Chapter 86: It's finally quiet

Because yesterday Chen Xu's family grinded flour to make noodles has spread throughout the small mountain village, and Niu Dashi and Xing'er have been painting and promoting the deliciousness of noodles all night when they enjoyed the cool last night, so since the morning, every household has an endless stream of people coming to grind noodles with wheat.

Although everyone is still on the verge of just having enough food and clothing, but this year, God takes care of it, the summer grain harvest is very smooth, there is no wind and rain, and the output is even more than in previous years.

Therefore, for a whole day, Yu Wuya was happy to teach the villagers how to grind, and the water was gentle and gentle to teach housewives how to feed and grind.

Chen Jiang teaches villagers how to strain flour.

Apricot is like an excited little squirrel, running around, looking east and west, taking a group of children to feed the pigs, and instructing the children how to roll the dough and dry the noodles.

Chen Xu turned into a professional pastry chef and made a meal of dumplings at noon.

The dumpling skin is very simple, this season, the mountains are full of wild vegetables, so the dumpling filling is also very easy, the water celery pork filling and the shepherd's cabbage filling are made of some each, and a big pot is boiled.

Because there was no steamer, the steamed buns couldn't be made, so at night, Chen Xu had to make pancakes.

And these two new delicacies directly detonated the passion of the whole village.

Not to mention the dumplings, they are delicious and delicious, suitable for all ages, and all those who have eaten them are full of praise.

And the pancakes in the evening are even more popular.

Niu Dashi ate five in one go, and Yu Wuya didn't waste the name of foodie, he ate eight at a meal, and even ate three gently, and after eating, he hid in the room and didn't dare to come out to meet people.

The sun sets, and the chaotic and hectic day finally quiets down.

"Whew~" Chen Xu sat under the pergola with a tired sweat, looked at the rolling green mountains and the last afterglow for a long time, then turned his head to look at his room, and muttered softly: "Tomorrow, it's time to go!" ”

Although Yu Wuya is a big foodie, he is not ambiguous in his work, at least he went out to bring back more than 13,000 yuan for himself, which is enough to cover the income of more than ten households in the village for more than ten years, and even if this money is placed in a wealthy family in Wancheng, it is definitely a large income, and the income of a moderately wealthy family is only more than 1,000 yuan a year.

But for the gentle arrival of the water, Chen Xu is not prepared at all, sixteen or seventeen years old looks like a disaster for the country and the people, and should have been married a long time ago, but for some reason he is still single, even if he is single, this age is in the next generation of two thousand years, and she is still in middle school, and she is also a young girl in the flower season, but she has stayed again and again for various reasons, this is the third day, Chen Xu doesn't understand why she did it.

The injuries on her hands were just a few small cuts that had just broken the skin, and in Chen Xu's opinion, there was no need to bandage them at all, and they coagulated after a few minutes of casually applying some hemostatic powder, and the reason for not being able to ride a horse was very far-fetched.

Is it because of the food?

This reason may be very important, for women, there are two things full of great temptation for them, one is food, the other is clothing, on the street in later generations, you can see a beautiful woman walking on the street while gnawing on the neck of a duck, that kind of scene is very incongruous, but those women never care about it and never get tired of it.

But this reason is not enough for the water to stay three times and five times, Chen Xu thought for a long time, slowly recalled the performance of the water softness in the past few days, and finally came to a conclusion that this girl likes to listen to him tell stories.

As soon as he figured it out, Chen Xu showed a strange and wry smile on his face.

Maybe it's because there are too few entertainment in this era!

As the sun sets, the sky darkens again.

One after another, villagers came with their families to listen to the stories.

And listening to stories has become the same habit as watching TV at night in later generations, and if you don't listen to it for a day, you always feel almost something, and you can't fall asleep.

And Chen Xu's White Snake Biography also talked about Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda today.

The night was getting thicker, the stars and the moon were all over the sky, and under the silent listening of all the villagers, Chen Xu told the end of the story.

"That Fahai took Bai Suzhen into the magic bowl and brought it to the thunder peak by the West Lake in Hangzhou, and ordered the disciples to build a seventh-level pagoda, and pressed the magic bowl and Bai Suzhen under the tower, so that she would be burned by thunder and fire forever, and she would not be freed!"

Speaking of this, Chen Xu folded his fan and stood up: "Okay, the story of the White Snake is all over today, let's go back to sleep!" ”

Everyone looked at Chen Xu angrily, no one stood up, and after a long time, Niu Dashi jumped up and shouted: "Brother Xu, the white lady is kind-hearted to cure diseases and save people, why should she be pressed under Leifeng Pagoda by that bastard of Fahai and never be able to come out?" ”

"Yes, Xiao Xu, this ending is not good, change it!" One of the villagers also spoke.

"Bai Suzhen's flooded Jinshan and drowned countless people in Hangzhou City, he has violated the rules of heaven, and modifying the ending is also a violation of the laws of heaven, so the ending cannot be changed!" Chen Xu said while drinking herbal tea.

"The White Lady is so pitiful, beautiful and charitable, how could she get this result, Xiao Xu, don't tell such a story again!" An aunt slowly stood up, wiped her tears and carried the bench away.

"Woo, brother, can't the White Lady really come out?" Xing'er couldn't stop crying, lying on Chen Jiang's lap and constantly wiping her tears, some children also cried, even some adult women began to rub their eyes, and even some old men looked up at the sky.

In this era of almost no entertainment, the slightest touch can make these villagers sad and happy, and they listened to the White Lady for four nights, but got a completely unacceptable ending.

"I will never listen to Brother Xiaoxu's stories in the future!" A little girl cried and stood up.

"Yes, yes, if Brother Xiaoxu doesn't rescue Bai Niangniang, we won't play with him anymore!" More children shouted to their feet.

"What are you yelling about, go back to sleep!" Uncle Ma stood up and waved his hand, "Violating the rules of heaven is the same as our violation of the laws of Daqin, killing people pays for their lives, since ancient times, good people can't kill people casually, right, not to mention it's just a story, don't rub it off, go back and go to bed early, tomorrow the pavilion chief will come down to collect the field tax, and every household will get up early to prepare!" ”

Driven by Uncle Ma, a group of people sighed and left in twos and threes, obviously both men and women, young and old, were very dissatisfied with Chen Xu's ending, but they were helpless, it is estimated that many people will not be able to sleep again when they go back tonight.

It's finally clear, and I hope I won't come to listen to the story tomorrow!

Chen Xu sighed faintly in his heart.
