Chapter 478 Pea, Sausage and Brown Rice Porridge

"No?" Su Ziling muttered, "If not, then why is he acting weird tonight?"

Mother Su said without changing her expression: "Maybe I drank too much and got confused."

"Really? It seems like you don't smell alcohol either?"

Mother Su coughed lightly, "What about that? Is the water in the pot boiling? If it's not boiling, add some more firewood. Take these and blanch them. I'll cut these two."

As she said this, she looked at Su Zizhong and Twenty-one who were standing aside, "You two should go back to the house and go to sleep. Don't peel these ones, and save them for frying and eating tomorrow."

Su Ziling was busy blanching the bamboo shoots, and what happened just now was forgotten by her.

In the dim room, the orange light was blown swaying by the wind. Mother Su stretched out her hand to block the wind, "Is this okay?"

"Well, it's almost done. Mom, help me bring a bucket of cold water in. I need to soak the bamboo shoots in the cold water and take them out to dry when the sun comes out tomorrow."

Su Ziling was fishing for bamboo shoots with a colander. When she saw that there was not enough cold water in the big basin, she said to Su's mother.

It was already night after the mother and daughter finished their work. They sat by the fire pit and ate the peas that Su's father had roasted just now.

The pea shells were burnt black, but the peas inside only had a layer of tiger skin.

When you take it into your mouth, it's full of juice, just like what Su's father said, it's sweet.

"The peas are so sweet this year!"

"It's indeed sweeter than in previous years. Tomorrow you go to pick up the two cows and buy some big bones. Make a bone soup and throw a handful of peas into it. That one is delicious. It's so sweet and pink and dusty."

"Okay, if you want more, buy two more."

The mother and daughter were chatting while eating. When they looked up, they found that the other party's mouth was black from eating, as if he had a mustache.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Thinking that it was night, they quickly covered their mouths, but their shoulders were already shaking like sieves.

The two of them washed their faces before going back to the house to sleep.

There is no need for an oil lamp once you step outside. The silver moonlight shrouds the sky over the small mountain village, illuminating the small courtyard.

"Go back to the house and sleep quickly. We have to go to the county to pick up the two cows tomorrow."

Mother Su stood at the door and watched Su Ziling enter the house before turning around and going back to the house.

Su Ziling's eyes closed as soon as she lay down, and her mind was spinning very fast. More than half of December has passed in the blink of an eye. The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. She needs to buy some polished rice and glutinous rice tomorrow to make bait. , dada hammer, and glutinous rice cake.

If you want to buy New Year's goods, you can buy them later. There are still a few days before the restaurants close, so you can buy them back together then.

She was thinking about what to do next, her nose was filled with the smell of sunshine. This quilt was newly made this year.

It is made of new cotton and has been exposed to the sun during the day. It feels warm when it is covered with it and smells great.

Every time he breathed in and out, the smell seemed to be hypnotic. Su Ziling had already fallen into a deep sleep before she had finished thinking about it.

A dreamless night.

She had already woken up when the rooster crowed for the first time. She put on a bunch of clothes in three layers, and finally put on her new cotton coat.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind blew in. It was still so cold that she shivered, and the cold wind went straight into her neck. She shrank her neck and went to the kitchen.

As soon as they reached the door, the kitchen door opened from the inside, and the mother and daughter looked at each other.

Both of them were stunned. Mother Su came to her senses first and stepped aside, "Come in quickly, why are you up so early? It's so cold. You can sleep a little longer."

Su Ziling rubbed her hands and walked towards the fire pit. She saw that the fire was already burning, and the kettle on the pot needle had begun to emit white smoke.

"It's getting late. I was thinking of getting up to cook and leave early. I forgot to ask Er Niu when they would have their holiday. I only remembered the 19th." Su Ziling said while warming herself by the fire.

"It's okay, your third aunt and the others are also in the county. If he doesn't see you, he can wait at the restaurant first." Looking at her ears that were red from the cold, Mother Su's face was full of distress.

"It's too cold this winter. You should sleep more. I'll just make breakfast. You can go back and get some sleep."

Su Ziling shook her head, "It's okay, grandma, I'm wearing thick clothes. Fortunately, I made new cotton-padded clothes this year, otherwise I don't know how I would survive."

She rubbed her warmed hands, stood up, and went to get the basin and pour hot water to wash her face.

Mother Su walked out, muttering as she walked, "I remember your grandma made me a wind collar, which was made of rabbit fur. I went to look for it. It has been many years, and the climate here has not been too cold. I’ve never used it.” (Note: wind collar: scarf)

Su Ziling lowered her head to wash up, so naturally she didn't hear Su's mother's muttering as she walked away.

After washing, she lit the fire in the stove and was washing the pot when she felt a little itchy on her neck. She turned around and saw the dusty wind collar in Su's mother's hand.

"Auntie?"

"Here, put this on. This is warm. I wore it when I was young. I haven't worn it in these years. Now that I'm old, you young people must wear it to look good." Mother Su carefully put it on for her. .

As soon as it was encircled, I felt warm on my neck, and the wind couldn't get in.

"You're not old, why am I so old?" Su Ziling touched the furry wind collar and couldn't put it down, "You forgot, the last time we went on the street together, people on the street said we were sisters."

Mother Su nodded her forehead, "They say it's just a joke, so you believe it. You go warm yourself by the fire and I'll cook. What do you want to eat this morning?"

Su Ziling thought for a moment and said, "Sweet potato and brown rice porridge, with the side dishes we pickled, add some bamboo shoots, fry an egg with the coriander I pinched yesterday, chop the vegetables and add them to the porridge."

"Okay, I can do this. You go and rest." Mother Su pushed her and asked her to warm herself by the fire.

Su Ziling sat by the fire pit, watching her busy back, her eyes wandering around, and finally landed on the peas in the corner.

How could I forget this!

Her eyes lit up slightly and she said to Su's mother: "Mommy, instead of drinking sweet potato and brown rice porridge, let's drink pea and brown rice porridge. Just cut some small intestines and put it in. It will be delicious."

"Ah?" Mother Su looked back at her. She wanted to say that her intestines were not very dry yet, so it would be better to eat them in two days, but looking at her greedy look, she shook her head and laughed, "Okay, peas, sausages and brown rice porridge. I'll cut the sausages, and you can peel the peas."

"Hey! OK!" Su Ziling agreed with a smile.

She got up and took a bowl and a dung pan. The dung pan was used to put the pea shells, and the pea kernels were placed in the bowl.

The peas Su's father picked were all large, plump and quick to peel. Su's mother also came over to help peel the peas after the rice was cooked, and the two of them ate while peeling.

The water in the pot boiled after just peeling a sea of ​​peas. There was no time to peel them again, so I had to wash the peas and pour them down to cook together.

Su Ziling started to chop the pigweed, and she also chopped the pea shells, which could be cooked with the sweet potato residue and pigweed to feed the pigs.

The two of them had just been busy for a while, and the family members started to get up one after another. Su Zizhong and Twenty-six also came back from outside. When they came back, they saw that breakfast was not yet cooked, so the two of them tacitly started to pack up the things they would set up a stall later.
