"I don't know. I brought this rice from home. It is said to be rice from the south."
"No wonder, I've heard that the rice in the Land of Fish and Rice is particularly good. Maybe the rice you have is the rice from there."
Shi Qinghuan smiled after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, can you teach me how to steam rice?"
"Okay, you follow me into the kitchen."
"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he followed Wang Ailan towards the kitchen.
After Shi Qinghuan entered the kitchen, Wang Ailan turned on the faucet, then washed the rice and said to Shi Qinghuan: "Actually, steaming rice is very simple, just wash the rice clean, and then add an appropriate amount of water to the rice. Finally, just put it in the pot and steam it for half an hour.”
"Then how much water should I add?"
"One to one, you insert your fingers into the lunch box with water, and then look at the knuckles of the fingers. If the rice does not pass the first finger knuckle, then add water to the second box of finger knuckles, so that the steamed rice The degree of dryness, wetness and softness is just right.”
"I understand, thank you Aunt Wang."
"There's nothing to thank you for. If there's anything you don't know how to do in the future, just come to me."
"Okay, I won't be polite to you, so I'll go home and make lunch first."
When Wang Ailan heard what Shi Qinghuan said, she thought of her mother-in-law, so she shamelessly stopped Shi Qinghuan, and then said to Shi Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, I have something to trouble you."
"What's up?"
"I would like to ask if you have any rice from the south?"
"Yes, but not much, just a few kilograms."
"Then can you give me half a pound of rice? My mother-in-law's appetite has been particularly bad recently. I think she is from the south and would like to eat rice there, so I want to give you half a pound of rice to improve her food. .”
"No problem, I'll give you a pound."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
"Aunt Wang, please don't be polite to me. You are the first person to help me here, so this little trouble is nothing to me. I will go get you rice right now."
"I'll go with you to save you another trip."
"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he took out the apples from the basket and put them on the table while Wang Ailan was not paying attention. Then he and Zhang Ailan went out and walked towards their home.
When she got home, she gave Zhang Ailan a glass of water, then reached for the cloth bag Zhang Ailan brought and walked towards the kitchen.
When she entered the kitchen, she took out about a pound or two of rice from the space and poured it into a cloth bag. Then he carried the cloth bag out of the kitchen and walked towards the living room.
After she returned to the living room, she handed the puppet to Wang Ailan and said: "Aunt Wang, we don't have a scale at home, so I don't know if the rice in the bag is enough for one kilogram.
However, this rice is more expensive than the rice we sell here, but since the weight is not known, you give it according to the rice price here, and the rice is counted as one pound, so that none of us suffers. "
After Wang Ailan heard Shi Qinghuan's words, she reached out and took the cloth bag that Shi Qinghuan handed her. Then she weighed it in her hands and knew that the rice in the cloth bag was definitely more than a kilogram.
So she said to her attendant Qing Huan: "Huanhuan, the rice in this bag is definitely more than a catty, so I can't follow what you said. The price of rice in the supply and marketing cooperative now is 36 cents per catty, so I I’ll just give you 50 cents, but I won’t give you a ticket. Do you think that’s okay?”
