Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 181 I'm going to open a shop (1)
Lin Xiaoqiao was bathed in the soft sunlight, leaning his back against the pillar lazily, and said with a smug look on his face: "That's for sure, can we do without my family?"

"You're not so pretty, these days without you chattering by my side, my ears are clean!" Lin Xiaoxi sat aside and looked at her little sister's expression, so she deliberately said so.

Lin Xiaoqiao was sunburned all over now, so he didn't want to continue bickering with his sister, so he simply kept silent and continued to admire his father's weaving of bamboo baskets.

If she wasn't afraid that she would leave a scar if she was cut by bamboo, she really wanted to try it herself.

"When did dad go up the mountain to cut the bamboo?" Lin Xiaoqiao looked at his dad sitting there quietly weaving baskets, and asked intentionally.

"I just went to cut it back yesterday, and I also cut a few bamboos a few days ago and weaved them and put them in the corner! When these few bamboos are also weaved, Dad will take them to the fair to sell!" Lin Erniu replied when he heard his little girl's question.

Lin Xiaoqiao glanced at the pile of bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets in the direction of Lin Erniu's fingers, and he really made a lot of weaves, and they were all piled up high.

"Did you see bamboo shoots when Dad was chopping bamboo?" Lin Xiaoqiao was not very interested in these bamboo baskets. When he saw these bamboos, he thought of bamboo shoots, so he asked casually. She also found that the question she asked was a little dazed.

Sure enough, after hearing what his little girl said, Lin Erniu replied with a smile: "Girl, how could there be bamboo shoots now?"

"Hehe——I was just asking casually. When I saw this bamboo, I thought of bamboo shoots. I'm a bit greedy!" Lin Xiaoqiao replied.

"When the bamboo shoots come up, Dad will dig them for you." Lin Erniu is a perfect example of a good father. Hearing his little girl said that she is greedy for bamboo shoots, she immediately made a promise and said.

"Father, you are so kind, I really like you so much!"

Lin Xiaoqiao watched his father chopping the bamboo, suddenly thought of the rice in bamboo tube that he had eaten in his previous life, his eyes lit up immediately, he hadn't eaten this rice in bamboo tube for a long time!
Bamboo is readily available now, why don't you steam a few rice in bamboo tubes at home to taste, I really miss the taste.

"Mother, let's eat rice in bamboo tubes at home!" Lin Xiaoqiao immediately said to Mrs. Li when he thought of it.

"Bamboo rice? What is this?" Lin Xiaoxi asked curiously.

Don't people here know bamboo rice?Lin Xiaoqiao thought with some doubts after hearing his sister's inquiry.

"Is it just washing the rice and steaming it in a bamboo tube?" Seeing Lin Xiaoxi's puzzled look, Widow Zheng said.

"Yes! How did Aunt Zheng know?" Lin Xiaoqiao asked.

"When I was in the capital, I ate it once in a while. I steamed the rice in a bamboo tube. It tasted much better than rice cooked in a pot!" Widow Zheng replied.

After listening to Widow Zheng's words, Mrs. Li looked at the two sisters Lin Xiaoqiao looking forward to it, and said, "Really? It's the first time I've heard of this method of steaming rice. Let's cook it at noon today." Try it!"

Before Li Shi could reply, Lin Xiaoqiao ran to her father and asked Lin Erniu to help her make seven or eight bamboo tubes.

After the bamboo tube was ready, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't sit still anymore, so he pulled Mrs. Li to prepare to steam the rice in the bamboo tube now.

Seeing that it wasn't too early, Mrs. Li started to help Lin Xiaoqiao.

Therefore, after Lin Xiaoqiao washed those bamboo tubes one by one, he put the washed rice into it, and there were only five bamboo tubes in total. Including Widow Zheng, there are only five people.

After finishing these, Lin Xiaoqiao asked Mrs. Li to cut off a small piece of bacon hanging under the eaves of the porch, cut it into thin slices, and put them in various bamboo tubes.

In addition, Lin Xiaoqiao also soaked some dried shiitake mushrooms that they picked in the mountains last year in hot water. Because they were soaked in hot water, it didn't take long for them to swell.

Seeing that the shiitake mushrooms were soaked, Mrs. Li cut them into shreds one by one, and put them into five bamboo tubes respectively.

After all the ingredients were prepared, Lin Xiaoqiao ordered the steamer to be steamed. The rice in bamboo tubes was steamed quite quickly, and it would be ready after about ten minutes of steaming on high heat.

When the lid of the pot was lifted, a fresh fragrance and the smell of meat came out. After steaming the rice in bamboo tubes, Mrs. Li took them out and brought them to the dining table in the main room.

Lin Xiaoqiao called Lin Erniu and Zheng Widow to the dinner table early in order to be able to taste the rice in bamboo tubes earlier.

Lin Erniu looked at this strange thing, and didn't know how to eat the rice in the bamboo tube, so Lin Xiaoqiao helped him open the lid of the bamboo tube, and then picked some of it with chopsticks for him to taste.

Lin Erniu took a bite and thought it tasted good, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate it by himself. Lin Xiaoqiao saw that he was eating with gusto, and his own saliva was about to flow down.

So, she couldn't wait to open the rice in a bamboo tube in front of her. Just by looking at the color, it was already very attractive. The fat in the bacon had been steamed and penetrated into the rice, and the plump rice grains were also because of With the penetration of the gravy of these sauce-colored bacon, it becomes bright in color.

Lin Xiaoqiao ate the first mouthful of rice contentedly, the smell of bamboo mixed with the meaty smell of bacon and the sweetness of rice, the taste was really good.

And today's steamed rice is well controlled, so the steamed rice is soft and delicious, especially delicious in the mouth.

After a while, Lin Erniu finished eating the rice in the bamboo tube in front of him, but he was not full, so he stretched out the bamboo tube in front of his daughter-in-law, meaning "I'm not full yet, give me some more Son".

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li said with some embarrassment: "There are no more, so we steamed five bamboo tubes!"

"Ah - this rice is so delicious, why do you steam it so little? How can there be enough to eat?" Lin Erniu said.

"Hey, Dad, why don't you eat after a while, steaming this rice is easy anyway, I'll steam it for you after I finish eating!" Lin Xiaoqiao said while eating.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li put down the chopsticks in her hand, and asked everyone for their opinions. Except for Lin Erniu, everyone was full after eating the tube of rice in front of her, so she didn't give it any more. Lin Erniu steamed rice.

In the end, Lin Erniu warmed up the leftover tortillas from two mornings, filling his stomach like this...
