Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 13
Naturally, Qiao Yun didn't know about the conversation between Aunt Wang and her man, and she had already returned to Qi's house with the wooden basin in hand.Qiaoyun didn't go in directly, but went around to the back of Qi's yard, and then found a bush, and carefully hid the duck eggs.

After the duck eggs were hidden, Qiao Yun walked back to the gate with the wooden basin in hand.As soon as she entered the door, Qiaoyun quickly shook off all the clothes in the wooden tub, and then hung them to dry on the hemp rope that had been stretched in the yard.Qiaoyun moved swiftly, and within a few strokes, all the clothes were dried.

At this time, she didn't care to bring the wooden basin into the house, first went to the top of the firewood stack, hugged a large armful of fine firewood that had been chopped, and hurried into the house to the stove pit, took flint and velvet, and lit it. Akiko lit the fire.The fire here had just been lit, and before the pot was hot, she freed her hands to wash her face.

After washing it with cold water twice, the pot over there was already hot, so Qiao Yun hurriedly cleaned the pot, then added clean water, and started cooking porridge.

I don't know what year it was, there was no corn, only millet and sorghum.Rice can be grown in the village, but it is fine grain, and the family can only eat it once during the New Year and holidays. Usually, sorghum rice is used to cook porridge.

But this sorghum rice is hard, it takes a lot of fire, and it won't be boiled for a while.So Qiaoyun soaks sorghum rice in advance at night, so that it can be easily boiled the next morning.While looking at the fire at the bottom of the pot, Qiaoyun casually threw a piece of firewood in, and at the same time scooped the sorghum rice soaked last night into the pot.

The sorghum rice was boiled in the east pot, and Qiaoyun also heated up the west pot, and added two ladles of water to the pot.When the water boiled, she had already scooped out the sorghum noodles. Just as the water in the pot was boiling, Qiaoyun scooped up the water directly and poured it into the basin to warm the noodles.Sorghum noodles are relatively loose, and they cannot be grouped together to stick pancakes without being heated.

Now it's spring plowing season, Mrs. Liu said, men are tired from work, so they can't just use sorghum noodles, but add some buckwheat noodles to it.So Qiaoyun mixed the sorghum noodles, scooped up some buckwheat noodles, mixed them in, and mixed them with some cold water.

Some water was added to the pot again, and then the pot curtain tied with sorghum stalks was taken and placed in the pot.Then Qiaoyun balled the dough with her hands, gently and delicately formed into a round shape, and then firmly stuck it to the side of the pot.The dough sticks to the pot without slipping down, just sticking to it honestly.

These tasks, because of the memory of the original owner, Qiaoyun did it very skillfully and swiftly, and it didn't take long for pancakes to be pasted around the pot.Then I put the lid on the pot and looked at the fire at the bottom of the pot. I felt that it was not enough, so I threw two more pieces into it.

At this time, the porridge in the east pot was already boiling, so Qiao Yun hurriedly moved the lid of the pot a little to prevent the porridge inside from splashing into the pot.The porridge pot has already been boiled, so there is no need for too much fire, just a small fire and a slow gurgling will do.Qiaoyun looked at the fire at the bottom of the pot and thought it should be about the same, so he stopped adding firewood to the bottom of the pot.

Before the calculation was over, Qiaoyun quickly went to the pickle tank to fish out two pieces of pickle lumps.After rinsing it twice with water, take it to the chopping board, cut it into strips with a kitchen knife, put it on a plate, and put it on the table in the outer room.

After Qiaoyun finished all this, the sky outside brightened up a lot. At this time, the breakfast was basically prepared, and there was only time left to serve it and eat it.Qiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the house, went to the barn to find the back basket and small pick, and went out.

I must take advantage of this time to dig some wild vegetables and come back to feed the two pigs at home.Otherwise, when Mrs. Liu gets up later and sees that the pig food has not been brought back, she will be beaten and scolded again.

Qiaoyun has been here for more than ten days, except for the first two days when she was unable to work in the fields because of a head injury, the rest of the time, these things at home and outside the house were all done by Qiaoyun.Qiaoyun also understood a long time ago that in this Qi family, she is just a servant picked up by others, and she works non-stop every day. Even so, she is beaten from time to time, and she still can't get enough to eat.

"Work hard, I must work hard to find a way to take care of my health and save some money. As long as I have these two things ready, I don't want to stay here. I can't live in this Qi family for one more day." Qiao Yun As he walked, he muttered.

The village is in the mountains, and there are many wastelands and forests nearby, where there are all kinds of wild vegetables.Pigweed itself doesn't need to be too particular, as any wild vegetable can be used, so this job doesn't take much effort. After a while, Qiaoyun dug up a basket of wild vegetables casually.

There is a small ditch beside the road, Qiaoyun just found a place to wash the wild vegetables.It's not as convenient as this when you go home to wash, and then you have to carry dirty water out.Anyway, it is eaten by pigs, so you don't need to be too particular, just wash it casually.In fact, there was no pollution in the small mountain village at this time. Even though it was just a small ditch, the water quality was also very good.

After the wild vegetables were cleaned, they were put back into the basket, and Qiaoyun hurried home with the basket on her back.At this time, I'm afraid that Liu Shi and the others have all got up to eat, and if they don't go back, they probably won't have any food for her.

Sure enough, when they returned to the Qi family, everyone in the Qi family had already woken up, and they were gathering around the table to prepare for dinner. "Mother, Qiaoyun is being lazy again, so I just dug up the wild vegetables at this time." When Qi Xiumei saw Qiaoyun coming back, her face immediately changed, and she gave Qiaoyun a few vicious glances.

"Don't you hurry up and eat the pigs? What time is this? The pigs are hungry. Lazy girl, all day long, if you are asked to work, you will be lazy, and if you are lazy, you will never even think about eating. " Qi Xiumei said while staring at Qiaoyun.

Qiaoyun was stunned for a moment, she hadn't been idle since she woke up this morning, and by this time her stomach was already screaming with hunger, "Mom?" Qiaoyun called out tentatively.

"You didn't hear what your sister said? Hurry up and eat the pig food, what time is this? Hurry up and eat the pig food and feed the pigs." Mrs. Liu also gave Qiaoyun a sharp look, and said in an evil voice.

　2016 is here, and I wish all those who read books a happy new year, good luck and good luck in the new year.
