Chapter 106 Cooking Porridge

There were several large basins of noodles, and Yunxi used more than 200 jin of flour alone, which was a huge amount.

Yunxi was able to be so extravagant only because she bought a lot of grain in advance. Now, it's impossible for her to buy that much grain again. There's nowhere to buy it, unless she's as lucky as last time and runs into a boss who's about to run away.

After kneading the dough, I also prepared a lot of fillings.

Since there were no more chives or pickled cowpeas, Yunxi decided to make pork and scallion buns. She had bought dozens of kilograms of scallions at the market last time, so it would be good to use half of them to make buns.

I also grow some scallions at home, but it's not harvest time yet, so I don't have to worry about running out of scallions after we finish them.

There are so many mushrooms in the space. Mushroom and lean meat filling is also quite good. Mushrooms are not only delicious when wrapped in rice balls, but they are also great when wrapped in steamed buns.

Take out all the fillings, and prepare to cook them in the pot tomorrow morning so they can be wrapped up directly.

Just by glancing at the things in the space, it seemed like they were all rice balls and steamed buns, which would look rather dry if you were to eat them.

Looking at that tall pile of cornmeal, millet, and sorghum, it seems like these would make a pretty good porridge.

Various types of porridge paired with steamed buns and rice balls seem to be a very good combination.

Even the soybeans, mung beans, red beans, and other beans you buy yourself can be used to make porridge. If you combine them properly, the taste should be quite good.

Of course, all good porridge must have sugar; without sugar, it tastes too bland.

After making up my mind, I went straight into the house, intending to get some rest early tonight. Anyway, I had already prepared everything I needed to. I would get up early tomorrow, finish my tasks first, and then come back early to get busy, since school starts the day after tomorrow.

Even though the knowledge from school shouldn't be too difficult to grasp with my memory, I'm always worried about unexpected situations that might prevent me from taking any precautions.

Therefore, it's best to make all the necessary preparations in advance so as not to be delayed due to lack of time.

Once she decides to sleep, she doesn't delay. Yunxi falls asleep incredibly quickly. I don't know where she got this good habit from, but as long as she wants to sleep, it's like a mental suggestion, and she falls asleep very quickly, in less than 30 seconds.

Perhaps because she went to bed too early the night before, Yunxi woke up very early the next day.

The big rooster in the backyard was slaughtered, and I can't hear it crowing anymore. Suddenly, I feel a sense of unease.

After being bothered by it for a month, it should be a better thing that it's not bothering me anymore. But I'm actually not used to it. It's really strange.

I quickly got up and washed up, then took out a big meat bun from my spatial storage. The meat bun was still piping hot, as if it had just come out of the pot.

I've just finished eating a steamed bun. It's a bit too early to go up the mountain to cut pig feed now. If I go now, my pants will definitely be soaked with dew. I'll go later. There's no rush anyway.

First, I went to the backyard to feed the chickens, and then I hung the clothes I washed last night out to dry in the yard.

It feels like there's nothing left to dry in the space except for mushrooms.

Regardless of the fact that it was still early and the sun hadn't risen yet, they immediately spread out three drying mats in the yard, took out a lot of mushrooms from their spatial storage, and placed them directly on the mats.

When it rained last time, Yunxi didn't go out to pick mushrooms on the mountain. There were just too many in her space, and there was no need to store all the mushrooms there.

After finishing, I went straight to the kitchen, boiled the pot, and cooked the fillings I had prepared last night. I put the ones that needed to be cooked in the pot and left the ones that didn't need to be cooked in my space for the time being.

After finishing, I washed the pot and filled it with more than half a pot of water, ready to start cooking porridge.

Yunxi didn't add too much water; she felt that half a pot was enough. After she wrapped the buns, she could put a clip on top and steam them without worrying about getting the porridge underneath dirty. Although the flavors might mix a little, the taste wasn't too strong, and she felt she could accept it.

I stuffed several large pieces of firewood directly into the stove so it could burn for a longer time. Anyway, there's so much firewood piled up in the space; I can just go to the deep mountains to collect more when I run out.

The firewood in the deep mountains and forests seems to be particularly large, burns very well, and is plentiful. If I were to set aside time to collect it for a day, I feel I could have enough firewood for a year.

He took out ten pounds of millet from his spatial storage and cooked it all into millet porridge.

If one pot isn't enough, then cook two. I have plenty of time.

Yunxi heard that adding a little white fungus when cooking sorghum porridge has many health benefits, but she didn't have any in her space, so she could only add some peanuts.

I've heard that if you're lucky, you can find silver ear fungus in the deep mountains and forests. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to find it. I'll definitely keep a close eye out next time I go to the mountains.

Ten pounds of sorghum rice were also taken out, washed clean, and placed in a basin, set aside separately from the millet, ready to be used directly when needed.

If there was still time, quickly move the dough out of the house. Looking at the dough in the brazier, it had all fermented. Quickly roll it out into very large wrappers.

We'll pack as many as we can and put them all in the space. The living room is just too small. If we put everything in the living room, it will feel very chaotic and messy.

It fits perfectly in the space without feeling crowded, and it's exceptionally clean, so you don't have to worry about it getting dirty even without using a basin.

After the water boils, pour in the rice for cooking porridge, then put a rack on top and place the pre-wrapped buns on it to steam.

This is much faster than yesterday afternoon, and I even cooked more porridge, so it's like using the same tool to do two things.

Yunxi planned to wait until the porridge was cooked before going to work, so she didn't pay attention even when she heard the loudspeaker outside.

Once this pot is cooked, add the next pot. Since cooking porridge takes a long time, I can finish my tasks for the day and then I won't have to go out today.

It took more than an hour to finally cook the pot of porridge. Yunxi scooped some out with a spoon, and it was very thick and looked very appetizing.
