Su Qing said with an unchanging expression: "The things outside are very dirty and contain bacteria. Soak them in salt water to disinfect them."
"This won't work. There is an ultraviolet disinfection lamp in the kitchen. Just shine it for a while. Why don't you use it?"
Su Qing asked: "Huh? Where is the disinfection lamp and how to use it?"
She also found a tool in the kitchen. It was too weird to say that the residents of Shanquan Village lived a strange life. The combination of primitiveness and modernity always made her unexpected.
"I'll do it!" Meng Hang is an older child after all, and he is also tall.
He found an empty basin, took out the vegetables, pressed it on the wall, and a tray came out. He put the basin in, and a purple light enveloped it. After a minute, there were a few beeps, and Meng Han turned off the switch.
Put the plate on the chopping board, "That's it. Just sterilize it for a few seconds. Soaking it in salt water won't help at all."
"I've never cooked before, how would I know? I've never touched many things."
"Yes, your grandma is so fierce, she will definitely not let you touch anything. My mother said, maybe she doesn't want you to go to school. As long as you grow up and can work, she will let you work in the fields, with Aunt Mingjuan Same, working as a coolie for the Li family."
Su Qing remained silent. Anyway, the Li family would move away soon and there would be no chance to meet again in this life, so it was useless to talk about it.
Su Qing was too short to reach the chopping board, so she stood on a wooden stool, cut the washed dandelions into sections, and put them in a basin. She found sugar, salt and vinegar in the cupboard. There were some spices she didn't recognize, so just three kinds would be fine. eat.
"Hey, Qingqing, why are you putting sugar in it? Can wild vegetables be eaten like this? No need to fry or make soup. I have never tried mixing wild vegetables like this."
Su Qing glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say that eating wild vegetables growing in the open air won't kill anyone? Then it must be fine. You can eat it with confidence!"
The little fat man nodded, "It's okay to have a meal. My grandma often said that hundreds of years ago, the interstellar war cut off the channel between Mengyue Star and outer galaxies, and many things could not be transported in.
Soon all the energy stones in the world were used up. In addition to the electricity that could still be maintained, our flying cars and energy shields could no longer be used, and the supply of seeds for genetically modified crops was also cut off.
There is no synthetic food in the world, and pure energy food cannot be grown. Many people start to eat whatever they can. Some people are lucky enough to break through to the fifth level. Most people either explode and die or die of poisoning. On the contrary, it is us in the countryside. People eat a lot of food grown in the open air, and it’s not a big deal.
At most, I have diarrhea every day and feel fever all over my body, so don’t worry, the people in our village are blessed by God. If it weren’t for the good taste and high price of energy food, we wouldn’t use energy to grow crops. "
"is that so?"
Su Qing thought that Shanquan Village should be located in a remote place in Meng Yuexing. The mysterious energy is thin, so animals and plants absorb less, so it has less impact on the villagers. Diarrhea is the body detoxifying.
The little fat man raised his eyebrows, "Of course, it has been passed down from generation to generation, but for the sake of our health, no one except the poor is willing to take the risk now. Although synthetic food is unpalatable, it can be enough to satiate us, and the yield is high."
"Then don't worry, you won't have a bad stomach after having a good meal."
Meng Hang's boiled bird eggs were also cooked, so he took them out and put them in cold water.
The two children didn't care whether it was time for dinner or not. They were hungry after playing a lot. They served mixed vegetables, two sticks of corn and bird eggs, and returned to the main room to start dinner.
Su Qing directed Meng Hang to take out the bowls and chopsticks and the paste from the refrigerator, heat it in an electrical appliance similar to a microwave for a few seconds, then take it out and pour it into a bowl.
Su Qing only wanted half the bag, and Xiaopang poured the remaining half into his bowl.
"Qingqing, let's eat."
Su Qing nodded, and the two of them each took a piece of corn and gnawed it. Well, it was delicious. The little fat man's eyes narrowed when he ate it. It was so delicious.
Su Qing took a bite of the mixed dandelion, which was sour, sweet, bitter and salty. The combination of several flavors was quite refreshing and delicious.
A bite of corn, a bite of wild vegetables, and another bite of batter, and the unpalatable batter became delicious.
Seeing how delicious she was eating, Meng Hang picked up a piece of wild vegetables with chopsticks and ate it in his mouth. The little fat man's eyes lit up, it tasted pretty good, and he quickly stretched out his chopsticks again.
This meal seemed very simple to Su Qing.
In her previous life, Su Qing was very particular about nutritious food. Meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits were a must for every meal. Such meals were not qualified as breakfast, but she ate them deliciously.
There wasn't much in the first place, and both children had good appetites. A large bowl of mixed vegetables, a bowl of batter and a stick of boiled corn for each person was quickly devoured.
After dinner, Meng Hang took the initiative to wash the dishes. Qingqing couldn't even reach the sink. He was the eldest brother, how could he bully the little sister? Although Qingqing said that he could stand on the stool to wash the dishes, he should do it.
It is said that the children of poor people become rich early, and the same goes for the children in Shanquan Village. They go to the mountains to hunt strange animals, go to the fields to harvest crops, wash, cook and clean. They are good at everything. Meng Hang is no exception. He can have time to play now. It's not the busy farming season.
When the autumn harvest comes, the school will have a holiday and all students will be asked to help the adults with the autumn harvest work at home.
So washing dishes and chopsticks was not difficult at all for the little fat man. He washed the dishes carefully and put them on the dish rack.
Su Qing went to the kitchen to bring wild fruits. After the two had a meal, the fruits were served.
"Let's go, Qingqing, we are full. Let's go to my house to play. Don't you want to read my textbook? You also need to tell my grandma that I have eaten."
"Okay, let's go."
When it comes to studying and understanding the world, Su Qing is no longer calm, her social phobia has gone away, and she immediately nods in agreement.
Meng Hang locked the courtyard door and took Qingqing to his home. The two families were not far apart. Their yards were similar in size and the styles of their rooms were similar.
The houses that people in Shanquan Village live in are all the same. They are built by the villagers themselves using stones and trees from the mountains, as well as some building materials bought in the town. They are of course not very beautiful in appearance, but they are very strong, warm in winter and cool in summer.
If you want to live in a good house, you have to hire a construction team from the town. They contract the work and materials. The price is also very expensive, and the villagers cannot afford it.
Only the courtyard of the village government was built by a hired construction team.
"Grandma, I'm back." Meng Hang ran into his home like a playful pony.
There was an old woman in her fifties who was washing clothes in the courtyard. When she saw her grandson coming in, she shouted:
"Run slowly and look at your feet. You kid has no time to spare all day long."
"Grandma, my parents haven't come back yet. I've had lunch, so don't cook for me. I'll bring Qingqing over to play."
Meng Hang's grandmother didn't pay attention to the little girl behind her grandson at first. She heard her grandson talking about Qingqing and then saw the little girl.
Wearing blue cloth clothes, the little girl has fair and tender skin, big watery eyes, and two little pigtails on her head. She looks very cute, but a little thin.
"Hello, Grandma Meng, I'm Qingqing."
"Hey, Qingqing is here. You are so polite. Come in and play with your brother."
Su Qing nodded and followed the little fat man into the house.
Meng Hang's family also has a light and dark structure. The little fat boy originally lived in the same room as his parents, but when he grew up, he was kicked out by his father and lived in a room with his grandmother.
The room has a double wooden bed with neatly folded quilts stacked on it, a big red cabinet next to it, two sofas and a desk with many books and a learning machine on it.
