It's called a cabinet, but it's actually just a wooden shelf. Song Jinxiu chose a shelf with doors on the top two layers.
"Okay, I'll send it to you later." said the carpenter.
"Thank you, uncle." Song Jinxiu put the money under the things and went home with Niu Wazi.
"How old were you when you started going up the mountain? Do you usually go up the mountain by yourself?
"Have you ever seen a tiger? Has anyone in the village ever killed one?" Song Jinxiu asked curiously.
"Should we bring a knife up the mountain? I happen to have an axe at home.
"Oh, right. Shouldn't we chop some firewood for the winter? Is it cold here in winter?" Song Jinxiu said whatever came to her mind.
I hope Niu Wazi can respond to her.
She had seen people teaching children to speak in this way, by having them talk and talk.
In the end, the two of them didn't go up the mountain because Aunt Jinhua asked her son to bring some vegetables.
"Brother Xiaoniu?" Song Jinxiu called out tentatively when she saw a man pushing a cart of vegetables parked in front of her house.
"Hey! Sister Song, this is the food my mother asked me to give you. Let me put it in the cellar for you." Brother Xiaoniu said, pointing to the food on the cart.
There is a cellar under the utility room near the siblings' rooms, which is used to store fruits and vegetables for the winter.
"Okay. Thank you, Brother Xiaoniu. Come in." Song Jinxiu quickly walked over and opened the door.
Brother Xiaoniu should also be someone who participated in the construction of the house. He pushed the cart directly to the door of the utility room, then lowered the ladder and moved the vegetables down.
The cellar has been treated before and can now be used directly
The majority of the vegetables are radish and cabbage, and there are also flat cabbage, kohlrabi, and mustard greens. There are quite a lot of varieties.
Song Jinxiu also saw taro. It was soft and sticky, and she really liked it.
There wasn't much stuff, so we moved it all in quickly.
Isn't this amount of vegetables enough to last the whole winter? Song Jinxiu was a little worried.
"You can eat these vegetables first. I'll send you the rest later. The vegetables can still grow in the field for a while. If you put them in the cellar too early, they might go bad." Brother Niu said after moving the vegetables.
"These are also given to you by my mother." Brother Xiaoniu took down another sack from the cart.
"There are some mountain products in there. My mother said she would bring some over for you if you like them."
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoniu, and thank Aunt Jinhua for me." Song Jinxiu said happily.
"You're welcome." Xiao Niu scratched his head and said. This girl is too polite.
"I'll come over this afternoon to help you build a donkey shed. Do you also need a doghouse? Can it be right next to the donkey shed?"
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Brother Xiaoniu! I was just worrying about how to set it up!" Song Jinxiu expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome. I'll be leaving first." After saying that, he pushed his cart away.
After a while, Lao Qiu also brought someone to deliver the water tank she wanted.
The two of them put the water tank away and left.
It also comes with two curtains and a gourd ladle. It's really thoughtful.
There are also two jars for storing grain. They should also be called vats!
Song Jinxiu cleaned the two water tanks and then prepared to fetch water.
The well mouth was covered with wooden boards, which had to be removed first.
Then turn the windlass and slowly lower the bucket until it touches the water surface. Then crank the handle to make the bucket rise and fall, extracting well water.
After shaking it twice, I felt it still had no weight, so I had to increase the strength.
It must have been because of the strong shaking, Song Jinxiu finally filled the bucket!
Then she shook the bucket. It was so heavy! Song Jinxiu tried to lift it but couldn't. She had to pour out some of the water before she could lift it out.
This is too much effort! Song Jinxiu wanted to cry but had no tears.
The water tank is half a person's height, probably about the size of two people hugging it together. How many buckets of water are needed to fill it?
Song Jinxiu felt that life was a bit difficult.
After carrying two buckets of water, she stopped. Her hands ached. She could just secretly draw water from the space and put it into the water tank when she was home. Drawing water from the space wasn't heavy.
This body is delicate and the hands are white, tender and smooth without even a callus.
This was the state she had always dreamed of, and Song Jinxiu was reluctant to ruin it.
The last bucket of water was carried to the kitchen along with the bucket. I was ready to wash the vegetables and cook.
Today I will make braised pork, garlic spare ribs, and stir-fry some green vegetables.
Don’t leave green leafy vegetables, eat them first.
Today, some beans were added to the white rice, making it bean rice. As long as you don’t add too much, the bean rice is actually quite fragrant.
She also steamed a large bowl of brown rice for Xiaobai and Xiaohei. Song Jinxiu was reluctant to give them white rice because she didn't have enough for herself.
Brown rice is not like the refined coarse grains we have today. Its shells are not removed so cleanly, so it is particularly irritating to the throat when eaten.
It is not easy to digest and is not suitable for the two babies. So it is just right for Xiao Hei and the others to eat.
Wash the ribs and drain the water, add cooking wine, soy sauce, minced garlic and a little sweet potato flour, mix well and marinate.
Put it aside and fry it in oil for a while and it will smell delicious!
Cut the pork belly into pieces, put it into a pot with cold water, add cooking wine and ginger, and cook until the foam comes out. Remove from the heat and drain.
Without adding oil to the pan, fry the pork belly over low heat until both sides are golden brown, then remove from the pan and spoon out the excess oil.
Add rock sugar and stir-fry until it turns caramel color. Pour in the pork belly and stir-fry until it turns colored. Pour in two bowls of boiling water.
Add cooking wine, soy sauce, and appropriate amount of star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger slices and garlic slices and simmer for 30 minutes.
If you feel it is not soft enough, cook it for a while longer and then remove it from the pot after the juice is reduced.
Looking at the rosy and fragrant pork belly, Song Jinxiu secretly admired her own cooking skills, which were really amazing.
Pour oil into the pot and when it is 50% to 60% hot, put the ribs into the pot and fry them slowly over low heat.
Fry until 80% to 90% cooked, then remove from the oil. Heat the oil over high heat, then put the ribs in and fry until golden brown. Remove from the oil and set aside.
Drain the excess oil and use it to cook tomorrow.
Leave a little oil in the pan, add minced garlic and stir-fry, then pour the fried ribs in and stir-fry, finally add a little salt and continue to stir-fry.
Stir-fry the fried ribs with minced garlic to make the garlic flavor more flavorful.
The two puppies couldn't wait to circle around the kitchen door.
Niu Wazi was also watching quietly on the side. Ever since Brother Niu brought the vegetables, he had been playing with the two puppies obediently.
There was no noise or disturbance, and people almost ignored the existence of such a child.
"Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, I'm warning you not to enter the kitchen!" Song Jinxiu pointed at the two little ones and warned them.
"Woof woof woof!" The two little ones heard someone calling them and thought that the hostess was calling them. They were about to rush to the kitchen immediately, but were stopped by Niu Wazi, one of them in each hand.
"Woof woof woof." Let me go!
The two puppies barked a few times, but found that their resistance was futile, so they had to continue playing outside listlessly.
"You played with the puppy for a long time today. Remember to pat your body and wash your hands with soap. It's time to eat!" Song Jinxiu said to Niu Wazi.
Niu Wazi obediently went to the basin to wash his hands, made bubbles carefully, and washed his hands clean.
Then he ran to the kitchen and brought out the dishes for the two of them and placed them on the table. Song Jinxiu's dishes were also cooked and served directly to the table.
Looking at the delicious braised pork, Niu Wazi swallowed his saliva, and the two little ones also circled around his feet.
