Chapter 31 Chive Box
After thinking about Zhou Sinian's treatment plan, Mingdai planned to go to bed.
Before leaving, I helped Zhou Sinian make the bed.
The marching blanket was warmed by the heated kang and placed on the mattress with the bottom of the quilt tucked in. The newly arrived military coat was also put on top of it, and he was told to fill the saline bottle with water later and not to pick the bottle cap again.
Seeing that he liked the emergency light very much, I didn't take it away. I just taught him how to use it and told him not to waste electricity, then I yawned and left with my things.
After a busy day, she was tired.
At night, after washing up, Zhou Sinian put the salt water bottles in the quilt, one under his feet and one next to his pillow.
Before getting into bed, he got up and walked to the kang cabinet, looked at the new guy, and opened the small cabinet where food was kept.
After looking at it for a while, I finally closed it.
He brushed his teeth, but he can't eat after brushing his teeth at night.
He took off all his clothes unhappily, took out the underwear and autumn clothes that Mingdai had just stuffed into his quilt, and put them on. He didn't feel any discomfort, but felt much more at ease.
He shook his feet in the quilt, feeling the relaxation of not having to wear heavy cotton clothes to sleep, feeling the warmth coming from all directions, and gently turned the switch of the emergency light. The whole room fell into a deep sleep.
Mingdai was also lying on the kang, stretching her limbs comfortably. This big kang is simply the greatest invention of mankind!
Looking at the moonlight coming through the small window, Mingdai chuckled. She had never expected that she would adapt to the life here so quickly, as if she had lived this kind of life before.
In just a few days, she was infected by the poverty and confusion of this special era.
Be thankful that you have your own space and that you have not come here from a penniless background.
After a while, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Separated by a wall, feeling the long breathing on the other side, Zhou Sinian blinked his eyes and began to fall asleep.
The next day, Mingdai woke up early in the morning according to her biological clock.
He continued to look for his cell phone, but couldn't find it, so he crawled out of the quilt in a crooked manner.
Looking at the dark roof, I realized the reality.
Touching the warm kang surface, she took the clothes on the head of the kang and put them on.
The clothes were dried overnight and were still warm and very comfortable to wear.
When I came outside, the whole yard was indeed very clean, and smoke was coming out of the chimney. Zhou Sinian was squatting in the yard, not knowing what he was looking at.
Mingdai didn't call him and went to the kitchen by herself.
Having hot water ready to use early in the morning is a very happy thing in the winter.
After washing up, Mingdai took out the two bags that Liu Laifu brought yesterday.
A bag of vegetables, mainly cabbage and radish. There was nothing else to eat at the time.
What is more special is that there is actually a handful of leeks, which should be the last crop after winter.
I know what to eat. Today I’m going to eat leek dumplings.
I put all the cabbages and radishes away and thought about digging a vegetable cellar, otherwise they would be frozen and spoiled.
Zhou Sinian, who followed in, heard her mumbling, thought about it, and ran to the back of the kitchen.
This kitchen is very big. Behind the stove are shelves fixed to the wall. They must have been used to store things before. Now Mingdai has cleaned them and uses them to store kitchen utensils.
There is a large open space behind the shelf, which Mingdai had not noticed before. Now when Zhou Sinian went over and opened it, he discovered that there was a cellar inside.
To stop Zhou Sinian from going down directly, she lit a wooden stick and threw it down.
Seeing that the fire was not extinguished immediately, he climbed down the ladder.
When we got downstairs, we found an empty cellar. It smelled a bit strong as no one had been in it for a long time, but it was very practical as we didn't have to dig a vegetable cellar.
She also discovered that there was an ice cellar inside the cellar. Although it didn't look big, it could store a lot of ice, which was a pleasant surprise.
After opening the cellar ventilation door, Mingdai asked Zhou Sinian to pour another bag of things on the table.
Half a bag of various dried vegetables, a bag of red dates, a bag of walnuts, a bag of pine nuts, a bag of peanuts and a bag of melon seeds.
The quantity is not large, but it is wrapped with oil paper with great care, showing great thought.
Put the things away and make a note of your thoughts.
She asked Zhou Sinian to pick the leeks while she spread the egg flowers on the small stove.
Two eggs fried in the oil, and Mingdai threw the eggshells into the stove, thinking about how they could raise two chickens.
This way she can have an excuse to eat eggs. Although she can also say that she bought them, it is not good to buy them often, which does not fit her pitiful personality.
As for being discovered by Zhou Sinian, his memory was confused at that time, so he probably wouldn't remember it. Even if he remembered, he would think he was hallucinating again.
Zhou Sinian had already washed the leeks and taken them out.
Looking at the neatly arranged leeks, Mingdai looked at him with admiration. His body was not in good condition either. It was better not to touch cold water in winter.
Chop the chives, put them in an enamel bowl, pour in the fried egg pieces, five-spice powder, salt and sesame oil, and stir.
Take out the dough that rose yesterday, put it on the chopping board, cover it with a layer of flour, knead it a few times to expel the gas.
Pinch the dough into even-sized pieces and roll them out with a rolling pin.
Scoop up a spoonful of filling and fill it in, fold it in half, pinch out the edges, and a dumpling base is ready.
Zhou Sinian watched it once and then tried to make it.
Mingdai looked at them. The first one was weird, the second one was pretty good, and the third one was ready to be trained.
I can’t afford to offend you! I can’t afford to offend you!
Another day of being defeated by talent.
Ming Dai lamented the unfairness of the Creator while rolling all the ingredients into dough.
She left it for Zhou Sinian to wrap. She turned up the heat on the stove and put the dumpling dough into the oil pan used to fry the eggs.
Stick it all over the bottom of the pot and wait for it to expand.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took out the rice that Zhou Sinian had received, scooped out a spoonful, washed it clean in the ladle, and put it into the pot to cook.
Turn the chive box on the stove over, its golden and glittering appearance is very tempting.
Zhou Sinian wrapped all the dumplings and admired his masterpiece.
Mingdai went over to take a look and saw that he had made great progress and no longer looked like a novice.
The first batch of chive dumplings came out of the pot. Mingdai scooped them into a small basket one by one. They looked chubby and cute.
Zhou Sinian had already put the rest into the pot. Seeing him eager to try, Mingdai handed him the spatula.
He turned around and picked up a carrot, washed off the dirt on the surface, and cut it into thin strips on the chopping board.
Add some vinegar, sprinkle with salt and sesame oil, stir a few times, and a pickled radish dish is ready.
Lift the lid of the stove and you can see the rice blooming as it tumbles.
Pour out the rice soup and put the shredded radish on the table. Zhou Sinian was also making the last pot of leek dumplings.
A few minutes later, the two of them had their breakfast by eating leek dumplings, slurping hot porridge, and eating crisp shredded radish.
Not a single leek box was left, all the porridge was drunk, and Zhou Sinian also ate up all the pickled radish. It was another satisfying meal.
Zhou Sinian washed the dishes as usual. Mingdai went to the room to tie her hair into two small braids again, and then went to work with Zhou Sinian who had finished his work.
