Chapter 136: Love
The design should not be too monotonous or boring, but the price should not be outrageously high due to the complicated production process.
I have been busy dealing with various daily chores these days and have had no time to think about these things. Now, taking advantage of the quiet time at night, I can finally calm down and think, and record those fleeting sparks of design inspiration one by one. In just one night, two satisfying sketches of works were born.
While adults are busy, children always get tired and fall asleep easily.
The little stone that was playing nearby had fallen asleep on the chair without realizing it.
Zhao Chunhua quietly took out a warm and comfortable quilt from the locker and covered his small body.
The cool night breeze blowing in through the half-open window indicates that a stormy weather change is about to come.
No matter which era it is, it is often impossible to avoid continuous rainy days during the autumn harvest season. Especially in ancient times when science and technology were backward and the conditions for grain harvesting and storage were far less ideal than those of modern times, people should be more careful to prevent losses caused by rain.
Looking at the increasingly thick and dark clouds outside the window, Zhao Chunhua silently clasped her hands together and prayed that the possible rainstorm would come later, at least until all the crops could be safely stored in the warehouse.
Until noon the next day, there was still no sign of rain. But just when Little Stone woke up from his sleep, a heavy rain fell without warning.
The sudden downpour was so fierce that the entire world was shrouded in rain almost instantly.
The millet that many families had dried outside a few days ago also became wet after the sudden rain.
Everyone had to hurry to bring as much of the wet grains into the house as possible and spread them out in the living room.
If these damp millets are stacked together, they will not dry out naturally, but will germinate due to the overly dense environment, causing considerable trouble for storage.
The real continuous heavy rain only fell on this land from the third day and did not stop for the whole day.
As the rain continued to fall, the originally sultry air around gradually became cool and pleasant.
In view of the current relatively cool but somewhat chilly weather conditions, the mother dressed Xiao Shitou in soft, comfortable and warm long-sleeved cotton clothes instead of thin and breathable gauze clothes.
At this moment, Little Stone was lying quietly on the bed in his room, wrapped tightly in a thick and warm quilt, and falling into a sweet sleep.
At the same time, Zhao Chunhua was busy sitting on a bamboo chair in the hall.
She had a round bamboo winnowing basket at her hand, and was meticulously peeling the tightly wrapped leaves on the outer layer of fresh corn.
In order to better complete this task, she wore a pair of hand-sewn fine cotton gloves.
First, start by gently tearing a few cracks along the naturally formed lines on the corn skin. The subsequent operations will be much easier.
Zhao Chunhua actually likes this simple job that requires patience and carefulness.
Because in the process of performing this series of seemingly monotonous and repetitive actions, she could feel unprecedented peace of mind and relaxation.
Since there was no urgent need to eat, she could do this work in a leisurely manner.
As time goes by, the sense of tranquility from deep within my heart slowly spreads.
It was still raining heavily outside, and the small clay stove used to cook food had been moved indoors to shelter from the rain.
Taking advantage of this free time, Zhao Chunhua decided to make herself a small pot of warm and nourishing red date ginger tea.
It is said that this tea has excellent blood-replenishing and qi-boosting effects. Drinking it two or three times a day can have a good effect on strengthening the body.
When it was approaching noon, Zhao Chunhua put down the dustpan in her hand that was full of peeled yellow granules, turned around and walked into the small warehouse in her home where food supplies were stored, took out the cooked rice prepared earlier and the fresh fish fillets that had been marinated in advance, and prepared to make a nutritious, delicious and easy-to-digest fish porridge to enjoy.
Directly adding the prepared rice grains into water and reheating them can not only save a lot of tedious operating procedures, but also greatly shorten the waiting time.
First, add enough water to the pot, then put in cold rice and stir evenly until it is completely dispersed; then put the cleaned fish fillets into the boiling hot water and cook them together until they are cooked; when they are soft and rotten, take them all out, place them on the back of a large spoon and crush them with appropriate force; then carefully pick out the remaining tiny bones, and after removing them, the last step is to pour these processed ingredients back into the large porcelain jar containing the hot rice porridge soup and continue to cook until it becomes thick and rich.
Xiao Shitou is almost eight months old and eats meat more and more often.
Now he eats local ingredients, and Zhao Chunhua carefully keeps the reserves in the warehouse for herself.
Although the conditions here are a little more crude than modern ones, these pure natural foods make people feel more at ease when eating them.
Zhao Chunhua particularly enjoys the process of feeding her baby. Her little baby is simply an angel sent by God. He is very active at mealtime. He always looks well-behaved, holding a small pillow, tilting his little head, and looking forward to his mother's arrival with his clear and bright eyes.
Every time when he finished eating all the prepared meals, Zhao Chunhua's inner sense of accomplishment and satisfaction almost overflowed from her heart.
As children grow up day by day, their sleep time gradually begins to decrease.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Chunhua brought out a shallow wooden basin and placed a cloth bag filled with corn kernels inside it.
This is to allow the little stones to play with the corn kernels.
In fact, at first, she planned to use beans as materials to play this game.
But on second thought, I feel that beans are more suitable for food processing such as grinding soy milk and making tofu.
It would be better to replace it with corn kernels, so that even if they are accidentally crushed by small stones, they can still be used to feed chickens.
This activity has only been going on for about two days, but it’s clear that the little ones are showing a lot of interest in it.
Even though he was wearing socks and a cloth bag, Xiao Shitou could still feel the unique bumps and grooves of the corn kernels under his feet.
He smiled happily at this new experience.
The clear and pleasant laughter echoed in her ears, causing Zhao Chunhua, who was standing aside observing all this, to slightly raise her lips, with a doting and helpless smile on her face: "You, were you a prostitute your whole life in your previous life?
