Raising children in an ancient county

According to the recipe last night, Qiao Shen made another pot full of marinated stew. This time, he added his favorite pig intestines and other offal, as well as dried tofu.

Qiao deeply wanted to make some desserts for Xiao Changle, so he steamed pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and boiled red beans.Crush the steamed pumpkin and sweet potatoes with a spoon, mix them with starch, knead them into taro balls, put them in a pot of water, boil them and put them in a bowl, put cooked red beans, add some sugar, and make a bowl of red bean taro balls alright.

After blowing it cold, I fed it to Xiao Changle. The starch was not easy to digest, so I fed three taro balls. Xiao Changle ate the sweet red bean paste, which was not good.

After Xiao Changle finished eating, he mixed a bowl of red bean and taro balls with less sugar for Qi Shuo. Qi Shuo sat aside and watched Qiao Shen tease Xiao Changle for a walk to digest food. It was not yet noon, and the sun was shining It is heart-warming.

After finishing the meal, the stewed meat was simmering in the pot on a low fire. Qiao Shen closed the stove, and there was no air in it, and the fire would be extinguished soon.

Qiao Shen carried Xiao Chang Le into the room for a nap. Qiao Shen was a little sleepy. Xiao Chang Le was crawling around on the bed wearing Qiao Shen's improved second cotton diaper with a bellyband. He was full of energy abundant.

Letting little Changle crawl around on his body, Qiao Shen slowly fell asleep. He surrounded the surroundings with pillows, but he was not afraid of little Changle crawling and falling out of bed.

Qiao Shen was woken up by the heat. This era without air conditioners and fans is really tormenting.

Qiao Shen simply got up to deal with the stewed stew. The stewed pork ribs accounted for most of the cut, and a small amount of pork intestines and lungs were cut up, and a large bowl of stewed stew was filled.The main reason is that people here don’t like to eat pig offal, so I put a little less, but it’s enough to try something new.

Holding the big bowl, Qiao Shen and Qi Shuo greeted each other, and then they went out from the backyard, walked through three courtyards, and turned a corner to Liu's courtyard.Qiao Shen gently knocked on the courtyard door, and soon, Mrs. Liu came over and opened the door.

"Yeah, I'm still guessing who it is, maybe it's my brother-in-law, come in quickly." Shopkeeper Liu's husband's real name is Li Lixuan, because his husband and Qi Shuo's shop are next to each other, one makes wooden furniture and the other sells porcelain Stoves, there are many contacts.

"A few days ago, my elder brothers took care of my family. Today I made more stewed snacks. I wanted to bring them to Yong Yuan to taste, so I came to bother you."

"Look how polite you are, neighbors, and besides that child Chang Le, I'm very happy with him. Are you in good health? How about Chang Le?" Li Lixuan looked at Qiao Shen, his face was pale and healthy, and he was happy in his heart. Pulling Joe deep into the house.

"It's been good for a long time, but I still had a cough a few days ago, so I didn't dare to come here. Now I'm getting better, I'm hungry, I'm thinking about something to eat, you can help me taste it, if you can, I'll start planning to sell some Eat and earn some money for Chang Le to study."

Qiao Shen took the tea brought by Li Lixuan, took a sip, and then said, "Chang Le is fine, my appetite has improved these days, I don't need to be coaxed, I like to eat anything. I'm too full now, and I'm still taking a nap , I didn’t bring it here, and it made a lot of noise when I brought it, and it didn’t make people idle for a moment.”

"Ham, he's just like that at his age, which means he's in good health. You're right under your nose. My family, Yongyuan, can't stay at home for a moment now. He always wants to sneak out to play with his friends."

"Boys are like this." Qiao replied with a deep smile. Everyone is a man, so he doesn't have any barriers, but he doesn't talk about family matters very well.

"From what you mean, are you going to let Chang Le go to a private school?"

"Yes, it's not for fame or fortune. I just hope that he can learn more, and that he will be accompanied by his friends in the academy. He thinks about the friendship he grew up with, and he will have more heart-to-heart friends in the future."

"That's good too. As a father, you can worry less."

"Yes. Try it quickly. I made it by myself. Chang Le really likes it, but I don't know if you are used to it."

"Then I'll try it." Li Lixuan went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, just as he returned to the house, he saw his son Yong Yuan woke up and opened the door to look into the house.

"Yongyuan, let's see what delicious food Uncle Qi made for you, hurry up and call someone." Li Lixuan went over to pull his son out, and wiped the sweat from sleeping on his forehead.

"Uncle Qi..." Yongyuan likes the tall and big Uncle Qi very much, but he is a little afraid of Uncle Qi Qiao Shen. Qiao Shen doesn't like children at first, and the five-year-old Yong Yuan is in the grade of the dog, and he often plays with dirty bodies. In the past, Qiao Shen often pushed him in disgust.

