Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

As soon as it got light, I took a basket and went to the street to buy vegetables. Today is Xiuwen's birthday and the college is also closed. On normal days, Xiuwen and his friends would go back to the countryside to look after the vegetable fields.

Today is my birthday, Jiang Chuan is still here, I can't go back to look after the vegetable garden, I decided to buy more good vegetables, make a table of more sumptuous meals, and have a good meal with the whole family.

Braised lion's head, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised herring, stir-fried rabbit cubes, small river shrimps and green peppers fried river shrimps I came across at the vegetable market. I was thinking about the dishes I wanted to cook, drooling in my heart, while buying the chicken, fish, meat, and ten kilograms of fat.

We don't have much oil at home, so let's boil some oil at home. After I go to the city, it will be more convenient for Xiuwen and Qiwen to cook at home. I'll also have some tofu, which I'll take back and fry later. I also have red fruits at home, so I'll fry the tofu with red fruits, and the sour and sweet taste will be so good.

I even saw wild celery for sale, so I spent two cents and bought a bunch. Wait, wild celery fried with meat, I haven't eaten it for a long time, it smells so good! I also had to order a few pounds of eggs.

After buying the vegetables, he went to the grocery store and bought a lot of flour, brown rice, seasoning and salt. There were too many things, so he gave the waiter five cents and asked him to send it back. The waiter agreed very happily and sent it over immediately.

Children grow fast, and the clothes we bought for them before are already very old. After they pass the Tongsheng stage, they can no longer wear shorts like before, but have to wear long robes. Winter is coming soon, so they need to buy winter cotton clothes as well.

There are many colors in the clothing store, but my favorites are navy blue, black and silver gray.

I bought him an autumn coat in one color, a cotton coat in the same color, and selected two sets of fine cotton underwear for him. Qiwen also bought one according to the same standard. I saw that there were freshly sewn quilts for sale in the store. Thinking that Xiuwen's quilt was already very old, I bought him a new quilt and replaced the old one for him to use as a quilt. Finally, I wrote two pairs of shoes, a pair of high cotton boots for rainy and snowy days. I also bought two pairs of shoes for Qiwen to wear on ordinary days, two sizes smaller.

He gave the clerk five cents as usual and sent him back.

After finishing these things, I have to buy Xiuwen a real birthday present. Thinking of the pen he uses to write, it is not very good anymore. I will take this opportunity to buy a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone as a birthday present for her!

The best writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone are really not cheap.

A good wolf-hair brush costs two taels of silver this year, and a good Hu inkstone costs about the same. I gritted my teeth and bought it. I also asked the store owner to give me a piece of good ink and a piece of paper. It was almost seven taels of silver. There was some dusty paper in the corner of the store that didn't look very good. I persuaded him and promised to buy all the brushes, inks, paper and inkstones from this store in the future. I asked the store owner to give me another stack. Then I returned home with the brushes, inks, paper and inkstones I bought.

When we got home, Xiaobao was the only one at home. It turned out that Jiangchuan heard that we had just begged for a vegetable plot and often went there to pick vegetables to eat. Suddenly he became interested and dragged Xiuwen out for an outing on horseback, saying that they would pick some fruits and vegetables for lunch.

I didn't bother to care about them, but Xiaobao was a little unhappy, probably because he felt that they went out to play without him. I pretended not to notice it, because he was too young to play with others.

Xiaobao went to do his own thing. I went to the kitchen to boil the oil first, so that it would be useful for cooking later. It was not too big. Qiwen finished his homework and came to help me pick vegetables. Chop the meat into minced meat, make meatballs one by one, roll them in egg liquid, and fry them in hot oil. Take them out and put them aside for later use. Chop the chicken into pieces, cut the small mushrooms into pieces, put them in the soup, put them in a large plate and bowls. Mix sugar and cornstarch and add seasonings to make a sauce, and pour it on the steamed lion head. For the whole herring, first cut a piece of the fish body, and there is no cooking wine on the piece. Just pour a little rice wine in it, add ginger, marinate it for a while, and fry it in a pan until both sides are crispy. Add a little water, put shredded ginger and chopped chili peppers. Cover the lid and simmer for a while, and the aroma will come to your nose. Take two cucumbers grown in the yard and smash them, add garlic, and a cold salad is ready. Pick two eggplants, cut them into long strips, fry them, then add minced garlic, chopped green onions and dried chilies. The delicious garlic eggplant is ready to be served.

At this time, Xiuwen and Jiangchuan also came back. Xiuwen's face was flushed, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed. He sat on the horse with Jiangchuan. He just stumbled when he got off the horse. It seemed that he was not completely familiar with it. He looked like a teenager nowadays who had just touched a car, a little unfamiliar and very excited.

Seeing the table full of dishes, the two boys and Xiaobao washed their hands and put on the dishes. Jiangchuan took out a book of policy papers and gave it to Xiuwen as a birthday gift. Xiaobao gave him a piece of calligraphy he wrote. I also put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I bought in Xiuwen's room and told him to go and see it later.

Xiu Wen thanked them one by one, and then they sat down together and prepared to eat.

In ancient times, spices were not as popular as they are now, and people basically ate the food in its original flavor. Few people cooked spicy dishes like me, and the three children ate so much that they lost their image. Especially Jiangchuan exclaimed that it was delicious. Xiuwen was embarrassed, but he couldn't help eating too much. Xiaobao kept saying it was spicy and slurping.

I laughed out loud.

The day ends in this warm and happy time.
