Otherworldly Days

Chapter 271 Wa 8

The next day came in a blink of an eye, and this day was Laba. Cao Xiangnan got up early in the morning and cooked Laba porridge.

He uses rice, glutinous rice, brown rice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, lotus seeds, goji berries, chestnuts and other beans to cook together with dried fruits. These things are all available at home and are not difficult to find.After the porridge is boiled on a high fire, it is simmered slowly on a low fire. After a while, the porridge in a pot is sticky and exudes a strong rice fragrance.

Shaking the spoon in his hand, Cao Xiangnan recalled the life he lived with his grandma in his previous life. At that time, his grandma would cook Laba porridge for him every Laba Festival.Now when he thinks about those people and things in his previous life, even the grandmother who was harsh and mean to him was not very good, he still misses it in his heart.

But people also died, turning into a pile of loess. After he was no longer in that world, his father who was not a thing would visit the grave every year, and the one who died was also his mother.After all, he is the unfilial grandson. He left that world and came here. Every year in Qingming and Chongyang, he will not be able to burn incense sticks to his dead grandma. After all, it was thanks to his grandma for raising him in those years .

"Well, what are you cooking? It smells so good." The old doctor Huang got up and looked for it first, followed by his little Yaotonger. "Sanbo, you're up. You're cooking Laba porridge. It's almost ready after the firewood is finished. You can try it later." Cao Xiangnan saw the old doctor Huang who came over smelling the smell, and there was old doctor Huang at home. If the adults and children in the family are sick or uncomfortable, Dr. Huang is here, which saves a lot of trouble.

Don't say, old doctor Huang really has two in command.Old Doctor Huang likes to drink two sips of shochu when he has nothing to do, and he will drink with him. Old Doctor Huang will tell him some physical symptoms that pregnant women and children should pay attention to. If you do it, he will listen carefully, in case you really need to use it someday!

"I smell this smell. There are rice, red beans, mung beans, and lotus seeds in it?" Old Doctor Huang's nose is sharper than a dog's, and he can guess what's in the pot just by smelling it. Feeling overwhelmed, he said, "It's the first time I've seen someone cook Laba porridge like this. It smells good, and I think it's delicious."

"You guessed it all right." Cao Xiangnan took out a spoonful and showed it to Old Doctor Huang, filling in the two missing items.

Awu and Xiangzi went to the backyard to feed the animals raised in the pen, and they are not in the small kitchen for a while.Today, we are going to cook Laba porridge for everyone to eat together. We need to use a big pot to cook a lot, so he came out here and cooked it in a big pot in the small kitchen.

The old doctor Huang just sat down on the small stool without moving the floor. He just sat in front of the stove and warmed up the fire. The little medicine boy Zisu who was following behind was driven back into the house by his master, and people also entered the house. .

At this time, all the adults and children in the room got up, and Ah Ning got up and dressed the two little ones. He liked the two little brothers very much in his heart.The faces of the two children who had just woken up were flushed, and they looked very cute.

His family, Xuanxuan, doesn't stick to him very much anymore. He used to ask him to dress him up, but now he can learn to do everything by himself with Xiangzi. He feels relieved and lamented about this, son. When I grow up, I can learn to do everything by myself, but I don’t need him as an Eminem anymore.

Er Shun waited for his master to wake up in the room, and Fang Ziye also woke up, not in a good mood.

After this, the child is a month old, and the child in the stomach has strong feet. When he fell asleep at night, he would wake up after kicking him, and his feet would also hurt. When he wakes up, the little servants in the house will follow him when he moves at night to serve him.

"Er Shun, thank you for your hard work." Qi Wanfeng said to the half-grown child when he saw the little slave who was dressing him.If it wasn't for this little slave who was by his side to serve him, he wouldn't even be able to find someone to help him at night.

"Master, what are you talking about? This is what Er Shun should do. Er Shun's life is given by you, master. Don't tell Er Shun that it's hard work or not." Er Shun listened to his master's words , the little face immediately became serious.

"Master, Er Shun, as long as your body is healthy and the young master in your stomach is also healthy, Er Shun, Er Shun is willing to live ten years less."

"Don't say such things." Fang Ziye gave the little slave who was talking nonsense, and said.

"Yes, yes, it was Er Shun who said the wrong thing, hehehe..." Er Shun immediately smirked, he knew that the master was a cold-hearted person, and he would not have kept him by his side if he hadn't let him up.In his life, he prayed to gods and Buddhas for nothing else, the only thing he asked for was that his master would be well, and now he added a young master.

"Er Shun got up and saw Mr. Cao was cooking Laba porridge in the morning. The Laba porridge we cooked was different from the one we usually eat. It's almost the same now..."

"Yeah." Fang Ziye was really looking forward to Cao Xiangnan cooking some fresh food for him in his heart. His building is now relying on the fresh dishes and things that the boy made for him. Yipinzhai's income in the past six months It is several times more than the previous year's income.

