Qin Shen's Inn

Chapter 5 1 Handful of Green Rice

Qin Shen's whole family went to battle to make tofu, grind beans, and cook soy milk. It didn't take much time for Qin Shen to finish all the ten catties of soybeans soaked yesterday.

Qin Shen lit the fire while Dad cooked the soy milk. Like a busy bee, Diu Diu took out five large bowls from the cabinet and five spoons from the drawer. After finishing the bowls, he went to the kitchen counter to get the sugar jar.The jar is very big, it was made by Qin's mother out of yellow peach jar waste, it can hold 2.5L of canned yellow peach, and it is now sixty percent full of white sugar, which is quite heavy for a little kid.

Diu Diu held the pot with both hands to the table, clamped the pot with his left arm and body, unscrewed the lid and dug out the sugar.

First, grandma's, grandpa's, little uncle's, Diu Diu's own, and finally father's. Of course, this is not the ranking of the family's weight in his heart, but he doesn't know how much sugar his father likes to eat.He felt that his father should at least be in front of his little uncle, who hated him the most and often bullied him.

Diudiu ran into a little trouble.

I don’t know what dad’s taste seems to be. There are people who write “my dad” in a 200-word composition, and some students write “Dad is a big fat man, it seems to weigh more than [-] tons”. Obviously, they have taught units of measurement in math class of.

Far away, now is not the time to think about units of measurement.

Diudiu looked at his father secretly, looked away, lowered his head, and dragged his feet back and forth on the ground, wondering if he should ask his father, or add some by himself?

"Just put half a teaspoon of sugar. Dad doesn't like sweets very much." After struggling for a long time, Qin Shen decided not to embarrass the child anymore.

Diu Diu pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly, remembering that her father didn't like sweets, and dug out half a spoonful of white sugar from her hand.

When Diudiu was busy, the soy milk cooked by grandpa was also ready. Every bowl was poured [-]% full of fresh soy milk. The white sugar quickly melted into the slurry water under the action of heat, steaming hot and full of bean fragrance.

Diu Diu pulls the bowl out and puts it on the edge of the table. This table is high, but Diu Diu is short. Standing on his tiptoes, he can reach the edge of the bowl. With his mouth pouted, he blows a few times. He moved to the edge of the bowl and swished a few times, sticking out his tongue and exhaling from the heat.

The time before dinner was spent in the sweetness of soy milk. When all the soy milk was turned into tofu and pressed into the tofu box, their dinner also started. It was more than half an hour later than usual, and it was already dark when they ate Shen, waiting for the light in the yard, the light bulb has just been replaced with a new one, and the light is bright.

Because I was tired all afternoon, my dinner was simple. Qin Shen didn't let his parents do it, but took his younger brother to let him wash the rice and cook the rice. The old tofu and minced meat are braised in soy sauce, some white jade mushrooms and soft tofu are cooked in the soup, and a handful of chopped green onion is sprinkled on it when it comes out of the pot. The taste is not to mention how fragrant.

Such a small amount of food for a family of five is definitely not enough. Qin Shen found sausages from the refrigerator and steamed them. He also took out five eggs to make sweet and sour poached eggs. One egg per person was just right.

"Brother, I think your cooking is much better than our mother's." Lin Xiaoning, who couldn't do anything, handed the rice to the rice cooker, and he made himself a bowl of tofu nao and ate it beside him without patronizing For himself, he also made it for his parents, Diudiu and his eldest brother. Put the fresh and tender tofu nao in a bowl, put mustard greens, dried shrimps, shredded seaweed and slightly crushed peanuts, and finally pour over the special soup from Jiekou The meat marinade bought from the brine shop is poured over, and those who like to eat green onions and coriander can add some by themselves.

It's so common that you don't need to consider the issue of proportions, the kitchen rookie Lin Xiaoning can fully grasp it.

"Be careful not to let mom overhear, I won't cook for you in the future."

