009 Steamed rice with millet
The sun had only sunset, and before it was dark, the smoke of cooking smoke wafted from every house in the town and began to cook dinner.
At this time, there was no entertainment at night, and there was no extra lamp oil to waste on them, so they all ate dinner as soon as it was dark, and took advantage of the faint light of the brazier or played a pair of straw sandals, or twisted some hemp rope, and it was almost time to go to bed at the end of the unitary hour.
According to the modern algorithm of lily, that is, from five to seven o'clock in the afternoon, the time of small households is not so accurate, and they go to bed when it is dark. Go to bed early to avoid feeling hungry after too much activity at night.
Song Haonian didn't let Lily move as usual, and helped her to go to the thatched house again, this time without Lily to say, he prepared a spoonful of water for her to wash her hands.
During the day, when the sun was warm, the brazier was put away, and the temperature gradually dropped, so Song Haonian shoveled a few pieces of well-burned wood from the stove and put them in the brazier, half of them were left to burn, and half of them were buried under the ashes to slow down the burning rate, and they were put next to the bed to let the lily warm up.
He added a handful of firewood to the stove himself, and boiled the fried yellow rice until it was seven or eight ripe, and when there was still a little rice left, he took it out with a fence and spread it in a steamer lined with white cloth sheets, and steamed it over high heat.
The rice soup left in the pot should not be wasted, and two bowls should be strained out thickly and put in a wooden basin and covered, so that it can be used as breakfast tomorrow morning.
The chicken soup left at noon has condensed a thin layer of oil because the temperature is too low, add some water, put a few grains of salt to boil, and it is another tempting pot of chicken soup.
The dinner for two people is chicken soup with yellow rice, yellow rice is rougher than white rice, but a hot bowl, the color is yellow and clear, and the chew is also very fragrant.
Lily has been hungry for a long time, and she can feel the most authentic aroma of food, even if it is simple to eat, she eats very deliciously.
Song Haonian remembered that Liu Yi's sister-in-law said that patients are most afraid of not being able to eat, as long as they can eat, they will be almost well. In order to make his daughter-in-law get better quickly, in his heart, the chickens raised at home are already chicken soup running all over the ground.
In order to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment, Lily lay on the bed and pretended to sleep after eating, but her body was still weak and she fell asleep accidentally.
When I woke up the next morning, I coveted the heat on Song Haonian's body, and the two of them huddled under the bear skin and thin quilt to keep warm. This time she was a little more vigilant, and the embarrassing situation of yesterday did not happen.
In winter, there is nothing to do, Song Haonian is a person who can't be idle, although the family is surrounded by walls, he still tidies up the house inside and out.
The big girl is a diligent girl, but she is too thin and weak, and her strength is small, and there is always something that she can't do at home alone.
Song Haonian cleaned up like this, not only filled the gaps in the fence, found straw to fill the gaps in the high part of the wall, and even cleaned up the cobwebs under the eaves. Although it is a dilapidated house, it looks much neater.
If you kill a chicken a day to eat, it will be too wasteful, even the big families in the town dare not do this. So after dealing with two bowls of rice soup in the morning, I ate chicken offal with yellow rice at noon and night.
Lily has not had the habit of picky eating in both lives, all because of poverty, when she saw meat when she was a child, she had to eat it in her mouth quickly, and it didn't matter if it was a dirty part of the chicken.
The chicken offal is also very fragrant when stir-fried with chicken fat, and the chicken fat is very little, just enough to slide twice in the pan. Fortunately, Song Haonian brought wine with him, and two drops were dropped in the meat, which could well remove the fishy smell of the internal organs.
Lily's body is getting better little by little, Song Haonian doesn't talk much, but he does things neatly, he doesn't need Lily to say anything, he does most of the things himself.
Lily thinks about the days of her previous life and her next life, from Li Daniu's point of view, she has never lived a better life than these few days in her life. As for herself, life is good after work, but no one has ever taken care of her so carefully.
She is not a person without conscience, no matter what happens in the future, she must repay this man first.
No matter how careful the calculation is, the half-sized chicken is enough to eat for three or four days, and Song Haonian did not hesitate to kill a little rooster.
The hen can lay eggs, but the rooster is not much wanted, so when buying chicks, the hen is more expensive than the rooster. Song Haonian didn't pick chicken seedlings, and when he bought chicken seedlings, he fell into the hands of a hawker, and half of the seven or eight chickens he bought home were small roosters.
Fortunately, he was able to kill the rooster and eat it. If there is only one rooster in someone else's nest of chickens, he will definitely be unable to help him kill like this, and he will attack the hen in a few days.
Lily can go to the ground, and the first thing she does is clean herself. Song Haonian took good care of her, but he was a big man after all, and he didn't pay much attention to himself, and he couldn't think of helping her keep her clean.
Besides, in these years, the daughters of poor families can't take a bath twice a year, and they wash their faces with a handful of water and grass, all of them are unkempt. The patient is not even more particular.
Li Daniu can make do, but Lily can't bear that she hasn't washed her face for seven or eight days, this day Song Haonian went out to Liu Yi's house, she estimated that she could get out of bed and walk around, so she found an old wooden basin from a corner of the house.
This wooden basin, washing face, laundry clothes are used for it, Song Haonian wiped his face by the river every day, no one used it for many days, a thick layer of ash was on it, and Lily touched it, leaving a few clear fingerprints on it.
Walking out of the room with a basin, the sun was just right, and it was warm on my body. The river was only a few hundred steps away, but for the current Lily, it was very exhausting, and she couldn't walk there.
Fortunately, there is a well in the yard, this well was dug by several of his brothers for more than ten days when Song Haonian settled down, and the water quality is sweet and sweet, unlike the river water that always contains a smell of earth.
Song Haonian's family relied on this well for water, and only when he washed clothes or something, he would go to the river to wash.
The platform of the well is made of bluestone, and there is a wheel, which Lily has never used before, and watched it for a long time before learning to tie a wooden barrel to a hemp rope and twist the wheel to descend in the TV that he had seen before.
When she watched TV, she felt that it was very simple to fetch water, but it was not her turn, and the barrel itself was very light, and it would float on the water as soon as it went, and it would not be able to hit the water at all.
She tried three or four times, but the water she brought was not enough to rinse her mouth, but she was so tired that she was out of breath, and she stood by the well and felt dizzy for a while.
Lily was afraid that she would be planted headlong into the well, so she hurriedly took two steps back and squatted on the ground panting.
Song Haonian came back from outside and saw Lily squatting on the ground, but when she was uncomfortable, he hurriedly rushed forward to help her up, and asked in a loud voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Lily hurriedly explained to him that she wanted to fetch water to wash her face, Song Haonian heard her say this, moved a small bench for her to sit on, and smiled toothily: "You sit, I'll fetch water!"
