Chapter 245 "The God of Cookery"
Lin Chunyi was truly stunned to see a perfectly good pot of colorful things turn into a pot of bright red.
She thought her younger sister was a real treasure! Every time she thought she knew enough about her, she would always discover something even more amazing the next time, showing that she knew far too little.
"How can you not eat chili peppers? It has no flavor at all!" Lin Lanshan was even more confident this time. After saying that, she felt that the flavor was not enough, so she added another small spoonful of chili sauce to the pot.
No, who adds chili sauce to their porridge?
I've only ever had savory congee, but I've never heard of spicy congee... This is really absurd.
Now the porridge in the iron pot turned red, completely red.
This chaotic mess made Lin Chunyi swallow hard, unsure how to describe it.
Well, even though it looks like a complete mess, the chili sauce does smell really good...
And since it was all already done, what could Lin Chunyi do? She could only go back and sit and watch the fire.
Let her do whatever she wants.
Anyway, it's the two of them who end up eating it, so it won't poison any outsiders, right?
The two men, one watching the stove and the other the pot, stirred the pot several times until it finally started to bubble vigorously.
Then reduce the amount of firewood and continue to simmer slowly.
Salty pork congee is best when it's sticky and thick!
After a while, the aroma of rice, oil, and chili peppers became very strong.
Lin Lanshan used a large iron ladle to scoop out diced potatoes and sweet potatoes and pressed them against the side of the pot.
Yes, it's crushed into tiny pieces and thoroughly cooked.
The rice grains had long since become sticky and indistinguishable.
She quickly told her sister to remove the firewood, then added some salt and chopped green onions to the pot, stirring it like she was mixing pig feed—stirring it again and again.
Scrape the rice off the edge of the wok, and there you have it, a pot of salty pork congee is ready!
As usual, after each person scooped up a large bowl, the rest was put into a soup bowl while it was still hot and placed into the space.
The two sisters, each holding a large bowl, sat down in the main room. They scooped out a spoonful, blew on it to cool it, and then tentatively sipped a little.
The savory aroma of cured pork fat and the spicy flavor of chili sauce seeped into my mouth.
Lin Lanshan licked her lips, squinted her eyes, and smacked her lips again... Salty and spicy cured pork porridge, what a heavenly taste!
She puffed out her cheeks and blew hard on the rice in the spoon a few times, then eagerly stuffed half a spoonful into her mouth.
One bite and you get a taste of sticky, salty, and spicy rice, fragrant cured meat, chewy dried mushrooms, and slightly sweet sweet potato chunks.
She proved here that congee with chili sauce is definitely not a culinary disaster!
"Sister, I suspect I might have been a food god in my past life!" After taking a bite of this homemade mixed congee, Lin Lanshan's confidence soared, and she even felt like she was floating on air.
How can such a simple combination taste so delicious!
"Mmm~ You're the God of Cookery." Lin Chunyi stirred the porridge in her bowl and casually agreed.
What she really wanted to say was: If you cook three meals a day for me, and they're all this delicious, then you're not just a food god, you're my god!
I've been down the mountain these past few days, and I've eaten all sorts of delicious food.
But once I got home, I realized that being able to smell the cooking oil in the kitchen and on my clothes, and eating the simplest porridge, was far more comfortable and reassuring than eating any delicacies outside.
"Hahahaha..." (A very long burst of Lin Lanshan's laughter is omitted here.)
Lin Chunyi couldn't refute the fact that the porridge was indeed delicious, so she endured the nagging and silently ate her meal, ignoring her sister's erratic behavior.
The more she talks, the more excited she gets, and she just won't stop!
After each of them finished a large bowl of porridge, they let out a satisfied burp and then felt a little sleepy.
After cleaning up the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, the two changed the hay for Peach and Reunion's smelly nest, gave them a nice bath, and then hurried back to their nest.
The work of digesting the food is almost done.
The newly filled bath tub hasn't been cleaned or aired out to remove the odor, so it can't be used directly.
They used the old wooden tubs to pour water, took a hot bath, and changed into their pajamas.
I took a comfortable afternoon nap in my own bed.
I slept for quite a long time this time.
When you close your eyes and open them again, it gets so dark that you can't see where anyone's mouth or eyes are.
Xu Shi.
Lin Lanshan was woken up by the urge to urinate. She sat up, yawned, and mumbled sleepily, "I thought I was going blind."
She groped her way out of bed, blew on a tinderbox, and then lit an oil lamp on the table.
The room instantly went from complete darkness to a flickering, dim yellow light.
"Are you hungry? It's so late, let's skip cooking and just eat the leftover porridge from lunch." Lin Chunyi got out of bed and put her feet into her shoes, saying as she walked.
She thought her younger sister's culinary skills hadn't worn off yet and she wanted to go back to the kitchen to show off her amazing culinary skills again.
"..." Lin Lanshan held the oil lamp in her hand and slowly turned around to look at her.
Behind the dim light, Lin Lanshan sighed, her face expressionless. "You're overthinking it. The kitchen isn't a place I should linger; the outhouse is."
Moreover, her God of Cookery skill has a cooldown! She can't use it consecutively.
As he spoke, he opened the door, went out, and then closed the door behind him.
"Oh~" So this is your reason for taking away the only light?
Without the oil lamp, Lin Chunyi was plunged into complete darkness in the bedroom once again.
Fortunately, they had already adapted to the environment here, especially since it gets so dark at night.
She wasn't fully awake yet, her eyes were glazed over for a while before she rubbed her cheeks, took out a candle from her spatial storage, and lit it in the room.
Then I sat at the table, propped my face up with my hand, and started to doze off.
When Lin Lanshan returned, the two of them ate half a bowl of porridge from lunch, which was a half-full supper, and then began rummaging through the carriage in the inner courtyard.
Actually, we can clean up tomorrow, but they just ate some spicy porridge and aren't very sleepy anymore. So let's take out the things that are easily crushed or spoiled first.
After taking the basket off the wooden bed, Lin Lanshan climbed to the innermost part and passed out the things piled between the bathtub and the gap in the carriage.
Lin Chunyi stood in front of the carriage, picked it up, and put it into the large bamboo basket on the ground.
Lin Lanshan touched something, looked at it in front of her eyes, and said in surprise:
"Sister! Kids have such good memories! Look, even things we can't remember, Ashu has remembered and kept them all." Then she picked up the small bamboo basket and handed them out.
The loofah sponges, soapberries, and bamboo fruit trays they wanted were all in the basket.
This small bamboo basket is like a Russian nesting doll, with a medium-sized basket inside, then a large basket inside, and finally an extra-large basket...
Ashu went to great lengths to get them more bamboo baskets.
The small kang table was also there, standing upright against the side.
Actually, if they hadn't seen these things now, neither of them would have thought of taking them at all.
I'm so ashamed, so ashamed!
