Recently, Maixi got a little tired of eating steamed eggs, so she told Chen Qiao.
“Dad, I don’t want to eat baby birds anymore.”
"Why, I don't like eating it now."
"Daddy, the little birdie is so pitiful."
"But what did you say in the first place: The baby bird will be eaten anyway when it grows up." At that time, Maixi was recovering from a serious illness, so Chen Qiao made steamed eggs for him to eat. At first, he couldn't eat them. With relish, this is how Dila teased him, but Dila was too shallow and was blocked by Maixi after just one sentence.
"Then let's wait until they grow up before eating them, okay?" The two big innocent eyes on Maixi's pale face flashed, making Chen Qiao's heart soften.
It just so happened that the stone mill had just been finished today, and Chen Qiao went to grind corn flour after serving their young master. Although this stone grinder is easy to use, it still takes a lot of effort to grind the corn kernels into powder that can be used to make polenta. If one grind is not fine enough, just grind it again
In the evening, Maixi drank two bowls of corn porridge mixed with honey, which made Chen Qiao very happy. The remaining bowl was given to Dilla, and the two adults could just forget it and eat taro.
When Chen Qiao got up the next day, he saw Baya grinding corn flour under the awning in the yard. He was strong and fast. A small jar of fine powder had been ground beside him. Chen Qiao looked happy. , decided to make polenta to drink this morning.
It’s a very simple method. Slowly sprinkle corn flour into the boiling water and stir while spreading. Considering that it is winter, Chen Qiao made it slightly thicker.
I fried a plate of mushrooms and minced meat, and that’s it for breakfast. It doesn’t need to be too particular, but at the end of the meal, everyone enjoyed it.
The weather is nice today, so I took out the corn to dry in the sun. Chen Qiao sat in the yard and slowly rubbed the corn to separate the corn particles from the cob. Dilla and Maisie were also sitting on the side basking in the sun. Dilla was still playing with his things. The guy he was playing with now was getting bigger and bigger, just like a little carpenter.
Maixi has been relatively quiet recently, sitting next to Chen Qiao and watching him work, and she felt a little drowsy just by watching him.
Baya is still grinding corn flour. Judging from his posture, he seems to be grinding all the corn in the house into flour in one day.
While Chen Qiao was working, he was wondering whether to buy Dila a set of carpentry tools. Since this child likes to do these things, let him do what he likes to do for the rest of his life. There are not so many things in this world. , as long as you can earn enough food to feed your family.
Food is always scarce in winter. No matter how delicious you make these things at home, you will get tired of eating them all winter long. You need to make more varieties
In the afternoon, they eat steamed buns because they get up late in the morning. In the afternoon, they move the dinner time forward and that’s it. At worst, whoever is hungry in the evening can just get something to fill their stomachs.
They now live a more lazy and casual life because they don’t need to go out to work.
Dinner is soft and delicious steamed buns, accompanied by a jar of boiled taro and a plate of fried mountain mushrooms. Wowotou is a very good staple food. Chen Qiao and the others are too embarrassed to eat alone at home, so they will grind some corn flour to send some to everyone. When corn is planted in the village next year, everyone's food will be greatly improved. Life won't be so hard anymore.
Early the next morning, Chen Qiao and Baya went to pick up the sea from the beach. I had heard people say that people rely on the mountains to eat and eat from the sea. There is no reason why they have to worry about three meals a day when they rely on the mountains and the sea.
The harvest this time was not bad, some seashells and three large crabs.
After returning home, Chen Qiao first kept the crabs in a jar, washed the seashells and fried them. Add ginger and spicy herbs, fry the seashells until they open, sprinkle a little wine, add some salt and start the pot. The seashells fried in this way are spicy and delicious, without any fishy smell.
Let Dilla and Maxi each drink some polenta to fill their stomachs, and then encouraged them to try seashells. Both children were a little resistant at first, but the smell was quite fragrant, so they plucked up the courage to eat it. One, and then one after another without stopping.
Chen Qiao was worried that their stomachs would be upset if they ate too much seafood for the first time. Seeing that it was almost done, he quickly moved the plates further away to avoid eating too much.
"Dad, we still need to eat!" Maixi said almost everything at home because of her poor health these days.
"No, if you eat too much, you will get a stomachache."
"Why?" Dad must be lying to him again.
"Because you haven't eaten it before, you can eat more when you get used to it."
?"Then why didn't we eat it before?" Dad went too far. Why didn't we give him such delicious food before?
"Our family didn't have a pot before." What a helpless thing, Maixi had no choice but to give up
In the evening, Chen Qiao cut the three crabs in half, cooked them in the pot with the cut sides facing down, and fried them in the pot until the crab shells turned from green to red. He sprinkled cooking wine and salt, poured a bowl of water in and boiled them. To the taste.
At dinner time.
"Dad, will eating too much of this cause stomach pain?" Maixi asked worriedly as she ate the crab roe and crab meat that Chen Qiao had chosen for him.
"yes."
"Then how many can I eat?"
"Half."
"Well" He ate slower and slower
A few days later, when the corn at home was almost done, Chen Qiao asked Baya to invite everyone in the village to their home. Since there was no room for them to sit in the house, they moved some tables to another house and cooked three meals in the yard. table.
Chen Qiao asked several women and young men who usually cook by themselves to help him make steamed buns, and he also taught them the skills. Then he took out the dozen crabs that had been accumulated recently in the jar and cooked them in front of everyone according to the old method.
When it was time to eat, everyone was shocked. It turns out that there are still so many edible things in the world.
By the way, I also proposed to distribute the seeds to everyone next year and plant corn together. Corn has no requirements on soil and is very suitable for planting. The only difference is the level of yield. After the meal, each family was asked to take some corn meal back.
After all this work was done, Chen Qiao began to work together to make a set of tools for Dila. Maixi basically doesn't have to worry now. In the past, Chen Qiao was trying to find ways to get him to eat more every day. Now, haha.
"Dad, let's eat crabs tonight." That thing called crab is so delicious.
"There are no crabs in the house today."
“Where are the shells?”
"I've finished eating too."
“Where’s the discus?”
"How dare you eat a discus when you've been so angry lately?"
"Well, dad, let's eat some steamed buns, okay?" He would cry if he didn't agree.
"Okay, let's eat some steamed buns." Just like that, Chen Qiao felt that he could completely relax. With such a good appetite, what else could happen?
"Go pick up the sea tomorrow morning and catch a few more crabs for this guy. If you don't have any, seashells will do. Marine life is relatively rich in nutrients. Hey, it would be great if you could catch fish, shrimps and the like.
When he has time, he will go to Ada's place and ask her to help make a few molds. He had to finish Dila's set of things before spring came. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
