Pastoral Chronicle of Space

Chapter 8
"Grandpa, it's time for dinner. I'll cook first, and you can clean up after eating!"

"Okay, it's better to love Grandpa dearly, you cook first, we are busy here too, or we won't be able to finish it in the dark."

"Okay, let's have a simple lunch at noon, and I will cook a few more dishes for you, grandpa, in the evening."

"Uncle, today we have a good fortune, thanks to your old age."

Tian Shouye ate Tian Tian's cooking yesterday, and the taste is probably something he will never forget in his life.There are delicious dishes again today, can you not be happy?As for Tian Mancang, he will know when he eats it.

In fact, Tian Tian's cooking skills are really average, but things with added space are different.Besides, in this era when it is difficult to eat meat, Tian Tian's simple modern home-cooked cooking method is considered exquisite workmanship. Whose meat is blanched?That little bit of blood foam is so heartbroken to death!Not to mention so many seasonings, it is conceivable how delicious it is to them.

Let's have a simple lunch for them to work on. Tian Tian warms up a large bowl of meat and vegetables left over from yesterday, and stir-fries sliced ​​mushroom meat with the leftover half plate of pickled cabbage fried meat in the morning.The staple food is a large bowl of millet porridge in the morning, plus a few handfuls of millet and a few sweet potatoes to boil, it is enough to go with the morning.After thinking about eating everything, make fresh dinner.

First wash the millet and wash the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are not peeled here, and Tian Tian can’t be different. Such a waste of food will be condemned.Small pieces of sweet potatoes and millet are boiled together in a pot.

The small stone is in charge of lighting the fire, while yesterday’s meat and vegetables are being heated on the other side. I cut a piece of yesterday’s meat, washed some mushrooms, and prepared them properly. The meat and vegetables are all heated through.Even though it was yesterday, it still looks good.Pour sauerkraut directly, stir-fry a few times out of the pan, then brush the pan, pour oil, stir-fry the meat when the oil is hot, add onion, ginger, garlic, pour mushrooms and stir-fry, add a little soy sauce, add a little water along the side of the pan, and then Season to taste, cover the pot and simmer for a while, so that the meat is more tender and tasty.

The millet porridge has been boiling for a while, and the millet has bloomed when scooped up with a spoon. Pour the morning porridge into the pot and cook together.

"Little Shitou, when the meal is ready, call grandpa and the others to eat!"

Xiao Shitou went to call someone, Tian Tian set the table with three dishes, and three big bowls of porridge, she and Xiao Shitou used small bowls.

The washed three plus small stones all came in.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? Eat quickly when the meal is ready. Uncle Shouye and Brother Mancang have worked hard. Eat quickly."

I'm really hungry, so I don't pay much attention to it. Everyone sits down and eats.

Tian Shouye just ate meat, and was very surprised to see the three dishes of meat on the table. Everyone in the village knew that his uncle's life was better, but it was just that he was not hungry.But looking at the three meat dishes on the table is like a dream. His family has never eaten like this during Chinese New Year, especially the big bowl full of braised pork cubes. How much meat is there!His family doesn't eat as much meat as this bowl in a year. This uncle loves the child too much.

After eating a piece of meat, there is no time to think about it, just eat.

They went to the backyard without delay after eating, Tian Tian cleaned up the kitchen and thought about what to have for dinner.

There is a cabbage washed in the morning in the kitchen, there are mushrooms, there are radishes in the backyard, and nothing else, go to the kitchen storage room to have a look.

Looking at Xiao Douding who was following behind him, he thought about not giving him candy today.

"Little Shitou, I'll give you sugar. I just finished eating, so you can eat later."

"I remember my sister."

Xiaodouding is small, but smart, sensible and well-behaved, he seldom goes out to play, children should go out and communicate with children more often.

"Little Shitou, my sister will give you two more candies, and I will give them to your best friend when you go out to play."

