrow, so let's eat it separately, and keep these multigrain cakes for tomorrow."
Zhong Ling pouted, "But eldest sister, these are all fine grains...... "Keeping it for tomorrow is equivalent to eating two meals of fine grain in a row!"
Yuan Ning sighed, "I want to eat fine grains, it's okay, I promise to bring some back the next time I enter the city, don't save it now." You've all reminded me that kind of food saving is unacceptable.
"In the future, if there is anything delicious, I will eat it while it is fresh, because the taste will change after a long time. Even if you want to share it with your family, you have to share the freshness, if it is not fresh, it is better not to share.
"It's like eating fruit, why do you pick up the bad and eat it first? After you eat the bad food, the good ones are not fresh or spoiled, and in the end you eat the bad things in your stomach, and you don't even taste the original taste of the fruit.
"It's the same with this baked cake, if you eat it tomorrow, or eat risotto, how can you taste what it tastes like? Originally, we came back all the way, and the taste of the baked cakes could not be compared with the freshly baked ones, and you had to save them until tomorrow, and the taste would be even worse.
"If it's winter, I won't say anything, and it doesn't matter if I leave it overnight, but it's still quite hot now. Obedient, all eaten! ”
Bo Zhong nodded again and again, and said to Zhong Ling: "Listen to the eldest sister, eat!" "Took the initiative to break a baked cake, gave half to Zhong Ling, and half to Shu Yu.
The white flour cake was mixed with five-spice powder and salt, and it tasted soft and fragrant, and after only one bite, Zhong Ling nodded again and again, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Then he asked, "Eldest sister, eldest brother, have you eaten?" ”
Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong replied in unison: "I've eaten it!" ”
Shu Yu believed it, took a big bite of the baked cake, squinted his eyes and said, "Fragrant!" "Although it is not the same taste as the meatloaf, this noodle is more porcelain, chewy, and has not only the aroma of white flour, but also the aroma of five-spice powder, which is unprecedentedly delicious.
Zhong Ling still refused to believe it, and handed half of the baked cake in his hand to Yuan Ning, "Eldest sister, you have to eat some more after eating, it's still early, otherwise you will definitely be hungry in the middle of the night." ”
Yuan Ning smiled, took it, and praised it: "My second sister is really sensible and caring." ”
Not to be outdone, Shu Yu stuffed the baked cake in his hand into Bo Zhong's mouth, "Big brother, you eat it too!" It's delicious! ”
Bo Zhong turned his head in disgust, "You guy, what are you doing with the things you have gnawed on me?" ”
Shu Yu was still young, he ate in a hurry, and there was a piece of saliva on the bitten baked cake.
Seeing that he was disgusted, Shu Yu pursed his lips, simply took a new baked cake, and handed it to Bo Zhong in a muttering manner.
Bo Zhong hesitated for a moment, and only tore a small piece down, "I'm already full, and the meaning is done." ”
Yuan Ning paused as he ate the cake, and soon ate it as if nothing had happened.
When the younger brothers and sisters were asleep, she called Bo Zhong aside and whispered to him: "In the future, whatever your brothers and sisters give you to eat, you can continue, even if you want to eat a little, don't live up to their kindness." And, one more thing, if you always refuse, they will get used to enjoying it alone, and over time they will develop the habit of selfishness, which is not good for them. ”
Bo Zhong is still young, she will not tell him those big truths, but transform them into simple and easy-to-understand words to tell him.
Bo Zhong immediately understood, and nodded heavily, "I know, eldest sister, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
After the communication, Yuan Ning asked with a smile: "Are you really full?" ”
Bo Zhong touched his stomach and smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, it's a little insufficient......
"Come," Yuan Ning beckoned to him, and the two went to the kitchen together, Yuan Ning lit a fire, smeared oil and salt on the multigrain cakes, roasted them on the fire, baked them crispy on both sides, and then brought them to Bo Zhong, "Taste it." ”
Bo Zhong just bit his eyes and narrowed, nodding his head incessantly, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”
Yuan Ning smiled, "When we have the conditions in the future, we will make a barbecue stove and rack, as well as barbed wire, and the eldest sister will make a barbecue for you to eat." ”
"What's that?" Bo Zhong asked vaguely while eating.
"Delicious." Yuan Ning only replied simply, then boiled hot water, scooped it out and dried, and waited for Bo Zhong to drink when he was full.
These things are complicated to say, but in fact they are also very simple to do, Bo Zhong quickly finished eating two pieces of scones, drank a large bowl of water, and had a round stomach.
After eating and drinking, he was ready to go to sleep, but Yuan Ning said: "It's not good for the stomach to sleep when you're full, let's walk around the yard twice to eat."
Bo Zhong happened to be not sleepy for a while, so he walked around the yard with her and asked her what she planned to do next.
Yuan Ning knows it in his heart, but there are many things and many plans that he can't tell others, so he only said: "Let's take one step at a time, the fruits in our fruit forest are about to be picked, I will go to see it in a few days, you go with me, if there are good ones, let's pick some and send some to Lizheng's family first."
"If it weren't for people taking care of us, how could we have an extra nine points of land out of thin air? We have to remember this favor. There are also three old ladies who have to go to their house. ”
Boss Bo Zhong was not happy, "Eldest sister, you said to send something to Lizheng, I don't object." But for the third old lady...... I don't know how many good things I said at the beginning, so they were willing to come and administer justice.
"But after arriving here, it was obviously biased towards Zhu Jiugu. If it weren't for the cleverness of the eldest sister, let alone our fruit forest, maybe you wouldn't even be able to keep our two acres of land!
"Well, also, I've inquired clearly, the person who came up with the idea of breaking up the five of us was the third old lady!"
Speaking of this, Bo Zhong was full of resentment.
Yuan Ning sighed softly, "Bo Zhong, I told you a long time ago that a good life is earned by our own struggle, not by relying on other people's charity.
"You have time to hold a grudge against others, so you might as well spend more time thinking about how you can live a good life!
"Thinking about the problem from another angle, in fact, the proposal of the third old lady is not bad, because in the ordinary sense, the five children can't survive on their own, so they can be separated and adopted separately, so that they have a better chance of surviving."