"Suck." Lin Xiaoning, who was eating tofu, curled her lips helplessly, "Is Mom going to menopause, what a nagging."

Qin Shen knocked on the pot, turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoning, "You should be nagged, long-term memory, who can trust and who can't trust, you have to have a steelyard in your heart, the boss is not young at 22, and you have to do it for yourself." future considerations."

"Understood brother." Lin Xiaoning poked the tofu brain in the bowl, and said with hatred: "This time I don't know people clearly, I know that kind of thing blindly, don't let labor and management see it again, if I see it, I will break his leg Don't worry, brother, I have a way to sell seafood, and I will definitely be able to do it well, this time I was tricked by someone, and I will definitely not do it all over again."

"Is there any money left?" Qin Shen poked at his weakness.

When it came to money, Lin Xiaoning was frustrated and her heart ached. "All the [-] my parents gave me was swept away, and only the [-] you gave me was left. Brother, don't take it on you. You don't need to give me money. It's not easy for you. Don't worry, I can find a way Come on, trust your brother."

"Okay!" The younger brother is confident, why doesn't he believe it, "Don't slump at home tomorrow, go shopping with me."

"Always on call, boss."

There are basic things in the inn, but he doesn't need to buy anything extra. His wallet is tight, so he will make do with it first, and then add bricks and tiles to the inn when he has more money on hand.

It was also the first time for Qin Shen to run an inn, so it was impossible for him not to be nervous, so he wanted to try the business for a while to see the effect.It's a trial operation, people have to experience eating, drinking and lodging. If you have a quilt, you also have to have meals. No, I'm going to take my brother to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil tomorrow.

"There may be more things to buy, you can find a car."

"Yeah, I'm looking for someone right away. The Dabai next door bought a second-hand pickup, and I sent a message asking him if he needs it tomorrow, and if he doesn't need it, he can borrow it."

"Okay, you can figure out what to do."

After dinner, Qin Shen asked Diudiu to do his homework upstairs, and he could take a shower and go to bed when he was done. He had to go to school tomorrow, and there was still more than a week before the summer vacation. The exams for the second graders were also easy, and there were no deadlines. Nervous and stressful, not much homework.

Qin Shen grabbed a handful of blue rice and walked to the chicken coop on the west side. There are seven or eight chickens in the house. The hen lays eggs, and the young roosters grow up to eat. The chicken soup stewed by the little rooster is very fragrant, and most of it goes into Diudiu's stomach.

Chickens are raised especially for Diu Diu.

Qin Jing and his wife treated Qin Shen as their own, and treated his children as if they were their own grandchildren.

Qin Shen is not the son of Lin Gaofeng and Qin Jing, but the son of Qin Jing's younger brother. He was adopted by Qin Jing and called them parents. I told him about it, but Qin Shen reckoned that he also knew about it.

The Qin family race is somewhat special, they are the survivors of the ancient times. They are said to be human beings transformed by a ray of clean energy from the turbidity of the world when Pangu created the world. They are different from the human beings created by the female snail. Both men and women can reproduce.

Qin Shen came out of his father's stomach, and Diudiu was broken by him.

When he was pregnant, his stomach was not big, and he didn’t care at all. He thought it was flatulence when the baby moved inside. He went to play basketball after more than six months. Just stuff two handfuls of medicine.Most of the boys who go to school and dormitory are rough, and those with minor ailments can just take some medicine. The boys are strong and strong.

Fortunately, the Zhuang boys were also quite lazy. They didn't prepare any pills, and Qin Shen didn't take them.

Although Diudiu was born at full-term, probably because he didn't keep up with his nutrition when he was pregnant, he was born like a kitten, his crying sound was small and soft, and his body was not strong at first glance.

It is also thanks to the careful care of the parents that the children can thrive.

Qin Shen was thinking about this, and put the handful of rice in his hand into the chicken food bowl. The little rooster couldn't resist the temptation of the food and was the first to eat it. When he found it was delicious, he immediately "clucked and clucked" , Attracting other chickens to come over, and after a while, a handful of green rice grains disappeared.

