Chapter 1188 Sister, help me (13)
In the countryside, there are always endless things to eat! Especially because of Yang Yi's return, when the simple villagers in the village visited, they sent over some delicious food from their own homes or the field.
Lan Xin and Xixi haven't been idle for the past few days. After a while, there are peanuts that have just been pulled out from the ground and boiled with water and salt. After a while, there was a sweet and soft golden baked sweet potato sent by the little brother next door. Lan Xin couldn't wait for it to be hot while eating it happily.
This morning, Li Shupo, Baozi's "natal family", also came to visit. He just picked a batch of fresh and tender corn from the field, and brought it over in a bamboo basket. The little ones have new insights and food !
"Wow, is this corn?" After the guests left, Xixi and Lan Xin came over curiously, and Xixi exclaimed in surprise, "But this corn is different from the one at home!"
Behind the two little girls, there is a little girl following.
After being vigilant for the first two days, Xiao Tongtong finally let go of the little guy wearing crotch pants. Maybe he also thinks that his mother still loves him, so Xiao Yang Ce can't pose a threat to him, right?
After he didn't have to pester his mother, Xiao Tongtong started to play with his sister. He still felt that his sister Xixi was the best, she could play with everything!
Following his sister, Xiaotong has also experienced feeding chickens, observing big yellow cattle through the fence, etc., which are already very magical experiences for him!
It's the same now, Xiao Tong Tong couldn't hold back when he heard his sister's surprise cry, he pushed his mother's hand away, slipped off her mother's lap, and twisted his little buttocks to get close to the sisters, I looked curiously at the corn buds that "overflowed" out of the bamboo basket.
"The corn at home is also like this. It's just that what you usually see is that Dad has already peeled off the hard bracts and ears of corn in the market." Yang Yi picked up a piece of corn and peeled it off. *Ye, showed them the light yellow corn kernels inside, and said with a smile, "These are just picked from the field, so what you see is the original appearance of the corn."
"Wow, it's sweet corn. I really like to eat this kind of corn!" Lan Xin exclaimed in surprise when she saw the yellow and plump corn kernels.
"I prefer to eat white and black ones, because they are soft and sticky and delicious!" Xixi had her own ideas, but she still smiled and said, "But I also like sweet corn. !"
The two little girls were discussing enthusiastically, and Xiao Tongtong was beside his elder sister. It took him a long time to recognize it. He hadn't learned how to call corn, so he pointed to the corn in surprise and called his father with.
"It's called corn, corn!" Yang Yi laughed and taught Xiao Tongtong word by word.
"Yu Mi?" Xiao Tongtong's learning speed is getting faster and faster. Although his pronunciation is not standard at first, he will follow his father in a decent manner, and after a while, he will say it smoothly, "Corn!"
"Not bad!" Yang Yi gave the little guy a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat? Do you want to eat?"
Xiao Tong Tong could understand such a simple question, he immediately squinted his eyes with joy, nodded and laughed. Lanxin and Xixi next to her shouted even more scramblingly.
Since the little ones wanted to eat corn, Yang Yi picked a few and cooked them in the kitchen.
His cooking method is different from the way everyone in the village cooks in a pot casually. Yang Yi peels off all the husk leaves of the corn, cleans them, and then puts them in the pot. Of course, just like how everyone cooks corn, Yang Yi also adds water and a little salt, but on the surface, Yang Yi also spreads some tender corn husks on top!
Of course, such a good thing as corn silk, Yang Yi didn't waste it. After pulling out the corn silk, he wrapped it in a small gauze and put it in the pot.
It seems that cooking the corn in this way is a bit unnecessary. Isn't it possible to tear off the bracts of the corn after cooking? But Yang Yi still thinks it is better to do this, because it not only retains the original fragrance of corn, but also makes the cooked corn look clean and tidy, like pieces of art rather than unprocessed jade...
To put it bluntly, Yang Yi is a bit paranoid, for the sake of looking good!
...
