Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 38

This morning, it was still the party secretary's mother-in-law who brought two people to help the educated youth cook.

And they also sent food, explaining that they would fire alone at noon.So a group of educated youths discussed taking turns to cook, in groups of two, and combined freely.

Liu Xiangyang and Shen Jinqin were in the first group, one was in charge of lighting the fire, and the other was in charge of making the face.They also plan to show off at noon and cook something delicious for everyone.

As a result, Liu Xiangyang added firewood to the pot with his head depressed, and didn't bother to check the situation in the pot at all.

After Shen Jinqin finished making the noodles, he realized that there was no water in the iron pot, and it was burning red at the moment.In desperation, she hastily scooped a spoonful of water from the water tank and poured it in.

As a result, I heard a "click", and a long gap appeared in the big iron pot...

Ever since, they found someone to inquire about, and then went to the consignment point to buy pot.

Wang Manyin shook his head speechlessly: "Consignment outlets don't sell iron pots. If you want to buy them, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but you need an iron pot ticket. You'd better find a branch secretary and ask him to send someone to Shigejie Commune to help you cook pots."

These days, even a cracked iron pot can be repaired.In addition, there are water tanks, porcelain bowls, and basins that can also be cured.

Hearing that, both of them were a little disappointed.

In the end, they bought two catties of fruit candy at the consignment point, and bought some kerosene with the tickets they had just issued, and left.

After the two left, Wang Manyin continued the mud kiln.

Just less than 5 minutes after I was busy, someone called the door again.

At noon, he didn't do much work at all, he was only busy dealing with customers.

When he was about to start work in the afternoon, Sun Shaoan appeared in front of the cave.

"Shao'an, why are you here? Didn't go to work today? I'll pour water for you." Wang Manyin said in surprise.

He was just about to go back to the house when he was stopped again.

"Brother Manyin, don't pour water, I'm not thirsty. I heard from the shopper in the village that you are in the mud kiln, so I came here to help for two days, and all the tools are ready."

"Thank you, actually, I don't need it, I'm busy here alone."

To be honest, Wang Manyin really didn't want to bother the old father-in-law's family.In order to earn work points, he didn't have time to repair his own cave, so he ran over to help him instead.

It really made Wang Manyin a little embarrassed.

But now that he has come, he won't say anything more, just keep everything in mind.

With Shaoan joining, the progress has been greatly accelerated.

By the time it got dark, the two had already painted most of the cave dwelling.It can be completed in half a day at most tomorrow.

"Brother Man Yin, I'm going back first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning." Seeing that it was getting dark and he couldn't do the work, Sun Shaoan immediately packed up his things and left.

Where would Wang Manyin let him go, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Shaoan, eat here tonight. I'll wash my hands and cook..."

"No, brother Manyin, the house should be ready." Sun Shaoan struggled to leave.

When the two were pushing and pulling, they suddenly heard a few screams from Rhubarb not far away.

Afterwards, it galloped over and charged at Sun Shaoan with its mouth wide open.

"Rhubarb, stop!" Wang Manyin yelled anxiously.

Shao'an was also frightened by a wit, and stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

This dog is too protective of its master. If it had shouted half a second late, it would have bitten its thigh.

In winter, wounds don't heal well.

"Shao'an, don't let me go, I'll eat here tonight."

"Okay," Sun Shaoan nodded, looking at the dog with lingering fear.

"Rhubarb, go back." Wang Manyin patted the dog's head and reprimanded him.

Although this guy is smart, he doesn't understand the complex behavior of human beings. He obviously took their pushback just now as a fight.

The ingredients were limited, and Wang Manyin didn't cook any complicated dishes.

A plate of soft scrambled eggs, and a plate of potherb mustard.

Potherb mustard, also known as wild spicy vegetable, belongs to cruciferous plants.It looks like rapeseed, but there are some small thorns on the stems and leaves.

This kind of wild vegetable is available all year round, and it can grow even in snowy weather. The leaves are green and shiny. It is a rare winter wild vegetable on the Loess Plateau.

