Chapter 24: Sorghum Rice
The two shouted out of the warehouse, Bai Shengwen immediately turned his head to look over, and when he saw Xu Wenlan smiling at him, he was relieved.
Carrying a small wicker basket, Xu Wenlan also dangled to the cowshed and turned around.
Before getting into the car, the old horse was eating hay with his head down, and on the other side, the sturdy ox looked up and "mooed", his eyes were gentle, and he looked gentle.
Seeing that Xu Wenlan had been staring, Bai Shengwen smiled: "Do you want to touch it?" ”
"Can you touch it? Won't top me? Looking at the two short horns, Xu Wenlan stretched out her hand with some hesitation, but before she could touch it, she shouted from her brother behind her, causing her to withdraw her hand in a hurry.
I didn't have time to touch it again, so I could only respond and quickly follow into the stove room.
In the stove room, Zhu had already lit the fires on the stoves on both sides, and was preparing breakfast on the side of the big stove.
It was the Zhu family, and when he saw Xu Wenlan who followed up, he couldn't help but say angrily: "You kid, don't you let you sleep again......"
Before he finished speaking, Brother Bai Ribbon had already "snapped" and threw the cutting board on the stove.
Xu Wenlan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Mother, I helped my sister chop pig food." ”
"Who's going to help you?" Brother Bai Dai glared at her, snatched the small basket, threw the gray cabbage in the basin, and went to scoop the water.
Zhu hurriedly grabbed a few steps: "Don't use cold water, I'm boiling water!" ”
With a slight movement of his mouth, the white belt brother didn't say a "thank you" in the end, and Zhu scooped warm water into the basin.
It's really awkward.
Xu Wenlan smiled secretly in her stomach, but her face was not obvious, and she went over to help.
Because this sun-dried gray cabbage is for pigs, it does not need to be washed much, but soaked in warm water.
The white belt brother stirred the wheat rice and poured it into the pig food pot and boiled it almost, then turned back and chopped the soaked gray cabbage casually, and threw it into the pot to cook, but after a while, a strong food fragrance floated out.
At first, it felt fragrant, but it soon became a pig food. Xu Wenlan couldn't help but cover her nose, and when she saw it, she snorted from her nose when she saw it.
Xu Wenlan's face was a little sneering, and she hurriedly let go of her hand and turned over to help Zhu cook.
said it was helping, but in fact, there was nothing for her to do, Zhu did everything neatly, often as soon as she stretched out her hand, Zhu was busy taking it, and it was cooked after three times five divided by two, Xu Wenlan helped for a long time, and picked up two green onions and washed back the potatoes.
In winter, the fields are barren, and in the words of the Northeast people, this is the winter of cats, there is no work in the fields, and the work at home is not too much, so the average family only eats two meals.
After eating and resting, it is almost resting, and the food is relatively simple, and those who should work after this meal have to work, so they should be relatively rich.
Early in the morning, Zhu's rice was stewed, but this rice was not rice, but sorghum rice.
Xu Wenlan has never eaten sorghum rice, first look at the pink and light purple rice soup is good-looking, the white rice beans are good-looking, and then smell the fragrant rice, and when the sorghum rice is simmered, Zhu Shi took the spatula and cocked the edge of the pot, and warped the whole piece of crispy pot, he really felt that this must be delicious.
The pot is scorched, slightly yellow and crispy, hot with the sweet aroma of rice, hooking the mouth and water.
Zhu smiled and broke a piece for Xu Wenlan, and stuffed another piece for Brother Bai Dai.
After a busy morning, his stomach was already playing drums, and although Bai Daidi had a straight face, he did not refuse.
As soon as a piece of pot was put down, Li Shi entered the stove room, stood in front of the rice bowl, and looked at the rice pot covered with sorghum rice, and she frowned first.
Looking up gloomily, he swept over the three people in the stove room, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were clearly questioning whether they had eaten secretly.
Zhu didn't answer the conversation, but just smiled and took a bowl: "Mother, bring a pot for the lotus to eat!" Give you a bowl, this pot is burnt today, you can also eat a piece! ”
"I'm an old tooth, where can I eat that, or give it to your father......" Li said, but his hands didn't stop, and he picked up all the pots into the bowl, and then turned around and walked out of the stove room.
Brother Bai "snorted": "My father's teeth and eloquence are really bad, give it back to my father, isn't it my milk and my aunt to eat?" ”
Zhu smiled and didn't say a word, as if he was doing magic, and he touched another pot out of nowhere, stuffed it into Bai Dai's mouth, and stuffed it into Xu Wenlan with his backhand.
Xu Wenlan's face twisted away, and pushed Zhu's hand with a smile: "Mother, you eat." ”
As soon as she let go, Zhu's face immediately burst into laughter, but she didn't eat it, and only stuffed it into Xu Wenlan's mouth.
Xu Wenlan still wanted to hide, and Fang's voice came from outside: "Sister-in-law, is the meal ready?" ”
Startled, Xu Wenlan hurriedly opened her mouth, and before she had time to chew more, she swallowed the pot.
Before she swallowed it, the Fang family entered the stove room, and as soon as she stopped in the stove room like the Li family, she frowned: "Why is the pot gone?" ”
Zhu smiled and said lightly: "Next time, if you get up early to cook, my mother won't be able to get ahead of you." ”
These words were clearly pointing at Fang's family, but Fang's family didn't seem to understand, and there was no embarrassment on his face: "Mother's hand is really fast-it's also a brother, why don't you know to leave some for your brother!" I don't know if your brother will be hungry when he wakes up in the morning? I don't have a long heart at all......"
turned to Zhu again, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you know, it's nothing for us adults to eat less, but how can children be hungry?" When I'm hungry, I can't stop crying, he's making a fuss, our mother's hearts are really uncomfortable......"
As soon as Fang said to take his younger brother, Zhu's face had already sunk, and as soon as he heard the word "we", he snorted coldly: "The children in my house are sensible, but they don't cry much-brother and sister, if you want to say that you eat first, I don't have any opinions on our concubines, but you know what kind of temper our mother has, and when the time comes, she will be scolded all over the yard, but I can't stand it......"
Fang just laughed: "Just scold two sentences, can you still have a piece of meat?" I didn't listen to Zhu's persuasion, I went to get a bowl of rice, and before leaving, I made sauce, took two green onions, and asked Zhu: "Sister-in-law, what kind of food are you eating?" ”
Zhu Shi endured his anger: "Cabbage stewed vermicelli, dried beans stewed potatoes, and steamed chili stew......"
"Ah, that's delicious, sister-in-law and mother said, put two more eggs......"
Fang Shi said, turned around and walked out of the stove room, Zhu Shi couldn't hold back anymore, and spit on the ground with a "bah": "I know how to eat ready-made!" Lazy and greedy, whoever is born has to wait for you, right......"
Xu Wenlan blinked and turned her head to look at Brother Bai Dai.
The white ribbon brother who was scooping pig food out as if he hadn't heard anything.
It seems that Sister Hui'er doesn't have any feelings for the other party, so when she tries to get her back to the big house, the resistance should be less, right?
