    Soup and dim sum are just snacks and cannot fully represent Cai Xiaoman's level.

    Whether a home-cooked meal is well done depends not only on the taste, but also on whether it is economical, whether the nutrition is balanced, and how efficient it is.

    Although the Cai family is considered well-to-do among ordinary people, it is not something that can be squandered at will.  In addition, there are many people in the family, everyone eats a lot, and the expenditure on food is very large, so it is even more necessary to calculate.

    Needless to say about nutrition, it is necessary to know how to maximize the effectiveness of the nutrition of the food itself, and to meet the physical conditions of people in different situations at home.  For example, if there are elderly people in the family, then some meals must be easy to digest.

    In addition to these, efficiency is also very important. Ordinary people are not as leisurely as rich and noble people. They still need to run around for a living, and there are a lot of jobs at home.  If it takes too much time to cook a meal, and you can't do anything but cook in the kitchen all day, then no matter how delicious the meal is and how little money you spend, it is still unqualified.

    Gao Shi had already bought the food for the family early in the morning.  The situation here is similar to that of later generations. There are special vegetable markets and temporary morning markets.  The former is relatively stable and more expensive, while the latter is cheaper.

    As a qualified housewife, finding out the most affordable market nearby is a compulsory course.  For the sake of cheapness, Gao often spent more than an hour going back and forth to other places to buy durable vegetables, which cost hundreds of catties.  Thanks to her great strength, she was able to pick it up from such a great distance.

    For example, during this period of time, they ate radishes until they vomited. Although Qin and Gao had tried their best to change their ways, they couldn't bear to eat like this.

    Cai Xiaoman glanced at the food at home, and began to calculate in his mind.

    "Third Sister, what are we going to cook to eat tonight? You can fry vegetables, the fried vegetables will be delicious." Cai Xiaohu slipped in, the snacks and soup just now, not only didn't suppress his glutton, but made him look forward to dinner even more  Come here quickly, so that he doesn't have the heart to go out to play.

    Cai Xiaoman glanced at him: "You are so beautiful, the stir-fried vegetables consume a lot of oil, I want to eat stir-fried vegetables every day."

    "But the stir-fry is delicious. Every time there is stir-fry, I can eat a few more bowls of rice!" Cai Xiaohu swallowed while thinking.

    "Then just eat a little less, and we can save some food." Before Cai Xiaohu wailed, Cai Xiaoman said again: "Stop babbling, quickly light the fire for me, I already want to do something at night.  "

    Without further ado, Cai Xiaohu pulled the fire out from the ashes, skillfully put in the firewood and lit it, while asking: "Sister, what are you going to do tonight?"

    "Pork stewed vermicelli, egg drop soup, radish balls, tomato black fish and sweet potato golden pancakes."

    Pork is the cheapest meat. Contrary to the previous life, lean meat here is cheap and fat meat is expensive.  At this time, people mostly do physical labor, and meat oil can provide more energy.  Cai Dajiang can't eat vegetable oil. He works hard and tends to get hungry too quickly.

    There is Jinjiang River in Yangcheng, which is rich in fish, so it is not expensive.  The eggs are laid by the chickens raised by the family, and the tomatoes are also grown in the yard of the family. Although they live in the city, the big guys still breed and plant every bit of time, saving a little bit.  The radishes and sweet potatoes were picked by Gao from thousands of miles before, and they are very cheap.

    Cai Xiaohu sucked his saliva very cooperatively, and he was not stingy with his praise: "I have never eaten anything except egg drop soup. It must be super delicious."

    Most civilians in Yangcheng have fire pits in their homes, not only for cooking, but also for keeping warm in winter.  The kindling is planted every night, and it is enough to use these kindling to start a fire the next day.  The fire cannot be extinguished, which will be quite unlucky.

    Although this place is not as cold as the north, it is also very difficult because of the damp and cold winter.  On weekdays, the whole family would sit by the firepit to keep warm, and basically eat food while it was hot to prevent the dishes from getting cold.  Firewood is cheaper than charcoal, and the temperature is higher and the radiation area is larger. It is the choice of many civilian families, but the smell of smoke will be heavier.

    If you stay in the kitchen all the time, your whole body will be gray and disheveled.

    Cai Xiaoman asked Cai Xiaohu to wash out the rice, and put the cooking pot next to the stove, so that he could cook while cooking.  Just remember to turn the pot every time, otherwise one side is easy to paste.

    Although Cai Xiaohu is not very old and usually very skinny, he is not ambiguous in doing these housework.  The children of the poor will be in charge of the family early, and no matter how spoiled they are, the children will not know anything.

    With the basis of making soup and dim sum, Cai Xiaoman has basically adapted to the operation of this kitchen, so he started working at the same time to save time.  Not only for efficiency, but also to prevent this dish from getting cold after the previous dish is finished.

    & nbsp; Cai Xiaoman first cut the meat slices, marinated them with soy sauce and put them aside, then began to cut the shredded radish and lean meat for radish balls. Her knife skills were much more proficient than before, which made Cai Xiaohu dumbfounded.

