Chapter 73: Showcasing Cooking Skills
73
The next morning, before dawn, Mo Huihui got up to prepare breakfast and brought it to the fields for food at noon. Because the fields were far away and some fields were still on the mountain, it wasted time back and forth, and many people brought dry food and water to eat in the fields, saving back and forth time.
When Mo Xiaomi woke up, her mother and grandpa had already eaten their fill.
There were two white steamed buns, a few pieces of bacon and a plate of vegetables on the table. This was Mo Xiaomi’s breakfast, and the lunch was the desserts such as peach crisps, sugar triangles, etc. that my grandfather bought.
Today Mo Xiaomi is going to show her cooking skills to her family. She wants to think about what dishes to cook at noon!
After dinner, Mo Xiaomi went to wash her clothes first.
When we arrived by the river, most of the people who were washing clothes were girls at home. Because adults had gone to the floor, they had no time to wash clothes, so they let the children wash them.
Mo Xiaomei was also there, and saw Mo Xiaomi recruiting and said, "Xiaomi, here! You came a little late today, I'll finish washing soon."
"Haha, I don't have much clothes and I can finish it soon." Mo Xiaomi was washing clothes while talking.
Because we are busy, everyone has no time to chat.
After washing the clothes, I said goodbye to Mo Xiaomei, and after returning home, I carefully prepared the meal.
After drying clothes, Mo Xiaomi took a small basket and went to the vegetable garden on the right side of the yard. Because the surrounding area of their house was empty, the nearest neighbor Aunt Li was still 30 meters away, so there was enough space to open a vegetable garden next to the house.
Cucumbers, beans, green beans, tomatoes, peppers, amaranth, small vegetables, and small melons, but there are no melons yet.
Mo Xiaomi picked two tomatoes and a handful of leeks.
There is no coal ball stove or gas stove at home, only a large earth stove, but this is not a problem.
After choosing leeks, wash them and dry them.
Seeing that it was still early, it was too early to cook, so she took the broom, cleaned inside and out, and wiped it everywhere with a rag. Some places were a little high, so she stood on the bench. In short, she did her best to help her mother.
Look at the old swing clock at home that has ringed eleven times, it is already eleven o'clock.
Mo Xiaomi knead the noodles, put them aside to wake up the noodles, and then start making the filling, cut the leeks, soak the vermicelli, and prepare to make the vermicelli box.
Mo Xiaomi cleaned the clay pots containing rice at home and placed them outside to expose the sun to sterilize them.
After the dough is awake, start to pinch it into small doughs, then roll it into dough pieces with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters, then put the prepared leek vermicelli filling on the dough pieces, then close the top slices and press them hard to form a half-moon-shaped leek box.
Mo Xiaomi rolled out sixteen dough pieces and could make sixteen leek boxes.
Mo Xiaomi started to set the fire. The straw fire was very small. When the pot was hot, he put five leek boxes in it. While Mo Xiaomi was turning over the leek boxes in the pot, he continued the straw at the bottom of the pot. In just fifteen minutes, he prepared the leek boxes and placed them all in a basket with a clean cage cloth and covered it with a cage cloth.
Mo Xiaomi then cooked tomato and egg flower soup in a small pot next to it, then put it in a ceramic jar that had been exposed to the sun, covered it with a lid, stuck two bowls on it, and tied a rope to the ears and noses on both sides of the jar.
So Mo Xiaomi held a stick, and there was a bamboo basket containing a box of vermicelli in front of it, and the freshly roasted tomato and egg flower soup was hung in the back.
