004 The porridge is so delicious
Sheng Qingqing looked at the yellow thin child in a daze, obviously only eight years old, in modern times, he should still be a naΓ―ve age with no worries about food and clothing, but Sheng Zhizhi's little hands were already covered with fine calluses.
"Also...... I'll do it anyway......"
In the past, there was no way, but now that she is a twenty-year-old adult in this body, she can no longer let children work, and now she has space, how can she cook something delicious and raise the two children well.
"But the eldest sister's body is not well yet!" Sheng Siming took Sheng Qingqing's hand and didn't let her get up.
Although the second sister's cooking is not delicious, don't let the eldest sister work. Today, the eldest sister has fainted, listening to the words of the village chief's grandfather, she should rest more.
Sheng Zhizhi also nodded in agreement on the side.
Being pressed on the bed by two thin children, Sheng Qingqing couldn't cry or laugh.
"Stop making a fuss." She reached out and touched Sheng Zhizhi's head, and said with a smile: "My sister is in good health." β
The two children looked at her suspiciously.
Sheng Qingqing wanted to prove it, pointed to the small bag on the back of her head, and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's just a small bag on the back of your head, if you don't believe it, come and touch it." β
However, the two children trusted her very much, and when they heard Sheng Qingqing say this, they immediately got up convincingly.
Sheng Zhizhi also swore and said: "Eldest sister, I heard the second aunt Niu next door say that if you have a bag on your head, you can't touch it with your hands, and it will get bigger and bigger!" β
Sheng Qingqing listened to this childhood childish saying funny.
Aunt Niu learned some medical skills from her husband Niu Er, so she dealt with most of the girls in the village who had headaches and brain fever. Sheng Zhizhi has always been naughty, and often has some injuries on her body because of playing. Aunt Niu should have been worried that Sheng Zhizhi, a leather girl, would touch those wounds, so she coaxed her like this.
Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but smile: "Okay, that sister won't touch it." β
proved that there was nothing wrong with the body, and the two little ones were finally willing to let Sheng Qingqing go to the kitchen. But the kitchen was more dilapidated than the main house, except for a stove, and only some firewood remained.
Sheng Qingqing carefully turned out a small cloth bag under the messy firewood.
I don't know how many years this small cloth bag has been used, it looks very shabby, and the mouth of the cloth bag has been ground out of raw edges. However, it was such a small cloth bag, and it contained the food of the three of them for several days.
Sheng Qingqing sadly took out a handful of rice, where had she ever eaten such rough rice in modern times, and there was even some sand and gravel in it.
Pouring out the brown rice in the sack, she thought to herself, the empty sack had been filled with the best rice in the back kitchen, and she could smell the sweet aroma of rice through the burlap bag.
And those brown rice Sheng Qingqing didn't waste it, and threw it all into the space. This is what she had just discovered, that space could hold inanimate things.
Rice is ready, but ......
Looking at the turbid water in the water tank, Sheng Qingqing didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, there is still a magical "spring" in the space. This spring water can heal her wounds, and I don't know if drinking it to her two younger siblings can improve their thin physique.
Thinking like this, Sheng Qingqing put aside all the turbid water in the water tank, took a new basin from the space, and poured spring water into it.
Well, you're ready to start cooking.
With sweet spring water, the rice was washed once or twice to clean up the dust and dust inside. Sheng Qingqing boiled a pot of water again, boiled the water, and then let it cool.
When it was cooling, Sheng Qingqing found a few wild mushrooms from the small cloth bag.
These mushrooms were picked by Sheng Zhizhi when he went to play in the mountains a few days ago, and they were dehydrated when they were placed in the rice for several days, but they smelled very delicious.
Sheng Qingqing identified it and found that it was not poisonous, and after a simple cleaning, he separated a part of the boiling water and put them into it to soak.
As the mushrooms bubble up, the rich aroma begins to escape in the small kitchen.
Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming, who were peeking at the door, couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They feel that today's eldest sister is a little different, and it is not that they have never eaten the mushrooms made by the eldest sister in the past, but they have never smelled such a fragrant mushroom smell.
Sheng Qingqing, who was busy in the kitchen at this time, didn't know what her younger siblings thought, otherwise she would definitely laugh out loud.
