In the countryside, there was always an endless supply of food to eat! Especially because of Yang Yi's return, the simple villagers in the village all sent some delicious food from their homes or fields over when they visited.
For the past few days, Lanxin and Xixi's little mouths had not been idle at all. Sometimes, they would eat peanuts that had just been plucked from the ground and boiled with water and salt. Sometimes, they would eat them while sitting cross-legged on the armchairs in the hall. Sometimes, they would eat sweet and soft golden roasted sweet potatoes that were sent over by the little brother next door. Lanxin, who could not wait any longer, complained that it was hot while eating happily.
This morning, Steamed Bun's' mother ', Li Shupo, also came to visit. He had just plucked a batch of fresh corn from the fields and brought a bamboo basket over. The little guys had a new experience and food to eat!
"Wow, is this corn?" After the guest left, Xi Xi and Lan Xin immediately came over curiously. Xi Xi exclaimed in surprise, "But, this corn is different from the ones at home!"
Behind the two little girls, there was a little kid.
After the first two days of vigilance, Tong Tong finally let go of his guard against the little guy who was wearing open-crotch pants. Perhaps he felt that his mother still loved him and little Yang Ce was not a threat to him.
After not pestering his mother, Tong Tong played with his sister. He still felt that his sister Xi Xi was the best. She knew how to play with everything!
When he was with his sister, Tong Tong also experienced feeding chicks and observing cows through the fence. These were all very magical experiences to him!
It was the same now. When Tong Tong heard his sister's surprised exclamation, he could not hold back anymore. He pushed away his mother's hand and slid down from his mother's lap. His little butt swayed as he moved closer to his sisters. He curiously looked at the corn buds that were "overflowing" out of the bamboo basket.
"The corn at home is also like this. It's just that what you usually see are the hard leaves and ears of corn that Dad has already peeled off in the market." Yang Yi picked up a corn, peeled the leaves, and showed them the light yellow kernels. He smiled and said, "These were just picked from the ground, so what you see is the original appearance of corn."
"Wow, it's sweet corn. I love eating this kind of corn!" Lan Xin cried out in surprise when she saw the yellow, plump corn kernels.
"I prefer the white and black ones because they're soft and sticky and delicious!" Xixi, on the other hand, had her own thoughts, but she still giggled and said, "But I also like to eat sweet corn!"
While the two girls were discussing fervently, Little Momo was beside his sister and only recognized the corn after looking at it for a long time. He hadn't learned how to call the corn, so he pointed at the corn in surprise and called out to his father.
"This is called corn, corn!" Yang Yi smiled and taught Tong Tong word by word.
"Fish rice?" Tong Tong was learning things faster and faster. Although his pronunciation was not perfect at first, he could say it like his father. After a while, he could say it fluently. "Corn!"
"Not bad!" Yang Yi gave the little guy a thumbs up and smiled. "Do you want to eat it? Do you want to eat it? "
Tong Tong could understand such a simple question. He was so happy that he squinted his eyes, nodded, and giggled. Lan Xin and Xi Xi, who were next to them, cried out in excitement.
Since the little guys all wanted to eat corn, Yang Yi picked a few and went to the kitchen to cook them.
The way he cooked the corn was different from the way the villagers cooked the corn in the pot. Yang Yi peeled off all the leaves of the corn, washed them, and put them into the pot. Of course, just like how the villagers cooked corn, Yang Yi added water and a little salt. However, Yang Yi also put some tender corn husks on the surface!
Of course, the corn whiskers were good stuff, so Yang Yi did not want to waste them. After plucking the corn whiskers, he wrapped them in a small gauze and put them into the pot.
It seemed a little unnecessary to cook the corn this way. Couldn't he just peel off the corn after cooking it? However, Yang Yi still thought it was better to cook the corn this way. This way, not only would it retain the original fragrance of the corn, but it would also make the corn look clean and tidy. It would look like a piece of art instead of an unprocessed jade.
To put it bluntly, Yang Yi was a little stubborn. He just wanted to look good!