"Hey, Yongyuan is sleeping well? Uncle made some snacks, come and taste it, your brother Chang Le likes it, but I don't know if it suits your taste." Qiao smiled deeply. It became softer, without the harsh and disgusting face before.

Yong Yuan smelled the fragrance, walked to the table and swallowed, it smelled so good.

Qiao Shen took a piece of braised pork ribs and fed it to Yong Yuan. Seeing that his father was already eating, Yong Yuan couldn't help but open his mouth to catch the ribs.The pork ribs have been stewed crispy, and the mouth is salty and fragrant. When you bite into the marinade, it bursts in your mouth. The delicious Yongyuan's eyes are shining.

Li Lixuan originally ate a piece of pig intestines to save face, but who knew that the stewed intestines were crispy and soft, thick but not greasy, without any peculiar smell, Li Lixuan asked in surprise: "This is pig intestines? It's so delicious."

Qiao said with a deep smile that he washed it repeatedly with salt and vinegar, so that the smell was gone, and he briefly talked about the process of making it stewed, and finally asked for his opinion, and he didn't know if he could sell it for a price.

"It's delicious, the method is so meticulous, and the ingredients are also complicated. I'm afraid it's not cheap. It's hard to say, I'm afraid that other than big restaurants, ordinary people can't afford it." Li Lixuan also told the truth, the two are familiar , but there is no need to block it.

After chatting for a while, he politely declined Li Lixuan's offer to stay for dinner. Qiao Shen got up and prepared to go back, "I really failed to live up to my good intentions. Xiao Changle will wake up and see no one. I'm afraid he will cry. His father is busy with a lot of work. It's not good to delay coaxing him. Next time, I will bring Xiao Changle to bother me next time."

After leaving Liuyuan, Qiao deeply thought about Brother Xuan's words, and felt a little depressed.That's right, the people in the alley don't have the spare money to buy ready-made meat.

It is not very practical to set up a stall. Little Changle is only two years old. How can he ensure that the child stays safely by his side in the crowded street?

Blame him for not being familiar with the living habits of the people of the Great Zhou, so his busy work was in vain.

When he arrived at the gate of his own courtyard, he saw a peddler bending over to scoop up something. Qi Shuo held Xiao Changle in one hand, and handed the bowl to the peddler with the other.

When he got closer, he realized that Xiao Changle had just cried, his eyelashes were still wet, his small mouth was flattened, and the corners of his mouth were twitching downwards.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Shen walked over and took Xiao Changle into his arms, and seeing Xiao Changle's twitching, he patted his back in amused and distressed way.

"I heard the peddler hawking from afar, crying and asking for cakes." Qi Shuo thought that Qiao Shen had made some food for his family, and didn't want to buy it for Xiao Changle.

But looking at Xiao Changle's weeping appearance, he still compromised.In the past when he was in the shop, Xiao Changle didn't often act coquettishly in front of him to beg for money. A few days ago, Qiao Shen was ill, and the house was filled with a heavy atmosphere, so Xiao Changle didn't dare to make a fuss.

Now his father loves him, and his father also dotes on him at home, so he is proud of being doted on.

Xiao Changle calmed down in Qiao Shen's arms, and at this moment kicked her legs and was about to get off the ground.

Qiao Shen put him down, and he grabbed Qiao Shen's trouser leg with one small hand, and pulled the shopkeeper's basket of cakes with the other hand, wanting it.

The shopkeeper filled the bowl with a cake, one copper coin, and Qi Shuo paid the money, gave the bowl to Xiao Changle himself, and turned to enter the yard.

Cake making is steamed glutinous rice mixed with sugar, and beaten with a wooden mallet to form a cake. The cake is tough, soft and sticky.It is the favorite and cheap sweets of ordinary children.

Watching the shopkeeper pick up the basket, slap the wooden boards with his hands, and yell twice from time to time.Hearing the sound of clapping wooden boards, the children in the neighborhood ran out, yelling at their parents to buy cakes. Qiao Shen suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Turning his head to see Xiao Changle staggering towards the courtyard with the bowl in his hands, Qiao Shen took the bowl, scooped up Xiao Changle, went into the yard and sat at the stone table.

Going to the kitchen to get the chopsticks, and inserting the rice cakes for Xiao Changle to gnaw on, Qiao Shen stared at Qi Shuo and asked for something: "Brother Shuo, can you give me a tool like a shopkeeper? "

"The tools can be used, but it takes a lot of effort to make cakes. After a day, it is very tiring." And now, the family has not reached the point where Qiao Shen is so tired.

"It's not making cakes. I make it much easier than making cakes. I make red bean and taro balls, which are refreshing and delicious."
