Chapter 516: Burning the Fire
Forget it, in the past, Chi Taotao might have thought of stepping forward and asking her to see if she had any misunderstanding with herself, but now Chi Taotao doesn't want to do this.
I haven't crossed paths with her, and I don't know where her hostility towards her came from, but it will definitely take a lot of effort to get rid of it.
She doesn't have time to be a virgin, so that everyone is comfortable, and she doesn't have the ability to make everyone like herself, she can do whatever she likes, and she has nothing to do with her anyway.
When I arrived in front of Li Rang's room, I knocked on the door, and Li Rang opened the door and let her in.
As soon as Chi Taotao came in, she found that there was still an unclosed book on the table. I think Li Rang was reading a book just now.
Yu Guang glanced at it, and Chi Taotao found that this room, although it was abandoned before, the furniture was still relatively complete, and Li Rang also cleaned it up.
"Sister Chi, let's go to the kitchen. Li Rang was not polite and said directly.
"Good. Chi Tao Tao agreed.
The two of them walked like a kitchen. This house is relatively large, although there is only one floor, but there are many rooms.
Li Rang lives alone in a corner of the courtyard, usually solves his own eating life, and basically has no intersection with the other two girls.
There is also a separate kitchen here, and the two of them went into the kitchen. Chi Taotao realized that Li Rang was really ...... No life experience.
There was no firewood in the kitchen for living, and Chi Taotao couldn't cry or laugh.
"Li Rang, are you planning to let me use air to make a fire?"
Only then did Li Rang realize that he had forgotten to prepare firewood for making a fire. He patted the back of his head and went out to prepare firewood.
Li let himself not prepare firewood, and walked around the yard, but did not find firewood to burn.
Thinking that Chi Taotao was already waiting in the kitchen, it would be too late to go out and find it, so I decided to go to the two girls to borrow a little and pay it back later.
Thinking so, Li Rang had already come to the door of one of the girls.
I knocked on the door, and in a few moments someone came out and opened the door.
It was Zhao Can who opened the door, she was wearing a blue student uniform today, and she looked quite delicate. If Chi Tao Tao was there, she would definitely be able to recognize it, this is the person who stared at her this morning.
Zhao Can saw that it was Li Rang who knocked on the door, and the gloom on his face that had originally appeared because of being disturbed was somewhat relieved.
"Hello, I am a new educated youth not long ago, my name is Li Rang. ”
Li Rang introduced himself first, although he had been here for a few days, he had not dealt with the female intellectual. It was the first time they had spoken.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Can. Is there something wrong with you?"
"That's right, I want to ask you if you have any firewood here? I forgot to prepare it yesterday, and now I'm in a hurry to cook, and I want to borrow a little. ”
Li Rang stated his purpose and reason simply and clearly.
"Wait, I'll ask Sister Jingjing. ”
With that, he walked out of the room, turned around and walked into the next room.
"Sister Jingjing, Li Rang is here. ”
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shen Jing cleaning up the bed, and sat on the chair by Shen Jing's window.
Shen Jing was originally a little dissatisfied when she saw Zhao Can rushing in like this. But after hearing what she said, she was distracted, and even the movements of her hands stopped.
"What did you say? Li Rang, which Li Rang?" Shen Jing was surprised.
"Which one else can it be, of course it's living with us, that newcomer Li Rang. Zhao Can said disapprerovingly.
Shen Jing also guessed that it was probably this Li Rang, but she just wanted to confirm it again.
"What is he doing here?"
"He said he was going to come to us to borrow some firewood, apparently to make a fire for cooking. ”
"What did you say? Did you lend it to him?"
"Of course I don't, I just saw Chi Taotao come in, and the two of them went to the kitchen together. ”
Speaking of this, the expression on Zhao Can's face became a little angry: "That Chi Taotao is married, and she is always with Li Rang......"
"Don't talk about it, he'll borrow firewood, let's lend him some firewood. ”
With that, Shen Jing pulled Zhao Can to stand up and walked out the door.
Zhao Can didn't know what Shen Jing meant at this time, obviously she couldn't see that person, why was she so kind.
Just thinking about it, the two had already walked out of the door, and Li Rang saw the two coming out and nodded to them.
"Hello, I'm Shen Jing. Nice to meet you. ”
"Hello, I'm Li Rang. ”
"Zhao Can didn't know much about the kitchen, so he went to find me, I'll get you some firewood. ”
"Well, thank you. ”
Li Rang took the firewood and walked to his kitchen, and Chi Taotao was still in the kitchen.
Seeing the firewood that Li Rang brought over, Chi Taotao frowned.
"Li Rang, where did you get the firewood?"
"What's wrong? Sister Chi. ”
Seeing Li Rang's blank expression, Chi Taotao sighed in her heart.
"Well, you go to my house for a meal first, and then we'll go out together later, and I'll teach you how to pick firewood. ”
"It's too much trouble for you, Sister Chi. Li Rang felt a little embarrassed and excused himself.
