After seeing Master Zhao off, Su Qingxue took a look at the place Master Zhao had chosen. It was right behind the kitchen, next to the vegetable garden, and it was where she had dug the pit to smoke the meat last time.
Fortunately, it is a long distance away from the toilet, and it should be painted with cement in the future, so there is no need to worry too much. It is also a long distance away from the well in front, so this location is indeed very good.
You can go directly to the backyard from the side of the kitchen, and it is also very convenient if you want to go to the cellar to get something. However, some space in the vegetable garden must be cleared in advance, so it will take up some space.
The children were very noisy. She originally wanted to coax them to play and then pull out all the vegetables that needed to be cleared out by herself. Unfortunately, they played for a long time in the morning and were unwilling to separate in the afternoon. They clung to Su Qingxue very much.
With a quick glance, I saw a big pumpkin placed in the corner of the kitchen. Most of the edible things in the house were placed there, and most of the things outside were stored in the space. Seeing the big pumpkin, I thought of the large piles of them in the space.
Suddenly I became interested and prepared to steam some pumpkin buns for them. They are sweet and they should like them very much. It is mid-afternoon now and the wontons they had at noon should have been digested. There is still a long time before dinner, so eating some buns to fill their stomachs is just right.
Peel the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, steam it in a pot, then pour it into the flour and mix it with the flour. Wait until the whole dough turns yellow before taking it out.
Worried that it would not be sweet enough when eaten, Su Qingxue specially added some white sugar. The final product did not disappoint her. It was not too sweet to be cloying, nor too bland. It was indeed delicious.
The buns were as big as a baby’s fist. After Su Qingxue steamed them herself, she couldn’t help but eat two just by smelling the fragrance, let alone the children.
As soon as the food was brought out and they smelled it, they couldn't wait to run over. Unfortunately, they were small, and no matter how much they liked it, they couldn't eat much. Two big ones were okay, but after eating two and three small ones, they would be full after eating just one.
After that, Su Qingxue had to find some hawthorns for them to make tea to drink, as she was worried that they would not be able to digest it well.
When I was looking for hawthorns to make tea, I suddenly remembered that I didn't have much hawthorns in stock. There were only a few dozen or a hundred kilograms in the space. Compared with other fruits that weighed thousands of kilograms, it was indeed less.
Then he used the supernatural power that he had not used today on the hawthorn seeds he had just peeled.
I didn’t expect that there would be so many hawthorns. The small tree was only about 1.5 meters tall, but the hawthorns on it were so densely packed. I harvested them all, and the total weight was more than 100 kilograms.
This made Su Qingxue reluctant to suck its vitality away. Besides, the hawthorn that she ripened herself was not as sour as ordinary hawthorns, but sweet. It was quite good to eat normally, so she was reluctant to do so.
Since he couldn't bear to part with it, he might as well keep it. He went to the backyard when the children weren't paying attention, and after choosing for a long time, he finally chose the place behind the room where he slept. He dug a big hole and buried the tree.
The unwanted internal organs and various dirt in the space are also stuffed into it, and then filled with soil. This can be regarded as fertilizing the small tree.
Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui came back from get off work, but they didn't go to the backyard on purpose. At first, they didn't notice that there was a new sapling.
It was Su Qingxue who talked to them and asked someone to dig a cellar and an ice cellar. She had already chosen a location and pointed it out to them. When they went to see it, they discovered the hawthorn tree.
However, the two grown men did not pay much attention to such a trivial matter. They just thought that Su Qingxue had seen and dug up the wild fruit saplings somewhere.
After all, it wasn’t the first time he had planted them, and Zhou Huaian knew that his wife liked these, so he just glanced at them and didn’t pay much attention to them.
It is normal to plant a few trees in most yards. There are several jujube trees planted in front of the two rows of rooms in the front yard. They are now bearing fruits, but they are not yet fully red. If you want to pick them, you have to wait until the frost falls.
Early the next morning, Master Zhao and his men arrived with several ox carts filled with bricks, cement and other things.
Without saying much, he just said hello and asked people to start working directly, and he was very fast.
Su Qingxue hurried to boil hot water for them. At least she had to make tea for them. She placed a separate table in the yard and put boiled water, tea leaves, teapots, cups and other things on it. If they were thirsty, they could drink it themselves.
Then I started thinking about what to cook for them at noon?
Su Qingxue let her two sons and three daughters play in the room. She went to the river by herself, wandered around there, and then took out four fish from the space, which weighed about thirteen or fourteen pounds. She stewed the fish for them at noon, and the staple food was steamed buns made of two grams of flour.
I'm worried that if I do too well, it will be too conspicuous. It's not that I can't eat rice and white flour. I want to be more low-key, so I think it's better to eat two-grain flour.
In addition to adding various vegetables to the stewed fish, I also made a soup with dried seafood. Then I took out two pieces of offal from the space and braised a pot of it. I also put pig's trotters, pig's head and face in the pot. I guess this is a good meal.
Things like offal can be eaten for two more days and will not go bad as long as they are soaked in brine.
Master Zhao and his friends were particularly satisfied with the lunch. After all, there was fish and meat. Although the meat was just some leftovers, it was a rare good thing for them. Not to mention that Su Qingxue cooked it so deliciously, they really wouldn't trade it for any other good meat.
