1489 The first meal [1488]
Chapter 1489 [1488] The first time
When she returned to the dormitory, she saw two sisters-in-law sitting in the yard, one of whom was cooking, the other one helped to take care of the child who was a few months old, and a child who was one or two years old. These are the children of the two sisters-in-law's family, and the older children ran out to play. Because the two families had been around the same time, they had a good relationship and they cooked together.
Seeing Ding Wei bringing the kelp into the house, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It's the same when we first came here. It's so rare that everything is rare. Look at how much kelp is dry in the yard. I eat kelp every day, and the children are tired of it. But before, at home, it was only when men sent it home. My little daughter, wait until we prepare the meal and wash the pot, and you can do it again!"
"It's okay, sister-in-law, don't worry. My brother and the others have gone to pick up firewood. Let them carry water tomorrow morning. It's not convenient for you to bring your children."
"There are no girls. We are old and we have never carried water. They are all the water that children can pick up when they get up in the morning. We have few people, so we usually just pick it up once every two days. But since you are here and there are more people, let's help each other. It's okay to pick up water once a day. Anyway, the wellhead is not far from our house."
The well was killed by the army, just under the big willow tree below the village, with a lot of water. She passed by and saw the water at the edge of the well. The water level was very high, which was enough to show that the freshwater resources here are quite abundant, and it was not that difficult to fetch water.
Both sisters-in-law have given birth to their third child, the oldest is in their teens, the youngest is in their youngest, and the youngest is in their youngest, and they are both children and one daughter. The older one is their son and the younger one is their daughter. Otherwise, they even cook in the same pot, which shows that their character and other things can be brought together.
After they made the porridge and steamed the steamed buns, Ding Wei rolled out a pot of noodles and just took the steamed buns they bought in the county town, with four or five left. Just make do with it.
I borrowed zatou (yeast) from my sister-in-law and gave a pot of noodles. Because it is summer, it is very fast. I steamed it in a pot before going to bed at night and could eat it tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I would have no time to steam the buns if I rush to cook breakfast tomorrow.
The noodles are pickled with some scallions and coriander, and some shredded kelp were cooked in the noodles pan. After leaving the pot, the pickled vegetables are poured into the pot and sprinkled with a handful of leeks. This is considered as the result. There is more kelp, so it is also cooked more, which can at least stop some hunger. Although it is simple, only soy sauce, vinegar and salt are added, but the taste is very delicious.
My two sisters-in-law thought it was from northern Shaanxi and one from northeast China. They thought it was rare to see her cooking, so they decided to give it a try tomorrow.
The brothers came back with a bundle of firewood on their backs. The brothers and sisters used lunch boxes to pack rice. After they finished eating noodles, soup and vegetables, the sister went to wash dishes. Ding Wei started to cook steamed buns because it would be dark after a while, so she had to hurry up.
Steaming steamed buns is very simple. But my second brother didn’t prepare alkaline noodles for her, so she borrowed some from her sister-in-law to successfully steam the steamed buns.
This is fermented with yeast, not yeast powder, so alkaline noodles must be used, otherwise the steamed buns will be very sour, and the taste of acid-base combination will have a special fragrance and will be easy to digest and taste good.
She steamed a pot of steamed buns with mixed noodles and white noodles. She steamed about twenty of them, which would be the amount of them tomorrow.
She looked at the remaining grain and felt that it would be finished soon if this continued, so she asked her sister-in-law how long she would go out for car maintenance, and then she told her third brother to buy some daily necessities and food tomorrow. The third brother agreed.
He also felt that living in a small fishing village was very novel and wanted to live more, so his sister asked him to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and grain tomorrow. He was very happy. If he could meet a meat seller, it would be even better.
I have been out for so many days and I have been eating outside, so I feel that the food at home is still delicious.
In the evening, except for the lighthouse on the lights in Shanghai, nothing is visible in other places. After steaming the steamed buns, they are directly put into baskets and hung them in the cellar. Because it is too hot outside, it may deteriorate overnight. The cellar is warm in winter and cool in summer. Things that cannot be eaten usually will be hung in the cellar for storage.
The water was dried during the day, and the brothers waited for everyone else to wash it before they went to wash it. Although the water was no longer hot, it at least washed away the fatigue of the day.
"I have to bring some water tomorrow morning to fill the water in the tower."
Ding Wei glanced at him speechlessly: "You don't need to lift the water in the water jar one by one. Didn't you see a water pipe in the water jar? We can,"
Before Ding Wei could finish her words, Ding Jianping seemed to remember something, "Ah~~ I understand, is the right way to siphon?"
Ding Wei gave him a look of 'You're smart': "It's not that. We just need to put one end of the plastic pipe in the water tank, and then forcefully suction the other end of the water pipe. After the water is discharged, we can put the end of the water pipe at a high place to make a waterfall effect. In this way, as long as the water pipe in the water does not leave the water, it will continue to circulate, which utilizes the rainbow effect."
"I forgot this method for a while. With this method, it's really time-saving too much. But it seems that you have to pick two tanks of water in this water tank. The fourth brother, let's get up early tomorrow, Xiangxiang. Didn't they mean that there will be a lot of good things on the coast tomorrow morning? You also get up early, Vivi, let's leave you at home to cook. After we have dinner, we go to the town to buy something. I heard that there are ox carts in the town. We take the army cart and hire a ox cart to get to the nearest of the army."
"That's good. Brother, let's buy some dishes, chopsticks, and other dishes tomorrow, as well as dough basins, and basins for filling and washing vegetables. I don't want to use other people's. After we use it, find a place to bury it. If you want to come next summer vacation, can we just dig it out again?"
When the brothers and sisters heard this, they immediately felt that this method was good. "This way is saved and brought it with us. Otherwise, it would have to be used for public use. It is indeed not convenient. Then you have to buy some pottery, porcelain, etc., and it is not good for iron. If you buried it in the soil, it will easily rust and rot. I have to pick it up tomorrow."
...
The next day, before the chickens in the village started crowing, Ding Wei couldn't sleep anymore because the wind outside was too strong. It would be fine if the guys in the yard were whistling, but the wind was whistling and sounded a little cunning. Ding Wei put on her clothes and went to the yard to take a look, and quickly tidied up the yard.
The third and fourth brothers woke up soon, and they looked at the sky: "Oh, I think it's raining. Before it rains, we will hurry up and take the water to save the trouble of raining. Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, you can get up too, and Vivi, hurry up and take the rubber bucket to the beach to see your fish cage, don't be torn off by the wind and blow it away!"
