Chapter 8



Speaking of raising the wall, Yu Xiuyao's tone was inevitably a little angry: "It can be raised. Our wall is made of stones and yellow mud, and we picked the stones ourselves. When I raised the yard at the beginning, people said a lot of cold words to me. If you want to raise it, you must be prepared to be said cold words. Come to think of it, I did it at the beginning because I had no freedom when it came to eating. When I ate a piece of meat at home, the smell would drift to the next door. The children next door would jump over the wall and lie at the door of my house. What should I do? I might as well raise the wall..."

Lin listened to her words gently. Thinking of the same thing happening in their family in the future, her hair stood on end. You have to know that she likes to prepare delicious food by herself. She is a food blogger not only for the purpose of becoming an Internet celebrity, because she was raised by her grandmother's cooking skills since she was a child. She is also a little picky about food, and she also likes to make delicious food. But if she is stared at every time, that feeling is hard to describe.

Lin Qingqing chatted with Yu Xiuyao for a while, asked about the time, and took Lu Haici back. On the way back, she didn't see those people again. It was probably time to cook dinner, and everyone went back.

Back home, Lin Qingqing took the things out of the basket and saw Lu Haici squatting on the side. She said, "Xiao Haici, shall we have egg fried rice tonight?"

"Sure." As long as it was made by his mother, he liked it. But, "Mom, what kind of rice is egg fried rice? I've eaten egg custard with rice."

"Egg fried rice is just eggs and rice fried together with oil." Lin Qingqing said. According to Lin Qingqing's health regimen, she eats carbohydrates in the morning, protein at noon, and vitamins at night. So in the egg fried rice at night, there can't be too much rice, but if there is less rice, the stomach may not even be half full, so vegetables with vitamins cannot be missing in the egg fried rice.

"Then I'll light the fire for mom." Lu Haici stood up and prepared to light the fire behind the stove. "I know how to light a fire. I've done it for my aunt and dad."

Lin Qingqing was worried about letting a five-year-old child light a fire. Although many people in this era think that letting children light a fire is normal, Lin Qingqing still thinks that a five-year-old child is too young and that lighting a fire is dangerous. However, although lighting a fire is not okay, washing vegetables is okay. So Lin Qingqing said, "Can Xiao Haici help me wash the vegetables first?"

Lu Haici, who was about to light a fire, heard it and immediately said, "Of course."

He just wanted to work for Lin Qingqing, and he didn't care what kind of work he did.

Lin Qingqing took out a handful of green vegetables and put them in the vegetable washing basin, then rinsed some water and brought them to the yard: "Come, Xiao Haici, wash the vegetables here. Wash them thoroughly, otherwise they will be dirty and you will have stomachaches."

Lu Haici said loudly: "I know."

While Lu Haici was washing the vegetables, Lin Qingqing washed the iron pot and the clay pot, then poured the washed rice into the iron pot, and poured water into the clay pot, heating the water and cooking the rice at the same time. Then,

she began to prepare the ingredients. She beat two eggs, separated the yolk and white, and then prepared a cucumber and cut it into cubes. After she prepared the ingredients, Lu Haici had not washed the vegetables yet, so she came to the yard. Seeing Lu Haici washing the petals one by one.

Lin Qingqing did not help, she praised: "Little Haici washes it very cleanly."

Lu Haici smiled shyly, feeling very happy.

Lin Qingqing did not help Lu Haici wash the dishes, she wiped the kitchen, washed the dishes again, and then cleaned the living room. After she finished these things, Lu Haici's vegetables were washed and the rice in the iron pot was ready.

"Mom, look." Lu Haici brought the vegetable washing basin to Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing picked up the vegetables and looked at them: "Little Haici, you washed them really clean. I will reward you to eat more vegetables tonight." They were indeed very clean. After all... this little guy washed them one by one.

When he heard that he had to eat more vegetables, Lu Haici's face fell. He didn't like to eat vegetables. He liked to eat meat, but he didn't want his mother to dislike him, so he said obediently: "Okay." Anyway, he just swallowed it.

Lin Qingqing first cut the vegetables into small pieces. After cutting, the stems and leaves were separated. Because the stems mature slowly and the leaves mature quickly, they should be separated when making fried rice.

Then, she served the rice, and then put two beaten egg yolks in it, and then stirred it with chopsticks so that every grain of rice was stained with egg yolk.

Lu Haici stood aside, curiously watching his mother cook.

After mixing the rice with the egg yolk, she poured oil into the iron pot. The oil at home was rapeseed oil, and raw rapeseed oil had a rapeseed smell, so after the oil was put into the pot, it took a while for small bubbles to appear in the oil before pouring the rice mixed with the egg yolk into it.

Suddenly, a sizzling sound was heard.

