"I don't know, I brought this rice from home, and it is said to be rice from the south."

"No wonder, I've heard that the rice in the land of fish and rice is particularly good, maybe your rice is the rice over there."

Shi Qinghuan smiled after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she asked Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, can you teach me how to steam rice?" ”

"Yes, you can come with me into the kitchen."

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he followed Wang Ailan towards the kitchen.

After Wang Ailan entered the kitchen, she turned on the faucet, and then said to Shi Qinghuan while washing the rice: "Actually, steaming rice is very simple, that is, washing the rice, then adding an appropriate amount of water to the rice, and finally steaming it in the pot for half an hour." ”

"So how much water should I add?"

"One-to-one, you insert your fingers into the lunch box with water, and then look at the joints of the fingers, if the rice does not pass the first finger joint, then the water is added to the second box of finger joints, so that the steamed rice is just right for dryness and wetness and hardness."

"I see, thank you, Aunt Wang."

"What's so thankful for this, if you don't have anything in the future, just come to me."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you, then I'll go home and make lunch first."

After Wang Ailan heard Shi Qinghuan's words, she thought of her mother-in-law, so she cheekily called Shi Qinghuan, and then said to Shi Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, I have something I want to trouble you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I want to ask if you have any rice from the south?"

"Yes, but it's not much, just a few pounds."

"Then can you even me half a catty? Recently, my mother-in-law's appetite is very bad, I think she is a southerner, she should like to eat rice over there, so I want to exchange half a catty of rice from you to improve her food. ”

"No problem, I'll give you a pound."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

"Aunt Wang, don't be polite to me, you are the first person I came here to help me, so this little favor is nothing to me, I will go and get you rice."

"I'll go with you, save you another trip."

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he took advantage of Wang Ailan's inattention to take out the apples in the basket and put them on the table, and then went out with Zhang Ailan and walked towards his house.

When she got home, she brought Zhang Ailan a glass of water, then reached out and took the cloth bag that Zhang Ailan brought, and walked towards the kitchen.

When she entered the kitchen, she directly took out a pound or two of rice from the space and poured it into a cloth bag, and then he carried the cloth bag out of the kitchen and walked towards the living room.

After she returned to the living room, she handed the puppet show to Wang Ailan and said, "Aunt Wang, there is no weighing at home, so I don't know if the rice is enough for a catty."

However, this rice is more expensive than the rice we sell, but because the weight is unknown, you will give it according to the price of this rice, and the rice is even a catty, so that none of us will suffer. ”

After Wang Ailan heard Shi Qinghuan's words, she reached out and took the cloth bag that Shi Qinghuan handed her, and then she put it in her hand and checked it, knowing that the rice in the cloth bag was definitely more than a catty.

So she said to the waiter Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, the rice in this cloth bag is definitely more than one catty, so you can't follow what you said, now the rice of the supply and marketing cooperatives is three cents and sixty-one catties and still needs a ticket, so I will give you five cents directly, and I won't give you a ticket, do you think this is okay?" ”
