Chapter 18: Before the Rain

Pei Yao finally ate the first dumpling in another world, and her strong sense of happiness was overflowing.

Good things to share with her partners, she hummed a song and added a bowl of black rice noodles to the dumpling soup, and several crushed dumplings, and called to the fat dog: "Your Majesty, please eat!" ”

Duoduo ignored her convulsions and ate happily!

After solving the gluttony, Pei Yao was in the mood to take out the big pile of things that were frantically purchased in the bazaar and return them to their places.

The large and small intestines are placed in a stone pot, which is itself turned upside down, washed with plant ash, rinsed with water and rubbed with black noodles to be clean.

First, add a small amount of sweet and sour soy sauce to the large intestine and throw it into an iron pot to boil.

The small intestine is used to make sausages, except for a small piece of dumplings, the remaining pork belly is peeled and diced, marinated with sweet and sour soy sauce and garlic and ginger for one night, left to be poured into the small intestine the next day, and dried in the shade for half a month is the sausage.

After processing the ingredients, I continued to turn over the rattan basket, took out the oil lamp, and put it on the wall of the bedroom, a raised rock, which was very flat and stable.

The oil lamp can be lit in the cave and the bedroom, and with the oil lamp, you can move the needle and thread at night if you have nothing to do, or it is too early to sleep.

Other small groceries such as plates and plates are placed on a small shelf by the hole, and the jar is washed inside and out to dry for later use.

When I was washing the jar, I suddenly remembered that I had saved a lot of black eggs at home, and I couldn't finish it for a while, so I pickled it up and salted it into salted eggs.

Don't waste the jar, mix it with yellow mud and salt, and then wrap the eggs one by one with salt mud, put them in the rattan basket for storage, and you can eat salted eggs with flowing oil for a month.

The tossing inside and outside the Pei Yao Cave cleaned up the things that were piled up when he was busy.

All kinds of dried herbs and vegetables were placed in relatively light straw baskets, neatly arranged on the highest part of the bamboo shelf next to the bedroom, and she was going to put the dried and tasteless stocks in the bedroom, and the fruits and dried meat in the innermost row.

The cabbage and radishes that were retrieved at the end of autumn were arranged in a row on the farthest shelf opposite the bedroom. Pei Yao is afraid that the ventilation is not good in winter, and these dishes will get wet.

It's been almost an hour, and the fat intestines are also soft and rotten, and they are cooled and cut into sections for stir-fry in the evening.

Looking at the position of the sun, it is about one o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is hot and hot, but the air is a little dull and damp, which makes people's chests stuffy.

If you look closely, you can see that all the fish in the waterhole are breathing with their mouths exposed, spitting bubbles.

There are also ground ants building dikes on their nests. Pei Yao's heart sank, this is the rhythm of rain.

Look at the yard full of dried herbs, put away the dry ones first, and the herbs that are dried later are still a little damp under the spread, turn them over and dry them again in the sun.

The shelves near the waterhole were full of dried fish and dried meat, all of which were put away and carried into the cave in rattan baskets.

It didn't take long for nothing in the yard except for the small patch of herbs on the rocks.

Pei Yao stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around, what else was there to do?

In a blink of an eye, I saw the firewood collected in the bamboo shed for nearly a month, and the wood was all dead branches and dead trees picked up in Beishan, and in order to facilitate the dragging down the mountain, the whole tree and branches were all tidyed up, and this should also be sorted out.

Sitting under the shed, she opened a bundle of firewood, put a wooden stake under the firewood, and used a firewood knife to cut all the firewood into an arm's length and pile it in the bamboo shed.

In the afternoon, all the firewood is chopped and bundled into small bundles and trampled into firewood. Looking at the results of his afternoon, he stomped on waist-high firewood, and the top half was a bundle of sun-dried thatch. The thatch is about to be roofed, although the thatch is not resistant to burning, but she wants to keep it for lighting the fire or weaving the curtain, and it may not be long before the frost falls, and the door of the cave can not stop the wind with a rattan door alone.

These firewood and grass are not enough to survive the winter and have to be stored, although there are some stored in the cave, but it is probably enough to burn for a month.

When it got dark and the wind was blowing, Pei Yao took Duoduo to hide in the cave and take care of the vine gate.

Listening to the rustling of the wind in the woods outside, the cave was quiet only the faint crackling of firewood, and she felt peaceful and precipitated in her heart.

After making a plate of fried chili peppers with fat intestines and a bowl of thick quinoa rice porridge, after eating a hot and spicy delicious dinner, I sat next to the fire with Fei Duoduo in my arms.

He found all his money and counted them.

There are more than 8 taels of silver for selling herbs, and there are not a few copper plates left to sell game before, all of which are used to buy grain, so that all of his net worth is more than 8 taels.

Every time I go to the market, the money from selling mountain goods is enough to buy something, and the silver is hidden and kept in case it is useful in special circumstances. Looking at the full but not messy cave, Pei Yao thought, where is the silver hidden?

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and there was a deep groove in the rock wall of the bedroom near the top. Usually there is light in the cave during the day, and the top wall of the bedroom is not very bright, she also found it when she stood on the bed and stretched her waist, and accidentally crooked to the side and touched the wall, that's it!

Using the cotton head used as underwear, he simply sewed a money bag, packed it with silver, climbed up to the bedroom and hid it in the rock wall, and carefully pressed a rock to cover it.

On a stormy night, Pei Yao had a dream full of silver......
