Every time I went down to the cellar, I would stare at the yams not far away and think about what to eat tomorrow.
Looking at the golden millet and adding yam, isn’t that the perfect yam millet porridge? What’s more, she has both white sugar and rock sugar in her space!
After thinking it over, she took out the millet and soaked it first. The next morning, Song Tanglan got up early, which was rare, but someone got up earlier than her. Cheng Fangyuan knew that she was going to cook yam and millet porridge today, so he got up early in the morning to help her peel the yam.
The yams were cut into pieces and placed there for later use. Song Tanglan did not need to clean the yams separately. After all, it was quite troublesome to clean the yams and it was easy to get itchy hands.
After expressing her gratitude, Song Tanglan began to cook yam and millet porridge. Although it is not difficult to cook porridge on the stove, it is not easy either. It needs to be stirred constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
Fortunately, the millet that had been soaked in advance did not need to be cooked for too long, otherwise she would definitely have her hands hurt from stirring it. After the porridge was cooked, she added the white sugar that had been prepared long ago.
The rest was given to Cheng Fangyuan, because the porridge alone was not enough to fill him up, so he still had to add a pancake. However, Song Tanglan couldn't learn it. In order not to waste food, she never tried it again since she made a mess last time.
When Song Tangcheng got up, breakfast was already ready. She looked at the freshly baked porridge and smelled the sweet aroma. She knew that this was what her younger sister had talked about last night. She picked up the spoon, tasted it curiously, and found that it tasted pretty good.
It was her first time eating porridge with sugar, and she found it wasn’t that bad. With the addition of yam, she really enjoyed today’s breakfast.
"I didn't expect that millet porridge would taste better with sugar and yam. Why didn't I think of this method before? I don't have to drink millet porridge for breakfast every day in the future. I can try different flavors." After saying that, he took another bite of the pancake.
"Second sister, drink more if you like." Song Tanglan was very happy to see that she liked to drink. After all, delicious food is not only to satisfy one's own appetite, but also to be shared with people around, which makes it more delicious.
This winter, Song Tanglan was so bored that she had nothing to do at home all day. She was so idle that she took out her high school textbooks from her space and started reading. The balls of yarn her family sent her were also used up by her during this period. She could only shift her attention to books and cooking every day.
Fortunately, although she has no talent, she knows a lot about food and can always make some delicious dishes.
After lunch, Song Tanglan thought that she would continue to do nothing like the previous few days, but she didn't expect that a guest would come to their house today.
That's Xu Qi.
Ever since Xu Qi and Cheng Fangyuan hunted large prey in the mountains last time, he has been looking for markets to sell them. After he finally sold all of them, he was assigned to cover for another shift and deliver a batch of goods to the neighboring province.
It took him a month to finally return from the neighboring province. Thinking that he had not yet given the money from selling the prey to Brother Yuan, he decided to rest for a few days before going to the Red Star Brigade. It happened that his mother had prepared a lot of things for him to bring to his elder sister.
In addition to his elder sister and mother, Xu Qi also has a younger brother. His family lives not far from the black market in the commune. That is the house that Xu Qi bought when he worked hard with his former uncle.
Later, my eldest sister got married and settled down here.
The sky was gloomy today, and he was afraid it would snow halfway through the journey, so he planned to ride a bicycle. In order to make the journey easier, he even put his modified anti-slip tools on the wheels. As long as he rode slowly, he could reach the Red Star Brigade safely before dark.
So Song Tanglan met Xu Qi as soon as she came back from Su Tao.
When he saw him, he immediately thought of the spareribs he had been longing for. He had overheard his second brother-in-law and others discussing that this man had connections and could buy a lot of things.
However, judging from his aura, he was no ordinary person. Maybe he could really buy the spare ribs, so he considered asking him to help buy them.
But then I thought about how their relationship wasn't that good, and I was conflicted about whether I should bring it up.
However, time did not keep her troubled for long, because Xu Qi had to go back to his eldest sister's place for dinner, and she saw that he was about to leave.
Thinking that if he left, she would not be able to eat fresh and tender ribs, so she opened her mouth.
"Comrade Xu."
"Little educated youth, is there something wrong?" Xu Qi had noticed her eyes when he was chatting with Brother Yuan just now. Seeing that she was always struggling, with all kinds of small movements and expressions, he was curious. What was wrong with this person?
But Song Tanglan never said a word.
He almost thought the little girl would not speak again, but she only called him when he was about to leave.
"Um... When will you come to the team next time?"
Song Tanglan felt a little regretful after he finished speaking. He felt that asking this question was a bit like having bad intentions towards someone and intentionally inquiring about their whereabouts.
But the words had already come out of her mouth, and when she wanted to continue to argue, Xu Qi took the lead.
"What will it look like in 10 days? What's wrong?"
After hearing the 10 days, Song Tanglan stopped dwelling on the previous question and calculated the time. He found that it was not the New Year's Eve in 10 days, nor was it the time for the team to slaughter pigs. So he told him that he wanted him to help buy things.
"Um...I'd like to ask you to bring me some spare ribs. Don't worry, I'll give you the money and the tickets. Would you be willing to do that?"
"Oh, sure. How many do you want?" Xu Qi thought about the two pigs his men had ordered to be slaughtered in seven days. They would be sold on the black market then. He could also buy some ribs at the same time. It wouldn't be that difficult.
But he didn't expect that such a small matter would be worth the young educated youth worrying about for so long.
"Really? I want 5 jins. You can buy more if you have any."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you when the time comes. You just need to give me the money and the ticket. Is there anything else you need to bring?"
Song Tanglan's smile widened when he heard his agreement. "There's nothing else to bring. Thank you, Comrade Xu."