In the past, of course, they couldn't smell that fragrant.
Because people in this era still don't know how to handle mushrooms, even if they pick mushrooms, they eat them while they are fresh, but they don't know that after the mushrooms are dried, the fresh fragrance inside will really burst out. And today, these mushrooms were mistakenly put into the rice bag by Sheng Zhizhi, so in addition to their own fresh fragrance, the mushrooms also brought a little bit of rice fragrance.
What's more, the rice and water used by Sheng Qingqing now are not ordinary, and when added together, it is naturally twice as delicious.
Sheng Qingqing cut a few soaked mushrooms into shreds, and the boiling water in the pot was almost cold.
Put the water in the pot, then add the rice and shredded mushrooms in turn, and add a little coarse salt at the end.
As the firewood burns and heats, after half an hour, a smell that is even more delicious than when the mushrooms were soaked just now begins to escape. The fragrance of rice, the freshness of spring water, and the deliciousness of wild mushrooms combine to create a strange aroma.
Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming finally couldn't help it and rushed into the kitchen together.
"Eldest sister, what are you cooking, it's so fragrant!" Sheng Zhizhi licked her lips and couldn't stop swallowing.
Sheng Siming on the side also nodded again and again.
"You two little gluttons, you just made mushroom porridge." Sheng Qingqing smiled and pressed the fire in the furnace to a low level, keeping it low, and then got up to remove the lid.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, water vapor rushed to the face, followed by a fresh fragrance that overflowed the mouth, which was even stronger than the aroma that had just escaped in the house.
There are only three bowls in the house, and after Sheng Qingqing washed her hands, she filled each bowl.
"Drink slowly, be careful of scalding."
As soon as Sheng Qingqing finished saying this, the reckless Sheng Zhizhi had already burned his tongue. But even so, she was reluctant to put down the bowl in her hand, preferring to hiss and inhale rather than swallow the porridge.
"What a roar!" Sheng Zhizhi praised with a big tongue.
Sheng Qingqing couldn't laugh or cry when she saw it.
Sheng Siming, who was only six years old, drank slowly obediently, but his slowness was only relative to Sheng Zhizhi. Looking at the way he can't stop taking a bite, he obviously likes the deliciousness in the bowl.
As a chef, the happiest moment is nothing more than the happy look on her face when she eats her cooking.
Sheng Qingqing was not in a hurry to drink porridge, she looked at the two younger siblings drinking porridge with a smile, and couldn't help asking, "Is it delicious?" β
Sheng Zhizhi swallowed the last bite of porridge and burped lightly in satisfaction.
"Eldest sister, the porridge you made is so delicious!"
Sheng Siming drank slowly, but he didn't forget to nod at this time, obviously agreeing with the second sister's words. After drinking, I didn't forget to say: "Eldest sister, the porridge you cooked today is so delicious, and after I drank it, I felt full of strength!" β
Sheng Siming is already six years old this year, but he is a head shorter than the child of Second Uncle Niu next door, and he is still thin and thin on weekdays, and he looks very unhealthy.
However, after drinking this bowl of porridge today, Sheng Siming's little face actually had a hint of ruddyness, and the whole person looked a lot more energetic. Sheng Zhizhi on the side was too, her eyes were shining and full of vitality.
The two children only thought that this was because of the heat of the porridge, but Sheng Qingqing understood very well that the reason for such a change must be because of the water that cooked the porridge!
The water is really not ordinary, not only can it heal her injuries, but now it can also give enough for a pair of younger siblings to recuperate.
Sheng Qingqing was originally worried that the child would lose his body when he was young, and he would be deficient when he grew up, but now he was relieved. As long as the sweet water is still there, these are not a problem.
That small handful of rice can't make much porridge water, and if you are an adult, you can only barely cushion your stomach. But fortunately, Sheng Qingqing's sister and sister are still children, and they can't eat much. What's more, in the past few days, under the oppression of the Li family, they can't eat enough every day, and today's delicious mushroom porridge can also be regarded as a rare dinner.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, the three siblings felt a little tired, so they squeezed on the broken bamboo bed and barely fell asleep.
