After buying the meat, the two of them headed back home. Because they had more things to carry, the one between them walked slower, and it took half an hour longer than the time they went there.
He Yunxi had not walked such a long journey for a long time. When he got home, he felt like his whole body was paralyzed.
She was also a little confused. Based on the amount of exercise today, her body should be more tired. But except for the sore legs and lack of strength, she had no major reaction.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!" When the little guys saw the two coming back, they all gathered around and were shocked when they saw the things in the baskets.
Lu Yunjiao was shocked when she saw those things: "Brother, second brother just bought so much brown rice and black flour yesterday, why did you buy so much grain again?"
"Your sister-in-law bought these." Lu Yan responded, attracting others to look at He Yunxi.
Did your sister-in-law buy these?
The expressions of the little guys turned pale. She had asked them to help buy some things before, but she never gave them to them to eat, so the white rice, meat and sugar had nothing to do with them.
He Yunxi took out the sugar. This sugar was not as fine as white sugar, but like rock sugar in the previous life. She took one out and stuffed it into Lu Yunqing's mouth, "Does it taste good?"
Lu Yunqing nodded: "It's delicious!"
She asked the other children: "Do you want to eat?"
Several people shook their heads.
In the past, she would be scolded for anything she bought, let alone eat it. Although the sister-in-law was different from before, they still didn't want to eat it. What if they were scolded again?
He Yunxi felt a little distressed when he saw how they clearly wanted to eat but refused.
The children she met in her previous life could still afford sweets no matter how poor their conditions were. How could they suppress their nature like this?
He Yunxi took three pieces of candy and ate them. Each person put one in his mouth and said, "Okay, if you eat my candy, you have to help me work. Now help me put those things in the kitchen."
Lu Yunjiao didn't even see how she did it, and the candy went into their mouths. They were about to spit it out, but after hearing her words, they stopped planning to spit it out. She rolled up her sleeves and went to clean it up with the younger ones.
Things in the backpack.
She saw the packages of spices and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this the medicine you prescribed? Why are they all packed separately?"
"These are medicinal materials, or seasonings, used to make food." He Yunxi replied.
"Using medicinal materials as seasoning? Won't it kill people?"
"Of course not. This is not poison, how could it kill people?" He Yunxi liked these condiments very much, and his eyes lit up when he talked about them. "Every time I cook, I only add a little to enhance the flavor. It's not too much and it won't hurt. And these are occasionally used.
Eat it, it will be good for your health."
"Can it still be like this? If you add medicinal herbs to the dish, won't it taste awful?"
"Of course not. If it tastes bad, why would I buy it?" He Yunxi said, "When I make it for you to eat, you will know how it tastes. You will definitely like it."
Several people were hesitant about her words and thought they would not eat it if it tasted bad.
"Sister-in-law, this smells so stinky, why did you buy it?" Lu Ming asked, pointing to the bucket of pig offal.
"Eat!" He Yunxi said, "It's just right, Brother, come and help me clean these large intestines."
"What?" Lu Ming was shocked and shook his head decisively to refuse, "It smells so bad, I don't want to wash it."
He Yunxi sighed: "I have to prepare dinner. If you don't wash it, I will have to ask your elder brother to wash it."
Lu Ming admired Lu Yan very much, so how could he let him wash these smelly things, so he carried the things to the well with a dark face and washed them.
Lu Yunqing tugged at He Yunxi's clothes: "Sister-in-law, that one smells really bad. It smells like cake when cooked. It's unpalatable."
He Yunxi felt that this little girl was so bold now that she even dared to pull her clothes off.
"You have eaten?"
Lu Yunqing shook his head and said seriously: "No. But the Erniu in the village ate it, and he said it was particularly unpleasant. His mouth smelled bad that time. Others in the village who had eaten it also said it was smelly.
"
He Yunxi touched her head and said, "That's because they didn't clean it thoroughly and the way they did it was wrong."
"The one that can't be washed clean will still stink no matter how you wash it."
"You'll find out after you wait and see." After He Yunxi finished speaking, he took a dustpan to the kitchen and filled up a lot of plant ash. He came to Lu Ming and said, "Use this to wash."
"Is this used to wash pig intestines?"
Did the sister-in-law hit her head and was knocked unconscious?
"Just use this." He Yunxi said, "After washing the outside, turn the intestines out, pull out the oil inside and throw it away, and then wash it several times with plant ash."
"Can this be cleaned?"
"Can."
Seeing He Yunxi's insistence, Lu Ming had no choice but to listen to her and wash the pig intestines with plant ash.
He Yunxi actually dislikes washing with plant ash. In her previous life, she used flour to wash. But now there is no way. There is not enough flour to eat, let alone use it to wash pig intestines.
Lu Yunjiao and the others finished moving their things and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are we doing?"
"You don't have to do anything, just wait for dinner." He Yunxi said, "If you feel embarrassed, just give me a hand."
"good."
He Yunxi went to the kitchen, took out the meat and fat and asked Lu Yunjiao to wash it. When she came back, he asked her to pound the rock sugar. She cut the fat into pieces, poured it all into the pot, and added
Add water, light fire and boil oil.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you light the fire." Lu Yunqing came to the stove and started lighting the fire skillfully. It seems that she has done this job a lot.
"Okay, thank you, little sister."
Lu Yunqing said shyly: "You're welcome, sister-in-law."
She was very happy, and her sister-in-law would say thank you now.
While the oil was boiling, He Yunxi sliced the pork belly again, kept some lean meat from the clip meat, and chopped all the rest. Then he chopped the wild vegetables picked today and put them together, and asked Lu Yunjiao to pound a few spices into powder.
Mix salt, soy sauce, spice powder and onion and ginger together.
At this time, the lard is almost cooked. The originally turbid oil has turned into clear water, and the edge oil has turned into golden residue.
She filtered out the oil residue, put the oil into a clay pot, then put the pork belly in and fried it. After the oil came out, she put it in a bowl and put it in the cupboard.
Lu Yunqing smelled the aroma of meat and his mouth watered. When he saw her putting it on, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to eat meat tonight?"
"Save that for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." He Yunxi said, "Let's eat dumplings tonight."
Lu Yunqing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Eating dumplings?"
"Well. Third sister, there's no need to light the fire for now. Let's go make some noodles."
As soon as He Yunxi mixed the flour, Lu Ming came in carrying smelly sesame water. His whole face was dark and he looked very unhappy.
