Chapter 85 Daily Life
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which means the New Year will be over after today. Lu Xiaoxiao doesn't know whether spring ploughing will start from tomorrow. It seems that she needs to go to the captain's house to ask about the situation.
After leaving the space, Lu Xiaoxiao cleaned the house and reheated the two kangs. She looked at the time and it was a little after nine in the morning, so she planned to make a big pot of bone soup, which she could eat with steamed buns later if she was busy.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out five chopped shanks from the space, blanched them to remove the blood, washed them clean, then put them back into the pot and stewed them with water.
She thought that it would take more than an hour to stew the pork ribs, so she could put a steamer on the pot to steam some vegetables, which would save time and effort.
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoxiao took out five pounds of pork belly and five pounds of spare ribs from the space. She also took out two chickens, planning to make steamed pork with rice flour, spare ribs with fermented black beans, and steamed chicken.
It took her half an hour to process all the ingredients, then she covered them with plastic wrap, put them in the steamer, covered it with a lid, and started steaming.
While the food was being steamed, Lu Xiaoxiao peeled three large radishes and cut them into pieces. Then she went into the space and got twenty kilograms of flour. Once the soup was ready, she could start steaming the buns.
An hour passed and all the steamed dishes were cooked, so Lu Xiaoxiao took the steamer down. Fortunately, her strength had increased due to practice, otherwise she would not have been able to lift it.
After taking the steamer down, she poured all the chopped radishes into the soup, covered it with the lid and cooked it for fifteen minutes.
As the dishes in the steamer were just out of the pot, she left half a chicken and put all the other dishes into the space, and then she took out the dough that had been fermented in the space.
Lu Xiaoxiao had just cut the steamed buns and placed them on the steamer. The radish and pork bone soup in the pot was ready. She first took out a bowl with a bowl of soup and a few pieces of radish, and then put the rest in a bucket and put it into the space.
Lu Xiaoxiao washed the pot, added water and put in fifty eggs. Then she put the steamer on the pot and started steaming the buns.
She sat on the kang and rested for a while, then looked at the half steamed chicken and a bowl of radish and pork ribs soup on the table. She felt that it would be too greasy to eat like this, so she took out a cucumber and a steamed bun to eat together.
After lunch, the first pot of steamed buns was ready. After she put the eggs and steamed buns into the space, she added water to the pot, put in twenty glutinous corns, and then put the steamer with the steamed buns on the pot to continue steaming.
After several hours of hard work, she finally steamed more than 300 steamed buns, boiled 100 eggs and 60 corns, which were enough for her to eat for a while.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the time and saw that it was already past two in the afternoon. She went into the space, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and walked towards the captain's house carrying a pound of fruit candy.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the captain's house, she saw that all the doors were closed, so she knocked on the yard door with her hand, and then she heard Aunt Cauliflower's voice asking who it was.
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao said the name, and then she saw Aunt Caihua come out of the main room and open the door.
When Lu Xiaoxiao entered the house, she saw the captain and his family sitting in the house chatting. Well, during the New Year period, everyone has nothing to do, so usually the whole family will get together.
After Lu Xiaoxiao handed the candy in her hand to Aunt Caihua, Sister Xiaofeng pulled her to sit next to her.
Aunt Cauliflower opened the brown paper and saw fruit candy inside. She immediately wanted to wrap the paper again, but the children in the house also saw the candy, so they immediately surrounded Aunt Cauliflower and kept asking their grandmother for candy.
When Aunt Cauliflower saw her grandchildren like this, she really wanted to give them the food, but it was too expensive and she couldn't accept it, so she rewrapped it and prepared to hand it back to Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao said, “Aunt, this is what I gave them to sweeten their mouths. If you don’t accept it, I will be unhappy.”
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Caihua looked at a group of grandchildren who were asking for candy. She had no choice but to accept the candy. Then she opened the brown paper again and gave each child two candies. She wrapped the rest and put them in the kang cabinet.
