Situ Yan heard Shiro's urging, looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and he hurriedly packed up his things and left.
San Lang first looked at the herbs in Situ Yan's back basket, and saw that there was only half a basket, and it didn't look heavy, so he didn't help his back, and he carried the bundled thorns on his back to lead the way in front.
Shiro guarded behind, sandwiched Situ Yan in the middle, and walked for a while, when he suddenly heard a sound of laughter in the grass on the left, San Lang made a gesture and signaled to stop. Shiro followed the voice and looked over, "Pheasant! ”
Listening to Shiro whispering about the pheasant, Situ Yan's heart was moved, although the meat of the "wild pheasant" was harder, it was delicious, but I didn't know if San Lang and Shiro could catch it, so I had to ask her to help a little, so I picked up two stones from the ground and wrote them in my hand.
Saburo and Shiro carefully lowered the thorns behind them, and approached the pheasant one after the other. "Click!" I don't know who stepped on the dead branch, and when the pheasant heard the sound, he was about to fly away. Saburo hurriedly pounced forward, but did not hit, and the pheasant flew overhead.
Shiro stretched out his hand to wave it, but he didn't stop it, seeing that the pheasant was flying farther and farther, he was about to lose his grip.
Situ Yan shouted in her mouth, throwing the stone in her hand in the way of throwing a dagger, "I'll kill you." Although it sounds very childish, Situ Yan is aiming at the head of the pheasant, and with her current strength, even if she can't smash it, it's still no problem to stun.
Sure enough, the stone hit the chicken's eye, and the pheasant fell to the ground, twitched and did not move. San Lang ran over, grabbed the pheasant in his hand, and ran to Situ Yan's side with it held high, "Small, five, quasi." ”
Situ Yan looked at the pheasant in San Lang's hand and didn't know what it was like, she had practiced the kung fu of throwing with one hand for ten years, and now it was not used to fight the enemy, but to hunt, I don't know if she should be happy or sad at this time.
Looking up at the excited smiles on the faces of San Lang and Shiro, I felt better.
"I'm a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse and smashed it. It's still the third brother's ear, and he suddenly found the pheasant, so we can stew chicken soup and drink it today. Situ Yan explained, lest he have no way to explain when he goes back, and praised San Lang by the way to enhance his self-confidence.
When San Lang heard the little sister praise him, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and blushed and found thatch to tie the pheasant's feet and hang them on the thorn bundle.
Shiro was a little anxious when he saw that Saburo was praised, he was also very powerful, and he also wanted to do something to let his little sister praise him too. When I was in a hurry, I was very careful, thinking that if I couldn't catch a pheasant, it would be good if I could catch a rabbit.
But good luck is not always there, the three of them rushed while looking for it, but they never encountered the prey again, so they had to go home first.
When she got home, Situ Yan first lit the stove and boiled water to deal with the chicken feathers. Let San Lang and Shiro go to see how busy the eldest brother is, let them come back for lunch at noon, and let San Lang help to see if there are a few people to help in the morning, this helps, she can't let people starve, she has to prepare more.
San Lang and Shiro went to find Da Lang, and Situ Yan took advantage of the time to boil the water, washed the wild vegetables he dug yesterday, cut them, and took some wild vegetables from the ring, which he had dug up when he was on the road with the dart game before. That's where it comes in.
When the water is boiled, scoop some into the basin, first wipe a knife on the neck of the chicken and let it bleed, then put it into the hot water to remove the hair, the hair is plucked clean, and San Lang comes back.
"Small, five, four, one, person, help, help."
"Okay, I know, if the third brother is tired, take a break and drink some water first."
"No, tired." Saburo took a sip of water and went out again. He was actually a little tired, but when he thought of the new house he was building, he felt that he had inexhaustible strength.
Situ Yan didn't care about him, she was busy preparing to eat, and looked at the black noodle pocket on the ground of the main house, this can't be used, these are all sifted by her. I had to take out another ten catties from the ring that had not been sifted, and I was hydrated, and I pasted the cake at noon.
After making good noodles, the chicken was shaved off again, and the chicken fat was kept for pasting cakes. The chicken rack is packed in a large bowl and saved for the evening soup.
There is not much meat shaved off, first blanch it in water, and then tear it into shreds with your hands, then make soup with wild vegetables and shredded chicken, and when you get out of the pot, you can point some salt, and you don't dare to put more, and when you see that the wild vegetables are cooked, they are all fished into the clay pot.
