Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 222

After a while, Jiang Xiaomi came out of the chicken coop holding two chickens in each hand, and Jiang Xiubai also carried one. The miserable defeated rooster was still being remembered by its greedy master. At this moment, it was tied up and was being held tightly by Jiang Xiubai, walking on the path leading to the kitchen.

"Miss, you're back! Master Bai is back too!"

The fat cook was preparing lunch for the masters. He was almost done. When he saw Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Xiubai carrying chickens in, he wiped his hands with his apron and took them. "Miss, this is... the old lady caught a chicken earlier and cut it in two. One half is in the vat outside and will be stewed tomorrow. The other half has already been stewed. Follow the instructions of the grandmother, and use less salt."

In ancient times, mothers were not allowed to eat salt during the confinement period. In fact, this bad habit still exists today. People think that eating salt during the confinement period is bad for the baby, so mothers can only eat food that has no taste at all.

It is true that mothers should have a light diet during the confinement period, but that does not mean they cannot eat salt. Sodium ions are an essential trace element for the human body, so how can they not eat salt?

Moreover, half a month after giving birth, the mother's urine volume will increase and the body will excrete a lot of sweat. At this time, it is necessary to replenish water and salt.

When Old Mrs. Yang heard Jiang Suying say this, she also argued with her. After all, she had never heard her say these things in all these years. Wasn’t it the same when she gave birth to Xiao Mian and her own Xiaomi?

But when he heard Jiang Suying say that this was what the imperial physician said, and that all the ladies in the palace had their confinement period in this way, he immediately said nothing!

eat!

Eat salt!

Enough to eat!

Jiang Suying also said no, salt is something that you cannot avoid, and you cannot eat too much of it. Eating too much will cause greater harm.

Old Mrs. Yang had nothing to say, and told the fat cook to listen to Jiang Suying. She then became the hands-off boss, not having to worry about anything, and was happy to have a leisurely life.

"We won't drink Auntie San's chicken soup. Let's leave it for her to drink! Let's make this chicken into a new food. I'll ask Chunya to help you later."

"Okay, miss!" The fat cook perked up when he heard about "new food": "Go to the dining room and take a rest first. Lunch will be ready soon. After lunch, come back and teach me how to make new food!"

"Okay." Jiang Xiaomi was indeed hungry, so she scooped some water from the kitchen and washed her hands with Jiang Xiubai.

This chicken is so unhygienic, rolling around in the dung pile. When you touch it, your hands are full of the smell of chicken shit. Jiang Xiubai is so disgusted!

Jiang Yipei's family and Jiang Yiyu came back, and the Jiang family's dinner table became much more lively.

Jiang Xiaomai asked Jiang Yiyu to hold her. She knew that her mother had given her a brother, but she hadn't seen him yet. Her father said that her mother was too tired and that her brother was still young and couldn't be held out to her. He would show him to her in a few days. She said, "Okay!"

Jiang Xiu'an looked left and right, but couldn't see Jiang Yitao and Jiang Xiubin, so he asked his mother, "Mom, where are my dad and my brother?"

Liu was serving him food when she heard him say, "Dad and brother are busy and they didn't come back this time. You eat first."

Jiang Xiu'an was not so easy to fool: "Why didn't you come back? Uncle and Third Uncle are back! Aren't they busy?"

"But your elder brother didn't come back!"

"Then why is Brother Xiaobai back?"

The child had a million questions in his mind, and was later blocked by a chicken leg.

This was something that Old Lady Yang personally fished out of Qin's soup pot and gave to her eldest granddaughter, and was used by Jiang Xiaomi to bet on Jiang Xiu'an.

After Jiang Xiu'an's mouth was stuffed, he paused for a moment, then began to chew.

He often eats chicken legs. Before his eldest sister came back, she and Xiaomai each had one chicken leg at home. Later, he hadn't eaten chicken legs for a long time. His mother and grandmother said that there were no chickens at home and he might not be able to eat them for a long time. When he heard that, he secretly cried. When he ate them again, they were delicious!

Jiang Xiu'an immediately forgot about his father and brother. Seeing Jiang Xiaomai looking at him, he and she each took half and took a bite.

After dinner, Jiang Yipei went out again with the blueprint of the brick kiln. A small number of people were left in Jiangjia Village to guard the village, and the others followed Jiang Yiyu to Luoshui County, or followed Jiang Lizheng to Nanxiang Town. Therefore, if the kiln needed to be fired, only the women who held up half the sky could do it.

Tailor Jiang's home is closest to the clay area that Jiang Xiumian and his team found years ago, but Tailor Jiang was busy making clothes in the county town and had no time to go home. His wife was pregnant, so Jiang Yipei could only move the brick-making workers' resting place to the dilapidated house next to his home.

This is the old house of Jiang the Butcher. It was destroyed by a flood and has never been repaired since.

Jiang Yipei did not order anyone to repair it immediately. He wanted to use the first batch of bricks that were fired to repair it. That way, the workers would at least have a sheltered place to rest.

The first step in firing a kiln is definitely to build the kiln. Since he has the blueprint, Jiang Yipei can direct people to build it by himself.

The original intention of making bricks was to build large blue brick and tile houses in Jiangjia Village, but unexpectedly, the people of Shangtang Village used them first.

Whatever other families have, we in Jiangjia Village must have. So Jiang Yipei arranged it as soon as he came back.

Jiang Yipei was working hard for the development and construction of Jiangjia Village, while Jiang Xiaomi was doing everything she could to satisfy her appetite. She took a sharp knife and deboned the chicken and cut it into pieces.

As for the rooster, the fat chef was going to make a chicken pot tonight, and the four tender chickens had already been arranged clearly.

Chicken breast, chicken breast with skin, chicken neck, chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken racks, etc. were all separated and placed.

Jiang Xiaomi also took out a lot of seasonings, including chili, Sichuan pepper, black pepper, white pepper, cumin powder, fried chicken powder, etc.

Green pepper chicken steak, Korean fried chicken, finger-licking original chicken, spicy chicken wings, popcorn chicken, grilled chicken neck, fried chicken rack!

She wants it all!

"Would it be a little troublesome?"

Jiang Xiubai listened to Jiang Xiaomi stumbling over a secret recipe for "XX Ji" that he had found from somewhere and was not sure whether it was real or not. Because the fat chef only knew a few words, Jiang Xiaomi had to read the recipe to him, and then the fat chef wrote it down using circles and crosses that he could understand, and then started cooking.

It was scary. It took me ten full minutes to recite it.

Although each dish has its own different flavor, isn’t it really too complicated?

"No trouble!" Before Jiang Xiaomi could say anything, the fat chef quickly responded, "Give me some time, it will be ready soon."

How can I say it’s troublesome when my master cooks for me?

I'll do it no matter how troublesome it is!

Even if you can't do it, you have to find a way to do it!

In short, you can't say no to the master's request!

Besides, I've given you the secret recipe and taught you step by step in detail, even telling you how much salt to add. If you can't even make it, what's the point of being a cook?