    "Third sister, leave it to me!"

    Cai Xiaoman was surprised: "You also want to learn how to cook with me?"

    "You use this hand to fight, you are definitely a martial arts master!" Cai Xiaohu's eyes were about to burst into stars, but the corners of Cai Xiaoman's mouth twitched when he heard it.

    So, it¡¯s no wonder I still teach you!

    "Don't think about fighting all day long, you're going to school next month, so calm down." Cai Xiaoman said, but the movements in his hands didn't slow down.

    Cai Xiaohu's small face suddenly collapsed: "Sister San, I don't want to go to school, please tell my parents for me. I want to go out and earn a lot of money like my uncle!"

    Speaking of running the boat, Cai Xiaohu immediately regained his energy, his face full of longing.

    "If you want to run a boat, you should read and read. Otherwise, you will be blind when you go out, and others will not know if you are deceived." Cai Xiaoman now looks like he really does not look like a student, his temper is too jumpy,  Can't be quiet.  But the family hopes to be able to produce a scholar, not only to honor the lintel, but also to reduce taxes.

    However, this kind of thing is uncertain. Maybe you will suddenly discover the value of knowledge when you go to school, and you may not necessarily want to study it.  No matter what, basic education must not be left behind. Only in the future will there be wider paths and more choices.

    "But studying is so difficult." Cai Xiaohu wept.

    When Cai Xiaoman heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and said with a serious face: "How do you know it's difficult before you go? Difficulties are worth doing, and this is a man. You are so cowardly, don't say it's me when you go out."  younger brother."

    "But, but" Cai Xiaohu was extremely aggrieved, and held back for a long time before he said, "A man is a man who knows how to fight! He doesn't have any manners."

    "The six arts of a gentleman, among them are archery and defense. If you only know how to fight, you are a reckless man, and it has nothing to do with a man."

    Cai Xiaohu blinked, Third Sister knows a lot now.

    He was quiet for a long time before hesitatingly said: "If you don't go, don't you have a good life? Why do you let me go? It costs so much money. Why don't you give it to the elder brother? The elder brother is here now.  That paper mill is tired and has no money."

    Only then did Cai Xiaoman understand the problem, this little guy is not completely heartless.

    Gao Shi is a nagging one, and he likes to talk about money and so on.  She often told Cai Xiaohu that it would cost a lot of money to send him to school, and the family would be emptied.

    Her original intention was to hope that Cai Xiaohu could study hard, and on the other hand, she also meant to show off to her neighbors.  After all, there are not many families who can send them to school, which not only costs a lot of money, but also delays earning money.  Children here start their apprenticeships very early and start working for a living.  No matter how bad it is, I will help the family.

    Sending them to school means that there is one less labor force and a lot of money has to be paid out.  Although everyone understands the benefits of reading, most of them only look at the eyes first.

    Such nagging not only did not make Cai Xiaohu have a heart to fight, but on the contrary made him retreat even more.  In particular, Mrs. Gao kept talking about making Cai Xiaohu a champion and earning her a fortune, which put even more pressure on Cai Xiaohu.

    Cai Xiaohu secretly investigated the children who went to the school, and the result made him even more reluctant to go.  Wang Jiabao's hands were swollen because he couldn't recite the books, and he couldn't even hold the bowl.  When his parents found out, not only did they not comfort him, but they punished him not to eat.

    On weekdays, Wang Jiabao's parents love him so much, and give him a lot of money to buy food every day, but as long as his master says a few words in school, he doesn't even have to eat.

    He even asked Wang Jiabao what he was asked to recite, but as soon as he heard it, stars began to pop up in front of his eyes, and he couldn't understand it at all!  He also tried to draw red with a brush, but the result was a lump, and he immediately felt that the lump written by Wang Jiabao was good.  But even so, Wang Jiabao was criticized badly and fined again.

    All kinds of things made Cai Xiaohu repulsive to that strange world.

    "I think about it a lot." Cai Xiaoman wiped his hands and rubbed his big head, "My father and mother want you to be better in the future, so they send you to school. In the past, the family had no money, so there was no way to send elder brother to school.  , I can only be an apprentice. Now that I have some money, I naturally hope that you will do better in the future."

    "I know that my parents are doing it for my own good." Cai Xiaohu murmured with his head down, so he didn't dare to say anything, otherwise he would become ignorant of good and bad, and many people would not be able to go to school if they wanted to.

    Cai Xiaoman thought for a while and said: "Study is wise, you know a lot, and your parents will believe you and agree to your request. Otherwise, it is impossible for you to go on a boat, or else the elder brother would have gone  gone."

    Cai Xiaohu's eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his head suddenly: "Sister San, is what you said true? If I study hard, will my parents let me go on a boat?"

    "That depends on how well you have learned." Cai Xiaoman did not dare to promise, and only gave a vague answer.

    Cai Xiaohu suddenly shone brightly, as if there was a shining red star behind him: "Third sister, I will study hard!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)??It is impossible to go to the boat, or else the eldest brother would have gone.  "
