Chapter 5 Man is iron, rice is steel
Zhang Xin practiced until he was sweating profusely, exhaled deeply, and slowly finished his work, his eyes flashed with light, and he felt as if there was a stream of heat flowing between his limbs and hundreds of bones. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Xin clenched his fists vigorously, feeling that there was an inexhaustible strength in his body, and his heart couldn't help but be overjoyed, which was clearly a sign of kung fu Xiaocheng and the beginning of his bright energy.
Although Zhang Xin practiced kung fu for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets in his previous life, it took more than a year to practice to Mingjin, and now he has practiced to this point in just one night and one morning. He had heard people say before that some geniuses can practice for thousands of miles in a day, and they can withstand the hard work of others for months or even years in a day, but he didn't believe it before, and always thought that there were so many shortcuts in the world for a little hard work and a harvest? Now I find out that God is really not so fair sometimes.
Just as he was sighing, Zhang Xin suddenly felt a "gurgling" sound in his abdomen, but it turned out that he had practiced too hard, and the energy in his body was exhausted, and he suddenly felt hungry.
Zhang Xin turned his head to see that Zhang Xizi was still lying on the bed like a caterpillar with a spine pumped, and couldn't help but stretch out his foot and kick him.
"Brother Xin...... Why? Zhang Xizi said lazily.
"Go, get something to eat. Starve me to death. ”
Zhang Xizi got up softly, pulled out a leather bag from a pile of hay, stuck his head in for a while, and turned out a swarthy thing from it and threw it to Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin took it and saw that it was a piece of black cake made of unknown pieces, and he pinched the hard one and could use it as a brick. Zhang Xin hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach, so he took a bite gently...... I didn't bite. So he took another hard bite, and this time the cheeks were straining, and the swollen place was stretched, Zhang Xin only felt that half of his face was sore and painful, and the tears couldn't stop falling down.
Zhang Xizi was startled when he saw Zhang Xin eating a cake with tears streaming down his face, and thought that Zhang Xin was hungry, so he hurriedly comforted: "Brother, don't cry, I don't have enough cakes." As he spoke, he handed Zhang Xin a piece of cake. Zhang Xin wanted to say no, I wasn't hungry, but my cheeks were sore and painful, and I couldn't say a word, but my tears flowed even more.
Zhang Xizi saw Zhang Xin crying even more, and turned his leather bag upside down, and poured all the cakes in front of Zhang Xin, "Brother, don't cry, I feel uncomfortable when I see you crying......"
Zhang Xin slowed down for a long time, felt that his cheeks were a little better, and he was so angry that he threw the black cake in his hand on Zhang Xizi: "Get out, Lao Tzu hurts." After that, he covered his cheeks and lay on the bed and "hummed".
Zhang Xizi saw that he had made a fuss, smiled, quickly put the black cakes on the bed back into the bag, and asked, "Brother, why don't I call Lang Zhong over for you." ”
Zhang Xin slowed down for a long time, said: "No need to ......" and then struggled to get up, and said with tears in his eyes: "What...... Is there any porridge from yesterday? ”
Zhang Xizi scratched his head, "I don't know, the porridge was boiled by the old king's head yesterday, why don't we go to the Huotou camp to have a look?" ”
Zhang Xin rubbed his cheeks and walked out of the tent with Zhang Xizi one after the other. Outside, for some reason, it was deserted, and I couldn't see anyone for a long time.
"Kiko, why is there no one?" Zhang Xin asked casually.
"It is estimated that they have all gone to the city, and the chief manager of our family will come to support immediately, and the Tubo dogs have been attacking very impatiently in the past two days, and they are fighting day and night, and they are worried to death."
The two walked all the way to Dongying, Zhang Xizi took Zhang Xin to a small tent with a familiar car, Zhang Xizi took the lead in opening the curtain and entering, only to see a huge stove in the middle of the tent, and a large cauldron in the middle that could fit them all in. On the left side of the tent were neatly stacked piles of firewood, and on the right side were some jars and jars and many sacks full of sacks.
As soon as Zhang Xizi entered the door, he opened the altar and jars one by one, rummaging through them, and when he didn't move, Zhang Xizi said with a bitter face: "Brother, Lao Wang, this fat man has cleaned up, and he didn't leave anything for us." ”
Zhang Xinman rolled up his sleeves nonchalantly, "Don't be afraid, do it yourself." Then he ran over and took a handful of firewood and stuffed it into the stove, stretched out his hand and pulled it, and sure enough, there was still a fire simmering in the hearth.
Zhang Xin instructed Zhang Xizi while lighting a fire: "Go get some water, and then bring me the spices." ”
Zhang Xizi let out a "hey", first put the seasonings stacked up by the old king's head in front of Zhang Xin one by one, and then carried an empty bucket to open the door curtain to find water.
Zhang Xin finally raised the fire, turned his head to look at the pile of jars that Zhang Xizi placed next to him, and was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't know the spices in them. Zhang Xin sighed, so he had to turn over a few vegetables from the bag piled up on the wall, and after looking for a long time, he couldn't find where the kitchen knife was, so he had to pull out the saber on his waist and cut the vegetables into small pieces.
While cutting vegetables, Zhang Xizi came back with a bucket of water, Zhang Xin turned his head and asked, "Xizi, come here," he said, pointing at a black rag in the jar with the tip of his knife, "What is this?" ”
"Vinegar cloth," Zhang Xizi glanced at Zhang Xin strangely, "You don't know this anymore?" ”
Zhang Xin was speechless for a while, it was the first time he had heard of such a thing as vinegar cloth when he was so old, Zhang Xin unswervingly exposed his ignorance, quickly skipped this topic, and pointed to a yellow-brown thing, "What is this?" ”
"The sea salt for the military is big, the taste is salty, the old king has been holding it as a baby pimple, and he is reluctant to put more ...... when cooking."
Zhang Xin was speechless for a while, and when he saw that Xizi was still going to talk at length, he hurriedly pointed at a jar of white ointment with a knife and looked at Zhang Xizi with slanted eyes.
"Lard, this is the oil boiled by the old king when he killed the pig during the New Year."
Zhang Xin calculated, it's been almost half a year since the Chinese New Year, and I don't know if this thing is broken. Hurriedly picked up a piece carefully with the tip of the knife, and sent it to the bottom of the nose to smell it, it was okay, it didn't smell bad.
After cutting the vegetables in three times and dividing five by two, Zhang Xin asked Zhang Xizi to wash the vegetables. He picked a large piece of lard with a knife and threw it into the pot and slowly melted it.
"Kiko, have you finished washing?" "Okay...... Kiko handed the vegetables in the pot to Zhang Xin.
"Thorny ......" Zhang Xin poured the vegetables in the basin into the hot lard, and the aroma of the lard mixed with the fragrance of the green vegetables came to his nose, and suddenly the room was filled with a thick fragrance of vegetables, only to hear Zhang Xizi's "coo" swallow saliva.
In less than a moment, Zhang Xin fried a small half pot of vegetables and put it on the stove, and he smashed the black and hard black cake with a knife and threw it into the pot and began to boil the porridge.
Zhang Xizi lay on the stove like a puppy...... Ziha ......" inhaled the aroma and said intoxicatedly: "Brother Xin, I admire you so much, where did you learn such a hand." It's much more fragrant than Lao Wang...... No, I can't help it. With that, he reached out and picked up a handful of vegetables, and regardless of the heat, he stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly, Zhang Xizi collapsed from the stove with a "......" sound, jumped straight on the ground, and screamed "Ulu Uru" in his mouth, but he was reluctant to spit out the food in his mouth.
