Chapter 21 Goat Milk
The goat milk was brought back. At this time, Zhen Yue had been in confinement for more than half a month. She still had a forehead protector on her forehead as she walked out of the room.
When Mrs. Qiao Chen saw her coming out, she immediately pushed her back to the room, "You can't be exposed to the wind now, go back to your room quickly."
Zhen Yue: "Nothing, it's hot today and there doesn't seem to be any wind. Didn't Dad bring back the goat milk? I'll sit next to you, Mom, please help me boil it."
Qiao Chenshi: "Cooked?"
Zhen Yue: "Well, just do whatever I say."
Although Qiao Chen was confused, she still did as Zhen Yue said. She washed the pot, lit the fire, put the goat milk in to cook, and then added a little salt. Adding salt to cooking goat milk can make the strong smell of goat milk lighter.
Soon the goat milk was cooked. "Zhen, can we drink it now?"
Zhen Yue: "Well, wait until it's not so hot, then you can try it. Drinking this is good for you."
"Okay, I'll try." Mrs. Qiao Chen got a small bowl, blew it to cool it down and took a sip. After the goat milk was cooked and a little salt was added, the strong smell became much lighter. Her mouth was full of milk flavor and it tasted quite good.
Mrs. Qiao Chen licked her lips and continued to drink sip after sip, and soon finished the small bowl of goat milk. "Mrs. Zhen, it tastes quite good. Do you want some? I'll give you a bowl."
Zhen Yue: "Well, give me some to drink. And Xiaohua and the others, give them some to drink as well."
"Okay, okay. I'll call them back." Qiao Chen originally wanted to give Xiaohua and the others something to drink, but she was afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law would scold her, after all, she had scolded them too much in the past.
After Qiao Dashan brought back the goat milk, he went to work in the fields. Now there are only Zhen Yue, Qiao Chenshi and four children at home.
As for Achu, Zhen Yue did not feed him because salt was added to goat milk and babies cannot eat salt.
Why did Zhen Yue know this? Because in her previous life, a baby was born in her neighbor’s house. The new mother wanted to give her child a taste of something so she wanted to make some soup for the child to lick. Then the mother was scolded by her mother, and Zhen Yue next door heard it all.
"Newborn babies can't eat salt. Do you want to kill our little treasure?" Zhen Yue remembered what the mother yelled. In the last days, there were few children born, so it was a great joy to have a new baby in the family.
The apocalypse she lives in is not the one described on TV with zombies everywhere, but rather the mutation of various plants and animals, abnormal weather, the farther distance between the sun and the earth, the reduction of global food production, and the difficulty of human survival.
As someone with wood-related abilities, she can give birth to all kinds of plants and is highly valued by the government. Every day she works in the research institute growing all kinds of edible plants.
Later, the apocalypse ended because the distance between the sun and the earth returned to normal, the weather also returned to normal, and although animals and plants mutated, human technology also developed new edible species.
However, she traveled through time before she could enjoy that normal time. She felt really unlucky, even though she had made contributions to mankind.
"By the way, Qiao Da and the others are still working in the fields. We can send them water and the goat milk as well," Zhen Yue suggested.
Mrs. Qiao Chen: "Okay, I'll send it to them." She had nothing to do at home anyway, and her eldest grandson was not making a fuss.
When Mrs. Qiao Chen delivered the water and goat milk to the field, Mrs. Qian noticed something in the jar that smelled of milk, "What is this?"
Qiao Dashan came over and asked, "Is this the goat milk I just brought back?"
Qian: "Goat milk? Can I drink this?"
Qiao Chenshi: "I just drank it, I think it tastes good. It's been cooked, and although it still has a little taste, I think it's very good. It's not hot anymore, you can drink it directly."
Qiao Chao walked over and said, "Give me a bowl." He remembered that people outside the Great Wall liked to drink goat's milk. People from the Central Plains were generally not used to it and thought it tasted bad and fishy!
At that time, everyone thought that it was something only lowly people drank. How could a nobleman drink that kind of thing? But now... he is also considered a lowly person.
Qiao Chao took the bowl from Qiao Chenshi. The fishy smell of the goat milk in the bowl was indeed much less. He took a sip and tasted it, and actually thought it was okay.
Then he finished the whole bowl and handed it to Qiao Chenshi, "Not bad."
Qiao Chenshi: "Yeah, I think it's pretty good."
Everyone else drank a small bowl, and everyone thought it was okay.
Mrs. Qiao Chen: "Only one penny." But you thought that the penny was wasted, but you didn't expect it to be quite good. No, why didn't they know to cook it and drink it before?
In fact, they are not unaware of cooking it and drinking it. It is just that ordinary people like them can seldom afford cattle and sheep, and those who can afford it just kill them and eat the meat.
The Zhu family in the next village has a ewe. Their son is a hunter and caught the ewe when he went into the mountains. The ewe is still alive, so the Zhu family keeps it.
At noon, when everyone was having lunch together, Qiao Dashan asked, "Will you go to Zhu's house and buy a pot every day?"
Mrs. Qiao Chen paused and said, "No need?" One cent a day is thirty cents a month. Even if the family has some money now, they can't spend it like this, right?
"However, I still have to ask Zhen." After thinking about it, she decided to ask, but she felt that charging only one penny a day was not a good idea.
Qiao Chao quickly finished his meal and said, "I'll go ask."
He quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and returned to the room. His son was lying on the bed with his eyes open and drooling from the corners of his mouth, while Zhen Yue was eating chicken and drinking chicken soup with his meal.
"Mom, do you need me to buy a basin of goat milk every day? If you need it, I will go and tell you. Don't worry about the money." Money should be earned by men.
Zhen Yue glanced at him and put down the bowl. "Not for now, wait until I'm out of confinement. If you think it tastes good, you can buy it back from time to time."
Qiao Chao: “Okay.”
A month passed quickly. On the day of the full moon, Zhen Yue asked Qiao Chao to boil water for her in advance. She washed two pots of water by herself and felt refreshed.
Today, Qiao Chen and Qian went to the market and bought some things, preparing to hold a full moon banquet for their first grandson. Of course, it was just their family alone, and at most they would invite the village chief's family.
As for Zhen Yue's parents, Qiao Chen asked if they should be allowed to come over, but Zhen Yue rejected it outright, "No need, just let our family eat a little."
"Okay, but I still have to give a shout-out to the village chief's family. Aunt Jin also came to help you when you gave birth."
Zhen Yue: “Okay.”
In the evening, everyone sat at the table. Only the village chief and Aunt Jin came from the village chief's family. His son, daughter-in-law and grandson did not come with them, probably because they were afraid of becoming a burden to the Qiao family.
Mrs. Qiao Chen and Mrs. Qian quickly brought out pots of dishes from the kitchen. Today's dishes were very rich, with chicken, fish, and pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, fish stewed with tofu, fried pork with beans, fried eggs with leeks, as well as fried vegetables, fried radish, fried peanuts, and fried pickles.
There were eight dishes in total, three of which were meat dishes. The village chief and his wife, Aunt Jin, were stunned. They didn't expect that Qiao Dashan's family would have such a sumptuous meal. Although it was a full-month banquet, it was the first time they saw so many meat dishes.
It's not like they had not attended other people's grandchildren's full-month banquets before, but usually there were only two meat dishes, or even just one, and the rest were vegetarian dishes. There were even three pots of pickled vegetables.
