Chapter 11 Rules of Survival (2)
The next morning, Du Yunyang boiled hot water as usual, and after washing, he kneaded all the last remaining coarse noodles in the crockpot into dough, put in the leaven, and waited for it to make a whole steamed bun. As for breakfast www.biquge.info there is still about one bowl of crushed chestnut rice left at home, which is just enough to be boiled into a thick and thin porridge. Then heat up the roe deer broth left over from yesterday, and there are still some pieces of meat in it, and then put in some dried wild vegetables and radish strips to boil vegetables, and you can still eat with porridge.
It's just that there is no next meal after this meal, but it is not comfortable. The roe deer meat that is being cured for the sake of the bacon cannot be moved. There is no other food at home, and Du Yunyang has nothing in his hand. It seems that in the past two days, I have to rely on wild vegetable nests to fill my stomach, but after this dough is ready, I can only steam out two grates at most, and I can't do too much, so I have to find a way.
"Sister, why don't you go to my aunt's house." It is not difficult for Du Yuncheng to see his sister's distress, after all, he is very clear about the situation at home, and he is also a little distressed that he still can't do anything now, and he can't share some of it for her. And he actually has a way to improve his life, but because the time is not ripe, he can't use it for the time being. He had to be so tired that his sister had to work hard for some time.
"My aunt's family is not rich, and my uncle is that kind of person......" Du Yunyang shook her head and said after hearing this, why didn't she want to go to Du Liniang, after all, in addition to her younger brother, her aunt is the closest person. And Du Liniang has always been good to their sisters and brothers. Even the last dowry was sold for their family, how could she be embarrassed to embarrass her again.
Thinking of this, Du Yunyang suddenly thought, should I go up the mountain again? Maybe this time she is still lucky and can't stop it? I just glanced at the heavy snow outside the door, but I was timid, so forget it. In this blizzard, if there is any danger, it is not worth it.
However, since he couldn't think of a good idea for a while, Du Yunyang decided not to think about it for the time being, but went to the stove to get busy, and made breakfast after a while. Then it was served and brought into the east room, where the sisters and brothers ate.
After eating a good meal, Du Yuncheng got up a little early in the morning, so he was tired and yawned. His body is still very weak, so it is best to rest more, and Du Yunyang let him make up for sleep. Du Yuncheng didn't hold on, he understood that his biggest task now was to quickly take care of his body, so he fell asleep again.
After Du Yunyang saw that his younger brother was asleep, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went to look at the roe deer meat he had marinated yesterday.
It is also important to marinate the meat before making bacon, and on the first day of salting, some pieces of meat will have blood deposits, and those blood will also be mixed with seasonings. There is no need to pour it out, you only need to turn the meat over, and it is turned up and down once a day, so that the salty meat will have a moderate salty flavor in the future. Then turn it again tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it will be ready to smoke.
After turning over the meat, Du Yunyang went to look at the dough again and found that it may be because of the cold weather, and the dough has not yet risen. She thought that she should drink more hot water when it was cold, so she added water and boiled some boiling water in the pot.
I just thought about how to spend this winter, thinking that even if my younger brother got better later, they would go to the town to sell the roe deer skins, and it was estimated that they would not be able to get enough food and clothing. Besides, it's going to be the New Year again, and I'm afraid they won't be able to afford it even a year. Also, what about the days before the bacon is ready, and before the roe deer skins are sold for money? Is it difficult to achieve it by relying on a small two grates of miscellaneous grains and coarse noodles to nest the head?
Just when Du Yunyang was worried, there was a knock on the door.
Du Yunyang felt strange, who would come over early in the morning? However, she still hurriedly ran to the courtyard to take a look, but through the low courtyard wall and the tattered firewood, she saw two people, one high and one low, both with umbrellas, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.
Walked two steps forward and opened the door, only then did he despise the two people outside the door, in fact, they were only half-grown children. One of the tallest was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen, with a delicate and gentle face, wearing a brocade and blue robe, wearing a light blue scarf, and dressed like a rich boy. Looking at the next one, it was a girl who was about the same age as Du Yunyang, or a year younger, with some baby fat on her fair face, and she was wearing a plum-red cloak with folded branches and flowers, which made her face flush and fluttering, which was very cute.
Du Yunyang saw that the two people in front of him were dressed extraordinarily, and they must not be ordinary people, but after carefully searching the memories in his mind, he was a little unfamiliar.
But she didn't know anyone, but they knew her, so she only heard the young man look at Du Yunyang very elegantly, and then asked with a smile: "May I ask if this is Du Wenyuan and Mr. Du's house?" ”
"Yes, yes." Du Yunyang was stunned for a moment, and then replied, Wen Yuan is the word of her father Du Yizhi, it turns out that these two people are here to find her father, no wonder she doesn't know each other.
"In Xia Xu Yunqi, it is the San Lang of the Xu family in the city, and this is the sister Xu Yunqiao." This young man, that is, Xu Yunqi was still a little puzzled when he saw Du Yunyang after speaking, so he hurriedly said: "My clan is from Xujia Village, so I often come back. So I come to thank you, I don't know if Mr. Du is at home? ”
"......" Du Yunyang understood now, so he said sadly: "I'm sorry, my father passed away due to illness not long ago." ”
"What?" Xu Yunqi's gentle smile instantly turned into surprise, and then he also said with a sad face: "I didn't expect that Mr. has already died, it's a pity and a pity that I didn't have time to pour him a cup of tea." ”
"My father must be pleased to see that someone remembers him so much in the spirit of heaven." Du Yunyang said comfortingly, and then accidentally caught a glimpse of the girl next to him, Xu Yunqiao
It seems that he is a little impatient, and Xiao Baozi's face seems to be a little red from the cold. So he said embarrassedly: "Look at me, I forgot to invite guests into the house, I was really lazy." ”
"It's okay, I'm going to ask if I can go in and get a stick of incense into Mr.'s spiritual seat?" Xu Yunqi asked, but he secretly looked at Mr. Du's daughter. I saw that she was as old as her sister Qiao'er, although she was a little yellow and thin, but her big eyes were very smart. Dressed in a simple plain, probably because the weather is too cold, he is a little bloated, but he still looks very thin. And she speaks eloquently, not at all like a woman from a small family, but thinking about it, how can a character like Mr. Du be the same as ordinary people's daughters.
"Of course you can, it's just that the family is simple, and I hope you don't dislike it." Du Yunyang said, opened the door and invited the two of them in.
"How dare you dislike the residence of the gentleman, then it will be disturbing." Xu Yunqi said and said to the back: "Bring the things in." As soon as he finished speaking, someone answered, and Du Yunyang found that a carriage was parked not far from her house, and in addition to the groom, there was also an entourage and maid there. It was the attendant who answered, and when he had finished speaking, he took a few large boxes of things from the carriage and came with the maid with them.