Brushed the pot with water, put the chicken fat in and began to paste the cakes, the oiled cakes were bubbling with aroma, Situ Yan made it according to the amount of three sheets per person, thinking that even if they couldn't eat enough, at least they could be regarded as their family's heart.
Put the cakes in the pot and warm them, put out the fire, and wait for the work to come back.
As soon as noon passed, Mura Zheng led a group of people back, Situ Yan was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and saw that it was Mura Zheng and Li Aniu who came to help, followed by Li Dalang and four people, and then there were two people who were about the same age as Li Dalang, who should be Shanwazi and Dog.
"Uncle Muramasa is good, Uncle Niu is good." Situ Yan greeted the adults first, "I'm tired of you again today, there is nothing to eat in this house, uncle, don't dislike it." ”
"You little girl, it's not a bad girl, it's all your own people, what's polite, I said to Da Lang that I wanted to go home to eat, and your aunt came to the house to do it, but Da Lang didn't follow, saying that if you don't invite us over, I'm afraid you will be upset."
"My eldest brother is the most reasonable, if my uncle doesn't come, how dare I ask you for help again. Come in, wash your hands and start eating. ”
"Brother Shanwazi and Brother Dog, take your bowl to me too, and I will fill you with vegetables." Situ Yan nodded at the mountain baby and the dog, and took the thick bowl from their hands.
At this time, in addition to the village and the Li brothers, Li Aniu, Shan Wazi and Gouzi are all standing there stupidly, they have all seen this little girl before, that is the word "ugly", but at this time, how can I still see a little ugly, and the water is so bright that people can't take their eyes off.
"Ah Niu, what's stupid. Hahaha. Muramasa patted Li Aniu's shoulder and pulled his soul back.
"Uncle Zheng of his village, is this the black and thin little girl? Why don't I feel like a person? Li Aniu blinked his eyes a few times and looked at Muramasa with a look of surprise.
"Yes, hehe, this little girl is ghostly, she looked like her before, she was painted, and she was afraid that she would be turned on the road." Mura Zheng looked at Situ Yan, who was busy coming in and out, with a smile on his face, as if he was praising his own baby.
"It's really ghostly, it looks like it!" Li Aniu also thinks that the baby is smart, which is like his mountain baby, who is as dull as a wood.
Li Dalang invited Uncle Mura Zheng and Uncle A Niu to sit first, but there was no stool, and several people found a stone to set up. When I turned around, I saw that the mountain baby and the dog were still staring at the little sister, and I was a little unhappy. Since Xiaomei tied his hair for him this morning, he felt different in his heart, and when he saw others staring at Xiaomei, he was inexplicably irritable.
He patted them on the shoulders and found them a stone with their backs to the stove to sit on. Use the old door panel as a table, and after a while, one person will have a bowl of shredded chicken and vegetable soup, and three black flour pancakes will be placed.
"Uncle Muramasa and Uncle Niu eat, Brother Shan Wazi and Brother Dog eat. Brothers eat. Situ Yan greeted them one by one, and when she saw that several people had started eating, she picked up her bowl and drank the soup, she couldn't swallow this cake, and she was going to fill it up at noon today.
"Girl, you still have meat in this soup, and this cake is also fragrant, you made it?" Muramasa is a little strange, they are all wild vegetable soup and black flour cakes, why is this girl so fragrant?
"That's when my uncle was hungry after a hard day, and the ones I made were barely in my mouth, but they couldn't be called delicious, and the soup made by Aunt Fu was fragrant? I'm still drooling when I think about it now. ”
"You don't have to be modest, this is not delicious, you can see the mountain baby and the dog, these two boys are afraid that they will even eat their fingers." Muramasa smiled and looked at the two of them joking, saying that the mountain baby and the dog were embarrassed to eat.
"Look at what Uncle said, Brother Shan Wazi and Brother Dog are embarrassed. Brothers, eat more if it's delicious, don't listen to Uncle Muramasa. ”
"Uncle Zheng of his village is right, the cakes and soup made by my mother-in-law are not so fragrant, and this is not a busy farm can still eat cakes, I and my boy, I also borrowed the light of the girl to improve." Li Aniu took a bite of the cake and didn't forget to praise it.
