Chapter 891 Poisonous Girlfriend 25
Work like that of old pickled cabbage lumps is done by women.
The original owner had helped Shen Xiatian pick up the pickled cabbage lumps. Now it was her turn to cook, so she didn't need to pick them up anymore. Therefore, the original owner didn't ask Yu Hegui to do it.
Now, Yuanchun has arrived, and of course she doesn't want to go into the ice water to fish out some cabbage lumps.
She fried the cabbage and mixed it with cornmeal, boiled a pot of hot water, and steamed a pot of cornmeal cakes. Later, when everyone went to the mountain to chop firewood, everyone would take a cake with them for lunch.
After Yuanchun finished making the last pancake and covered the pot, she said to Yu Hegui, "Yu Hegui, I'm afraid of the cold and don't want to pick up the pickled cabbage. You go ahead and pick it up."
Why is it that picking up pickled cabbage is a job that only women do, and men can't do it?
This is all the heroine's twisted logic.
She is also a woman, why doesn't she go and fish it out, but instead coaxes the original owner to help her?
Her hands are precious and afraid of cold.
The original owner's hands were made of iron, so he wasn't afraid of the cold?
Yu Hegui nodded, "You light the fire and warm yourself up, I'll take care of the rest."
"Can you cut pickles into shreds?"
"Yes, I can. My family is from Shu City."
"People in Shu City like spicy food."
"Ah."
Yu Hegui went out in silence.
Yuanchun sat behind the stove and warmed herself by the fire. The mornings in the Northeast in late October were extremely cold, even colder than December in Shanghai. However, this was not Yuanchun's first time traveling to the Northeast. She could adapt to the cold here, but her body could not stand the dry cold here.
"Sister Yuanchun, is there any hot water?"
At this time, Shen Xiatian came in with a gourd ladle and looked at her eagerly.
When the educated youth cooked, they would clean the pot and keep a pot of hot water for everyone after finishing the meal.
First of all, it doesn’t waste time.
Secondly, it saves firewood. After cooking, if you add another handful of unburned firewood to the stove, it will be enough to warm a pot of water.
Yuanchun looked at her expressionlessly, "Just look at the water in the pot over there and see if it's hot. Then scoop it out yourself."
"Sister Yuanchun, can you…can you lend me the wash basin for a while? Just for a while. I'll go to the carpenter in the village and buy a new one after dinner."
"No, I'm a germaphobe now and I don't like others using my things. If you want to use the wash basin, you can go to the carpenter's house and buy one. It's not far away."
"It's... it's too early now, I..."
"The villagers got up early, so the carpenter's family must have gotten up long ago."
"Then... that's fine."
Shen Xiatian went out feeling aggrieved.
When everyone was having dinner, she came back with a smile on her face. Jiang Qin, who followed her, was holding a small wooden basin in his hand.
Li Yujie couldn't help but sneered, "Oh, you finally bought a basin. I thought you always had to wash your face and fart... um..."
"Sister Chen Hong, why are you covering my mouth?"
Chen Hong said helplessly, "There are a group of grown men here. Do they think they can listen to what you said?"
Li Yujie blushed, "I wasn't the one who did that, I..."
"Okay, stop talking and eat quickly. After you're done, let's go up the mountain to chop wood and pick mushrooms."
"I want to sleep in separate rooms, and I need to chop more wood."
Li Yujie didn't care to laugh at Shen Xiatian anymore, she picked up the bowl and ate, "Kong Yuanchun, why is the cabbage you fried so delicious today?"
"If I can have dried chili peppers and minced garlic, the stir-fried Chinese cabbage will taste better."
"Why weren't your cooking so delicious before, Kong Yuanchun? You must be keeping it to yourself."
