Spring plowing season has officially begun, and Song Jinxiu is about to start her life as a cook.
At dawn in the morning, Dalinzi came to take the donkey away and brought their rations.
The little brat is eating me out of house and home.
Not to mention eight grown men, more than ten kilograms of brown rice for a meal is no problem.
"I first took ten kilograms of brown rice, ten kilograms of beans and a bag of rice. You just need to mix them in half and cook them. There is also a bag of cornmeal for breakfast, which you can mix with some white flour. Bring some more in a few days." Dalinzi said.
"Okay, I'll send it to the field for you when it's done." Song Jinxiu responded happily. It was something they had agreed on.
"No need, I'll come and get it. Just put it aside when you're done." said Dalinzi.
"That's fine." The two of them agreed on the approximate time, and Dalinzi left.
The morning breeze was cool, but Dalinzi's heart was burning.
(I don’t know if anyone will criticize me for eating too lavishly. But in fact, a few years ago, farmers basically had their own food.
It was not yet the time of the people's commune, and we had not yet entered the era of bills.
As long as there is a good harvest and I don't sell the grain I have, eating a few meals of white rice is not a big deal.
Spring plowing and autumn harvest are both hard work, so you must eat well.
I've mentioned this before: they've already defeated the Japanese, so they're not short of money, so it makes sense for them not to sell grain.)
Song Jinxiu sorted the items and put them aside. She'd make a pot of thicker sweet potato porridge this morning. She'd make the corn pancakes tomorrow, as she didn't have enough time today.
After the porridge was cooked, it was filled into two large buckets and the lids were fastened. Yes, buckets.
They brought four large buckets to hold food because there would be dishes for lunch.
I also fried a jar of pickles with a little lard and gave it to them to eat with the porridge.
After a while, Dalinzi came over with a carrying pole and took the porridge away.
When Dalinzi went to pick up the porridge, the men in the fields were talking about it.
"Is it really that delicious? You tricked me into coming here. Let me tell you, if it's not as delicious as Aunt Zhou's, you'll just have to wait to become a dead monkey." A sturdy man said to the monkey.
He was originally going to join Aunt Zhou's group, but was tricked by Monkey into coming here.
"Why would I lie to you! Didn't I help chop wood with Dalinzi last time? I ate it for a few days, and the taste was amazing!
It caused me pain for more than half a month. It was really hard to swallow the food I cooked myself. "The monkey said
A group of people were expectantly waiting for Dalinzi's return.
Song Jinxiu didn't know that she had quietly become famous in the village.
He is famous among the men for his good cooking skills, but many people are skeptical because they have never eaten it.
After all, Song Jinxiu looked like she had never done any work before, so it was hard to believe that she could be a good cook.
But everyone has some talent, maybe he just cooks delicious food? So no one refuted it.
Also, among a group of children, Song Jinxiu was famous for having mental problems.
The naughty kid ABC is hiding his merits and fame. Please call me Lei Feng, you’re welcome!
However, the parties involved are unaware of this.
After Song Jinxiu had breakfast, she started preparing lunch. It was her first time cooking for so many people and she didn’t know how long it would take, so it would be better to prepare it in advance.
Today's the first day of work, so shouldn't I eat something good? So, let's put the brown rice aside for lunch and have some bean rice!
It just so happened that they brought over some bacon, and they stewed potatoes and cabbage with the bacon.
Cooking for a large group of people is very laborious and requires a lot of oil. The most convenient way is to stew everything in one big pot.
Liu Ankang went to the fields with them early in the morning. He was responsible for cooking and he followed behind to pick up stones.
Liu Ankang was filled with enthusiasm; this was the first time he had his own land. It was a different feeling to own something.
Which child can own a piece of land? Does this mean that I am an adult too?
Song Jinxiu first put a basin of water and put the cut cabbage heads in to soak.
The vegetables are all grown at home, not as clean as those bought in later generations.
Some dirt is difficult to clean after it dries on the surface. Soaking the dirt for a while will make it much easier to clean!
Peel the potatoes clean, cut into pieces and soak in a bowl for later use.
Song Jinxiu cut a whole basin of potato cubes!
Next was washing the vegetables. The water in early spring was still a little cold, so Song Jinxiu poured some hot water in. Girls should take good care of themselves. Otherwise...
Yes, I’m fifteen, why haven’t I had my period yet?
Is there something wrong?
Periods are truly a magical thing. When they come, it's a worry; when they don't, it's even more worrying.
But it may also be that I came too late, so let's talk about it later.
Since she hasn't come yet, she should take better care of herself. Song Jinxiu poured more hot water.
I don’t want to experience that excruciating pain again.
Although I have never experienced it before, I have heard too many people talk about it.
I washed it three times before I felt the vegetables were clean.
I cut two more buckets of vegetables.
However, the vegetables will shrink, and once cooked, they will only fill about a bucket.
The rice is steamed in the pot, and the vegetables are cooked in about the same time.
"Why are you back?" Song Jinxiu heard someone's voice and turned around to see that it seemed to be Liu Ankang.
"Bring the bucket back!" Liu Ankang said as he took the bucket aside. He cleaned it with a loofah, as he would need it later.
"Are you tired in the morning? You can eat at home at noon and in the evening. Bring two buckets of rice over, and you have to eat three bowls." Song Jinxiu said.
"Got it!" Liu Ankang cleaned the bucket in a short while.