After the corn was cooked, the lid of the pot was lifted, and a sweet scent rushed over. Lan Xin and Xixi, who had been waiting impatiently, couldn't help closing their eyes, showing intoxicated expressions.
When Yang Yi picked up the corn with tongs, hung it dry, and put it on a large plate on the table, Lan Xin, who had been drooling, couldn't help it, and stretched out her small hand to grab one.
This was something Yang Yi didn't notice, but fortunately, Xixi cried out in surprise: "No! Xin'er, you can't eat it yet!"
Yang Yi heard it, looked back, and quickly grabbed Lan Xin's hand, and said with a smile, "Xin'er, you have to wait."
"Why?" Lan Xin looked at the corn reluctantly and asked suspiciously.
Xixi said seriously: "Because we have to give it to our grandparents first. Papa said that we should respect the old and love the young!"
These are some principles of life that Yang Yi taught the two little girls at the dinner table recently. However, Lan Xin seems to have forgotten it long ago, but Xixi remembers it very clearly.
Yang Yi didn't expect Xixi to think so much, he shook his head with some irony, and said with a smile: "It's great that Xixi thinks so much! However, there is another reason, because the corn is still very hot now. Don't look at it, but it's really hot, don't grab it with your hands, you'll get burned!"
The corn that was cooked and simmered for a while is really beautiful. It was a little white before, but now it looks like a golden color!
Such a beautiful corn, will it be very hot?
"I'll try it, I'll just touch it carefully, I won't eat it..." Lan Xin was a little bit reluctant to let go, and begged in a low voice.
"Then touch it carefully to see if it's hot." Yang Yi didn't object either.
Lan Xin stretched out her little hand cautiously, and touched the surface of the corn with her index finger. Suddenly, the little chubby girl widened her eyes and retracted her little hand like lightning.
"It's really hot! Xixi, try it if you don't believe me!" Lan Xin said to her little friend in surprise.
Xixi smiled so that her eyes were crooked, as beautiful as a crescent moon, she shook her head, and said grinningly: "I don't want it, I know it's very hot! It's just cooking!"
...
However, after about ten minutes, the corn brought out in the courtyard outside had cooled down, and the two little girls couldn't wait to hold a corn each, walking back and forth in the courtyard, nibbling on it.
"Delicious!" Lan Xin exclaimed happily.
She ate happily, some corn leaked from the corner of her mouth after being crushed, and fell to the ground. Immediately, a pullet that had been thinking about the two girls feeding the chickens was like a fighter jet, stretching its neck, Arching his buttocks, he rushed over quickly, pecked at the ground, and then slipped away like a frightened bird after eating.
The corn cobs are very big, and a piece of corn is almost as long as Xiao Tong Tong's arm. The sisters can easily grab and eat it, but Xiao Tong Tong can't hold it. Besides, he was a little greedy and picked a thick and long corn.
"Sister, sister, help me, so you can cut it?" The little guy hugged his corn with difficulty, moved to Xixi's side, pouted his mouth, and said in a childish voice.
"Good or bad" was all wrong by him.
Of course Xixi wanted to help her younger brother, she put her own corn back on the plate, and then took his younger brother's corn.
"Eh, eh..." Xixi saw what her father did before, and she struggled to break the corn.
A little tired?
So, the little girl sat down on the small bench next to her. The skirt of the little girl slipped off, revealing her white knees. Xixi needed such a fulcrum. She followed what her father did before, putting the corn on the On his knees, press hard on both sides.
Fortunately, this piece of corn was a bit long and relatively fresh, and Xixi had relatively strong strength. She blushed from holding back, and finally broke the corn into two ends with all her strength.
"Here!" Xixi handed half to Xiao Tong Tong.
Xiao Tongtong hugged it happily, and felt much more relaxed now. He couldn't wait to take a bite, it was sweet, soft, and super delicious!
"Hee hee!" The little guy happily laughed with his sister while chewing.
It's better to be my own sister!
Xixi felt relieved, she put the remaining half on the plate, then picked up the corn she had already eaten, and said, "Brother, I will put it here for you! You can eat it later!"
