Chapter 495 Haggis Soup
Lu Chuan glanced at the mud monkeys, shook his head and didn't dare to speak. He thought to himself, "Fortunately, my wife is in a good mood today, otherwise I would definitely be scolded for the children's behavior."
Xu Han brought the children home, took them to the backyard, stripped them all naked, and poured warm water directly on the three brats.
The three of them took a shower together, and inevitably there was some playfulness. Xu Han had no choice but to suppress them with force, otherwise the bath would only get dirtier and dirtier.
After she finally washed all three of them, Dan Niang also came back from the valley to help cook.
"Madam, why don't I make some pancakes? Those grown men won't be full with just mutton soup."
"Okay, I'll help you with it."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she started to make pancakes with Dan Niang. The mutton offal soup and pancakes were made at the same time, and the process was very fast. As the mutton offal soup was just finished, the unleavened pancakes were also out of the pot.
Just then the group of people who were building the house came back, and Xu Han quickly put the vermicelli and cabbage into the mutton offal soup and stewed them together. After they washed their faces, the mutton offal soup was ready.
While serving the rice, Xu Han called out, "Everyone, come and serve the rice. I made mutton and mutton offal soup today. I guess you haven't had it yet. Come and try it to see if it tastes good."
Upon hearing this, everyone came over to serve the food. Without any restraint, they each found a cool spot to squat there, or simply sat on the ground and started eating.
Li Si was slurping the mutton soup. At first he didn't know what he was eating. He thought it was mutton or a mutton head or something like that. It was not until he tasted a piece of intestine that he realized what was going on.
"What is this? Sheep intestines?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Yes, it's delicious."
Li Si was surprised when he heard this. "It really is sheep intestines. How come the sheep intestines are so delicious? They are chewy and not smelly at all."
"Hahahaha, you don't know this, right? Madam told us how to make the sheep's large intestine. The cleaned large intestine really has no taste at all."
Upon hearing this, the others also started rummaging through the bowls, took a bite and tasted it, and it was indeed delicious.
Zhu Chunfeng said, "It's really delicious. In the past, I didn't know how to process it, and the large intestines I made tasted terrible."
Zhang Yi said as he ate, "This large intestine tastes good. You don't have to throw it away if you have it in the future. It can also be a dish if you wash it and stir-fry it."
The Taoist priest at the side echoed, "You know what, the fried large intestines are much more delicious than this, especially the stir-fried pig intestines, which taste so delicious, and it's perfect with a little wine."
Several men standing by started drooling at what the Taoist priest said, especially those who had never eaten it before. They couldn't imagine how delicious the stir-fried pork intestines that the Taoist priest described could be.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu Han laughed and said, "It's not that easy if you want to eat it. I still have two wild goats at home that I haven't killed yet. I'll cook it for you guys to try next time I kill them."
"Hahaha, then I'd like to thank you, ma'am."
Wang Lin echoed, "Hahahaha, we made the right decision to follow Madam back. Over the past few days, we not only ate meat, but also ate so many delicious dishes that we had never eaten before. If you ask me, this is worth it in this life."
Zhang Yi joked, "Look at your achievements. If you work hard in the future, your wife will be able to eat without you."
Li Si interrupted, "You talk as if you are not greedy for food. Every time there is new food, you eat the most. You are not afraid of being full."
"You're still talking about me, aren't you the same?"
Zhu Qiang joked, "Don't blame each other, you guys are like starving ghosts every day. You can't even walk when you see food."
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and after chatting and laughing, they finally finished their lunch.
After lunch, Xu Han asked everyone to go back and take a nap, and she also took the two children back to the room to take a nap.
People sleep in spring, feel tired in autumn, and take naps in summer. Now that autumn has just begun, Xu Han feels as sleepy as ever every day.
I don't get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night, but after lunch I am so sleepy that I can't open my eyes.
If I don’t get enough sleep, I’ll feel tired the whole afternoon and won’t want to move.
When Xu Han woke up, everyone went to the valley to build houses.
She was not idle either. The autumn harvest would begin tomorrow, and she was looking for the tools needed for the harvest in the tool room.
Take out the sickle, hoe, backpack, shoulder pole and so on.
At night, everyone packed up the tools together, sharpening those that needed sharpening and repairing those that needed repairing, so as not to delay tomorrow's autumn harvest.
There are a lot of sickles, hoes and other tools in the house now. Not only are there the ones we had before, but there are also the ones that Xu Han specially prepared during the disaster year, and some that he bought specially when he came back from the county town last time.
Adding up all of these, there are about thirty or forty of each, which is more than enough for dozens of people.
Xu Han picked and chose and put in some new ones that were no longer needed and put them away for later use. She also picked out the damaged ones to see if they could be repaired. If they could not be repaired, she would put them aside and take them to the iron shop to exchange them for new ones when she went to the county town.
In short, use what can be used and replace what cannot be used. Don’t waste and don’t make do.
After all the tools were picked out, Xu Han went to make some ice jelly for everyone. She put all the ice jelly in a water tank in the backyard and hung it there so that they could eat it when they came back from work. It was icy and very refreshing.
This summer, we use less ice at home, but we eat a lot of ice jelly, especially after we bought servants, we have to make some ice jelly every now and then.
There are not many ice jelly seeds left at home now, and now is the time to pick them. After the autumn harvest in the next two days, Xu Han is thinking of taking them to the mountains, and then they will pick ice jelly seeds together. If they pick more, they can take them to the county town to sell them next year.
After she put the prepared ice jelly into the water tank, Ze'er and Mu'er's classes were over.
When Xu Han saw the two of them coming out, she simply called them to go to the orchard together. Now was the time to eat pomegranates.
The pomegranates picked a few days ago have been eaten. After growing for a few days, there must be more ripe pomegranates. Xu Han thought about picking some and squeezing them into pomegranate juice for the two children to drink.
Both children like the sour and sweet pomegranate juice very much, and of course she herself likes to drink it very much too.
The mother and her two sons went to the orchard together and picked some big, red pomegranates.
Some pomegranates were too high for Xu Han to reach, so she asked Mu'er to climb up the tree to pick them.
Mu'er started practicing Kung Fu since he was a child. Although the child's skills are average, he is very flexible and climbing a tree is no problem at all. He can reach the top of the tree in just a few strokes.
