Ruan Mengmeng, who grew up in an orphanage, and her good best friend Zhang Xinxin are a pair of childhood friends who grew up together.
Despite their different personalities, the two girls re...
Burning coal briquettes is much cheaper than burning gas.
The most important thing is that it is not suitable to use a gas stove for boiling water.
What a waste.
"Mom!" Zhang Sinian opened the thing in his hand and handed it over.
"Where did it come from?" Bai Rong took a glance.
"Mengmeng gave it to me!" Zhang Sinian did not hide it and said it directly.
"This child..."
I wanted to refuse.
However, thinking about the fact that we will be living together in the future, these things cannot be eaten raw.
She could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Put it there!"
She was busy scrubbing the big iron pot.
When I came here, I brought almost everything I could.
I moved with the mentality of not wasting anything.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing in the new house.
There is a stove, but no wok or rice cooker.
When I left, I cleaned the pot before packing it up.
Maybe it's because the water was not drained enough, causing the bottom of the pot to be a little rusty.
Bai Rong used a loofah to rub hard, trying to wipe off the yellow rust stains.
"Mom, let me do it!"
Seeing that she was having some difficulty washing, Zhang Sinian put down his things and took the pot.
Zhang Xinxin, who was squatting there, was trying hard to pick out the coal slag and dust from the honeycomb coal fire, and slowly cleaning it out.
"Xinxin, go help your mother wash the vegetables! Leave this job to uncle!"
He had just taken out some coal slag when the fire tongs in his hand were taken over by Ma Dahe who came over.
When he was cleaning just now, he didn't pay attention and only cleaned the surface.
He never cleaned up things like the coal fire.
There is no such thing in the countryside.
For decades, they have been cooking with firewood.
Who knew the wonderful uses of this thing.
"Okay, uncle, go slower, it's too dirty!"
Zhang Xinxin didn't argue with him and immediately made room for him to squat.
"Mom, what are you doing washing vegetables? Let me help you wash them!"
"Wash the bacon, I'll get some pickled cabbage and we'll stir-fry it!"
Don’t even think about vegetables or anything like that.
I just moved here and haven't bought all my things yet.
Where do the vegetables come from?
Even so, Bai Rong knew that all the vegetables at home were stored in Zhang Xinxin's unknown place.
However, she didn't want to take any risks just for a bite of food.
When the Ruan siblings came over, Zhang Xinxin was in the yard, washing the bacon over and over again.
In his mouth, he was humming a little tune...
A few duck eggs were floating in the water in the enamel basin.
Seeing her nonchalant look, Ruan Mengmeng couldn't help but twitch her lips.
They will be living together from now on, and Ruan Mengmeng felt embarrassed just sitting and waiting for dinner.
She simply rolled up her sleeves and washed the duck eggs.
Ruan Zilong also wanted to help, but was rejected by his two best friends.
The reason is that there is not much stuff and it is not worth adding another person.
"Sister Xinxin, your face is so dirty!"
"Huh? No way? I just washed my face!"
"Haha~ You definitely didn't wash it clean!"
Zhang Xinxin: Little brat, believe it or not, I will spank you!
Could it be that I accidentally got it on when I was poking the coal fire just now?
This is the only possibility.
Thinking this in his mind, he stuffed the washed bacon into Ruan Mengmeng's hands.
"Send it back to the kitchen first, I'll go wash my face!"
When Ruan Zilong saw her running away, he hurried after her.
Ruan Mengmeng was left alone. She smiled and shook her head, picked up the enamel basin and returned to the kitchen.
After the two men finished their work, they were driven out by Bai Rong.
When Ruan Mengmeng came back, only Bai Rong was left in the kitchen, washing sauerkraut.
"Steam the rice first, then you can put the duck eggs in and steam them together!"
When she heard the footsteps, she thought Zhang Xinxin had returned.
Arrange tasks directly.
"Use that stainless steel basin?"
In those days, there were no electric rice cookers, so people used large stainless steel basins to steam rice.
A big bowl is almost enough for eating.
However, Ruan Mengmeng had never cooked for so many people, so she was not sure for the moment.
Bai Rong paused when she heard her voice, then turned her head.
"It's Mengmeng! Where's Xinxin?"
Putting on a kind smile, she spoke gently.
Just now she thought it was Xinxin, so she blurted it out without hesitation.
Who would have thought that it wasn't that naughty ghost at all.
Only then did she come to her senses and realize that her daughter-in-law might think she was mean just because her voice was a little loud.
"She went to wash her face! Auntie, I can steam the rice too!"
Ruan Mengmeng also knew that Bai Rong had no other intentions, and she might just be reluctant to use her, so she asked Xinxin.
"This child..."
Bai Rong was a little amused and helpless.
"That's fine, just use that basin. Just be careful not to get burned!"
After steaming the rice, Bai Rong drove Ruan Mengmeng out of the kitchen.
Unable to overcome her stubborn temper, Ruan Mengmeng had no choice but to come out.
Bai Rong doesn't need anyone else either.
Use gas to cook, no need to burn firewood.
Therefore, there is no need for anyone to add firewood.
Bai Rong doesn't need them for cooking or making meals.
Everyone was bored and could only sit under the big tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
The dishes to be fried had just been cut and not even put on the plates when Zhang Weiguo, who had been out for the entire afternoon, came back.
After washing his face and hands, he headed straight for the kitchen.
This time, strangely enough, he was not driven out by Bai Rong.
This made Ruan Mengmeng and the others look at them in disbelief.
After a while, there was a crackling sound and a puff of white smoke came out of the kitchen chimney.
