Chapter 58

"Let's find more wild vegetables along the way, it should last for a while." He said and picked up the water bag and bucket at home, "You look at my son here, I'll go buy water."

It has to be said that Zhao Gang made the right decision, because a group of bandits and refugees attacked Lingshan Town not long after. When the government got the news that the bandits had disappeared, many people died in Lingshan Town. Most of them are the disaster victims who stay outside.

He didn't know it at this time, because his decision saved the family of three from a catastrophe.

In this compartment, Gulan who was driving back was welcomed by two little girls and Dahei. Dahei broke free from the hand held by the big girl, and circled around his master, wagging his tail and whining. It seems to be accusing the owner of leaving it here.

It wasn't until An An hugged it for a long time that the guy calmed down.

Li Da and his brothers were busy unloading their own food, and their food was brought back together in the cart loaded with Gu Lan, and Gu Lan helped.

A few big sacks were moved down quickly. It looked like a lot, but they also had a lot of men, who could eat them.

Li's family is very happy to be able to buy food, and they don't have to worry about being unable to walk anymore.

They stockpiled food when they fled the famine, and they encountered villages, towns and counties on the road. Except for the famine, they were not allowed to enter. It is the result of everyone's saving and saving that they can persist until now. The old man Li and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they dug up more than half of their money, the old couple was still very happy, watching the sons unload the grain and writing on their own car, except for a few days' food, the rest was tightly tied with oilcloth.

After the food was bought, he felt relaxed, and Old Man Li walked over to Gulan's side to look at the carriage with great interest.

After careful observation, I reached out and touched it a few times, boasting "the car is good".

It is no problem to brush the oil carefully and use it for a few years.

"It's all thanks to Brother Li," Gu Lan said with a happy smile.

"He, the rest is just passable, but he does have some sharp eyesight." Old man Li stroked the strands of beard on his chin modestly, but the light in his eyes showed that old man Li was satisfied with his eldest son.

Gu Lan was amused by the modest little old man, and felt relieved. She didn't want the car she just bought to fall apart within a few months.

Enough admiration, old man Li didn't stay too long, and when he left, he took An'an and Erya away to play with Goudan.

Da Ya was helping Gu Lan to sort out today's harvest, so she didn't go with her.

The purchase of grain has been delayed for such a long time, and there is little hope of going on the road today. Gulan thought it was time to pack up.

The first must be the car. The oilcloth has already been bought, so we can't leave it idle.

Next, Gu Lan, with the help of Li Da and his brothers, used two pieces of oilcloth and some wooden sticks to tie them tightly with ropes along the frame of the car, and wrapped them all up with the oilcloth.

Except for the door at the front, the remaining three directions are fixed to the car frame with ropes.

With the help of Brother Li and the others, it only took more than two quarters of an hour to complete the whole process. A car with a carriage stood in front of Gu Lan and Daya.

The hardest part has been completed, and he hurriedly said "thank you" to Gu Lan, the brothers of the Li family. As for the rest, there is nothing complicated. Gu Lan can't bother them, so he immediately declined their kindness.

Then take out the oilcloth with needle, thread, scissors, and Gulan will make a waterproof bucket cloth. As the name suggests, the function is to waterproof.

It’s fine when the car is not moving. Once the car is moving, it is impossible to be stable as before, and it is prone to shaking, so the water bucket in the car will overflow no matter how tightly the lid is.

With the waterproof bucket cloth, there is an extra layer of protection, and it is not easy to soak the bedding and food in the car. Gu Lan had already considered this when buying the tarpaulin.

Surprisingly, Da Ya's needlework is also good, and her sewing looks good. It is true that the child of the poor has long been in charge of the house. Looking at her appearance, she should have done a lot before.

With the help of the little girl, a super-large waterproof bucket cloth was completed in a short time, which can hold three buckets, and the lid will not overflow easily once the lid is fastened.

After finishing these, there is nothing left, just arrange the space in the car reasonably.

The space in the carriage is about half a foot wide and about one foot long. Except for the driving space left in front, it is not too small, and it can be used reasonably to free up a lot of space.

The overall structure of the carriage is equipped with frame armrests in the left, right, and rear directions, and oilcloth is added, so there is no need to worry about things rolling down from the rear.

After thinking about it, Gulan put the wooden barrel on the side of the carriage, and the forage and food at the end. As for the iron pot and sundries that he bought, he put all of them on the bucket, just to increase the pressure to prevent the water from splashing out, but it is also indispensable on the road. The rope is fixed.

As for the bedding, just put it on top of the food. There is still a lot of space left in the car, which is more than enough for a few people to sit, but it’s just a bit crowded, but don’t forget that there is still room in front of the car, and it can accommodate two people. .

After finishing everything, one big and one small were busy working for nearly half an hour, and the results are quite gratifying.

From now on, she also owns a car, and Gulan is very happy.

Now the son no longer needs to borrow a car to ride, and it is safest to keep it by his side.

After tidying up the carriages, it was time for them to change themselves.

The clothes are all bought, and when there is water in Lingshan Town, I have to tidy myself up. Even if I have a car, no one will believe me even if I pretend to be poor, so I might as well clean myself up.

Besides, she wasn't alone anymore. The people in Lijia Village looked pretty good in general, and Gu Lan didn't plan to leave.

To be honest, it's not that Gu Lan doesn't dislike himself these days, the smell on his body is really indescribable.

I found several sets of clothes from the package that wrapped the bedding, and two of them were handed to Da Ya. They were all made of burlap. Gu Lan wanted to buy better ones, but the price was really good. There is no need to dress well even if you are dusty.

Here, Da Ya looked at the clothes in her hands and burst into tears with excitement, her eyes were full of disbelief.

This is the first time she has received new clothes since she grew up.

At this moment, Da Ya felt that she and her younger sister were lucky. They met their master and took them in. Not only did they get good food, they even got new clothes.

"Okay, don't be moved, quickly light a fire, boil water after lunch, wash and change, throw away the worn clothes on your body, and bid farewell to the past."

Such an older child couldn't bear to look at her with tears in his eyes, so Gulan immediately spoke.

"Yeah." The big girl nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Looking deeply at Gulan with grateful eyes, he lowered his head and started to work.

From the movements of her hands, it can be seen that the little girl is in a very beautiful mood at the moment, and the movements of her hands are much more cheerful.

But before lunch, there is another important thing to do, first open the pot,
This is one of the reasons why Gulan bought such a large piece of fat.

Of course, the more reason is naturally to retain oil. The taste of cooking with lard is not to mention, very fragrant, and the oil is also delicious.

After the fire was raised, Gulan took out one of his harvest...a large iron pot, washed it with water several times and made it on the fire.

Until the pot is hot and smoking, use a kitchen knife to cut off a piece of meat skin with a little fat, and wipe the pot back and forth in a large iron pot.

Every corner was spared, and it was like this for a minute or two before stopping. There was only one layer of skin left in the hand, the fat was all exhausted, and the surface was black.

 Boys, good evening, I wish you all happy forever (з(c)
