Yun Xue sat at the Zhong family for a while and went home, and the Wu family hadn't sent it yet. Wu Chunsheng has already gone out, Yuxiang and Yuqi are tidying up farm tools at home, and they are going to start going to the ground in the next few days, and all kinds of household goods have to be cleaned up.

Seeing Yun Xue coming, Han Yue'e was naturally very happy, and took the toad sent by Yun Xue, and after talking for a while, Yun Xue said goodbye and went home.

"Eldest sister, are we going to stew the toad at noon, or stew it at night?" After returning home, Yunni asked.

"It's noon, it's been a long time, so don't die anymore." At this time, many peasant families drink porridge at night, after all, they don't have to work at night, just drink some porridge. The Han family is not so good, but Yun Xue is also afraid of making good food at night, these children eat too much, and it is easy to accumulate food, so they decided to stew toads at noon.

"By the way, eldest sister, let's soak some sorghum rice. While the ground hasn't dried up in the past few days, let's make some pancakes first, and start farming in a few days, how can there be that idle time to cook? Yun Xue remembered this and discussed it with Yun Ni.

"Okay, I just mixed those sweet potato powders at home. Besides, it's also convenient to eat pancakes, and now that the weather is warm, come back at noon to dust off some water and get some green onion sauce, you can eat a full meal, and you can spare more time to work. Yun Ni thinks this is a good idea, this year, there are so many places in the house, naturally she can't just point to Yun Xue and Tianfu, she also has to go down to the field to help work. In this case, cooking or something is a problem. If there were pancakes, it would solve a lot of things.

The two sisters are both people who do what they say, so they brush the jar very quickly and scoop out the sorghum rice from the warehouse and soak it. Yun Xue soaked some beans alone, where can there be less beans in the pancakes?

"Soak it at this time, and then put it out early tomorrow, and you can make pancakes during the day. Just after a day or two, the ground is dry, and you can go to the field to farm, but there is no delay at all. Yun Xue was working and calculating.

After soaking the rice and beans, it was not too early at this time, and Yunni went to the cellar to find some potatoes. Although the toad can be stewed and eaten directly, but that thing is not much bigger, Yun Xue left about forty or fifty, and if it is really stewed, it is only a small pot, and it is not resistant to eating at all. Under normal circumstances, everyone is willing to put some potatoes in the stewed toad, the potatoes absorb the taste of the toad, and it is good to eat hot.

There aren't many potatoes left at home, and they've all sprouted. Yun Xue naturally knew that the sprouted potatoes were poisonous, but at this time, there was nothing to eat, and she couldn't take care of it so much. The sisters peeled the potatoes and vigorously cut off the sprouts, and they were ready to use.

The toad must be scalded to death before stewing again, but not with boiling water, as it will be scalded. The water temperature is about sixty or seventy degrees, anyway, you can reach in and feel hot. Yun Xue put the bag containing the toad into a basin, then opened the mouth of the bag and poured hot water into it at once.

The toads moved a few times before they died. A dead toad will have its legs stretched out and straight. The skin of the toad will have some mucus, so when it is done, add some cold water to it and start cleaning it to wash off the mucus.

Yunni ran out of fire, and when the pot was hot, pour in the oil, then make the green onion and fry the pot, and then pour the toad that Yunxue had washed into the pot and stir-fry. Then add salt, pepper noodles, green sauce and other things to taste, stir-fry for a while, add water and simmer. Not long after the water boils, pour in the potato strips cut into the thickness of little fingers, and simmer them in the pot together, until the soup is thick and the potatoes are stewed, and then they can be taken out of the pot.

In the other pot, stewed some sorghum rice, it is rare to eat a toad, just rice, soaked in some hot or something, the most delicious.

"Eldest sister, what are you doing, so fragrant?" Yun Ting and Yun Lei came in from outside, and immediately smelled the fragrance. "Is it a stewed toad?"

"Yes, if you eat toads at noon today, wash your hands quickly, and you will eat later." Yun Xue came out of the kitchen with a smile and urged them to hurry up and wash their hands.

It was not easy to walk in the morning, Dong Lao did not lead Yunxia out, but the old and the young piled up blocks in the house. Yunxia put a big stack high, swaying, and looked like it was about to fall. As a result, as soon as he heard Yun Xue say that he wanted to eat, the little guy couldn't take care of the building blocks, so he went directly to the ground to eat. The result can be imagined, the building blocks she finally put in place fell down in an instant.

The little guy was not sad, and quickly pulled the scattered blocks together, and then pulled Dong Lao's hand and said, "Eat, I'm hungry." Come back and swing again. ”

The weather was warm, so I set up a table outside. The children sat around the table, smelling the aroma of toad stewed potatoes, and swallowing their saliva one by one.

Yun Xue served them rice one by one, "Okay, hurry up and eat." She laughed.

The children didn't move, until Yun Xue and Yun Ni also sat down with food, and then they moved their chopsticks to eat.

