It turns out that mud is not as good as iron.

The iron pot of the remaining grain burned red, cooled down and returned to its original state, while the muddy pit wall burned out after several days of continuous burning. Not only did there crack an obvious gap, but the color was also wrong, and there was no gray-white hard lump as Lu Xiaoyi expected, but a faint yellow.

Despite his mental preparations, Lu Xiaoyi was still very frustrated, and reluctantly smiled: "It's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip it out, Brother Liang, you wait a while, I'll invite you to eat scones." ”

Yu Liang nodded, Lu Xiaoyi pressed a fist-sized dough prepared in advance (pulled off the dough at home while Yulan was unprepared) into a pancake shape, and then pressed the dough to the pit wall with a homemade small round pillow, fortunately, the dough was stained.

Lu Xiaoyi asked Yu Liang to help cover the mouth of the pit, sat next to it and waited quietly, as for how long she waited, she didn't know how long she wanted to wait, so she took out an incense stick prepared in advance and lit it, which was counted as a simple timekeeping tool.

After a stick of incense, the remaining grain helped her uncover it, Lu Xiaoyi looked into the pit, her heart was broken, the dough that was obviously sticking to the pit wall just now rolled into the charcoal fire at the bottom of the pit, and when she took it out, she had been scorched more than half, and the remaining half was also miserable.

When you get closer, you can smell the wheat smell of scones, but when you break it open, it is raw.

It's not that easy, it's only on paper, it's really not easy to copy, it's hard to make money, it's really ...... There were too many sure enough, and Lu Xiaoyi sat back on the small stool in frustration.

Seeing that she was depressed, Yu Liang stepped forward to take the scones, broke off the blackened parts, wiped the rest clean, broke a piece of bread with ripe edges and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, the taste was very good, it was the kind of wheat fragrance that was slowly roasted by the firewood.

"It's delicious." Break a piece of the surplus grain and give it to Lu Xiaoyi, then eat everything that can be eaten, and said slowly: "Think about it again, what's the problem?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi had never seen the most authentic homemade naan pit in Xinjiang in her previous life, and she had only seen the finished naan pit bought by her roommate's family a few times, so if she really wanted to say what the problem was, she couldn't say clearly. I always feel that I have come to the door close to the truth, and I only need a reminder to solve all the problems.

Lu Xiaoyi couldn't wait to draw circles on the top of his head with his fingers like Ikyu.

Yu Liang soothed: "It's useless to be anxious, you have to calm down and think slowly, I don't know who you learned the method from, since someone does it, you just think about the pit dug by others, the mud of others, the time of baking by others, the dough of others, etc., is there any difference between what we do?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled gratefully, tried his best to calm down, combined with all the memories of the naan pit in his previous life, and then compared the naan pit actually dug in this life, and compared it one by one according to the words of the remaining grain, and analyzed it little by little.

When comparing the soil, Lu Xiaoyi seemed to open the door to success, but she ignored a very important factor, that is, the climate of the two places is different and the soil quality is different.

Due to the long sunshine hours, perennial drought and little rainfall, the Gobi Desert is full of weathered gravel blocks, showing grayish and white, dark red or dark multi-colored luster. Except for saline-alkali tolerant plants such as camel thorn and sea buckthorn, there are no other delicate plants that grow, and where is the soil as fertile as Xiaxi Village.

Northwest people use local materials and know how to use alkaline soil to make naan pits, which must be something that other soil qualities cannot be replicated.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyi stood up suddenly, his eyes lit up with green light, and he was almost like the she-wolf in the firewood room, and said to himself: "Why am I so stupid!" How could I be so stupid! Then he burst out laughing.

Yu Liang stretched out his hand and dangled it in front of her eyes, worried that she would fall into a daze.

Lu Xiaoyi was overjoyed, grabbed Yu Liang's hand, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Liang, I know what's wrong, thanks to you for reminding me, thank you!" ”

Yu Liang was completely frightened by Lu Xiaoyi's actions, and no matter how old she was, holding a teenager's hand like this and rubbing and pinching it, would it be too Meng Lang, uh~ Will the word Meng Lang be used too much, she is still a child! Yu Liang was entangled in his heart, and his face was as red as a cranberry in the summer mountain forest, and he forgot to withdraw his hand.

