Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 197
A group of young girls may not have much ability, but they are better than being sincere and sincere. They always understand and remember Si Ningning's sincerity and care for them, and are willing to repay Si Ningning's sincerity. As for the care...

Perhaps just like what Huo Lang said, "There are comings and goings", Jiang Yue and the others couldn't take care of Si Ningning like Si Ningning took care of them, but they tried their best to use their weak strength to get rid of others. Level up where this layer is missing.

The quality highlighted by this kind of behavior is exactly what Si Ningning wants to see.

Money is easy to get, sincerity is not easy to get, and the feedback she got in getting along with her made Si Ningning feel from her heart that it was worthwhile to think about these people.

Knowing that Si Ningning likes to be clean, Jiang Yue cleaned up every nook and cranny of the female educated youth's room, main room, and kitchen.

Song Xiaoyun found a piece of rag and wiped off the dust on the table and window coffin one by one.

Xu Shuhua was in charge of steaming everyone's rations, and then according to Si Ningning's suggestion, he put the few sweet potato seedlings reserved in advance on the edge of the private plot on the side of the door.

According to Si Ningning, it doesn't matter whether the sweet potatoes are fruiting or not. As long as they can survive, pinching sweet potato vines is also a dish.

On Si Ningning's side, Mo Bei helped fetch the water, and then asked if there was anything else that needed help. When he found out, Mo Bei didn't stay long, so he just made excuses and went back to the house.

Si Ningning soaked the rabbit's legs in the pool, turned around and dragged the washbasin to her side, and put the sweat towel with scattered blood stains in the basin to soak. I don't mean to drop it.

Even though he had predicted that the sweat towel would be difficult to wash, Si Ningning did not give up.

The soap rubbed vigorously back and forth on the sweat towel several times until the blood-stained area was covered with a thick layer. Then Si Ningning stopped, turned to pour most of the water in the basin, put the towel into the basin, and let it sit. A shallow layer of water on the bottom of the basin soaks first.

Grabbing the bucket, she poured some water into her hands to wash away the slippery soap on her hands. Si Ningning went back to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and carefully shaved off the meat from the rabbit's legs. She put the rabbit meat away separately, and took the leg bones to the kitchen After taking out the pot, quickly blended half a pot of soup.

Covering the pot, Si Ningning said to Xu Shuhua while chopping chopped green onions, "Let's have some soup together later, and ask who has potatoes, and you can bring two."

Xu Shuhua got up quickly, "I have a few more, I'll get them."

It has been raining for the past two days, and the air humidity is high. If she doesn't eat the potatoes, they will sprout.

Si Ningning nodded.

Knowing that Xu Shuhua's situation was tight, Si Ningning picked out a slightly larger potato from the potatoes she brought, and left the others untouched.

Si Ningning scraped off the skin of the potatoes with the side of the spoon, rinsed them with water, cut the potatoes in half, and then cut them into pea-sized pieces.

The soup in the pot boiled, Si Ningning scooped up the potatoes with a kitchen knife, and poured them into the pot twice. Looking back, he saw Xu Shuhua pawing the dozen or so potatoes at the table, some of which had turned green Potatoes, I plan to eat them tomorrow.

Every time I eat steamed potatoes, I am not only tired of eating, but also choked.

Si Ningning thought for a while, and said, "I'll make you some shredded potatoes tomorrow, so you don't have to steam some sorghum rice, so you can eat it with it."

It can be full and consume potatoes. The most important thing is to change the taste, which is good for the body and stomach.

Xu Shuhua smiled and shook her head, "That's too troublesome, it's good to eat like this."

"If you think it's not good to bother me, you can do it yourself." Si Ningning stirred the pot. Because the potatoes were cut into small pieces, they were quickly boiled to soft and rotten by the soup, and the soup thickened accordingly.

Sprinkled chopped green onions in, Si Ningning put the lid on the pot, then leaned his hips against the stove, looked at Xu Shuhua who was burning the fire, "The days are long, and only when they are comfortable can we look forward to it. Now we are not as busy as before. Now, if you can spare a little time to take care of yourself, that would be great."

Xu Shuhua froze for a moment.

As soon as Si Ningning's words came into her ears, Xu Shuhua felt that Si Ningning was in a different situation from hers, so she couldn't understand her embarrassment, but after savoring it carefully, Xu Shuhua suddenly felt a burst of warmth in her heart.

When I was busy before, I was really tired, and people could peel off a layer of skin. These two days are not so busy, Xu Shuhua is actually quite anxious.

Normally, I can't keep up with the progress of those aunts in the team, and I don't get many work points. Now that I am free, the chances of getting work points are even less.

With less work points, she can't even take care of herself, so how can she take care of her family?