These are the Tianqing rice in the "Sui Gong" given to him by Chongli. It is one of the staple foods grown by Jing people. It is as big as small yellow rice and long. The porridge is fragrant and thick, more healthy and delicious than human food, suitable for the elderly and children with weak spleen and stomach.

Even though Chongli said that human beings can also eat it, there is no problem at all, Qin Shen was still a little worried, so he grabbed a handful of chickens and fed them to see their reaction. If they were still alive and kicking the next day, he would make porridge Feed the family.

After feeding the chicken, he turned his head and was taken aback, "Mom, why are you standing behind silently, you scared me to death."

"I called you, but you didn't hear anything." Qin Jing glanced at Qin Shen quietly, and sighed, "You have grown up so much in a blink of an eye. Diu Diu is so big, almost 20 years ago, I really miss him."

Where did Qin Jing really want to eat tofu? She asked Qin Shen to soak the beans in advance to be sent to a tofu shop for processing. When she came back from a trip and heard her son asking about the inn in a side-by-side manner, she felt uncomfortable, and the past was overturned. When I came out, my mind was very chaotic, so I found something to do.

"Grandpa misses you too." Afraid that his mother would be worried, he didn't say anything about the approaching 20-year deadline, and it would be useless and only increase troubles, so why did he say it.

Qin Jing gave me a blank look, "You guys just say good things and don't tell me anything. Why did your grandfather leave suddenly? I don't know why your father disappeared. The inn has disappeared for almost 20 years. Why do you suddenly say you want to run it? Don’t tell me, okay, okay, I don’t need to know, don’t tell me anything, I just want you all to be okay.”

Qin Shen stepped forward and hugged his mother, "Mom, don't worry, we will all be fine."

"You make me worry the most." Qin Jing suppressed the excitement in her heart and suppressed the tears that were about to burst into her eyes. The departure of her father and brother was a big blow to her, and the appearance of the inn would suddenly bury the worries deep in her heart. It was revealed.She was really afraid, she was really afraid that the child she brought up alone would be in trouble because of life in the inn.

After finally calming down his mother's emotions, Qin Shen raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, which was more tiring than running 5000 meters.

When he went upstairs, Diudiu had already taken a shower, and was hesitating at the door of the room wrapped in a towel.

"What's the matter?"

Diudiu looked up at him, and said in a low voice: "Grandma has washed all the quilts on my bed, and there is no place to sleep at night."

My mother also took great pains to let the father and son cultivate their relationship. Seeing that there has been no progress, she resorted to the bottom line (maybe find something to do to vent her inner boredom), so she removed and washed the quilt cover and bed sheets that were thrown away on the bed. Didn't replace it with a new one either.

Qin Shen praised his mother's move, stepped forward to pick up the son, weighed the weight, it was too light, and the task of feeding could not be relaxed. "Little fool, if you can't sleep in your room, you can sleep with Dad. Dad doesn't kick the quilt or snore at night, and he will never disturb you."

"Oh." Diudiu hadn't slept with his father yet, and the hand on his father's shoulder curled up his fingers with some resistance, but his eyes were bent expectantly, and the corners of his mouth were trying to flatten. He wanted to save face.

The awkward little fool thought that his father couldn't see it, but he didn't know that his bright eyes had betrayed him long ago.

The smile on the corner of Qin Shen's mouth deepened, his heart was filled with joy, and he didn't say anything, lest the sensitive child's face would be overwhelmed.

I don't know who this temper resembles. When he was a child, his mother said that he was a fool. He only knew how to eat and play, and he fell asleep when he was tired of playing.

Throwing Diudiu on the bed, Diudiu rolled over, and laughed "giggle", he likes to play like this.Rolling to the back, the strength to "throw" out was gone, and he rolled all the way to the head of the bed and shrank himself into the quilt. When he pulled up the quilt, he revealed a pair of eyes, looking at his father with crooked eyebrows.
