Chapter 18: The Wise Man Cooks

"Okay, why can't this work, Sister Xinghua, you work better than me, and it's definitely no problem to raise pigs." Tang Juan was very happy that Xinghua could stand up by herself.

The two sisters talked and went to sleep, and the next morning, Donald got up early, and it was still dark, he packed up his things and went to the ground, and he didn't eat in the morning.

Qin Si couldn't get up so early for a while, and when he was cooking in the kitchen, he was a little top-heavy standing by the stove, his face was pale, and he yawned from time to time.

Tang Juan also got up early, dressed neatly, tied his trouser legs tightly with a rope, wrapped his hair in an indigo cloth, and worked without getting in the way, "I'll come here." ”

Qin Si handed over the warm water and willow branches for brushing his teeth, "There's nothing busy, I said that I am responsible for three meals, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Tang Juan wanted to say more, but Qin Si snorted a little unhappily, "Does Juan Wan think I'm useless in my heart?" I knew that Wanwan said that she believed that I was lying to me. ”

"I don't blame Wanwan, after all, I used to be like that, Wanwan didn't believe me, and it should be."

"What's the matter, I'm just worried that Xianggong's body can't bear it, you see that your face is really not good-looking." Tang Juan was anxious when he heard him say this, and hurriedly explained, "I definitely believe you, don't worry about it." ”

Qin Siden nodded with a smile, took the person's hand and shook it, "I know that Wanwan is good, you go and feed the chickens and ducks, I will be pecked as soon as I pass, it's really strange."

Tang Juan thought that Qin Si wanted to help her feed the chickens yesterday but was chased and pecked by several big roosters in the family all the way, and couldn't help laughing, first went to feed the chickens and ducks, and then carried a machete and a basket to beat pigweed.

The place where the pigweed is beaten is not too far, you can have morning dinner back and forth, and after eating a good meal, Tang Juan took the rice basket to the ground, and told Qin Si to be careful before leaving, "Sister Xinghua, if you have something, you can call me, I will come back with my father for lunch, and you don't need to send it." ”

"I know, be careful when you go to the ground." Qin Si extinguished the stove and took a small stove to boil medicine for himself and apricot blossoms.

Already very proficient.

The people in the village basically got up, and all looked hurriedly ready to harvest, Boss Tang had been busy in the field for a while, and the sun was rising at this time, and there was a little heat on his body, just when Tang Juan came with a crockpot of noodle soup that was just drying, "Dad eats." ”

Donald put down a bundle of bean stalks in his hand, put down the sickle and clapped his hands, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"Eat, this is made by Xianggong, this is noodle soup, with sugar," Tang Juan took out the wet cloth towel and wiped Tang Laoda's hands, and then put down the rice basket, inside was a crockpot, two steamed buns, an egg and a small bowl of pickles, "Xianggong said that he got up late this morning and didn't have time to make anything else, so he would eat it first." ”

Donald laughed and wiped his hands clean, "That's all, there's a boiled egg, you can eat it." ”

"I've eaten it," Tang Juan shook his head and worked with a sickle, "Xianggong boiled three, one for each person, and said that boiled eggs must be eaten once a day to replenish the body." ”

Boss Tang was stunned when he heard it, "One a day, how many chickens do you have to raise to get enough, and you have to go to the city to buy them, how can you eat so luxuriously." ”

It's really a reader who doesn't know how expensive it is, and doesn't know that money is hard to make, and it's not solid at all to float in the sky.

"Xianggong said that he would find a way to make money." Tang Juan couldn't help but defend his father-in-law.

Donald looked at her, didn't speak again, and ate silently.

On the other side, while cleaning the yard, Qin Si silently recited the model text he memorized yesterday in his heart, and when the medicine was boiled, he poured it out to cool, and went to knock on the door and shouted Xinghua up, "Sister Xinghua, Sister Xinghua?" ”

Xinghua has never slept so comfortably.

The quilt on the kang is soft and comfortable, warm and smells of sunshine, you don't have to get up early to work, and the bones of your body are stretched out, and it is very relaxed.

Qin Si woke people up, avoided suspicion, told her that there was medicine on the stove and morning food, and went back to Donald's house with his medicine bowl.

Xinghua didn't pretend anymore, after eating, she cleaned up the pot and stove, swept the chicken, duck and pig pens again, and went to see the vegetable patch in the backyard, then washed her hands, rubbed the corners of her clothes in the yard, and shouted a little embarrassed, "Qin Xianggong, I'm here to clean up, I'm going to work in the field." ”

Qin Si hurriedly came out, "The lady said that she wants you to have a good rest, and they will do the work in the field." ”

"If I can't stop you, the lady will scold me to death when she comes back at night."

Xinghua said twice, "This, it's okay, I'll go and see, it's not appropriate for me to stay at home, you and the girl don't care, but the spittle of the people in the village can drown people." ”

Qin Si thought that this was indeed the case, people were selfish, of course he only cared about Tang Juan's reputation, and nodded when he heard the words, "Then Sister Xinghua, don't go home, lest something happen again, go directly to the field." ”

"Hey, you should do your studies, I'm leaving."

Qin Si watched her go out, closed the courtyard door, and counted the time to prepare for lunch.

There is still a lot of braised pork head meat left, and it is not good if you go back to the pot more times, so it is better to get a steamed cabbage at noon.

Working in the field is physical work, eating to keep up with the energy, the water is soft and tendonous, roll the marinated vegetables and marinade, mix with garlic vinegar and other seasonings, and then make a soup, not greasy and delicious, and don't make a plate of dishes, eating on the ground is not clean.

He will roll it over in a while, wash his hands and eat it directly.

It is not difficult to make a steamed bun with water, roll out the dough normally, put the steamer on the shelf, put the cage cloth with wet water, put one first, and cover the whole lid.

Wait for the heat to come out, then put a second one, and so on until they are all stacked, and then steam for another five or six minutes.

Qin Si memorized while cooking, and when it was ordered, he took the vegetable basket, took a clean cage cloth and wrapped the rolled steamed cabbage in it, closed the courtyard door and carried the basket to find Tang Juan.

Every family has women and children who go to the fields to deliver food, and no one wants to leave the fields when the farm is busy, for fear that something will happen to the crops.

Qin Si was out of place with the basket on his shoulder, and the women's eyes glanced straight at him.

"Qin Xianggong, what's in this basket?" Deliberately asked if there was something good.

Qin Si smiled, "Send food to my wife and my father." ”

"Yo, Qin Xianggong did it himself? Show your aunt what you are cooking. Immediately a fat woman came to see her head shining with her eyes, and stretched out her hand to stir up the cloth.

Qin Si turned his hand and put the basket away, "You have to eat hot, my aunt will be cold when I open it, then if my wife eats bad stomach, I have to ask my aunt for money to get medicine." ”

"Cut, that's right, then what kind of stomach is your Tang Juan, this can eat a bad stomach, very spoiled, don't hesitate to look at it, what delicious food can a big man make." The woman pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and walked away.

Qin Si smiled unabated, and walked carefully to his own land, "Lady, lady, I'm here." ”
