I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 88

Zhou Chenyu looked at it rolling on the ground and couldn't control his snoring. He grabbed its head and stroked it, "Oh, you are so cute. Whose dog is so cute! It's ours Little soybeans, right?"

Hearing her compliments, Little Huangdou barked twice happily, lying on the ground and rolling even more happily.

Looking at its white belly, Zhou Chenyu squatted down and touched the fat on its belly with his palms. He picked it up and rubbed it. It was soft and warm like waves in the sea.

She smiled, "Little Huangdou, I haven't played with you for a few days, why are you so fat?"

Little Huangdou seemed to understand Zhou Chenyu's words. He sat up and shook the yellow hair on his body. The hair on his body exploded like a Samoyed. His golden tail was rolled up and his clever eyes stared at Zhou Chen. fish.

"Oh, why aren't you happy when I called you fat? OK, OK, OK, I won't say anything about you, and I won't say it again, okay?"

Zhou Chenyu held up his chin and pretended not to look at it. His soy-bean eyes looked elsewhere. When it wasn't paying attention, Zhou Chenyu suddenly turned his head and got close to the big face.

As if Huang Dou knew that she was playing with him, he kicked off his legs and ran a few steps away, then wagging his tail, he sneaked up to Zhou Chenyu and sat down obediently.

Zhou Chenyu tilted his head to the left to look at it, and its head also tilted to the left. Zhou Chenyu turned to the right, and it also learned to look to the right. The silly scene looked very funny.

Zhou Chenyu played with Huangdou for a while, then heard the sound of dishes being put into the pot from the kitchen, "Okay, you can go and play by yourself."

She stood up and walked to the kitchen window. Li Xiuju was standing in the stove filled with fireworks. The fat and thin pork in the pot had been fried until it was brown, and the lard made a splashing sound.

Li Xiuju poured the whole pot of peeled potatoes into it and stir-fried it with a large shovel to add the flavor. The light yellow egg-like potatoes were mixed with lard, giving the surface an attractive color.

Then, pour well water to cover the potatoes, then simmer over high heat for half an hour until the water soup becomes thick and the potatoes burst when poked, then sprinkle in the chopped green onions to adjust the color. Remove from the pan.

"It smells so good." Baoyu stared at the soft brown potatoes and swallowed. He couldn't help it anymore and wanted to eat one despite the heat.

The potatoes that had just come out of the pot were much hotter than he thought. Holding them in his mouth felt like holding a piece of hot coal, "Hoo-ho, hot, hot, hot."

Li Xiuju scolded him, "You deserve it, kid!"

Zhou Chenyu also imitated Li Xiuju’s accent, “Yes!”

Baoyu held the potato in his mouth, unable to swallow it, and couldn't speak. He stared at them with wide eyes, and then arrogantly served the potato braised meat to the table.

Lean meatballs tend to be undercooked due to their thick meat and short cooking time, so the raw meatballs are the first to be put into the pot and cooked.When I first put it down, all the meatballs sank to the bottom of the soup. After the potato braised meat was ready, the cooked meatballs had also floated to the surface.

Li Xiuju skimmed off the foam on the water and sprinkled it into the tender green cabbage picked from the vegetable garden. The tender cabbage leaves were cooked after being scalded for a few times with the boiling soup. Finally, a small spoonful of salt was added to create a delicious broth. The taste comes out.

"I haven't eaten mother's food for a few days. I can finally satisfy my craving tonight. I'm not welcome."

Baoyu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and potatoes, opened his mouth wide and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it with a puffed-up face, "This is the taste. It tastes much better than what I eat at work."

Zhou Chenyu tried twice to pick up the potato but couldn't get it, so he inserted the chopsticks in anxiously.Potatoes are mini versions of potatoes.

Although it looked the same to Zhou Chenyu, it tasted much different.The potatoes I had eaten before all tasted pink, but the ones here tasted waxy and particularly fragrant.

"Yeah, it's delicious." Zhou Chenyu picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Xiuju saw that both children had rice in their bowls and had no time to drink meatball soup.It will cool down after a while.

She turned around and went into the kitchen and took out two more bowls. She filled two bowls of soup and pushed them in front of them. "The potatoes are blocking your throat. Drink a few mouthfuls of soup to feel better. Don't just eat the braised meat here. These meatballs are also have eaten."

There were both meatballs and tender green cabbage in the soup. Zhou Chenyu agreed and immediately picked up a meatball and ate it.

The meatballs made at home are different. There is no flour at all. When you bite into it, it is all thick meat. Moreover, they are all made by yourself. You don’t have to worry about the hygienic and health issues of rat meat, lymph meat, etc.

After finishing a mouthful of meatballs full of meat, I had another mouthful of tender green cabbage soup, which was just the right thing to relieve my tiredness.

Zhou Chenyu ate three potatoes and drank a whole bowl of meatball soup. His stomach felt like it could no longer hold anything, and he leaned back comfortably on the armchair.

Baoyu kept talking, "Sister, are you ready to eat now?"

"No, let me rest for a while first, and then eat after I have rested enough."

Zhou Chenyu touched his full belly, and Li Xiuju bit into half of the meatballs and looked at her: "How many days are left until the Tang Mansion's housewarming party?"

Zhou Chenyu calculated the time and replied: "There are still three days."

"There's no rush. You don't have to do anything for these three days. Just rest at home and recharge your batteries. Only when you're well rested can you have the energy to work." Li Xiuju said, but Baoyu couldn't interrupt and held the edge of his rice bowl. Eat and listen.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Zhou Chenyu shook his head, "Tomorrow and the next two days, I have to go to the Tang Mansion to learn the rules for one day, and then go to the market with the servants to purchase the corresponding ingredients the next day. After purchasing the ingredients, the banquet will be held I had to live there the day before."

"What a rush?" Li Xiuju thought for a while and agreed: "The housewarming banquet of the Tang Dynasty is a big event. All the people attending the banquet are big shots from Qingshui Town and even the surrounding towns. It is estimated that there will be hundreds of people in total. It is better to be cautious. . Mom will pack your clothes in the next two days, you can take them and leave."

"Yeah, okay." Zhou Chenyu smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Knowing that Zhou Chenyu would be very busy in the next few days, after dinner, Zhou Chenyu was rushed back to the room to rest early by Li Xiuju.

Throughout the day, Zhou Chenyu rushed to meet Chen Tongsheng before dawn. After meeting Feng Chuli, she confirmed her place in the competition. She then followed the Tang family's servants to the market to buy the ingredients needed for the sugar water. After buying everything, , not daring to rest for a moment, hurried back to Tang Mansion and started making sugar water, and got into a dispute with two despicable men in the process.

Thinking back on this day, Zhou Chenyu was lying on the bed, as busy as a donkey, her legs and feet were paralyzed, but she thought that if she survived these few days, she would be able to get two years' salary.

Whoever doesn’t do it is stupid!
Zhou Chenyu rubbed his weak arms, yawned heavily, and murmured: "When I get the small amount of money, I will definitely give myself a long vacation, sleep well, and treat myself to a delicious meal. This will It’s not like I’m wasting my hard-earned money.”
