The rabbit leg in his hand exuded a fragrant aroma, but Cheng Qiao was reluctant to eat it. He put the rabbit leg into the space grocery store and returned to the dormitory.
She bolted the door and messed up her bed before entering the space. She didn't know how the betrothal gift was given in Xiangyang Village, but it must have been pork, rice, flour, cloth, and banknotes.
As for the four major items and the thirty-six legs and seventy-two legs, she didn't need to think about it. Li Huan simply didn't have the conditions, and she didn't need them either.
He took two pieces of meat from the butcher stall and a bag of flour and poured them into the grain bag, because there was no fine grain in the grain station at that time, let alone meat.
The only place to buy these things is the black market, but this place is too dangerous, so she had better prepare them first. As for the fabric, Cheng Qiao had a headache because there was no fabric in her space.
However, there are thick quilts, clothes, gloves, hats and so on in the warehouse, which can be sorted out and taken to the Li family as dowry. The biggest problem is how to get these things out.
After packing everything, Cheng Qiao saw a gas stove, a small gas tank, and an electric rice cooker in the space. She wanted to cook some food. She couldn't just eat meat buns and steamed buns all the time.
I opened a bag of rice, scooped a bowl of rice, washed it and put it into the rice cooker. When plugging it in, I felt a little nervous. Although the water heater had power, the plug of the water heater was still plugged in.
The rice cooker is different. After cooking, the plug is unplugged, and you don’t know whether there is electricity when it is plugged in again. But when she heard the "beep" sound, she just wanted to hug the rice cooker and kiss it.
I went to the meat stall again and picked up a few pieces of pork belly with more fat and less lean meat. People nowadays lack oil in their stomachs, so the fatter the meat, the better.
Cut the pork into pieces and prepare to make braised pork. Put the extra fatty pork fat aside and boil the lard. The lard residue can be used to stir-fry cabbage. Add more sauce and it will go well with rice.
The braised pork was still stewing in the pot. Cheng Qiao scooped up a grouper from the fish tank, cleaned it quickly, found a bottle of steamed fish soy sauce on the shelf, and some onions, ginger, garlic and cooking wine, and put them in the pot to steam.
After thinking about it, he took out some clams and eggs. You know, clam stew with eggs is extremely delicious. For a moment, the sound of beating eggs could be heard in the quiet grocery store.
After the aroma filled the entire grocery store, Cheng Qiao slowly served out the meat, brought the fish to the table, and also the delicious clam stew, which went directly into Cheng Qiao's mouth.
After a while, Cheng Qiao covered her protruding belly and lay contentedly on the four and a half foot bed. She fell asleep in the blink of an eye. When she woke up, she found herself still in the space. She was so scared that she quickly left the space.
In the educated youth center, the sun was still high in the sky. Cheng Qiao glanced at her watch and couldn't help but smile. She forgot that the time in the grocery store was still, so no matter how long she stayed in the store, it would not affect the time outside.
In this case, Cheng Qiao took advantage of the fact that there was no one at the educated youth point and entered the space again. Full of energy, she started to work as a cook. She tried everything she could do.
Seeing that there were more and more dishes, Cheng Qiao specially organized the shelves, moved all the goods that could be placed on the ground or stacked up off the shelves, and then put the dishes back one by one.
Such as Mapo tofu, spicy diced chicken, Dongpo pork elbow, crucian carp with fermented black beans, husband and wife lung slices, shredded pork with fish flavor, braised crab meat and lion head, and Dongpo pork.
There are also her favorite dishes, such as braised pork with pickled vegetables, stuffed eggplant, pork with preserved vegetables, salted chicken, red trough spare ribs, steamed spare ribs with fermented black beans, drunken spare ribs, fried crispy double crisps, and clear-boiled whole chicken.
I also specially made more than a dozen plates of fried rice, leek dumplings, fried dumplings and scallion pancakes, and even boiled a large pot of eggs as a backup in case time is urgent.
Looking at the full shelves of dishes, Cheng Qiao suddenly had an idea. If the items in the grocery store can be automatically replenished, then would the dishes she cooked also be automatically replenished
I took a plate of braised pork with preserved vegetables out of the space, then returned empty-handed. The vacated space was still empty. It seems that items that are not originally in the space will not be automatically filled.
After putting the pork with preserved vegetables back to its original place, Cheng Qiao left the space, returned to the educated youth point, and applied medicine to her ankle. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her foot didn't hurt much anymore, and even the swelling had subsided a lot.
With nothing to do, Cheng Qiao opened her closet door and began to sort out her clothes. As a bride, she always had to dress festively and wear red and green on her wedding day.
She guessed that Li Huan's wedding day should be after the autumn harvest, when everyone had paid their public grain taxes and had distributed money and grain. This would be a good day for the wedding.
But this is the north, and the weather will turn cold in half a month, so she still needs to prepare a thin jacket. She has a thin jacket with a red base and dark blue floral patterns, which is 90% new and just right for her to wear.
I also found a pair of dark blue pants to match with this thin jacket, and added cotton leather shoes, and then tied my hair up. It was perfect.
He folded the clothes carefully, took out the cotton-padded shoes, wiped them clean, and put them directly into the space. He looked at his watch again. In more than an hour, it would be almost time for the educated youth to get off work.
He hurried to the kitchen, scooped up a large bowl of sorghum flour, added a little white flour, added some yeast and kneaded it into a dough, preparing to make a sorghum flour dumpling to eat. He hadn't turned on the fire to cook at noon, and if he didn't cook in the evening, someone would get suspicious.
He picked up some firewood, brushed the big pot with water, added clean water, cut the kneaded sorghum dough into small pieces, put them into the pot, cooked them, then took them out and let them cool.
He went to the private plot of the educated youth site, picked a few scallions, washed them and cut them into small pieces. He glanced at his oil bottle and saw that there was still a finger's thickness of oil left, so he poured it all into the pot.
When the oil is hot, pour in the scallions and stir-fry. Add salt and minced garlic, stir-fry until cooked, then serve. Let it cool thoroughly and mix it with the sorghum dough. Find some vinegar and take some chicken essence and light soy sauce from the space to mix together.
Cheng Qiao took a bite and shook her head slightly. It was a pity that there was no sesame oil or chili sauce at the educated youth camp. Otherwise, it would have tasted better with a few drops of sesame oil or a layer of chili sauce.
Zhang Yuefang returned to the educated youth site early. The educated youth took turns cooking, and it was her turn to cook dinner today. As soon as she entered the site, she smelled the fragrance of green onions and saw Cheng Qiao holding a large bowl of sorghum dough. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"Cheng Qiao, you are amazing. You cooked the sorghum noodles into flowers."
"Sister Yuefang, come and have a taste."
Zhang Yuefang quickly took out her bowl and chopsticks, picked up a few pieces and put them in her bowl and started eating: "Well, there is a little less chili sauce. I have some in the cupboard. I'll get you some."
Zhang Yuefang opened the cabinet door, took out a jar of cooked chili sauce, opened the lid of the jar, and a layer of chili oil floated on top, which instantly whetted Cheng Qiao's appetite.
