Chapter 585
Xiao Ran looked at the time and it was twelve o'clock noon. He used to eat at noon.
But it's not at this time in the countryside. Lunch is usually around two o'clock, after all, it's late in the morning.
Get up early and prepare pig food first. There is also cow food. Generally, after feeding pigs and cows, prepare human food, which is naturally a little later.
At night, livestock must be fed first, and eating is after eight o'clock.
The two little princesses had eaten once before, but they were not hungry, but Princess Gaoyang, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were indeed hungry, but Li Lizhi and the others were embarrassed to say it.
"Wait a minute to cook." Xiao Ran said.
"Hungry!" Grandma also heard it.
"Yeah!" Princess Gaoyang was a little embarrassed.
"Eat early in the morning, and I'm used to eating at twelve o'clock in the afternoon." Xiao Ran explained.
"Then eat quickly, eat some biscuits first." Grandpa also said.
Without a refrigerator, cakes and other things can't be kept for a few days, but biscuits can be kept for a few more days.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were competing to cook. When they saw a piece of black bacon, which was even a little moldy, they didn't know how to start.
"What is this?" Princess Yuzhang pointed.
"This is bacon!" Xiao Ran said.
"Ah? Can this be eaten? Isn't it bad?" Li Lizhi was also surprised.
"Yes~" The little princess holding the biscuits also came over to take a look.
"It can be eaten. This has only been stored for two and a half years. There was bacon that was stored for four years before. It was pickled with a lot of salt and smoked. It was hung in a relatively dry place. It won't go bad."
"Except that it's a little salty, it's actually good." Xiao Ran picked it up, "It needs to be burned first. There are still hairs on the skin that need to be dealt with."
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang didn't know what to do, so they could only watch Xiao Ran do it.
There is basically no separate kitchen in the countryside. Cooking can be done on the stove in the hall. This is basically the case.
The stove is mainly used for heating in winter and cooking at other times.
It's just that grandpa and grandma think that there is no need to heat in the summer, so there is no need to burn coal, just burn firewood, and extinguish it when there is no need to cook.
Make a fire to cook meat first, and boil water.
The room was full of smoke, and the princesses were all smoked away at once.
Xiao Ran was also smoked to tears.
It will take two days to get used to it. It was really unbearable at the beginning.
"Xiao Ran, let me do it!" Grandma couldn't bear to see Xiao Ran.
"Grandma, it's okay, you will get used to it. I haven't been smoked for a long time, I'm a little uncomfortable..." Xiao Ran wiped his tears with his arm.
Grandpa and grandma have bad teeth, so the skin has to be cut off.
After burning, the skin turns into an attractive golden color.
Xiao Ran tore off a piece to feed the little princess.
"This is good~"
It's chewy and tastes good.
Princess Gaoyang and the two little girls ate with relish.
The little princess took out most of the snacks and wanted to give them to grandpa and grandma.
The little princess felt that since grandpa and grandma gave biscuits, she should give some too, just to show her courtesy.
The two little girls sat on the doorstep and ate pig skin, and they integrated quickly.
There was a mark on the little princess' knee, which was left when she knelt on the ground while digging potatoes.
It has never been changed.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were not idle either, helping to wash vegetables.
Grandma looked at Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi and the other two and smiled happily.
It's hard not to like them because they are so beautiful, have good personalities and are diligent!
Grandpa went out for a while and came back with a big rooster, "They are hungry, and the chickens can only wait until the evening."
"Grandpa, don't do it." Xiao Ran had mixed feelings in his heart. Grandpa and grandma hadn't been back for a long time and didn't raise chickens. These should be bought from neighbors.
The chickens were killed to entertain important guests.
"I bought them all, let Xiao Mingda try them." Grandpa looked at the little princess dotingly.
This innocent and cute little girl is lovable.
"This is a local chicken, it's better than those chickens in the city, it's too late now, let's go tonight!" Grandma also said.
The more the old man said this, the more he felt bad.
His mood was very complicated.
In order to avoid some things and some people, Xiao Ran hasn't come back to see them for a long time.
If he didn't know that his grandparents were back in the village, Xiao Ran wouldn't be so sudden.
He only calls once in a long time, and basically won't take the initiative to contact if there is nothing.
Everyone says that this is emotional indifference, Xiao Ran himself doesn't know why it has become like this.
The reason why he didn't contact before was that his life was a mess and he had accomplished nothing. When the old man talked about starting a family and building a career, he was speechless.
He didn't know how to face it, and was even afraid that other people would talk about these problems.
He simply chose to escape.
Soon a few dishes were placed on the crooked small round table.
It was lively with more people.
The black bacon before,Now it looks very appetizing, with some dried chili and garlic sprouts, it is very fragrant.
The little princess can't wait.
Grandpa took out half a bottle of white wine, "Xiao Ran, do you want to drink some?"
Xiao Ran shook his head, "Grandpa, I don't want to drink anymore."
"There is beer. It was bought a long time ago. I don't know if it has gone bad... Oh, there is milk." Grandpa took out some milk.
"This is a bit old, will it expire?" Grandma also said.
Xiao Ran picked it up and looked at it, "Not yet!"
The little princess likes these things more.
"It's time to eat." Xiao Ran shouted.
The little princess picked up the tallest small wooden stool and sat next to her grandmother.
The wooden stools in the house are of different sizes and shapes, tall, short, fat and thin.
The tallest one is the most straight, and it is painted black.
Princess Chengyang also sat next to her grandmother.
The two little girls fell in love with someone else, and Xiao Ran was a little uncomfortable.
Li Lizhi was very happy and picked up a wooden stool and sat next to Xiao Ran.
The slightly dim room was very cozy.
The little princess held a small bowl, "Grandma~ I want seven and one~"
"Good!"
The little princess did not mess around in the bowl, and let the adults pick up the dishes, which increased her points in the eyes of the elderly.
"This is good." Grandma picked up a fat and thin one.
"Grandma, I want a fat one~ This is for sister seven~"
Li Lizhi smiled.
"This little girl is easy to take care of." Grandpa couldn't help but sigh again.
"Sister, this meat looks fat, but it's not greasy, you try it." Princess Yuzhang picked up a piece for Li Lizhi.
"This bacon is different from fresh meat, try it, if you can't eat it, give it to me." Xiao Ran looked at Li Lizhi.
"It's delicious."
Grandpa and grandma picked up meat for the two little princesses from time to time. This one is not greasy, and the little princesses can eat a lot.
"At the age of growing up, it's a blessing to be able to eat, and grow fast." Grandpa held the wine glass and took a sip gently.
"Grandma, I want soup~" The little princess pointed at the sour red bean soup.
"Pour it in a bowl, or drink the soup alone?" Grandma asked.
"Pour it in a bowl~"
The little girl likes to soak buckwheat rice in sour soup, which is the right way to eat it.
Both little princesses are like this.
"This phoenix tail vegetable and gray carving vegetable are better than cabbage." Princess Yuzhang also wants to plant more in the Tang Dynasty in the future.
