Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Lu Sangui smiled, raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat off his face, handed the watermelon to Qi Sanniang and put it in the well.

"Hey, sister-in-law, I don't come here for no reason. This time I came here to ask you something."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Du Wenxiu dragged a stool over from the side and asked him to sit down.

Lu Sangui was not shy, he sat down and said with a wry smile:

"It's your sister-in-law. She's pregnant. She throws up everything she eats. It's only been a few days and her chin has become pointed."

"I see this with my own eyes and am worried. It's fine for an adult, but if he eats and then throws up, how can a child grow up?"

Du Wenxiu's face darkened and he said in a deep voice:

"Sangui, I'm not saying this to you. No matter how important the child is, the adult should be the first priority. That's the person you're going to spend your whole life with. If you don't feel sorry for him, who will?"

"That's what my sister-in-law said." Lu Sangui smiled and said:

"I just want to come to my sister-in-law and get two jars of good sauce to mix with her rice. At least it can help her eat something."

Du Wenxiu frowned slightly: "This pickle is fermented food after all, pregnant women should not eat too much."

"No, sister-in-law, she really can't eat anything. I just want to buy the sauce that sister-in-law doesn't sell to the public. I'll pay the price."

Lu Sangui said with a smile, Du Wenxiu looked gloomy and glared at him:

"Am I reluctant to give it up? This sauce is fermented, you don't know until you make it yourself. It's fine for us to use it as a seasoning, but it can't be used as a dish for pregnant women every day. It's not nutritious enough."

Lu Sangui also drooped his face and smiled bitterly: "She vomits every day after eating, saying that the food has no taste. I don't know what to do."

Du Wenxiu pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? We usually eat mostly steamed, boiled or stewed food. Is it because she tastes the strong taste of water that she thinks it has no taste?"

Lu Sangui shook his head blankly and was given another cold stare by Du Wenxiu.

"Now that Yue Niang and I are renovating our restaurant, it's time to train the chef. I'll discuss it with Yue Niang and let him cook at my house for a few days first."

"Just listen to me. Take a jar of sauce back first, and then send someone to bring a food box over for dinner."

Lu Sangui still frowned after hearing this: "Sister-in-law, I have recommended dishes to all the famous restaurants in this city, but it's useless. She should vomit anyway..."

"Then try my recipe. I won't cook too much, just two dishes for one meal. You can ask the servants to bring them." Du Wenxiu was too lazy to explain more and just said directly.

After sending Lu Sangui away and seeing that it was getting late, Du Wenxiu thought for a while and decided not to go to Yue Niang. He said hello to A Luo and the others and went to the street to buy vegetables.

When I came back, I went to the workshop and took a jar of pickled cucumbers and a jar of pickled watermelon beans.

After returning home, Qi Sanniang looked at Haisheng, and A Luo tied an apron and helped her.

She first soaked the pork liver she bought in clean water, and then went to the vegetable garden in the yard to pick a few garlic sprouts.

——The flower garden in the backyard has long been converted into a vegetable garden.

"What's the point of planting those flowers? They can't be eaten or drunk." said A Luo.

Anyway, as long as they didn't ask her to work, Du Wenxiu didn't care what they did.

Now the vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing very lushly, and the family has saved a lot of money on buying vegetables.

When I returned to the kitchen, I saw A Luo rubbing the pig liver with his hands in clean water, so I said, "Auntie, why don't you add two spoons of salt? I'm afraid it will be washed more cleanly."

"Ah, don't add salt. Salt is so expensive..." A Luo was a little hesitant.

Du Wenxiu laughed and said, "Auntie, the watermelons from Sangui that we ate this summer are equivalent to the salt we consumed."

After hearing this, A Luo felt a little embarrassed. He took two spoonfuls of salt and added it to the water, then started kneading it again.

"Pregnant women have very picky tastes. They will only eat food if it's cooked without any fishy smell," said Du Wenxiu.

She scooped some water to wash the cucumbers and soak the black fungus, and peeled the garlic: "Stir-fry the pork liver, and then smash the cucumber and mix it with the black fungus. Let her try it first."

"I also took two jars of pickles from the workshop. I couldn't finish them, so I just ate them."

Slice the cucumber, mash the garlic, and add various seasonings. Then just add the pork liver and black fungus.

I heard Haisheng groaning outside, maybe he was hungry again.

Du Wenxiu hurriedly took off her apron and went out. Before she started cooking, she decided to feed the little ancestor at home first.

"How about you teach me and I'll do it for you?" Seeing that she was sweating all over, Qi Sanniang hurriedly handed her a clean wet towel. Du Wenxiu took it and wiped her face casually.

"Let me cook the first meal. Call the restaurant's chef to come over tomorrow. He should be familiar with the restaurant's new dishes."

"Xiuniang, the pork liver has been washed, but does it need to be cut into slices?" A Luo asked at the kitchen door.

"Yes, please cut it into thin slices, the thinner the better." Du Wenxiu turned his head and responded casually.

After receiving the instructions, A Luo went back to the kitchen to work.

Qi Sanniang had nothing in her hands, so she went to the backyard to pick some beans and eggplants to prepare for her own dinner.

"Auntie, I bought some extra cucumbers and I also have some extra fungus. Let's make a cold dish for dinner."

"Then why don't I just go pick some more Nepeta tenuifolia and mix it in?" Qi Sanniang asked. Du Wenxiu thought about it and nodded.

"We were worried that the smell of Nepeta was too strong and Sangui's family wouldn't be used to it. It's just right for us to eat it ourselves."

Qi Sanniang ran to the backyard again and came back to tidy up everything. Haisheng fell asleep while eating.

Du Wenxiu handed Haisheng to Qi Sanniang and went to the kitchen.

By now the fungus has been soaked, put it in boiling water and blanch it, then take it out and put it in a bowl with the cucumber.

Du Wenxiu put the pig liver in and rolled it around. As soon as it changed color, he took it out and put it on a plate.

Pour the prepared sauce into the cucumber and black fungus, mix well and set aside to let it absorb the flavor.

A'Luo lit a blazing fire, and the pot was boiling. He poured oil on the edge of the pot, and smoke came out in no time.

Du Wenxiu added ginger, garlic and peppercorns to bring out the aroma, then immediately put the garlic sprouts in and stir-fried them continuously.

Fry until cooked, then add the pork liver, soy sauce, salt, sugar, a little rice wine, and cornstarch into a paste, then it's ready to serve.

The dishes were ready, but the people from the Lu family had not arrived yet. Perhaps because Lu Sangui felt ashamed of being rejected, he did not send anyone.

Du Wenxiu took out a food box, put two dishes on it, called Qiuyue to bring two jars of pickles, and went out.

If he doesn't come, I'll just send it there myself. Whether it's good or not, it's a token of my thoughtfulness.

Lu Sangui's house was not far from the newly purchased courtyard of Du Wenxiu. Most people with a little bit of wealth in the city lived in this area.

Just go out, turn two corners and walk a little further and you will arrive.

When she arrived at Lu's house and knocked on the door, the doorman saw that it was her and did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried to report to Lu Sangui.

He came out quickly, but his face looked anxious.

"Oh, sister-in-law, why do you have to make another trip?" he said from a distance.