"It's okay, you're here to help me, and it's nothing that I help you. ”
Seeing Chi Taotao say this, Li Rang agreed.
After eating at Chi Taotao's house, Li Rang told Huo Xiangnan some more questions, and Chi Taotao was already waiting for him when it was over.
Chi Momo took Li Rang around the field, introducing the wood that could be used to make a fire as she walked.
Li Rang listened to Chi Taotao's words, and some thoughts came to his heart.
Chi Tao Tao's house is fine, the branches are often cut off in the orchard, and the firewood at home is enough. But if you also rely on the firewood in the field to cook, it is not feasible.
First, I am just an educated youth who comes here to live temporarily, and I don't have my own land, so it's not good to always go to other people's fields to collect firewood.
Second, even if I picked up firewood and went back, most of the firewood could not be used immediately, and there was still water vapor in the branches.
Thinking of this, Li Rang suddenly asked Chi Taotao a question.
"Sister Chi, how is your family's usual food?"
Chi Taotao was confused, and didn't know why he asked that. Subconsciously replied: "It's okay." ”
"Sister Chi, look, why don't I go to your house to eat?" Li Rang finally said his thoughts.
"Huh, you said you were going to my house for dinner?" Chi Taotao didn't react yet.
"Sister Chi, have pity on me. Li Rang paused and continued to work hard.
"Sister Chi, I can be regarded as working for you now, you see, can you take care of your meal? ”
Chi Taotao had never seen Li Rang play like this, she always looked at him seriously before, but she didn't expect this side. But she wasn't so quick to say yes.
Seeing that Chi Taotao didn't speak, Li Rang made persistent efforts: "Sister Chi, look." I live in the village temporarily, and I don't have any land, and whether I can pick up firewood depends on the will of God, can you bear to let me have no food?"
Chi Taotao thought to herself, so she spoke.
"It's not that I can't take you in, but it's not good to come to my house for dinner and let others gossip. ”
"Sister Chi, you can say that I was invited by you to be a teacher for Xiang Nan, and I will be paid for eating at your house, how about it?"
Li Rang thought that he had already agreed to her anyway, and now he could just take it out for his own benefit.
"Okay, then you can come to my house for dinner in the next few days. Chi Taotao was a little reluctant to go, and Li Rang said this, just the best of both worlds.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Chi. ”
The two agreed that there was no need to pick up firewood outside anymore, so they went back to the village together.
Here, Shen Jing was a little disappointed when she saw that Chi Taotao didn't use the firewood she had brought her, and her plan had failed.
Seeing that Li Rang followed Chi Taotao out, and didn't see Li Rang come back for a long time, a resentment rose in his heart. This pond peach is really annoying.
She deliberately gave Li Rang the kind of firewood she took, and the middle of that firewood was a little wet, and it was not easy to find if you weren't careful.
Originally, I wanted to see Chi Taotao make a fool of herself, but after this kind of firewood is lit, there will be a very thick smoke when the fire burns to the middle of the wood, and Li Rang will definitely feel that Chi Taotao will not work.
If she appears at the right time, she can not only take the opportunity to help Li Rang, but also discredit Chi Taotao, destroy Li Rang's good impression of her, and leave a good impression on herself.
Shen Jing began to pay attention to Li Rang as soon as he came.
In Shen Jing's opinion, Li Rang is good-looking, highly educated, and a student of Nancheng University, so he will definitely make a difference in the future.
I haven't talked to him in the past few days, but I see that he is close to Chi Taotao, is he still not as good as the married woman?
Chi Taotao didn't know Shen Jing's thoughts. On this day, Chi Taotao had nothing to do at home, so she called Aunt Liu and Wu Qingling to her house.
It's almost the New Year, and it's okay to be idle at home on this day, so Chi Taotao is thinking about learning to make noodles like Aunt Liu.
Recently, there are no fresh vegetables in the village, and when Huo Jinli comes back next time, he can also make this for him and eat fresh.
Of course, Li Rang was also called. After several people arrived, Aunt Liu began to assign tasks.
Aunt Liu first asked Li Rang to boil water. I also gave them a few explanations, making noodles, and the most important thing is water.
If you want to make a strong, chewy, but too hard and soft kind of noodles, you must use freshly boiled water and noodles.
Freshly boiled water must be boiled on the fire all the time, and it can be used directly after boiling, not in the thermos.
Secondly, the ratio of water to surface must also be mastered, and 1:1 must be adjusted well. Aunt Liu also handed them a little trick.
You can pour the noodles into the basin first, push the noodles to one side with a shovel, occupy half of the position, and pour water on the other side, just the same height as the noodles.
Aunt Liu directly scooped the water with a spoon and poured it into the basin in front of her, and when the water and flour were equal to each other, she began to stir.
Chi Tao Tao and Wu Qingling also did the same, scooping water into their basins.
There are a lot of people today, and they can't hold too many noodles in one basin, and they are all in one basin, so it is too hard to stir people evenly.
Chi Tao Tao directly took three pots, and the three of them made them separately.
