Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 7 Cooked and Baked

A pick of potatoes, the two of them can eat it for a long time.

But Liu Qingcao is not only for eating, she also wants to sell and grow it.

"Sister, I'm going to light the fire." Liu Jiangbei happily ran to the kitchen stool and sat down.

Liu Qingcao brought flint, ignited the fire, and left the place for Liu Jiangbei. The crock on the stove was mostly filled with water, and boiled for a while to drink.

There was still a charcoal fire in the firepit of the pottery kiln. Liu Qingcao went to the basket and took eight medium-sized potatoes, brushed off the rotten leaves on them, washed them, and threw them in. The temperature in the firepit was just right for cooking potatoes.

The water in the pot boiled, Liu Qingcao wrapped it in a cloth and picked it up, poured the boiling water into the bamboo tube.

In the past few days, under the guidance of his sister, Liu Jiangbei no longer drinks raw water, so the siblings have to boil a can of boiling water every day and put it in a bamboo tube to keep it cold.

After the water in the pot was poured out, Liu Qingcao made another pot, put it on the stove, went out of the kitchen, picked ten small potatoes from the basket, washed them, and put them in the pot to cook.

Eating roasted potatoes for lunch and boiled potatoes for dinner, no one is living a life like this.

When the potatoes in the clay pot are cooked, the potatoes in the firepit are also cooked.

Liu Qingcao took a fire stick and pulled out four round, flat, black potato strips.

Potatoes just out of the firepit are not usually hot. Liu Qingcao suffered a lot when she was a child, and now she won't suffer again.

Liu Jiangbei squatted aside, holding a small wooden stick and poking it from time to time.

Liu Qingcao raised her eyebrows, thinking that this younger brother is still smart, unlike when she was a child, she just got started and burned like a monkey on the spot.

When the potatoes were warming up, Liu Qingcao picked up a potato and tapped the ashes on the ground, peeling off the black layer on the surface, revealing the golden color inside, with hot air and a tangy aroma.

"Jiangbei, take it, take small bites, don't choke, there is water in the kitchen, just drink it with the water."

"Thank you sister." Liu Jiangbei ran into the kitchen with the peeled potatoes, sat on the stool, and ate small bites, like a little mouse meeting cheese, enjoying it very much.

Seeing Liu Jiangbei eating happily, Liu Qingcao also felt a sense of accomplishment.

She picked up a slightly mushy potato, peeled it off, and put it in her mouth.

"Delicious, really fragrant."

This potato is delicious, rich in flavor and soft, which is incomparable to modern potatoes.

After Liu Jiangbei finished eating one, he took another, wanting to eat again, Liu Qingcao gave the small potatoes boiled in the clay pot.

He should be full after eating two small potatoes, but he might not be able to eat one big potato.

This meal, Liu Qingcao and Liu Jiangbei were extremely satisfied.

Save the remaining potatoes for dinner, and add some bamboo shoots and fish soup, this meal is still good.

After lunch, Liu Qingcao arranged for Liu Jiangbei to wash the potatoes. The potatoes that had just been dug up had a lot of black rotten leaves on them, and they wouldn't last long without washing and drying.

The temperature in the pottery kiln is cold, and the big pottery vat can be taken out.

Open the lid, and a large pottery jar stood intact in the kiln. Liu Qingcao spent a lot of effort to get it in in the morning. Now that she got it out, she had to ask Liu Jiangbei to give her a little effort to relieve her. Slow down.

The two siblings carefully took it out, checked it carefully, and found no small cracks, and then worked together to move the pot into the kitchen.

With a large container, they can use it for several days after filling a tank of water, so they don't have to run around again and again.

There is also a large pottery vat, Liu Qingcao plans to fire the kiln tomorrow morning, and it is almost done, so she will go to the town by herself, leaving Liu Jiangbei to watch at home.

This afternoon, Liu Qingcao and Liu Jiangbei were busy washing potatoes, fetching water, collecting firewood, and softening the newly washed bedding...

Anyway, it's busy around.

Until the sky turned yellow, Liu Qing hastily prepared dinner.

Liu Jiangbei has been busy for a long time, and he is also very hungry. He ate more than noon. If he hadn't burned eight more potatoes, he would have to get up early to cook tomorrow morning.

After eating enough, Liu Qingcao washed Liu Jiangbei and urged him to go to bed, while she put away the breakfast for tomorrow morning and moved the big pottery jar into the kiln.

The amount of activity today is not small, and I will definitely be sore when I wake up tomorrow. I am afraid it will be difficult to move in.
