The ancient daily life of a farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 55

After entering the kitchen, Li Qingnuan saw the unwashed bowls and chopsticks on the cooking table, and the flies flying around on the dirty dishes, and felt sick at the time.Nima, is this really a living family?
She reached out and stacked the bowls and chopsticks into the basin, then poured a few scoops of cold water to soak them.When she was almost done cleaning up, she dug out the cornmeal and millet from the cupboard in the stove and poured them into a large iron pot to burn them.

Seeing that the fire in the stove could not be extinguished, she turned around and began to wash the leeks and stupid cucumbers that she had just dug out from the vegetable garden the day before.

After washing and cutting, she beat another seven or eight eggs and stirred them well. Then she lit the small stove with a yellow clay plate on one side, and then sat in the cleaned small pot to start cooking.

The oil is the oil used for slaughtering pigs, cooking meat and marinating meat years ago. There is no fixed number, but that small urn will be used for a whole year.So on weekdays, Mrs. Zhang saves it every day, even if she cooks by herself, it's just a thin layer of brushing.But Li Qingnuan was different, since Mrs. Zhang was targeting her, she would let her bleed.

Li Qingnuan scooped up half a spoonful of oil with a spoon, and when the half-solidified lard melted and smoked, she poured a large bowl of eggs into it, and quickly turned it over with a frying spatula.

When the vegetables were fried, she thought for a while, reached out and fiddled with some salt that was still condensed and sprinkled it in the bowl of scrambled eggs with leeks.After thinking about it, I pickled a few more cucumbers.When the dishes in the two pots were ready, she turned around and looked at the millet porridge in the big pot, then put the cold buns on the grate of the drawer and sat on top of the pot.

Country people do not have induction cooker or microwave ovens, so hot meals are placed on grates and then placed in a large pot, using the remaining fire in the stove and the heat in the pot to suffocate the food.

As the breakfast was cooked, people from several rooms of the Tian family also arrived at the main room one after another.At this time, Tian Tieshi came to help Li Qingnuan serve the rice with rough hands and feet, and then called Xiao Zhang to help serve the porridge.

When eating, Mrs. Zhang hadn't eaten yet, so she picked the food that was oily and watery, and there was too much millet in the porridge, especially when she asked how many eggs were put in, her face straightened.In the village, eggs are a good thing, and they can be exchanged for money in the town. Who doesn't worry about eating them?This Mrs. Li was too prodigal, and eight of them were fired in one meal.After picking and choosing a lot of unpleasant things, Mrs. Zhang put a chopstick of egg cubes in her mouth.As soon as she took a bite, she vomited it up, it was too salty, it was too salty.Before she had time to swear, she quickly picked up the lukewarm porridge and took a sip. It didn't matter this time, she squirted it out again.This porridge is bitter...

Li Qingnuan hurriedly put a few pieces of eggs and cucumbers into Tian Tieshi's bowl after her parents-in-law moved their chopsticks, so the porridge spouted from Zhang's mouth fell into the dishes on the table, which didn't make her feel ashamed Face.

The old man Tian and the Tian family became a few, and he was going to go to the field in a while, and he was directly soiled by the old woman before he had eaten, how could they have a good face.

"What are you doing! Who is this spoiling? If you want to make a fuss, you bitch, just say so." Old man Tian slapped the table with his big hands, looked at Mrs. Zhang and shouted, "There is time for making troubles. , this table of food is not money."

Old man Tian is also distressed, especially the pot of yellow eggs and leeks.Not to mention anything else, just smelling the fragrance is enough to make people drool.And the oil and water in the vegetable bowl, it must be delicious with steamed bread.Right now, everything was ruined by this prodigal girl.Even if he doesn't dislike Mrs. Zhang, it would be disgusting to think that the food is full of saliva, let alone eat it.

Li Qingnuan handed Tian Tieshi the cornbread in his hand, then gave him a silent wink, then got up and used a pair of clean chopsticks to pull out the upper layer of vegetables from the basin.

"Mother, the fire was a bit high when I was cooking today. The porridge might have a burnt smell. But this dish must be delicious. I put half a spoonful of lard and fried a catty of eggs." Li Qingnuan cleared the table He sat down again, "If mother likes to eat, I'll make you fried pancakes with eggs and leeks at noon."

Li Qingnuan's words were very respectful, coupled with Old Man Tian's resentful expression and the disgusting eyes of his sons, Mrs. Zhang could only verbally reprimand her a few words without making a big fuss.But when she thought of the eggs she had saved for several months, and Li Qingnuan ate them like this, she felt so distressed.
