"Well, the little lady must have it." The dumpling soup smelled of meat, and the oil was also sufficient, bubbling with aroma, Chen Ping picked up the noodles and scooped up the soup, "Xiao Anzi, go and wipe the table clean." ”

Chen An immediately went to pick up the linen, washed it in water, and worked hard to wipe off the flour residue on the table.

"Sit down, everyone has a share, don't be in a hurry." Chen Ping picked up the little lady with her legs and feet and walked to the table, "The little lady is also an adult, she wants to eat by herself, like Sister Xiaoya, is it okay to sit at the table?" ”

"Okay, the little lady is an adult." Chen Zhen's palms were flapping, and a few light brown hairs were caught between her fingernails.

Chen Ping took water, scrubbed Chen Zhen's hands, and then handed a pair of chopsticks to her. At the table, Chen An and a few people had already eaten, although the noodles were less vigorous, they were sticky, with a meaty soup, and the taste was not bad.

"Didn't you go back by yourself today?" Chen Ping saw that the little madman ate quickly, a bowl of noodles, only a few bites, half of it was missing, "This noodle is all about money, and yesterday's accommodation is also about being given." ”

"Give it, stingy." The little madman drank the soup and sent the bowl forward, "Give me noodles, and I will return the money to you when I go back in a few days." ”

Serve noodles to the little madman, Chen Ping has not seen his grandfather and mother yet. It's not in the east room, and there is no one in the courtyard, and it will take a few days after the conscription, and the shovels and shovels in the corners of the hall are still there.

"Xiao Anzi, do you know where Grandpa and Mother have gone?" Chen Ping also served a bowl of noodles and sat at the table, Chen An has been at home all the time, so he should know.

There was still some minced meat foam in the soup, Chen Ping picked it out, blew it, and sent it to Chen Zhen's mouth. Chen Zhen opened her mouth, the noodles she had just bitten slid down, biting the meat foam, and she hurriedly picked up the noodles that had fallen on the table and stuffed them into her mouth.

"I went to Shangtu Village and said I wanted to buy a pottery jar." Chen An flipped through the noodles, learned from Chen Ping's appearance, rolled them up with chopsticks, and formed a thick ball, and then ate them.

Buying a clay jar? Used to hold rice? But there is a clay jar for rice at home, and the rice is also packed in the bamboo barn, which is enough.

"Do you know what Grandpa bought a clay pot for?" There were a lot of noodles in the pot, so Chen Ping scooped up some water, poured it into the pot, and stuffed two sticks of firewood into the stove.

"I don't know." Chen An shook his head.

After eating the noodles, a few people sat comfortably in the yard, and continued to look at the roe deer, and the little madman even lifted the chicken coop out of the hall and teased the little wild boar.

After a while, the fire in the stove went out again, and Chen Ping was thinking about whether to add more fire to it, and there was movement outside the courtyard gate.

"Come out quickly and carry the clay pot, what are you doing in the house?" The voice was very familiar, and Father Chen was shouting at the top of his throat outside.

"Erniu, go out with me." Those few had little strength and couldn't help, Chen Ping called Chen Erniu, who could help lift the pottery jar to some extent.

Outside the courtyard gate, Chen Xiaoyi and Liu were holding a large clay jar, which was larger than the one containing rice at home, and there was an ox cart parked on the side, and Xue Fucai was tying a cow rope.

Several people worked together to move the pottery jar into the courtyard, and Xue Fucai was about to leave when he was stopped by Chen Ping.

"Brother Fucai, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? I ordered the noodles, ate them, and went back. Chen Ping said, and without waiting for Xue Fucai to refute, he ran to the hall, filled three bowls of noodles, served Chen Erniu and the two of them, and brought them out.

"It's going to mess around and waste food." Chen Xiaoyi took the bowl handed by Chen Ping, scolded, and said to Xue Fucai politely, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise it would be really difficult to push this pottery jar back." Eat something and fill your stomach. ”

Xue Fucai took the bowl from Chen Erniu, and smelled a fragrance, there was a layer of oil floating on the soup in the bowl, and a few sunflower leaves, turned it over, and saw a few points of meat foam.

Although he didn't know what this was to eat, Xue Fucai couldn't wait, picked up the noodles, and ate them. The soup soaked the noodles, and there was plenty of oil and water, so it was delicious.

"It's a nice thing." Within two clicks, Xue Fucai ate all the noodles, and even drank the soup in the pottery bowl.

Except for the meal that will be prepared in advance when I go out, the rest of the time I have to wait until about the middle of the day to eat. It's hard to say about Ding Zhuang, who has a lot of food, it's really uncomfortable.

Chen's father and Liu's two also drank the soup in the bowl, and the rice cooked by their son, although it was strange, the taste was indeed not bad.

"Go and bring another bowl of it." Chen's father gave the bowl in his hand to Chen Ping.

"There's still one in the pot, Brother Fucai will eat another bowl?" After taking the pottery bowl in the hands of Chen's father and Liu, Chen Ping asked Xue Fucai again.

"Then it's troublesome." The stomach is still half full, and this meal is also craving, Xue Fucai really still wants to eat, "You are not worse than the steamed cakes in that county and city." ”

The noodles under the dumpling soup will definitely not be bad, at least the oil put there is enough, as well as the meat foam, and some green vegetables, which are not comparable to the steamed cakes.

However, this is also a special situation, and in the future, it is impossible to have that dumpling soup every day.

Xue Fucai ate two bowls of noodles, this is to say thank you, and drive the ox cart back.

"Grandpa, what are you buying this clay jar for?" The pottery jar seems to have been bought from the porcelain kiln of Xue Xiong's family, so far away, if there is no ox cart, it is really difficult to push it back, Chen Ping is very curious.

Chen's father handed the dishes and chopsticks to Liu's hands, burped, and said, "That toilet is too dirty, it needs to be repaired." ”

After saying that, Chen's father went to the stone mortar to look at the roe deer, glanced at the little wild boar, and then entered the hall, took the shovel and shovel, and carried it to the latrine outside the west room.

Chen Ping's thatched toilet is only one, there is no distinction between men and women, the outside is made of bamboo and then smeared with mud to cover the surroundings, and then covered with thatch.

The latrine is next to the west wall, facing the shade, and the soil is soft, and the urine stains accumulated in the puddle mixed with mud, which is really disgusting.

Cleaning the latrine is not a simple job, the feces in the pit have to be taken out, Chen Xiaoyi took a long bamboo stick leaning against the outside of the latrine, and a wooden spoon was tied to the other side of the bamboo stick, and picked it up there.

"Is this latrine going to be moved to a wider position than the courtyard wall?" Chen Ping couldn't help for a while, covered his mouth and stepped aside, and made a suggestion, "Next to the west, when the wind blows, Chen An and I can smell it, it's too smelly." ”

In fact, the winter is fine, the north wind blows, and the smell does not spread quickly. What Chen Ping is afraid of is that in the summer, when the sun is shining, the smell is just separated by a wall, so how can he stand it?

"The vegetables in the field are watered with this dung water, and you have eaten them all, and you are still afraid of the smell?" The dung water was reluctant to be thrown away, and he took it into the wooden bucket that had been placed on the side, Chen's father said, looking at the water stains on the ground, "This has to change places, and you have to dig a pit again, which is a lot of trouble." ”

"Erniu and I can help." Chen Ping knew that there was a play as soon as he heard it, "It's right there, next to the courtyard, not far away." ”