Every autumn and winter, many people will go to the fields to dig and eat.

Its taste is slightly bitter and spicy, and it must be scalded with boiling water before frying, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow.

However, Wang Manyin did not come from the wild, but was excavated from the space before, and the taste is much better.

The food is still corn nests, plus half a pot of millet porridge.

Looking at the food on the table, Sun Shaoan hesitated and said, "Brother Manyin, do you eat corn cobs every day, is there enough food?"

He saw very clearly just now that the crock pot was full of corn nests, but no sorghum nests, which meant that people usually eat like this.

Wang Manyin pondered for a while, and decided to reveal something: "Shao'an, your sister and I are getting married soon, and we are also considered a family. Let me tell you a few words of truth, I have earned some money outside in the past two years. Others I can't guarantee it, but when Lanhua gets married, it's still okay to eat corn nests."

He also laid the groundwork in advance, so that the brother-in-law's family would not worry about going to work in the production team in the future.

Hearing this, Shaoan didn't ask any more questions.

Ever since Wang Manyin settled the relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative without saying a word, Sun Shaoan believed that this brother-in-law was not an ordinary person, and everyone underestimated him before.

The two of them are basically their own family members, they are not polite to each other, and they are more comfortable eating.

Padding his stomach, Wang Manyin scooped up two and a half bowls of loose wine and placed them in front of each other.

Don't persuade them to drink, just drink their own.

Opening a consignment store at home, at least drinking is much more convenient than before.

After the two of them had dinner, Wang Manyin thought about catching sparrows, and stopped Sun Shaoan who was about to go home, and asked him to go with him.

"Just those straw stacks from last time?" Sun Shaoan immediately became interested.

Of course he would like to catch a few sparrows for a tooth-fighting sacrifice.

In this way, the two locked the kiln door and walked towards the wheat field behind the village with Rhubarb.

The weather is not very good tonight, the moonlight is hazy, but it can let them see the road clearly.

The two walked forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot.Rhubarb followed closely behind, sniffing around the grass all the way.

Just before the straw stack, the guy suddenly made a low voice.

"Stop, Rhubarb found something, it might be a hare." Wang Manyin hurriedly stopped Shao'an.

During this period of time, he and the earth dog have developed a deep tacit understanding, and can easily understand the meaning expressed in the other party's barking.

The weather is more than ten degrees below zero, although it has not yet snowed, but the hares also like to hide by the straw piles to avoid the cold.

The next moment, I saw Da Huang walking forward quietly.

Immediately, a pounce.

"Cluck..." Accompanied by two deep bird calls, there was no movement at all.

Then, Rhubarb returned with a ball in his mouth.

"It's a pheasant!" Sun Shaoan whispered excitedly.

This thing is better than sparrows. Put more potatoes and radishes, enough for the whole family to have a delicious meal.

On the contrary, Wang Manyin was a little regretful. The neck of the pheasant was bitten off, and it must not be able to keep it alive.

However, the big surprise is yet to come.

After Rhubarb put down the pheasant, he ran to the straw stack to search again.Soon, he returned with a pheasant in his mouth.After searching through several stacks of wheat straw, they caught three pheasants in a row.

Next, Wang Manyin and Sun Shaoan also started to move, looking for sparrows along the straw stack.

Pheasants generally hide at the root of the straw pile, but sparrows are different, and more often hide halfway up the straw pile.

Moreover, they are small in size, and often the colder the weather, the deeper they drill, so they need to be carefully searched for by hand.

The two searched through several stacks of wheat straw and caught more than 20 sparrows.

Coupled with the three pheasants caught by Rhubarb, tonight is definitely a fruitful harvest.

Wang Manyin asked Shaoan to bring home a pheasant and more than a dozen sparrows, and he took the rest away.

A few sparrows can be grilled for supper later, and by the way, reward the hero of rhubarb.

As for the two pheasants, he plans to get them to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow.One was a gift for Mr. Guo's family, and the other was for Liu Qingli to eat.
