Chapter 238 The rice cooker enters the village, please drink porridge
Liu Chen was eating at the Eight Immortals table, and Duan Yumei and her three children also came over to eat.
The children hadn't eaten much all day long from morning to night, and were already so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs. When they saw the food on the table, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
It was a meat dish, braised eels. Although his family caught eels every day, their parents told them that they could exchange them for money, but they couldn't eat them. Even if they did, they would only eat small ones that couldn't be exchanged for money before roasting them.
Eat it or make soup for drinking. Braised in braised sauce is not possible, so you don’t need oil?
Pork can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Normally, you don't even think about it. On the one hand, you don't have money, and you don't have meat tickets.
White rice is even more impossible. At most, you can use some rice to make porridge, the kind that can look like a mirror. If the children really want to eat it, Duan Yumei will make sweet potato rice and multi-grain rice for the children.
Rice is something this family has never dared to hope for.
But right now, what is in front of me is white rice, braised eel, stewed pork vermicelli, and scrambled eggs with green peppers. Not to mention that it is not the right time to eat these dishes, it is impossible to eat them so well even during the Chinese New Year.
Although Liu Jinlong came back to life, he will not be able to catch eels for a while. It will take at least two or three weeks. By then, most of the eels will probably be caught.
Duan Yumei looked at the table full of food. Although she kept swallowing her saliva, she was an adult after all and was in a bad mood, so she still didn't eat much.
The children are different. After all, they are still young and don't think so much. They pick up the bowl, pick up the kuaizi, and start gobbling it up.
As the saying goes, a child who is half-grown will be poor. Before Liu Chen finished a bowl of rice, the children had eaten three large bowls and kept shouting: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious."
."
Seeing the children eating quickly, after all, they were very hungry and could not eat so much or eat so fast. Liu Chen told them several times to eat slowly, but no one listened and still wolfed down the food.
.
After a while, the rice bottomed out and the vegetables were cooked cleanly. Liu Xiaotian took the pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, poured boiling water in, stirred it with a kuai, and drank it in a slurp.
There are all oil flowers in here, so we can’t waste it.
Jin Long's second son Liu Xiaolong saw his brother pour boiling water and drink it. He also poured boiling water on the plate with green peppers and eggs, stirred it and drank it. His youngest daughter Liu Xiaomei also followed suit.
No one said anything. After all, in this era, frugality is a virtue and waste is shameful.
Liu Chen simply pulled out a bowl of rice, and the porridge in the rice cooker was also ready.
Liu Chen opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of porridge filled his nostrils.
"Oh my god, this porridge is cooked so fast."
"It's amazing how you can cook a meal without using any firewood."
Everyone was talking about it as if they were looking at a rare treasure.
Liu Chen brought a spoon, scooped out the porridge, poured it into a bowl, stirred it a few times with a small bamboo spoon, and brought it to Liu Jinlong's side.
Duan Yumei took the rice porridge and her eyes almost popped out of her head. This pot was so powerful. The porridge was automatically cooked in just one meal without using any firewood. It was so convenient.
The rice cooker Liu Chen brought was relatively large, because several sisters came to eat together, a family of more than ten people, so the one Liu Chen bought was also quite large. The one he brought was 10L, which was brought by his family in the county.
It's 5L.
For such a big rice cooker, even though it only holds half of the pot, it's still a lot.
"Who else wants porridge?"
As soon as Liu Chen finished speaking, a large group of children clamored for something to drink.
Liu Chen also didn't expect that everyone had finished their meal after ordering this. Didn't they feel full?
That's right, in this day and age, how can so many families have enough to eat? Not to mention the children, there are many adults who also want to drink, but they are too embarrassed to say it out of shame.
Anyway, it's just a little porridge, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, I brought a lot of rice this time, so it doesn't matter. If it's not enough to drink, I'll cook it again. Anyway, as long as someone is driving, the porridge will be enough.
Liu Chen brought some bowls and placed them on the Eight Immortals' table. The table had already been cleaned by Youdi.
Liu Chen asked everyone to line up and serve porridge one by one.
When Huzi got tired of pedaling, Liu Jiangang pedaled again.
Soon, most of the pot of porridge was distributed, and there were some children behind who hadn't drank yet. They all had their mouths open and looked unhappy.
Liu Chen looked at the children in the back who were eagerly looking at the rice cooker, and said, "Oh, let's cook another pot."
Liu Chen asked Huzi to go to the kitchen, wash some more rice, add water, plug in the electricity, and start cooking.
"Everyone present will have a share." Liu Chen said with a smile.
The child who was not in line just now was so excited that he shouted with a smile.
There were also some adults who wanted to drink but were not embarrassed. When Liu Chen said that everyone had a share, they felt very happy and were anxiously waiting to get a piece of the pie.
At this time, the whole yard was boiling. This pot is great and does not require firewood. This is very convenient.
Many people gathered around the rice cooker, watching how the porridge was cooked.
"Everyone, stay away, don't get burned."
When everyone heard Liu Chen's words, they all moved back, but they were still not far from the rice cooker, staring intently at it.
Liu Jinlong also drank two large bowls of porridge here, and Liu Chen felt that he was almost done. After all, he couldn't eat too full and had to take his time.