Lin Qingqing immediately used a spatula to stir-fry the rice. The rice was already cooked, so it didn't take long to stir-fry. After about half a minute, she added the egg whites and stir-fried them twice, then added the green vegetable stems, cucumber and salt. Normally, salt is added when the pot is almost ready to be taken out of the pot, but the salt grains of this era are a bit coarse, unlike the fine salt of later generations, so it needs to be added in advance and the salt needs to be stir-fried to melt, otherwise the salt will be in clumps if it is added when the pot is almost ready to be taken out of the pot.

Waves of fragrance emanated from the pot, and Lu Haici sniffed desperately, it smelled so good.

At this time, the voice of a little boy came from outside: "Lu Haici... Lu Haici..." With the voice, the person ran into the kitchen.

"Ji Yang."

Before Lin Qingqing could doubt the other party's identity, Lu Haici had already shouted, but he did not go out. If in the past, when the little friend came, he would have gone to greet him, but today, he stood by the stove without moving, just looking at Ji Yang.

Lin Qingqing, on the other hand, looked at the little boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes with curiosity.

Ji Yang stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and asked without any shyness: "Lu Haici, what is your family doing? It smells so good."

When Lu Haici heard it, he immediately said proudly: "My mother is making egg fried rice, it smells so good." He emphasized the three words "my mother" with a child's unique scheming.

However, Ji Yang did not recognize the name. He walked to Lu Haici, tilted his head to look into the pot, and kept praising: "Lu Haici, the egg fried rice made by your mother is so fragrant, it must be delicious."

Although Lu Haici had never eaten it, he had a mysterious confidence in his mother: "It must be delicious." Even if it was not delicious, it was delicious in his heart.

Ji Yang listened, his eyes sparkling: "Lu Haici, I have never eaten egg fried rice."

Lu Haici pouted and looked at him defensively: "I have never eaten it either."

Ji Yang said: "Then can I try it?"

Lu Haici wanted to refuse, but he thought of Ji Yang sharing the milk candy his mother gave him with him, and he was embarrassed to refuse. However, he didn't want to share the egg fried rice made by his mother with others, what should he do? Finally, Lu Haici gritted his teeth and said: "Then you can only eat a little."

Ji Yang patted his chest and promised: "I will only eat a little."

Although Lu Haici promised Ji Yang to give him a little, he didn't dare to make the decision on his own. He asked Lin Qingqing again: "Mom, can you give Ji Yang a little of this egg fried rice? Ji Yang also shared his milk candy with me."

Ji Yang heard what Lu Haici said, and stared at Lin Qingqing, afraid that she would disagree.

Lin Qingqing listened to their conversation and couldn't help but want to laugh. "Of course you can." She said, "Haici, you are the little master, you can do it if you say yes."

Hearing his mother say that he is the little master, Lu Haici clenched his little fist happily: "Then...then give Ji Yang a little more." He was so happy that he was willing to give Ji Yang a little more.

Lin Qingqing saw that the egg fried rice was almost done and the last green leaves had softened, so she took out a plate and two small bowls. She used the plate for herself and the small bowls for Lu Haici and Ji Yang. While serving, Lin Qingqing said, "Xiao Haici, your good friend is having dinner at home. You should tell his family so that they don't worry."

Lu Haici said, "Hey, Ji Yang's house is next door."

"I'll tell him, I'll tell him." Ji Yang turned around and ran outside. After a while, he heard Ji Yang's voice in the yard, "Mom, I'm having dinner at Lu Haici's house. Lu Haici's mother made delicious egg fried rice." He shouted loudly, and ran back to the kitchen without caring whether his family heard him or not.

Lin Qingqing shook her head in silence: "Xiao Haici, then you ask your good friends to sit in the hall, I'll bring the rice over."

Lu Haici: "Hey." He took Ji Yang to the square table in the hall and sat down, sitting properly, with his legs shaking.

Lin Qingqing brought the egg fried rice to the table: "I wish you a happy meal, children." The depth of the two bowls of rice for the two children was the same, both filled two-thirds of the small bowl. Fortunately, although there was not much rice, the green vegetables and cucumbers added were enough, otherwise there would not be enough for Ji Yang.

However, Lin Qingqing herself did not take much, so there was still some left in the pot, in case the children did not have enough to eat and the pot was empty later.

Children naturally like things with rich colors. When they saw the egg fried rice, the two children couldn't help but take a bite with a spoon. The result was... Ji Yang's eyes widened: "Lu Haici, this yellow thing is rice." The rice mixed with egg yolk was fried and the grains were bright and golden. Ji Yang didn't know it was rice. When he ate it, he found out, "Lu Haici, your mother is amazing. The rice is not white." He had only eaten white rice.

Lu Haici said as a matter of course: "My mother is the most amazing mother."

Ji Yang also agreed with this, but: "My mother is also amazing." In the hearts of children, their mothers are the most amazing.
