Chapter 448: A Silent Town
Priest Tom heard that there was a second way to eat it, so he decided to wait for the time being until the food was on the table, at least after tasting it himself, otherwise, there would be no reason to persuade Jiang Zhuxiang to give up her idea.
Jiang Zhuxiang saw that Priest Tom did not refuse, so he went to the kitchen to prepare first, there is no ready-made hot pot base here, Jiang Zhuxiang needs to start boiling the soup now, and prepare the red oil pot by the way, this is a more time-consuming thing, Jiang Zhuxiang asked Teng Snake to come in to help, Tao Tao and Qi Qi have already gone out, if other people come into contact with chili peppers for the first time, Jiang Zhuxiang is afraid that they will not be able to adapt to the pungent taste of chili peppers, and then there will only be sneezes in the kitchen.
Teng Snake was still a little curious about how Jiang Zhuxiang's bowl of noodles at noon was made, and when he was looking at the soup pot, he was also watching how Jiang Zhuxiang prepared the red oil pot.
Looking at the red and bright peppers in the pot, the stimulating taste was emitted under the heat of the oil, Teng Snake held back the itch in his nose, watched the oil begin to take on the color of the chili pepper, and at the same time the unique taste of chili peppers appeared in the kitchen, Teng Snake snorted, this is the most important taste of the bowl of noodles at noon, and then saw Jiang Zhuxiang began to scoop up the chili peppers in the pot, because of the previous reminder of Priest Tom, Jiang Zhuxiang still decided not to let him see the chili peppers in this soup, so that the spicy taste can also be reduced psychologically.
Jiang Zhuxiang stopped the fire in this pot and looked at the pot that Teng Snake was looking at, because it was the first time to prepare a hot pot for the people on this piece, Jiang Zhuxiang's soup base chose the fish soup that was easier for them to accept, put enough green onions and ginger, and put some rice wine in his personal space, this rice wine is still his previous collection, it was originally for people to drink, but now when he goes out, there are no people who drink this wine, Jiang Zhuxiang will use it to cook first.
Seeing that the pot had begun to tumble, Jiang Zhuxiang turned down the heat and let it boil slowly, and then just come in after a while to have a look, but there was no need to stay in this very hot kitchen all the time.
Jiang Zhuxiang proposed to go out first, Teng Snake listened to Jiang Zhuxiang's explanation and had no objection, as a cold-blooded animal, he still didn't like this hot environment, so it was okay to go out.
Jiang Zhuxiang closed the kitchen door, there were no other windows in the kitchen, Jiang Zhuxiang didn't have to worry about other people making trouble, so he went to see what Priest Tom was doing.
In the afternoon, Priest Tom arranged for the children to learn the stories in the Bible and let the older children teach the children to learn words, Jiang Zhuxiang came out and faintly heard the sound of the children talking, and when he turned around, he saw that the hall that was originally used for prayer has now been occupied by the children, a little lively but no one is lazy, they are all learning seriously.
It's just that Jiang Zhuxiang didn't see anyone coming to pray in the morning, Jiang Zhuxiang asked Priest Tom who was standing on the side a little curiously: "Is there anyone else living in this town?" ”
Priest Tom came over when he saw Jiang Zhuxiang coming, and knew that Jiang Zhuxiang should have questions to ask himself, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhuxiang to ask such a serious question, so Priest Tom beckoned the eldest child here to come over, gave him a few words, let him take care of the other children, and then motioned Jiang Zhuxiang to go to the living room on the side, this kind of topic is not suitable for discussion here.
Jiang Zhuxiang didn't expect Priest Tom to be so formal, and all he wanted to know about this question was why no one came to the church to pray, and now he had to go with him, Teng Snake saw Jiang Zhuxiang come out, so he consciously followed Jiang Zhuxiang's footsteps and sat on the chair in the living room with them.
Priest Tom could also understand Teng Snake's caution, and did not drive it out, poured two glasses of water for the two of them, and then began to say things that Jiang Zhuxiang was interested in: "There were still people in the town before, but when the end of the world began to be serious, people left one after another, most of the people who left the sea were young people, and now only the old people are still in the town, if you are interested, you can knock on the door yourself, but they are rarely willing to open the door, They are now rarely able to be visited by anyone other than us clergymen, after all, they are all old age that does not want to be disturbed. ”
When Jiang Zhuxiang heard this, he was a little surprised and asked, "Then what do these old people rely on to survive?" In Jiang Zhuxiang's eyes, it was difficult to understand why the young people didn't take the old people away when they left, after all, they would know that the old people left behind by them were not capable of supporting themselves.
Priest Tom was still a little surprised that Jiang Zhuxiang would ask this question, here, it is still normal for young people to leave the old people, and the old people do not have to take the young test to support them, so it is very normal to say: "Living by their own ability, the old people are very experienced, and the old people who stay are all skilled, and there are often people outside who find this town to buy things made by the old people, and some old people with good craftsmanship only need to sell one thing a year, and the contribution value obtained is enough for him to live." "And these old people are people who have survived the early end of the world, and they are still very clear about how to survive in the last days, once the church also offered to help these old people in the town, after the priests came to the door, those old people directly refused, and it was then that Priest Tom knew the ability of those old people, and now the main function of the church is to maintain the health of these old people, which is also the meaning of Priest Tom's church that still exists here.
Jiang Zhuxiang silently accepted this cultural shock, and continued to ask: "Then will they come to the church to pray?" When do they usually come over? Jiang Zhuxiang asked this because he wanted to verify Priest Tom's statement, and wanted to see if these old people who had not inherited the craft were willing to teach themselves a craft or two.
Priest Tom could understand that Jiang Zhuxiang didn't know about this prayer time, after all, they were not religious believers, and they were also from other fragments, but he still admonished: "Just ask this question here, don't ask it in front of others, otherwise they will have opinions, and the usual time to come to church to pray is Sunday morning." "Although Priest Tom is also a devout believer, he is not as radical as others, so he reminds Jiang Zhuxiang like this.
Jiang Zhuxiang still couldn't understand why he couldn't ask other people at first, but after slowly getting in touch with other people, he also knew what Priest Tom's worries were, of course, this is a later story, not to mention for the time being, during this conversation, Tao Tao and Qi Qi began to rush back, Jiang Zhuxiang received a message that they were coming back.