…
After the corn was cooked, the lid of the pot was removed, and a sweet aroma wafted out. Lan Xin and Xixi, who were eagerly waiting at the side, couldn't help but close their eyes with intoxicated expressions.
Yang Yi picked up the corn with a pair of tongs, drained the water, and then put it on the big plate on the table. Lan Xin, who had been swallowing her saliva, could not help but reach out her small hand to grab one.
This was what Yang Yi did not notice. Fortunately, Xi Xi shouted in surprise, "No! Xin Er, you can't eat it yet! "
Yang Yi heard it. He looked back and quickly took Lan Xin's hand and said with a smile, "Xin Er, you have to wait a moment."
"Why?" Lan Xin looked at the corn reluctantly and asked in confusion.
Xi Xi said seriously, "Because we have to give it to Grandpa and Grandma first. PaPa said that we should respect the old and love the young!"
This was some of the principles that Yang Yi taught the two girls at the dinner table recently. However, Lan Xin seemed to have forgotten it, but Xi Xi remembered it very clearly.
Yang Yi didn't expect Xixi to think so much. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head and said with a smile, "It's great that Xixi can think so much! However, there's another reason. It's because the corn is still very hot. Don't use your hands to grab it. You'll get burned! "
After being cooked and braised for a while, the corn was indeed very beautiful. It was a little white before, but now it looked golden!
How could such beautiful corn be very hot?
"I'll try, I'll just touch it carefully, I don't want to eat it …" Lan Xin was a little reluctant and begged in a low voice.
"Then touch it carefully and see if it's very hot." Yang Yi did not object.
Lan Xin carefully stretched out her small hand and touched the surface of the corn with her index finger. Suddenly, the little fat girl's eyes widened and she retracted her small hand like lightning.
"It's really very hot! Xi Xi, try it if you don't believe me! "Lan Xin said to her little friend in amazement.
Xi Xi smiled with her eyes curved, as beautiful as the crescent moon. She shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't want it, I know it's very hot! It's just cooked! "
…
However, after about ten minutes, the corn in the courtyard had already cooled down. The two little girls couldn't wait to grab a corn each and walk around the courtyard, gnawing on it.
"Yummy!" Lan Xin exclaimed happily.
She ate a little happily. After some corn was bitten, it leaked out from the corner of her mouth and fell to the ground. Immediately, a little hen, who was already thinking about the two girls feeding the chickens, stretched her neck, arched her butt, and rushed over like a fighter jet. She pecked the ground, and then like a frightened bird, she slipped away after eating.
The corn cobs were very big, a corn was almost as long as Tong Tong's arm. The sisters easily grabbed and ate, but Tong Tong was a little bit unable to hold it. Moreover, he was a little greedy and picked a very thick and long corn.
"Sister, sister, help me, okay?" The little guy struggled to hold his corn, came to Xi Xi's side, pouted his little mouth, and said in a childish voice.
"Okay?" He even said wrong.
Xi Xi, of course, wanted to help her brother. She put her corn back on the plate and then took her brother's corn.
"Eh, eh …" Xi Xi had seen how her father used to do it. She struggled to break the corn.
She couldn't use her strength?
Thus, the little girl sat down on a small stool at the side. The little girl's skirt slid down, revealing her white knees. Xixi needed a fulcrum like this. She learned from her father's previous practice and placed the corn on her knees, pressing down hard on both sides.
Fortunately, this corn was a little long and tender. Moreover, Xi Xi had a lot of strength. She held her little face until it was red. She used all her strength and finally broke the corn into two.
"Here!" Xi Xi handed one half to Tong Tong.
Tong Tong happily held it. This time, he was much more relaxed. He couldn't wait to take a bite. It was sweet, soft, and super delicious!
"Hee hee!" The little guy chewed and laughed happily with his sister.
His sister was still the best!
Xi Xi was relieved. She put the remaining half of the corn on the plate, then picked up the corn that she had already eaten a little and said, "Brother, I'll put it here for you! You can eat it later! "
