A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband
Chapter 176 Toilet under construction
Shen Wu had never raised a baby before and didn't know how to raise a child. He was afraid that he would accidentally starve his little brother or overfeed him. The composition of the meals he gave him every day was basically the same, but he would add appropriate nutrition based on some videos he had seen in modern times.
For example, today, although it was still broken rice porridge, she chopped off a small portion of the ingredients for making double peppers and dried bamboo shoots. Of course, it was impossible for the child to eat the double peppers. What she chopped was dried bamboo shoots, just a small bit. She put the two foods, which she had almost chopped into a paste, in a bowl, added a little salt and flour, and stirred it into a thicker batter with chopsticks.
Every time Shen Wu returned to this time, he missed the pheasants in the yard and wanted to ask when they would lay eggs.
It's not that she doesn't buy eggs for her little brother, but every time she goes to the market, she never sees any. She is a little suspicious whether people here eat eggs. But some people can afford pork, so why are there so few eggs?
What Shen Wu didn't know was that after selling the buns, many things she went to the market for had already been sold. There weren't many families raising chickens in the town, and if there were any, their chickens had been pre-ordered early on by restaurants and wealthy families. Some families had a few of their own and were eager to give them to their children or exchange them with people around them for daily necessities. If she could run into someone selling eggs at the market, she was considered very lucky.
After cooking the rice porridge, Shen Wu turned on another stove and put some lard in to lubricate the pot. The child's sense of taste was not yet fully developed, so the meals prepared for him were all reduced in quantity and ingredients. Although the child had teeth and could eat complementary foods, and had eaten the meals she cooked so many times, Shen Wu was still very cautious, for fear that something bad would happen to the child.
Using a spoon to measure the amount, she scooped twice for a small pancake, and the amount she made was enough to make four or five.
Because the quantity was small and the pot was covered while simmering, each side only took about a minute to prepare.
Shen Wu took out the tofu cakes for his younger brother and put them aside to cool. He then put some oil in the pan and poured in the diced pepper and garlic to stir-fry.
Once you can smell the aroma in the kitchen, you can pour the tofu in and fry it. Because the oil pan is hot, the tofu will brown quickly. After both sides are browned, Shen Wu squeezes out the water from the soaked bamboo shoots and throws them into the pot.
This was the first time she ate the dried bamboo shoots she made herself. In modern times, she had only bought ready-made products. Shen Wu liked the soft and chewy texture of the dried bamboo shoots, but because they were a bit expensive, she didn't have many opportunities to buy and eat them.
If her home was in a humid mountain climate, Shen Wu would definitely eat it every day and never get enough, just like she ate nearly 100 kilograms of potatoes in a month. Dried bamboo shoots were also one of the foods she could not refuse.
The dried bamboo shoots in the pot need to be fried in oil to bring out the aroma. Although Shen Wu's back was sweating from the heat, he resisted the urge to wash his face for the sake of the delicious food.
When the surface of the dried bamboo shoots is charred under high heat, it is almost done. Since they are cooked before being dried, they do not need to be stewed for a long time.
Put some salt into the pot, stir fry evenly, then cover the lid and turn off the fire.
The rice porridge on the side was almost cooked. Because it was for four people and there was no staple food, Shen Wu cooked a big pot. The soup was a little thin, so she left some firewood in the stove to continue simmering it. When it became thick, it could be drunk.
The people here, no... it should be that Gu Zhou's family doesn't seem to have the habit of eating staple food. Shen Wu's family lives in the Central Plains, and every meal is inseparable from staple food such as rice and noodles. Even if they drink soup or porridge, they will also have some steamed buns.
Thinking of this, Shen Wu suddenly craved a kind of dry biscuits. Those were thin pancakes deliberately baked with vegetable oil and salt. Shen Wu's family would specially dry them when the weather was good to make the biscuits completely dry. Only in this way would they taste fragrant and delicious.
This kind of dry biscuit is also loved by an aunt in the family. She always eats it when her stomach is not feeling well. Shen Wu also liked it after trying it once, and he has to make some from time to time.
If you want to eat, just do it! She also wants to make some noodles as the main meal for lunch and dinner.
Fortunately, the weather was hot and the old dough used to sell buns was almost always available, so it was just right for use.
Shen Wu kneaded a large bowl of dough and placed it next to the still hot stove to let it rise. He drooled at the thought of making lasagna, pancakes, and steamed buns.
For the dish, you can make some braised pork slices and some rice soup, which is simply perfect.
When she finished her work and came out of the kitchen, the sun was already high in the sky. Perhaps because it was getting closer to winter, there was always a few wisps of mist hanging in front of the sun these days. The curling smoke in the early morning actually had some Dali Garden effect.
Shen Wu looked at it and suddenly burst out laughing. The Daliyuan effect. This joke hasn't been mentioned for a long time. It still reminds me of watching videos at home before I traveled through time. I kept watching these, and the Daliyuan and Panpan Mini Bread effects kept appearing in the barrage.
A breeze mixed with cold wind blew by, and she was suddenly pulled back from her memories. Gu Zhou had not come back yet, so she had time to do more work.
The toilet is the top priority these days. The foundation has been laid and hardened. Today, only two people are needed to weave two bamboo strips that are taller than the wall to make the wall and the door. One is also needed at the top of the mountain, but it needs to be more delicate than these, mainly to prevent rain and snow.
Earlier, when the yellow mud was being worked, she had dried a piece of mud. She walked over to observe it and found that it had some cracks, but it was not bad. It had hardened and would probably be ready for use after a few days.
She planned to use this thing as a dry toilet. Although it couldn't be flushed, as long as the slope was high enough, things that fell on it could be easily pushed down. And in winter, it wouldn't be a big problem as maggots and flies wouldn't breed.
She used the wooden hammer at home to go over the hole she dug yesterday several times. Because it was the foundation, some parts of the ground had been rammed before, so it was much easier for her to ram it again.
Shen Wu planned to mix the excavated soil with yellow mud to level it. Once it dried, it would become a solid big pit, so there would be no need to worry too much about the dry toilet leaking on the slope.
She also had the same idea, but it would probably be difficult to implement it. However, compared to when she dug a dry toilet in her home vegetable garden, used cement to make walls, and built a vegetable shed, it was a piece of cake. The only thing she was worried about was whether the yellow mud was solid.
But she was not afraid. She had lived with her grandmother many times when she was a child, and had lived in a yellow mud house. All she had to do was mix some flattened hay, wheat stalks, etc. in the mud to fix the mud.
Shen Wu became more and more energetic as he worked. He took the wooden hammer and began to compact the earth pit for the nth time without leaving any dead corners. Even though his forehead was covered with sweat, he didn't feel tired. Instead, he felt a bit high.
Gu Zhou went out early to water the fields. There was a bucket for carrying water at home, which was used for general purpose on weekdays. If there was a drought, it would be used exclusively for watering the fields.
He worked all morning long, watering thoroughly all the places with seedlings in the field, and clearing out all the extra weeds in the field. Then he came back carrying a load of water.
He saw her busying herself from a distance, with her back hunched as if she would never get tired, turning around and pounding the ground with a wooden stick.
