Chapter 82: Keep a low profile
The two horses rushed to a stop in front of the house, both drenched in sweat and panting.
Yu Wuya turned over and dismounted, patted the rattan basket woven by two thick vines on the back of the other horse, and said excitedly: "Engong, fortunately, I am not dishonored, the stone mill is good to get back, hurry up and grind the noodles to make braised pork rib noodles!" ”
But when he turned around and saw the hands that looked like zongzi wrapped in the water gently, he was shocked and asked, "What's wrong with my sister's hands?" How did it hurt like this? Could it be that he was beaten by Eun Gong for stealing food? ”
Chen Xu: ......
Shui was soft and pretty, and hurriedly put her hands behind her back, "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense, yes...... It was my own accident that I was cut by wheat straw, and it was no big deal! ”
"That's good, that's good!" Yu Wuya breathed a sigh of relief.
The two bluestone mills were quickly unloaded from the horse's back.
It was very heavy, each weighing 30 kilograms.
Chen Xu looked at it carefully, there was no problem with the size, and the openings required above were similar to the design, but the grinding chisel was not very neat, and the width and narrowness of the groove were also very rough, but for the level of the current era, it was already in a perfect state.
"Eat first, grind some flour tomorrow!" Chen Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"Engong, can't you eat today?" Yu Wuya was in a hurry.
"Well, it's too late today, but don't worry, this stone mill is well made, and you will definitely be able to eat noodles tomorrow!"
"Brother, what are the noodles?" Xing'er followed Chen Xu's ass around the two stone mills, and asked in surprise.
"Noodles are a kind of food made of flour, when you want to eat it, as long as you put it in water and boil it, it will become very soft, after cooking, pour some pork ribs, fat sausages, beef, green pepper shredded meat...... and sprinkle a little green onion, ginger and garlic, the taste is ......" Chen Xu couldn't help but take a big sip of saliva.
"Don't talk about it, besides, I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night!" Yu Wuya wiped his mouth to wash his hands and face, while Shui gently led the two horses to feed the forage, listening to Chen Xu's words, a pair of big eyes emitted a faint light under the gloomy pergola.
After dinner, while the sky was not completely dark, Chen Xu took out an axe and a knife and saw and began to make a grinding frame and grinding arm.
To be honest, he is used to eating the food of later generations, and his expectations for noodles are even stronger than Yu Wuya's, a bowl of hot noodles poured with a large spoonful of boiled fat sausages, plus red and bright oil and spicy seeds.
Hiss~
Chen Xu began to drool again.
When Chen Xu and Yu Wuya were working at night, a group of children who had finished dinner came together again, shouting and singing and playing games around Xing'er, but they were all rejected by Xing'er, and they stood next to them softly with water and watched Chen Xu make a grinding frame.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, what are you doing here?" Several villagers with water cups and benches came to cool off.
"My brother is going to make a pair of stone-ground flour, and then he is going to make a very, very delicious noodle, with braised beef noodles, braised pork rib noodles, and fat intestine noodles......"
The little girl had a very good memory, she broke her fingers and began to show off again, and soon reported all kinds of noodles in the future that Chen Xu had just said.
"Tsk, it's delicious to listen to, Xiao Xu will make it tomorrow, I have to taste it!"
"Xiao Xu's trick is better than others, the thresher he makes is convenient, labor-saving and easy to use, and there is no problem at all to go to the county to be a master craftsman." One of the villagers started patting on the back.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Xu is so capable, isn't it the gods in the sky who came down to help us!" Another villager's sycophants are even more outrageous.
"Xiao Xu will still see a doctor, I think Xiao Xu is the reincarnation of Grandpa Shennong, and he must have cultivated in the sky for tens of thousands of years to help our ......"
Hearing this, Chen Xu almost chopped off his hand with an axe.
Once this sentence spreads, his life will be completely impossible.
The people of this era especially revere ghosts and gods, and once Qin Shi Huang knew about it, he had to tie him up to Xianyang to ask: My merit is higher than the three emperors and five emperors, and you a small mountain village man also wants to stand side by side with me, chop it!
Well, that's a very big possibility.
It seems that in the future, he should be low-key in the village, at least for the time being, and this group of villagers who can't read a single word are likely to be cheating on him while praising him.
More and more villagers came to enjoy the cool air and prepare to listen to the story one after another, and the three circles inside and outside were densely packed, and the food was more tempting for children, and they were all crowded in the innermost and noisy.
"Brother~"
Xing'er gently tugged at Chen Xu's clothes behind her.
"Well, what's the matter?" Chen Xu turned his head and asked.
"Sister Water asked when you started telling stories?" The little girl leaned into Chen Xu's ear and asked softly.
Chen Xu looked up at Shui Rou who was standing next to him, shrugged his shoulders and dropped the tools in his hand and said, "Okay, that's it for today, ready to start telling the story!" ”
"yes, I'm going to listen to Brother Xiaoxu's story!" A group of children immediately scattered excitedly and began to look for a place to sit, and the villagers also put down their benches and sat next to each other.
After washing his hands, Chen Xu sat on the woodworking table where he told stories every day with a cup of tea, drank a few sips of herbal tea to moisten his throat, and then opened the folding fan with a shake of his hand and said: "Today and yesterday I will tell the story of Bai Suzhen going to Kunlun Mountain to steal fairy grass and save Xu Xian!" ”
"Yesterday it was said that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing drank realgar wine, and then the mana could not control the original form, and the two big snakes were immediately scared to death Xu Xian, and after the effect of the medicine, Bai Suzhen hugged Xu Xian's corpse and cried loudly, wanting to find death and Xu Xian Huangquan as a companion, but was stopped by Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing persuaded and explained: Although Xu Xian has died, but his soul has not yet been scattered, if he finds the Huanyang Immortal Grass, he will definitely be able to save Xu Xian, so Bai Suzhen handed Xu Xian to Xiaoqing to take care of, and he cast a spell to drive the clouds and fog to Kunlun Mountain......"
The lecture was again close to an hour.
Chen Xu drank several large cups of dry mouth and herbal tea, and the villagers and children sitting around listened to it one by one, dumbfounded and silent.
The story of stealing the fairy grass was more tense and exciting than yesterday, especially when Bai Suzhen broke into the Kunlun Mountains alone and finally found the Lingzhi fairy grass that emitted a colorful glow, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then there was a big battle with the medicine fairy, and everyone's heart was raised again.
Just when the medicine fairy boy was about to kill Bai Suzhen, a fairy sound fluttered, a white-bearded old man with a strange appearance rode a hundred zhang long crane to come, this old man is the legendary birthday star Antarctic fairy Weng, he used the crutches in his hand to stop the medicine fairy child, after listening to Bai Suzhen's crying, she was kind enough to let her take away the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, Bai Suzhen got the fairy grass and hurriedly returned to Hangzhou, decoction and Xu Xian took it, less than an hour, Xu Xian, who had been dead for a few days, really came back to life, when he asked about the two big snakes, Bai Suzhen had no choice but to lie to him and say that Xu Xian was dazzled by herself, and there were only herself and Xiaoqing at home, where did the two big snakes come from! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xu folded his fan and stood up and said: "That's all for today's story, it's not early, let's go back and rest!" ”
