Chapter 12 Corn Nest Head
Zhang's mother would go to the field to deliver food at noon, and would help in the field, do some simple farm work, and only go home in the afternoon when she had to cook. Zhang Xiaoxue is fine, lying on the kang to take a nap, don't live a beautiful life.
When he woke up and went to the farm, he remembered the strawberries that had been rewarded, and took out a portion of the strawberries, which were actually contained in a delicate little basket. The green rattan is woven into a small oval basket, which is very beautiful, and it contains red and bright strawberries, one red and one green, which is pleasing to the eye when you look at it, and you don't want to spoil this beauty. A basket of strawberries is estimated to be 1000 grams, Zhang Xiaoxue ate a few outside, the taste is so delicious, it took a lot of perseverance to control that he didn't eat too much, and the rest is ready for the family to taste, after all, it's not good to eat alone.
For dinner in the evening, Zhang Xiaoxue was going to cook it by herself, and there were only some coarse grains at home, not even flour. It's sad, the flour on the farm is one star coin, and it's too expensive to be willing to take it out. Don't say that she picks the door, she really has a foreign debt of 100,000 star coins.
At noon, there was some leftover pheasant soup, which I used to stew potatoes and make tomato and egg soup. Staple food, Zhang Xiaoxue thought about it, didn't want to boil porridge anymore, and prepared to steam corn nests.
When I was a child, Zhang Xiaoxue saw that my grandmother had done it, the corn nest was very delicious, and when my grandmother made the corn nest, she would add some sugar to the cornmeal, so that the corn nest would be sweet and silky, and the taste would be more delicious. Think of it, find out the cornmeal in the cupboard, the family has a lot of Zhang Xiaoxue scooped out two large scoops, put them in the basin of the noodles, pour a spoonful of honey, heat the water and form the dough, let it rise for 15 minutes, divide it into a small dough, turn the dough into balls, poke a hole in the middle with the index finger, put it on the index finger, and use the other hand to assist in forming the shape of the nest head, and steam it in the pot.
There was no steamer at home, a sorghum stalk sewn in the stalk, or she had managed to find it in the utility room, washed it and dried it, steamed it for half an hour on the fire, and then turned off the fire and stuffy for a while. Then he picked it out and put it on the curtain, and made the remaining two dishes. When Zhang's mother came home, Zhang Xiaoxue had already cooked. Another compliment, Zhang's mother is very curious about the way the corn nest is made. Zhang Xiaoxue explained that the master taught a lot of eating practices, and then taught Zhang Mu how to make corn nests.
Dinner was made by Zhang Xiaoxue, at this time Zhang's mother thought about it and took out some corn, ready to go to the mill to grind corn into cornmeal, the mill is common in the village, when the mother and daughter came to the mill, there was a woman surnamed Li grinding noodles, and the three of them inevitably exchanged greetings again. It took a lot of effort for the mother and daughter to grind the corn they brought into flour, and it was not easy for the corn to be ground into fine flour, and it was necessary to grind it several times. I thought that when the farm was upgraded to the third level, I could take the corn to the processing mill for processing.
This dinner, everyone ate corn nest for the first time. I really praise this kind of food, saying that it is better than dry tortillas, and it has a sweet taste. In fact, the corn nest is sweet because honey is added, and if honey is added to the tortilla, it is estimated that it is also delicious.
After the meal, she said that she was going to buy some salt at the market tomorrow, Zhang Xiaoxue also asked to go together, she hadn't seen the ancient bazaar, she wanted to go and see it, Zhang's mother planned to go on foot, Zhang Xiaoxue wanted to go, because the road was more than ten miles away, I was afraid that Zhang Xiaoxue would be too tired to walk, and I was going to go to the ox cart in the village. Fortunately, there is endless food at home, so I don't panic. As long as the child is happy, Zhang's mother will ignore Xiaodouding's quarrel, and she is willing to spend two pennies.
As soon as it gets dark, the garlic on the farm is ripe, and after this harvest, the farm has been upgraded to grade 3. I paid the order and received another 80 Star Coins. Six plots of land were planted with corn again, and this time the quest package was 3,000 gold, three packs of potato seeds, and 100 pumpkins. The lottery won a source energy oven, this thing is quite advanced, the function is similar to the current oven but does not use electricity, there is a groove on the doorknob, which is embedded with a small chip the size of a mobile phone memory card. Click it to pop up, Pink Butterfly introduced that this is a source energy chip, which stores 1000M source energy, which is equivalent to our current electrical energy, which is widely used. The oven uses very little source energy, and it is estimated that it can be used every day for ten years. Zhang Xiaoxue likes this prize very much, because she is a foodie, and now she has all kinds of food that can be made in the oven in her mind.
I thought I would go to the market tomorrow, but I didn't have any money in my hand, and I couldn't buy anything. I decided to take out a jar of honey to sell it for money, but now this family lacks everything, and there are no materials to make something delicious. This is the north, and there is no rice grown in the countryside, and there is no fragrant rice to eat. I heard that the rice shipped from the south is very expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford. Fortunately, it can be planted on the farm, but it costs gold to get it out. Most of the family is coarse grains, and every household also eats coarse grains, Zhang Xiaoxue thought of various food production methods of coarse grains. Basically, they are ground into flour or porridge, and I suddenly remembered that the pancakes in the rural hometown stalls are made with various coarse grains. And the pancakes are also put for a long time, sprinkle some water when eating, and you can fold them up and eat them after waking up for a while, which is very convenient. You don't have to cook a lot when you're busy farming, you just need to stir-fry a few vegetables, and even if you just roll them up with green onions and sauce, they're delicious. Zhang Xiaoxue has also seen the method of making pancakes, but the pan used to spread pancakes is not here, it seems that tomorrow I will go to the blacksmith shop to see if I can make this pot, it is estimated that there is no problem, it is simpler than the big pot used now.
At night, Zhang's mother told you to go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow and drive the ox cart before dawn, and people will not wait for you if you go late. Take out a jar of honey that will be sold tomorrow and get a good night's sleep.
I got up before dawn, briefly freshened up, took a few corn nests, and staggered along the way, sitting in an ox cart, and couldn't help but be sleepy and squinting for a while. When entering the town, Zhang Xiaoxue suddenly became energetic, and saw the bustling crowd, the town was relatively prosperous, the doors on both sides of the street were standing, the hawkers were shouting, and there were stalls on both sides of the road, and people were dazzled by all kinds of food. When I saw the hot buns in the steamer, I couldn't help but drool. I decided that I would buy some pork and go back to make steamed buns to eat.
Zhang's mother led her to the grocery store in the town, there were a lot of things in it, and the seller was a clever brother of sixteen or seventeen years old.
There was no money in her hand, Zhang's mother just bought necessities, asked the little brother to weigh two catties of salt, and spent sixty yuan, Zhang Xiaoxue took out the honey from the basket, "Big brother, do you accept honey here?" I have a jar of good honey here ready to sell." ”