Lu Xiaoyi gradually found out, but she always had a thick face, pretending to be innocent, pretending to let go of the rest of the grain naturally, and then didn't mention this stubble at all, as if it hadn't happened, pretending to think about the naan pit, and muttered in her mouth: "Where can I find this kind of soil?" ”

It is even more difficult to mention this stubble with surplus grain, and he stood aside as a red-faced stuffy gourd.

Speaking of alkaline soil, Lu Xiaoyi immediately thought of Mongolia to the west of the pass, and could ask the caravan to help carry some Gobi sand back, but the caravan was all engaged in trade, and it was difficult to say whether she could spare a horse to help her carry the sandy soil, even if the caravan agreed, this reward would definitely be a lot, and they would definitely not do a business that lost money.

Thinking of the remuneration, Lu Xiaoyi's brows furrowed again, she only had more than 400 wen in her hand, and she didn't know if it was enough, if it was not enough, how could she persuade her father and mother to help her advance money? Lu Xiaoyi had a headache to death, what a penny, is it a hero!

Yu Liang looked at her little face like this, happy and bitter for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "If there are any difficulties, you can say it and find a way together." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was reluctant to tell Yu Liang about the trouble of lack of money, he only said that he wanted to find someone to bring a kind of soil from Mongolia, but he didn't expect Yu Liang to hear it, and said very easily: "This is simple, I know a few uncles who are in the dart business, and often go to Mongolia to run darts, I can ask them to help you, but you have to say that you can find that kind of soil!" ”

It's really a mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village! Lu Xiaoyi was so excited that he almost grabbed Yu Liang's hand again to calm the excitement in his heart, "Great, Brother Liang, you are really my nobleman!" ”

Yu Liang was obviously very happy to be able to help her, "You have to be in a hurry, I will go into the city this afternoon to help you ask, I hope to help you bring it back as soon as possible." ”

"No hurry, no hurry." begging someone to do something, how can Lu Xiaoyi be embarrassed to urge it.

Yu Liang smiled, "Tell me about the soil you want?" ”

"Uh~ I heard that if you go to the Youfeng City in Mongolia, you have to go around a Gobi sand sea, and you can bring some white mud on the Gobi Desert."

Yu Liang didn't ask the reason, and nodded to indicate that he had written it down.

In the next few days, Lu Xiaoyi was both looking forward to and anxious, looking forward to the alkaline soil being brought back as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he was anxious that the alkaline soil could not be used. This kind of anxiety tormented her insomnia every night, Lu Xiaoyi laughed at herself: You can't sleep well and eat tastelessly, that's all you can do, you really aren't a person who can do big things!

This night, after counting sheep, donkeys, monkeys, and fat pigs, Lu Xiaoyi has already planned tonight's hypnotic props: counting copper coins. When the number reached 10,000, there was a faint mournful wolf howl over the village, as if a complaint, and like a lonely awe, one more poignant than the other, and one more distant than the other.

The wolf howled so close that Lu Xiaoyi broke out in a cold sweat, it must be the she-wolf that Yu Grain saved, could it be that Yu Grain had an accident? Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but think about it, she hadn't been to Yu Liang's house in the past few days, I don't know if he had released the wolf back into the mountain, according to the day, today is the night of the full moon, so she should put it back! But why didn't the she-wolf howl in the mountains, but in the mountains so close to the crowd?

Could it be that it is passing on information, in case the wolves are all attracted to the trouble! The more Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he heard the sound of the bolt of the door next door, and then Yulan's eager words, "Just stand in the courtyard and take a look, don't go out of the courtyard!" ”

Lu Zhong agreed, glanced around the high mountains on the other side of Shangxi Village, and said to Yulan: "I still heard wolf howls when I was a child, I haven't heard it for so many years, it must be that the general hunted and scattered the wolves a while ago, this is a lone wolf looking for wolves!" If you find it, you will go back to the mountains, it's okay, it's okay, let's go into the house and sleep! ”

Lu Xiaoyi admired his father's sharpness in his heart, and he guessed when he heard the wolf howl like this, and he didn't know if the people in the village would think like this.

