Chapter 15 Cake
"Two catties of lean meat, one catty of streaky meat, one pair of pigs, and one pig's head."

Liu Qingcao reported the meat she wanted, and the butcher took a look, and saw that it was a girl who had been here, turned around and cut the meat, tied it with a straw rope, and placed it on the chopping board.

"A total of 130 five cash, I will give you a pig's tail." The butcher tied the pig's tail to the pig's head and said heartily.

After Liu Qingcao counted out the money and handed it to the butcher, she happily put the meat into the basket, but the pig intestines were not easy to fit, so Liu Qingcao carried it in her hand alone.

In the vegetable market, Liu Qingcao bought some onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, cucumbers, green vegetables, leeks, and eggplants, and spent [-] Wen.

There are too few varieties of vegetables in this era, and there are only a few of them over and over again, and Liu Qingcao doesn't know what to buy.

Walking around, Liu Qingcao stopped at a place where chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits were sold.

It's been a long time since I've eaten poultry meat. I'll buy some and try it out to improve my food.

Liu Qingcao bought a rooster for 85 renminbi, about four catties, a big carp weighing more than three catties for [-] renminbi, and [-] eggs for [-] renminbi.

After buying almost everything, Liu Qingcao went to the seed shop to get some things and was about to go home. Looking at the pastry shop on the way, Liu Qingcao paused, and finally gave up.

Buy pastries to eat, it is better to go home and make them yourself!

Carrying a basket of things on her back, Liu Qingcao felt quite tiring, so she kept stepping out. Not long after, Liu Qingcao arrived at the entrance of the town, got on the bullock cart, and put the basket away.

Her basket was well organized, all the good things were put at the bottom, and the green vegetables were put on the top, so that there were no holes in them.

But the pig's intestines in his hand were extremely piercing, oh no, it was extremely pungent.

Embarrassed, Liu Qingcao lifted her intestines out of the bullock cart, and just like that, the taste was still not small, Liu Qingcao couldn't help it, so she had to pull the corners of her mouth in apology.

The woman on the bullock cart had a strange expression on her face, but she didn't say anything to reprimand her, which made Liu Qingcao feel relieved.

On the day of the summer solstice, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the heat wave in the air was coming. When they reached the entrance of the village, Liu Qingcao paid the money, got out of the bullock cart, put on a basket on his back, and left quickly.

"I'm so thirsty, Jiangbei, bring me a bowl of water." Liu Qingcao called out to Liu Jiangbei, who was practicing calligraphy under the house, as she entered the yard.

Seeing that his sister was sweating profusely from the heat, Liu Jiangbei quickly got up and went to the kitchen to pour water. The water was handed to Liu Qingcao, and he hurriedly walked to twist the handkerchief to wipe Liu Qingcao.

After drinking water, Liu Qingcao felt that the heat in her body had dropped a lot. Looking at the handkerchief her brother was holding, she praised her.

"Jiangbei is becoming more and more sensible."

Liu Jiangbei bowed his head in embarrassment, his face flushed.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Liu Qingcao didn't say any more, and asked him to sit on the bench.

The outside temperature is very high, but the temperature in the cellar of the firewood house is not high because Liu Qingcao puts ice, so Liu Qingcao puts the meat and vegetables she bought in the cellar to prevent them from spoiling.

Seeds, willows and grasses are placed in the firewood house, and after a few days the manure in the field is mixed and fermented, and then they can be planted.

"Jiangbei, do you eat fish or chicken for lunch?" Liu Qingcao asked in the firewood room.

Liu Jiangbei thought for a while: "Sister, let's eat chicken!"

"Okay, let's eat the chicken and raise the fish first."

The chicken willow and green grass were killed for three pieces of money, so that they could be carried in a basket. The carp had tenacious vitality, and they were still alive when they got home on such a hot day. If they died, Liu Jiangbei had no choice.

Liu Qingcao washed the chicken, put the internal organs aside, and marinated them together when they were brine at night.

A four-pound chicken can't be eaten in one meal. Liu Qingcao saved half of it and put it in the cellar to freeze for later eating.

The chicken is cut into small pieces and marinated with green onion and ginger for a while. During the marinating time, Liu Qingcao picks out the potatoes and green peppers and puts them away.