Later, he used the accounting method that the boy Xiang Nan gave him, and he really found out the problems of some restaurants and shops in his hand, and pulled out all the moths hidden in them.

Later, he gave this method to that person, thinking that this method would help that person, but he didn't tell him the source.As for how to use it, it is beyond his control.

"Master, let's go out." Seeing the master standing there without moving, don't you want to go out?Not knowing what the master was thinking, Er Shun reminded him aloud.

"Well, let's go out." Withdrawing his mind and not thinking about that person anymore, Fang Ziye walked out of the room one step ahead.

The snow stopped outside for a while today, and several children in the family ran out to the door to have a snowball fight. Even Sun Bailian brought two boys from his family here, and the children played wildly together.

The children have been detained in the house for so long, and if they are not allowed to go outside to play, they will get sick from boredom.

Qi Wanfeng didn't go out with him, he was holding Xiao Le'er in the house, the child was too young, and he couldn't take the child outside, seeing Fang Ziye coming out of the house, he said with a smile, "Get up!" .”

"Hmm." Fang Ziye glanced around, but he didn't see the little ones and Aning, and there was doubt in his eyes.

"You said they are all outside, did you hear the noise? They are all making noise outside. Come and sit here, you can't go outside at this time, we will sit in this room for a while, breakfast in the kitchen It's almost ready, Xiang Nan is making Laba porridge, I think it looks good, and I'll have something to eat in a while." Qi Wanfeng went out to have a look just now, and then went back to the house to see that the child hadn't gone out again.

They could hear the laughing and shouting of the children outside the house. Fang Ziye really heard it when he heard it. He walked over to Wanfeng and reached out to touch the child in his arms.The child stared at him with a pair of big black and white eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he was lovable.

"Did you sleep well at night?" Qi Wanfeng asked after noticing that Fang Ziye's complexion was not very good.

"Well, the child kept waking me up in the last few nights." Fang Ziye put his hand on his stomach, and the old doctor Huang said that the child would be noisy in this month, which meant that the child grew up well in his stomach.

No, this time he kicked him in the stomach again, it was really hard for people to take him.

"Yeah, I've been pregnant with Xiao Le'er for the next two months, and I don't sleep well at night." Fortunately, he still has his husband to take care of him, no matter how hard he is with his husband, he won't become Especially tough.

As for Fang Ziye, only Er Shun, who was half-old, followed him to take care of him. Qi Wanfeng was also worried, and told him some things that needed attention, and also taught Er Shun what to do if Zi Yu woke up at night. situation.

The two were chatting in the room while teasing Xiao Le'er, and after a while the children outside the room came back.

Cao Xiangnan also cooked Laba porridge. Today's breakfast was a little later than usual. The porridge took a long time to cook. When the cooked Laba porridge was on the table, he came to invite everyone to eat together.

"This pot has salt added, and this pot has sugar added. You can decide what you want to eat." Considering everyone's different tastes, Cao Xiangnan made two flavors, salty and sweet.

"it is good."

"Would you like salty or sweet?"

"Sweet."

"Salty."

The long table on the joint was full of people, bowls of thick and fragrant Laba porridge were served in the bowls, and the smell was good.Knowing that there are many people eating today, he also made big pancakes, mainly because he was afraid that everyone would not be full. This pancake would fill their stomachs. Cao Gang, Wang Dahu and the others still wanted to eat these stuffed food.

"How is it? Is the taste okay?" Seeing everyone eating the porridge in the bowl, Cao Xiangnan asked.

"Well, I think it's not bad after eating." Qi Wanfeng was the first to express his liking for the food made by his husband.

He seldom goes into the kitchen now, and his husband cooks most of the food.Sometimes he followed suit and learned a trick, otherwise one day Fulang would go away, and he and the children would not be hungry at home?

"Not bad."

"I like it too." After taking a sip, everyone felt that the porridge tasted good, and the men preferred to eat big pancakes.

Cao Xiangnan told everyone the ingredients in this cooked Laba porridge. This porridge is much more delicious than rice and pickles, so you can consider using these whole grains and dried fruits to cook Laba porridge in the future. The taste will be better.

After breakfast, it's time to start preparing lunch.

Today, Cao Gang and the others stayed at his place for dinner. There are many people in his family, and there are also many people in Cao Gang's place. The people from both sides can make two tables together.

It was agreed yesterday that today they will cook mutton soup as the main task, and they will eat it in hot pot with mutton, and they will also prepare some meatballs, make noodles, and wash some vegetables and mushrooms.The weather is so cold, it is also warm for everyone to eat around the hot pot.

Killed the sheep and cooked the mutton soup. A bustling morning passed. After noon, the food preparations were ready. Everyone sat around the stove and ate mutton hot pot.Those who were full first got up, and the men who were drinking continued to drink.

After the afternoon, all the people who came to eat went back. When they left, they brought back a pot of mutton soup and kept it for dinner.And the dining tables at home were all cleared up, and the adults and children who were going to sleep went back to the house to sleep first.

After a lively day, the house became quiet again.
