Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen - Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Salt
Jian Qingqing quietly took all the containers in the Spatial Kitchen to the river, filled them with water, and then put them back into the Space.
She was really a smart big baby! This way, she would not have to go through so much trouble to move them.
Jian Qingqing thought to herself very narcissistically.
After spending the whole morning, she finally finished watering the small piece of land, so that it would ferment for a few days, and then she could plant her way to riches, baby!
Speaking of riches, Jian Qingqing rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea. She went back and took out a few bamboo tubes, then took out her salt and poured it into the bamboo tubes.
Rich, rich, rich!
When Xiao Hu came back after picking the wild vegetables, he saw his sister holding the bamboo tubes and laughing foolishly.
“Sister, what are you doing?”
Jian Qingqing gave Xiao Hu a mysterious smile. “Do you know what this is?”
“What is it?”
“Baby!”
Jian Qingqing laughed but did not tell him.
Xiao Hu was an impatient person. He quickly grabbed her hand. “Aiya, what is it? Quickly tell me!”
Jian Qingqing did not tease him anymore. “You’ll know in a while! Quickly go wash the vegetables!”
Jian Qingqing started a fire. By the time Xiao Hu finished washing the vegetables, the water in the pot was already boiling.
She put the vegetables in and stirred them. Very soon, the vegetables were cooked.
At this time, she picked up the sealed bamboo tube, opened it, and sprinkled a little in.
Xiao Hu saw his sister sprinkle a handful of white stuff down and asked in surprise, “Sister, what did you put in?”
“It’s salt!”
Xiao Hu was even more surprised. “Isn’t salt yellow in color? Why is it like this? Sister, quickly show me!”
Jian Qingqing sprinkled some salt on his palm, allowing him to observe it carefully.
Xiao Hu saw a small pinch of white, thin, and shiny ‘powder’ on his palm and licked it. The expression on his face immediately froze!
Jian Qingqing looked at his silly expression and smiled smugly. “How is it? You’re stunned, right?”
Xiao Hu came back to his senses and nagged again.
“Sister, where did you get this salt! Why is it so beautiful and not bitter?”
In this era, salt carried too many impurities, so it had a bitter taste. Not to mention that the Jian Family could only afford the lowest grade of private salt, so it carried even more impurities. Naturally, it did not taste very good.
“Where did it come from? Wait until father and mother come back. But you have to keep it a secret first. You can’t tell them that there’s salt.”
After that, they heard footsteps coming from outside.
Before they could hear the sound of footsteps, they could hear Xiao Ye’s voice. “Sis! Sis!”
Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Ye appeared in front of the main door. Behind him was Xiao Lang, who was running erratically. He also called out in a baby voice, “Sis! Sis!”
Jian Qingqing quickly went out and caught Xiao Ye who was rushing over. She picked up the Xiao Lang.
“Let’s go. Sister has prepared food. There will be delicious food today!”
Xiao Lang followed and said, “Eat! Eat!”
“What delicious food?” At this time, the adults who were following behind also arrived.
“You’ll know in a moment.”
Xiao Ye rushed to the front and opened the two jars. He looked at the food inside and said in disappointment, “Ah? Aren’t they all wild vegetables?”
He thought that there would be meat to eat just like a few days ago.
“You’ll know if it tastes good after you eat it.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ye became spirited. His sister’s cooking had always been the best!
Jian Qingqing distributed the vegetables. As there was no staple food like rice, so the amount of vegetables needed was very large.
After Old Man Jian washed his hands, he asked Jian Qingqing, “Has the person in the room woken up yet?”
