Chapter 1238 Retirement and Retirement (Part 2)

  The sun around noon was hot and dazzling.

At this time, everyone who works will stop working and start eating. Those who have no money eat some pumpkin and boiled beans, and those who have money add a thin slice of bacon **** wide. After eating, take a rest, and continue to work when the sun is over. .

  猹 Someone is naturally not short of money, but there is no need to be too extravagant, so as not to show off too much money and invite some mosquitoes to buzz around.

   His lunch today is a patty of minced meat bought from a bacon workshop, corn kernels, shredded ginger, soybean powder and salt, and then steamed together. Put a few pieces of fruit on top and steam it together to make it a vegetarian dish.

   When he was eating, he glanced at the newly-made screen, which was used to separate the second floor into two parts: the living room and the dining room.

  The screen is quite simple. In the middle of the wooden frame is the special cross stitch of the Slime Basin, or another world style. The side facing the living room is rich and rich with peony flowers, and the side facing the dining room is the lotus and carp.

  There is also a cross-stitch screen in the style of ink painting in the study room on the third floor. One side is pine, bamboo, orchid and chrysanthemum, and the other side is mountains and flowing water.

  Charles found that the cross stitches in the Slime Basin were very popular among the small townspeople. Compared with expensive tapestries and oil paintings, this kind of home decoration was too cheap.

   After lunch, he went back to the bedroom with the air conditioner on for a while, and came to the kitchen at two o'clock when Aunt Winter Melon was at work.

   When Aunt Winter Melon came here today, she brought a lot of things, including a large winter melon, and a bag of washed mussels and other shells.

   She asked Charles, "Sir, what are you going to do for refreshment today?"

  Charles checked the soaked shrimp and replied, "I'll teach you how to make shrimp dumplings first. This is today's gift. After I'm done, I'll teach you how to make winter melon candy."

  Aunt Winter Melon said tentatively, "If I can learn so much from the master, I will be able to open a restaurant in the future."

  Charles said with a smile, "It depends on how much you can learn from me, sir."

   After he finished speaking, he started to teach Aunt Winter Melon how to make shrimp dumplings.

   First, put the soaked whole shrimp, the fat minced left over from lunch, and the bamboo shoots that were quietly obtained through the teleportation technique in a bowl, marinate with salt and wine to make stuffing.

Because there is no clear flour, Charles then used the traditional snack dumpling method of his hometown to make the skin. First, some rice flour was mixed with water to make rice milk, steamed, and then mixed with the raw rice flour and kneaded into a ball. Time fermentation becomes sour, so it is directly used to make dumpling skins.

   Next is the time to make dumplings. The skin is very soft, so Charles squeezed the whole shrimp dumpling into the shape of a little white rabbit, and finally cut a little carrot to make eyes.

   He also said to Aunt Winter Melon: "If this shrimp dumpling is made into a ball, it will give people a normal feeling. If it takes a little effort to make it look better, it will be very attractive. If it is more expensive, people are willing to buy it."

  Because there was no steamer cloth, Charles simply cut thin slices of carrots and placed them between the shrimp dumplings and the steamer, which was quite unique.

  Aunt Winter Melon looked at the ten little white rabbit-shaped shrimp dumplings in the steamer and said, "It's so beautiful, I'm not willing to eat it."

  Charles shook his head with a smile, and then said: "I'll burn those shells to ashes later, you first cut the wax gourd into strips the size of your little finger."

  Aunt Winter Melon hurriedly said, "Let me do this for burning shells."

   After she finished speaking, she took a basin aside, took out a mussel shell from the sack with one hand, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

   I saw a hot flame emerge from her palm, and then

  +CO↑

  The mussel shell was burnt to ashes after a while.

  Charles, who was cutting the winter melon, almost cut his finger. He asked in surprise, "Have you mastered this magic?"

  Aunt Winter Melon replied a little embarrassedly: "Master, didn't you let the boy get used to the pronunciation first, I'll try it out."

  Charles wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "In the future, this kind of magic should be prepared and practiced again, so as not to burn down the house."

  Aunt Winter Melon said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we were taking a bath at that time... Oh, what did I say to the master?"

  Charles changed the subject and said, "It's convenient to take a hot bath in winter."

   After he finished cutting the wax gourd strips, he told the winter melon aunt to wait until the shells were boiled and add water to enter, let it sit for a while, and soak the wax gourd strips with the water on it, until tomorrow.

   Leaving the kitchen, Qi came to the third floor, sat on the rocking chair, and at the same time took out the "Emperor Theory" that Elizabeth wrote to him and studied it.

   It was ten to three o'clock, and a guest arrived in front of the small building on time and left shortly after.

At three o'clock, Aunt Winter Melon came to the roof with a tray. There was a pot of tea and tea cups in the tray, seven shrimp dumplings in an ordinary plate, and three shrimp dumplings in a delicate porcelain plate. Slime Freeze.

  Aunt Winter Melon put down her things and said, "Sir, the neighbors brought snacks, and I gave you three shrimp dumplings as a gift in return."

Charles replied: "Tomorrow's refreshments will be delivered at 15:30 to 15:00. These two days, the neighbors have taken the initiative to deliver it, and we have to take the initiative. If the other party does not refuse, then take the initiative the next day. send it over."

   Aunt Winter Melon agreed and left.

  Charles tried to eat a piece of slime jelly sent by a neighbor, it was peach flavored, and there was a small piece of pulp in it.

   He can confirm that this neighbor is not an ordinary person. On the first day of check-in, he saw that the clothes that the neighbor was drying in the yard were all high-end goods, but the place for drying clothes was changed the next day.

   The refreshments delivered in the past two days are also good things, and it must be a nobleman who is not short of money.

   In addition, the girl I saw during the morning exercise looked similar to Brother Glasses, so this neighbor is most likely the younger sister of Brother Glasses, which is the princess of this country.

  The wind gradually picked up, there were more clouds in the sky, and the surrounding area was no longer so hot.

  Charles could not remember when he fell asleep in the comfortable wind, and when he opened his eyes, the sunset was beginning to climb into the sky.

   Soon, it was time for dinner.

  Tonight, Aunt Winter Melon cooked a pot of fresh wild boar meat and peas with carrots left over from shrimp dumplings for Charles.

  In the south, all kinds of beans are the staple food of ordinary people, and stewing in one pot can save the cost of fuel, so he is used to eating.

   By the time he finished eating, it was already dark~lightnovelpub.net~ The town was already silent.

   In order to save the cost of candles and lamp oil, many people went to bed not long after dark to pray to Reimu, and then went to bed.

   Those men who have a little extra money on their hands will set aside a fixed monthly budget to go to the pub for a drink.

   They go to the tavern to drink not just for the sake of appetite. The family members of each family get together as a social activity. The communication and coordination of many neighbors, and even the resolution of some conflicts and disputes are completed here.

  If the men of a family never enter the tavern, they are considered misfits and are gradually alienated.

   So even if you don’t have much money, you have to squeeze in a few days, ten and a half months to order the cheapest wine in the pub and brag about it with others.

  If you really don’t have any money, that’s the way to go. It’s only natural that poor ghosts are not treated.

   These people often have accustomed seats, which are regarded as fixed positions all year round.

  Charles, an outsider, could only sit at the bar. He ordered a glass of wine with **** slices, star anise, cinnamon and several herbs and heated to seventy or eighty degrees.
