Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 13

After Zhao Caifeng left, Song Mingxuan took the book and went to the kitchen at the back. Grandma Chen saw Song Mingxuan coming with a book, so she hurriedly said: "Why did you come here to cause trouble? I will call you when you are done." Come over to eat, while Brother Bao is still asleep, go read some more books."

Song Mingxuan also understands grandma's kindness, but it's too dark to read the words on the book, so he said: "The room is dark, so it's not as bright as the stove. I came here to read a book. If you're old, take a rest for a while." .”

After hearing what Song Mingxuan said, Grandma Chen understood, she just gave up the small bench she was sitting on, pointed to the side and said, "Come and sit here, I don't need you to light the fire, and you don't know how to cook, wait a while." , Wash the vegetables that your mother cut back in the morning, chop them up and boil them together, add some salt, and it’s done, you watch the fire here, I’ll go outside to wash the vegetables.”

At the moment, rice can’t be grown in the north. People say that the porridge in their mouths is millet porridge. People with better conditions can eat white flour, and use white flour to make steamed buns and steamed buns, and drink a bowl of hot soup. , that is also a happy thing.People with poor conditions can’t afford white noodles, so they can only eat millet porridge. This millet was grown in their own fields in the past. Because there was no wheat to sell for a price, they kept it for themselves. It can be regarded as overcoming difficulties.

Zhao Caifeng returned to her home, and saw Mrs. Yang kneading cornmeal on the stove. A pot of hot water was boiled on the stove. It seemed that she planned to open meat for their family today and let the children eat Wowotou.In fact, when they came back today, besides cornmeal, they also bought some flour, but Zhao Caifeng also saw the price of the flour and the cornmeal, so Yang didn't know how long the flour would be hidden by Yang!

Sure enough, the whole family ate steamed buns tonight. Yang’s craftsmanship is good. Although the ancient noodles are really thick, the steamed buns made by Yang’s are really similar to the thick grain steamed buns bought in the supermarket before. It's just that Zhao Caifeng ate these to lose weight in the past, but now it's just to fill his stomach.

Yang made about [-] steamed buns, enough for his family to eat for several days, and they lined up on the stove, which looked quite spectacular.But the buns are too hard after all, not suitable for Zhao Caidie who has not yet fully grown teeth, so Yang boiled the buns with hot water alone, and carefully fed Zhao Caidie beside her.

Zhao Caifeng has a small stomach now, and she will be full after eating a bun. When she was about to wash the dishes, she was stopped by Mrs. Yang and said, "Caifeng, go to the rice trough in the utility room next door and see See if there is any wheat left?"

Zhao Caifeng saw it yesterday when she went to pick up the millet, and there was about a fist-deep of wheat underneath, although Zhao Caifeng didn't know how to eat the wheat, but since Mrs. Yang asked, she replied: "It's still about a fist deep. "

Yang just sighed and said: "Go to Wa Yisheng, I will pound it in a while, and then I will mix it with the good flour I bought with a fist, and I will make it up in a while, and I can make noodles for you tomorrow morning. "

Zhao Caifeng understood what Yang meant, so she went to the utility room next to the kitchen to bring a liter of wheat.The Zhao family had a mortar, which Zhao Caifeng knew, she had seen it in history books before, but she didn't quite understand how to use it.Yang motioned for her to come over and hug Zhao Caidie to continue feeding, while she went to the corner, found a wooden stake with stones embedded in the bottom, and began to pound the wheat.

In fact, Zhao Caifeng has studied the wooden stake for a long time, but never thought of its use for this. Only now when she saw Mrs. Yang use it, did she know that this thing was for this purpose.But Mrs. Yang is a woman after all, and the stones falling under the wooden stake must be very heavy, but after pounding for a hundred times, sweat was already falling on her forehead.Seeing that Zhao Caifeng felt sorry, she asked Zhao Wu to take Zhao Caidie outside to play after eating, and she thought of helping Yang.

Mrs. Yang is not too polite, now there is only such an adult girl, she can rely on who else, so she handed the pound in her hand to Zhao Caifeng, Zhao Caifeng did not expect this thing to be so heavy. When it was firmly connected, the whole body felt as if it was about to be poured into the mortar.Zhao Wen on the side looked amused, so he laughed.Zhao Caifeng glanced at Zhao Wen, although she was a fool, but her limbs were very well developed, she simply waved to him and said, "Second brother, come here, take this stick and smash it into this mortar, smash this wheat into fine grains. The powder, we will have breakfast tomorrow morning, if we don’t smash it finely, then we won’t have breakfast.”

Seeing Zhao Caifeng saying this to Zhao Wen, Mrs. Yang just smiled and said, "Why do you coax him, he might not understand?"
