Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 20
After a while, Mu Xiang watched that the soup in the small pot was almost collected, and the mushrooms were also dyed a sauce color by the juice of soy sauce.The stewing time is enough, the fat meat is soft, the soup is thick and fragrant.

"Caiyun, hurry up and take Mu Lang to wash your hands, we're ready for dinner," Mu Xiang urged Caiyun with a smile.

"Hey, let's go right away," Caiyun had been waiting for her words, stood up quickly and pulled Mu Lang out.

Mu Xiang found a small pot, filled it with pork belly and roasted mushrooms, covered the pot, put the small pot on the table, and lifted the lid of the big pot. When the lid was opened, the heat was blowing on her face, and she couldn't see it.Press the surface of the steamed stuffed bun with your hands. If the skin is elastic and not sticky, it means it has been steamed through.

Caiyun and Mu Lang washed their hands and came back soon. When Caiyun came in, she turned around and closed the door. It was getting dark outside. She ran into the back room and touched a very short candle stub. It was a candle that had been stored for a long time. , used for emergencies, but today I made an exception and used it.

Mu Xiang watched her running around lighting candles, and thought that there were still so many things to buy, and she had to go to the town again in a few days to buy an oil lamp so that it would not be dark at night.

When eating, Mu Xiang not only had to eat by herself, but also had to tell Mu Lang and Cai Yun all the time, because they ate so fast, I was afraid they would choke.

Mu Lang was the quickest eater, he finished one bun in three mouthfuls, and ate another bowl of braised pork, Mu Xiang became anxious and ordered him not to eat any more.It's not that she loves food, it's that they haven't eaten meat for a long time, and they ate too much at once, their stomachs can't stand it.

Caiyun had a smaller appetite, and after eating three steamed buns and a bowl of braised pork, she put the bowl down, wiped the oil from her mouth, rubbed her belly with unsatisfied desire, and yelled until she was too full.

Mu Xiang smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to drink water later, and you can't eat any more. Let's eat the leftovers at noon tomorrow. It won't spoil easily when cooked. Tomorrow morning, make gnocchi, but today I really can't eat any more!"

Caiyun understood what she meant, but began to worry, "Sister, did we eat too fast, or we still burn the corn paste in the morning, so save the flour, or it will be gone after eating."

Mu Lang was using steamed buns to wipe off the remaining soup on the bowl, when he heard the second sister's words, he nodded vigorously, with something in his mouth, he said vaguely: "Don't worry, eat it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow too! "

Mu Xiang wasn't going to tell them about earning 50 taels of silver. Mu Lang was simple-minded and Cai Yun was still young. Letting them know would be a burden instead. It's better not to know.So she just smiled and didn't speak anymore, let's take it slowly!Fatty is not made in one bite, he has to go step by step.

After eating, Caiyun rushed to light the fire, Muxiang took a simple bath, ran all the way, sweating all over, after taking a bath, hid the money in the wall again, then retracted into the clean bedding, Taking a deep breath, the muscles in his body stretched out, and he didn't want to move when he lay down.

With a full stomach, I fell asleep very heavily.But it sounds like it's too quiet outside, she should get a dog.It is very important to keep a dog in the countryside. It can guard the house and guard against theft at night. Tomorrow, she will ask Jin Ju to see which house has a puppy.

Mu Xiang was still thinking about tomorrow, thinking about it, she felt sleepy, and soon fell asleep.

When Caiyun came in with Mu Lang after washing, she saw that she had fallen asleep evenly, Caiyun stepped forward to cover her with the quilt softly, turned around and signaled Mu Lang to be quiet, so as not to wake up the elder sister.

Mu Lang kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the kang, knelt down in front of Mu Xiang, and looked at her seriously for a while.

At night in early autumn, occasionally mosquitoes come out to beg for blood.Mu Xiang was extremely tired, even if she was stung, she didn't want to move.

Mu Lang leaned forward to help her drive away the mosquitoes by the moonlight, but unfortunately the room was too dark, he couldn't hit her even if he wanted to, until Caiyun came to urge him to sleep, he dragged the quilt to lie next to Mu Xiang, stretched out his hand and grabbed the mosquito. Xiang's hand, feeling that the eldest sister is by her side, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

I had no dreams all night, and my stomach was full, so I slept very soundly.

On the second day, the sky was a bit gloomy. Mu Xiang looked at the sky and prayed that it would not rain for the next two days. The land that Li Dashan gave her hadn’t been plowed yet, so she had to dig it out quickly and sprinkle vegetables before it could rain. !

After breakfast, she was going to look for Wang Xi. He can plow the fields, and his family also has cattle. Mu Xiang wants to discuss with him to see if he can help turn the land out. Compared with manual labor, using ox plows Tian, ​​it will be much faster.

Mu Lang was squatting on the ground playing with ants, but seeing that she was about to go out, he quickly ran up to hold Mu Xiang's hand, "Sister, can I go out with you?"

Mu Xiang saw the longing in his eyes, so she nodded, "Okay, but Mu Lang has to promise me not to run around, you know?" Too willing to let him out.Mu Lang has a pure personality, if he is abducted by someone, it will be a disaster.

Xiaowa in the village often laughed at him and pointed at him.Caiyun also had no choice, she didn't want her brother to be bullied.

Seeing that the eldest sister is going to take Mu Lang out, Caiyun looks at Mu Lang worriedly.

Mu Xiang smiled and said to her: "He always has to grow up and go out, we can't lock him up forever, it's better to let him face it by himself, the more he stumbles, the better he will be. Go on steadily, don't you think so?"

Caiyun nodded darkly.Mu Lang listened for a while before he understood the conversation between the two of them. When he knew that he could go out, he clapped his hands and cheered happily, and pulled Mu Xiang to drag her outside.

Mu Xiang stopped him, "Wait a minute, I'll go get something," she agreed, she would return the needle and thread to Grandma Wang, she bought a lot yesterday, and she just brought it to Grandma Wang.Last night they almost ate up the buns, fried all the pork belly, and left some to heat up for lunch.

Mu Xiang originally planned to serve the roasted pork with mushrooms to Grandma Wang, but after thinking about it, Mu Lang has been looking forward to having lunch at noon since the morning, and she really can't bear to let him down.

After looking around, Mu Xiang could only scoop up some lard. She came back too late yesterday and was tired after eating, so she asked Caiyun to cut the lard into large pieces, marinate it with salt, and place it on the jar.

This is the method she learned in the farmhouse in her previous life. Use salted lard and put some in the oil pan when frying vegetables. It is the most fragrant.

Mu Xiang took a big plate and put lard on it, pulled Mu Lang, and went to Grandma Wang's house.This time I didn't take a shortcut, and it was not safe to walk on the field ridge with Mu Lang and something in my arms.