He took out two candies for him, but he didn't reach out, shook his head,
"Sister eats, grandpa eats"

It hurts at such a young age!
"My sister has it. I gave it to him in the evening from my grandfather. I gave it to my grandfather yesterday and the day before yesterday. Today, my sister will never forget it again."

"No, one a day."

"It's for your little friend, look..."

"No—"

Cough cough... I almost choked to death.

Well, if you don’t give it, you won’t give it, you have the final say, the little people have quite a personality.

There are still those things inside, but there is a small pile of things on the side of the sweet potato bag.This is what the old man brought back from the town in the morning, and he put it on the steps of the yard in a hurry. It seems that it was brought in by a small stone.

Open it, and there is a small bag of about ten catties of rice, and a small bag of three or four catties of flour. Wheat is not produced in the south, so flour is not easy to buy.This is not bad, many people can only eat pasta dumplings during the Chinese New Year, don't even think about it in normal times.There was also a piece of corn dregs, Tian Tian put the things back together a few times.

"Little Shitou is so powerful, he knows how to put food away, so smart."

The man just glanced at her and didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth twitched. It seemed that this compliment was quite useful to him, and the small sample would pretend to be deep.

There is nothing else to look at, I can’t just eat meat for dinner, I can’t bear it even thinking about it, there are no wild vegetables on the mountain this season, except for trees and bamboos.Bamboo, it's bamboo, bamboo shoots!

There is a large bamboo forest in front of the door, Tian Tian wants to see it.

After sending a pot of boiling water to the backyard, and telling the old man by the way, Tian Tian went out with a small stone to find bamboo shoots.

There is a large bamboo forest at the entrance, and beside the bamboo forest is a river more than ten meters wide, which has no name.The river flows down the entire Tianjiatang Village.

Tian Tian's family lives in the westernmost part of the village. There are more than 20 families in the village. Except for a few families from outsiders, the rest are named Tian.

On the opposite side of the river is a large area, from the foot of the mountain to the riverside are large rice fields. It is early autumn and September, and the rice will be harvested in one month.

The siblings lowered their heads and dug a basket of bamboo shoots in a short while. This kind of bamboo shoots is called square bamboo shoots. The roots of the bamboo shoots are square when pulled out, hence the name, and the taste is very sweet.

Don't ask how she knows so much, Tian Tian studied biology in her previous life, and also studied Chinese medicine since she was a child. She knows all these common plants.

The two went home with a basket of bamboo shoots, and met Zhang Xiaoli who came to play with Tian Tian at the door of the house.The Zhang family settled in the village more than ten years ago. The little girl was the same age as Tian Tian, ​​and she was a bit smart. The original owner didn't like to associate with her very much, but this little girl often came to the house to look for the original body.

The little girl is not as tall as Tian Tian, ​​she is thinner and has a yellowish complexion, she is wearing a blue gown, with two braids hanging on her chest, her eyes are rolling around on her thin face, she is looking up and down at Tian Tian and her brother, she is not honest peaceful.

No wonder the old man loves his granddaughter so much. He knows how to judge people at such a young age, and he is also a villain.

"Tiantian, I'm here to play with you, ah! You went to pull out the bamboo shoots, are you done eating so much? Your family is not short of food, why do you think of eating this? I also went to pull out the bamboo shoots yesterday, but I didn't pull them out. A few."

She is so thoughtful when she is only a teenager, and her words are full of twists and turns, and she has more thoughts than briquettes, no wonder the original owner doesn't like to talk to her.

"Pull some if there is no food at home, hey, there are a lot of them in this forest, go home and get something to pluck!"

"It's okay, I'll pull it out tomorrow, I'm here to play with you today."

"Xiaoli, I don't have time to play with you today. There are so many bamboo shoots to be peeled. Go find someone else to play with."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to finish your work, I haven't come to play with you for a long time."

"It's getting dark after stripping, I don't want to play with you today, you should find someone else."

Tian Tian didn't have any affection for this girl. In the past, when the old man was not at home, he would open his mouth to ask the original master for food and drink.
