Chapter 222 Considerations
In fact, many times it may be difficult for the younger generation to fully understand and empathize with the feelings of the older generation.
Based on this idea, after traveling to this time and space, Zhao Chunhua did not have high hopes of gaining the trust of Shu Yanyou and his brother.
After all, in her opinion, relying on others to arrange her life is never as reassuring as taking the initiative herself.
Instead of leaving your destiny to others, it is better to face challenges bravely and change the status quo through your own efforts.
Sometimes Zhao Chunhua would question whether her ideas were too pessimistic and extreme, but after years of verification, she found that there was actually nothing wrong with this approach, and perhaps she could continue on this path in the future.
After dealing with the cut chicken and ribs on hand, Zhao Chunhua sat quietly on the simple stone bed and began to daydream.
After a while, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves and began to clean the whole house.
Every morning, she would pick up the broom and sweep the floor carefully.
My grandmother always did this when she was alive. She always said that a clean home would bring good luck.
Later, when she lived alone, she would sweep occasionally, but not as diligently as before.
But since she traveled to this world, she has picked up this habit again.
It seems that doing so can give myself a little sense of security and make this strange new world a little warmer.
Her main task now is to use bamboo branches to clean the roof and get rid of those annoying spider webs and accumulated dust.
Although this task seems simple, it is actually quite time-consuming and laborious, especially in this old house that has been in disrepair for a long time.
Every tiny strand of spider silk hides countless stories, and every grain of dust that is raised is a trace of time.
After sweeping a large area on the floor, she began to clean the rag and prepare to wipe the furniture.
Tables, chairs, cabinets...
Every piece of furniture carries the imprint of past life.
The bamboo couch requires special treatment. First, turn it over and carefully sweep away the dust and debris hidden at the bottom, then gently wipe the entire surface with a damp cloth.
Then carefully place it in a ventilated place to dry.
In this small house without air conditioning or fans, sunlight and wind are the best dryers.
When all the furniture has been cleaned, she will take out the mop she made by herself to give the floor a final cleanup, ensuring that even the most hidden corners are not forgotten.
The purpose of making such a tool is actually to save more time.
If you have to squat on the ground and slowly wipe the floor with a rag every time, how much effort will it take?
Therefore, it didn't take long for Zhao Chunhua to decide that she must make a convenient, fast and efficient cleaning tool no matter what.
In fact, making things is not difficult for her.
At first, she found a wooden stick that was more convenient to use and used it as a supporting structure. Then she selected some old clothes that were no longer worn and carefully cut them into long strips of similar size. Finally, she tied them tightly around the head of the wooden stick to form a round mop surface that could be used.
Although the cleaning process is still quite long and inefficient due to the small area, it is still barely usable.
So Zhao Chunhua tried to improve the original design.
She used several pieces of thick, straight and unbending wood to form a stable and strong basic support, which was shaped like the letter T; then she carefully selected several pieces of waste fabrics and cut them into strips of cloth with uniform width, and placed them one by one on another pre-polished and smooth wooden board; through a series of precise operations, she nailed a proper number of small nails on both sides to fix the position; in addition, she used ropes to repeatedly wrap around the joint several times to increase its firmness.
After this transformation, we finally successfully created a good helper that is both broad and practical - a large mop.
Choosing the right and useful tools can make things easier and significantly improve efficiency.
With just these three small rooms, she can completely clean up the dirt in every corner inside and outside within an hour.
Even today is a dark day without any light.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the clear goal that we can better focus on the current task in this slightly depressing environment.
Surprisingly, today Zhao Chunhua got up even earlier than Xiao Shizi, who usually woke up early.
This is because there is a very important plan waiting to be implemented today - that is to make a delicious traditional birthday noodle meal for the family by hand.
You know, since she came to this place, all the noodles she had eaten came from outside.
If she really has to cook it herself, whether in a restaurant or at a neighbor or friend's home, she is often willing to just make a simple version of the dumpling soup.
However, the situation today is different. She first took out a part of the white wheat flour dough that had been fermented yesterday and placed it on a spacious and flat workbench, slowly spreading it out and rolling it into a round pancake of appropriate thickness; then she used a sharp knife to cut continuously along the preset path until a regular and beautiful Z-shaped pattern was formed.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to make ramen. As long as you are careful, the noodles made in this way will maintain their long shape without breaking.
For someone who is not very familiar with the art of ramen, this is very inspiring.
After sprinkling some flour on the chopping board, you can start kneading the noodles.
In order to prevent the noodles from sticking to your hands or the board easily, it is very important to add flour before making them.
Considering that the little guy has a small mouth, the noodles must be kneaded very fine and soft to be suitable for him to eat.
This is a process that requires extra careful attention from the producer.
In the traditional sense, longevity noodles are eaten from beginning to end without interruption. Such noodles are considered a symbol of great luck.
In order to cater to such customs, only an extremely long handmade noodle was made as a special item, and the remaining dough was processed into strips of normal length for the family to enjoy together at breakfast time.
I had already cooked fresh chicken soup last night, and set aside a bowl of it to heat up this morning. In addition, I also simmered the cabbage over low heat until it was soft and glutinous, and it tasted smooth and delicate, as if it would melt in your mouth.
I originally planned to have fried eggs with noodles, but later considering the need to make it easier for children to eat, I finally decided to change to boiled eggs as they are easier to chew and absorb.
This subtle detail reflects parents' consideration for their children's food safety and health.
After eating a hearty and healthy breakfast, Zhao Chunhua quickly went to the warehouse to pick out all the ingredients that would be used and prepared to deal with the afternoon's affairs.
