Chapter 153 153. Peeling Task
After the seventh cousin made arrangements for the king, he wandered around to see his new stove.
The new stove was built exactly according to his requirements, using red bricks and cement leftover from the previous build of pig pens and dog kennels.
Even though there is only a shed built in the yard, a quarter of the entire yard is occupied by this "kitchen".
A neat pile of firewood and a large bag of pine needles for starting a fire were stacked against the courtyard wall.
Directly in front of the firewood pile is a countertop made of bricks with thick wooden boards on top. The seventh cousin's various seasoning jars and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are placed on it.
Next to it is a large iron pot.
It must have been used for many years and has been maintained to be shiny and shiny. The diameter alone is 72 centimeters.
How big does this have to be?
Let’s put it this way, a pot with a diameter of 30 centimeters is almost enough for a family of four to cook. What's more, the area of the pot is like the size of a pizza. With this pot, cooking for dozens of people will be no problem.
The bite next to it is also the same size.
In the upper position between the two pots, there is a large iron pot built into the stove, with a lid on it.
In the future, fill this jar with water every time before lighting a fire. When the rice is cooked, the water will almost boil. Whether you're washing dishes or washing pots, or ironing something, it's all convenient.
According to the seventh cousin, a water heater is a water heater, but you have to make a fire anyway, so it doesn’t cost anything to spend a few more bricks to build a water pot!
Okay!
He has seniority and is also a chef, and it is such a reasonable request. The family also expects him to take good care of Qiaoqiao, so naturally he will say whatever he wants.
At this point, the seventh cousin was still dissatisfied. Many of his treasured things did not dare to be put out, but were stuffed directly into the cabinet.
"Thirty percent, it's not that I don't want to give you good things to use, it's just that if they are left in the open air, no matter how well they are kept, they will inevitably be exposed to moisture and heat, and will easily deteriorate."
"This stove can be used in spring, summer and autumn, but it won't work in winter. Before winter, you have to find a way to expand the kitchen."
That was already the beginning of winter, and now spring has just begun. Song Sancheng is full of confidence:
"Okay, cousin, don't worry. I'll change the whole yard when I have time."
Let’s just take care of it now, how can we eat a fat man in one go?
Looking at the time again, there is no need to dig bamboo shoots freshly this morning, so it will be early to go to the vegetable market.
No, Song Tan is back, and it's only around ten o'clock now.
The tea pickers don’t finish work until twelve o’clock. Considering the speed at which Cousin Seven cooks, there is no rush at all.
He then waved: "Qiaoqiao, come here and help my cousin."
Qiao Qiao was holding a brand new tablet in her hand and was reluctant to look away. However, Song Tan took the tablet away without hesitation:
“If you want to watch Ultraman, Qiao Qiao needs to earn a good salary. After all, tablets are very expensive.”
"Next, you will follow your seventh cousin for three meals a day. You can do whatever he asks you to do. When you are done, you can come to me to get a tablet and play with you as you like."
“Is this okay?”
Qiaoqiao was a little confused: "Do you just need to cook?"
Song Tan thought about it for a while, then turned around and asked the seventh cousin: "Seventh cousin, would your cooking method be suitable for live broadcast?"
The seventh cousin chuckled: "What kind of home-cooked dishes are hidden? Now on Douyin, in bookstores, and in the little green books you young people play with, there are many recipes on them. You can play them as you like. ”
Grandma Qi exposed him immediately: "He also knows how to cook home-cooked dishes. There are many fresh dishes. He plays the "Kitchen" at home, and he even learned two tricks."
The seventh cousin was exposed, and now he said angrily: "What do you mean by learning two tricks? My method is more efficient. Isn't it more about watching more and learning more."
Having said that, he quickly changed the subject:
This is true.
Otherwise there are so many recipes, how come some people are great chefs and some people can cook the pot?
Song Tan suppressed a smile and said to Qiao Qiao: "While cooking, you can also hold your Qiao Qiao class. You can be the teacher and teach the students on your mobile phone."
Since the live broadcast is popular, let’s save up. There is nothing to sell recently, so it’s okay to keep it popular first.
Speaking of my own class, although I can’t see any feedback from students, there is no feedback from students when playing house, and the children are not having fun.
This is the mentality of Qiao Qiao.
At this moment, he quickly moved the small stool and sat next to the seventh cousin. He slowly put the phone holder in place, and then fiddled with it unfamiliarly.
The seventh cousin was not in a hurry. Instead, he took out the pears that Song Tan had just bought in the morning, and took out a paring knife from his box:
“Can you peel off this pound of pears?”
Peel it?
Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Now he looked at the live broadcast room that he had just set up, nodded and said, "I can."
Song Tan adjusted the phone to the range of his hand, and Qiao Qiao sat on the small bench with a stainless steel basin in front of him. I picked up the knife and started to peel slowly.
This is really a hard work. After all, the pear is not as big as a table tennis ball, and it is oblate in shape, with pits and bumps, and it looks a bit wild.
A knife can only peel the skin slowly, little by little.
Fortunately, what he lacks most is patience. He said nothing to the camera at this moment. After more than ten minutes, he had already cut out several pieces.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all over the place, and as expected, they yawned.
Having watched the live broadcast twice, they already know the style of this anchor.
Either you talk to yourself, or you don't speak. Anyway, you will never pay attention to the audience.
In other live broadcast rooms, there are people calling for No. 1 and "Baby, kiss, big brother," but here, there is really nothing.
But the more this happened, everyone still felt that there was magic. At this moment, the camera saw a pair of fair and slender hands holding a shining knife and slowly peeling the dark brown pear...
Don’t tell me, it’s really boring.
But I just can’t think of quitting.
At the beginning, there were still barrages: "Be careful, you may cut your hands."
Soon, the barrage became less and less, and the last person spoke five minutes ago.
“I’m tired of looking at it.”
Actually, there are still a lot of words that haven’t been typed out—
That is to say, can you give me a notice in advance next time you broadcast live? Don't start broadcasting suddenly. Either set a reminder on your mobile phone or try your luck again.
Could you please stop live broadcasting during the day and choose a night time, so that you can fall asleep, how sweet it is.
It's good now, everyone is holding on to their jobs with difficulty. Another old man's voice came from the live broadcast room -
“Do you know what this is?”
It was the seventh cousin who spoke.
There was not a word in Qiaoqiao's live broadcast room. He was old and somewhat half-understood, so he quickly ignored it.
However, the child is stupid, but this attitude is very practical.
Come on, give your **** friends a mouthful of milk every day. The number of words is high and your strength is guaranteed. You can quickly collect it and you won’t suffer any loss!