Dong Lao grabbed a toad, removed the hind legs and gave them to Yunxia, and ate the rest of the stomach by himself. "Well, it tastes good, you sisters are cooking now, and the taste is getting better and better. It's delicious, it's fast, let's try it quickly. ”

The children also grabbed their own toads and started eating, but Yun Xue sandwiched a piece of potato. She likes to eat potatoes in them, and she feels that they taste better than toads.

"Sister, eat quickly." Tianfu took two toads and put them in Yun Xue's bowl.

Xiao Yunxia was eating this thing for the first time, and the big guy didn't dare to let her eat her stomach, for fear that she wouldn't eat it and be choked by the small bones inside. So everyone picked the hind legs, and took out the bones inside, and then put them in Yunxia's bowl. Yun Xue used a spoon to fill Yunxia with some soup and soaked it in rice. "This soup tastes better, you can taste it."

When children eat, they are willing to eat with soup in it. Yun Xue remembered, it seems that someone had said before that this is not good for digestion, but I didn't see any discomfort in the children? So she didn't stop it. Yun Xue herself poured some soup into the bowl, and the rice absorbed the taste of the soup, even if she didn't eat vegetables, she could still eat enough.

It's all half-sized, when it's the most edible, plus the dishes are delicious, can this meal be less? When everyone was full, there was only some soup left in the small pot. Yun Xue couldn't help but smile when she looked at the children with round stomachs. "Don't lie down, go out and bask in the sun. I knew that you must have eaten a lot of this meal, so I didn't dare to wait until the evening. ”

Tianfu and Yun Thunder went out of the house and went outside. Everyone sat on the stools, basking in the sun.

At the beginning of the next day, Yun Xue and Tianfu had already started grinding with grinding sticks. Yunni was not idle, she lit the fire, cooked some cooked rice, and then let Yunxue and them mix in it and push it out together. Pushing and grinding this job is really tiring, Yun Xue held the grinding stick and pushed for a while, and her tired arms were sore.

Tianfu asked Yun Xue to rest for a while, and then he pushed Yun Xue for a while. "Eldest sister, I think our family can raise another little donkey, so that it can help us grind or something. This year, we have to grind out all the food we eat, which is actually quite laborious. Tianfu said while grinding.

Yun Xue sat there resting, thinking about it and thinking that it was okay, "Wait for a while to see if you can meet it, raising a donkey can do a lot of work, but there must be something for it to eat." It's easy to talk about anything in the summer, but I'm afraid that there will be nothing to feed in the winter. However, this year, we have a lot of land, and the straw is kept to feed the cattle and donkeys, which is enough. Yun Xue pondered for a while and felt that raising a donkey was acceptable.

"It's just to raise, there are still cattle at home, anyway, they are brought out to feed them together, and it doesn't take much effort to do things by the way. In addition, the donkey can also pull the cart when it is big, and the things that come and go lightly can be pulled by the donkey cart. The donkey walks much faster than the ox. Tianfu still tried hard to persuade Yun Xue.

Yun Xue remembered that when she was young in her previous life, she could see the kind of donkey pulling her feet everywhere, and the little donkey was indeed much faster than a cow. "Okay, listen to you, after a while after the spring ploughing, let's go to the county seat to see if there are any donkeys for sale." Yun Xue smiled, in the future, the more the family business will be purchased.

Yunxue and Tianfu changed shifts and grinded, and it was not until the middle of the hour that they were all launched. Yunni asked Yunxue and them to eat first, while she packed up the pancakes and waited.

Yun Xue ate quickly, "Yun Ni, you help me burn the fire under the tweezer first, and I'm almost done eating." Don't forget, rub the top of the pan with an oil bag. After Yun Xue finished speaking, she quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, which was considered full.

It happened that the pan was also hot, Yun Xue tied an apron, stood in front of the pan, scooped a spoonful of pancake foam and tried it, to see how the sweet potato powder and cooked rice in it were mixed. Okay, the first pancake was ugly and had several holes, but the softness was good. The hole is mainly because the pan is not used for a long time, just now the oil bag rubbed a little longer, the oil is too slippery, and a few more pancakes are good.

Yun Xue baked a few pancakes, and her hand came smoothly, which was much better. At this time, the pancakes will not have holes. Yunni took two stools and put a panel on them so that the baked pancakes could be placed.

The pancakes were so hot that the windows were all open, and the freshly baked pancakes, with their sweet smell, drifted out through the windows.

When someone passing by outside smells it, they know whose house is making the pancakes. Those who have half a intestine idle can't help but feel even hungrier.

"Sister Yunxue, are you making pancakes at home? Let's come and see what's going on. Baozhu and Mingzhu came in from outside and said with a grin. Sister Yunxue, brand a bigger one, give me a taste. ”

Yun Xue sat at the Zhong family for a while and went home, and the Wu family hadn't sent it yet. Wu Chunsheng has already gone out, Yuxiang and Yuqi are tidying up farm tools at home, and they are going to start going to the ground in the next few days, and all kinds of household goods have to be cleaned up.
