Chapter 9: Confusion and Cheer Up
After Li Qing finished the meal, it was almost noon, and Li Qing went out to call them in for dinner.
Li Qing's cooking skills are very good, and today's meal is filled with spiritual spring water, which has a strong fragrance.
They're hungry for a long time, they're just too embarrassed to say it.
Li Qing asked them to sit down, took out a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and placed them on the table.
The first cooked is the braised pork, which is so oily and shiny, red, as if it will rot when it is clamped, and it is even more fragrant when sprinkled with shallots, which melts in the mouth, how to make it delicious.
The boiled fish is spicy and tender, and the soup added to the boiled fish is a broth made from chicken and fish bones, which is delicious but not greasy.
The spicy chicken is extremely spicy, the spicier it is, the more fragrant it is, and people can't help but eat it one bite after another.........
In short, this lunch was very satisfying, and even Li Lie, who had always been relatively cold, ate with a mouth full of oil, and praised it for being delicious.
After lunch, the work was almost finished, there was not much to do, just to make up for the house, Li Qing himself would too, but he was afraid that others would doubt him, so he didn't do it.
After Li Qing waited for them to leave, he took a closer look at the house, and it was very well repaired, all of it was fixed with wooden planks, and the leaky area was also covered with tiles.
Li Qing also asked the uncle to help them get a few fences and fence off the backyard and the vegetable patches on the left and right.
There were a few fences left, and Li Qing was enclosed in a thatched hut next to the bamboo forest, where Li Qing was going to raise chickens and lambs.
After all, livestock have some taste, Li Qing often drinks spiritual spring water, and his sense of smell is much better than others, but he really can't stand it.
Don't look at Li Qing as a rural child, but he has a slight cleanliness habit, no one else knows about this except himself.
The rabbit caught by Li Qing in the trap last time was skinned and skinned, and he asked Li Lie to bring it back and get it done. You can make a few chair cushions.
Looking at the time, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qing put the remaining rabbits and pheasants that had not been eaten, and used salt, pepper and other seasonings to code up, and took them out to dry in a few days to dry the air-dried chicken.
Li Qing looked at the green vegetables on the right that were ripe but couldn't finish eating, and had a headache.
I remembered that kimchi used to be very famous, and kimchi is found in many places, and Korean kimchi is especially famous.
And what Li Qing wants to do is not Korean kimchi, but Sichuan kimchi,
Making kimchi is easy to say, but it needs to be made by experienced people to be delicious.
First, remove the old leaves and yellow leaves of the fresh greens, wash and drain the water, and soak in 15% table salt solution for 3 days.
(Soaking in salt for three days can remove the bitterness and astringency of the greens) remove the roots and yellow leaves of the garlic seedlings, wash the celery and drain the water, put the soaked greens into the jar on the one hand, and evenly put the garlic seedlings, celery, spices and other ingredients (celery and garlic seedlings are to prevent the pickles from whitening and adding color) (the spices are pepper, star anise, chili pepper and bay leaves), and then pour in the old salt water, cover the altar cover, mix the water along the altar, soak for 15 days to mature.
Li Qing was afraid that what he made would not be delicious, so he took out two cups of spiritual spring water from the space and poured them into the jar. Then move the jar to a cool place and wait for 15 days before eating.
In the sky, the sun seemed to be about to set, and the setting sun was setting, and the afterglow reflected on half of the hillside, as if it was about to burn, which was beautiful.
Li Qing moved a chair and put it in the yard, lying on it, half-squinting, enjoying this rare leisure time, enjoying this rare beautiful scenery, comfortable and lazy. Li Qing fell asleep when he looked at it,
He dreamed that his father, mother, and younger siblings were living well, and that there seemed to be no pain in losing his eldest son;
I dreamed of my former classmates, who had their own families and lives, and occasionally got together to mention him as the class president;
I dreamed of my former partner, the business was still the same, and occasionally I might think of the young man who provided them with high-quality vegetables;
Life goes on, people are still busy with money and fame, the earth is still the same rotation, and no one can live without it.
There doesn't seem to make much difference whether there is him or not in the world.
Li Qing is like a bystander, looking at the world he once lived, he can only see, but not speak.
The taste of it cannot be understood without experience.
It's already the middle of the night, and the night that is about to enter winter is extremely cold.
Li Qing woke up from the cold, and when he woke up, he found that it was just a dream, and when he woke up from the dream, there was nothing.
His face was cold, and when he reached out and touched it, it turned out that his face was wet with tears.
Li Qing was a little in a trance and a little confused. Whoever somehow comes to another world, his heart is always uneasy,
Li Qing is also a mortal, so naturally he can't be an exception, but he has been thinking about how to live these days and hasn't shown it.
Alone tonight, I slept in the yard, and woke up with nothing but insects, rats and birds, only a lonely moon hanging on the vast starry sky, only beauty and appreciation, and other than that, loneliness and loneliness.
Life goes on, whether you live well or badly, it doesn't have much to do with others.
God is fair, although he let himself come to this strange place, but he also gave himself space, with space, not to say that he is the king of the world, he can also have no worries about food and clothing.
The world will not take any special care of you because you are doing well or badly, birth, old age, sickness and death are all human beings who cannot escape their fate.
Li Qing wiped his face, opened the knot in his heart, and cheered up.
At this time, Li Qing no longer had the confusion and loneliness just now, and only had a vision for the future and hope for life.
Li Qing looked up at the sky, it was still the lonely moon just now, there was still only the cry of insects, rats, birds and beasts, or the cold autumn wind, but his mood was already different.
Li Qing didn't enter the house, he still lay on the chair and looked at Gu Yue, only admiring, not confused.
When Li Qingzheng was enjoying this quiet atmosphere, he seemed to hear something, "Sisi...... "The voice came from the backyard,
Li Qing got up and walked to the backyard, but the scene that caught his eyes made Li Qing's scalp numb and goosebumps.
