Chapter 53: The Mystery
Every family has its own affairs, Zhao Yuan didn't know that because of his original words, Wanjia was quietly changing, and at this time he was discussing with Luoluo who would pull the two donkeys.
"Uncle, let's let the white head pull it, the black tiger is so small, wait for it to grow up and grind." Yes, the donkey that was bought to pull the cart also had its own name, which Luoluo took because she found a lock of white hair on the donkey's head, so she called it Baitou.
"Okay, listen to Luoluo, let the big donkey pull the white head." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
The stone mill in Zhaojiazhuang originally didn't need to be pulled by a donkey, but Zhao Yuan, who was idle at home, had nothing to do, so he slightly modified the wooden handle of the stone mill to let the donkey pull.
The first day of the thirtieth year does not grind, this is the custom of Shudi, today is the last day before the New Year, when you can still grind, Zhao Yuan is ready to make some rice cake.
The finely crushed rice is soaked, then refined, put in a wooden basin with a lid, slightly heated for fermentation, and after the rice milk ferments in volume, it is put in the sugar and steamed, and then placed in the bamboo ring on the steaming drawer to be steamed, and become a poop, which can be eaten for a long time in cold weather, and can also be used as a gift for relatives and friends.
"Uncle, why do you want to cover your white eyes?" Luoluo looked at Zhao Yuan and asked as he looked for a quick cotton cloth to cover the donkey's eyes.
"Yes, brother-in-law, why?" Xiaobao was also curious.
"When you cover the donkey's eyes, it won't get dizzy when it's grinding, and it can also prevent it from stealing food." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
This donkey should not have been pulled and milled, so I don't know if it can work.
"Atom, what are you going to do here?" Zhao Si, who was walking around the village with his hands behind his back, asked.
"Fourth Uncle is taking a walk, I'm going to make some snacks." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh, tomorrow is the New Year, it seems that you are going to make a good thing." Zhao Si said with a smile.
"I'm just blind and do whatever comes to mind." Zhao Yuan put on his white head and was ready to start grinding rice milk.
"It's easy to think about something, but it's hard to do it when you can think about it." Zhao Si shook his head and said.
"A giant in thought, a dwarf in action." Zhao Yuan blurted out a famous sentence in later generations.
"What?" Zhao Si didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, I mean most people are always thinking about what to do, but they just stay on it, and very little is really done." Zhao Yuan said funny.
"Yes, it is always a very difficult thing to change, I think I went to the town medical hall as an apprentice, it is also a matter of repeated tossing for a long time, if I didn't go at the beginning, I wouldn't have learned these medical skills now." Zhao Si nodded and said.
"Just like Brother Yuan, did you invest so much in collecting wild mushrooms?" Meng Ying added a spoonful of rice to the stone mill and said.
"Sort of, it's a blind toss." Zhao Yuan smiled and swept the stopped donkey with his whip.
"Without the toss of the atom you had a few months ago, and there was no current situation, the whole village would have benefited." Zhao Si said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, what good things are atoms doing?" At this time, Zhao Gongzi came over and asked.
"Pole, have you eaten?" Zhao Si said hello.
"Uncle Pole."
"Grandpa Pole."
Zhao Yuan shouted.
"Eat, I heard the sound of the stone mill, it turned out that you were using the stone mill, good donkey!" Zhao Gongzi said.
"Toss some snacks, what kind of delicious food does Uncle Pole's family make?" Meng Ying asked with a smile.
"This year is considered a fat year, every family has meat to eat, or do you come to my house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Zhao Gongzi said jokingly.
"Pole, no matter what your family does, it can't compare to the atom family, but I know that the atom seems to be more talented than him in eating things." Zhao Si said with a smile.
"No matter how capable people eat, they can't overdo it, it can only mean that they are living a good life, but it's a pity for Dazhu."
"For the New Year's holiday, don't talk about it if you're not happy, atom, you're going to move to Xiaheba after the New Year, right?"
"Yes, I'm going to move in after the Chinese New Year." When Zhao Dazhu was mentioned, Zhao Yuan was silent for a while, and he should also go to the grave after the New Year.
"Then what are you going to do, after all, there is still land over here." Zhao Gongzi asked.
"I really have some ideas, I plan to take my family's eight acres of land to the people in the village to plant, take 30% of the harvested grain and put it in the ancestral hall of the village, and use the grain if anyone is in trouble in the future." Zhao Yuan said.
"Don't you want it yourself?" Zhao Gongzi asked.
"Uncle Pole, Fourth Uncle, now I have some ability, so I can do something for the village." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.
"You should discuss this matter with your uncle, after all, this is not a trivial matter, this land is our roots."
"Yes, I calculated, there are a total of sixteen children in our village studying in the town, and I plan to come up with a sum of money to fund the children to go to school, hoping that our Zhaojiazhuang will get better and better in the future." Zhao Yuan thought about it for a while, and gave Zhao Si and Zhao Pole a little breath, after all, his family moved to Xiaheba, and it may be rare when he returns to Zhaojiazhuang in the future.
"Atom, you have done enough for everyone, I don't advise you, our Zhaojiazhuang people are all good, there is no such treacherous person, what you do, everyone remembers it." Zhao Si said solemnly.
"The fourth uncle is serious." Zhao Yuan smiled, diverted the topic and said, "By the way, I have "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" written by Sun Simiao, the former medicine king of the previous dynasty, is the fourth uncle interested in taking a look?" ”
"What!" Zhao Si said in surprise.
Zhao Yuan nodded at Zhao Si, confirming what he said. "Qianjin Fang" as a classic of traditional Chinese health care, Zhao Yuan in order to improve the game's medical system, the full set of books have been collected into the game knowledge base, some time ago when Zhao Yuan practiced learning, the first ten volumes were written, but also intended to give to Zhao Si, to improve his artistic level, at that time Luoluo also asked Zhao Yuan what he wrote, why she couldn't understand it at all.
"Quick, atom, take me to see it." Zhao Si said anxiously.
"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, I've ground all the rice milk, I'll get it to you when I'm cleaned up." Zhao Yuan pointed to the rice milk that had been ground on the graphite and said with a smile.
"What kind of rice milk do you care, I'll help you, pole, you can also come and help." Zhao Si said eagerly.
"Do you need to be in such a hurry, what's that?" Zhao Gongzi asked suspiciously, not understanding why Zhao Si reacted so much after hearing the words of the atom.
"You don't understand, what are you talking about, come and help!" Zhao Si seemed to be about to jump, and Zhao Yuan seemed to have become a mystery since he recovered from his illness.
At this moment, Zhao Si coincidentally had the same feeling as Wan Yunjun of the CD Mansion who was far away!
