Chapter 25: Pickles
"I'm going to prepare pickles, but the temperature in the warehouse isn't suitable, so I've found a shady spot to make a simple cellar." Zhou Xinzhi looked up and explained with a smile, at the moment, it is enough to put down a few jars simply, and it is too big to use.
"You put it down first, I'll dig it, how can you do such rough work as a woman."
Du Lisheng stepped forward, took the long pickaxe in her hand and put it aside, and looked at her show hand distressedly to confirm that she was not injured before reassuring.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's not a hard work...... Zhou Xinzhi was a little embarrassed, even when she was alive, no one treated her like this, and treated her like a little woman.
In the past, she was used to going out on missions, she hadn't done any dirty work, and even hid in a cave for a few days because of the mission, and it was rare to be cared for and nervous, and she said in her heart that it was true or false if she was not moved.
"Alright, if you want to do it, just dispose of the turnips and cucumbers yourself, and I'll do the rest." Du Lisheng smiled lightly for a moment and led her back to the front yard.
Only then did she feel that the man in front of her was different from other men, this ancient era was the era of male superiority and inferiority of women, most of them were men in charge, where would women be allowed to do nothing, even if Zhang Juhua was as strong as a person, he had to be responsible for laundry and cooking before.
But after the original owner grew up, these chores were handed over to her.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't shirk anymore, went to the warehouse to find a few large jars, rinsed them with clean water, then took out a coarse cloth to wipe off the excess water, brought the wooden piers and kitchen knives in the stove room, sat at the door of the warehouse and began to clean the radishes and cucumbers, and then wiped the water droplets on the surface of the cucumbers, and then put the cucumbers into the wooden basin.
"Xiao Tongzi, take out the fine salt I exchanged before." Zhou Xinzhi said while cleaning the radish.
"Ding, master, the fine salt has been delivered, what else do you command?"
"Not for the time being, I'll call you again later." Zhou Xinzhi hummed a little song pleasantly, it is really convenient to have a system, not to mention saving a lot of money, it is also a lot more convenient.
But she also knows that this system can't be used all the time, otherwise things will be reversed, and this good thing will become a bad thing.
After washing the last radish and putting it into another wooden basin, Zhou Xinzhi first cut the radish into short strips one finger thick, and then put the cut radish strips and cucumbers in the basin, poured the prepared fine salt, and then pickled it to move on to the next step.
patting the remaining salt on her hand, Zhou Xinzhi looked at the pot full of vegetables with satisfaction, and put the wooden basin in a corner of the stove room.
"Let's pickle it first, judging from the current weather, it is estimated that it will be about the same at night." Zhou Xinzhi took a look, after all, there is no such thing as a refrigerator now, and it is easy to spoil if it is marinated for too long.
"I didn't expect the lady to know how to pickle pickles." Du Lisheng is becoming more and more interested in this little lady.
"People, you have to master a little craft to survive, God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, but people can't just compromise like this, can they?" Zhou Xinzhi narrowed her eyes, and there was a feeling of unhappiness in her heart that she was tempted, "Moreover, everyone has secrets, whether it is from their own heart or not, you also have it?" So there is no need to continue the temptation, and when the time comes, you will know. ”
After Zhou Xinzhi finished speaking, she went back to the house to get ready to rest.
In fact, she didn't want to say this, but no matter how good-tempered a person is, she doesn't like to be tempted again and again, let alone a person with a bad temper.
She was not curious about the hidden things behind Du Lisheng, at least, she would naturally know when the time came.
"It's me who is abrupt, but it's not a secret from the lady for the husband, is it?" Du Lisheng hooked the corners of his lips, just like the mystery he gave people, so that people could not see through.
"It doesn't matter, whether you hide it or not, you will know it in the future." With that, she turned and went back.
Really speaking, she and Du Lisheng have only been together for less than a week, although she doesn't know why he treats him so special in such a short time, but she can't just let down her guard.
The matter of the system, the matter of her resurrection of the corpse, which is a horrific thing, so she can't easily hand it over anyway, and discuss it later.
Du Lisheng looked at the direction in which she disappeared, and his good-looking brows were frowned together, is it a secret? He just didn't know what had happened before, and he always felt like something was missing in his head.
Shaking her head helplessly, it seems that the little lady still has a temper.
Zhou Xinzhi sat in the room and looked at the medical book borrowed from Wei Qingsui, which explained very clearly, what herbs have what effects, specific appearances, and so on.
"Little Tongzi."
"Ding, what does the master command?"
Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she asked the question in her heart, "What kind of medicinal herbs can be exchanged for F-value?" ”
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is convenient for future actions, at least knowing what is needed to exchange for F-Points, and you can also pay more attention in the future.
"The items exchanged are not fixed, mainly depending on what other hosts need, of course, expensive things are naturally not picked, and other small items are charged according to the needs of other hosts."
After the explanation of the system machinery, Zhou Xinzhi was stunned for a moment, other hosts?
