After making arrangements for the king, the seventh cousin went around to see his new stove.
The new stove was built exactly according to his requirements, using the red bricks and cement left over from the last time he built the pigpen and doghouse.
Although there is only a shed in the yard, to be honest, a quarter of the entire yard is occupied by this "kitchen".
There was a neatly stacked pile of firewood and a large bag of pine needles for starting a fire against the courtyard wall.
Directly in front of the pile of firewood was a table top with bricks underneath and thick wooden boards on top, on which my seventh cousin's various seasoning jars and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were placed.
Next to it is a big iron pot.
It has probably been used for many years and has become shiny and glossy. Its diameter alone is 72 centimeters.
How big is this
Let's just say that a pot with a diameter of 30 cm is enough for a family of four to cook. What's more, the area of the pot is like the size of a pizza, so it is easy to cook for dozens of people.
The one next to it is the same size.
In the middle of the two pots, there is a large iron can built into the stove with a lid on it.
From now on, fill this pot with water before lighting a fire. When the rice is cooked, the water will almost boil. It is very convenient whether you need to wash dishes or pots, or scald something.
According to Uncle Qi, having a water heater is a good thing, but you have to burn fire anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you spend a few more bricks to build a water pot!
Okay!
He has the seniority and is also a chef, and his request is so reasonable. The family is counting on him to take good care of Qiao Qiao, so naturally he says whatever he wants.
Even so, my seventh cousin was still not satisfied. He didn't dare put many of his treasured items outside, but stuffed them directly into the cabinet.
"Sancheng, it's not that I don't want to give you good things, it's just that if they are left out in the open air, no matter how well they are preserved, they will inevitably get damp and hot, and will easily deteriorate."
"This stove can be used in spring, summer and autumn, but not in winter. You have to find a way to expand the kitchen before winter."
That was all in the beginning of winter. It is only the beginning of spring now. Song Sancheng is full of confidence:
"Okay, uncle, don't worry. I'll renovate the whole yard when I have time."
Let's just deal with it like this for now. How can we eat a fat man all at once
Looking at the time again, I didn’t have to dig bamboo shoots this morning, so I went to the vegetable market early.
Look, Song Tan is back, and it’s only a little past ten o’clock now.
The tea pickers don't finish work until twelve o'clock, and with the speed at which my seventh cousin cooks, he is not in a hurry at all.
He then waved his hand and said, "Qiao Qiao, come over here and help your uncle."
Qiao Qiao was holding the brand new tablet in her hands, and was reluctant to look away, but Song Tan took the tablet away without hesitation:
"If Qiao Qiao wants to watch Ultraman, he has to earn a good salary, after all, tablets are very expensive."
"From now on, you will follow your seventh cousin for three meals a day. You will do whatever he asks you to do. When you are done, you can come to me to get the tablet and play with it as you like."
"Is this okay?"
Qiao Qiao was a little confused: "Just cooking?"
Song Tan thought about it, then turned around and asked Uncle Seven, "Uncle Seven, will your cooking method work if it is broadcast live?"
Uncle Seven snorted and laughed: "What's so secretive about home cooking? There are so many recipes on Vibrato, in bookstores, and in the little green books you young people play with. You can play whatever you want."
Grandma Qi exposed him immediately: "He knows how to cook home-cooked dishes, including many fresh dishes. He watched the show "Cooking in the Kitchen" at home and learned a few tricks."
The seventh cousin was exposed, and now he snorted, "What do you mean by learned two tricks? My method is more efficient. This means I need to read more and learn more."
Then he hurriedly changed the subject:
"You young people just love to do these fancy things. Just take pictures if you want. I won't hide anything, but not everyone has this ability."
That is true.
Otherwise, with so many recipes, why are some people chefs and some people only know how to cook hot pot
Song Tan suppressed his laughter and said to Qiao Qiao:
"You can also open your Qiao Qiao Classroom while cooking. You can be the teacher and talk to all the students on their phones."
Since live streaming is popular, let’s save up some of it. There’s nothing to sell recently, so it’s okay to maintain the popularity for now.
Talking about my own class, although I cannot see the students’ feedback, but when we are playing house, there is no student feedback, and the children still have a lot of fun.
Qiao Qiao has this mentality.
At this moment, he quickly moved a small stool and sat next to his seventh cousin. He slowly set up the mobile phone stand, and then fiddled with it awkwardly.
The seventh cousin was not in a hurry. Instead, he took out the pears that Song Tan had just bought that morning and took out a peeling knife from his box:
"Can you peel this pound of pears?"
Peeling
Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the live broadcast room that had just been set up, and nodded: "I will."
Song Tan adjusted the phone to within the range of his hand, and Qiao Qiao sat on a small stool with a stainless steel basin in front of him. He picked up a knife and began to peel slowly.
This really takes a lot of hard work. After all, the ground pear is not even as big as a ping-pong ball, and it is oblate in shape, with many bumps and holes, and looks quite unruly.
A knife can only peel the skin slowly, bit by bit.
Fortunately, what he lacks the least is patience. He faced the camera without saying a word for more than ten minutes and actually carved out several pieces.
The audience in the live broadcast room came from all over the world, and as expected, they all yawned.
After watching two live broadcasts, they already know the host's style.
Either he talks to himself or he says nothing. In any case, he will never pay any attention to the audience.
In other live broadcast rooms, people are calling out for the number one on the list or calling him baby or big brother, but here, there is really nothing.
But the more it was like this, the more everyone felt that it was magical. At this moment, the camera saw a pair of white and slender hands holding a cold and shining knife and slowly peeling the dark brown ground pears...
Don't mention it, it's really boring.
But I just can't bring myself to quit.
At the beginning, there were comments saying: "Be careful not to cut your hands."
Before long, the comments became fewer and fewer, and the last person spoke five minutes ago.
"I feel sleepy."
In fact, there are still a lot of things that I haven’t typed out yet—
In other words, can you give me advance notice next time you go live? Don't go live out of the blue. Either set a reminder on your phone or try your luck.
Can we not do the live broadcast during the day and choose one at night? That way I can fall asleep, how sweet it would be.
Now, everyone is struggling to stay at their jobs. Another old man's voice came out from the live broadcast room -
"Do you know what this is?"
The one who spoke was my seventh cousin.
There was not a word said in Qiao Qiao's live broadcast room. He was old and didn't quite understand what was said, so he quickly ignored it.
However, the child is silly, but his attitude is very down-to-earth.
