After dinner, the couple went out.
Yang Haiyan: "Husband, do you know how to read?"
Qin Fang was a little embarrassed when he said this: "I couldn't read when I came from my hometown to serve. In the past few years, I have learned a few words from my comrades who can read in the barracks." Although he was a little lacking in confidence, he was not inferior. However, he immediately said, "Wife, please teach me how to read." If you want to climb up and become a centurion, you must know how to read. After he said this, he realized that he actually called her wife, and he felt a little shy again.
Yang Haiyan: "Okay."
The couple came to the book room.
The waiter: "Hello, I wonder what this brother wants to buy?" Looking at the two people in front of him, the waiter naturally asked Qin Fang. But looking at Qin Fang, the waiter thought again, this brother is so tall, aren't scholars all gentle and polite?
Qin Fang did not speak, but looked at Yang Haiyan.
Yang Haiyan: "Give me one copy each of Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand Character Classic." When the original owner was studying with the young lady, the teacher used these three books first.
Waiter: "Okay, please wait a moment."
Yang Haiyan: "Wait a moment, give me another piece of paper, and a pen and ink, cheap ones will do." Just reading, but not writing, your handwriting is not presentable, and it is not good-looking.
Waiter: "Okay."
Qin Fang did not expect Yang Haiyan to be so thoughtful, and he was very moved at the moment: "Thank you, daughter-in-law." He did not expect that from today on, he could also be a scholar.
Yang Haiyan: "You're welcome."
The two of them came out of the bookstore and went to the market. Not only did they buy vegetables and wine, they also bought a lot of vegetables today, including fish, ribs, pig's trotters, pork belly, and pig's large intestine. The vegetables alone cost 200 coins. Adding the money spent on the bookstore, Qin Fang spent all the money he brought back yesterday.
Yang Haiyan has been buying meat from this stall, and this month, she is the biggest customer of the meat stall, as long as she contracts fat meat and pig's large intestine every ten days.
When buying meat, Yang Haiyan asked: "Boss, who in town raises sheep or cows? I want to buy a bucket of goat's milk or cow's milk."
The meat stall owner was about to answer when someone next to him said, "Madam, do you want to buy goat's milk? I have some."
Yang Haiyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old woman who was dressed very simply and looked a bit shrewd. Yang Haiyan nodded: "Yes, does my aunt have it?"
The old woman: "Yes, yes, yes. Last year, my daughter-in-law gave birth to twins and didn't have enough milk, so my son bought her a ewe. Now my grandson has grown up and doesn't drink milk anymore. However, goat milk smells fishy, so only babies will drink it. No adults in our family like to drink it."
Yang Haiyan felt that the old woman was quite honest. Some people would not say these things for the sake of doing business. Suddenly, she had a better impression of the old woman: "No problem, then can you deliver it later?"
The old woman: "Yes, yes, my home is in the village below, it's very close, half an hour will be enough for the round trip."
Half an hour is an hour, Yang Haiyan thought: "It's troublesome for you to go back and forth, is it convenient for my husband to go to your house with me to buy it?"
The old woman heard that it was inconvenient, saving her the need to go back and forth. "Okay." So they agreed on the time and place to meet.
However, Yang Haiyan was much happier that the goat milk had been settled. Because as long as she had a source, she could buy milk powder on the platform, and if someone asked, she would say that it was ordered from this family. Of course, in order to confuse the real with the fake, it was also necessary to order once in a while.
Afterwards, the two went to the blacksmith shop and took the baking tray that Yang Haiyan had ordered. When
they returned to the family room, they ran into Yang Dahua, who was out buying vegetables and setting up a stall to sell handkerchiefs and purses. If it were normal, she would set up the stall quite early, but Han Zhen came back yesterday, and the couple reunited in the evening, so Han Zhen's teasing made Yang Dahua a little fierce, so that she almost couldn't get up today.
Yang Dahua also saw Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan: "Haiyan, did you just come back from the market?" Yang Haiyan
: "Yes, we are going to have a wedding banquet tonight, sister Dahua, remember to come and have a drink."
Yang Dahua: "Okay. We will have it at our house tomorrow night, you have to come too." Yang
Haiyan: "Of course."
Yang Dahua: "Then I'll go to the market first."
Yang Haiyan: "Okay."
After chatting with Yang Dahua for a while, they parted.
After returning home, Yang Haiyan washed the clothes she changed yesterday, while Qin Fang took a wooden bucket to buy goat milk. Before going to buy, Yang Haiyan said: "Husband, when the ewe is milking, you have to pay attention to hygiene."
Qin Fang: "I know."
After Yang Haiyan washed the clothes and washed the vegetables for a while, Qin Fang came back with a bucket of goat milk. It took only three quarters of an hour (45 minutes) to go back and forth, and it was obvious that Qin Fang was quite fast.
Qin Fang brought a bucket of goat's milk to the kitchen: "You want to drink goat's milk? This tastes a bit fishy, and it is said to be not tasty."
Yang Haiyan looked at the bucket of white goat's milk and said happily: "Of course it is not tasty to drink it this way, wait until I make it, you can try it again." Qin Fang:
"Okay."
