Chapter 234 Big Discount
Zhao Chunhua looked at his carefree appearance and somehow reached out and picked him up.
Then, she began to rub his pink little face gently, muttering as she rubbed, "You, when will you learn to be sensible?"
This series of actions drew cheers from Xiao Shitou. He thought Zhao Chunhua was playing some new game with him!
So he opened his mouth and laughed out loud, the sound was so clear and sweet that it could cure all his troubles.
Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but smile gently as she looked at this life that became more vibrant because of laughter.
"I really can't do anything with you. You just keep smiling like an idiot. When you grow up, if you still don't know your priorities and act on your temper like you do now, I'll throw you out!"
Although he said threatening words, there was no ferocity in his tone, instead, there was a sense of doting.
At the end, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and secretly shook her head and said self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, forget it, I don't believe such angry words. Children don't understand these complicated things. Isn't it the most important to eat well and get enough sleep?"
After her thoughts drifted away for a while, Zhao Chunhua suddenly realized that it was getting late, so she quickly asked, "What do you want to eat in the evening? We ate a lot of meat at noon, and it feels a bit greasy. How about changing to something lighter, like making some corn tortillas? Do you like it?"
She looked down at the little one in her arms, who obviously didn't understand the question and was just trying to grab something that didn't exist in the air with his claws and teeth.
Seeing this, Zhao Chunhua couldn't help laughing. She straightened his slightly messy clothes and helped him sit steadily.
She turned around, pulled the bamboo cart, and slowly walked towards the kitchen.
The bamboo cart made a slight creaking sound as it passed over the smooth floor, which was particularly clear in the quiet room.
When I pushed open the kitchen door, there was still a slight smell of smoke from cooking with firewood in the afternoon.
She took out a tinder from the corner, lit the candle and hung it on the iron ring on the wall, which immediately added a bit of warm light to the whole room.
With the help of this little light, she carefully observed the materials on the stove and quickly made up her mind.
The following work went smoothly: first find a clean large bowl and pour the required cornmeal into it; then add the freshly boiled hot water and stir it quickly and evenly with chopsticks.
She knew that using hot water directly would make the cornmeal
The more delicate it is, the more fragrant, soft and delicious the cake will be.
When the temperature reached a suitable level, she carefully broke two eggs and beat them into the dough. She then added appropriate amounts of flour and baking powder, and continued to knead the dough with her hands until a soft and smooth dough was formed.
After completing these steps, Zhao Chunhua took a piece of white gauze, covered the surface of the dough with it, and put it aside for a while to allow it to fully ferment.
At the same time, she also reminded herself not to forget the time. After all, sending it for too long or not long enough would affect the final effect.
Finally, about half an hour later, when the gauze was lifted, what came into view was a ball of soft dough full of honeycomb-like holes.
This is a sign of successful fermentation, and it also indicates that tonight's dinner will be full of home warmth and satisfaction.
Seeing that everything ended smoothly, Zhao Chunhua felt relieved, as if all her tiredness was washed away by this simple yet pleasant process.
Brush a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pan, and do it gently and evenly. This can effectively prevent the dough from sticking to the bottom of the pan, and also make the fried pancakes more crispy and delicious.
Put the fermented dough on the chopping board and cut it into small pieces of appropriate size with a knife. Make each piece as evenly proportioned as possible to avoid inconsistent heat when frying.
Next, flatten the dough pieces gently with your hands and place them in the preheated pot.
At this time, you need to turn to low heat and fry slowly and patiently until both sides show an attractive golden color and exude a rich aroma.
What Zhao Chunhua likes most is the golden and crispy fried crust of the corn tortilla. Just looking at it makes her appetite increase.
She especially enjoys the "crunch" sound and delicate taste when biting down, and every bite brings her incomparable satisfaction.
It just so happened that Little Stone had a bit of trouble chewing the pastry, so she took the initiative to help with it, with a slightly naughty smile on her face, "Anyway, I like it, so I'll help you."
As she spoke, she began to chew without any hesitation. Little Stone looked at her with a smile, without any objection.
In addition to the freshly fried corn tortillas, there is also a plate of three pickled and cured foods steaming in the steamer.
The ingredients are well combined, including sliced bacon, fragrant sausages, and unique-flavored pig blood tofu. It looks very tempting in red and white.
Served with a small dish of pickles, it is light and refreshing, and the dinner is perfect.
"Tonight's food is pretty good."
Zhao Chunhua looked at the dishes on the table and talked to herself, then nodded with satisfaction.
In comparison, Xiao Shitou’s food requirements are not complicated. He prefers simple combinations - he feels extremely satisfied with just a piece of corn tortilla and a bowl of warm rice soup.
I saw him chewing the soft and glutinous corn tortilla carefully, drinking a sip of the warm and smooth rice soup, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth. The whole room was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Chunhua habitually brought a basin of warm water for the whole family to soak their feet to help relieve the day's fatigue.
Especially Xiao Shitou's little feet, which are always covered with mud after running all day, also need to be thoroughly cleaned.
Before going to bed, hold a hot water bottle filled with hot water and get into bed.
As the temperature gradually seeps into the body, the whole person feels warm and even the thoughts become relaxed and comfortable.
"Well, this kind of life is indeed the most comfortable."
She murmured with her eyes closed, then slowly fell asleep.
…
The next day, before dawn, Zhao Chunhua was already busy in the kitchen.
First, he prepared a nutritious breakfast and fed Little Stone. Then he packed up the basket and hoe, took the little guy's hand and happily set out to the vegetable field.
Today's work goal is very clear: to dig up all the remaining unharvested radishes.
Because she knows that the radishes that have experienced frost in winter are in their best condition at this moment. They are not only sweet and juicy, but also fresh and tender.
If you delay harvesting, when spring comes, the radish will grow new sprouts, which will absorb a lot of water. The originally firm and plump roots will become dry or even hollow, and the taste will be greatly reduced.
Several crops were planted on this land. Some areas grew plump white radishes, while others grew broad, green-leafed cabbages.
