Su Qingxue's face turned red instantly. He was thick-skinned, but she was not. After all, there were other people around.
He quickly pulled his hand out with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Be serious, I'm fine, it's not a lot of work, I finished it this morning."
Seeing that he seemed to be about to say something else, she quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, go work in the backyard. I'll go help Sun Rui cook."
Zhou Huaian looked at his wife with a look that said, "Don't talk, just listen to me." He felt so much pity for her.
While his wife wasn't paying attention, he kissed her hard on the face, and she stopped pestering him.
"I'll do as you say. Don't make it complicated. Just cook it in a big pot. Add some cornmeal and make corn steamed bread. It's also delicious."
Sun Rui nodded while listening, "Okay, it's quite simple, I can do it quickly by myself, sister-in-law, just look after the two children, you don't need to come to the kitchen to help."
In a flash, Sun Rui had already figured out what to stew in the big pot.
Now is the time when vegetables are off the shelves in large quantities. It will be absolutely delicious if you stew various vegetables such as beans, eggplants, potatoes, bones and meat together, add some vermicelli, and then put cornmeal steamed bread on top.
"It's okay. I'll help you wash the vegetables. Check which vegetables need to be washed and I'll wash them for you. The two kids will watch over them and won't make too much noise."
After Su Qingxue finished speaking, she took out the moxa sticks she had made. As the sky got darker, the mosquitoes hiding in the corners flew out. The two children had very delicate skin and were particularly attractive to mosquitoes, so they had to order more moxa sticks every day.
There is a big basket of mugwort sticks in the space. The weather is getting cold soon. Although a lot of them are usually used, it will definitely be enough for this year.
Sun Rui went straight to the storage room and found the wild boar bones, picking out the big bones with a lot of meat on them. He planned to stew the big bones first, and when they were almost stewed, he would add potatoes, beans, eggplants and the like.
So there was no rush to wash the vegetables. "Sister-in-law, don't worry. It's time to clean up the yard, right? I'll cook the food, you clean up the rest!"
Sun Rui, a grown man, digested his meals very quickly and felt hungry before the next meal. Looking at the half-dried sweet potatoes, he felt particularly hungry and directly put one into his mouth. The more he ate, the more delicious it became, with a sweet taste.
"My sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good. It's so delicious. The color looks so beautiful. It should be just right now after being dried in the sun. Now is the best time to eat it. If it is dried any longer, it will be too dry and not so delicious."
Su Qingxue took out two large wicker baskets from the room and prepared to put them away.
"I also think they taste best this way, and are best for children to use as teeth, so I'm going to put them away.
I thought there were a lot of sweet potatoes when they were steamed, but after they were dried, there were fewer left. You seem to like them, so why don’t you take some over to your place? If dried sweet potatoes weren’t cheap, I’d really like you to take some and send them to your parents.”
I took another small backpack, and when it was full, it probably weighed about ten kilograms.
"When you go back, take this small basket with you. When you finish eating, come back here to get more. I'm worried that you may not store them properly and they are not dried well. It would be bad if they get moldy."
Sun Rui didn't hesitate and accepted it directly. "Thank you, sister-in-law, for thinking of my parents. They also have sweet potatoes. If they want to eat them, ask them to make them themselves. There's no need to spend so much money on postage just to send some worthless dried sweet potatoes."
He was too embarrassed to say it out loud. If others knew about it, they would definitely say that they were crazy.
After all, I don’t know how many dried sweet potatoes I can buy with the money from mailing.
Sun Rui ate two in a row and finally stopped eating when he felt less hungry.
But you can't eat too much, if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat at night.
It has been a long time since he had a big pot of stew, so he needs to eat more.
Go buy a goose one day and stew it in a pot. It will be delicious!
Ordinary iron pot stews cannot show his cooking skills. Only difficult dishes can show his ability.
When Su Qingxue saw Sun Rui enter the kitchen, she concentrated on picking out dried sweet potatoes.
The two children were running around, and I was worried that they might get bumped into something, because things outside were not as tightly wrapped up as inside the house.
It would be better to give each of them a dried sweet potato and let them slowly grind the eight little teeth in their mouths with it, so that they will not make a fuss and rebel after they have something to do.
After being hung outside for so many days, there was bound to be some dirt on them, so she looked at each one very carefully.
I feel it is quite time-consuming. I think I should cover it with a layer of gauze when drying it next time, so I don't have to worry about dirt being blown by the wind on it.
I carefully picked out a basket of particularly soft and tender ones. I was going to keep them for my two children, so I picked them particularly carefully.
As for the rest, I took a quick look and found that the surface was quite clean, so I put it away very neatly.
It takes too much time to pick it out, and it doesn’t matter if adults eat it and it goes into their stomachs.
I will temporarily put them in the storage room on the left, thinking that they must be very hot after being exposed to the sun for a day, so I will put them away after the heat has dissipated.
She was worried that if she put it in the space because it was too hot, she would take it out and eat it next time. If it was too hot, she would easily get diarrhea.
I took the two children into the living room and went to the kitchen to take a look. Large bones were already stewing in the pot and I could smell the fragrance.
The vegetables had been washed, and Sun Rui didn't seem busy, so Su Qingxue simply walked towards the backyard.
I can only see him in the morning and evening every day, and I miss him a little bit.
I feel like the time we spend together every night is not enough. I really hope that both of us don’t have to go to work so we can spend every day together.
Looking at the hundreds of boxes of good things in the space, I feel confident saying this.
It's a pity that if you don't do anything, it's easy for a person to become decadent. She doesn't want a decadent person.
"Wife, why are you here? Go back, you are not needed here, I will be done in a moment."
Su Qingxue looked at the soil he had turned over. It would only take a while, not two.
Forget it. As a man who wants to be strong all his life, I'd better not expose him.
"It's okay, just do it. I'll go check on those chickens. Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhi chased those chickens for a long time this morning. I'll go see if they laid eggs. We haven't picked up any eggs yet."
Su Qingxue still held high hopes. After all, she was supposed to give birth today. Although she tried to catch the baby in the morning, the egg in her belly would have been born long ago, and it might be gone tomorrow.
I grabbed a handful of sweet potato vine leaves that were drying nearby and threw them into the small fence.
Although eating too much green leafy vegetables can easily cause diarrhea, you can just go to the river and pick up some more snails for them to eat tomorrow.
