Chapter 11 Get the food done first(1/2)

Zhao Ce listened to the little girl's whisper.

He couldn't help but nodded her little forehead in a funny way.

"Eat."

“Although we don’t have much rice at home, there’s no need to worry.”

"Tomorrow I will go to the bookstore in the city to see if I can take on some book copying work."

"Let's get the food for this period of time first."

Su Cai'er nodded her head and took the initiative to assign tasks to herself.

"Tomorrow I will go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables and chop some firewood and come back."

The two of them divided the work and drank the porridge from the pot.

Su Cai'er touched her swollen belly after drinking porridge, and arched her eyebrows with satisfaction.

So full!

I used to cook some brown rice porridge at home.

When I'm really hungry and can't stand it anymore, I put in a few more grains of rice.

But after only one day at my husband's house, I was full.

Zhao Ce next to him also drank a lot of water.

I drank two meals of white porridge in a row, and now I feel a little bland in my mouth.

If you continue to eat like this, it will definitely not work.

Modern people are accustomed to delicacies from all over the world, and the taste is quite strong.

Even if you have white porridge, you still need pickles.

Not to mention that Zhao Ce is a grown man with no meat or oil.

I had two meals of tasteless white porridge as my main meal, and it always felt like I hadn’t eaten.

However, I saw the little girl next to me with her big eyes narrowed and a satisfied look on her face.

Zhao Ce also felt that it would be good to clear the stomach occasionally.

After dinner, Su Caier cleaned up the kitchen.

Zhao Ce then stood guard in front of the soup pot.

The water inside has almost evaporated.

There is already a layer of white frosting stuck to the wall of the pot above.

Stir it a few times with chopsticks.

More and more white sugar granules came out from underneath.

Pull away the rest of the fire, leaving only a few burning charcoal pieces.

Zhao Ce took his chopsticks and fished inside a few more times.

Su Cai'er happened to wash the dishes and heard her husband say happily.

"It's done!"

She also happily put down the things in her hands and leaned over to look at it.

Zhao Ce showed her the sugar stuck to the chopsticks.

"Look, this is sugar."

The sugar is not completely dry yet, but you can already see its appearance clearly.

Su Cai'er was surprised to see the crystal clear white sugar grains.

"This is sugar!"

"It's so beautiful."

The little girl's almond-shaped eyes were slightly rounded due to surprise.

It really worked!

My husband actually made sugar from charcoal!

Zhao Ce said with a smile: "After the sugar in the pot is dried a little more, it can be poured into a bowl to dry."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Ce said: "Tomorrow I will take these candies to the city and ask if they will accept them."

"If you can sell it at a good price, then buy some more sugar and purify it."

"This way we can have a decent business."

"By the way, let's try it to see if it's sweet or not."

After saying that, Zhao Ce directly handed the pair of chopsticks stained with a lot of sugar granules to the little girl's mouth.

Tell her to taste the sugar granules on top.

The little girl was stunned for a moment and seemed to have no reaction.

He said stupidly: "Husband, just taste it."

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "I don't like eating sweets like this, please try it for me."

Su Cai'er stupidly stretched out her pink tongue and gently licked the sugar particles on the chopsticks.

After licking it, his little mouth smacked, and he subconsciously said: "It's so sweet..."

After saying that, I was shocked to realize what I had done.

He raised his head with a slightly warm face and glanced at the tall man in front of him.

Zhao Ce was also a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly.

——The weather is too hot, and the kitchen is a little hot too...

This little girl is thin and small, just like a child.

What makes you uncomfortable?

Putting aside the discomfort in his mind, Zhao Ce said, "Then I'll leave some for you to eat at home?"

Su Cai'er quickly shook her head and refused.

"No, it's too expensive."

"Can I take it to the city and exchange it for a lot of money? In exchange for the money, I can buy some white rice."

There is really nothing we can do about the current conditions at home.

He signaled the little girl to take the chopsticks and eat all the sugar granules on it.

Su Cai'er took the chopsticks and pursed her lips shyly.

Zhao Ce asked her to wash her chopsticks after eating, and then take a bath with warm hot water in the pot.

He walked out of the kitchen.

After letting out a gentle breath, Zhao Ce saw that the sun had almost set.

There was only a little afterglow left in the sky.

There was nothing much to do at night in this ancient time.

I've sweated a lot today, so I'd better wash up and go to bed early.

He directly took the clean clothes the little girl found and went to the patio to fetch water for a bath.

When I lowered my head and saw the ribs on my body, I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

"I'll get up early tomorrow and have to do some exercise."

Wow.

A bucket of water was poured down directly.

The sultry air also instantly became much cooler.

By the time Zhao Ce finished washing, the sky had gradually darkened.

Zhao Ce knocked lightly at the kitchen door.

After receiving Su Cai'er's response, she opened the door and walked in.

The little girl had just finished washing, with a blush on her face.

When he saw Zhao Ce coming in, he glanced at him with his big, watery eyes.

Then he quickly lowered his head.

"Husband, you have washed too? There is still hot water in the pot."

There's just a little bit of hot water simmering in the pot. Didn't the little girl finish it?