Xu Shuhua was very anxious, but Si Ningning's words woke her up.

No matter how bad the family is, her parents will support her, but here she is the only one.

If she doesn't care about herself and doesn't love herself, who else will take her seriously?

Xu Shuhua leaned back and leaned against the dark wall, her tired voice revealed gratitude, "Thank you, Ningning...I've been so busy these days that I'm dizzy."

"It doesn't matter if you get dizzy once in a while, just wake up in time." Si Ningning smiled and bent her lips, pointing to the end, no matter whether Xu Shuhua could listen or not, she would not say much.

Obviously, Xu Shuhua heard it.

Lifting the lid of the pot, Si Ningning changed the subject and said, "The soup is ready, let's call everyone to eat."

It was originally planned to eat some cucumbers quickly, but now that there is soup, the cucumbers can only be postponed.

Most of the educated youths ate whole grains, some steamed potatoes, some steamed sorghum rice, those who ate potatoes had soup alone, and those who ate rice had soup and rice.

It was full of oil and water, and it was also stained with meat. Even if there was no real meat, the group of people were very satisfied with a meal, and they inevitably yelled and praised Si Ningning.

Hearing similar words a lot, Si Ningning felt tired, shook his head and took the lunch box to the well to wash.

The color of the sweat towel soaked by the well had faded a lot, not just the color of the blood stains, but the overall color.

Si Ningning washed the lunch box and rubbed it, the blood was quickly washed away, and even the light yellow sweat towel turned two shades white.

Thinking that it was covered with sweat, and that Huo Lang's big head was not cleaned so carefully, Si Ningning couldn't help but muttered "rough guy" in his heart.

It happened that the tip of his nose was close to the sweat towel and sniffed it. Although he didn't smell anything strange, Si Ningning was still worried. He soaped and rubbed it twice before taking it to the clothes drying pole on the inside of the doorstep. with.

Xu Shuhua and the others finished cleaning the stove and were boiling water to wash their faces.

Si Ningning took out the pomegranate given by Mo Bei, cut it into four pieces and shared some among them, then squatted aside, ate the pomegranate seeds, and said, "Save the skin for me after you finish eating."

"What's the use of this skin?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Hmm..." Si Ningning hesitated for a moment before answering: "The color of the cloth cut yesterday was too plain. I've been thinking about finding something to dye it with today. Now there are pomegranate peels, which is just right."

"Pomegranate skin can be dyed?" Jiang Yuedeng was surprised, shook his head for a while and said, "No, you, you can also dye cloth?"

"I don't know how to do it, but the book is complicated. I glanced at the relevant knowledge before, but I didn't practice it... To put it bluntly, I was just groping around."

Si Ningning was telling the truth, but what she was reading was not a book, but a short video.

In the short videos I watched before, any plant can be dyed, but the videos are all edited by humans. She really doesn't know if it is true or not.

But what can be confirmed is that the pomegranate peel can be dyed.

This has been recorded in history.

As long as the auxiliary mordant dyeing materials are properly prepared, pomegranate peels can be used to dye four colors of yellow, green, black and gray. The worst result is that the color will not be dyed at most. Anyway, the cloth will not be damaged. Si Ningning plans to give it a try. try.

Si Ning said clearly that he has no experience in dyeing cloth, but that is not the case in the eyes of others.

Especially in Jiang Yue's eyes.

With Si Ningning's various witty and excellent performances before, Jiang Yue has no doubts about Si Ningning's ability.

As soon as Si Ningning said that she wanted to try dyeing cloth, Jiang Yue squeezed to Si Ningning's side, her eyes widened and she wished she could raise her hands and feet to agree, "Call me when you are dyeing, bring me one, and I will dye it too!"

"Then I will dye it too!"

"That's me too!"

It's probably the same as Si Ningning's thinking. He thinks that the worst result of dyeing cloth is that it will not be dyed, and the cloth will not be damaged. Of course, there is nothing to worry about, so Xu Shuhua and the others are very active in participating.

"Okay, keep the pomegranate peels for now, and I'll call you guys when I'm free someday."

Anyway, when the time came, we would have to boil a big pot of water, and it wouldn't take too much trouble to dye them together, so Si Ningning agreed.

After the water was boiled, Si Ningning filled half a basin of hot water, mixed it with cold water and took a hasty shower, then went to bed and lay down.

It was still cold last night, and it felt chilly when I lay down today, but after being covered with a small quilt for a while, Si Ningning felt unbearably hot again, and kicked the quilt aside to feel better.

Si Ningning was thinking about going out tomorrow, and she wasn't sleepy at all. After waiting for half an hour, Xu Shuhua and the others fell asleep, she quietly left the room and walked into the space.

