MTL - Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life-Chapter 25 work on yourself

  Chapter 25 Rely on yourself

  Ling'er is almost four months old. She checked on the Internet, and when she reaches six months, she can start feeding some complementary food.

  Considering that the baby was born prematurely and his gastrointestinal function would be poor, she decided to feed her liquid food after eight months.

  Before that, she had to learn how to cook well, and she couldn't be a mother who knew nothing.

   After feeding the child, she put her on the bed to play by herself. She took a piece of bread and poured herself a glass of red ginseng water.

  Sitting in front of the computer, while eating, I searched for recipes that are good for babies.

  The egg custard was selected first. She checked it out and found that there are many ways to make egg custard. The most traditional and simple method is to beat the eggs and mix them with water and steam them in a pot.

  The eggs in her refrigerator are all sterile eggs, and she hasn't touched a single one until now.

   After memorizing the recipes of several egg custards firmly in my heart, I went outside to tinker with the induction cooker.

  Looking at the first freshly baked egg custard, she smiled and started the mode of Wang Po selling melons.

   "After all, it is the head of a top student. You can learn it as soon as you learn it. According to the above-mentioned accurate operation, basically there is no failure. Hehe, I am awesome!"

  She put some soy sauce on it, and ordered two drops of sesame oil. The child can't eat it, so enjoy it by yourself.

  She took a spoonful of it happily, put it in her mouth, and closed her eyes. When did a bowl of custard conquer herself?

  I made it by myself, and I feel so happy when I eat it in my mouth. It seems that as long as she puts her heart into it, she can also cook.

  After finishing the last small bowl of custard, she struck while the iron was hot and made several different bowls of custard in succession.

   There are eggs with cows, eggs with diced sausage, eggs with diced carrots, and eggs with diced fruit. She tried them all.

   Several bowls in a row, she was full.

  However, considering the current situation of my daughter, it is most suitable to eat the first and second types after eight months, and the latter types can only be eaten when she grows up.

  She memorizes these custard recipes by heart, and will try it in a large iron pot outside, after all, there are still some differences between the induction cooker and the iron pot.

   After a meal, Xiaoshi strolled to the melon field, and when she saw the size of the watermelon, she immediately grinned.

  The whole melon can be sold tomorrow. The watermelon is already the size of a basketball. The melon in the freezer is like this. Does this indicate that the melon is ripe?

  I wanted to open one and taste it, but I finally held back thinking that my stomach was still full.

  After returning to the house, I did embroidery for a while, and then fell asleep with the child in my arms.

  I had a good sleep in the space. I wanted to go out the next day, but found that there was a strong wind outside, the sky was gloomy, and the ground was wet, which meant that it rained last night.

   Just in time to take a break, and I’m a little tired of going out every day.

  She cleaned the room where she slept and the kitchen, and made herself a bowl of millet paste with the broken machine in the space.

  It’s not worth it if one person cooks porridge specially. After heating up a hamburger and serving it with rice cereal, it’s considered breakfast.

   It's been several months, and she hasn't cooked well. The restaurant is not to her taste, and the stalls outside are not clean for her.

   Now that she has money and conditions, she has a mild cleanliness disorder.

  Since God gave her a holiday, she took a good rest, took a basket, locked the courtyard door and went out.

  After traveling for such a long time, she learned that most people here use lard for cooking, and vegetable oil is precious, and it is generally used by people who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha and restaurants.

  Furthermore, high-ranking officials and rich people use vegetable oil, while ordinary people buy pork and refine it at home.

  She wants to buy a piece of pork, and buy some suet by the way. If there is vegetable oil, she will buy some more. If there is no rice at home, she will also buy some.

   At noon, make braised pork, stir-fry vegetables, and steam some rice to work yourself out.

  When passing by the embroidery shop, shopkeeper Lu waved at her.

   "Sister, come in and sit down?"

   "No, I'm going to buy a piece of pork and some vegetables. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Today's weather is bad, so I can't leave the stall. I have to work myself out."

   "Yo, do you want to improve your life?"

   "Yeah, are you coming?"

