Chapter 2 Steamed rice with pumpkin and meat foam
Because of crying, Xu Xiaoxi got a lot closer to the two children and learned their identities.
In fact, these two children are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the eldest brother is called Lin Yucheng, and the younger one is called Lin Yuli, because Xiao Lier always wears her brother's old clothes, so she is recognized as a boy.
Xu Xiaoxi's head was still hurting and she didn't have much strength, but she still helped Xiao Li'er tie her braids, Xiao Li'er was very happy, and called her mother several times in one breath.
"Eat!" Lin Zhan sounded, and the two little radish heads immediately got out of bed, and then stretched out their little hands towards Xu Xiaoxi.
"Mother, we'll help you!"
Looking at the immature appearance of the two little radish heads, Xu Xiaoxi couldn't bear it, slowly propped herself up and got out of bed, and walked towards the table with the support of the two villains.
On the humble table, there were four coarse porcelain bowls, two of which were broken, and which contained brown rice, and nothing but a plate of black pickles, a few pieces of garlic, and a section of raw onions.
The two little radish heads were very hungry, so they picked up the bowl and ate it.
Xu Xiaoxi took a bite, and his face changed instantly, this meal was hard like this, how did these two children eat it?
"Don't eat it—"
Xu Xiaoxi stopped the hands of the two little radish heads, and two pairs of big eyes looked at her at the same time.
One of the little radish heads still remembered the oath he had just made, and handed her the bowl very reluctantly, "Mother, Li'er is not hungry, Li'er's food will be for you-"
She's hungry too!
Xu Xiaoxi's eyes were hot and she almost cried.
"That's not what my mother meant, the rice is too hard, and it will scratch my throat."
The two little radish heads glanced at each other, their big eyes full of doubt.
Xu Xiaoxi looked at the man on the side, and paused before speaking, "Lin-Lin Zhan, can I go to the kitchen to have a look?" ”
Lin Zhan didn't say anything, just looked at her silently.
Xu Xiaoxi smiled bitterly, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to make something else for the children—"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Zhan stood up, walked towards her with a tall body, and helped her to the kitchen.
As soon as the two little radish heads heard that they were going to eat something else, they immediately followed.
Xu Xiaoxi went to the kitchen, and the kitchen was just as simple, and there was nothing left.
"Mother, what are you going to do for us?" Little Radish Li'er couldn't help but ask.
Xu Xiaoxi was embarrassed, she would do it, but it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice - suddenly, she saw a yellow-skinned old pumpkin in the corner...
Xu Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately had an idea in her heart, "Start a fire, boil water, and my mother will make pumpkin steamed rice for you!" ”
"Pumpkin steamed rice?"
Li'er and her brother glanced at each other, their big eyes full of doubts.
They've never heard of pumpkin steamed rice, it must be delicious-
In order to satisfy the child's hunger, Lin Zhan was involuntarily used by her as a husband.
Xu Xiaoxi peeled the pumpkin and cut it into small pieces, first put it in the pot and steamed it, and then looked at Lin Zhan, "At home—is there any meat?" ”
In fact, seeing such a humble appearance of this house, she knew that she should not ask, the poor can only eat brown rice and pickles, how can there be meat?
Lin Zhan glanced at her, and then took out a piece of meat from the cabinet, which looked quite fresh, as if it had just been cut.
He just gave her the meat and didn't say anything, Xu Xiaoxi didn't ask much, after cutting a small piece of meat, he silently cut off the pork skin, and found some garlic to crush it.
After the pumpkin is steamed, she uses the pork skin to rub it around, and when it is hot, she puts the garlic and green onion in it and stir-fries until it is fragrant, and then pours in the brown rice and stir-fries.
After a few minutes, gather all the brown rice and steam it with the pumpkin.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxi's skillful appearance in front of the stove, Lin Zhan's eyes darkened.
The pumpkin rice is steamed quickly, and the brown rice steamed with pumpkin and meat foam is not blackened in color, but the particles are soft and glutinous but not sticky, with the aroma of meat and the sweetness of pumpkin, the two are perfectly blended together.
Before the dinner table was served, the two little radishes had already drooled from their mouths.
