Peasant Girl's Jingxiu Pastoral

Chapter 8
Yingyu handed the Houttuynia cordata she was holding to Yanyue, and went to the stove door to help her mother Fang's firewood. It didn't take long before the corn cakes were ready, and there were golden corn cakes lined up one by one. Sit one by one out of the pot.

Fang scooped up all the prepared golden tortillas and put them in the dish on the stove, and then used a spatula to dig a little lard out of the clay pot and put them in the pot. With a little salt, pour the washed cabbage into the pot and stir fry.

Seeing that her mother and sister were busy, Yanyue thought that Yuan would occasionally help out with the cooking at home. In this way, even if she cooked Houttuynia cordata by herself, her mother would not doubt it!

So he hurriedly took the cutting board and put it away, then picked up the kitchen knife on the side, and cut the Houttuynia cordata into sections, then found a small pot, grabbed the Houttuynia cordata and ate it Put it in a basin, then turned around and looked on the stove, and found several bottles, and then took them one by one, looked at them and smelled them, and found that there was salt and vinegar!There is also a small bottle of canola oil!
Yue Yue thought to himself that it would be better to put a little oil in the cold Houttuynia cordata, so he turned his head and said to his mother who was serving the vegetables: "Mother, please burn some rapeseed oil, it needs more oil to mix Houttuynia cordata. Use it a little bit."

Seeing her daughter saying this, Fang didn't say much, but picked up a spoon to scoop up a little oil on the spatula, then poured the oil on the spatula into the pot, watched the oil smoke, and said to him Yue said, "Yue'er, the oil is ready."

Immediately, Yue Yue put the wooden basin on the stove, and then gave Fang a bowl that was not very good looking, and asked her to scoop up the burnt oil with a spatula and put it in the bowl, and then picked it up. Take a bottle of table salt, scoop a little with a spoon and sprinkle it in the oil bowl.

Then he picked up the pot containing vinegar and poured vinegar in it. After putting some condiments in the house, Yan Yue raised his hand and took a pair of chopsticks to hold the oil bowl and stirred it.

After it was done, he took the oil bowl and poured the oil, salt and vinegar into the wooden basin, and then stirred it with chopsticks, and when the mixture was evenly mixed, he picked up a piece of Houttuynia cordata leaf After tasting it, I found that the Houttuynia cordata with a little rapeseed oil had a less strong fishy smell, and with vinegar and salt, the taste was not bad!
Yan Yue knew that although the family conditions were not good, fortunately, a little bit of rapeseed was planted on the one-third of an acre of land at home. Although the oil was not enough to eat, but with a little saving, he could still barely make ends meet.

Next, every stir-fried dish is just a little bit of lard or rapeseed oil, but it's better than no oil or water at all. Yanyue puts the mixed Houttuynia cordata in a bowl, and then takes the bowl out of the kitchen.

After walking out of the kitchen, he found his little brother was still running around in the yard, and immediately called out: "Little brother, wash your hands and eat, remember to call daddy!"

Then he turned around and entered the main room. In Yuanshen's memory, the family always ate in the main room, and every time after eating, the wooden table was placed in the corner of the main room. The wooden table in the corner of the main room, when I walked in, I found that it was an extremely old wooden table, square, not too big and not too small, with small holes of different sizes on the table, and it was obvious that it was bitten by wood insects. Yes, there are still one or two cracks on the entire tabletop. Even so, it will not make people doubt the quality of the wooden table. It is heavy and extremely clumsy, not like the light and easy wooden table in the 21st century!
Lu Yue was holding the dish, staring down at her

The thin and small body looked at it, and thought to himself that with only his small arms and legs, he really doubted whether he could move it.

Although Yue Yue thought so in her heart, but because she was also a farm child in her previous life and had the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work, she felt that everything in front of her was not a problem, and then proved that she could do it with practical actions.

Then he put the bowl he was carrying on the table, and with a lot of momentum, he easily moved the wooden table and placed it in the middle of the main room.

Due to the small size of the kitchen, as far as I know from memory, Yuanshen’s family always eats in the main room. There are only three main rooms with small kitchens in total. Since it is an adobe house, the roof is only made of better wood and thatch. But fortunately, the main room is open and bright, unlike the kitchen. When the weather is good, the kitchen can still have a little light, but it is very humid and dark when it is rainy!

As soon as Yue Yue put the wooden table, she found that her sister Yingyu was holding the dishes made by her mother in her left hand and a few pairs of chopsticks in her right hand. The two sisters looked at each other and smiled. Then the sisters arranged the wooden chairs again, and the five chairs were just enough for a family of five!

Mother Fang has also brought the ready-made corn cakes to the main room, sister Yingyu looked at the meals that had been set, and stood at the door of the main room, calling for her father and younger brother who were talking in the yard to eat!
After the family sat down, the two sisters each picked up the tortillas and handed them to each of their parents. Then the three siblings picked up the chopsticks and ate one after another.
