Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 13 Only Half a Tank of Oil

"Second Sister..." Liu Shu looked at the steamed bun Liu Ya handed to him, wondering whether he should take it or not.

"It's okay, Liu Shu, eat. But remember, this is the last time we pick up something from the ground to eat. From now on, Second Sister will definitely let you live a good life." Liu Ya said very seriously.

"Is there any white flour steamed buns to eat? Is there any meat?" Liu Shu took the steamed buns from Liu Ya's hand and took a big bite.

"Yes. Shu'er has everything she wants to eat. Our house will always have fish, meat, and seafood." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she went to the kitchen, poured a bowl of water for Liu Shu, and told him: "Don't choke, eat slowly."

But Liu Shu swallowed the steamed bun in a hurry, and asked Liu Ya: "What is seafood?"

"It's the prawns and abalones in the sea, as well as sea cucumbers and shark fins." Liu Ya explained to Liu Shu.

"In the sea? I've only heard of a kind of fish in the sea. It's very big and can eat people. What kind of sea cucumber is the second sister talking about? I've only heard of ginseng."

As Liu Shu asked each sentence, Liu Ya's heart became more and more sour, but she still patiently explained to Liu Shu one by one: "There are many kinds of fish in the sea, and the big ones are bigger than our house, called whales. Sharks eat people, but shark fins are very delicious. Sea cucumbers are a type of mollusk in the sea, with high nutritional value..."

Liu Shu was fascinated by what he heard, and his eyes were full of surprise and longing.

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya touched Liu Shu's head, and said to him: "When Shu'er grows up, let's go outside for a walk and have a look. The world is really big, and there are many things you haven't seen or seen. Things that I have heard. Only when you have seen more, can you broaden your horizons and have a better life."

"But, Second Sister, how do you know this?" Liu Shu finally asked such a question that made Liu Ya feel headache.

Liu Ya stopped, and finally smiled helplessly, and lied to Liu Shu: "When the second sister was stupid, she dreamed all day long. Then she dreamed that an old fairy said these words to me, and said many, many interesting things. Willow, maybe what the second sister said is wrong, and the old god may not know the most. Second sister, when you grow up, go and see for yourself, and then come back and tell the second sister, okay?"

"Well, good. Second sister, I'll take you with me in the future." After Liu Shu finished speaking, she patted her small chest.

Seeing Liu Shu's promise to her, Liu Ya felt unusually warm in her heart.This is a rare kind of family affection, and it makes Liu Ya feel that it is more sincere than any sweet words and vows of eternal love.

Liu Shu was sitting on the small bench in the kitchen, eating steamed buns, imagining infinitely the animals Liu Ya told her about, the beautiful and vast sea.

Seeing Liu Shu's intoxicated and wandering face, Liu Ya smiled, thinking that children are really easy to coax.

"Gulu" Liu Ya's stomach made a protest.Liu Ya looked at the steamed bun in Liu Shu's hand, and went to the stove to see if there was anything to eat.

Liu Ya'er's body was too thin, Liu Ya felt that if she wanted to mobilize the family, she had to mobilize her own body first.

But "people are iron, food is steel", the most urgent thing to do is to sacrifice to the temple of the five viscera first.

But in such a poor family, the brown rice in the rice tank has bottomed out, only a basket of wild vegetables in the basket, and some yam eggs that I don’t know when to dig.

It's not that Liu Ya has never eaten wild vegetables. When she was doing the killer training, the limit of survival in the wild was in a desolate virgin forest, and she walked alone for 23 days with only a paratrooper knife.So she is not against wild vegetables.

But now this is her home after all, so she can't just chew wild vegetable leaves all day long like living in the wild.

Liu Ya saw that there were still embers in the stove, so she added some thin firewood to ignite the fire.Boil another half pot of water, then pour the washed wild vegetables into the pot, boil the water for a while, then remove them, and soak them in cold water.

Seeing Liu Ya busy at the stove, Liu Shu leaned over and asked curiously, "Second Sister, do you want to cook?"

"Yeah, I'm hungry too." Liu Ya turned her head after speaking, and saw Liu Shu's eyes full of doubts looking at her.

"Hey, Liu Shu, what kind of look is that in your eyes? Wait for the second sister to finish the meal, and you will lose your teeth if you taste it." Liu Ya is not boasting, and her cooking skills are not so good.

It may be because killers themselves have a sense of crisis, so when Liu Ya has no tasks, what she likes most is the peaceful and simple days.All the holidays will be nestled in her own small home, thinking about how to cook the most delicious food to reward her stomach. After going back and forth, her cooking skills are so good that she can participate in food programs.

Of course, it is impossible to treat these wild vegetables and yam eggs as delicate ingredients to make an original ecological meal.Because modern cuisine pays attention to matching, a wild vegetable may be paired with a few grams of truffles to enhance the taste.Truffles, one gram of truffle is more expensive than one gram of gold, so don't think about it in this poor family.

But to create an unusual taste, Liu Ya is still sure.Especially Liu Ya is absolutely sure that it tastes much better than the bowl of wild vegetable soup she drank before.

While thinking about it, Liu Ya scrubbed and washed the wok twice, scraping and cleaning the black paste that she didn't know what was fried before.

Just looking at the pots in the kitchen, Liu Ya knew that Liu Xu'er was not good at cooking.Otherwise, the residue in this pot will not be this color.

"Shu'er, where is the oil?" Liu Ya turned around and asked.Then he said: "Shu'er, you are responsible for helping the second sister. Prepare everything for me."

"Oh, good." After Liu Shu finished speaking, he put the steamed bun in his hand aside, and followed behind Liu Ya, ready to obey the command.

"Well, first of all, oil, salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and monosodium glutamate..."

"Second Sister, what is MSG?" Liu Shu looked up at Liu Ya with a confused face.

"Huh? Oh, I was wrong, there is no this. Just put the others here in order.

Liu Ya quickly waved her hands.How could she have forgotten, this is already ancient times and there is no MSG.

But after Liu Ya finished speaking, Liu Shu only took one small, one large two jars and placed them by the stove, then stared at her blankly.

"What's the matter? Nothing else?" Liu Ya looked at Liu Shu's eyes and understood most of it.Look again at the two pots Willow has placed by the hearth.If she guessed right, the smaller jar contained salt and the larger jar contained oil.

But Liu Ya didn't expect that she still guessed wrong.When she opened the large jar, it was half a jar of off-white grainy salt.It's all coarse salt, the coarsest kind.

And the jar that was only bigger than a fist contained rapeseed oil, and it was only half a jar.
