Chapter 66 66. Work in space

The two of them got engaged was decided, and the next thing was the elders discussing the details. Seeing that there was nothing he had, Lin Qingxi proposed to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, leaving Zhou Mingbai in the main hall, and took Zhou Mingmin and Xie Lu to the kitchen with her three children.

"Xi girl, what kind of dishes do you want to cook? I'll help you," Zhou Mingmin rolled up her sleeves and prepared to work.

"Sister Mingmin, go to my kitchen and get two fried fish, and then go to the cellar to get two cabbages. There are still some raw meat left here, and there are also vermicelli and sauerkraut. You are bringing a few ribs and potatoes," Lin Qingxi said while doing the work. Xie Lu was already consciously sitting on the stove to make a fire.

There was basically no leftover of cooked tea at the lunch banquet, and it was all made of lettuce. Everyone ate all the dishes on the table. The kitchen was not cleaned up by Aunt Sun and his daughter, and the things were neatly arranged. You can find anything you want to take at a glance.

Lin Qingxi washed the raw meat and placed it beside it, then cut some green onion and ginger, then washed the sauerkraut and vermicelli. Just as the pan was hot, pour oil and put the pork in the pan, stir-fry the green onion, ginger and salt. When the oil was half out, he brought the bowl to serve the oil, then added half a pot of cold water to the pan and covered the pot.

The stove in the yard has not been removed and the iron pot is still placed on it. Lin Qingxi thought that she could not waste it, so she ignored Zhou Mingmin let the stove outside burn and steam the steamed buns left at noon.

After stewing for about half an hour, the pork in the pot was also soft and glutinous. Lin Qingxi quickly put the vermicelli and sauerkraut into the pot and continued to stew. After stewing for about ten minutes, Lin Qingxi brought two basins and put them on the stove.

Then, Lin Qingxi made thickening of braised fish, poured it on top of the fried fish, and asked Zhou Mingmin to take it out and steam it in a cage outside.

After washing the pot, Lin Qingxi started to make steamed pork ribs, put the ribs and potatoes in the pot and fry them in oil, then put them out, put a few star anise inside and stir evenly, then put them in the cage outside to steam.

Zhou Mingmin cut the potatoes into shreds, and stir-fry them with chopped chili peppers. The cabbage is still stir-fried, and the white radish or boiled shreds of radish.

Lin Qingxi chopped the remaining ribs into pieces and blanched them, then fryed them in oil until golden brown, and then made sweet and sour ribs. After all the six dishes were prepared, Zhou Mingmin took the dishes to the main hall and called Aunt Sun back to set up the dishes.

Aunt Sun and Zhou Mingchen were both quick-witted people. They set up their dishes and announced that they had started. Two tables were placed in the main hall, one table was the elders, Zhou Mingbai and Lin Qingxi on both sides, and the other table was the Zhou Mingmin and the children.

During the meal, the parents on both sides were very enthusiastic about the chat and ate while chatting. They quickly settled the details of the engagement. Lin Qingxi had no objection to the things given by the Zhou family. After all, Zhou Mingxi had already given her his private money. It doesn't matter whether she gave the other things or not. She would accept them if she didn't give them. She would not ask for them if she didn't give them.

After dinner, Zhou Mingbai and Lin Qingxi sent Zhou Daye and the others home, and then Lin Qingxi also returned to their own home. Zhou Guitang and his family returned home by themselves. Zhou Mingbai's grandparents and the grandparents of the Sun family also lived there.

Nowadays, when relatives call for chewing, they usually have several representatives from the family. The Sun family comes with Zhou Mingbai's grandparents, his eldest and second uncles, so the others stay at home to guard the house.

Fortunately, there are many houses in the Zhou family, and everyone has to live in it. Although there is not enough bedding, the kang is burned enough and the thin quilt is not cold.

Lin family, Lin Qingxi went to burn the kang in her house when she got home, and also burned the kang in the main hall. She would definitely not go to bed immediately after she finished eating, and she had to boil water and wash dishes.

His big iron pot is still at Zhou's house. Zhou knew that he had already gone back to get the iron pot. He said that he would let her rest in the main hall and come over to brush the pot and boil water for her later.

After Zhou understood that it would be half an hour later to boil the water, Lin Qingxi asked Zhou Ming to fetch water for herself, so she went back to the house to get clothes. Anyway, hot water was enough, so Lin Qingxi took a hot bath.

After Lin Qingxi finished taking a shower, she washed her close-fitting clothes and hanged them in the room. When she went to the main hall, she saw Zhou Mingbai also changed her clothes in the main hall, holding paper and pen and writing something on the kang table.

"What's wrong? What are you writing?" Lin Qingxi asked curiously, walking towards the kang while saying that, taking off her shoes, sitting cross-legged on the kang bed, and covering her legs with the thin quilt next to her.

"My mother just gave it to me for the list of things to buy tomorrow," Zhou Mingbai continued without raising his head: "She asked me to see if there were any missing things and made up for it myself. She also gave me 1,000 yuan by the way. If I see a few large items, I will buy them together."

"Well, it's getting late. Do you want to go back and rest? You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the city to buy things," Lin Qingxi said with her head tilted and looked at Zhou Mingbai.

She was not sleepy, but she just wanted to go into the space to do some work. Because the Zhou family lived at home, she hadn't been in the space for a long time, so she could only take a rough look in the space every day.

"Yes, then I'll go back first," Zhou Mingbai said and got up and came to Lin Qingxi, hugged her, then got off the kang and walked outside. Lin Qingxi stood up and followed him, and he had to close the gate of the courtyard.

After Zhou Mingdi left, Lin Qingxi locked the courtyard door and came to the main hall. She blew out the oil lamp and entered the space. There was no distinction between four seasons in the space, and all kinds of crops and animals were well.

Lin Qingxi first harvested the crops that could be harvested, and then turned over the soil and replanted them. This time, she planted all rice, wheat and sweet potatoes.

Where to grow vegetables, Lin Qingxi planted all peppers, eggplant, pumpkin, tomatoes, watermelons, melons, white radish and cabbage.

On the other side of the orchard, Lin Qingxi picked the fruits and put them in frames and placed them in the warehouse. She watered and fertilized the fruit trees. Lin Qingxi came to the empty plaza and began to make fires and boil water.

After the water boiled, Lin Qingxi blanched all the batch of glass canned bottles he bought from the glass factory with boiling water and disinfected them, then wiped the water and put it aside for later use, and then boiled a pot of hot water again.

While boiling water, Lin Qingxi cleaned the picked fruits, peeled the fruits, cut the flesh into pieces and sorted them in the wooden barrel next to it.

After the water in the pot boiled, Lin Qingxi turned to low heat, then poured two pounds of white sugar he bought in, stirred constantly with a shovel. After the sugar melted, Lin Qingxi poured a portion of each of the cut pulp and cooked on low heat for two or three minutes.

After cooking for two or three minutes, the heat was removed, and after the can of sugar water cooled, it was put into a glass jar and sealed.