Although Liu Jinlong is feeling better now, he still needs to take care of himself during this period.
Let's send Liu Jinlong home to rest first. Huzi is carrying Liu Jinlong on his back, Liu Chen is shining in front with a flashlight, and Duan Yumei and the three children are following closely behind.
After sending Liu Jinlong home to rest, they returned.
"Uncle, can you watch TV now?"
Wu Yiyi ran up to Liu Chen and looked at him eagerly.
Not only Wu Yiyi, but everyone present was waiting to watch TV. Liu Jinlong was watching TV just now. Now that he is fine and has gone home to rest, everyone can watch it.
"Okay, I'll turn on the TV for you."
I plugged it in and turned on the TV. The TV flashed a few snowflakes, and Huzi pulled the antenna again. Soon, the TV started playing.
Everyone hurriedly brought high chairs and low benches, and some sat directly on the floor. Anyway, as long as it was a good location, it was fine. There were no benches, so they randomly found half a brick, a thick branch, and some just took off their shoes and sat on them.
While everyone was watching TV, they looked at the porridge in the rice cooker from time to time.
They feel really happy at this moment, with TV to watch and rice porridge to drink.
The fatigue of a day's work during the day suddenly disappeared.
"Brother Chen, is this porridge ready?" Liu Jiangang shouted while pedaling the car.
Liu Chen took a spoon and stirred it again. This porridge just needs to be cooked for a while to taste better. It's okay to eat it now. It just needs to be cooked more to taste better.
"Jiangang, thank you for your hard work. You drink first when the time comes."
"That's right. If I pedal, you won't have to drink. I'll have to drink two bowls."
Liu Chen looked at Liu Jiangang. Of course, this worker must be treated with special care. He smiled and replied: "Okay, you drink two bowls, two big bowls."
When Li Jiangang heard Liu Chen say that he could drink two large bowls, he pedaled hard with excitement, just like pedaling a bicycle.
After a while, the aroma of porridge spread everywhere, and all the members present sniffed. It smelled so good. Many of them had not eaten much for dinner, and some had eaten early. They were all hungry by now.
"Okay, the porridge is ready."
Liu Chen unplugged the latch, took a spoon and a bowl, and filled a large bowl: "Jiangang, I'll leave your porridge here to cool down for you to drink later."
"No, I'm not afraid of the heat. I'm going to drink now. Brother, come and kick for a while. I'm going to drink the rice porridge first." After Liu Jiangang finished speaking, he came down directly.
I saw that the TV and lights flickered a little. After Liu Jianguo went up, the TV and lights returned to normal.
Liu Jiangang was carrying a big bowl of porridge, his mouth watered as he took the Shuang Kuaizi, and he sniffed, it was so delicious.
I didn't eat enough tonight, and I was really hungry after pedaling for such a long time just now.
This is purely rice porridge, and their family doesn’t drink much. Every time they cook porridge, they always put some sweet potatoes and chopped corn in it to make their throats ache. It’s not as delicious as this rice porridge.
I stirred it casually a few times with the tachyon, and then pushed it into my mouth with the tachyon. Oh my god, it was so hot. Even though it was very hot and my tongue was stirring, I couldn't bear to spit it out. At this time, Liu Jiangang's mouth
, my tongue was very hot and my throat was very hot. I swallowed hard and after finishing this mouthful, my mouth immediately opened.
"Slow down, kid, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Liu Chen looked at Liu Jiangang and said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the second bowl, and I'm afraid you'll finish it for me."
"Look at your potential."
"Snapped"
At some point, Captain Liu came from behind Liu Jiangang and hit him on the head with his pipe pole.
"Ha ha."
"Abba, what are you doing? Why are you hitting me?"
Liu Jiangang turned around and said with wide eyes.
Captain Liu came out of the hut and walked into the yard. He heard what kind of rice cooker Liu Chen was using to cook rice porridge. He had never heard of or seen this rice cooker.
What’s more, this is a good thing. You don’t need to reduce the heat, you can cook cooked rice with just a little bit, and the cooked rice is quite delicious.
He could smell the aroma of the rice just now. It was too fragrant.
Just now I heard Liu Dawa say that all the members in the yard had a share, so I would like to have a bowl later to taste the taste of porridge cooked without burning a fire.
"Gulu" Captain Liu's stomach rang.
Not to mention, I'm really hungry. I'm mainly worried about Liu Jinlong's affairs tonight, so I haven't eaten much yet? I'm really hungry now.
"Wow, it's so delicious. Do you have any more? I'll serve the second bowl." Liu Jiangang finished one bowl and ran to the rice cooker with the bowl in hand.
"Jiangang, don't eat it. Give me the bowl and I'll fill it up with a bowl." Captain Liu grabbed his son Liu Jiangang's bowl and walked to Liu Chen's side.
"Abba, what are you doing? Brother Chen said I have another bowl, and I haven't eaten it yet."
"Eating one bowl is not enough. Eat less and leave some for everyone."
After Captain Liu finished speaking, he took the spoon from Liu Chen's hand and filled a bowl, and then took the kuaizi from Liu Jiangang's hand.
Chapter completed!
