Chapter Ninety-One: A New Home
Chun Tao didn't go to set up a stall, so she tinkered in the kitchen and made scallion pancakes.
A few green onions planted by Mrs. Zhou have grown green, and the spring peach directly destroyed the green onions with her hands and used them.
Knead the dough with salt first, and then pour the green onion white with hot oil to make scallion oil, and set aside.
In the process of rising the noodles, Chun Tao washed the rice and boiled white porridge. He picked the cabbage again, washed it, fried it with the residual oil in the pot, and put it on a plate.
After making these noodles, she almost woke up, and Aunt Zhou also got up and finished washing.
"What do you want me to help with? Do you want to wash the pot? Aunt Zhou directly picked up the loofah and asked while doing it.
Chun Tao glanced at Aunt Zhou, who had long been accustomed to her approach, smiled slightly, and continued to knead the raised dough and roll it into large slices.
Worried that it would not succeed, Chun Tao divided the dough into several portions. Roll it out into thin slices and spread it with cool scallion oil, then sprinkle with chopped green onion and peppercorns. Then cut the dough dough into two knives on the top, bottom, left and right, without cutting off.
Then put the cut dough together layer by layer, gently pat it flat after setting it up, and then brush it with a rolling pin to fry. A lot of spring peach's scallion oil was prepared, so it was fried directly in scallion oil.
After frying, Chun Tao cut the cake into pieces and found that it did not have that layered feeling.
Failed. Chun Tao sighed and continued to do the next one, but this time, he changed the way, but it still didn't work.
After trying two or three times, Chun Tao finally saw that her cake had layers of textures. "It finally worked."
Chun Tao's voice was very small, but it still attracted the attention of Aunt Zhou. "Say what?" As he spoke, he added firewood to the stove.
"Ahh Gruel! Chun Tao concentrated on making cakes, completely forgetting the porridge on the side.
"I've seen it, come back!" When Aunt Zhou called Chun Tao, she had already run to the stove at the door of the stove room.
Chun Tao wanted to scratch the back of her head, but found that her hands were full of flour, and she withdrew her hand in embarrassment. "Thankfully, you're here."
"It's all people who have a family, and they're still so sloppy. If this is without me, how can it be good? Aunt Zhou said with a smile.
Thinking of Dr. Yang's words, Chun Tao said emotional words to Aunt Zhou for the first time. "Then you, keep watching."
Aunt Zhou was slightly stunned, immediately smiled with her eyebrows, and responded softly. "Good!"
Chun Tao was very uncomfortable with Aunt Zhou's moved appearance, "I'm almost ready to fry." ”
"It's okay, take your time." Aunt Zhou's tone was light and soft, as if she was coaxing the child to sleep, and under the gentle eye attack of Aunt Zhou, Chun Tao also showed a sweet smile.
After breakfast, Zhou Kuiruo asked Chun Tao to go to a place with him, and took her to the east of the village.
Chun Tao asked him where he was going, but after receiving no answer, he stopped talking.
The two remained silent and came to a mansion at the junction of the bamboo forest and the peach forest. "What is this?"
This can't be his former home! Chun Tao glanced at the mansion in front of her and turned her head to look at Zhou Kuiruo.
"Let's go inside!" Zhou Kuiruo didn't answer, just grabbed Chun Tao's wrist, pulled her and pushed the door in.
"It's... It's not good! "This isn't your house now, won't you be kicked out if you go in?
However, Chun Tao's words were not as fast as Zhou Kuiruo's, and the two of them had already walked in before she finished speaking.
This yard is really big, but it's too deserted inside! It felt like no one was living there.
Chun Tao followed Zhou Kuiruo through the cobblestone path, and the open space on the side of the road was full of dead trees and residual leaves. The wings on both sides were dusty and looked like no one was living there.
The two of them walked through the dusty hall to the backyard. There was a pile of clutter in the backyard.
Zhou Kuiruo took out a fire fold from his arms, let go of Chun Tao's hand, and blew the fire fold to ignite the debris in the yard.
"What are you doing here?" It was too late for Chun Tao to stop Zhou Kuiruo, so she could only watch the good things being burned. "It's a good thing, just burn it?"
"What is not clean for people is naturally not clean." For the first time, Zhou Kuiruo's eyes showed indifference and ferocity, but fortunately, Chun Tao stood behind him and didn't see it.
"Let's go! Go inside and have a look. Zhou Kuiruo directly took Chun Tao's hand this time.
Chun Tao had no chance to refuse at all, and was directly dragged away. "Slow down."
"Ahem~ It's so big gray." Zhou Kuiruo pushed open a door, and the dust caused by the door vibration choked Chun Tao and coughed.
Chun Tao's hand was too small, so Zhou Kuiruo covered Chun Tao's mouth, nose and eyes with his own hand and took her out.
"I didn't expect the dust to be so big, how to clean it up." Zhou Kuiruo returned to the courtyard with Chun Tao, looking at the completely dusty room, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"What do you mean? We live here? ”
"Yes!"
"But this... What about the people who lived here before? ”
"Dead." After speaking, Zhou Kuiruo walked through the hall and returned to the front yard.
Listening to Zhou Kuiruo's obviously angry words, Chun Tao frowned slightly and followed.
"I think I'll clean the front yard! Just three people, the backyard is shelved! Come in the afternoon, pack up early, and you can move in. ”
Zhou Kuiruo was standing in the deserted courtyard, and a gust of wind blew, blowing his white clothes and his black hair. Although the meaning was not accurate, a word "Yushu Linfeng" flashed in Chun Tao's mind.
Chun Tao shook her head, amused by her thoughts. "Do we really live here? Is it our new home? ”
"This is my home, of course I live here."
"Oh!"
"Let's go!"
"Hmm!" So you brought me here early in the morning to take me to see the cooking? Tell me to pack my things? Chun Tao followed Zhou Kuiruo while chattering in her heart.
"What do you think?" On the way back, Zhou Kuiruo's dull mood seemed to be better.
"It's good, it's big."
"Mother will be happy." The tone was full of pleasure.
"Then why don't you pack it up secretly, let her know and surprise her."
Zhou Kuiruo stopped suddenly, and Chun Tao, who was following behind him, bumped into him without paying attention. Chun Tao covered her sore nose and asked puzzledly, "Why are you stopping?" ”
Zhou Kuiruo smiled and took Chun Tao's hand and rubbed her nose with his index finger. "Happy."
Zhou Kuiruo's intimate actions, Chun Tao still didn't adapt to it, but she felt a little happy and evasive in her heart. "Let's go back and prepare!"
Pushing Zhou Kuiruo's hand away, Chun Tao walked to the front.
This is? Shy? Zhou Kuiruo held back a smile and followed her and went home.
In the afternoon, the two brought rags, and secretly took feather dusters, brooms, buckets, and wooden basins, and slipped away while Aunt Zhou was embroidering in the room.
"Wait! I'm going to get something. ”
"You... Hurry up! Zhou Kuiruo looked at the back of Chun Taohuo running away in a hurry, and he didn't know if she heard it.
After a while, Chun Tao came out with a few rags.
"What are you taking here?"
"Useful, go, don't be discovered." Just when Chun Tao took the cloth, Aunt Zhou asked again, Chun Tao was worried that she would chase her out, and dragged Zhou Kuiruo away sneakily.
Chun Tao took rags to make masks and headscarves for herself and Zhou Kuiruo, and made a simple protection, although Zhou Kuiruo couldn't understand it very well, but she still accepted it.
After the two of them were equipped, they began to clean.