Before Situ Yan could speak, Li Erlang grabbed the conversation first, "Xiao Wu is fragrant in everything he does, and I have eaten more in the past two days than in the past year." ”
"Me too." Shiro also joined in the fun, and the angry Situ Yan stared at her, she wanted to be low-key, she didn't want people to think that she was anything special, but these two people blew her into the sky with one mouth. But she couldn't stop it if she wanted to, and the words had already been said. can only drink soup to vent his anger.
"Delicious! Fragrant! Shan Wazi may be because his father is there, so he also opened his mouth and praised a few words, this time he was a little embarrassed to change Situ Yan, and muttered in his heart, "Just these things, it's far from the fragrance, okay, don't praise it anymore." ”
Li Dalang ate the cake and listened to everyone's words, as if he was praising him, sweet in his heart. Since his little sister came, he felt at ease, comfortable and happy. Although I started to be busy early in the morning, the busier I was, the more hopeful I was for this day. I don't feel tired, if I wear a single shirt at this time on weekdays, it's not uncomfortable to freeze, but now I feel warm from the heart out. Not only Li Dalang feels this way, but the four brothers of the Li family all feel this way. Even if the north wind is blowing, it feels like a warm wind.
Muramasa drank a bowl of soup clean, but only ate two pieces of cake, and shouted that he was full, "I have eaten this meal today." In this family, there has to be a woman, although the girl is not very old, but look at the four of you, this dress is made up by the girl, I look like I have washed my hair, and this comb is also neat. Although the house is a little dilapidated, it can already eat hot food, and there is finally hope for this day. When Li Dalang went to look for him early this morning, he noticed that the clothes on this kid's body were washed clean, and his hair was tied. The hard days of the four brothers of the Li family are coming to an end.
"I think so too, I eat enough every day, sleep well, and see the sky like the New Year." Seeing that the village was talking to him, Li Dalang hurriedly put the bowl on the table and took over.
"Don't say that his village uncle is full, I'm all overfed." Li Aniu was more sincere, and he also praised the words of Muramasa and Li Dalang.
"Uncle Muramasa, Uncle Niu, don't boast about it, if you praise me again, you have to find a crack in the ground to get into. It's just a few black flour cakes, if it's japonica rice, then don't you boast about me to the sky? Situ Yan joked, thinking about quickly diverting this topic, she didn't like to stand on the cusp of the storm and let others judge it.
"Okay, I'll stop talking. The tree has been brought back, and when are you going to build a house, so that I can go to you for you. Muramasa didn't mention it anymore and got down to business.
Situ Yan was interested in this topic, and hurriedly answered, "Uncle Murazheng, my family still has to beat some adobe bricks these days, and I have to wait for the trees to dry again, so I started digging the foundation in early October, and then I asked my uncle to help find some honest uncles who can build houses to help, and my family is in charge of two meals, but there are no bowls at home, and I am afraid that I will invite people to work to bring their own dishes and chopsticks." ”
"That's all trivial, girl, are you sure you have to take care of two meals, there are a lot of people working here, I'm afraid your family's food is not enough, right?" The village is thinking about the food he helped buy, and if he eats some more in the next few days, I am afraid it will not be enough.
"It's enough, I plan to go to the big market on September 25, and it's enough to buy some more then." Situ Yan had already thought about concocting the collected medicine in the past two days, and sold it when she rushed to the market, and then bought more grain and came back, and then cut some meat.
"It's good that you girl has a plan in her heart, you don't have to worry about helping, Uncle will do it for you."
After chatting for a while, Muramasa and Li Aniu went home first, and Shan Wazi and Gouzi followed Li Dalang and Li Erlang to beat adobe bricks. The two of them worked harder than in the morning, firstly, because the food cooked by Situ Yan was delicious. The second is that the two of them also like this little girl who looks smart, long and fiery.
San Lang still went up the mountain to dig thorns, and Shiro carried a basket and went with Situ Yan to dig wild vegetables and herbs.
In the afternoon, everyone was busy with their feet not touching the ground, and the chicken gnocchi and wild vegetable soup they ate for dinner were hot and the leftover cakes at noon were hot, and they were considered to be full. Before Situ Yan made dinner, she ate a white-flour steamed bun stored in a ring (thinking that this steamed bun was bought for her when Cui Ping was there, she couldn't help but think of her own brother, and I don't know if it was safe to leave Beijing at this time.) When it came time for dinner, just drank some soup.
After boiling hot water and washing, they went to the kang to rest, and the five of them were tired for a day, and they all fell asleep as soon as they lay down.
