Chapter Seventy-Seven: Hot Pot
One afternoon, Xiao Moyao finally finished the pigsty and chicken coop, in order to prevent the pheasants and piglets from freezing to death in winter, Xiao Moyao also made a big house with a cover for them, and covered them tightly with straw.
After it was done, Xiao Moyao untied the two little piglets and threw them in, and as soon as the two little piglets were free, they instantly ran around and howled, so they were not miserable and pitiful.
Lin Yao saw that they were very emotionally unstable, so he threw some grass into it, and then picked up Xiao Ash, who coveted them, and left.
At night, after Lin Yao took a hot bath fragrantly, she diligently boiled a pot of hot water for Xiao Moyao, and asked him to soak it to relieve his fatigue, and Xiao Moyao happily agreed.
After he finished washing, Lin Yao took out her newly made underwear and ran to him to ask him to change it.
"You change it for me." Xiao Moyao said as he wiped his hair.
"It's so beautiful that you can change it yourself." Lin Yao slapped his clothes into his arms, and ran away with a slightly red face.
"Hehe......" Xiao Moyao chuckled, then picked up the underwear in his arms and glanced at it, "tsk", Rao is a big man like him who doesn't know how to embroider can also clearly see the messy stitching on this dress, but this is the first piece of clothing that his little girl has worked hard to make for him for a few days, so someone is in a very happy mood and immediately changes it.
Late at night, when Lin Yao was about to be confused by an energetic man, Xiao Moyao's low and magnetic voice came from his ears, "Little girl, I like this dress very much, thank you, hard work." ”
"Well, no thanks, sleep." Lin Yao scratched his ears that were a little itchy, and replied indistinctly.
"Well, go to sleep, I won't mess with you." Xiao Moyao kissed her sweaty little face, wrapped her in his arms, hooked his lips, and closed his eyes.
When Lin Yao went to see the little piglets the next day, she found that the grass in the pigsty had been eaten, and the little piglets saw that although Lin Yao would hide far away, they were obviously not as frightened as yesterday, Lin Yao happily cut more grass and threw it into the pigsty.
After the weather became cold, Lin Yao suddenly wanted to eat hot pot, but unfortunately there were no pots and pans for hot pot in ancient times, so Lin Yao went to the blacksmith shop to describe the structure of hot pot to the craftsman.
The next day, when Lin Yao went to the iron shop again, she found that the hot pot she wanted had been made, the style was what she wanted, and there was a piece of iron in the middle of a pot, which perfectly divided the pot into two, Lin Yao was very satisfied, so she happily paid the rest of the silver and took two hot pots and left.
Now that the hot pot is already available, Lin Yao wants to get together with her family to have a hot pot meal, and it just so happens that she hasn't seen Xiaodouding for a long time, so she drove the carriage to the door of Yazhai Private School.
"This big brother, I want to find my brother, can I go in?" Lin Yao asked a guard at the door.
"No, you can tell me your brother's name and class number, and I'll call it out for you." The guard said with a serious face, looking straight ahead.
Lin Yao didn't care about his attitude, and continued to smile and said, "In this way, that's really annoying big brother, my brother's name is Lin Xiaobao, and he is a child in Class C of the newly enrolled school." ”
"Well, you wait a minute." The guard nodded, and walked in unchanged.
About a quarter of an hour later, the guard came out, followed by Xiao Douding, who was wearing a silver-gray satin robe, and Xiao Douding saw Lin Yao and hurriedly rushed towards her happily.
"Sister, why did you come to see me, Xiaobao misses you so much." Xiao Douding's eyes were a little red as he spoke, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Lin Yao hurriedly squatted down to comfort him, "What's wrong?" Is there a classmate bullying you, good, my sister will come to see you frequently in the future, don't cry. ”
Xiao Douding rubbed his eyes and shook his head, "No, no one bullied Xiaobao, Xiaobao just wants her sister and mother." ”
Lin Yao looked at Xiao Douding's crying appearance, and her heart twitched, "Good, don't cry, my sister is here to pick you up today, you go and ask your master for half a day's leave, okay?" ”
When Xiao Douding heard this, he immediately nodded happily, "Okay, sister, wait for me, I'll go." So saying, he turned and ran in.
"Slow down, don't fall." Lin Yao shouted loudly behind him.
After Xiao Douding asked his master for leave, Lin Yao took him back to the downtown to buy some ingredients and utensils for making hot pot.
She first went to the charcoal shop to buy some fine smokeless charcoal-silver charcoal, then went to the stall outside to buy some hairy tripe, shrimp, clams, chrysanthemum and other ingredients, and also went to buy some sesame sauce, and finally went to the mutton shop to cut a large piece of fresh and delicate lamb leg meat before stopping.
On the way, Lin Yao and Xiao Douding talked and laughed on the road, but they didn't expect that there was still a light snow in the sky, this is the first snow Lin Yao has seen in this world, and it is also the first snow of this year, Lin Yao looked at the snowflakes that fell on the gargle and missed Xiao Moyao a little, but it was only separated for a long time, Lin Yao shook his head and forced himself not to think about him.
