The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 64 Straw Target and Coconut Milk Tea

Just when Pei Zhiqi was caught in a thousand threads, feeling helpless and helpless, he suddenly felt the bed next to him move.

Wrapped in the quilt again, Li Xiaodao moved towards the husband-in-law, this time she was very close.

The husband in the bed was still holding his hand tightly, not letting go at all.

She leaned out from under the quilt a little, and whispered in Xianggong's ear, "Don't worry, Xianggong, I can take care of myself. And I think that Xianggong will definitely be able to pass the exam. Everything will go smoothly. Don't think about it." That's too much!"

After finishing speaking, she shrank back to the bed and smiled at the husband.

The round smiling face is full of dimples, and the smile is very cute.

Miss, does this have mind reading skills?Pei Zhiqi turned over and lay on his wife's side, trying to give her a smile back, but couldn't.

"Sanggong, I'm an adult, not a child, don't worry! I won't bother you with your studies, and I'll definitely visit you when there are lectures!"

It's easy to guess what Xianggong is thinking, if there is any trouble recently, it is this.

A person may not get used to sleeping alone at first, but the habit is formed, and it will be fine after a long time. Li Xiaodao is quite optimistic.

When I first got married, I was not used to sharing the same bed with my husband, but now that he is not around, it is no good. When he goes to the academy later, he will form a new habit. She quickly convinced herself.

That night Li Xiaodao fell asleep first, but Pei Zhiqi couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

*

Early the next morning, Li Xiaodao got up early after a long time to exercise with his husband.

There are not many movements in that sword manual, Xianggong has learned it long ago, and now he repeats it every day.

After exercising and eating the delicious breakfast cooked by her husband, Li Xiaodao said that she wanted to go to the market to buy something, so Pei Zhiqi accompanied her and bought some fresh vegetables, meat and seafood.

When I went to the market, I found coconuts for sale. They should have been shipped from a warm place hundreds of miles away.

Li Xiaodao bought a coconut, some fresh milk, and some sugar at home, and carried them with his husband, and went home happily.

This morning, Pei Zhiqi was making haystacks for his wife in the yard. He carried a bundle of straws for fire and put them in the yard. Li Xiaodao watched from the side, played with the straws for a while, and made some straws that he recognized. Something that doesn't come out.

Pei Zhiqi thought about it. If he wanted to practice throwing knives, he felt that fixing the haystack to the courtyard wall was the most stable.

He adopts the method of weaving grass piers, but the height does not need to be so high, and the weaving can be thinner.

It is also very fast to weave. First weave the straw into two parallel long braids, and then roll them up, so that the upper and lower sides are fine, and the middle is empty; then weave a long straw rope and wrap it The middle is tightly wrapped, and such a grass mound is made.

To practice throwing knives for the lady, the pier does not need to be too thick, so the distance between the upper and lower braids is closer, and the consumption of straw rope is not much. Then weaved the haystack.

After weaving the haystacks in the afternoon, Pei Zhiqi borrowed tools and wooden nails from his brother-in-law next door, fixed the haystacks on the courtyard wall, cleaned up the remaining straw stalks on the ground, returned the tools, and went to the kitchen to ask his wife to come out to "inspect the project" ".

That's right, after lunch, the lady didn't play with him with straw poles, but fiddled with something in the kitchen by herself.

The soaked Jinjunmei tea leaves, sugar, and milk are all ready, and the only thing left is the coconut meat.

It took Li Xiaodao a lot of effort to make a hole in the coconut, and after pouring the coconut water into the bowl, it took a lot of effort to split the coconut shell in half.

Finally, it was time to dig out the coconut meat.

But this knife is a bit big, the coconut shell is round, and the knife doesn't work when it goes in. After digging for a long time, she always felt that the angle was wrong, and she didn't get much out after much effort.

It would be much more convenient if his willow-leaf knife was ready, but the blacksmith shop owner said it would take five or six days before he could pick it up.

When Pei Zhiqi entered the kitchen, he happened to see Li Xiaodao concentrating on but clumsily picking out the coconut meat, so he didn't even notice that Xianggong entered the kitchen.

She slashed deeply with a knife and cut shallowly. She dug hard and didn't dig out much.

Suddenly when she tried again, the knife slipped and the blade hit the left hand holding the coconut.

"Oops!" Li Xiaodao yelled involuntarily, Pei Zhiqi saw that the lady hurt her hand, so she hurried forward to check.

"Msg... Mr. Xianggong, when did you come in?"

Pei Zhiqi didn't answer, took the lady's hand to examine it carefully, and said worriedly: "Fortunately, the knife is not good, the skin was cut a little, and there is no bleeding..."

It's okay if there is no bleeding, Pei Zhiqi looked at the lady and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Li Xiaodao shook his head: "It doesn't hurt very much. I was not careful. I will be more careful next time."

Li Xiaodao turned his head and looked at the pitted coconut on the chopping board, shook his head and said, "It's too difficult, it's too difficult to eat a coconut."

Pei Zhiqi chuckled and said, "The coconut meat has to be peeled from the shell to get it out. If you cut it like this, the inside will be round, so it's not easy to use a knife."

"Ah? So what should we do now? Oh yes, you can dig it with a spoon!" Li Xiaodao felt that she was smart again.

Pei Zhiqi shook his head and said, "Don't bother. Let me try."

Next, Li Xiaodao admired the performance of the same knife that did not work well in her hand, and was very obediently cutting coconut shells in the hands of her husband.

Pei Zhiqi buckled half of the coconut shell on the table, and peeled it from the outside to the inside. After a few cuts, the white and tender coconut meat was exposed.

Li Xiaodao applauded: "That's great!"

Pei Zhiqi continued, peeling out the coconut meat bit by bit. When it was difficult to start with the last bit, he turned it over and cut the remaining coconut meat from the shell with a horizontal knife like a slice.

After processing half of it, cut the other half, and then cut the coconut meat into small cubes according to the lady's instructions, and put them in a bowl.

"That's great! Mr. Xianggong!" Li Xiaodao couldn't help but hugged Pei Zhiqi's waist and shook it. Before Pei Zhiqi could react, he was pushed out of the kitchen by the lady again.

Li Xiaodao said with a smile: "Master, wait in the hall for a while, I'll make you something delicious!"

Great, the most difficult process has been solved, and the coconut milk tea is half done!

Then Li Xiaodao put on a small fire, first fried the sugar, and when the sugar was a little browned, poured the soaked tea leaves into the pot and fried it with the sugar for a while, then added water to the pot.

She used a bowl to measure the amount, which was enough for her and her husband to drink two large teacups each. Then she boiled the water, and then boiled it for a while until white foam appeared on the water.

If the tea taste does not need to be very strong, it does not need to be boiled for a long time, then pour in the fresh milk that was made in the morning, stir while cooking, and when the milk is boiled, the homemade simple milk tea is ready!
Li Xiaodao brought two large teacups from the hall, put a little coconut meat chopped by Xianggong at the bottom of the teacups, and then poured the boiled milk tea into them.

Clap both hands, perfect!

Without a straw, Li Xiaodao could only match each teacup with a spoon, and then carried two cups of milk tea into the hall.

"Xianggong, the milk tea is ready, come and taste it!" She happily brought the milk tea to the table in the hall, gave a cup to Xianggong sitting in front of the table, and then sat down and tasted another cup.
