Chapter 131: Doubting Life
Rejecting Lu Qing's invitation, Chen Xin packed up her things and went downstairs.
There is also a chess and card room in the farmhouse, and students who don't like to climb the mountain make an appointment to come here to play poker, and there are six or seven people around.
"Xiaoxin, are you looking for Qin Qing and them? I went to the entrance of the village, and someone was making cold cakes on the spot. ”
"Okay, I'll take a look. ”
I followed the guide to the entrance of the village, and saw a grandmother pushing the stone mill under the old yellow horn tree at the entrance of the village, and a few people squatted next to her.
Grandma's stone mill is not big, one hand can be rotated, the left hand pushes the grind and the right hand scoops the rice, and the gray-white rice milk flows out along the grinding groove and converges into the plastic bucket under the stone mill.
Qin Qing and the others had never seen this kind of thing, and they asked curiously, but Grandma didn't seem to understand what they said, no matter how they asked, Grandma only smiled and didn't speak.
Chen Xin had made cold cakes, but at that time she was already a cold cake powder sold in supermarkets, and she had only seen others make this kind of fresh stone-ground rice milk.
"This rice milk should be boiled like soy milk, and then wait for it to solidify?"
Grandma didn't give them a solution, and a few students guessed by themselves.
"What are you doing here?"
"Watch Grandma make cold cakes. Qin Qing pulled Chen Xin and moved her out of a position, "Have you ever eaten this?" ”
"The cold cake is boiled with rice milk and lime water, and when it is cold, it will naturally solidify, and when you eat it, add boiled brown sugar, and it is better to chill it. It's a summer snack from my hometown. ”
After Chen Xin finished speaking, she said hello to her grandmother in her hometown, and sure enough, her grandmother was not a local, she was picked up by her granddaughter to play, and she wanted to make some cold cakes for her family to eat when she had nothing to do. Grandma doesn't speak Mandarin, and rarely chats with people after coming over, and when she hears Chen Xin speak her hometown, she is very happy, she must let Chen Xin wait, she will make a bowl of cold cakes to eat.
"Grandma, do you want to sell this cold cake? My classmates have never eaten it, can you sell me some and let them all taste the food of our hometown?"
Grandma glanced at Chen Xin, then at the little girls squatting next to her, and nodded with a smile.
It is not difficult to make cold cakes, but it is mainly a matter of proportion, more lime water will be very bitter, less and condensation will not form.
"This, must you use lime water?" Looking at Grandma's movements, some classmates began to retreat, "Forget it, I still won't eat it." ”
Chen Xin didn't persuade her, everyone has preferences and taboos, if she persuades others, she can't blame her if there is a problem with eating.
However, in most places, lime water was not used for this, but gelatin slices were chosen, but now glitter slices are only useful in large cake shops and dessert shops, and ordinary people can only use the old way at home.
This bucket of cold cakes will not be finalized until the afternoon, Chen Xin gave the money in advance, and said that she would go to her grandmother's granddaughter's house to pick it up at four o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, a van came, and the people who got out of the car were Senior Sister Wei and a few doctoral students.
"What are you doing here? After making fun of them, Senior Sister Wei came over and pulled Chen Xin, "Accompany me back to the room to clean up first." ”
When she returned to the room, Senior Sister Wei's face sank: "Xiaoxin, do you know about Qin Qing and her fellow countrymen?"
"It's not very clear, understand some. What's wrong?"
Senior Sister Wei muttered something and cursed, then opened the door to look, and after making sure that there was no one outside the door, she pulled Chen Xin to sit down and whispered: "Her fellow countryman got into a fight with someone in the school at noon today, the other party is a person from outside the school, and he is still the section chief of some unit." It seems to be his girlfriend's teaching materials for two boats. But I obviously heard that he was chasing Qin Qing, did he also split his legs? Qin Qing knows?"
Chen Xin smiled bitterly: "I knew that this matter was going to be troublesome." ”
"What's the matter, what do you know?" Senior Sister Wei keenly sensed that Chen Xin had something to say.
"There is nothing between Qin Qing and her fellow countryman, her fellow villager heard that she was in a relationship with a female assistant teacher in the same school, because the woman's family did not agree, the two were afraid that the news would be known by the woman's family and would be blocked, so they asked Qin Qing to be a shield. I knew something was going to happen. ”
At that moment, Chen Xin told the last time she went to the Chenghuang Temple for dinner, she met the female teaching assistant with other men: "Gou Xiangzhi and I both persuaded her to go and talk to her fellow villagers first, and then talk about it later." She seemed to be worried that she would regret her promise and regret it, which would make it difficult for her fellow countrymen, so she never said it. ”
"She's stupid. You go and call her up, you have to take care of this matter, but it hasn't hit her head now, but it's hard to say if it's going to make a big fuss. “
Qin Qing's fellow villagers are not in the same department as them, and the fight has nothing to do with Qin Qing, so no one thought of notifying Qin Qing now. But if things can't be pressed down later, it will be troublesome, at least Qin Qing will passively get involved in that mess because of her "love" relationship with her fellow countryman.
"I think it's better not to call her over now. Chen Xin thought for a while, "Qin Qing has a relatively straight temperament, if she tells her now, she will definitely break out." First, everyone came out to play collectively, and if she was unhappy because of her affairs, it would not be good for her, and second, even if she told her now, it would be useless. Senior sister, you might as well let people pay more attention to the situation over there, I'll talk to Gou Xiangzhi first, so that she has a bottom in her heart, in case of trouble, our side is not completely unprepared. ”
Senior Sister Wei hated these chores the most, and after hearing what Chen Xin said, she simply handed over the task of telling Gou Xiangzhi to her.
"I'm going to discuss things with a few of your brothers and sisters in the past two days, saying that I'm going out to play, but in fact, it's just a meeting in another place, and I'm annoyed. After a few complaints, the two packed up their things and went downstairs to eat.
The classmates who went up the mountain also happened to come back, and they also brought some fresh wild vegetables sold by the farmers on the mountain, and asked the boss to make them to eat.
At noon, everyone ate relatively simple, and after eating, they went to play separately, and several chose to make up for sleep in the farmhouse, and were ridiculed by classmates that they were here to spend money to sleep.
"Xiaoxin, let's go to the mountain. Gangluqing: They said that there are people filming TV series on the mountain. ”
Young people are particularly interested in these, and they also think that if they can meet their favorite stars, maybe they can take a photo and sign a name or something, and it is not in vain to come to this trip.
Hearing that someone was filming a TV series, including the children in the village, they couldn't sit still and ran up the hill in a swarm.
The TV series was filmed at a scenic spot halfway up the mountain. It's been fenced off for a long time, and tourists can't go there, and they don't even think about signing autographs or anything. It's nice to be able to lie down on a high place and take a look.
Chen Xin didn't have much interest in this, and after watching it for a while, she found that it was actually a local drama made by a local TV station, which didn't arouse any interest to her at all.
However, in the crowd of filming, she seemed to see a somewhat familiar person, and suddenly doubted life.
