Chapter 48 Cooking
Seeing how skilled her younger sister was, Ning Jing had no choice but to help. She took out a few sweet potatoes, washed them, and asked her younger sister to cut them into small pieces.
Of course, the sweet potatoes and potatoes are not peeled. They have trouble getting enough to eat now, so why peel them?
Ningjing put the sweet potato cubes cut by Li Xiaomei into the water. After a while, the water boiled. Now only the thick tree root was burning in the stove, and the fire was not very strong.
Ningjing first took out a bowl, then put the cornmeal in the bowl, then added some cold water, stirred the cornmeal first, and then poured it into the pot
Soon a pot of fragrant cornmeal and sweet potato porridge was ready. Ning Jing took a deep breath. It smelled really good. It had the fragrance of corn and the sweetness of sweet potato. The two flavors were perfectly combined together. Moreover, it tasted much better when kept warm than what she made in her previous life.
It could be because the cooking water is mountain spring water, or the air is fresh and unpolluted, and the corn and sweet potatoes are all grown naturally without pesticides or hormones.
Li Xiaomei has a very sharp nose, so of course she smelled it. She didn't expect Ning Jing to be good at cooking, and it smelled pretty good.
Ningjing put the shredded potatoes that her younger sister had cut into pieces in the washbasin. She really couldn't bear to use them. Look how neatly they were cut, they looked like fake potatoes.
Then add the remaining cornmeal, without adding bran or other seasonings, just some salt, and knead it into dough.
Ning Jing and her little sister wanted to bring down the cornmeal and sweet potato porridge, but she was too small to reach it, and most importantly, it was a bit heavy.
Ning Jing looked at Li Xiaomei, who was younger than her, and felt that Li Xiaomei was even worse!
But Li Xiaomei's small body actually contained enormous energy. Before Ning Jing could stop her, she stood on the bench and took it down without using anything as a cushion.
Ning Jing was afraid that Li Xiaomei was burned, so she quickly pulled Li Xiaomei over and looked at her hand while saying, "How is it? Are you burned?"
But Ning Jing saw a pair of small hands covered with calluses!
The thick calluses prevent Li Xiaomei from feeling the heat!
Li Xiaomei felt a little embarrassed and retracted her hand. This was the first time that someone other than her brother cared about her.
Ningjing's hands are also delicate and soft, very different from hers.
Li Xiaomei didn't know what to say, so she asked, "What else is Jingjing going to do?"
Ningjing saw that there was still a little thick tree root burning slightly on the stove, so she was about to get the stewed bones. Boss Ning had stewed a large pot of bones, which were now in the pot. Due to the cold weather, they had turned into bone jelly, and there was still half a pot left. Ningjing thought she didn't need to cook, but just heat it up.
Of course, while it is heating, scrape off some of the white oil on the bone jelly and spread it on the edge of the iron pan, then stick the shredded potatoes and cornmeal on the edge of the iron pan like pot stickers.
The sun is inexplicably lazy in winter and will soon go down the mountain to rest, and the sky will gradually darken.
There was still some light, and the four little ones who had been cleaning the old house came back. When they got home, they smelled such an enticing scent!
Want to try it!
But Ning Jing stopped them and brought a basin over to tell them to wash their hands before they could eat.
[Ding, good habits are reflected in the details. Encourage the brothers to develop good habits of washing hands and maintaining hygiene to gain four points.]
Ning Jing and Li Xiaomei set the table while they were washing their hands.
When Boss Ning came over, the aroma filled his nose. He took a look, hiding the worry in his eyes, and said with a smile, "We are in for a treat today."
It’s a bit late today, I’ll add a chapter on bug fixing tomorrow.
The author has collapsed on the bed due to exhaustion.
I never thought I was so capable that I could push a trolley and run under the summer sun.
