Chapter five hundred and ninety-four at the end of the year
Bai Yujun didn't know why he saved people.
Perhaps it was because the girl named Yun'er whom she met for the first time when she came out of the mountain, Bai Yujun's first real friend, failed to show up when she needed help the most. If she had been prevented from getting married, what if...
Without if, nothing can go back to the past...
The two girls were a little uncomfortable with the new clothes. They sat on the bench and watched Bai Yujun clinking and cooking. The copper pot was steaming, and the smell of fish almost made the two girls salivate.
Oil lamps illuminate the small house.
The steaming water vapor made it difficult to see clearly, only a figure with long hair wearing a white dress could be seen busy in the water vapor.
Cut the fish meat, pick out the fish bones and put it in the pot and add seasonings.
The two girls had not eaten such fragrant food for a long time and were hungry. It was very likely that the fish bones would get stuck in their throats after eating so much. Since you have to do things to the end, it is not difficult to pick out the fish bones. Moreover, the pickled fish will taste better this way.
The fish pot is sizzling, and I clean and wash the snails and cut off the tail...
Wow~
The smell of hot oil and spices fills the cabin.
Adding perilla to the stir-fried field snails makes it more fragrant. Heat oil in a pan and add the snails and stir-fry. When it's almost done, add other seasonings. Take out the salt and knock off a small piece and throw it into the pan. When it's almost done, add water and simmer over high heat. Set aside.
, neatly tidied up the small wooden table and prepared the dishes and chopsticks with skillful movements.
The pickled fish is placed on the table together with the small stove. At this time, the water in the snail pot is almost half dry.
Serve on a plate and eat the snails while they are hot.
"Heat the fish pot for a while longer and try the snails first."
If the older girl hadn't been watching, the little girl would have reached out and stuffed it into her mouth. When Bai Yujun asked to eat, she immediately grabbed one and put it on the table, smashed it with small stones, picked up the meat and put it in her mouth...
Moubai was speechless and distressed. He didn't know how many times he had eaten raw snails in this way before.
Delicious! Still salty! It turns out that the snails are really fragrant and fragrant after being cooked!
Ordinary people who have never experienced that kind of life have a hard time imagining what food tastes like when eaten raw, let alone the taste enjoyment brought by salt. People who are malnourished and lack salt for a long time will instinctively want to eat salt, just like animals.
Pick out soil and rocks that contain salt and lick them. You instinctively like salt.
Bai Yujun rolled his eyes.
"The method is wrong. Eating snails requires explosive power. Learn from me."
A certain foodie gave a standard demonstration. For a while, I thought of the sound of eating snails in the cabin. After learning it, I found that it tasted really good and my appetite increased greatly.
Bai Yujun thinks that eating snails is like eating the atmosphere of the fireworks in the market. He can't be an elegant gentleman but he can be happy and true to himself. He can't eat snails if he is impatient and angry. What he eats is the fun of pastoral and rural feelings. Take a sip.
Enjoy the taste and feel at ease.
When I am in a good mood, I don’t care even if I take a sip and find that it is an empty shell. I feel happy and at ease.
The fish pot is ready to eat, and it's hot and sizzling. The girl doesn't know how to use wooden chopsticks. Fortunately, I have prepared a small fork. The fragrant fish meat is paired with white rice. This is the most fun in the world.
"Are you...really a monster?"
"Ang~"
"Do monsters eat people?"
"There are many different kinds of monsters. For example, some are vegetarians or only eat pollen. Others are tree monsters and flower monsters that can survive with water or soil. People are not a panacea and are not delicious."
"Then...sister must be a demon who doesn't eat people~"
"Oh? How do you know?"
Bai Yujun looked at the big girl playfully, as if a child had found a funny little bug and was full of bad thoughts.
"You are so good, even the man-eating monsters are bad~"
On the opposite side, Moubai showed his fangs and scales. The most amazing thing is that his hair turned into snow-white silver. His appearance was definitely that of a carnivorous beast. It was very scary...
The two girls were petrified and sluggish, and the fish and meat in their mouths fell on the table without even noticing.
He twisted his neck and returned to normal, continuing to eat. He picked up the fish, put it in a bowl, blew on it, and took a gentle bite of it, which was tender and delicious.
"Don't worry~ I'll save it for you two after the Chinese New Year~"
My sister didn't understand what Bai Yujun said. Now she only knows whether it tastes good or not, or whether it's good or bad. My sister looked at the goblin enjoying the food across the table, smiled with dimples on her face, and continued without fear at all.
I feed my sister some fish meat in my rice bowl.
In this bleak twelfth month, the small thatched house is filled with steam and fragrance.
Bai Yujun took in two little girls, but it was not free. The girls needed to work within their ability to earn a good life, and he did not want to teach them how to get something for nothing.
After dinner, the older sister washed the dishes and wiped the table.
In Bai's words, you have to pay for my food. If you don't have money, you can use your work to repay it, so you don't have to clean and wash the dishes yourself. Although there is a clone, the clone still has to snap your fingers to appear.
Very tiring.
From then on, a certain monster from the Southern Wilderness shamelessly hired child labor...
In fact, whether life is tiring or not depends on trivial matters.
The younger sister has already fallen asleep. She has a newly made bed and a soft and thick quilt. The older girl is still wiping the table and clearing the cutting boards. The room is hot and she is so tired that she refuses to rest even though she is sweating. She is very stubborn...
Lazy Jiao fell asleep, breathing evenly and stretching her legs from time to time, completely forgetting about the little girl washing the pots at the stove.
After a long time, she finished her work and blew out the oil lamp. She carefully went to bed and huddled together with her sister. It was comfortable and warm without moisture. The quilt was fragrant and soft. It felt like everything was unreal. If it weren't for the physical fatigue, she would have thought she was dreaming. She lay down.
I hugged my sister tightly and snuggled together, and fell asleep. It was the first time in a long time that I really slept comfortably...
The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve.
The door of the thatched house has Dafu characters and Spring Festival couplets pasted on it. The two sisters were working on it, and they could only reach it by standing on the wooden pillars and standing on tiptoe.
After finding some time, my sister ran back to the hole to find the rice balls and snacks hidden in the straw, and carefully carried them back to the thatched house. She was very young, but like a beast, she knew not to waste food.
When I returned to the courtyard, I saw my sister sitting on a small bench at the door, holding a basin and eating snacks.
My younger sister is young, and my elder sister can only use her thin shoulders to carry all the work. She cherishes the happy life now that she has enough food, clothing, and a place to sleep. She endures hardships and hardships without complaining. Unexpectedly, she uses hot water to wash vegetables and laundry. That wooden basin
The water in it seems to never be empty, and soon it will become a full basin of water again.
"Eat this."
Bai Yujun handed the girl a pill, which smelled spicy.
The girl ate it without hesitation.
"Girl, this is poison. The legendary seven-day death powder is unique in the world. How does it taste?"
"Sister Bai, your jokes are not funny at all."
"Why do you think it's not poison?"
Moubai was curious. Can a little kid analyze whether a drug is poisonous?
The girl stared at Bai Yujun's pretty, slightly charming eyes with a small smile. She didn't believe that the pill was poison at all. Even though the child was young, his intuition was sometimes very accurate.
"Because your eyes don't lie~"
"..."
