After buying the eggs, I went back and saw the butcher cutting the meat. "Brother, I'll go back and prepare it first."
"Go, go, I'll send it to you in a moment."
After arriving home, the two children played by themselves, and she started to cook some noodles. The women also wanted to eat at noon.
The quilts are made very quickly. The ten of them make twenty sets a day. They should be finished today.
The vermicelli is soaked and the three pots are ready. Just wait for the meat to arrive.
The butcher also moved very quickly. He would drive over in an hour.
"Then I'll trouble you, big brother."
"It's okay, it's okay, I do this every day."
He first set up a fire in the yard and burned the pig's head with iron clamps.
After Chen Miao has stewed two pots of meat, he begins to prepare the stew water.
Stewing water saves fire, but you also need to stew the large and small intestines first.
I saw that the butcher was still washing the pig's head, which had been cleaned and split into pieces, then put in a meat pot and stewed.
Steam the steamed buns at this time, and stew the vermicelli until you are about to leave in the afternoon, otherwise it will become lumpy.
The two children stopped working, so I had no choice but to serve them first.
They definitely can't sleep on the kang, they can only sleep on the cart.
After stewing in water, pay the butcher.
"Mom, I'll go back first and come back to pick you up in the evening."
After the butcher left, Chen Miao also asked a few people to eat. The steamed buns were steamed in the meat pot, and of course they tasted better.
The meat is not too rotten, but you can eat it in the water. It has cut pig lungs, heart and liver.
I simmered some vermicelli in the stewed soup and put on the cabbage. This dish is already very good now.
A large bowl of braised pork was served again, "It's already cooked, but not rotten."
"Daughter, you are spending too much money."
"Mom, it's nothing, let's eat."
Each of the two children was given a piece of pork liver and allowed to eat it slowly by themselves. If it was tasty, they would be willing to eat it.
They are too embarrassed to eat meat. "Daughter, you can stew the meat again."
"Everyone has a try."
"After eating, let's go stew. My daughter's stew is so delicious."
"I've eaten all the vermicelli, otherwise it's spoiled. You can eat less steamed buns."
At home, it was not their turn to eat even these things. Everyone was quite satisfied with the meal. They were all sweating profusely. It was this season. It was too hot at home, so there was nothing we could do about it. The braised pork was still simmering.
They didn't rest after the meal, thinking they were done for the day.
Chen Miao didn't bother and gave them both a bath in the yard. Sitting in the water basin at this temperature was the most comfortable.
Looking at the two smiling children, all the annoyance disappeared.
After playing for about half an hour, I finally let them get up.
It was really too hot at home, so I had no choice but to push the two children to Xiao Tongran's place.
When he was not here, the servants saw her coming and immediately came out to say hello.
"Arrange a room for me. There is no way for two children to sleep at home."
"Ma'am, please come with me."
It was the west room in the main room, "Ma'am, there is ice, would you like to bring it in for you?"
"Thank you, no need. This is already good."
The three of them lay on the bed and played for a while, and then the two children fell asleep.
Chen Miao cannot sleep in a strange environment, not even at Xiao Tongran's home.
Hearing voices outside, he knew it was Xiao Tongran who was back. After thinking about it, he still didn't go out. It was better to wait until the two children woke up.
Xiao Tongran had a smile on his face after knowing that the three of them were resting here. At least here she would think of looking for him if she had any difficulties.
I had no appetite on such a hot day, so I went back to the house to rest after eating a bowl of watermelon.
Chen Miao waited until the children woke up before pushing them out.
Xiao Tongran also came out after hearing the noise. "Are you awake?" He said this to the two children.
The two of them were particularly familiar with Xiao Tongran and gave him a toothy smile.
"Mr. Xiao, please excuse me. I'm going back now, and I have to go to the foot of the mountain."
"I'll drive you there."
"I'm going to take four girls there."
"Then you drive yourself. It's much faster than driving."
"No need, it's not too hot now."
"We're coming back late and there are a lot of mosquitoes, so we'd better drive. We don't need that much fuel now."
Chen Miao smiled, "Yes. Then I'll drive there."
Put the stroller at the back of the car and let the two children sit in the front. They will definitely not be able to sit still. It is much safer to go home and get the basket.
Xiao Tongran smiled, he really wasn't too polite to himself, that's fine.
After driving to the door of the house, I carried the two children inside. At this time, the whole yard was filled with the smell of meat.
Only the last finishing touches were left on their bedding. Chen Miao thought for a while that she might as well wait a while. She would definitely not refuse to pay, just because she was afraid that they would be scared.
Let the two children sit on the mat by themselves, and she went to collect the meat, filled three buckets, filled a handful of hot vermicelli and stewed it, and put the water in a bucket.
When the vermicelli was cooked and put in the bucket, the butcher's voice was heard outside.
Chen Miao paid them all the money for the past few days, which was nearly two yuan for each person. It had only been a few days, there was no wind or sun, and they had to take care of meals at noon. Everyone was very excited after giving so much money.
"Thank you everyone. From now on, you will make cotton shoes at home. You also know the approximate size. There are two pairs of feet that are particularly big, and the rest are about the same. Each person will make two pairs of cotton shoes.
In fact, I was thinking of letting everyone spend a day making quilt covers and sewing quilt sheets for all the quilts.
I didn’t go to Buzhuang today, I’ve made arrangements here and asked the butcher brother to inform everyone.”
"Don't worry, my dear, you can come anytime. It doesn't matter if you don't pay me."
Chen Miao smiled and shook his head, "How can I not give you money? I give you thirty cash a day. Come early and come back later. Everything is packed."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do these days. We're making cotton shoes at home, don't worry, my daughter. We must use new cotton to make thick cotton shoes."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am. I have other things to do so I won't leave any of you here."
The six people left with a smile, and Chen Miao also called Huang Mingxiu and the four sisters to get in the car.
The buckets were covered with lids. Fortunately, there was no broth, otherwise I would have been worried about it spilling.
The basket was placed at the feet of the co-pilot, and the two children stood in the basket.
"Sister-in-law, how about we hold them."
"It's too hot. Let's wait until they stop."
Chen Miao sped up the car. These two little things were really disobedient.
It was the first time for the Huang sisters to ride in a car, and they were very cautious. Chen Miao was afraid that they would get carsick, so she kept the car windows open, so she went back to clean the car for Xiao Tongran.
"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I'll slow down."
The four sisters agreed. They really admired Chen Miao. She can do anything, and a woman can be so capable.
It usually takes two hours to catch the bus and one hour to drive.
