Chapter 57

In the third year of junior high school, Xia Xiaocao and the others rushed back to the county after having lunch in Xiazhong Country. As for Bowen and the three Xia Xiaocao, they had no choice but to let them live in Xiazhong Country for a while until school started soon. Time to go back to the county.

By the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the family had almost eaten all the fine grains. Xia Zhongguo sent some of the fine grains distributed by the village to Xia Xiaocao, and also to the old house. The remaining half a month of Chinese New Year Almost finished eating.

While Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei were busy in the kitchen, Xia Nuan secretly ran to the grain cellar, "System, I want to buy [-] catties of rice and [-] catties of flour, all of which must be processed for high-grade gold coins." Buckle it yourself, by the way, put it in a humble cloth bag for me."

Food in the system is more expensive than outside, but now it is difficult to buy food outside and there are no extra food coupons at home. As for what Xia Zhongguo and the others think, Xia Nuan no longer cares.

Because Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei had already discovered that there was something wrong with the food at home, especially Wang Ximei was basically the one who cooked at home, and they knew how much food was in the house, but it took so long to eat such a small amount of food, Anyone would be skeptical.

So Xia Nuan didn't bother to hide and hide happily. He just bought food from the system and put it in the cellar. The food in the system was very cheap for Xia Nuan who now had nearly [-] gold coins.

A catty of rice or flour only needs one gold coin. When Xia Nuan had no money, she felt that the system was too evil. Now that her wallet is bulging, she feels that it is not so expensive.

One hundred catties of food system deducted one hundred gold coins from Xia Nuan. After deducting the gold coins, two big cloth bags appeared in the cellar of Xia's family. Etc. refined flour.

Afterwards, Xia Nuan bought two live fish weighing seven to eight catties from the system, which were kept very fresh in the wooden basin. These two fish were more expensive and cost Xia Nuan 65 gold coins.

The happiest thing about the system is when Xia Nuan spends gold coins. Although it is not much every time, it can add up to more.

After putting away the food, Xia Nuan didn't dare to delay, and immediately came up from the cellar. When she came up, Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei were still busy in the kitchen!

Now there are seven children in the family who need to eat and the food goes down quickly. There is no way to say that the so-called half-child eats the poor. The food in the utility room is almost gone, especially the fine grain is gone.

"Zhongguo, go to the cellar and bring some grain up. You need both coarse grains and fine grains. There is still some meat in the kitchen for the children to make dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat for lunch."

Wang Ximei has always been very generous to her children. How can the children grow up when they are always in the middle of their bodies?
Xia Zhongguo felt sorry for the fine grains at home, but he didn't say anything because they were all for his children.

It's just that when he went down to the cellar to get the grain, he was really taken aback and almost cried out.

But in the end Xia Zhongguo held back, and he took Wang Ximei into the cellar secretly, "Look at our cellar, there are two bags of fine grains and two big live fish."

"What's going on, what's going on, I said before that the amount of food at home was not right, and I ate it slowly. This time, two bags of food came out and two live fish were added. Zhongguo's family There will be no ghosts..."

Although Wang Ximei has never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but not believe it. Thinking of the possibility of ghosts, Wang Ximei felt a chill down her spine.

"Nonsense, where did the ghost come from in broad daylight? Maybe some god sent it to us. By the way, don't say anything in front of the children outside, or you will cause trouble..." Xia Zhongguo Remembering what Xia Xiaocao said, it was enough for the two of them to know about the children's young age.

"Then what about the food and fish?"

"What can we do? Of course, we have to eat it. It would be a pity if such good food is spoiled after a long time. Besides, it was just used to supplement you and the children. The famines in the past few years have caused a loss of health. gone."

Xia Nuan has been secretly observing Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei in the dark, wanting to see how they react when they see the food, which is related to the quality of life of her family in the future.

Xia Nuan saw Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei went down to the cellar, and after staying in the cellar for a while, they brought up some food, and of course Xia Zhongguo also brought up the two fish in the wooden basin.

When Xia Zhongguo and the others entered the kitchen, Xia Nuan didn't see any abnormal behavior from them, so she decided that she could put more food, fish and so on in the cellar in the future. Finally, she didn't have to hide food in hiding. Being able to openly let the family eat delicious Xia Nuan is in a particularly good mood.

Wang Ximei picked up a big fish in the wooden basin and asked Xia Zhongguo to kill the fish, "It happens that there is fish at noon, so let's eat dumplings stuffed with fish meat instead..."

Wang Ximei took some flour out of the flour bag, kneaded the dough and put it aside to wake up, and then went to her vegetable field to cut a cabbage.

Xia Zhongguo cleaned up the fish that weighed seven or eight catties within a short while, and the two fishy lines on the fish were also pulled out, and the smell of the fish would be reduced when these two fishy lines were pulled out. Quite a few.

Wang Ximei carefully used a spoon to scrape off the fish meat from the fish bones bit by bit, and when almost all the fish meat was scraped off, she carefully checked with her hands bit by bit to see if there were any tiny fish bones that slipped through the net.

Of course, there are too many fish bones on the fish tail, so Wang Ximei left them together with the fish heads and bones to prepare the fish soup.

Wang Ximei chopped the scraped fish, added seasonings and cornstarch, beat and starched, then mixed the chopped cabbage and fish evenly, and the filling was ready.

Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei were in the kitchen rolling the skin and making the dumplings. It took nearly two hours to make the fish and meat dumplings of Sansanlian. The dumplings can be cooked when the children come back.

Stewing fish soup is much easier. Put the fish, onion, ginger and other seasonings into the pot, add some water, bring to a boil on high heat, and simmer the fish soup on low heat.

When the children went out to play in the morning, Wang Ximei told them to come back early by making dumplings at noon, so the children came back in a hurry before noon.

"Mom, are the dumplings ready to eat? Our stomachs are already starved." As soon as the children got home, they ran to the kitchen and shouted that they were hungry.

"Okay, you go wash your hands first and I'll make dumplings for you now." Wang Ximei started to boil water to prepare dumplings.

Fish and pork are different and easier to cook. The dumplings are cooked in boiling water for a few minutes, "Bowen, take this bowl of dumplings to your grandpa's house, Wen Hao, take this bowl of fish dumplings to your grandma home."

After the dumplings were divided, there were only six bowls left in the first pot of dumplings, "You guys eat first, and I will make another pot of dumplings and it will be ready soon."

Xia Nuan couldn't finish this big bowl of dumplings. At most, he could only eat half a bowl, but Wen Hao and his fellows insisted on making a big bowl full of dumplings. Just like this, a few blog posts He also said that he didn't eat enough, the typical full stomach and eyes are not full.

Wen Hao and the boys ran out to play again after lunch. Wang Ximei said that the children were so lively that even Wen Hua, who usually didn't like to go out, was taken out of his own initiative.

After lunch, Xia Nuan studied in her own room, because it was inconvenient to use the system to study every time. Outsiders saw Xia Nuan as if she was in a daze, but they didn't know that Xia Nuan was sick!

So Xia Nuan spent some gold coins to realize all the books and materials in the system, so that she can take out the books in the system and read them. Of course, she should be careful when reading them. Reading in the system should be much more secure.

In particular, Xia Nuan also thinks that the book she reads is covered with a layer of skin. People who don't look closely don't know what book Xia Nuan is reading, because Xia Nuan has wrapped a layer of first-grade Chinese textbooks on the outside of the book. .
