Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 108 Small Pheasant Stewed Mushrooms
Qiao Miwei didn't lie. The cellar keeps warm. Although the disadvantage is that the air is not well circulated, it promotes the maintenance of temperature. As long as you burn some firewood in the morning and evening, the indoor temperature can be kept at about [-] degrees above zero. , although it is still a lot worse than in peacetime, it seems to be very good now.

After Qiao Mi felt complacent, her eyes fixed on the struggling pheasant, "I haven't eaten chicken for a long time, I'm so hungry."

The few people couldn't help laughing when they heard Qiao Miwei's complaints. It's really a luxury to eat a meal of chicken now. Not only Qiao Miwei is greedy, but they are also greedy, but Qiao Miwei's words can be heard in everyone's ears As if she was acting like a baby with Qin Zhiyuan, they exchanged glances behind Qiao Miwei's back, understanding each other.

Qin Zhiyuan immediately said happily, "Next time I catch any live ones, I'll bring them all over. If you're greedy, just tell me, and I'll try my best to get them."

Qiao Mi smiled and shook her head, "I'm just saying, everyone hunts so hard, I can't do something for nothing, or you can follow me to hunt before I get greedy again, so I can eat with peace of mind."

Qin Zhiyuan naturally nodded in great pain and responded, "No problem, I promise to complete the tasks assigned by the organization." He put his hands on the kang, and he warmed up after a while, "This kang is too warm, and the room is so big , or I'll stay here at night."

Father Qiao nodded, "Stay here, there is a lot of space here, and two more people are enough to sleep."

Mother Qiao said, "Zhiyuan, can you see if we can build a cellar like this over the cafeteria? You see, the room is so warm. Actually, there is not much firewood burned. The cellar is mainly used to keep warm."

After Qin Zhiyuan heard this, his mind began to turn. It might be a good idea to dig a cellar in the cafeteria. Then there will be more space on the ground to grow vegetables, and everyone will live warmer. The most important thing is that if the cellar is dug This kind of cellar is not afraid of the earthquake that will collapse the house on the surface. At worst, another door will be left to go outside. However, if the earthquake is so strong that even the cellar collapses, then no one can blame it. All human beings are collected, and one will destroy all human beings.

However, recently the villagers are busy rebuilding those indoor planting houses, and other people also have their own work. I am afraid that there is no time to dig the cellar. He is a little embarrassed. I don't believe that there is such a good heat preservation effect. If he hastily issued an order for everyone to dig the cellar, there might be some conflicts.

Seeing the hesitation on Qin Zhiyuan's face, Qiao Miwei figured out his concerns after a little thought, but she had nothing to do, she couldn't ask everyone to come and visit their home, right now the cellar is filled with everything. It's a good thing, and it's hard to guarantee that no one will threaten their family because of money, she patted Qin Zhiyuan's arm and comforted, "It's okay, things can never be finished, let's do it one by one, wait until everyone is not busy Maybe this proposal will be accepted by everyone soon.”

Qin Zhiyuan is an optimist, even if Qiao Miwei didn't persuade him, he wouldn't go into a corner by himself. Just thinking about it on purpose, he meant to tease her. Seeing that Qiao Miwei opened his mouth to comfort him, he quickly followed the words. Agreed, "Okay, Mom, give me that chicken, I'll go up and kill it, and we'll stew it later."

Mother Qiao smiled and handed the pheasant to Qin Zhiyuan, "This time, let's borrow Zhiyuan's light and have a good meal."

Qin Zhiyuan touched a clean bowl and went up. Not long after, he heard the screams of the pheasant, which stopped after a few cries. Not long after, Qin Zhiyuan came back with a pheasant in one hand and chicken blood in the other.

Mother Qiao took it over and said with a smile, "Just give me the rest." There was ready-made hot water in the stove next to it, which was more than enough to clean up a chicken.

Qin Zhiyuan washed his hands and sat next to Qiao Miwei to help her pick out rice, "Weiwei, how much rice do you have?"

Qiao Mi turned her head slightly and said mysteriously, "I won't tell you."

Qin Zhiyuan raised his hand and pinched Qiao Miwei's face, "Okay, then I don't ask, but can I have rice tonight? Otherwise, rice porridge is also fine. I haven't eaten rice for a long time, so I really want to , and with chicken, it would be a pity not to eat rice.”

Yu Yawen smiled and said, "Don't listen to Wei Wei, the rice we are picking now is for cooking at night."

Qin Zhiyuan was overjoyed now, "Oh, I'm lucky this time."

Father Qiao said, "Let's eat at night, there is nothing extra, this meal is guaranteed to be enough for you."

"Ah?" Qin Zhiyuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the rice for his feelings was the last meal, "Then let's stop making rice, let's make some porridge."

Qiao Miwei and Yu Yawen looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, Qiao Miwei patted Qin Zhiyuan, pointed behind him and said, "Look for yourself, my rice noodles are all there, take a look Is it enough for you to eat?"

