I trade in both worlds

When Xu Qiwei heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Black and white."

Xu Zhun disagreed: "No, this name doesn't sound good at all. I want a more impressive name."

Xu Xu wanted to know what kind of impressive name he could come up with: "What do you want to name your dog, Xiao Zhun?"

Xu Zhun scratched his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Xu Xu: ...

Xu Jin: "You haven't thought it through yet, so just call them Dahei and Dabai. Wait until you've made up your mind."

Xu Zhun was a little unwilling, but he couldn't think of anything else, so he could only reluctantly say: "Okay. I'll change their names when I think of one."

Who knew that after getting used to calling the dog this, Xu Zhun never thought about naming the dog again.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Xu Xu announced, "From today on, our dogs will be named Dahei and Dabai."

Xu Qiwei insists on his own double name: "Black and white."

Xiao Jin touched Dahei and said, "You will be called Dahei from now on, okay?"

Xiao Zhun also imitated his brother, touched Dabai and told him: "You will be called Dabai from now on, remember."

After deciding on the names of the two dogs, Xu Xu closed the courtyard door and told the three people: "Xiao Jin, Xiao Zhun, Wei Wei, do you want to go to the main hall to play? If you want to play in the yard, you can only play in the shade, not in the sun, and you can't leave the yard."

Xu Zhun, who just wanted to play with the puppy, replied: "We will play in the shade and won't go out. We still have to watch Tiantian."

Xu Jin replied, "I won't leave the yard, I'll stay at home." Xu Qiwei didn't even listen to Xu Xu's words about being busy, he was running around in circles with the two dogs.

Seeing that they were all willing to stay in the yard, Xu Xu let them go. He picked up the chicken cage and put the chicks in the chicken coop. He found some rice bran in the west wing, mixed it and poured it into the chicken feeder, then went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Xu Xu first took out the large intestine, small intestine and pig stomach, rubbed them continuously with wood ash, and washed them twice in a row. Then he washed them with salt and poured the dirty water into the compost pit.

Xu Xu looked at the meat he bought, put the lard aside, used the large intestine and pig's trotters for braising, used the small intestine for making soup, and marinated the pig's stomach with salt. As for the two bones, he would cook one today and marinate the other with salt.

There was one pig lung left. Xu Xu held the lung in his hand, but seemed unable to bring himself to deal with it. After thinking about it, he decided to take it to Xu Jizong's house in the afternoon and let them deal with it.

After the distribution, Xu Xu prepared to refine the oil. The lard residue could be used to make dumplings. Thinking of the vegetable lard dumplings, Xu Xu's saliva began to water rapidly. In order to eat the dumplings as soon as possible, Xu Xu quickly cleaned the lard and cut it into knuckle-length cubes.

Put the cut pork fat into the pot, add a spoonful of water, start to heat the pot, take it out after boiling, rinse off the floating foam, wash the pot clean, put the pork fat in again, add water, and put a piece of chopped ginger in to cook together. After boiling over high heat, turn to medium heat and continue to simmer.

The oil was being refined in the pot. Xu Xu took the dough basin to scoop out the flour. He just scooped out two bowls of flour, thought for a while, and added some black flour and buckwheat flour to make the dough rise together.

There are still a lot of vegetables picked last night. I washed and chopped them, added salt and mixed them well. Then I went to the utility room and found the dried mushrooms that Xu's mother had dried. I took out a few and soaked them first, and then used the oil residue to mix the stuffing.

Thinking of Xu Tingting, I took out the millet porridge left over from the morning and heated it up when making the buns later. I’ll just have it for lunch today and steam some egg custard for my daughter in the evening.

The aroma of refined oil attracted several children to forget about the dog and look towards the kitchen. The twins were worried about their niece and dared not leave. Xu Qiwei did not have so many concerns and leaned on the kitchen door frame to take a deep breath: "Wow, it smells so good, what are you doing, mother?"

Xu Xu took Xu Qiwei out of the kitchen: "I'm refining oil, don't come in, the oil will be very hot when it explodes. I'll take out the oil residue for you to eat later."

Xu Qiwei drooled: "Can't I eat now?"

Xu Xu wiped his saliva with amusement and said, "Little greedy cat, it's not cooked yet. Go and accompany your sister first. You are not as obedient as your uncle. Look, your uncle wants to eat too, but he is still caring about your sister and doesn't leave. Go quickly, you will have food soon."

Xu Qiwei walked to the side of the cradle with embarrassment: "Sister, I'm sorry, I will remember you next time."

When the lard residue became smaller and clearer, Xu Xu took out the firewood from the stove and turned off the fire. He first scooped out the lard residue from the pot with a frying pan and placed it on the pot to filter the oil.

He turned around, took a wooden bowl from the cupboard, picked up a dozen pieces of oil residue, sprinkled some sugar on it, and brought it out to the three children: "Here are the oil residues. Be careful of the heat. Let them cool before eating."

The three of them said in unison: "Got it."

Xu Xu returned to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of chopped oil residue, cut the mushrooms into small pieces and put them in the bowl, squeezed the chopped cabbage dry, added a little salt and five-spice powder, a spoonful of lard, and some sesame oil, mixed it with the lard residue and mushrooms, perfect, open the package.

The buns Xu Xu makes are all small, about the size of two steamed dumplings. After making them, he counted them and found that he had made more than 50 of them, enough to eat for a day.

By this time, the oil in the pot had cooled down. Xu Xu took a clean oil can, put a handful of clean peppercorns in it first, and then poured the oil in the pot into the oil can. This not only increased the aroma of the lard, but also extended its shelf life. This full can of oil was enough for the family to eat for a while.

Looking at the greasy pot, Xu Xu felt reluctant to steam the buns in it, so he simply went out to pick two loofahs and small intestines to make soup, and then steam the buns.

For lunch, each of them had a bowl of loofah and rice noodle soup, and a choice of steamed buns, so the twins ate five each, and Xu Qiwei ate four, and they were full. Xu Xu saw that their stomachs were bulging, and the children wanted to get more.

I quickly stopped him, saying, "That's enough. You can't eat any more. You'll feel uncomfortable if you overeat. You can eat the rest in the evening. We should eat in moderation. No matter whether it tastes good or not, don't eat anymore when you're full. If you overeat, you'll damage your body and have to take bitter medicine."

When they heard that they had to take medicine, the children wanted to eat the buns but were afraid of the bitter medicine, so they retracted their hands and did not try to take them. They could only look at the buns reluctantly.

Xu Qiwei reluctantly emphasized: "I will eat more in the evening, the buns are delicious."

Xu Xu put away the buns and said, "Okay, we'll have buns tonight. Now go walk around the yard to help digest the food."

The twins took Xu Qiwei to the yard. Xu Xu fed the dog with the millet porridge left over by Xu Tiantian, washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, took a small bamboo basket, picked up 20 buns and covered them with white gauze, which would be taken to Xu Jizong's house later. He then found two cloth bags to fill with rice and soybeans, and tied up the pig lungs with a straw rope.

Xu Xu handed the bun to Xu Qiwei and asked him to hold it: "Weiwei, hold it tight. This is for my second grandfather. Don't drop it."

Xu Qiwei hugged the bamboo basket tightly with a serious expression.
