Little wealth

Before the sun set in the west, white smoke rose from the chimney of Carpenter Zhao's house.

Put a fire into the stove and go in, Josh stood up, turned around and saw a little tail, he asked a little funny: "What are you doing running here? Go outside and play. "

"Em~"

The little baby ran in and rubbed against his body, softly called "Aum" several times, and flirted with him for a while before going out again.

Could it be that this child came here just to act like a spoiled child to him?

Seeing the little figure running out, he heard the child calling Dad outside in the kitchen.

Looking out of the window, I saw the child at the man's feet, followed by a big yellow dog.Anyway, the child wasn't with him, and he was so happy that the child would pester the man. Thinking of the man being pestered by the child, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

But don't think he doesn't know, that man is the one who spoils children, otherwise, where did all those little toys in the room come from?It's not that the child's own father made him one by one.

There is no child by his side, so he doesn't need to be distracted to look at the child. Josh just concentrates on his work in the kitchen.

On weekdays, they only have a family of three to eat, and the food and cooking are relatively simple. Today, two more people come to eat, and two more dishes are cooked, so it is better to cook in advance.

There is still half a bag of flour in the cabinet, the color is a little yellow, not pure white flour.

Pour the flour into the bowl, just when the water in the pot is boiling, put a little hot water in, stir a few times with chopsticks, then start kneading the dough, put the kneaded dough in the bowl to wake up, and use it later.

There were only four eggs at home, and one egg was set aside for his son to eat tomorrow. Josh cracked the remaining three eggs into a bowl, stirred them evenly with chopsticks, and put a little salt into it.

"Fuck-"

Put a little lard in the pot, and the lard will slowly melt when it is heated.

Oil is a very expensive thing here, and he didn't dare to put too much. There was only a little lard left in the bottom of the bowl at home, which was boiled during the Chinese New Year.

Most people here don’t use oil for cooking. Perhaps it should be said that most people don’t cook. They just boil it with water and eat it with some salt. So cooking is a luxury. things.

Originally, there was still half a bowl of pork left, and the dishes he had fried for a few days had almost bottomed out. Josh felt a little guilty about this for no reason.But there is no way to fry vegetables without oil, unless they also eat boiled vegetables every day.

But for a person like him who is already very picky about eaters, if he is asked to eat boiled vegetables without oil and salt every day, after a few more meals, he will still have a tasteless taste in his mouth.

And there is a child at home, and he also wants the child to have a good bite. The little yellow hairs on the top of the head can grow a little darker, the little face can grow a little fleshy, and it can be softer when kissed.

So even if it’s not about living in a big house in the future and living a rich life, it’s just about improving the food at home, changing two meals a day to three meals a day, so that the children in the family can have enough food. Every once in a while, when he ate a bite of meat, he felt that they needed to work harder to make money and make their lives better.

The family next door smelled the aroma of vegetables coming from Carpenter Zhao’s house, and when they saw the sun was still in the sky, the family couldn’t help but mutter in their hearts: Why Carpenter Zhao’s house has been cooking so early, and why the fried incense is so fragrant recently up?

When Zhao Amu brought the youngest son to the eldest son's side, what he saw was the eldest son cutting vegetables in the yard, the younger grandson playing in the yard, and the sound of cooking came from the kitchen.He didn't see his daughter-in-law there, could it be that his daughter-in-law was cooking inside, which made him feel a little weird, could it be that the sun came out from the west today?

"Brother, have you been cooking so early?" Zhao Hu came with Ah Mu this time, and saw his elder brother killing the loaches and eels they caught during the day.

Today he went back to tell Ah Mu that he asked them to go to dinner at night, and he was told by his mother, Zhao Hu was a little confused about this, he just went to eat with their elder brother and brother, what's the matter? impossible?

"Mum, Xiaohu, you are here, your brother is cooking." Zhao He happened to be cutting the last eel into sections, and put the cut eel into a big bowl.

"It's been cooking so early, and I said I'm here to help you. These are the loaches and eels you caught during the day, and they don't look like much meat. Why don't you just keep them for yourself? He called us to come over for dinner." Zhao Amu saw the loach and eel in the bowl, and knew that it was something her sons caught in the fields during the day.

There are loaches and eels in the fields, but they were busy working in the past, and they didn't have much time to catch these little meat.The smell of this thing is also very fishy, ​​and there is not much meat to eat, so few people bother to catch these things.

They didn't come to eat empty-handed, Zhao Hu handed over the basket in his hand, "Brother, this is what Eminem asked me to bring, and there is a piece of bacon at home, Eminem said that by the way, I will fry a piece for you." eat."