   "Come on, the weather is not good today, and the shop is not very busy, let them look at the shop, I will go to your place for a meal."

   "That's fine, then I'll go shopping for vegetables first, and you can go there later and eat the ready-made ones."

"OK."

   Regardless of the bad weather, people here are reluctant to take a day off. As long as there is no heavy rain, they will usually go out to make a living.

  June is coming soon, and all kinds of green vegetables are coming out.

  Qiao Mai saw someone selling cucumbers. He bought five catties for one penny and two catties of plum beans. He also bought a handful of shallots, a handful of water spinach, and a piece of tofu. As long as they don’t stick to meat, green vegetables are very cheap.

  Even tofu is worth two pennies. She is not afraid of anything if she has the space.

   There is no shortage of seasonings, so there is no need to buy them. The last time Lu Sanniang bought them for her confinement, she hasn’t moved much. There is an entire shelf in the space, and there is everything you want.

  Although she didn't know how to cook before, she still couldn't help buying something when she saw something on the spice rack in the supermarket.

   Being a foodie, she even prepared a lot of hot pot base, mustard in bags, and various cans.

   After all, it can save trouble. She didn't bother before.

  Now I don’t need to study, I don’t need to do tasks. I have time, so I naturally want to live a good life.

   When I came to the meat stall, I saw that the boss, who was big and thick, was cutting up a whole pig. It seemed that it was freshly slaughtered in the morning and had just been pulled over.

   Seeing someone coming to buy meat, the boss greeted her warmly while dividing the meat.

   "Little lady, are you buying meat? This meat was just slaughtered this morning, and it's fresh."

  Qiao Mai looked at the meat, and regretted that he didn't store some pork in the space in his previous life. There is no fat and thin pork belly here, and there is only a small layer of lean meat on the thick white meat.

  The thinnest part is the back seat, but the meat in the back seat is not suitable for braised in soy sauce. The ribs are the most suitable for braised in soy sauce, commonly known as pork belly.

  But she looked at it, she was so fat, she lost her appetite, so she pointed to the piece of meat on the front shoulder.

   "How much is a catty here?"

   "Thirty texts."

   "What about the back seat?"

   "It's also thirty cents a catty, suet fifteen cents a catty, pig's head five cents a catty with bone, pig's trotters, pig tails, offal are five cents a catty, and big bones are two cents a catty."

  The store owner was afraid that she would be troublesome to ask one by one, so he quoted all the prices to her in one go.

   "Then give me five catties of backseat meat and five catties of front shoulder meat. I need these pieces of suet."

   "Little lady, it's hot, if you buy so many, it will be damaged."

   It seems that this butcher is still a conscientious seller. This sentence immediately made Qiao Mai feel good about him, and decided to take care of his business more in the future.

   "It can't be broken. I only save some thin ones for dinner at noon. The fat ones are all refined into oil. The oil is squeaking to make dumplings. There are many people in the family."

   "Oh, that's okay."

When the boss weighed the meat for her, the scales were all high. After the weighing, Qiao Mai paid the money. He wanted to buy some fat intestines and pig's trotters. Sorry for the trouble, let's talk about it later.

   Wait until winter to order some more from the meat boss, cook them in a big pot, and then invite Lu Sanniang's family to eat them.

  By the way, there is also pork head meat, which is also delicious. Her favorite is cold pig ears. There is a universal sauce in the space, and any cold dish will be delicious with it.

  Thinking about it, the mouth is full of saliva, and I put the meat in the basket and went home directly.

  As soon as she got home, she went back to the space to see that the child was still sleeping. She didn't dare to make a sound, so she turned on the computer and looked it up online.

  Keep in mind the methods of boiling lard, braised pork, mapo tofu, fried spinach, green onion and eggs one by one.

  The seasonings needed are also found from the shelves, and some are also poured out to make room for them.

  Standing in the kitchen, she took a deep breath, went to the chopping board, set aside a piece of braised pork, and removed the fat from the rest, cut them into small pieces, and cut a few pieces of suet into small pieces.

   Guys, can you give me a recommendation? It's time to test the waters today, why can't our heroine be eliminated? ah? ah? ah? Tickets go.
