Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 2 Mushroom Soup

After Caiyun finished cutting the potatoes, she came out to scoop up water, saw the two of them squatting by the side of the rotten grass, and didn't know what they were doing. , then walked over to have a look, after a look, she also surprised you, "Sister, you can't eat these mushrooms, the Ermao in our village became stupid only after eating poisonous mushrooms when he was a child, he is so big, Still drooling!"

Mu Xiang stood up holding the mushroom, and said to her: "The poisonous mushroom is bright in color and easy to recognize. Believe me, this is an ordinary straw mushroom. When I make soup later, I will give you two a good meal." She They took the mushrooms to the eaves of the porch, where there was an old bucket, and there was no well in the yard. If they wanted water, they had to go to the river a few hundred meters away to fetch water to eat.

The dog followed the elder sister step by step, watching her wash the mushrooms, and helped her wash them too.

Caiyun has always listened to her elder sister, her mother left early, and her father didn't care about them, so her elder sister was just like their mother, so what she said must be right.

"Then I'll go pick up mushrooms too," Caiyun quickly ran back to get the bamboo sticks, and picked up the remaining slightly larger mushrooms.

Mu Xiang picked some big mushrooms from the wash and put them into a big bowl, "Dog, you and Second Sister are playing in the yard, I'll cook the mushrooms."

"Oh, oh, there are mushrooms to eat at noon," the dog clapped his hands, a smiling face reflected in Mu Xiang's eyes, extraordinarily warm.

Walking into the kitchen, Caiyun only cut up the potatoes, the stove hadn't been turned on yet, and only some water was added to the small iron pot, which was to cook the potatoes.

Seeing the pot, Mu Xiang felt even more hungry. Since she wanted to eat, she had to work hard. Caiyun's cooking skills were really not good, so it's no wonder the dog complained. Caiyun basically only cooked the food and put it aside Just season with salt.

Mu Xiang scooped out the water in the iron pot, squatted under the stove, and lit a handful of hay with flint.After all, it was the first time to light a flint, and I was not very proficient. After lighting it several times, it finally lit.

The dog was also very hungry, and knew that there was something good to eat, so he followed Mu Xiang around, and when Mu Xiang was lighting the fire, he also squatted aside and handed her the broken twig, "Sister, here you are!"

Mu Xiang took it with a smile, "The dog is so obedient and capable!"

Hearing his sister's praise, the corners of Gou'er's mouth almost turned up to his ears.

When the iron pan is hot, you can put oil.

Thinking that there is still a little vegetable oil at home, which was given by Grandma Wang’s family in the village during the Chinese New Year, only two taels of vegetable oil. After eating it now, there is only a little oil left.Mu Xiang held the vegetable oil bottle and thought about it for a long time, but she was still cruel, scraped the oil bottle clean, and dropped it into the pot.

Caiyun opened her mouth when she heard the sound of oil being poured into the pan, and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Mu Xiang stood by the stove, and when the oil temperature was almost up, he poured the mushrooms in and stir-fried for a while.There are no other seasonings at home. When the frying is almost done, add salt and water, wait for the water to boil, and simmer a cup of tea on a low fire. The fragrance of the mushrooms will come out. It would be nice to have some fragrance.

As soon as the mushrooms were cooked, Caiyun and Gou'er salivated greedily. They hadn't smelled the aroma of oil for a long time.In the past, my eldest sister was reluctant to use oil when cooking. I remember the last time I ate oil, it was during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Seeing that the mushrooms had to be simmered for a while, Mu Xiang thought about going to the vegetable garden when she was free.

This vegetable garden is just behind the house, next to a small pond.The pond is shared by the village. During the drought season, the pond can save the life of a village. In the countryside, if the farmer fails to harvest, it will be fatal.Regardless of whether you have harvested the land or not, the land rent is indispensable.

The three Muxiang brothers and sisters naturally have no land. Except for the low-lying vegetable garden behind the house, there is no other place that belongs to them.

"I'll go to the vegetable garden to have a look, and I'll be back in a while, Caiyun, look at the fire, if the water in the pot is almost full, put the potatoes in and cook them together, so you don't have to cook the potatoes separately later!"

Caiyun nodded in response, not forgetting to remind her, "Sister, it just rained, the vegetable garden is very rotten, and there are shallots on the edge of the vegetable ridge, don't go in there!"

"Well, I know, I'll be back in a while," Mu Xiang smiled back at her.

Hearing that the eldest sister was going to the vegetable garden, Gou'er didn't want mushroom soup any more. He pulled her up and went to the back of the house. He told her braggingly that when it rained, there would be a lot of water in the pond behind the house. Bubbles, and the bright red shrimp, it hurts to get caught.

Mu Xiang's eyes lit up, bubbling?And red shrimp?

Looking in the direction the dog pointed, their vegetable field was next to a small ditch. The ditch was not deep. On the other side of the ditch was a patch of weeds. When the water rises, the water in the pond will overwhelm the weeds and overflow into the small ditch, and when the tide ebbs, it will look like it is now.

Looking straight ahead along the direction of the pond, a few hundred meters away, there is a river flowing like a jade belt. It is now noon, and the sun is shining on the river, casting a golden light.

The river was named Yudai River, and it flowed from the foot of Wowo Mountain through the small village where they lived, so the village was called Yuhe Village after the name of the river.

His stomach was empty, and Mu Xiang didn't bother to think about other things. It was important to recover his strength first. When he had strength, he made a bow and arrow and went up the mountain to hunt. The brain, the remaining half is technology.It seems that she has to step up her training, otherwise how will she support her younger siblings.

While she was thinking about it, Gou'er quickly pulled out a few shallots and handed them to her, "Sister, let's go, Gou'er is so hungry!"

Mu Xiang lowered her head and looked at his thin face, with high and protruding cheekbones. If he could gain weight, Gou'er must be a good-looking boy.

She nodded lightly, took the onion, and said with a smile: "I have to go back quickly, or your second sister will be in a hurry guarding a pot of mushrooms." After finishing speaking, she took the dog and went into the house .

As soon as he walked back to the yard, he could smell a strong smell of meat coming from the other side of the high wall, and there was the sound of cooking money in an iron pan.

The dog looked in the direction of the high wall and swallowed heavily.

Mu Xiang didn't even look at the other side of the wall, she clenched Gou'er's hand tightly, her expression turned cold, "Don't be greedy for them, Gou'er, I'll take you up the mountain to hunt when my sister recovers from illness, if you hunt too much, I'll take you to town Go up and sell it, get the money back, and weigh a pound of pork belly for you, let's make braised pork!"
