A Time Travel Effort in the 70s
Chapter 68: Shen Jiaren knocks on pine cones, Liu Hui cleans the kitchen
After watching Goudan and Erya walk away, Shen Jiaren turned around and went back to her own yard.
Shen Jiaren looked at the vegetables and dumplings in the basket and didn't know what to do with them. If she put them in the refrigerator in the manor, it would be difficult to explain when Liu Hui came over to cook in the evening and found them. But if she put them in the warehouse outside the yard, how should she store them?
Shen Jiaren thought about it and directly placed the vegetables in the basket on the warehouse shelf in the west room. As for how to preserve them, she planned to ask Liu Hui to come and teach her later.
Shen Jiaren felt that since someone came to help her cook, she couldn't help but show her appreciation, so she took out two tomatoes and a cucumber from the basket, and also took out two apples from the manor warehouse. She washed them and put them in a bowl so that Liu Hui could eat them directly when he came.
Before Shen Jiaren finished washing these things, she heard someone knocking on the door. Shen Jiaren put down the things in her hands and just walked to the door,
"Xiao Shen, it's me, Liu Hui. Open the door for me. I have a lot of things to bring."
"Ah!!! Oh oh oh, wait a moment, I'll open the door right away, right away." After Shen Jiaren said this, she quickly opened the gate of the yard to let Liu Hui in.
When Shen Jiaren opened the door, she found that Liu Hui was holding a lot of things, the first of which were two jars.
Shen Jiaren reached out her hand to help take it, but Liu Hui said, "No need. Don't bother. Just close the door and come to the kitchen." After that, Liu Hui walked towards the kitchen with the things in his arms.
After Shen Jiaren quickly closed the gate of the yard, she followed Liu Hui to the kitchen.
As soon as Liu Hui walked into the kitchen, he looked at the ashes on the kitchen stove, and then looked under the kitchen chimney to see that there was no ashes. He knew that Shen Jiaren had not been in the kitchen to cook and didn't know how to eat.
Liu Hui stood in the kitchen and looked around, and found that there was really no place to put his things.
"Xiao Shen, where do you usually put your things?"
"Oh, put it in the warehouse. The west room is the warehouse."
After hearing Shen Jiaren's answer, Liu Hui turned around and went to the warehouse with his things.
After Liu Hui put the things he was holding on the shelf in the west room warehouse, he went to the yard.
"Xiao Shen, find me a rag for use in the kitchen, and bring me a basin. From now on, this basin and rag will be placed in the kitchen and used in the kitchen."
"Oh, oh, oh. As for the cloth, I'll find it for you. As for the basin, the extra ones are in the west room. Go and have a look. If you find the one that's suitable, just take it." After saying that, Shen Jiaren went back to the main room to look for the defective cloth that Su Hongmei had given her when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative last time.
Shen Jiaren thought for a long time, took out the leftover cloth from making gloves, and the remaining cloth from cutting cloth last time, put them in a basket and gave it to Liu Hui, ready for Liu Hui to choose by himself, and he could choose whatever he wanted to use.
Liu Hui looked at Shen Jiaren carrying a small basket of cloth into the kitchen and couldn't help but find it funny. Has she never been to a kitchen before? How come she can't even pick a kitchen rag? And there are such good cloths in it. What does she want to do in the kitchen?
Liu Hui smiled and shook his head, took out a few particularly tattered pieces of cloth from the basket, and started cleaning the kitchen.
"Okay, take it back and put it away, then sit outside and continue doing what you were doing. I'll call you if I need anything."
"Um, don't you need my help?"
"No, just sit outside. I'll call you if anything happens."
"Uh-huh."
After Shen Jiaren finished answering, she sat in the yard and began to wash the fruits, cucumbers and tomatoes.
"Brother Liu Hui, I washed some tomatoes, cucumbers, and apples and put them in the yard. Remember to eat them when you come out later."
"understood."
Seeing that Liu Hui just answered and didn't come out, Shen Jiaren ignored him and sat under the awning to start studying how to peel pine nuts. After all, she was planning to make a fortune from this. It was so free at this time, and the key was that there was a native person next to her. If she didn't study it now, when would she study it?
Shen Jiaren took a small wooden stool and sat in front of the drying pine cones. She looked at the pine cones for a long time. The pine cones were fried into flowers and the pine nuts could be seen, but Shen Jiaren observed for a long time and didn't know if there was any easy way to peel them out.
After thinking for a while, Shen Jiaren took a pine cone that had exploded and went to the kitchen. "Brother Liu Hui, do you have any easy way to peel the pine nuts from this pine cone?"
"Wear a pair of gloves, use a stick to knock on the pine cones that have bloomed, and let the pine cones that haven't bloomed dry in the sun. Another way is to split the pine cone in half from the middle, and knock a few times, and all the pine nuts will come out.
But I'm afraid you don't have that kind of tool, so you can just use a stick to knock it. Whatever it hits is what it hits. After knocking it, check whether it is knocked clean. If not, just peel the pine nuts in the opposite direction of the pine cone. "
"Oh, I know."
After Shen Jiaren finished answering, she went to the west room to find her wheat-cutting gloves, and also took out a flat bamboo basket, planning to put the basket under the pine cones to catch the pine nuts.
Shen Jiaren found a handy piece of firewood next to the pine cones drying in the rain and started to knock the pine cones.
After hearing the "click, click, click" sound in the kitchen, Liu Hui quickened the pace of cleaning the kitchen.
When Shen Jiaren felt her hands were about to go numb from beating pine cones, she smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen. It was the fragrance of pork. Shen Jiaren put down the pine cone beating mallet and went to the kitchen to see that Liu Hui seemed to be refining lard.
"Brother Liu Hui, what are you doing?"
"I saw you had lard in the warehouse, so I'll refine it for you. Take out the things you bought today that can't be put in, and I'll make them into sauces or canned food for you. If you want to eat it later, you can heat it up in a pot, add water to cook vegetables or noodles."
"Oh, let me get it for you."
After Shen Jiaren ran to the west room, she quickly took out the tofu, fish, chicken, pork elbows, ribs, and remaining pork belly from the refrigerator.
Shen Jiaren didn't care whether Liu Hui would be surprised or not. Why there were no things in the warehouse just now, but now there were so many things? Shen Jiaren thought about it and decided to pretend. She took the things and went to the outer room of the main house, and then went to the kitchen from the outer room.
Liu Hui looked at the many things in Shen Jiaren's basket and asked, "Are these all from the sack today?"
"Well, almost. There are still some coarse grains and fine grains. I put some in the west room and hid some in the main room. I also took some tofu, pork belly, white flour and cabbage to make dumplings today."
"No wonder the sack is so heavy. Take out all the vegetables from the sack and put them in the west room. I'll store them for you later, otherwise they won't last long."
"Oh, okay, there are a lot, including tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, and greens. I'll get them all out for you later."
“Okay, just take them all out and put them in the west room.
By the way, can you eat spicy food?"
"good."
"Also, it's not right that you have so many seasonings. Didn't you buy a lot last time? Bring the remaining ones to the kitchen.
Especially salt, it has to be salty if it is stored for a long time, there is not enough salt here, and I took a small amount. The two together are not enough. "
"Oh, I'll go get it for you in the outer room."
When Shen Jiaren put the seasonings from the outer room into a bamboo basket and carried the basket to the kitchen, she saw that the entire kitchen, especially the stove, had changed drastically.
