Chapter 54: Frozen "Buns" at Night
As soon as he got home, Lin Zhu sorted out the cabbage in his vegetable cellar, and divided the thirty trees that were going to be given to Dr. Zhang, because spinach is not easy to store, she has always been in the space, and she will also divide some of it at this time, so she will take the spinach out of the space first and put it in the vegetable cellar until Steward Zhang comes to get it.
The weather was very cold, and Lin Zhu's previous winter clothes were old and small, and they were not very warm, so she asked Aunt Li to help make new cotton skirts and cotton pants early, which were very warm to wear. The cotton skirts made by the people here can be worn outside, but Lin Zhu was afraid that it would be difficult to clean after being dirty, so he put on a coat outside. In fact, for the village, this shirt is a pure waste, because it is worn outside the cotton coat, so the shirt should be made larger, but when the weather is warm, the shirt is bigger, this practice must not be allowed in the eyes of thrifty people. But it is undeniable that the kit jacket does not stain the cotton clothes, and it is much easier to clean.
In order to move the cabbage, Lin Zhu changed into an old clothes as a coat, and inevitably stained the clothes, Lin Zhu was not in a hurry to change clothes, she still had more than ten catties of roe deer meat to clean up in the kitchen, Lin Zhu was ready to remove the meat and freeze it outside for preservation. When Liu Chunshan helped her slaughter it, the head of the roe deer did not move, and at this time, Lin Zhu had to cut off the rest by himself, although some of them couldn't do it, and they regretted not letting Aunt Li get it right, but she still did it hard. And the fish that I bought should also be scaled, disemboweled, and rinsed. Freeze it again. These things have been seen, and she is not easy to put into the space.
Lin Zhu made a braised roe deer meat at dinner, although there is no chili pepper, there is less taste, but it is still tender and delicious, and from time to time the black beans who get a piece of meat from the owner are also happy to call twice from time to time to express its excitement. Until Lin Zhu finished eating, it still looked a little unfinished, spinning at Lin Zhu's feet, unwilling to leave. But there is no dog right here in Lin Zhu, and if he said that he would not let it eat, he would not give it immediately. No matter how much he barks, he can't assert the dog's rights, so he can only return to his den gloomily. It's just that he still yelled at Lin Zhu twice from time to time to express his dissatisfaction.
Lin Zhu felt that he couldn't get used to its bad habits, so he turned a blind eye to its protests. Sitting on the kang, there is a small kang table on the kang, which Lin Zhu specially bought, on which there are teapots and cups, as well as sewing baskets and other things, just finished eating, Lin Zhu, who has no other entertainment, lights the oil lamp, picks up the cloth for practice, and embroiders her unsightly flowers.
After embroidering for a while, looking at the pasted patterns, it hurt my self-esteem too much, so I had to give up learning embroidery. So I started to use the remaining rags to assemble them for purse.
At this time, there was a cry from outside the house from the black beans who ran out of the house at some point, "Wang, Wang, Wang......" was a little hurried. Lin Zhu didn't know why, so he hurriedly went down the kang to take a look. As soon as I went out, I found that Black Beans was calling at the back door. At this time, it was already dark, and the moon was still very low when it first came out, but he could still see some clearly, Lin Zhu took a wooden stick from the house in his hand, opened the back door, and the black beans rushed out of the door, still screaming in the backyard. Lin Zhu lived here alone, so he was afraid of thieves and robbers, but after coming to the backyard, he listened left and right, and there was no other sound around except for the cry of Black Bean, "Black Bean, don't scream, come back." But no matter what Lin Zhu called it, Black Bean'er kept calling at the door in the backyard, and scratched the door with her claws from time to time. This is the first time that Hei Dou'er didn't listen to her, the dog could hear movements that people couldn't hear, and Hei Dou'er was so excited, so Lin Zhu had the courage to open the door of the backyard.
Not far out of the backyard is the field of Lin Zhu, at this time there is nothing in the field, a bare piece, and the courtyard wall of the backyard of Lin Zhu is piled with some straw and sorghum stalks, after the black beans ran out of the door, rushed to the firewood pile and passed, then Lin Zhu heard a faint voice, like a child's cry. She hurriedly followed Black Bean'er and ran over to look.
It didn't matter what she looked like, she took half a step back, and there was a baby wrapped in a cloth in the straw pile, because the weather was very cold, the little bun's face was a little bruised from the cold, and the cry was very small, faint and weak. Lin Zhu was a little frightened, looked around, there was no one, I don't know who threw this little bun here. It wasn't until the cry of the black bean sounded in her ears that she came back to her senses and hurriedly carried the little bun into the house.
Entering the warm room, Lin Zhu wrapped the small bun in his own quilt, put it on the kang first, and then turned around and went out to close the door of the backyard before entering the house. But the little bun seemed to have no strength to cry, and kept sobbing. Lin Zhu has never seen this kind of situation, he only hugged a friend's child in his previous life, and he can still walk and jump. She looked like an infant baby, and she was a little at a loss.
After thinking for a while, Lin Zhu felt that such a young baby didn't know how long it had been left there, and the weather was so cold, what should I do if I had something wrong with the cold? So Lin Zhu picked up the small bun wrapped in the quilt and took the black beans to find Dr. Zhang. At this time, she was extremely glad that there was a doctor in the village.
The quilt was very large, Lin Zhu stumbled a little, and finally arrived at the door of Dr. Zhang's house, she shouted for the door, and the black beans also followed the fun. The people inside heard the movement at the door, and someone immediately opened the door to see the situation.
It was Steward Zhang who opened the door, but there was still a person standing behind him, Lin Zhu couldn't see who it was, but the tall man didn't look like Doctor Zhang. Steward Zhang opened the door and saw that Lin Zhu was standing outside with a big quilt, startled, his expression was a little strange, and anyone would not be very calm when he saw outsiders standing at the door of his house holding a quilt, and he didn't find the little bun from his direction. Lin Zhu was very anxious, didn't care about explaining, and asked directly, "Uncle housekeeper, is your master resting?" As he spoke, he walked inside.
Steward Zhang, who watched it, frowned, and said in his heart that you are too unruly, I haven't spoken yet, so I'll break in. Just about to stop her, Dr. Zhang came out of the house, "What's going on outside?" As soon as Lin Zhu saw him, he immediately walked in front of Dr. Zhang, and gave him the little bun he was holding, "Help me see how this child is." ”
Doctor Zhang, together with Steward Zhang, who chased after him, saw clearly that Lin Zhu was still holding a child in his arms, and let her into the house without asking too much. Dr. Zhang instructed the housekeeper to light a few more candles while taking the child in Lin Zhu's hand.
There was a carbon basin burning in the house, and it was warm. Doctor Zhang untied the quilt, looked at the little bun, and frowned, "Where did this child come from?" "Picked up from a pile of straw in my backyard." Lin Zhu told the story in great detail. At this time, Dr. Zhang had already checked Xiao Baozi's pulse, wrote a prescription, and asked Steward Zhang to prepare medicine. "How?" Lin Zhu asked anxiously. "It's not a big deal, it's just a little cold." Hearing him say this, Lin Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that this little life would disappear.
