At this time, the traffic is very inconvenient, and the people who come from outside are considered knowledgeable people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As long as people are reliable, they are especially respected.

The Stone Widow actually knows a lot, but she never cares about these things. As long as the sky doesn't fall, or it doesn't fall and doesn't crush their mother and daughter, she doesn't care.

People's hearts are very complicated, and Widow Stone has always known that without such a big heart and ability, she can't meddle in things.

As for what Ji Ran was going to do, Widow Shi wouldn't care. She was just curious about how such a character could live in their house.

It's just that curiosity is curiosity, she won't say a word, and she won't let Xiaoxi ask more.

From the appearance of thin fish to the real arrival of the drought, it will only take about ten days.

First it stopped raining a drop in the sky, then the sun got hotter and hotter, and the days got longer and longer.

The water level of the Yellow River is getting lower day by day.

The animals on the rocky mountain had long since chased the water source, and the grass on the mountain soon turned yellow, and the trees became bare.

After all, Shimen Town is next to the river, and there is no shortage of water, not to mention that it has dealt with it in advance.

There are many residents on Kejishi Mountain, and there are almost no people who usually go down the mountain to get water.

There have been major droughts in the past, but there is a spring on the mountain and a small lake on the top of the mountain, so even in the driest year before, it has never dried up.

Carrying water up from the foot of the mountain is not an easy task.

Therefore, when various factors are combined, there are many people who have a fluke mentality.

When the drought occurred quickly, people began to be busy carrying water, and Shimen Town became very lively for a while.

There is only one tavern in the town, the Stone Widow, so there are many people who come to rest.

"Boss, give me a pot of wine, a steamed bun and a plate of pickles."

"Hostess, bring me a bowl of wine and a portion of your No. 1 set meal."

Because there were suddenly a lot more people eating and drinking, the tavern was too busy for a while.

The stone widow had to deal with all the people, taking note of the needs and pouring the wine. And Xiaoxi is responsible for preparing the meal, and even if she is capable, she is only a ten-year-old girl.

To save effort, she made a list of regular sets and wrote them in limestone on the yellow earthen wall of the tavern courtyard.

Rice with one or two dishes, the big pot is fried together in advance, only need to be warmed, and when someone comes, scoop it directly.

The price of the package is half cheaper than that of a la carte, which is affordable and convenient.

As soon as it was launched, it was very popular, and many people even bought set meals to take home to eat, saving the effort of cooking.

The stone widow has been smiling so hard that her face hurts for the past two days, and she has never thought of making a refugee fortune.

But it is neither a crime nor a mutual benefit, and it is a fool not to earn money.

Xiaoxi's cooking skills are very good at this time.

When the Yellow River was scooped up, it quickly turned into half a bucket of sand. If there is a way, they will drag their families to find water. There is no way, and they are still stocking up on as much water and food as possible.

The tavern had only been open for a few days, and then began to reduce the supply every day, and although they had a lot of stock, they could not guarantee how long the drought would last.

When they were free, they found that Ji Ran hadn't shown up for many days.

Widow Shi couldn't ask for it, she didn't want Xiaoxi and Ji Ran to have too much contact.

Xiaoxi just felt that he was begging to live in vain, even in the name of work, but they were so busy that they couldn't see his figure.

I was used to the two of them before, but I was used to it, and whether there was him or not actually didn't have much to do with her.

It's just this style that makes her suddenly angry.

The drought has arrived, and a bucket of water in the Yellow River is not even a knuckle deep.

The main entrance to the tavern was locked, and only the small side door next to the courtyard was left for them to enter and exit by themselves.

Xiaoxi goes to bed early at night and wakes up at dawn every day.

When he got up, he dressed himself and pushed open the door, just as he was going to make breakfast as usual.

As a result, in the gray courtyard, a tall figure was facing her door, and I don't know how long she stood there, and she frightened the stream.

The figure saw the door open and took two steps in front of her before she saw that it was Ji Ran.

"You're scaring me! What are you doing standing here early in the morning? ”

Ji Ran was dressed in a bamboo-blue robe, Yushu was in the wind, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and after he was not so haggard at this time, he showed the calm attitude of a noble young man.

He stood still about half a foot in front of her, too close for her to dislike, too far for him to like.

"I'll wait for you here."

"Wait for me? What are I waiting for? ”

Naturally, because he missed you, Ji Ran thought that as soon as he came here, he didn't have time to deal with anything, so he hurriedly ran to her.

In order to stay, she also found a lame excuse, so she could only deceive the child, but she still believed it.

It's just that he still has some things that he can't tell her. Therefore, it is not possible to tell the truth rashly.

"I was invited by the mayor of the town, and I was busy for a while, and when I was free, I came to look for you."

"Oh, then you don't have to wait at the door before dawn, when you wake up, it's not too late to find me again."

"Well, I can't sleep anyway when I wake up. What are you going to do today? ”

"Nothing to do."

Xiaoxi walked towards the kitchen and saw that Ji Ran was still following behind, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'll help you."

"No, you don't! I don't do anything for breakfast. ”

Xiaoxi said no, but after Ji Ran entered the kitchen, she sat down and consciously lit the fire, which made her a lot happier.

Of all the cooking links, what she hates the most is the fire.

The earthen stove that was built up was not very well ventilated, and she didn't like it very much that she couldn't control the fire of the firewood after being burned by the smoke.

But breakfast, it really doesn't matter.

A pot of porridge, a few flatbreads and a plate of pickles.

Ji Ran's appearance of burning the fire was not sloppy at all, and the controlled fire was exactly what she needed.

When Ji Ran first came before, she cooked a meal with her, and she knew that he could do this.

However, isn't the gentleman a distant cook?

"Did you use to cook for yourself a lot?"

"Once upon a time when I was with my mother, she cooked, and I lit the fire."

"Oh, then why did you get here alone?"

Xiaoxi regretted it after asking, if it weren't for the hardship, who would want to run outside.

But Ji Ran did not hesitate, and replied seriously: "When I was a child, I lived with my mother, and she was not in good health, so I helped with everything at home. She died when I was eight years old, and I was picked up by my father, who left me out because of some big changes in my family. ”

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have asked you that. ”

Xiaoxi really wasn't interested in his privacy, he just said it in passing.

She knew what Widow Shi had warned her, and she was afraid that Ji Ran would say something inconvenient to hear, so she continued: "It's rare for you to be at home, I'll make you some new tricks, and you'll be idle anyway." (To be continued.) )
