Chapter 73 Garlic, Chinese Moss and Pork Dumplings
She opened the chicken coop, took out their water trough, cleaned it, added new water, and then added some "Wen Yiqing".
Finally, they took the sick chick out and forced it to drink some water.
"Ah? Another one fainted from the heat. These little chickens are too fragile."
As soon as Zhou Mingqi came back from the kitchen, he saw a little chick in the woodshed.
"It's okay, just feed them some water and they will be fine." Zhou Mingshu not only fed the chicks some water, but also poured some disinfectant on them.
"Let's go, wash your hands and eat first."
Building a chicken coop is not something they can influence; they can only offer suggestions.
These chicks arrived suddenly, and there was no chicken coop at home, so the current chicken coops were temporarily built by Grandma Zhou and Mrs. Feng.
It's windy and rainy. It's okay for the little chicks to live there temporarily, but it's definitely not suitable for the long term.
The house has been busy these two days, and Mrs. Zhou hasn't had time to clean them.
The problem that occurred today may be because the chicken manure in the chicken coop was not cleaned in time and fermented under the sun.
The dumplings cooked quickly after being put into the pot. Old Mrs. Zhou used cold water to stop the boiling three times and then put the dumplings in bowls.
Zhou Mingjie ran out and called Zhou Lao Da and others to go home for dinner.
Zhou Mingzhi peeled two cloves of garlic so that he could eat them later.
"It's time to eat. Go wash your hands and face. We've packed a lot today so everyone can have enough to eat."
As soon as Old Mrs. Zhou called out, everyone in the family, young and old, rushed to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.
Although my family doesn’t make dumplings often, they make them very beautiful and plump like small ingots.
It is just the right size, with thin skin and lots of fillings, firm meat and delicious taste.
Zhou Mingshu ate them one by one with garlic, it was so delicious!
Even she, a worldly-wise person, was impressed by the dumplings stuffed with garlic, Chinese cabbage and pork.
So fragrant~
In addition to garlic heads, there are also some small pickles on the table, which are pickled radishes that were pickled earlier.
For people who can't eat spicy food.
The garlic at home is very spicy. If it touches the flesh on your cheeks, you will feel too spicy to eat. But the taste is very strong.
Zhou Mingshu ate a piece of mung bean cake before the meal, and felt a little full after eating half a bowl of dumplings.
But the dumplings were so delicious that she couldn't help but eat a few more. Then she drank a mouthful of the dumpling soup and felt so full that she could hardly walk.
"Mother, I can't eat anymore. I'm so full."
"Eat two more, there's still so much left in the bowl."
Zhu wanted her daughter to eat two more, but Zhou Mingshu couldn't eat another bite and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
The few dumplings left in the bowl went into Zhou Shouhou's bowl.
Although she could see that her son was a little anxious, Zhu still let the head of the household eat.
"You are really eating from your bowl and looking at the pot. You are lucky enough to finish this bowl."
Zhou Mingyuan, who was hit by the bear, lay obediently in the bowl and ate his meal.
Because more fillings were mixed this time, not only Chinese cabbage was added to the pork, but also lard and some chopped mushrooms, so there was enough for everyone's bowl.
In addition to the dumplings in everyone's bowl, there are still some left on the bamboo sieve. The adults have big appetites, so if it's not enough, they can have another bowl.
The meal was sumptuous and everyone enjoyed it very much. They all wanted to set off two plates of firecrackers to hear the sound.
Zhou Mingshu went out on the pretext of digesting his food. He first put a fish in the fish basket, and then went along the creek to enjoy the scenery.
I have to say that the scenery of Lianglin Village is really beautiful.
Fresh air, gurgling water, misty smoke from cooking, golden rice fields and pink clouds, all kinds of colors complement each other, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and the occasional barking of dogs adds to the interest.
"Sanyaya, Sanya, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." Zhou Mingqi appeared from behind.
"Are you full too?"
"Yeah, of course. I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time. It feels... It feels like a dream. San Ya, do you think this is a dream? When I wake up, there will be nothing at home."
Zhou Mingqi suddenly felt a little depressed. She didn't want to live the miserable life she had before.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Mingshu laughed and slapped Zhou Mingqi on the butt. "Does it hurt? Is this a dream?"
"It hurts~ It's not a dream, but I really feel like I'm dreaming."
Zhou Mingqi looked towards the west side of the mountain. The pink clouds covered the sky, so beautiful that she looked a little dazed.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine at home. You can come with me next time I go to town."
"Really? I'm afraid grandma won't agree."
"No, when our family has money and life gets better, we can coax her more and see if we can go out and play and go shopping together. The streets are still very lively."
"Okay, I believe you. What you said will definitely work. Hahaha."
"Second sister, you trust me too much. If the deal doesn't work out, I'll be the sinner."
The two sisters chatted with each other and walked slowly towards home in the afterglow of the setting sun.
……
The dining table at home has been put away, and two little kids are sitting in a basin, each taking a bath.
Old Mrs. Zhou caught all the chicks and put them in a basket. After a busy day, she finally had time to clean the chicken coop.
The two sisters helped to carry out the chicken manure, and then shoveled a lot of dry wood ash and sprinkled it on.
"Grandma, sprinkle some wood ash on the chicken droppings after you sweep them out. It will look cleaner and the chicken coop won't be so damp, and it will be easier to clean the droppings."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. This chicken shit is wet and hard to clean up."
Indeed, sprinkling wood ash can not only keep the chicken coop clean, but also prevent diseases. At least it will not be as severe as this epidemic.
A busy day is coming to an end.
From the moment she opened her eyes in the morning till now, she has been busy with various things.
Everyone in the family is the same and lives a very fulfilling life.
After taking a shower, Zhou Mingshu took out some of the dried gardenia residue and put it into his pillow.
The aroma of the steamed gardenia petals is not as strong, but the remaining faint fragrance is enough.
Falling asleep with the scent of gardenia as your pillow, just thinking about it feels so sweet.
It was not yet completely dark, and she exchanged some sandpaper from the system and polished the small stones she brought back from the mountains.
Although these stones are not famous jades, but just ordinary pebbles, after being carved and polished, they will also reveal some lustrous luster, which is also very interesting when placed in flower pots or fish tanks.
The celery on the table raised its head, enduring the heat of the day and enjoying the coolness of the night.
Zhou Mingshu tidied up the desk, tucked in a small quilt and lay down on the bed to rest.
Tomorrow, she will do another big job!
