After finishing the meal, Wen Nuan and Yang Rui started making honey grapefruit tea.
Yang Rui was responsible for running up and down, peeling and shredding, while Wen Nuan was responsible for sitting next to him and dictating, which was also very harmonious.
Warm command: "To make honey grapefruit tea, you need to use the grapefruit peel, and you have to wash the peel with salt water!"
"Well!" Yang Rui prepared a vegetable basin from the kitchen, poured water into it, put the big grapefruit in, added salt and rubbed it for a while: "Then what?"
Nuan Nuan continued to direct: "Use a knife to peel off the skin. The thinner the skin, the better! After peeling, scrape off the flesh inside the skin, otherwise it will be bitter after making it."
Yang Rui didn't know whether the honey grapefruit tea would be bitter in the future. Anyway, his face looked a little bitter now. He said helplessly: "My wife, with our big kitchen knife, are you not too difficult for my knife skills?"
Wen Nuan smiled awkwardly, as if he was a little too embarrassed: "How about you give it a try? If it doesn't work, forget it. We'd better eat the grapefruit directly, and just soak the honey in water and drink it!"
If his wife wants it, then Yang Rui has to roll up his sleeves and work hard!
Fortunately, his hands were strong and accurate. He peeled the skin first and then removed the flesh. It was a difficult step to complete.
Warm's timely instructions for the next step: "Cut the skin into thin strips, the thinner the better. After cutting, add salt and water and soak it. This will remove the bitter taste!"
This step is not difficult, Yang Rui completed it quickly.
When Yang Rui was peeling the fruit, Nuan Nuan took the time to peel the pulp.
Yang Rui can do the next step directly. Put the soaked grapefruit peel into boiling water and boil it for a minute, then filter the water out, and then add the pulp and cook it together.
Yang Rui wiped away the non-existent sweat: "Daughter-in-law, is this good?"
Wen Nuan shook his head: "Not yet, how can it be that simple? Go get the rock candy from the kitchen cabinet!"
Yang Rui did as he was told, Nuan Nuan took the rock sugar, and didn't know how much to put in. After all, he didn't have a nickname, so he just sprinkled a handful in based on his feeling, and scooped half a ladle of water into it.
Wen Nuan: "Just cook it like this, stirring at the same time. This way it won't be mushy, and it can also boil out the moisture in the grapefruit meat."
After waiting for a while, the color of the grapefruit flesh in the pot became darker, the soup became thicker, and the pulp became sticky together. Wen Wenhua then signaled Yang Rui to put it into the two cans he had prepared earlier.
Nuan Nuan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it's really inconvenient to move around. Anyway, Yang Rui does most of the work.
After waiting for a long time, the grapefruit meat in the can was cold, and Yang Rui poured in half a bottle of honey with a warm signal.
Stir with chopsticks again, honey grapefruit tea, done!
After finishing it, not only was he warm and happy, but Yang Rui was also very happy: "Daughter-in-law, I have learned it after this trip. I will continue to make it for you when there are still grapefruits next time!"
Nuan Nuan stroked his belly, looked at the man smiling brightly at him under the dim light, and nodded:
"Okay, you can make it for me next time! Then, my child and I can drink the sweet honey grapefruit tea you made!"
The man in front of him has a slightly immature shoulders and is not as generous as a mature man.
Even sometimes his behavior is a bit childish, and he occasionally cheats and cheats when working, but he is already able to take on the important responsibilities of the family.
Being with him, although not very wealthy and not very convenient, was warm and comfortable.
Yang Rui put away the two cans of honey and grapefruit tea, then carried Nuan Nuan back to the east room, washed them casually, and then the two of them got on the kang.
This is really not because Nuan Nuan and Yang Rui don't like to be clean, nor do they get on the kang right after taking a shower.
The weather is getting colder, and you won't catch a cold even if you take a bath.
Besides, bathing water costs firewood, and you have to carry water. In this world, bathing every day is not realistic.
I couldn't sleep for a while.
Yang Rui moved down and said, "Daughter-in-law, let me hear, is there any movement in our child?"
She smiled warmly, "It's only four months, nothing happened!" But after saying that, she still turned her body sideways so that the man could listen.
Yang Rui put his ear close to his wife's belly, and he didn't know whether it was the father-son connection or something else. He seemed to really feel that there were two children inside greeting him, and he seemed to feel movement on his face.
"It's moving, the child is moving!" Yang Rui raised his head excitedly and said, "Daughter-in-law, did you feel it just now?"
I'm not sure about the warmth. Is it there or not? Although her belly was growing on her body, she really felt like it was not there.
Yang Rui lowered his head to listen again. After listening for a long time, he left his wife's belly and said very firmly: "It hasn't moved since then. It must have moved at the beginning!"
Nuan Nuan also agreed: "Yes, just moved, our children like you as a father!"
After hearing what his wife said, Yang Rui was happy and excited: "Of course, I will definitely be the best father in our village from now on.
In the spring, we take the children to fly kites, in the summer, we take the children to catch fish, in the fall, we pick fruits, and in the winter, we just stay at home and watch the winter..."
At this time, the warm sleepiness arose with Yang Rui's nagging, and he reluctantly replied "Yeah" and fell asleep.
