Peasant Girl's Jingxiu Pastoral

Chapter 24 Negotiation (1)
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and the afterglow of the sun shone on this quiet mountain village, everything looked so soft and beautiful...

Looking at the villagers who had worked for a day, they all went home in twos and threes. The three brothers and sisters looked at them, and quickly collected the black fungus and bamboo shoots that were drying in the yard.

Yue Yue thought, perhaps it would be good to live here for a lifetime. Although the ancient times were backward and did not even have the hustle and bustle of modern cities, but fortunately the environment was not polluted at all, unlike modern cities where the so-called heavy traffic is even worse. A major killer that causes serious environmental pollution!
Unlike at this time, there are only the "rustling" sound of the phoenix blowing across the field, and the figures of the villagers working hard in the field.

The three brothers and sisters looked at the smoke rising from the village, and began to wash their hands and cook. This time, it was Yanyue who took care of everything. She opened the food cabinet, and there were several half-sized cloth bags in it. Yanyue opened them one by one. After looking at it, I found that there was a bag of corn flour, which was about eight or nine catties, and another one was filled with crushed corn kernels, which was about six or seven catties. It's rice. Looking at the stack, it should weigh more than ten catties, with rice bran mixed in it.

I think this is the leftover rice from the rice grown by the family. After all, the family has no money, so it is impossible to buy so much rice.

Yanyue knows that good rice can only be eaten by wealthy families. In such a poor village as Longyuan Village, even the village head's family may not be able to afford it. If you want to come to other families, you may only be able to eat cornbread. Occasionally, I just cook a meal of white rice porridge.

As for those with a slightly wider field, the rice should be enough to eat. Of course, if the family has a large population, it is impossible to eat white rice. It is very likely that it is the same as my own family, and it is only an occasional meal. According to the memory of the original body , the original owner heard from his parents that even the yellowed rice is still sold for ten cents per catty?

Thinking of this, Yue Yue became agitated for a while, looking at the rice in front of her eyes, Yue Yue cruelly took out four handfuls of rice from the rice bag and put them in the porcelain basin next to her.

Yingyu, who stood watching from the side, frowned, wanted to say something, but didn't say it, just kept silent, thinking that Yanyue wanted to eat it, so let's cook it.

Big deal, wait a while for parents to come back, just be scolded!
Immediately she went over to help, and saw that Yanyue closed the cupboard door, picked up the porcelain basin and got up, Yingyu hurriedly stepped forward to take her hand and said to Yunyue, "Yueyue, let me scouring this rice, you go get bamboo shoots and fungus." , I don’t know how to cook, so leave the rice to me!”

Hearing what the eldest sister said, Yue Yue nodded, then turned around and washed the bamboo shoots and black fungus left over at noon, took the bamboo shoots and cut them in half, then patted them loose with a kitchen knife, and cut them into finger-length sections.Then put it in a bowl, then pick up the fungus in the basin, tear and tear, and then take a bowl and put it on.

After the eldest sister cooked the rice and drained the water, Yan Yue asked the younger brother who had been burning the fire at the stove to add some firewood. When the pot was heated up, he dug out a little lard, put salt, and then put the chopped garlic and ginger into the pot , After frying fragrant, Yan Yue put the spring bamboo shoots into the pot and stir-fried until the color was slightly yellow, added an appropriate amount of water, boiled over high heat, then asked the younger brother to turn off the high heat, switch to low heat, and wait for the soup to shrink. It was served in a soup bowl, and then the fungus was stir-fried.

When the couple returned home, what they saw was that the yard was swept clean, everything was neatly arranged, the door of the main room was wide open, but the figures of the three children could not be seen, but the voices from the kitchen made them The couple felt relieved, and when they entered the kitchen, they found the three siblings talking and laughing in the kitchen.