Qin Zhiyuan looked back, and saw four or five bags of rice noodles stacked together through the gap of the covered curtain. People with small appetites might have to eat it for two or three years. "Why are there so many?" Qiao Miwei knew about the end times in advance, and he was probably ready for it at that time. He secretly grabbed Qiao Miwei's hand under the table and scratched her palm, but Qiao Miwei gave her a hand. Slapped away, her sister-in-law was next to her, Qin Zhiyuan really didn't know how to be ashamed at all.

She got up and went to the corner to open a cardboard box, took out a few potatoes and began to peel them, Yu Yawen also threw the rice in her hand on the table, "Zhiyuan, you pick another bowl of rice, I'll soak it mushroom."

Although the mushrooms in their home to dry in the spring were not damaged, there was a bit of dust on them, and it was very laborious to clean them. After a while, Mother Qiao came back with the cleaned pheasants. Qin Zhiyuan picked out the rice and went to help Qiao Mother lit the fire, and Qiao Miwei shredded potatoes and soaked them in water. She was going to mix potato shreds in a while. She turned around and lit another pot next to Mother Qiao, and prepared to cook rice. Cook rice in a big pot She just learned it recently. The method is a bit similar to cooking porridge, but after the rice is cooked, use a colander to scoop out the rice to control the moisture. The rice made in this way is better than the rice cooker. You can also drink a bowl of rice soup.

Mother Qiao put the chicken nuggets in water and put them in the pot to fry for half a day, then put in the seasonings one after another, then added water, and finally put the mushrooms in to stew. This is a pure northeastern farm dish. If there are pork ribs, add two The taste of meat is even better, but people's lives are tight now, and a meal of meat is a luxury, and they can't ask for more.

When the chicken was almost stewed, Mother Qiao put another handful of vermicelli in it, "It's rare to eat chicken today, so don't be reluctant to part with this handful of vermicelli. If you don't have it, it will be gone."

Slowly the smell of chicken and mushrooms began to spread in the room. Qiao Mi swallowed slightly, it was so fragrant and gluttonous. Before the food was served, the whole family sat around the kang table with chopsticks in their hands and stared at him. I can't help the steaming pot lid, even if I can't see the chicken inside, I don't want to move my eyes away.

When the food was finally served, everyone's chopsticks were stretched out, and they went straight to the chicken. For a while, everyone buried their heads in eating, and no one cared about talking.

After the big bowl of chicken, the plate of shredded potatoes, and the big bowl of rice were all wiped out by the crowd, Qiao Miwei put down his chopsticks and licked his lips, "Wow, it's delicious."

Sun Ying also nodded and said, "It smells so good!"

Mother Qiao was still reluctant to put down the bone in her hand, and sucked it back and forth in her mouth, "This pheasant chicken is much tastier than those chickens."

Qiao Miwei rested for a while, patted his stomach and got up to wash the dishes. Qin Zhiyuan hurriedly got up to grab the bowl from Qiao Miwei's hand, "Wei Wei, put it there, I'll do it, the water is cold."

Qiao Miwei didn't have the nerve to let him wash the dishes, she sideways dodged, "Go and stay, I'll finish washing just a few bowls in a few strokes."

Qin Zhiyuan was unwilling to give up this opportunity to be courteous, he grabbed Qiao Miwei's hand to grab the dish towel in her hand, and the thick cotton trousers on his legs accidentally scratched the kitchen knife next to him.

Mother Qiao saw this scene with sharp eyes, and quickly shouted, "Be careful with the kitchen knife!"

Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan looked down, and they grabbed at the same time. If the knife fell, it would be cut directly on Qin Zhiyuan's feet. It would be too dangerous, but they reached out from two directions It happened that the direction of the kitchen knife was messed up, the sharp blade directly cut their fingers, and the knife was also pushed into the stove. Qin Zhiyuan saw that Qiao Miwei's hand was bleeding, so he grabbed her hand, The moment the fingers of the two touched, the blood of the two blended at a speed invisible to the naked eye, Qiao Miwei suddenly felt dizzy in her head, and then she felt Qin Zhiyuan's fingers in her mouth, She shook her head twice to wake herself up, and then withdrew her finger. Originally, the skin was only cut and a little blood came out. Qin Zhiyuan licked it just now, and the bleeding stopped, but it was Qin Zhiyuan's finger The wound is deeper.

Mother Qiao took out a piece of clean light-colored cloth from the sewing basket at the side, got up and came to the two of them, saw that Qiao Miwei's hand was no longer bleeding, and took Qin Zhiyuan's hand to bandage him, "You You are both grown up, and you are still so careless when you do things, but fortunately, you just cut a little skin, if the kitchen knife really falls, and cuts off one of your toes, you are just waiting to cry."

Qin Zhiyuan's usual training injuries were worse than this one, and the man had a cut, bleeding a little was nothing, but he still stood obediently and asked Mother Qiao to wrap his fingers into rice dumplings.

At this moment, Yu Yawen got up and squeezed Qiao Miwei away, "Go and rest, wash this bowl for me, and chat with Zhiyuan."
