If they can't understand these tasks, how can they do them well? What happens if you don’t do it well?
The more I think about them, the more uneasy I become.
Su Tai probably guessed what they were thinking, but she didn’t say anything. What she needs is people who are hard-working, strong and progressive, not weak people who cry and shrink when they encounter problems. If these people are of no use to her, she won’t be able to use them. We won’t sell people, we just won’t reuse them.
"Now I give the initiative to you. You can choose what you want to do. I'll give you time to discuss it." Su Tai got up and went back to the kitchen house. The children hadn't eaten their breakfast yet. Cooking is done.
Yu Xiaoyu listened for a while with his ears straightened up, then mustered up the courage to follow Su Tai into the kitchen house. The five women who were whispering to each other stopped talking and looked at her.
Yu Xiaoyu stood at the door of the stove and asked cautiously: "Madam, I can help light the fire."
Su Tai had just lit the firewood, and looked over in surprise when she heard the sound, stood up and patted the ashes on her hands, " Okay, then you come and burn the firewood."
After that, she turned around and scooped a ladle of clean water from the large water tank to wash her hands.
It only takes a while.
Five women also came in.
Yu Mei boldly asked: "Madam, can we learn how to cook?"
The corners of Su Tai's mouth curled up in a small, almost imperceptible arc, "Okay."
She scooped out a ladle of flour from another large, tightly covered vat, cracked in six eggs, then added some chopped green onions, shredded cabbage, various seasonings and an appropriate amount of water, and stirred into a batter.
The five women watched attentively, even if they didn't understand, they didn't dare to ask more questions.
Looking at the water in the pot, they thought Su Tai was going to put the batter in to make the noodle soup. However, Su Tai used the boiling water to clean another small flat iron pot and a large pot, and then put the pot All the boiling water is removed, tea leaves and rock sugar are added and stir-fried until they turn into caramel color, and then fresh milk is poured in. The kitchen is filled with the sweet taste of milk tea.
"The first step in making milk tea is to stir-fry black tea and rock sugar. The stir-fried tea and sugar will make the milk tea more delicious. When the milk is almost boiling, turn down the heat, otherwise it will easily overflow."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Yu Xiaoyu kept staring at the stove, worried that he could not control the heat.
Su Tai pointed to the iron tongs next to her, "Don't worry, when I told you to remove the firewood, you should take out the firewood and put it into the small stove, step by step, don't be nervous."
"Yes!" Yu Xiaoyu responded loudly.
Su Tai was stunned for a moment and then smiled. This child finally looked a little like a child.
Seeing that the milk tea was almost boiling, Su Tai hurriedly said: "You can remove some firewood."
Yu Xiaoyu used both hands to pinch out the thickest firewood he selected. Carefully avoid surrounding objects and put it into the small stove.
With her first success, she obviously gained confidence and looked at Su Tai with an expectant look of praise, "Madam, do you still want to remove the firewood?"
Su Tai smiled at her. , nodded.
Yu Xiaoyu actively picked up two pieces of firewood and went out.
“That’s it, just boil it over low heat for a while.”
After Su Tai finished speaking, she turned around and picked up a small pan, brushed a layer of oil on it, and put it on On the small stove, start making pancakes. Everyone saw Su Tai spreading out a complete round pancake with ease, and their eyes widened in shock, looking at her in admiration.
Su Tai never thought that one day she would be admired for serving pancakes. She smiled helplessly and said: "These are just daily meals. The backyard stove where you live is There is also the same stove and stove. I can give you a pan and you can practice by yourself on weekdays
In addition, if you want to cook well, you must always keep one thing in mind. If the food is delicious, you must not be stingy, be reluctant to add oil, sugar, etc. These habits are not allowed. If you can do this and want to learn to cook, you can consider On the stove. "
The five adults haven't made up their minds yet, but Yu Xiaoyu expressed his stance first, "Madam, I want to learn, is it okay? ”
Su Tai saw her eyes shining brightly, and immediately agreed.
Today’s breakfast was pancakes and milk tea. After Su Tai and the four children finished breakfast, they led Yu Mei and others People went to see the laundry and sweeping work, and a group of people went to the sheepfold and saw dozens of sheep, seven or eight beef cattle, as well as donkeys and horses. They once again lamented the greatness of the Shen family.
< br>Su Tai pointed at the surrounding environment and said: "Cleaning up here is not a simple matter. There is a well next to the vegetable field outside the small door, and there are several water tanks. The water in the water tanks must be cleaned every day. When cleaning, use a shovel and a big broom to pile cow dung, sheep dung, donkey dung and horse dung into the corner of the back door. Then rinse it with water and brush the floor. Every five days, you have to come to me to get the potion for cleaning the floor.
As you can see, this place is really big. It takes a person most of the day to clean it, which is very tiring. ”
After seeing the place where livestock is raised, we finally went to the fields.
Yu Mei and the others are all fishermen, and they really don’t know how to farm. Everyone is envious when they see the villagers farming. No, I am very interested in learning. < br>
After walking around, they also had an idea in their minds
They had to be brave and able to talk to the villagers. Yu Mei was the most suitable, and she took the job. Down.
Shi Da Niu was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and her child was older and did not need her to keep an eye on, so she took over the cleaning job.
The other three people all went to learn the craftsmanship on the stove.
Chi Sanhua and Chi Zhaodi have no objection at all. They can keep their children close to them while doing this job, so they are not afraid of anything happening.
As for Alan, not to mention, she is boring and doesn't like to talk, so cooking is quite suitable for her.
The next step is to assign things to the children.
Among these children, not counting the two babies, there were five girls and eight boys. Since her twins were so troublesome, Su Tai decided to arrange two servants for each child.
Yu Xiaoyu looked at the steady and clever girl, so Su Tai asked her to follow Shen Yue'an, and also gave the three or four-year-old girl from Chi Zhaodi's family to Shen Yue'an. By then, Yu Xiaoyu would be older, and the other The little girl can also come in as a substitute.
Shen Yuezhang chose two other seven or eight-year-old girls, both orphans without fathers and mothers.
Yu Mei's daughter stayed with Su Tai for the time being and listened to her orders. If nothing happened, she would help clean up the house. She needed to keep her eyes open.
After the arrangements were made for the little girl, it was the little boy’s turn.
Yu Xiaoyu's two younger brothers were separated by Su Tai. One followed Shen Congrong and the other followed Shen Congyu. In addition, two eldest children around nine years old were arranged for them. The remaining four Su Tai planned to leave two to look after the house and take charge. Help carry water, chop wood and feed the horses, while the other two older ones learn to drive the cart so they can run errands.
As a result, except for the two little babies, everyone else has their own errands.
With a goal, everyone will not be so scared. (End of this chapter)
