Chapter 0006 What to eat at night

 After a brief tidying up, it was already getting dark, and in early summer it was also a bit sultry at night.

"Tomorrow I'll go to Blacksmith Hu and spend some money to buy a pot. I have to set up the stove first."

The family was sitting in the yard, and the old lady couldn't help but start to think about what to do next.

It’s just that everything has to be done tomorrow. How should we prepare dinner now?

‘Gululu…’

Nie Ling'er's stomach was the first to growl, but before she could feel embarrassed, Tongtong screamed: "Grandma, I'm hungry!"

Nie Ling'er couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw this. Although Nie Tong was young, he had a smart mind. He was speaking for himself.

However, with her current body shape, she does get hungry quickly, eats a lot, and her stomach growls endlessly all day long.

It’s just that Nie Ling’er knows what she should do. Dieting will definitely not work. Firstly, it is unhealthy. Even if she loses weight, she will easily regain weight. Secondly, living in this environment, physical strength is the key to survival. Dieting will make her become thinner.

She is weak, especially at her current weight. If her nutrition is not balanced, she is likely to get sick.

So you still have to eat, but you have to be in moderation, and you can’t eat until you’re full like before.

And she is very particular about what she eats. It must be both filling and nutritious without making her gain weight. Fortunately, she was a cook in her previous life and has a deep knowledge of nutrition.

When Tongtong shouted that he was hungry, Nie Baoer also touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry too."

Coincidentally, there was a smell coming from the front yard. It seemed that Nie Dahai's family was cooking, and Nie Xuan couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

It’s just that there is no kitchen at home right now, and even if there is a fire, there is no pot to cook.

The old lady thought for a while, then stood up: "Grandma, go and see your uncle and let them take care of this last meal."

In the old lady's heart, she cannot let a few children go hungry no matter what.

Besides, it's just a meal. Even if Ms. Xu doesn't want to in her heart, she won't refuse her old lady's request.

"Don't go to grandma."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the old lady got up, Nie Linger stopped her.

I saw Nie Ling'er say: "Since the family has been separated, we don't want to owe uncle any more favors."

"That's right, grandma, we don't eat from our uncle's family." Nie Baoer has the most stubborn personality, so he immediately said.

The two younger brothers also nodded, and Nie Tong even said: "Uncle and aunt are bad people and want to sell Tongtong."

Seeing the children reacting like this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and finally she couldn't bear to say, "But grandma can't just watch you go hungry..."

Hearing this, Bao'er ran to the old lady, hugged her, and said: "It doesn't matter, grandma, it's just a meal. You won't starve to death if you don't eat it. We just have to endure it. We won't stop until we fall asleep at night."

I know I’m hungry.”

These words made the old lady blush immediately. She seemed to be thinking of her deceased son Nie Yuanyang. The old lady only felt guilty in her heart.

At this moment, Nie Ling'er suddenly stood up, and then said to Nie Xuan: "Xuan, go get some dry wood and make a fire. We won't cook if there is no pot, but we can eat something else."<

/p>

Nie Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, we can bake some potatoes and sweet potatoes."

When the old lady heard this, she nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea."

Nie Ling'er smiled and greeted Nie Bao'er: "Bao'er, come with me to the warehouse to see what can be baked."

"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Upon seeing this, Tongtong followed Ling'er in a hurry.

The children chatted and laughed and got busy. When the old lady saw her grandchildren who were still optimistic despite adversity, she couldn't tell whether she felt distressed or comforted. In short, she had mixed feelings.

Especially Ling'er, this child has changed so much that it can be described as a rebirth. The old lady has no doubt about her. She only hopes that she can continue to be like this and completely get rid of the past.

When we came to the warehouse, all the things we got from the family today were placed here.

"Sister, there are some potatoes here. There are not many sweet potatoes left, only less than ten kilograms. There are also some beans and dates!"

Nie Bao'er put everything away, so she took the initiative to tell Nie Ling'er.

In fact, Nie Bao'er's attitude towards Nie Ling'er changed for the better after Nie Ling'er started to make changes after his father's death.

In the past, Nie Ling'er only had eyes for herself and only wanted to make herself comfortable. She rarely took care of her younger brothers and sisters, and often snatched their food.

Nie Bao'er has a very strong personality, and she and Nie Ling'er always get into arguments, but in the end, blood is thicker than water, and quarrels always end in quarrels. In the end, Nie Bao'er will still share her food with Nie Ling'er.

Nie Ling'er inherited some sporadic memories of these things from the original owner, so she was particularly kind to Nie Bao'er after time travel, and Nie Bao'er also began to slowly change his attitude towards this sister.

While listening to Bao'er's words, Nie Ling'er was not idle and started rummaging around.

She saw a sack filled with fresh corn that had not yet taken off its leaves. She had just seen the soft white sugar, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Bao'er, do we share the bowls and chopsticks?" Nie Ling'er asked sideways.

Nie Bao'er nodded: "We've got the distribution. Originally, there were only one set of dishes and chopsticks for each person in the family. When the family was separated, they were distributed to us."

With that said, Bao'er stepped forward and turned it out, then picked up a large bowl and handed it to Nie Ling'er: "Sister, it's here."

Nie Ling'er took the bowl and looked around carefully to confirm that the bowl was made from a green kiln. Although it was fragile, it could withstand the fire.

Although the caramel is a little smaller, it can still be used.

Thinking of this, Nie Ling'er couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips: "Bao'er, take ten sticks of corn and sugar. I know what to make."

"Roast corn, sister?" Nie Baoer seemed to know what Nie Ling'er was thinking, but...

"What are you doing with the sugar?" Nie Baoer asked shamelessly.

Nie Ling'er showed a mysterious smile: "You will know in a moment!"

It was rare to see her sister showing such a natural smile, and Nie Baoer couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After coming out of the warehouse, Nie Xuan had already lit a fire with firewood in the middle of the yard. Nie Tong jumped up and down and shouted: "Grandma, sister wants to roast corn for us."

As he approached, Nie Ling'er said to several people: "This is not ordinary roasted corn."

Nie Xuan also had a question mark on his face: "Sister, roasted corn is just roasted corn, what other ways can it be roasted?"

Nie Ling'er immediately raised her eyebrows and said: "Anyway, it's roasted corn that you haven't eaten before. Go and help sister take out a piece of iron sheet from the warehouse."

In this era, especially in rural areas, although agricultural products are abundant, the methods are relatively simple.

Especially the original method of roasting corn and roasting potatoes, you only need to roast the ingredients, and you can eat the taste of the ingredients themselves.
