Chapter 31 Bacon Potato Rice
The next day, Xue Ning got up and washed up.
I had a good night's rest last night and my energy has recovered a lot today.
He was brushing his teeth in the yard when he saw Mu Yu running over from him carrying a bowl.
"Sister, get up!"
Xue Ning spat out the foam in his mouth, "Xiaoyu, it's so early."
Muyu opened his mouth to reveal his white teeth, "I get up early every day, sister, this is the vegetable porridge my brother made. He asked me to bring it to you."
Xue Ning's eyes widened instantly in disbelief, "Your brother asked you to give it to me."
"That's right! He said that you take good care of us and often give us food. We can't just eat for free and must reciprocate."
Mu Yu took out another ointment from his pocket and said, "Sister, you must have broken the skin on your hands after cutting wheat for so long yesterday. This is the ointment. Please apply it quickly."
Xue Ning was even more surprised, "Your brother asked you to give this ointment to me."
"Well, it seems that my brother bought it specially, because we don't usually have this at home."
Mu Chenghe, who was hiding under the eaves over there, frowned and wanted to beat Mu Yu up.
Obviously he didn't explain it like this, the brat would really cause trouble for him.
The roots of Muchenghe's ears are a little red.
Xue Ning happily took the bowl and ointment from Mu Yu's hand.
In the morning, my mood was as sweet as eating honey.
"Xiaoyu, thank your brother for me, just say, I will cook rabbit tonight, and you ask your brother what flavor of rabbit he wants to eat."
Muyu thought this was a courtesy exchange, so he went back happily.
Xue Ning was in such a good mood today that she returned to the kitchen with the bowl in hand and ate up a large bowl of porridge.
Although the porridge didn't taste very good, Xue Ning still felt that it was the most delicious food she had ever tasted, second only to the food cooked by Xue's mother.
She didn't want to use the ointment, so she put it in her pocket, planning to take it out when she went to find Muchenghe later to ask him what he meant.
After dinner, it was still early, so Xue Ning took a pound of white flour to Grandma Liu and exchanged it for a pound of mung beans.
Put the mung beans into a casserole, add an appropriate amount of water, and then add a few pieces of rock sugar.
The casserole is cooked slowly on the stove, and the fire is not very high. At this speed, you can have mung bean porridge by noon.
Yesterday, when Xue Ning was cutting wheat, he saw that those who were cutting wheat together did not go home for lunch. Some of them brought their own dry food and ate a few pieces to fill their stomachs during the break. Some of them had family members bring food to them.
The purpose is to work more and earn more work points.
For rural people who earn points from work to support their families, racing against time is the most positive thing.
Although Xue Ning doesn't want to bring food there, he can prepare the food in advance and eat it when he comes back at noon.
She is going to make bacon and potato rice.
This kind of rice is the most fragrant especially when cooked with firewood.
Xue Ning cut about a kilogram of bacon brought from the Shanghai market, heated it in hot water, washed it and cut it into slightly thicker cubes.
The potatoes are also cut into evenly sized cubes.
Heat the pot and stir-fry the bacon. Stir-fry out the fat of the bacon. Then add the potatoes and stir-fry everything. Add some soy sauce and chicken essence to taste. Stir-fry evenly. Add an appropriate amount of water. Finally, scoop out the half-cooked and drained rice.
Spread on the bacon and potatoes, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat. After 20 minutes, a pot of bacon and potato rice will be ready.
Xue Ning put the cooked rice in the pot. It was time to start work, so he locked the door and went to the fields.
Wheat is still being harvested today, and the harvest has begun. Most people in the village are sweating and working in the wheat fields.
With yesterday's experience, Xue Ning's work is easier today than yesterday.
Even the bandaged wound on my hand still hurts a little, but these are minor things and can be tolerated.
Today, Cao Sicheng was still wandering around the fields in bright clothes, but because there were too many people, he didn't have the nerve to harass Xue Ning.
At noon, everyone began to look for a shady place to rest and eat the dry food they had brought.
Xue Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked for Muchenghe in the rice fields.
She just saw Muchenghe also in the field.
His eyes wandered around, and he happened to meet the eyes of Mu Chenghe who was standing up.
Mu Chenghe's heart moved, he quickly looked away, went up to the field, found a big tree and sat on the ground.
Then he took out two fried biscuits from his pocket and gnawed on them.
He ate very quickly and ate a large piece of cake in just a few seconds.
Just eat like this and don't drink any water.
Not far away is the second room of the Mu family.
Mrs. Mu is eating multi-grain steamed buns with pickled cabbage soup at the moment. It tastes extremely delicious, sour and spicy, which is really appetizing.
Mu Chenghe rolled his eyes in disgust and murmured, "I eat a few broken cakes every day, but it's a good thing that I have severed ties with his family." Otherwise, it would be her old wife who would eat the broken cakes.
That thing will cause constipation after eating, so sooner or later it will have to be sent away.
She won't eat it.
Some villagers joked, "Old Madam Mu, your eldest grandson is choking on his cake. Why don't you bring him some soup?"
Mrs. Mu quickly drank up the soup in the bowl, "I have severed ties with him a long time ago. I don't care about him, and he shouldn't care about me either."
The villagers were speechless. They had grandchildren on the palms of their hands and the backs of their hands. She was very partial.
The villagers didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, so they didn't say much.
Xue Ning had already returned home at this time.
The kitchen smells delicious.
The mung bean porridge is also ready, as is the bacon, potato and rice in the pot.
I took a jar and filled it with mung bean porridge, and took two bowls, one big bowl and one small bowl, both filled with rice.
He put two bowls of rice into the food box, took the chopsticks, and two more empty bowls, then took the jar with mung bean water and went to the wheat field. I like the group favorite of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao makes the heart of a rough guy.
