Chapter 108 The Kitchen is Busy
Chapter 108 The Kitchen is Busy
Lin Sitian, who followed Bai Zhiqing back to the yard, had no idea what had happened.
Even on the way back to the yard, he just discussed with Bai Zhiqing what to eat now. After all, during the autumn harvest, the food had to be taken to the fields and eaten, and could not be eaten in the yard as usual.
In such a situation, we must ensure that the food is nutritious, but we must also be careful not to do anything too extreme so as not to attract the attention of other people in the team.
And if they have to pack the food and bring it to the fields, it can't be too complicated. After all, there are only two of them and they can't carry so much food.
Fortunately, they had the foresight to take their lunch boxes to the fields after breakfast in the morning, and each of them also brought some candy, biscuits, or boiled eggs with them.
Because of this, only the two of them were needed to cook. After cooking, they put the food in a large container and brought it to the ground, then scooped it into their lunch boxes with a spoon.
On the way back, they discussed for a long time and finally decided to make multi-grain pancakes as the staple food. After all, this kind of pancake can be made close to the edge of the pot, which is very convenient and quick.
Besides, multi-grain pancakes are not out of the ordinary. Anyway, you can still eat dinner in the small courtyard in the afternoon, and just have rice for dinner in the afternoon.
They decided to make a big pot dish: braised pork ribs with potatoes and beans, and add some pork belly or something like that.
This way you can make a side dish and also keep the main dish on the side of the pot. It has meat, vegetables and pancakes, which is simple, fast and nutritious.
After deciding all this, the two returned to the kitchen and did everything in an orderly manner. Lin Sitian was responsible for scraping potatoes, cutting potato cubes or washing beans.
Bai Zhiqing was responsible for washing the ribs and smoking the meat, as well as making the grains into pancakes.
After the two of them worked hard, Lin Zhiqing was finally responsible for making the fire, while Bai Wanting was responsible for making pancakes and stewing the big pot of vegetables.
Seeing that the work was basically done and that even if Bai Zhiqing left midway, it would not have a big impact on the pot, Lin Sitian came up with a reason to send Bai Zhiqing out and said:
"Sister Lin, can you please help me get the small bottle from the third drawer of the second cabinet in my clinic?
That's the medicinal powder I prepared in advance. It can relieve the soreness in the arms and legs after exertion. I thought adding it to the meal would help alleviate their fatigue."
When Bai Wanting heard about this good news, she walked out of the kitchen without thinking and went to get the so-called medicine powder.
In fact, the powder was calcium tablets that Lin Sitian had taken out from the space in advance. She ground the powder into powder and put it into a special bottle, just waiting for the situation today. Anyway, calcium tablets can be taken by everyone and will not harm the body.
After seeing Bai Wanting leave the kitchen, Lin Sitian ran to the door to make sure that Bai Wanting would not look back halfway, then she used her consciousness to sink into the space, and used a special bowl to scoop two bowls of water from the spiritual spring in the space and pour it into the pot.
After doing all this, she calmed herself down and pretended to be seriously making a fire.
After Bai Wanting came back, she looked at the little girl sitting obediently by the stove and said excitedly, "Xiao Lin Zhiqing, Xiao Lin Zhiqing, look and see if this is what you are talking about."
Lin Sitian took the bottle from Bai Wanting and examined it carefully. She opened the cork and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was the calcium tablets she had ground into powder, she nodded and said,
"Yes, that's it. Sister Bai, do you think we should add it directly to his rice, or take it to the fields and add it to their water bottles?"
Bai Wanting thought about it, and smelled the aroma coming from the pot. She still couldn't bear to ruin her own pot of food. What if the medicinal powder tasted bad? So she said:
"I think this bottle isn't too big. It would be better if we could put it in our pockets and add it to our water bottles when we get to the fields. I think that would be better."
Lin Sitian thought that adding the spiritual spring water into the pot would also achieve the purpose she had just mentioned of relieving the pain in her waist and legs.
After eating this pot of food and taking calcium tablets, my body felt better, so I said, "Okay, I think this is okay and more convenient. Sister Bai, you must not forget it. I'm afraid I will forget it by then.