"You mean, I'm not the only one with this system?" She was stunned for a moment, "Are the other people in the same situation as me?" ”
Could it be that there are many people in this world who live as others like her? Survive on the system?
"Yes, there are indeed many masters like them, and there are hundreds of systems, but there are still some people who voluntarily sign contracts with the system."
Zhou Xinzhi nodded, and didn't ask much, but couldn't help but sigh that this world is really magical, "Will your system always provide things to the host?" All of them are OK? Zhou Xinzhi asked.
"If the requirements are too excessive, they may be countered by the system, such as some basic requirements can be met, and the system is not arbitrary, and it also needs to be exchanged for F-value."
It's rare that this system has explained so much to her, and although she didn't get useful knowledge, she also opened her eyes.
It seems that the world is really big, and there are no surprises!
"Xinzhi, it's time to eat!" Du Lisheng stood in the courtyard and shouted to her, Zhou Xinzhi didn't think much about it, put down the book and stepped out of the courtyard.
As for the backlash that the system says, she is not worried at all, after all, she also understands the truth that things must be reversed, and good things can't be asked for all the time, and the right solution is to make the best use of things.
"After dinner, I prepared the orchard to see how it was going, and I was ready to dig the well." Zhou Xinzhi said without raising her head, squinting her eyes and enjoying the food quietly, as for the previous quarrel between the two, she didn't pay attention to it at all.
After all, everyone has curiosity.
"It's okay, I'll go up the mountain in a while, let's go together."
Du Lisheng generously picked up some dishes for her, and as for the previous incident, both of them acted as if it had never happened.
After eating, Zhou Xinzhi was about to change into a coarse cloth dress when she heard Du Lisheng's voice behind her.
"Xinzhi, I bought you two clothes on the street today, you can try to see if it fits." Du Lisheng brought the wrapped clothes to her, although it was not a very good material, but it was very comfortable to wear.
Zhou Xinzhi was stunned for a moment, she had told him before that she didn't need to spend this money, but when she received the clothes, she would inevitably feel a little moved in her heart.
"Thank you, the clothes are very good, I'll change into coarse cloth clothes and go up the mountain with you first." Zhou Xinzhi's cheeks were crimson, but her back was to Du Lisheng, and Du Lisheng couldn't see it.
Du Lisheng nodded and went out first, didn't say much, and went to prepare things for going up the mountain.
After being dressed neatly, Zhou Xinzhi also followed him towards the foot of the mountain, and saw Zhou Bilian who left Wei Qing in the courtyard on the way, Zhou Xinzhi was thinking about whether she would be honest, who knew that this stupid woman would start to die.
"My sister really has the means." Zhou Bilian said in a weird way.
"What, block my husband in the morning, and now block me?" Zhou Xinzhi is a little impatient, who can bear to live with a little white lotus brushing the sense of existence in front of her from time to time.
Zhou Bilian glanced at Du Lisheng for a moment, her heart was about to bubble, in her opinion, her beautiful figure is also superior, the eyes of these men should be focused on her, but the two good-looking men in the village don't put her in their eyes at all, but they are more special to her cheap sister.
"In the morning, I watched my sister come out of Mr. Wei's yard, but in the blink of an eye, I pestered my brother-in-law to go out." Zhou Bilian hated it so much, but she didn't want to lose her temper in front of these long-tongued women, otherwise her reputation would be ruined.
But Zhou Xinzhi was not used to her, after listening to her, she stepped forward with a black face, and slapped her hard in Zhou Bilian's surprised gaze.
"Smack!"
The crisp slap sound shook in everyone's ears, and everyone's hearts trembled, this week the family daughter actually beat the little daughter of the Zhou family?
You must know that this eldest daughter has no status in the family, but this younger daughter is the one who is favored by Zhang Juhua, but today Zhou Xinzhi slapped her, I don't know if Zhang Juhua will be angry when she hears about it.
"You dead woman, you dare to beat me......" Zhou Bilian glared at the woman in front of her angrily, her face was also hot and painful, she was so big, she was beaten for the first time, and she was still beaten in the face.
But before she finished speaking, another slap fell on the other side.
"Smack!"
Zhou Xinzhi's eyes were cold, as if what was in front of her was not Zhou Bilian, but a dead man standing, and her indifferent eyes had no extra emotions at all.
She was a killer before she was alive, so she knew how to hurt her the most, and she also estimated in her heart that the slap marks on Zhou Bilian's face would not be able to retreat for a while.
"This first slap is to beat you for talking nonsense and nonsense. Mr. Wei is a noble person, I just went to Mr. Wei's house to ask for advice, you know it clearly, but you slandered the innocence of me and Mr. Wei, not to mention that my husband is still here, just talk about the situation at that time, you don't know what's going on? You shamelessly listened to my husband's movements and didn't say anything, but trapped me in this red mouth and white teeth, Zhou Bilian, what kind of heart do you have? ”