Thinking about it, she slowly fell asleep.

The next day, the entire Shangxi Village and Xiaxi Village were in a sensation, talking about the wolf howl last night, and Fang Lizheng even organized the good hunters of Shangxi Village and the strong men of Xiaxi Village to patrol along the surrounding mountains.

Lu Xiaoyi went to Yu's house to find out.

Yu Liang was in a daze at the three hares outside the courtyard, and when he saw Lu Xiaoyi running up panting, he joked for the first time: "Think I was eaten by a wolf?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, "I'm going to eat early, and I'm still leaving you until now?" ”

Yu Liang smiled, pointed to the three hares, and said, "This is what it sent last night." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was very surprised, "It's repaying you for saving your life." ”

Yu Liang nodded, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "Every day, I want to go back to the mountains with my claws, so I let it go, but its injuries are not completely healed, and the rabbits are not easy to catch in the winter nights, and it is difficult for the three to be for it." ”

"Where's Ash?"

"I also took it away, it is not a good destination to be raised in the village after all, it is best to return to the mountains!" Yu Liang circled his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly towards the mountains and forests behind: "Thank you!" Turning her head, she saw Lu Xiaoyi looking at her seriously, a little embarrassed, her cheeks were red, and she bent down to carry the three rabbits into the yard.

"Today's big gray is a treat, let's roast rabbit meat at noon, I have prepared seasonings."

Big Ash is the she-wolf.

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and nodded.

"You go and call Xiao Geng, Xiaoding, Liu Bao and Shenqiang, this time burn all three rabbits, and bring some for Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong."

In the past, Lu Xiaoyi would be entangled in refusal, but now he has figured it out, just a meal, don't be too entangled, keep the feelings in mind, and exchange gifts in the future, both parties are happy.

The surplus grain happily packed up the rabbit, Lu Xiaoyi rushed down the mountain again, first went home to report to Yulan, and then went to call Liu Bao Shenqiang to take Xiao Ding Xiaogeng, and the five of them rushed to the mountain with a roar.

Lu Xiaoyi went up and down three times in a short time, her physical strength was exhausted, and she couldn't move when she sat in the courtyard of the Yu family, except for Yu Liang and Xiaoding, the other three boys didn't understand her at all, urging her to cook quickly, and they were all anxious to eat rabbit meat!

Lu Xiaoyi rolled her eyes at them, ignored them, and waited until she finally rested enough before Shi Shiran got up and went to the stove room. She also specially brought some sun-dried prickly roses and frosting, ready to make a meal of rose cakes from her previous life to satisfy her cravings.

Although the taste of the rose cake baked in the iron pot is not as good as that baked in the naan pit, the frosting melts and wraps the petals of the prickly rose, and the unique floral and sugar aroma instantly permeates the entire taste buds, making people smack their tongues.

A few people had a beautiful full meal, and after eating, they helped clean up the pots and bowls, and they were reluctant to leave, especially the little fat man Shen Qiang, who said last time that he wanted to help with the surplus grain, and this time he finally found an opportunity to help move the dry firewood bundles outside the courtyard to the firewood room.

The surplus grain didn't let them work, but Lu Xiaoyi raised his hands in favor, except for Xiao Geng, who was responsible for playing with the black tiger, everyone else helped carry the bundle of firewood, and Lu Xiaoyi even joked Shen Qiang: "Look at your meat, you must have eaten, slept and slept at home." ”

Shen Qiang looked at the bundle of firewood that Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding were carrying together with contempt, and then raised the bundle of firewood in his hand with great power, like a victorious little rooster, and walked forward with his head held high.

Lu Xiaoyi said to Xiao Ding: "The family is lazy and hardworking, and he is good at helping people when he grows up, that's what he said." ”

Xiao Ding giggled, his hands were not free to cover his front teeth, and he hurriedly closed his mouth and held back a smile.

Shen Qiang turned around and hated Lu Xiaoyi, looking like I had heard it all.
