When Xiaoyu came back with a basket of green grass, Song Yuehua was refining lard.
The whole room was filled with the aroma of lard. Xiaoyu swallowed and looked eagerly at the oil pot.
"Open your mouth."
Song Yuehua picked up a piece of oil residue and put it into Xiaoyu's mouth.
Xiaoyu bit the hot oil residue with her teeth, blew on it with her hand, and took a light bite. The oil burst out, and it was crispy and crunchy, and her mouth was immediately filled with fragrance.
"Sister, it turns out that oil residue is so delicious!"
Xiaoyu said sincerely while biting the oil residue carefully.
Song Yuehua paused.
Yes, here oil residue is considered a delicious food. In the old Song family, the first and second wives didn’t have enough to share, so how could the third wife get it?
Thinking of this, Song Yuehua took out five coins from her bosom and handed them to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, go to the village and buy some green peppers and some vegetables. We will cook dinner tonight."
Xiaoyu took the copper coin and said, "Grandma Wang grows a lot of vegetables. I'll go to her house to buy some."
Song Yuehua nodded and took the bowl to squeeze the goat's milk.
Before cooking, I have to feed the two little ones first.
After squeezing out a large bowl of goat's milk, Song Yuehua thought that it should be enough for her to eat. After thinking about it, she squeezed out another half bowl, poured it into the jar, added almonds and simmered it over low heat.
The smell of milk soon wafted out. Song Yuehua tasted it and found it had no smell of mutton but a strong milky flavor.
It was the first time for the two little kids to drink milk. The eldest one ate whatever he was fed and he enjoyed it the more he ate. The youngest one resisted at first, but gradually accepted it.
After they finished drinking milk and burped the two little ones, Song Yuehua was able to feel at ease to do other things.
The porridge we drank yesterday was cooked by Xiaoyu. This was the first time Song Yuehua cooked after moving in. She washed the milk pot, put half white rice and half corn in it, and slowly cooked it on the fire, stirring it from time to time to prevent the pot from getting stuck.
When Xiaoyu came back, she brought a basket full of vegetables with two eggs on top, and three cents left. "Granny Wang took two cents and gave me two eggs, saying that the vegetables were not worth much and I could go pick them if I wanted to eat them."
Song Yuehua nodded. It was not easy for Grandma Wang to grow vegetables since she lived alone. She would make up for it in the future when she had the chance.
There was a clay pot at home. Song Yuehua washed it and started cooking, starting with a dish of green pepper residue.
Moisten the bottom of the pot with lard and then pour in the lard residue. Wait for the aroma of the lard residue to waft out, then pour in the green pepper, sprinkle with salt, stir-fry for a while, and then serve.
“It smells so good!”
Xiaoyu sniffed.
Song Yuehua handed the dish over, "Just stir-fry another dish of cabbage and you can eat. Take it in first."
There is no need to wash the clay pot, just put the cabbage in and stir-fry it. This will also save oil and when it’s cooked, put it directly into a bowl.
A dish of green pepper residue, a dish of stir-fried cabbage, and two bowls of dry rice.
Xiaoyu stared blankly, not daring to pick up her chopsticks for a moment.
"Eat quickly."
Song Yuehua picked up a piece of oil residue for Xiaoyu with her chopsticks and picked up a piece for herself.
The spicy and crispy oil residue is served with rice. The moment you eat it, your tongue will be satisfied and your stomach will feel full.
In her previous life, Song Yuehua loved to eat and cook, but in the final analysis, her cooking skills were only average. She would watch videos and cook various dishes, and the taste could only be described as mediocre.
I've been hungry for a long time this time, but as long as there is salt and meat, the taste will be good.
"Sister, should we eat less?" Xiaoyu asked worriedly.
Song Yuehua picked up another piece of food for her with chopsticks and said, "You have to trust me, I will never let you go hungry again."
Xiaoyu didn't know what Song Yuehua was planning, so she could only nod ignorantly.
Two dishes and a can of rice were eaten cleanly.
After dinner.
Song Yuehua took out the newly bought cotton cloth, gestured for a long time, and finally put it down.
Dabao and Xiaobao were wearing her and Xiaoyu's clothes, and their diapers were also made from their parents' coarse cloth clothes. Last night, Xiaobao kept moving around, and when they took off their diapers, they saw that his entire butt was red.
Song Yuehua rummaged through the old clothes, most of which were made of coarse linen, with only her mother's two sets of underwear being made of cotton.
After cutting the two sets of underwear, there were a total of 20 diapers. After taking out two and changing them for the twins, Song Yuehua became worried about the newly bought cotton cloth.
This is what Xiaoyu saw when she came back with the dishes. "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Researching how to make clothes." Song Yuehua sighed.
Xiaoyu was puzzled, "If Sister doesn't know, why don't you ask Granny Wang?"
"Grandma Wang can also make clothes?" Song Yuehua asked hurriedly.
Yesterday, Xiaoyu spent a day with Granny Wang. They talked about a lot of things. Xiaoyu learned that Granny Wang used to be an embroiderer and also ran an embroidery workshop.
Embroiderer!
Song Yuehua didn't understand, but she always felt that it must be very powerful.
While it was still early, I went to Grandma Wang's house with the cloth.
Granny Wang was driving the chickens back to the coop and asked, "Big girl, why are you here?"
Song Yuehua talked about making clothes.
Granny Wang wiped her hands and said, "It's easy to make clothes for the little baby. If you're in a hurry, I'll rush it for you tonight."
The two men stretched out the cotton cloth and took a look.
Granny Wang nodded and said, "There's enough fabric. It's more than enough to make two sets of clothes for Dabao and Xiaobao, both inside and outside."
You are indeed an expert!
When Song Yuehua asked about the wages, Granny Wang shook her head and laughed, "If I charge money for making a few clothes for children, what kind of person would I be!"
"Grandma Wang, I appreciate your kindness," Song Yuehua refused, "but we have to deal with it separately, otherwise I will have to find someone else. Believe me, I can support this family."
Granny Wang opened her mouth and sighed, "Okay, I've never seen a girl as stubborn as you."
The wages are 15 wen per set, and 8 sets are a total of 120 wen.