Yang Haiyan: "Husband, please help me knead the dough first, I have prepared the ingredients, and after the dough is kneaded, we will use the oven that was just built yesterday to make snacks."
Qin Fang: "Okay, but I don't know how to do this, you have to teach me."
Yang Haiyan: "Well, it's not difficult, my husband is so smart, he will definitely learn it right away."
The couple cooperated well, Qin Fang kneaded the dough and beat the eggs, and Yang Haiyan processed the goat's milk.
Goat milk carries bacteria and viruses, so it needs to be boiled three times for disinfection.
Goat milk is also milder and contains a high content of vitamin E, which can prevent the oxidation and decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids in body cells, delay skin aging, and increase skin elasticity and luster. Moreover, the epithelial cell growth factor in goat milk has a repairing effect on skin cells.
Therefore, in modern times, goat milk has the reputation of being the king of milk and is more conducive to human absorption.
However, goat milk has a disadvantage that is difficult for people to accept, that is, it has a strong smell of mutton. But it is also simple to remove this smell. Just add a pinch of jasmine tea when boiling the milk. After the milk is boiled, skim off the tea leaves, and the mutton smell in the milk will be gone.
So Yang Haiyan bought jasmine tea on the platform and put it in her purse to prevent the flowers and leaves of the jasmine tea from spreading. Of course, there are other ways to remove goat milk, but using jasmine tea to remove the mutton smell is very convenient, and in this world, jasmine tea is more common. If other methods are used to remove the mutton smell, it will not be good if it does not conform to the cognition of this world and arouses suspicion. It
is still very fast to cook milk goat. After she cooked it, she asked Qin to add goat milk, egg liquid, sugar, etc. to the dough. After these processes were completed, the baking tray with the cake was put into the oven.
Qin Fang: "Is this okay?"
Yang Haiyan: "After it's ready, just watch it, my husband." Then she picked up a bowl of goat's milk with sugar and said, "My husband, try it and see how it tastes."
Qin Fang picked it up. The goat's milk no longer had any mutton smell, only a milky aroma. He took a sip and said, "It tastes very special." It's delicious, almost like sugar water, but the milky aroma is really fragrant.
Yang Haiyan: "This is very nourishing, more nourishing than those meats. Think about it, when a baby is just born, its body is so fragile, but it can still grow strong because of the good nutrition of its mother's milk. Goat milk is the same as mother's milk, so it is also nourishing."
Qin Fang: "I see, you know a lot."
While baking the cake, Yang Haiyan also made biscuits and dumplings. The biscuits will continue to be baked in the afternoon, and the dumplings are used to make milk tea.
Because it was the first time to use the earthen cellar oven, Yang Haiyan had to check the cake from time to time to prevent it from being burnt. But even so, after the first batch of cakes were ready, the edges were still a little burnt.
Having learned from the first dish, she used a smaller flame when grilling the next dish, and she was able to control the time.
At noon, the couple had noodle soup for lunch, and they also had some dough to mix with it. They had to treat guests for dinner, so they had a simple lunch, cabbage and egg noodles with some pig fat residue. Qin Fang enjoyed it. It was delicious, much better than what he had eaten at home before serving in the army. Seeing that Yang Haiyan didn't eat much, he couldn't help but said, "You eat more."
Yang Haiyan: "I don't eat much. This is just the right amount for me. If I eat too much, my stomach will bloat and I will feel uncomfortable." She always ate until she was 70% full, and she really didn't eat much. Qin
Fang stopped talking when he heard Yang Haiyan say that she would feel uncomfortable if she ate too much.
After lunch, Qin Fang washed vegetables in the yard while Yang Haiyan continued to bake cakes and biscuits in the kitchen. The cakes were baked and cut into pieces. They were the same size as the green bean cakes in the snack shop. There were more biscuits, which were round, rectangular, square, and triangular. They were printed with small molds and were made very quickly.
After the cakes and biscuits were ready, Yang Haiyan made soybean cakes, which were the same as pumpkin cakes, except that the filling was soybeans. After they were made, they were fried in oil and glowed golden.
Qin Fang washed vegetables outside, but his mind was in the kitchen. However, his mind was not on the food, but on the woman who made the food.
When Qin Fang brought in the washed vegetables, Yang Haiyan had already prepared some snacks, which were cooling down. There was also oil paper and a small red cloth bag on the table.
Qin Fang: "What is this for?"
Yang Haiyan: "This is a wedding cake. You need to prepare wedding candies and cakes for a wedding. This is what we prepare at home. I'll wrap it in oil paper and put it in a small red bag to match the occasion. What do you think?" Although the cloth for the small red bag costs money, it's not much because the small red bag is not big. These dozen small red bags cost no more than 15 cents.
Qin Fang: "It's good." Yes, it's good. She is careful and smart.
Yang Haiyan waved at him.
Qin Fang approached and bowed slightly.
Yang Haiyan took a soybean cake and put it to his mouth: "My husband, you have worked hard washing vegetables. This is a reward for you. Eat it."
Qin Fang heard this and his eyes were full of smiles. He opened his mouth and bit the soybean cake, thinking, she would kiss him and eat for him, how nice.