I dug up the soybean seeds that had been collected in the space before and planted them. At that time, I only caught two small handfuls, and there were about a hundred of them. Planting all of them only took up a small half-row of land, which was several ridges of land compared with the other ones nearby. Vegetables can't compare at all.

Of course, Si Ningning would not dislike the fact that there were too few of the seeds brought by poking them secretly. He only hoped that they would take root and germinate quickly, so that the next batch would be planted after a good harvest.

After going back and forth several times, the space can also be self-produced and sold.

Taking a stroll around to feed the chickens and pigs, Si Ningning walked to the place where the cucumbers were piled up before, and carried them to the kitchen twice, until the sink was full before stopping.

The jars that Huo Lang brought over had been cleaned beforehand, and Si Ningning had put them into the space early in the morning. Tonight, he planned to pickle two jars of cucumbers, give one jar to Huo Lang, and ask Huo Lang when he will go to the county for the other jar. Here, I will give it to Academician Liang when the time comes.

In fact, the educated youth spot also has a jar, which was used to put wild lilies in before, but the wild lilies have already been eaten, and now it is used by Si Ningning to put wooden hydrangeas.

Originally planning to put it in the space together, but when I thought about taking it out, others would definitely ask her when they saw it.

Fearing that it would be difficult to do it at that time, Si Ningning had no choice but to give up the idea, and planned to look for another opportunity to do it alone at the educated youth spot.

Turn on the faucet, wash the cucumbers one by one, put them in a basin, and move them to the table behind you. Put the cutting board on the shelf, cut the cucumbers into long strips, remove the flesh, add some salt, sugar, and white vinegar, mix well and marinate.

In the middle of the effort, Si Ningning dug out dried chilies, Chinese prickly ash and fresh ginger and garlic, and went to the field to pick a handful of green and red peppers.

Afterwards, wash and slice the ginger and garlic, and remove the seeds from the fresh peppers. Removing the seeds can reduce part of the spiciness, in order to prevent that Academician Liang may not be able to eat too spicy.

As for the dried chilies and peppercorns, add oil to the pan, fry until the fragrance is released, and then turn off the heat.

At this time, the cucumbers that had been marinated in advance had already lost their moisture. Si Ningning rinsed them with water, used kitchen absorbent paper to absorb the moisture on the surface of the cucumbers, and added sliced ​​ginger and garlic, and fresh peppers in turn.

In addition, there are two tablespoons of light soy sauce, one spoon of balsamic vinegar, one teaspoon of sugar, one spoon of pepper oil, and the fried oil is mixed well. In this way, a large pot of cold cucumber is ready finished.

Si Ningning directly stretched out his hand to pinch one and tasted it, it was hot and sour and refreshing, and the taste was very crunchy.

After eating two in a row, Si Ningning went to the faucet to wash his hands, put on disposable plastic gloves and started filling the altar.

This is a cold cucumber, not a pickled one. In fact, it is more suitable for storing in the refrigerator. Occasionally, it is a good choice whether it is served with rice or wine.

The main thing is that it will have a better taste and texture than pickles.

Good taste is good taste, but because it is not marinated in the sense, it is also very particular about packaging and sealing.
Si Ningning finished filling the two jars, poured the juice in the basin together, and added a spoonful of oil on the surface to seal off the air, so as to ensure that it could be stored at room temperature for a longer period of time.

After finishing two jars of cucumbers, Si Ningning dug out the mung bean starch.

The busy work just now was not considered tiring, but it was so late and he hadn't taken a shower yet. Si Ningning felt that his body was weak, so he took a break to study the idea of ​​going out to eat tomorrow, took a bowl of starch into the sea bowl, and prepared it simply Make a jelly.

Just put a bowl of water into the bowl of scooping starch and pour it into the sea bowl, mix the powder and water well, and mix until you can’t feel the starch lumps, then it’s qualified.

It was still the same bowl that scooped the starch just now. Si Ningning used it to add seven to eight bowls of water to the deep-slotted pan, boiled it until small bubbles appeared, and slowly added the starch water that he had just mixed into it.

This process must be slow, and it must be stirred continuously when controlling the speed to prevent powder lumps. When the starch water is completely poured into the pot, keep medium heat throughout.

To prevent the paste from sticking to the bottom of the pot, Si Ningning took a spoon for serving rice and stirred clockwise against the bottom of the pot. It lasted for about 2 to [-] minutes. The starch water in the pot gradually became viscous, and the color gradually changed from white at the beginning. becomes transparent.

Si Ningning paid attention to the changes in the pot, and kept stirring with his hands until small bubbles appeared around the edge of the small pot, and then burst again.

She thought it was almost done, and waited for another minute or so, guessing that the starch inside should have been completely cooked, so she extinguished the fire with a "shudder".