They made this bacon a few years ago, and there is only the last piece left after eating it. I usually don’t want to eat it at home. Today, I came to my eldest brother and my brother’s house for dinner, so I brought it with me.

"When you come later, don't bring anything." Zhao He glanced at it, then reached out to take the basket, and picked up the cut loach and eel, "You guys sit outside for a while, I'll bring it in for him first."

As he said that, the man went into the kitchen with his things, and by the way told Fu Lang inside that Ah Mu is here, and he came with his things.

The little baby playing in the yard saw Ah Mo coming, ran towards Ah Mo, hugged Ah Mo's leg, looked up at the adults and shouted: "Ah Mo."

"Hey, my dear grandson."

It is said that they are close relatives from one generation to the next. Zhao Amu had never been so close to his two sons before. Being hugged by his grandson made his heart so soft that he wished he could give all the good things to his grandson.

……

Shila-

The eggs in the pan were scrambled, and Josh was pouring the vegetables into it to fry, when he saw a man come in with a bowl and a basket, and told him that Eminem had brought bacon.

Hearing what the man said, he turned around and glanced at the window, saw Eminem playing with his son, shook his head with a smile, then turned to the man behind him and said, "Eminem and the others are really serious, let them have a meal Meal, and what else did you bring?"

"Brother, what are you frying? Why is it so fragrant?" Zhao Hu followed behind his brother and smelled the aroma as soon as he stood at the door of the kitchen.

"I'm cooking, and I can eat later."

Josh glanced back and saw the uncle standing at the door, so he didn't say much, and asked the man to take the meat out of the basket and clean it before bringing it in again.Now that the food has been brought, it is not good for him to ask people to take it back, so it is better to make it for everyone to eat together.

"I'll do it." Zhao He hummed, picked up the meat and went out.

"I, I'm going to help my brother." Seeing that his elder brother went out, Zhao Hu couldn't stand at the door of the kitchen, and ran away behind his elder brother.

Zhao Amu, who had been making out with her grandson outside for a while, came to the kitchen and was a little surprised to see his daughter-in-law cooking decently. "Is there anything else to do? Let me cook with you." .”

The dumplings sent by my son last time were pretty good. My son said they were made by his daughter-in-law. Could it be that he misunderstood this daughter-in-law before?In fact, his daughter-in-law is still very capable?

"Oh, just wrap this, Eum, can you make it?" Just as Josh was frying the eggs and shepherd's purse, he lifted the cloth covering the bowl. The noodles inside had already woken up, and he wrapped a shepherd's purse and egg box Show Zhao Amu.

He demonstrated one by hand, "It's actually very simple, that's it, just close your mouth and pinch the sides."

"Oh, I understand." Zhao Amu understood it at a glance, and imitated wrapping one up, and it didn't look ugly.

Seeing so many eggs in the bowl, Zhao Amu felt a little bit in her heart that this daughter-in-law would not be able to live a good life, who would be so willing to eat eggs, it looked like there were several eggs in the bowl.I can't help but sigh in my heart again, no wonder my son's family can't save any money, it's no wonder that this daughter-in-law can save money because she is willing to eat and drink.

But in the past, this daughter-in-law never thought about what to eat. A few days ago, I asked my son to send them dumplings, and today I invited them to eat at home. This dish is loach, rice field eel and eggs. It looks like It is much more generous to them than before.

It's rare that the daughter-in-law is better at life than before. Although Zhao Amu felt that this daughter-in-law would not be able to live a life, she didn't say anything, so as not to offend everyone.

"Then you wrap it first, Mu, I'll stir-fry these loach and eels." The rice in the pot has already been stewed, and Josh didn't lift the lid to look at it.

In the past few days, he has also made some experience in cooking. He knows how much water should be put in the rice, how big the fire should be, so that the rice at the bottom of the pot will not burn, and finally how long the rice should be simmered in the pot. the most delicious.

Seeing that someone came to help, it happened that he had free time to do other things. It was faster for two people to cook than for him alone, and they could eat earlier after a while, so Josh didn't refuse the other party's offer to help.

Zhao Amu looked at the wrapped things while making them, feeling strange, this thing looks like a dumpling but not quite like a dumpling, is it different from the dumplings they made in the past?He asked, "We also make dumplings here?"

"Hehe, almost, this will be fried later."

Josh squatted down and took a look at the fire in the stove, and added a handful of firewood into it. The cooking at home is made of straw, which burns fast and the fire is strong.The only downside is that it burns too fast, and you have to keep adding firewood to the stove.

I got up and clapped my hands, ready to continue cooking...
