Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 43 Wheat
After harvesting the wheat, a more difficult problem appeared. Without machines, the harvested wheat had to be exposed to the sun first, and then turned over and over again. When the sun dried the straw in the afternoon, it was pricked back and forth with stone rollers until The grain is separated from the stalk.

Then, when the wind is blowing, throw the rolled wheat into the air with a wooden lift, and use the wind to blow away the chaff, short straw and chaff of the wheat.

Before the wheat is stored, it must be dried in the sun, then bagged and shipped home.

Even if it is put into the granary, he can't eat it in his mouth, because he has to grind or grind the noodles before eating, and where can he go to grind the noodles at this time.

After harvesting wheat that time, he was looking forward to being able to sign in to the secret space fragments again. It does not require space expansion or other functions, as long as it can realize the one-click harvesting function.

The remaining one and a half acres of land is going to be fenced, sprinkled with rapeseed, and when the vegetable seedlings grow, the chickens, ducks and geese registered by the system will be raised in it, so that you can often harvest all kinds of vegetables. egg.

Those two little piglets who haven't been taken out all this time have a place to raise them. Anyway, it won't rain in the space, so I build a fence with wood and use it first. When the piglets grow up a little bit, they will have more strength. When it's over, find a way to get some bricks and cement to build a pigsty.

And on that small hill, some fruit trees are going to be planted, and there are two other things that must be planted, that is, elm and pagoda tree, and we will eat elm and pagoda tree.

He likes to eat these two things the most, but these two things can only be eaten for a few days. After that season, he will not be able to eat them again this year.

These two things are easy to get, and they can be seen in front of and behind houses in rural areas, alleys and alleys.And there will be many small trees growing beside the big tree, because they grow too densely and cannot see the sunlight, and they will die when they grow.

In two days, when the famine has not reached that level and the bark has not been peeled off, dig up a few trees and plant them in the space.

While thinking like this, he took out the potherb mustard buns that he made yesterday from the secret space. He was too lazy to cook anymore, so he ate a makeshift meal with the bowl of hot water left in the thermos.

After eating, his mind was still in the secret space, and he seemed a little absent-minded when walking.

"Ahem," Zhang Yu closed his eyes abruptly, and he seemed a little dazed. The water came from nowhere and splashed him from head to toe.

After pulling his face with his hands, he could see the surroundings clearly. There was an obvious watermark from his position to the front, as if standing in front of him and splashing water in his direction with a basin.

"Who, who splashed the water?" Zhang Yu was a little angry for a moment. In this winter, he was suddenly poured with cold water, and whoever was put on it would not be angry.

Zhang Yu took two quick steps to see who it was, but there was obviously no one in that direction, and he ran away after finding out that someone had been splashed.

After searching for a while, I didn't see who it was. At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and Zhang Yu shivered. Forget it, he had to go home and change clothes quickly, so as not to catch a cold again.

As for the person who poured water on him, you only need to ask the aunts, aunts and children in your yard, and you will know that it is almost the same.

At that time, it would be fine if he accidentally splashed water on him. If it was intentional, Zhang Yu showed a stern smile, and he would let him know why the flowers are so red.

"Ah!" Zhang Yu sneezed, and the most important thing until now is to go back and take off the wet clothes, warm up, and put on dry clothes, so as not to catch a cold.

After wearing a wet suit, he went back to the yard.

And passing through the middle of the yard, people who saw him said one after another: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

"Yeah, how did you get all the water in this winter?"

"Go home, go home, change clothes quickly, get a body of water, don't catch a cold." Hearing the neighbor's shout, he hurried out.She looked at Zhang Yu who was wet all over, and wanted to drag him into the house quickly.

Zhang Yu replied angrily: "I don't know what happened. I was splashed with water as soon as I stepped out of the gate."

"Who splashed it? It's so vile, it's winter and people are splashed with water."

Zhang Yu smiled helplessly: "I don't know who it is. When I passed by, the person had already run away."

At this time, several aunts and aunts in the courtyard followed him to condemn the man, and then patted their chests and promised: "Xiaoyu, you go back and change your clothes first, and leave this matter to the aunts. We will definitely deal with it." Find out who it is."

"Then thank you all."

"Thank you, thank you, they are all from the same courtyard."

Then Zhang Yu was dragged into the room by Zhang Guifang. She pulled his clothes with her hands and was about to take them off.

While protecting his clothes, Zhang Yu said, "Sister-in-law, I will do it myself, I will do it myself."

Zhang Guifang didn't listen to him and continued to tug and said, "I'm sorry I didn't see you at this time, stop moaning, take it off quickly, and lie down on the bed."

"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself, I've grown up." Zhang Yu struggled desperately, finally breaking free from his sister-in-law's grasp.

Zhang Guifang looked at it and smiled, and then said: "You have to hurry up if you come by yourself." Then she turned her head away, "Get off quickly, I won't look at you."

Zhang Yu quickly took off his wet clothes and got into the bed.

The sister-in-law filled two warm water bags and put him under the bed. "Nuan Nuan, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it."

Then he opened the stove and sealed the door, let the fire in the stove flourish, and put the small pot on it.I cut a few slices of ginger and boiled ginger water with brown sugar.

Then he brought ginger water to the bedside, looked at Zhang Yu who was shivering from the cold, and said, "Drink it quickly, to drive away the cold."

Zhang Yu took it and drank it. Watching him drink the ginger water, Zhang Guifang tucked him in the quilt, and then washed the wet clothes he took off with water.

Zhang Yu looked at her red hands from the cold and said: "Sister-in-law, you can leave it there, I will wash it another day when the sun is out in the morning. It is so cold today, your hands are red from the cold."

Zhang Guifang turned her head and said, "It's just a matter of a handful of water, and it will be washed right away."

After washing, put a basin under the house to catch the water, and prepare to let it drip for a while. In this weather, wet clothes will freeze after hanging outside for a while.

When the water is almost dripping, put the clothes away, even if you put them inside the house, it won't work in the current weather. After such a short time, the clothes will be frozen solid.

It’s like this when it’s cold. It’s not easy to dry the clothes after washing. Zhang Guifang found out the drying basket from the corner. The drying basket was shaped like a bamboo basket. He turned it upside down on the stove and spread the wet clothes on the drying basket to dry. .

Even with a low heat, the clothes may burn after a long time, so my sister-in-law has been watching and turning them over from time to time.