And wow, that Brother Zhou is here to help me with the work, so I'll treat him to a meal, and I'll bring five duck eggs to our kitchen to replenish it."
Bai Wanting thought about it and agreed, because she knew that the people in the yard would not mind such a small matter.
But it would be bad if this matter got out. I'm afraid that if the old educated youth knew that Zhou Tinghao was eating here and nothing had happened, those who like to take advantage of others would come here to eat.
Now that they had received these duck eggs from Lin Zhiqing, it was like they had bought a meal. If anyone asked, they could say that it was Lin Zhiqing's brother who paid for the duck eggs and was treating their buddy to a meal. After all, the two siblings had dinner at the captain's house yesterday.
Now, as long as the heat is right and the time is right, the food can be served, so the kitchen is now idle.
There were two large pots and one or two kettles for boiling water in the kitchen of their small courtyard. So since it was not busy during this period of time, Bai Wanting filled the kettle with water and sat next to it to boil water.
Lin Sitian looked at the kettle boiling next to her and said, "Sister Bai, please help me watch the fire here first. I'll go to my room to get some mung beans and sugar.
Let's boil a pot of mung bean water. It will help cool us down a bit, and we can also drink it when we're thirsty while eating or eating pancakes. It's much better than just hot water."
After hearing this, Bai Wanting looked at the kitchen and thought for a while before saying, "Let me look. I think there's sugar and mung beans in the kitchen. I remember they're in that cabinet over there."
In fact, Lin Sitian knew that there were sugar and mung beans in the kitchen, but she just wanted to remind Bai Zhiqing by saying that she would go to her room to get them. After all, most of the things in the kitchen were made by her own hands.
Sure enough, Bai Zhiqing found what he was looking for in a short while, so one of them was making a fire to stew vegetables while the other was cooking mung bean soup.
Time passed as the two of them were busy talking to each other. Bai Zhiqing scooped the pancakes out of the pot with a spatula and put them into a basin. In addition, the big pot of braised potatoes, beans, pork ribs and pork belly in the pot was also put into another big basin.
Looking at such a big basin filled with so much food and pancakes, and such a big kettle of mung bean soup, it seemed like they had overestimated themselves a little.
The two of them looked at the things on the edge of the pot and fell into deep thought, as if they could not successfully carry these things to the field.
Just as they were discussing who should go to the field first to call for help, they heard Lin Zhiqiang's voice outside the door: "Xiaotian, Bai Zhiqing, have you two finished cooking? Wang Zhiqing asked me to help you carry the food to the field."
At this moment, Lin Zhiqiang's usually rough voice sounded so pleasant to Lin Sitian's ears. Lin Sitian hurriedly said, "Brother, come to the kitchen quickly. We just finished it and were just thinking about how to send it to the field when you came. You really have a good foresight!"
When Lin Zhiqiang heard his sister's voice, he walked into the kitchen and saw several large basins on the stove.
The three of them distributed the pancakes and put them into a basket, which was covered with oilcloth. Lin Sitian carried it in one hand. After all, she could still carry dozens of pancakes. In her other hand, she held a small half of the mung bean soup.
The other mung bean soup was carried by Bai Wanting, and the stew in the big pot was divided into two parts, a small part was carried by Bai Wanting, and the other large part was carried by Lin Zhiqiang.
After the distribution was completed, the three of them carried their lunch and walked towards the area they were responsible for.
On the way there, Lin Sitian said to Lin Zhiqiang, "Brother, why does your brother always come to help me? If you want to help me, just do it yourself. Don't let your brother help me with everything. That's not good."
Lin Zhiqiang looked at his younger sister's eyes that didn't seem to understand. Although he felt a little sympathy for his buddy, he also felt very happy.
Now that his sister asked, Lin Zhiqiang didn't say it clearly, but just said: "Okay, I'll tell her when the time comes."
After saying this, the three of them started chatting about today's meal. Lin Zhiqiang felt that the dishes they made this morning were so delicious that they made him dizzy.
After listening to the explanations of my sister and Bai Zhiqing, I felt that this dish was tailor-made for them during the autumn harvest.
Not only that, there is also mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and it is also blessed with his sister's medicinal powder.