After the rice was cooked, Liu Qingcao started cooking. The kitchen was really hot on a hot day. After a while, Liu Qingcao was sweating.

As soon as the meal is ready, Liu Qingcao will bring it out.

Looking at the kitchen, I thought, the kitchen needs to be remodeled, otherwise it will be too hot and stuffy.

Roasted chicken with potatoes is indeed very fragrant. Although it is not so fragrant that it will float for 50 meters, [-] meters should be fine, but within a few hundred meters, they are the only ones. insect!

Liu Qingcao found that since she earned money, her life was better than that of the village head's family. According to the original owner's parents, the village head's family ate meat four times a month, and the whole family had an egg every seven days. I also have to eat meat, and myself, who eats meat and eggs almost every day, is not much different from the rich people in the town.

Liu Qingcao looked around and smiled.

It's still good to have money.

Liu Qingcao picked up a piece of meat and put it into the Liu Jiangbei bowl.

"Jiang Bei, eat it, there is still half left, and eat it in a few days."

"Got it, sister."

Liu Jiangbei took a mouthful of rice, nodded, picked up the chicken and ate happily.

In the past few days, Liu Jiangbei felt like he was dreaming. He was afraid that he had dreamed once. Every time he woke up, he had to pinch himself to believe that he was not dreaming.

After a meal, if you are full and full, Liu Qingcao wants to sleep. Liu Qingcao set an hour lunch break for Liu Jiangbei. He is small, and if he doesn't eat enough and sleep well, his body will not grow well. However, In this short period of half a month, she and Liu Jiangbei have grown some flesh, and their mental state has improved a lot.

Seeing that these two days were almost busy, Liu Qingcao also planned to start her lunch break after she relaxed.

After washing his face, Liu Qingcao took Liu Jiangbei to take a lunch break.

The time of enjoying always feels that it flies so fast, and after a while, an hour is here.

After waking up, Liu Qingcao began to wash the pigs and pigs' heads. After washing, they put them in the cellar, and then went to kneading noodles. Today, they passed by the pastry shop, and Liu Qingcao wanted to eat some snacks.

Flour, egg, brown sugar and water are put into the pot in proportion, and after mixing evenly, put it in the kitchen to ferment.

Liu Qingcao then went to fire the pottery kiln. After the egg powder was almost fermented, brush a layer of oil and egg yolk liquid on it, and put it into the kiln to bake. The temperature of the kiln was controlled and baked for 10 minutes.

Ten minutes later, Liu Qingcao opened the kiln, and a smell of chicken cakes came to her nostrils. This long-lost smell almost made her cry.

Liu Jiangbei began to secretly pay attention to it when his sister started making it. Now he was dumbfounded when he saw the fluffy maroon cake.

"Sister, sister, why did it change!" Liu Jiangbei opened his mouth wide, looking at Liu Qingcao in amazement and doubt.

"Jiangbei, this is a cake, sweet, let's go, let's eat it on the table." Liu Qingcao replied with a smile.

On the table, Liu Qingcao took a large piece of the cake in the basin with chopsticks and put it into the bowl in front of Liu Jiangbei.

"Jiangbei, try it quickly. It's delicious. It's delicious. I'll bake it next time." Liu Qingcao's eyes were full of stars, like a mother caring for her children.

Liu Jiangbei gently clamped a piece of it, and it was soft and fluffy. It looked delicious.

After eating it, Liu Jiangbei felt that the cake was more delicious than meat.

"Sister, it's delicious, you can eat it too." Liu Jiangbei took a piece and handed it to Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao watched and swallowed, then opened her mouth and ate it.

Sweet and soft, the taste is okay, but compared with the 21st century, it still lacks the taste.

Liu Qingcao was not disappointed either, after all, the materials here are not complete, and she is already very satisfied to make it like this.

Half of the cake in the basin was eaten, so Liu Qingcao put away the basin and stopped eating. It was not long before I ate lunch, if I eat more, my stomach will feel uncomfortable.

Liu Jiangbei followed Liu Qingcao with both eyes, and finally had no choice but to give up. The cake is delicious, but he can't make his sister angry just to eat more.

He can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
