Chapter 5 Warmth 1
"There is food under the cupboard. You have decided what to eat today. I will cook the pot for you."

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao opened the cupboard. There were pots, bowls, chopsticks and spoons on the upper two layers of the cupboard, and grain on the lower layer. It was really running out of food on the lower layer.

There is a little millet in one bag, about two catties of cornmeal in another bag, and five or six catties of sorghum rice in another bag. These are all the grains of the family.

Xiaoxiao thought about what to do as a staple food, let's cook millet porridge, millet nourishes the stomach and is easy to cook.

At this time, Han Lin had already cleaned up the pheasant and cut it into pieces. This piece of pheasant weighed four or five catties, but it was cut into about ten pieces. The chicken legs and wings were whole, and it looked like such a big piece. A piece of chicken, Xiaoxiao feels a headache, how can this be said?After thinking about it for a long time, the big pieces should be big, and the big deal is to stew for a while.

Han Lin came in from outside with a bunch of branches in his arms and asked, "Sister, should I heat the big pot first, or the small pot first?" "The small pot first." "Okay!"

"Brother, where do we put all the seasonings in our house?" "Seasonings?" "It's oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar." "Our house only has oil and salt, and there is a jar of miso in the cupboard on the windowsill by the small stove." , it was given by Aunt Yang." Han Lin smiled embarrassedly, "I'll get you the miso."

"Brother, what other vegetables do we have at home?" "Vegetables? Is this it?" Han Lin pointed to a dozen or so cabbages, some radishes, some potatoes and a bunch of green onions piled on the ground in the northeast corner of the house. "yes!"

Xiaoxiao walked over, took a scallion and two potatoes, peeled the onion, and said, "Let's stew pheasant with potatoes." "Okay, do whatever you want!" Han Lin agreed!

When chopping green onions, Xiaoxiao discovered a new problem. This kitchen knife is really heavy, and it is difficult to hold it with small hands and a small body.Han Lin saw it, "Let me cut it, this knife is too heavy, you have to struggle to hold it." "It's okay, I can do it."

Xiaoxiao got used to it a little bit, chopped up the green onion, and put the small iron pot on the small stove.Seeing that the pot is hot, he opened the oil jar and saw that there was not much oil in it.

I dug a little and put it into the pot. After the oil melted, put in chopped green onion and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the chicken pieces with clean water and stir fry vigorously with a wooden shovel until golden brown. Go in, after the sauce is fried, put two big ladles of water, "Oh, just stew it until it's done."

"Oh?" Han Lin asked suspiciously, only then did Xiaoxiao realize that this is no longer a modern language, how could the ancients know this modern language.

Just explaining awkwardly, "Oh, it means, it's okay, it's done. Maybe it's the same way where I live, so I'll just say it."

Oh!Put half a pot of water in the cauldron, Han Lin put the firewood into it to light the branches, and covered the pot with a wooden lid, which was also made of solid wood, which was very large and heavy.

Xiaoxiao looked at it and smiled wryly, this small body really couldn't move it.Watching Han Lin burn the fire, Xiaoxiao scooped up half of the millet with the small ladle in the bag, and poured it into the water ladle for washing.

When Han Lin saw it, he said: "Sister, there is too little rice, let's put more."

The chicken stewed in the small pot was already boiling, Xiaoxiao hurried over, skimmed off the foam on it, and covered the pot. "Brother, simmer slowly."

"Okay!" The water in the cauldron was also boiling. Xiaoxiao watched as Han Lin lifted the lid of the pot, put the millet into the pot, stirred it a few times with a wooden spoon, covered the pot and continued to heat up.Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into cubes for later use.

I went to the cupboard and took a large coarse porcelain bowl, scooped a little cornmeal into the bowl, put some water in it, stirred it evenly, and put it next to it.Seeing that Han Lin was busy watching her all the time, he pursed his lips in embarrassment and smiled.

Neither of them spoke, they listened quietly to the gurgling sound coming from the pot. The situation at this moment is the feeling of home. Han Lin has not felt this way for a long time.

Suddenly feeling sour in his heart, quietly looking at the little man in front of him, Han Lin suddenly thought selfishly, if you never remember, can you stay here forever, accompany yourself as the sun rises and the moon sets, and you don’t have to worry about it? will be alone.

This idea startled Han Lin, he felt a little...how sad that my sister's parents couldn't find her.If Xiaoxiao knew what Han Lin was thinking at this time, she would definitely tell him that if you think too much, they won't be sad, but just worried, worried that they won't be able to get the money.

In this way, the quiet time quietly extended, until the pure aroma of the stewed chicken in the small pot spread throughout the room, and even Heizi became agitated, walking back and forth outside the door.

Han Lin swallowed and said, "It's so delicious!" Xiaoxiao looked at him and smiled and asked, "Really?" When it's through, put the potatoes in.

Picking up the salt shaker and looking at it, I feel that the salt inside should be large grains of sea salt. There are impurities and dirty things in this kind of salt, so I grabbed some and put it in a bowl, mixed it with water, and kept stirring it with chopsticks. The salt melted and became dirty. The things and impurities will sink to the bottom of the bowl, just skim the salt water and use it.

Han Lin looked at it and said, "Sister, you are so smart!" Xiaoxiao felt so shy after being praised for such a trivial matter!
Pour the salted water into a small saucepan, stir a few times and cover.Xiaoxiao asked Han Lin to help lift the lid of the cauldron, pour the cornmeal into it, and keep stirring.

After a while, the millet porridge in the pot thickened, and Han Lin looked at Xiaoxiao with blue eyes.

"Sister, you are amazing!" Cough cough, that's it?Xiaoxiao almost choked on her own saliva, and looked up at the roof. Is it the simple ancients, or Han Liner?Forget it, don't want to, think too much, tired, that's not my style.

"Brother, don't fill the fire, it will be cooked soon", "Hey!" Han Lin agreed, and carried out the remaining branches.

Xiaoxiao found a large bowl and a small bowl for millet porridge, both of which were half full, brought them into the back room and put them on the table, and found a clay pot in the cupboard, filled the pottery stewed chicken nuggets with potatoes In the basin, bring two pairs of chopsticks and put them on the bowl.

"Brother, it's time to wash your hands and eat." "Hey, I'll be here soon." Han Lin came in with a small pottery pot, put the chicken head, neck and paws in it, went to the big pot to fill some millet porridge, and put it in the pot. By the door, Heizi also knew that dinner was ready, so he hurried over to start eating!