After returning to the village, Lin Yao drove the carriage to Lin's house and picked up Yao's mother and went up the mountain together.
Xiao Moyao was chopping firewood in the courtyard, and after seeing that they were all here, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand to help Lin Yao get things.
Xiao Douding was startled by Xiao Ash who suddenly came out, and hurriedly hid behind Lin Yao, exclaiming, "Dog, sister has a dog!"
"Xiaobao is not afraid, this is Xiao Ash, it doesn't bite, it's very docile, come and touch it." Lin Yao picked up Xiao Ash and handed it to Xiao Douding to see.
"Whoa......" Ash yelled at him with a grin, looking like a good baby.
Xiao Douding was also interested in its stupid appearance, pursed his lips and reached out to touch Xiao Ash's head, but was licked by it several times, and Xiao Dou was frightened and took a few steps back.
Lin Yao hurriedly rewarded Xiao Ash with a burst chestnut, "Naughty." ”
After a few people entered the house, Lin Yao asked Xiao Moyao to open the earth dragon, the weather was cold, and it was time to burn the earth dragon to warm up.
Then she and Yao's mother worked on the dishes in the house, and Xiao Douding was defeated by Xiao Ash's shameless spirit, and happily made a mess with it.
"Yaoyao, aren't we going to burn the fire today? So how do you eat this meal? Seeing that Lin Yao just asked her to help wash the dishes, Yao's mother asked with some confusion when she didn't mean to burn the fire and put the pot in the pot.
"Hehe, mother, you'll find out later, I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised." Lin Yao smiled playfully at her and continued to sell Guanzi.
After processing the dishes, Lin Yao asked Xiao Moyao to set up a big table on the hot kang, and then put the dishes, hot pot and stand on it, there are only four people today, and only one pot is enough.
Then Lin Yao used iron tongs to pick up some silver charcoal that had been burned red in the stove in advance and put it in the groove on the hot pot stand, and added some water to the hot pot and covered the pot.
"Okay, mother, you guys go to the kang first, and I'll go get some sesame sauce." Lin Yao said excitedly and ran towards the kitchen.
Xiao Moyao helped take the dishes and chopsticks, he looked at the strange structure of the hot pot, and his eyes suddenly lit up, he probably guessed his Yaoyao's thoughts.
After the sesame sauce was ready, while the water was still boiling, Lin Yao went to the greenhouse to pick some apples, pears and tomatoes, washed them, cut them and put them on a plate.
After the water boiled, Lin Yao hurriedly put the seafood in half of the hot pot, put some mushrooms, spinach and sliced mutton in the other half pot, put a few drops of chili oil in it, and mixed it.
Lin Yao put the sesame sauce in front of them one by one, and said with a smile, "When the dishes in the pot are cooked, we will be able to eat." ”
Xiao Douding stared at this novel way of eating with wide eyes and stared intently, he glanced at the pot that was divided into two halves, and asked with a puzzled face, "Sister, what is the iron piece in the middle of this pot used for?" Why is it in the pan? ”
Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled at him and explained, "This iron sheet divides the pot into two distinct areas, and the soup and vegetables in these two areas do not affect each other, so you can eat two flavors of dishes in one pot, such as spicy soup and clear soup, and it will not be flavored, isn't it very convenient?" ”
"Yes, Yaoyao, your method is really smart, it must be very comfortable to eat this hot soup pot on this cold day." Yao's mother looked at the churning vegetables in the pot and swallowed her saliva and said, then pointed to the sesame sauce in front of her and asked, "Yaoyao, what kind of sauce is this, well, it tastes a little weird." ”
"Mother, this is sesame sauce, I added some salt to it, it is the best to eat with vegetables, you will know when you taste it."
"Sesame sauce? It's the first time I've eaten it. Yao's mother nodded rather curiously.
"It's not the first time I've eaten a soup pot, but it's all about setting up a pot in the wild to cook something casually, and it's the first time I've eaten such a delicate soup pot like today." Xiao Moyao also looked at Lin Yao with a little emotion and said.
"Then you can taste it later and see how my soup pot tastes?" Lin Yao said with a smile.
"It must be delicious." Xiao Moyao glanced at her with his lips hooked.
After a while, the dishes in the pot were cooked, and Lin Yao hurriedly took out a few clean plates and fished out all the dishes inside, and added some new dishes to it.
"Okay, let's eat it, the dishes on this plate are all cooked, let's dip some sesame sauce and eat it." Lin Yao said as she put some vegetables into the bowl in front of the three of them.
They were also curious and clumsy, dipped the vegetables in some sesame sauce, put them in their mouths and chewed them, and their eyes suddenly lit up in amazement.
"Sister, it's delicious, Xiaobao likes it so much." Xiao Douding ate a few bites of mushrooms and mutton and shouted happily.
"Yes, Yaoyao, I thought that the dishes boiled in water like this had no taste, but I didn't expect it to be so fragrant after being dipped in this sesame sauce, it was delicious, and it was so comfortable to eat hot." Yao's mother also nodded in agreement.
