Chapter 006:
At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Yu, who was taking a nap in the courtyard, opened his eyes. It was half an hour before Jiang Chuan got out of school. She got up and went to the kitchen to prepare before cooking.
She decided to start helping with cooking at home, but the premise was that she needed to burn the soil stove. Unfortunately, Jiang Yu couldn't do this at the moment.
In my previous life, I never used a earthen stove. If I wanted to get started, it would be impossible. I would probably have to be familiar with it for a few days.
She was preparing corn buns for dinner. It was not that the stuffing of the bun was corn, but made of corn flour. Add some wheat flour to the corn flour and make dough at a ratio of 2:1. The filling can only be vegetarian. Although she bought a little meat at home two days ago, it was really only a very small piece and it was finished in two days. Besides, it was hot now and it couldn't be kept for long without a refrigerator.
A handful of leeks were cut from the vegetable bed at the door, and then sat on the threshold of his own house to pick them clean. He threw the leek leaves into the chicken pen. He saw a few half-large chickens eating happily, and added a basin of water to them, and then came to the kitchen.
I took two bowls of cornmeal and a bowl of wheat flour, added a little ginger smoke to make my own yeast, kneaded it into the dough, and set it aside for later use.
I used a whole cabbage, peeled off two layers of withered cabbage leaves outside, chopped the whole cabbage, cut the leeks into chunks, and added an appropriate amount of oil, salt and sauce to stir evenly. After preparing this, Jiang Chuan also came back from school with his schoolbag.
"Second sister!" After stepping into the house, the little guy shouted at the top of his voice.
Jiang Yu responded, and then greeted Jiang Chuan, "Eat corn bread tonight, and you will burn the fire for your second sister later."
"Who made it?" He threw his schoolbag into his house and came over. Seeing that he was ready, he looked at Jiang Yu in surprise, "What did the second sister do?"
"It's me." He put the small panel on the dining table and moved a stool to sit down. "There is only vegetables and no meat at all. When our big fat pigs are sold at the end of this year, I will go to the county supply and marketing cooperative with my elder sister to buy some pork and eat pork dumplings during the Chinese New Year."
"Then you have to buy it." Pork has always been in short supply and is reluctant to spend money to buy it. I want to eat something during the Chinese New Year, but it is difficult to buy it. Porks may not be filled with your portion when they go into the water. People in the city and county will wait before dawn. When they pass by, there will be no meat residue left.
Jiang Yu didn't care, and started rolling the bun skin quickly, "If you can't buy it, don't buy it. There is no meat or no meat to eat it."
This is what Jiang Chuan can remember. It was the first time he saw his second sister cooking. The kung fu in his hands looked very quick and did not seem unfamiliar at all. This was really strange.
"Second sister, are you so powerful?" Jiang Chuan squatted down beside him, looking at him with a nice look. A golden bun with a big palm formed from her hand, squatting on the panel in a regular manner. It was very cute, and it looked better than what my mother and elder sister made, and it was small and exquisite.
Jiang Yu raised his hand and wiped his finger on his face. The flour rubbed against Jiang Chuan's little face and said with a smile: "Second sister is a genius."
"You genius, you still count down on your studies?"
"..." Jiang Yu found that this little guy in his family had a very poisonous mouth and was very sarcastic, "That's my second sister who is lazy."
"Brave, I don't know who you are."
This naughty child!
After packing eighteen buns, they were waking up on the kang. Add half a pot of water to the big iron pot, and Jiang Yu called the naughty kid to burn the fire.
In hot weather, rural children don’t like to burn fire, and they are sweating all over. Sitting in front of the stove in winter is a thing to enjoy. At that time, stuff a few pieces of sweet potatoes or potatoes into the stove, and you can bake it in one meal.
However, it was rare for the second sister to cook for the first time today. Jiang Chuan also knew that her second sister would not do this firework, so she took it alone.
After boiling the water in the pot, Jiang Yu put the awakened corn buns into the pot, and then cooked over high heat for ten minutes to cook thoroughly.
Taking advantage of this, she washed a radish and peeled it, then cut it into thin slices, and prepared the onion, ginger and garlic. She just waited for the corn buns to come out of the pot and fryed the radish to eat for the evening.
At half past six, corn buns were released from the pot, and yellow buns looked like they were enjoyable.
When Jiang Chuan was in the gap where she had put the buns out of the pot, she went to the yard to wash the hands. After coming back, she said to Jiang Yu: "Second sister, let me taste it first?"
Jiang Yu looked at him teasingly, "It's still hot now, you can eat it when it's cool."
There was still an hour before Jiang Yan came back from work, so she decided not to fry the dishes first, so that they would not get cold after coming back.
I got off work at 7 o'clock, and then went to the commune warehouse to return the farm tools. After a little trouble, I got 7:30. At that time in June, it was already dark.
When Jiang Han and his wife were alive, Jiang Yan's work was there in the warehouse. Every morning, noon and evening, they just needed to stay there and register the people who came to pick up and deliver farm tools. Registration was very simple. Find their names and draw a check mark when picking up and returning them. The rest of the time was free.
Now the commune has changed its captain, and now the person who registers there is changed to the other party’s daughter.
Jiang Yu and that little girl are also good friends, and unfortunately, that girl is also a cannon fodder, and in the eyes of the heroine, she is almost a cannon fodder who has no combat power and can only take advantage of her words, and is not taken seriously by the heroine at all.
When Jiang Yan came back, she was carrying a red plastic bag in her hand, with two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes in it. After entering the door, she gave it to Jiang Yu.
"Sixiu gave it to you, you and Xiaochuan are one piece." After saying that, he saw the corn buns on the stove and said in surprise: "Made by Xiaoyu?"
Jiang Chuan just ate a corn bun. Although there was no meat in it, the delicious taste made him feel very satisfying. The skin was thin and the filling was rich. The unique sweetness of corn was also the perfect combination of the fresh fragrance. The cabbage itself was very fresh, and the leeks were seasoned from it. Even if there was no meat, it still made people of this era feel delicious.
"Sister is back, so let's cook some food." Jiang Yu put the roasted sweet potato next to him and asked Jiang Chuan to come over to burn the fire. "Sister goes to wash your hands and rest for a while, and you'll have dinner soon."
"...Okay!" Jiang Yan went to the yard to wash his hands in a daze. It was incredible that her sister could cook.
Jiang Yu skillfully stir-fry the radish, "Xiaochuan, these two roasted sweet potatoes will be brought to school tomorrow."
Jiang Chuan nodded with a smile, "Thank you, second sister."
Roasted sweet potatoes cannot be said to be the staple food, but it is also a rare snack for children in this era.
"Well, why are you polite to my second sister, silly boy." In her previous life, she was over thirty years old and had not been married. She had had two or three talks with her boyfriend, but she always left it alone for various reasons.
Some people think she is busy with work and have no time to date, and think that as a girlfriend, there is no difference in whether she has any or not.
There are also problems with her boss herself, because she is handsome, she is still a domineering president, and there are constant gossip news, thinking that she has been slept with by her boss.
In fact, she yearns for marriage herself, but she has not achieved her wish.
When I saw Jiang Chuan at this time, it seemed that if I had a son, I should be like this.
