I am Fugui

Chapter 67
After cooking the rice in the pot, Xu Fugui began to think about what to eat for dinner.

He originally wanted to cut another piece of bacon, after all, it was his first time cooking after rebirth, so of course he wanted Jiazhen and the others to eat better.

But Jiazhen rolled her eyes, "The landlord's family doesn't eat meat every day."

The meal at noon today has made Jiazhen feel very distressed. It is so rare in a poor family to eat meat all you can eat.

Xu Fugui can't help it, a smart woman can't cook without rice, meat is not allowed, and the food at home is only winter bamboo shoots, radishes, cabbage, and mushrooms and mushrooms picked up from the mountains.

Seeing that there was still a lot of bacon broth left in the pot, he simply took out a handful of vermicelli and threw it in, tore another cabbage, threw radish and shiitake mushrooms in it, and cooked a pot of vegetable soup.

Jiazhen looked at the vermicelli in his hand, opened her mouth, but still didn't speak.

Vermicelli is also a good food for the family. Usually, it is only eaten when entertaining guests or during festivals. It is not as good as eating meat, but it is still a food that children crave.

Not to mention children, adults are also obsessed with vermicelli.

After all, most people don't know how to make this kind of stuff, and if they want to eat it, they have to go to the county town to buy it.

Things that need money to buy are precious.

Xu Fugui was fine, seeing the way he threw the vermicelli, he didn't feel distressed at all. Others would throw a few sticks, so he just threw them in.

Of course Xu Fugui knows that vermicelli is precious, but his mentality is a little different now than before.

After all, there are twenty gold bars and 100 silver dollars in the space. When the situation is exhausted, you can exchange them on the black market. You don’t have to worry about food and drink, just to prevent outsiders from discovering.

So he didn't want to wrong his family when it came to eating.

Life is short, what's wrong with enjoying it when you have the ability?
The firewood was very hot, and the rice pot opened in a short while. Xu Fugui took out the densely woven dustpan, lifted the pot and poured it in. The dustpan separated the rice from the rice soup.

At this time, the rice is still in a raw state and needs to be steamed in a pot.

As for why not cook it directly in one pot, it will be porridge instead of dry rice.

Other families in the village basically eat porridge. When a bowl of rice is cooked, there must be more porridge than dry rice.

At sunset, wisps of cooking smoke rose from the chimney and drifted with the wind.

As the aroma of rice came out, Lai Shun and Chang Gen woke up leisurely.

"Hey, it's getting dark." Laishun stretched his waist and said something.

Chang Gen shook his head, looking a little confused.

Xu Fugui poured a bowl of rice soup and handed it over, "Uncle Gen, after drinking sober, I won't dare to ask you to drink so much again. Drink half a cup at most."

Chang Gen drank the rice soup in the bowl, regained consciousness a little, got up and went to the hut to urinate.

"Laishun, ask Fengxia to come back for dinner." Jiazhen tied her apron and took the bowls and chopsticks, and said casually.

"okay."

Laishun strode out of the yard and shouted towards the village entrance: "Fengxia, Fengxia, it's time to eat!"

The sound spread quickly, and the whole Xujia Village could probably hear it.

The adults in other families have the same method of telling their children to eat, yelling at the top of their voices.

After a while, Father Xu took Feng Xia's hand and walked back.

"Fengxia, where have you been? I haven't seen anyone all afternoon." Xu's mother helped Fengxia with a haircut.

"I played with Dashuang and Xiaoshuang. They asked me if I had eaten marinated eggs. I said I could eat them if I wanted. They asked if they could eat them too, and I agreed."

After finishing speaking, he ran over and hugged Xu Fugui's leg, raised his head and said, "Father, do we have any marinated eggs at home, I want to give them to both the elder and younger."

"In a few years, I haven't cooked lo-mei these days." Xu Fugui patted her head.

"It's time to eat." Jiazhen called everyone to the table.

The big yellow round table in the kitchen was bought after lo-mei made money, and they used to eat around the stove.

Counting Youqing in the family, there are eight people in total, and a round table just happens to be full.

"Well, it tastes good." Mother Xu took a sip and praised.

In the middle of eating, Youqing's crying suddenly came from the room. Jiazhen wiped her hands on the apron, went into the room, first checked Youqing's butt, it was clean, and then picked him up.

As soon as she was picked up, Youqing stopped crying, and stared hard at Jiazhen with her eyes open.

Jiazhen poked his little face lightly, untied the apron and clothes, and skillfully breastfed Youqing.

After feeding him, he walked out with Youqing in his arms.

"Give me a hug, you can eat well." Xu Fugui stretched out his hand.

"Have you eaten?" Jiazhen carefully placed Youqing in his arms.

Xu Fugui nodded, poking his mouth to tease Youqing in his arms.

After dinner, Jiazhen and Xu's mother went to clean up the dishes, and Xu's father followed suit, walking slowly towards the entrance of the village with both hands.

Xu Fugui got up and followed, Fengxia also followed after seeing this, Xu's father reached out to stop him, "You want my grandson to blow it? If you blow it, I will break your dog's legs."

"Father, I'm holding it, I can't blow the wind."

Father Xu said impatiently: "Don't follow me, squatting will not be smooth."

After finishing speaking, he walked out on his own, and Changgen asked Laishun to watch the stove, and ran out after him.

It wasn't dark outside yet, it just looked dark.

"Chang Gen, what are you doing here?" Father Xu asked.

"Master, I also want to squat in a pit."

With Changgen following, Xu Fugui was not worried, he walked back and forth in the room, playing with Youqing in his arms.

Fengxia sat next to Laishun and lit the fire with him. Since returning to the village, her little hands were always dirty.

"Fengxia, help me boil more water, dad wants to take a bath."

Feng Xia tilted her head and glanced at him, then picked up a piece of firewood and put it into the stove fire, the light of the fire reflected the wall behind into a fiery red.

"What kind of bath do you take on the first day of the new year?" Mother Xu muttered as she sat in front of the stove to warm herself up.

"I haven't washed it for many days, and I feel uncomfortable. Besides, I don't believe it."

The bath water boiled quickly, so Xu Fugui took out the wooden bucket, poured the bath water into it, and then went to the sheep pen in the yard outside.

He took off all his clothes, and when the cold wind blew, he shivered immediately, and hurriedly poured hot water on his body.

I took out the soap locusts I bought in the county, felt the foam in my palm, and wiped it vigorously on my body. While wiping, my teeth trembled, and the tip of my nose was still mixed with the smell of chicken and sheep dung, which was unspeakably miserable.

The sleeping sheep on the side were awakened and bleated a few words.

No, since there is nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, I have to build a place to take a bath.

It can block the wind and isolate the peculiar smell.

It's okay for him to be a big man taking a bath in the sheep pen, so Jiazhen and Fengxia can't be wronged.

It was cold and smelly, and if someone passed by, they had to shrink their necks for fear of being noticed.
