Old Qiu's house is filled with various jars and pots of various sizes.
Song Jinxiu had to be very careful when entering his house, for fear of accidentally bumping into something, which would result in a series of falls.
I ordered two large water tanks to be placed in the kitchen and the yard, as well as a pickle tank.
I also bought two clay pots so I can make soup in the future. I can also use a stove in the house to cook in the winter.
Large jars for storing grain are also needed.
Everything Song Jinxiu wanted was available. She paid the money and told Lao Qiu to have the goods delivered to her door, then left.
"Auntie, thank you for accompanying me these times." Song Jinxiu thanked the village chief's wife.
"What's the big deal? There's nothing to do at home anyway, so I might as well go out for a walk." The village chief's wife waved her hand and said.
"Hehe. You guys are such nice people." Song Jinxiu sighed.
Although I haven't met many people yet, I get along well with everyone.
The two of them walked back to the village chief's house while chatting and laughing. She still had to take the vegetables home.
There is no one at home. The village chief must have gone out.
"Auntie, I'll bring this basket back to you later!" Song Jinxiu said as she picked up the basket of vegetables.
"No need, I see you have nothing at home. Your uncle can weave this basket himself, and there are plenty of them at home. Just use it to carry things!" said the aunt.
"Wow! The village chief is amazing!" Song Jinxiu praised. "This basket is really well woven."
"It's nothing special. Most of the men in the village can weave. There is a bamboo forest on the mountain and the materials are ready. If you want anything else later, you can ask your uncle to make a few more for you." said the village chief's wife.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'll go back first. I'll come over and chat with you when I have time."
Although I really want it, I can't ask for it. It's not right to take this and that all day long.
Since there are still people in the village who can make it, it will be much easier to do it in the future. I can buy it myself! Hehehehe!
When I got home, I found that Niu Wazi was gone. He must have woken up and gone out to play.
Oops. I forgot to ask the village chief Niu Wazi's name again. Never mind. I'll ask next time.
I looked at the time and it was already past four in the afternoon.
It's time to prepare dinner. We agreed to have a big meal at noon.
Take out a grass carp and prepare to braise it. Grass carp has few bones and tastes better when braised. Then eat a roast duck.
And the shrimps will be difficult to eat in a few days if you don’t eat them now!
Finally, I stir-fried some meat. There happened to be some non-spicy peppers in the basket, so children could eat it.
The last dish is definitely stir-fried bok choy. It’s a good combination of meat and vegetables.
Prepare all the ingredients and steam the rice first.
First put half a pot of water to boil, then wash the rice and pour it in. Cook until the rice is about 70% cooked, then take it out and steam it on the grate.
The rice soup below can still be drunk later.
I also need to ask a carpenter to help build a cabinet for the kitchen, otherwise there will be no place to put the seasonings. There will also be no place to put the dishes and chopsticks.
It just so happens that he hasn’t received his previous reward yet, and he has to go out soon.
Song Jinxiu was diligently chopping meat and vegetables, preparing to show off her cooking skills tonight and impress the little kid at home with her superb cooking skills.
Fry the fish first; it will take longer to cook.
Brush the pan, heat the oil and put the fish in.
"Sizzle! Sizzle..."
"What the hell!!" Song Jinxiu jumped three feet high and retreated directly to the door.
The fish should be covered with water, and the oil should fly all over the place after being put into the pot.
Cover your face with the blanket. You can't ruin your face full of collagen.
I quickly flipped the fish over after finding the right spot. There was another crackling sound!
When Niu Wazi returned home, he saw a magical scene.
The woman held the blanket in front of her body, and would go over to stir the contents of the pot from time to time, then retreat far away.
[Is this woman really cooking?] The little head was filled with big doubts.
Feeling it was almost done, Song Jinxiu added half a bucket of water and then added various seasonings.
Pour in ginger, garlic, soy sauce, etc. and let it cook slowly until the flavor is absorbed. Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onions and it's done.
While waiting, Song Jinxiu wiped the edges of the stove, which was covered in grease.
Then he turned around and saw Niu Wazi's back running away.
"This kid is still running outside when it's time for dinner." But she didn't care.
Children like to run outside, and the food here is not ready yet.
After cooking for a while, Song Jinxiu served the fish, thinking it was tasty and the soup had almost dried up.
Okay, even though the fish is a bit ugly, it's still quite fragrant. Sprinkle it with chopped green onions, and it's not that ugly after all.
Song Jinxiu admired herself for a moment and continued to make the next dish!
When it was time to stir-fry the vegetables, Niu Wazi came back!
"You're amazing! You can calculate time even more accurately than I can." Song Jinxiu shouted at him. "Hurry up and wash your hands. Let's get ready for dinner."
Niu Wazi washed his hands obediently and sat at the table.
"Come here and take the bowl out." Song Jinxiu called from the kitchen.
There are only two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, so there's no need to worry about him breaking them.
Niu Wazi walked into the kitchen, took out the dishes and set them aside.
Song Jinxiu's last dish was also out of the pot.
All the dishes were brought out, and a large pot of rice was also served. It was my first time steaming rice, so I didn’t control it well and steamed two large pots.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Song Jinxiu was filled with emotion.
"Today is our first meal in our new home. Lunch doesn't count! We're a family from now on."
Song Jinxiu looked at the new brother in front of her. This was the first time she had a younger brother in her two lifetimes.
He didn't say anything, just looked at himself quietly.
"Don't worry, from now on, every time I eat a bite of meat, you will have a sip of soup." Song Jinxiu said proudly.
"Eat, eat! It won't taste good if it gets cold!" What I was saying was really boring. It would be better to just eat.
After serving them a bowl of rice, Song Jinxiu started eating, adding a piece of meat for Niu Wazi.
Niu Wazi started eating only after seeing her pick up her chopsticks.
"By the way, can you spit out fish bones? This fish is said to be boneless, but it actually does have some." Song Jinxiu suddenly remembered and asked.
Niu Wazi looked at the fish and nodded.
In the past, when there was no other meat to eat, fish was a common food, because there were fish in the rivers in the mountains.
Fish is easier to catch than other game.
"I find that you are really capable! You can do everything. That's great!" Song Jinxiu praised.
This brother is really a relief!
"Is the food I cook delicious? Do you have any favorite dishes?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"If there is a dish you like, just tell me. Although I can't cook every dish, I can cook most everyday dishes." Song Jinxiu continued to brag.
In fact, she only knows how to cook simple home-cooked meals. In her previous life, she had no money, no ingredients, and no place to cook. In this life, she has Aunt Yang, but the original owner has never cooked.
Speaking of Aunt Yang, I really miss her a little. I wonder how she is doing now.
The two ate in silence, with Song Jinxiu occasionally speaking.
