The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 18 The Great Lunch

After taking the gypsum powder, Yunmo didn't dare to delay, so she hurried out of Qiu's courtyard and hurried back to the thatched hut.

In the stove, Yun Xiaotong was sitting on a small bench, holding the tongs in his little hand, looking at the fire in the stove seriously, and there was nothing wrong.

Yunmo turned into the stove and saw that he was sweating profusely from the fire, his face was flushed red by the firelight, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, so he quickly put down the gypsum powder, walked to the stove in a few steps, and took a few steps from his hand. Li took the tongs and said: "Tongtong, you move the bench to the door to cool off first, and mother can just watch the fire by herself."

Xiao Douding was indeed too hot, so he didn't hold back his mouth, and smiled sweetly at Yunmo, and moved the small bench to a ventilated place.

Yunmo chopped a few pieces of firewood and stuffed them into the stove, then balled them up with tongs, set up the pieces of firewood burning in the stove, and slowly simmered the mink meat in the pot over medium heat.

The pot was covered, and the pot was bubbling and bubbling, and the stewing was loud, and white hot air came out from the gap of the pot cover, carrying the aroma of meat.

Yun Xiaotong sat at the air vent, watching Yunmo work without blinking.

The hot air overflowed from the pot and immediately drifted into the air. Xiao Douding sniffed, then swallowed, "Mother, the mink meat smells so good."

Yunmo was using a broken pottery bowl to make plaster water. Hearing the sound of Xiaodouding swallowing, she turned her head and smiled slightly. Immediately, her mother's love overflowed, "Mmm, it's very fragrant. I'll give Tongtong a leg to eat later."

The gypsum powder turned into water and clarified for a while, Yunmo took the upper layer of clear water, poured it evenly into the wooden basin, and then stirred it a few times with chopsticks.

The green tofu slurry and gypsum water were mixed together, and after a while, it slowly condensed into a paste. After waiting for a while, Yunmo reached out and pressed it into the basin, and the emerald green tofu cubes bounced , knotted tightly.

After the Guanyin tofu was finished, she picked up a handful of wild peppers from the bamboo sieve, put them in a pottery bowl, and brought them to the stove. Taking advantage of the charcoal in the stove, she picked up the green wild peppers with tongs and handed them to the stove. Roast for a while, until the wild pepper is roasted and flattened, exuding a pungent spicy smell, and then it is taken out of the stove.

"Ah, Ah..."

The pungent spicy smell wafted out of the stove, causing Yun Xiaotong to sneez several times in succession, his nose twitched, clear snot flowed out, and his expression was very uncomfortable.

While roasting the peppers, Yunmo turned her head to look at him, and saw his face wrinkled.

"Tongtong, this wild pepper is very spicy, cover your nose quickly."

It was only then that she remembered that Xiao Douding can't eat chili peppers, and the chili peppers made by this wild pepper are extremely spicy, and many adults can't stand it.

Yun Xiaotong nodded her head, and quickly covered her nose with her two small hands, "Mother, don't feel bad anymore."

Yunmo washed the roasted and wilted wild pepper, chopped it together with a few wild peppers, and made it into green chili sauce. Later, he would use this green chili sauce to mix with Guanyin tofu. It was spicy and delicious.

As soon as the fire was burnt out, the mink meat in the pot was almost ready.

Yunmo put the ready-made green chili sauce into a bowl, and then lifted the lid of the pot. The broken wooden pot lid was just half removed, and a hot steam rose from the pot. The steam dispersed, and the smell of meat overflowed, bringing There is a smell of pepper and numbness, which is more fragrant than before.

Yun Xiaotong smelled the fragrance, his stomach was rumbling happily, he just felt hungrier than before.

"Mother, is the stewed mink meat ready?" He stood up from the small bench and walked to Yunmo's side with his thin legs.

Yunmo lifted the lid of the pot and stood it under the wall beside him, then picked up the spatula, picked out a piece of meat from the soup and looked at it, the bones and meat had been stewed and separated.

"Well, it's already stewed."

"Tongtong, go wash your hands and face, let's have dinner right away."

"Okay." Yun Xiaotong sweetly agreed, without Yunmo's help, went to get the gourd ladle to scoop up water, and washed his hands and face, very well-behaved and sensible.

Yunmo considered that Xiaodouding can't eat spicy food, but Guanyin tofu is tasteless without spicy food, so he took a kitchen knife, cut a piece out of the basin, held the piece of tofu with the palm of his hand, and cut it Cut into small cubes and throw in the broth to cook.

Guanyin tofu stewed in broth, small beans are edible and nutritious.

After putting Guanyin tofu into the soup, Yunmo cut another bowl of tofu cubes, which will be mixed with green pepper sauce later.

The broth was boiled and brought into the room, the mother and daughter sat face to face at the broken wooden table, after a whole morning of busy work, they could finally have a mouthful of steaming food.

Yunmo scooped up a bowl of broth, added a few pieces of Guanyin tofu, and a few pieces of mink meat, and handed it to Yun Xiaotong, "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn it."

"Mother, you can eat too, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself." Yun Xiaotong lay on the table, blowing on the hot soup in the bowl, with a happy smile on her face.

After blowing for a while, he pursed his mouth and took a sip of the soup, then raised his head, looked at Yunmo, his eyes lit up, "Mother, this soup is delicious, it's so fragrant and fresh."

After speaking, he tasted another piece of Guanyin tofu and took a bite of mink meat.

"This green tofu is also delicious, smooth and tender."

"This mink meat is also delicious and fragrant."

Seeing Yun Xiaotong chattering non-stop while eating, Yunmo looked cute and smart, pursed the corners of his lips, and smiled.

"Tongtong, eat slowly, don't talk, and be careful of choking."

In fact, this stewed mink meat is oil-free and salt-free, and it can barely satisfy the hunger. How can Xiao Douding be as delicious and delicious as Xiao Douding said?

After lunch, Yunmo cleaned up the kitchen.

Seeing that there was still a lot of mink meat left, and Guanyin tofu was also made, he scooped up a large bowl of mink meat, cut a large piece of Guanyin tofu, and prepared to send it to Qiu's house.

After packing up the things and putting them in the bamboo basket, he waved to Yun Xiaotong, "Tongtong, let's go to congratulate Grandma's house."

"Mother, are you going to deliver Guanyin tofu to Grandma He's house?" Yun Xiaotong ran over quickly.

Yunmo hung the bamboo basket on her wrist, took Yun Xiaotong's little hand with the other hand, and said with a smile, "Tongtong, you remember, congratulations, grandma, Aunt Qiuyue often takes care of our family, and our family has good things. Naturally, I have to worry about Grandma He, Aunt Qiuyue, you know?"

"Yeah, I remember." Yun Xiaotong nodded, "Mother, this is what you said, you should know how to repay your kindness, right?"

"Yes, Tongtong is really smart, you are absolutely right."
