Chapter IX: Division of Labor and Cooperation

The next day, early in the morning, Mu Yao and Mu Meixin were called up by the Han family.

As soon as Mu Yao and Mu Meixin finished washing, they saw Mu Xiaoyu already waiting in the camp with a basket.

"Aunt Xiaoyu, it's early!" Mu Yao and Mu Meixin said in unison.

"Yaoyao, Mei Xin, how many times have I told you, just call me Xiaoyu, why don't you believe it?" Mu Xiaoyu was a little speechless and looked at the two of them who were obviously younger than herself, but they both called her aunt obsessively, and reluctantly said these words again.

"Let's go pick the mint back and dry it! Otherwise, the day will be big. Mu Yao thought that she could mix some mint and eat it at noon, so she urged.

Mu Yao and the three of them hurried and finally came back before the Han family and the others started to make lunch.

"Aunt Han, what are you doing! Is it okay to put it in rice? Widow Xiao watched Han take out a few bowls of small mung beans that she didn't know and asked worriedly.

"I think it should work, although I don't know what it is, but this is my second brother who brought it, and he can't eat it and can't take it!" Han said with some emotion.

"Aunt Han, why don't you ask the second brother! After all, we have one or two hundred people here, and we can't be sloppy. Widow Xiao was even more uneasy when she heard Han say this, so she called Han to find Mu Chengru to confirm.

When Han was about to go to Mu Chengru with a small green bean, Mu Chenghu walked in and saw the mung bean held by his old lady and asked, "Mother, where did you get this mung bean from?" ”

"Oh! This was brought by the second child, but I don't know what it is, and I was about to ask him if he could eat this thing, and you came in. Han replied truthfully.

"Mother, what are you looking for me?" He had just come back from chopping wood from the mountains and was about to go to the kitchen to find water to drink, and Mu Chengru happened to hear that his wife had something to ask him, so he walked over.

"Second child, you came back just in time, let me ask you, what is this thing that you can eat?" As soon as Han saw Mu Chengru coming over, he hurriedly asked.

"Mother, I don't know very well, this thing is the seed sold to me by a southern merchant before, he told me what the thing is called cold beans and said that it has the effect of cooling and detoxifying, blowing all over the sky. As a result, this thing has been in my store for more than a year and no one has cared about it, but unfortunately I lost half of my money. I didn't plan to bring this thing, I guess my eldest brother saw it and moved it to the car. Mu Chengru looked at what Han brought out and said.

"Second brother, the person who sold you this thing really didn't lie to you. This thing is indeed called cold beans and also called mung beans, it does have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, I was fortunate to eat it in Wanfu last summer, and I also asked Master Wan about its practice at that time. Mu Chenghu watched his mother and second brother completely ignore themselves, so he quickly brushed his sense of existence.

"Did Master Wan tell you how to make this thing?" As expected, Han hurriedly asked.

"Master Wan said that this thing can be made into mung bean soup, mung bean porridge, and mung bean cake. However, you can't do it today, because you have to soak the mung beans in water for an hour or two before making them, and it's too late to do it at this point in time. Mu Chenghu replied.

Next to Mu Yao, who picked mint and went to the kitchen to fool her grandmother to mix some mint at noon. When I heard my father's nonsense, I instantly felt that my father's ability to fool people was good.

"Grandma, the mung beans will be eaten tomorrow! Let's eat these fresh mints today! After Mu Yao saw that her father said that mung beans could not be eaten today, she hurriedly said to her grandmother.

"Yaoyao, didn't you hear your third grandfather say last night that this mint should be dried for later use?" Han Shi shook his head and said.

"Grandma, don't worry, there are many mints, we've sunburned a lot, and don't we still have mung beans?" Mu Yao said without giving up.

"Mother, how many mung beans do we have?" After listening to Mu Yao's words, Mu Chenghu asked.

"Dakai has more than 150 pounds, right?" Han replied.

Mu Chenghu thought that the sun would have to bask for about two months, and these mung beans would definitely not be enough, but there would be less terrain and mint along the way, so that everyone could stick to it.

Mu Chenghu thought about it like this, so he said to Han, "Mother, mix some for everyone to eat!" The weather is so hot, let's relieve the heat for everyone today! I'll explain to him in a moment. ”

Seeing that Mu Chenghu said this, Han nodded and agreed.

At noon, the big guys were very happy when they ate cold mint, after all, the big guys hadn't eaten fresh vegetables for half a month. It's just that everyone didn't expect that in the next two months, everyone would still eat mint until they wanted to vomit.

After lunch, Mu Chengfu went to the camp to see how Mu Chengwen's charcoal burned, and it turned out that Mu Chengwen's first kiln carbon had been burned, although the quality of carbon was not as good as the sale, but it was very good for his own use.

"This carbon is good, everyone should step up and strive to burn more carbon." Mu Chenghu looked at the carbon that had just come out of the kiln and said.

Hearing Mu Chenghu's words, the few people who burned charcoal seemed to be greatly encouraged, and they threw off their arms one by one and started to work again.

When the sun was about to set, the group that had gone out hunting in the morning finally returned.

Everyone was very happy to see the seven or eight pheasants and five or six hares lying on the ground, because after this period of overload, everyone was still eager for oil and water. Although everyone has preserved chicken and duck, everyone is afraid that life will become more difficult in the future, so no one eats it.

Dinner was stewed chicken with mushrooms, roasted vegetable soup with hares, everyone in the corn nest was full of oil, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time in the camp.

After dinner, Mu Chenghu told everyone about mung beans, and arranged for the Han family to soak two or three catties of mung beans every night, and boil soup for everyone to drink on the road the next morning.

This is the first day of everyone's dinner together, and it is also the first day of division of labor and cooperation, this day makes everyone feel the hope of the road ahead, and they all feel that each other is back-to-back relatives, and each other's hearts are so strongly united for the first time.
