Chapter 173: Building the Stove

Yan Nian looked at the westward turn of the day, and this eldest sister was still persevering in talking about coming to the mountain to help, which was really annoying.

So, he hurriedly said: "Let's go, it's time to go home, I'm going to the town tomorrow, you should also go back to cook for the second sister-in-law, after all, the second sister-in-law is eating for two people now, so you can't be careless." ”

Liu Shuangling shook her head and said, "Okay, the eldest sister is all for your good!" It's still a short time for you to leave the Liu family now, and when the days are long, you will understand the hard work of the eldest sister. ”

Yan Nian walked straight down the mountain as if he hadn't heard it.

Seeing Yan Nian like this, Liu Shuangling shook her head and followed closely behind and also went down the mountain.

The idlers who were sitting on the village road like the patron saints of the village, when they saw Yan Nian and Liu Shuangling coming back from Dongshan, they were a little surprised to see the two of them pass by, and when the two of them walked home, they heard Xu Da Loudspeaker say: "Oh, you see that this Liu family is not strange!" Mrs. Liu is like that little widow, this big girl is quite hot with Yan Nian! ”

Concubine Feng responded: "Isn't it, this is really evil." Yan Nian shook his head when he heard this, and ignored these idlers.

Yan Nian thought, if I become the leader of this village, I will send you all to do something, so that you have nothing to do and gossip about other people's families?

It's okay to organize a square dance, Yan Nian remembered his previous life again, in a square near the army, there would be uncles and aunts every morning and evening, and the scene of square dancing was really grand. The obsession of those old people with square dancing is really that no one can stop it unless the weather is bad outside, and the weather is good.

Yan Nian suddenly felt that his idea was ridiculous, but in this empty ancient time, people's ideas were still very closed. But Yan Nian thought about it again, this is not impossible, the average age of these people is low, and they have a lot of time every day.

Yan Nian thought as he walked to the door of the house.

Back in the yard, Yan Nian saw that Li San was gesturing at the gate of the fence and doing something, and hurriedly put the mushrooms in the fence gate, and before he could speak, he saw Li San get up and look at Yan Nian and said: "Yan Nian, you see that I picked up mushrooms on the mountain and think it is very good, so I will give them to you, and I came to see that it is too hot in your house, and at the suggestion of Nuo Nuo, build a stove here, and you will cook here in the future." ”

Yan Nian glanced at Nuo Nuo, who was standing aside, and hurriedly said, "This can't be done, Third Brother Li, this is too troublesome for you!" I'll do it myself. After that, he stepped forward and pulled the shovel in Li San's hand.

Li San hurriedly dodged and said: "It's okay Yan Nian, you helped me Li San when I needed help the most, I am a person who knows how to repay my kindness, and I will do this work in a while." ”

Seeing Li San bow his head and pile up a few stones, Yan Nian nodded and said, "Okay, Third Brother Li, then you do it, I'll cook, and I'll eat here tonight." ”

After speaking, Yan Nian picked up the mushrooms on the ground and walked towards the door of the house.

When Li San heard Yan Nian say this, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Nuo Nuo beside him and said softly: "Little prince, your suggestion is really good, you have to eat more tonight." ”

Nuo Nuo asked puzzledly: "Uncle, do you call me the little prince?" So what are you? ”

Li San smiled and said, "Of course I am the old prince!" ”

After saying that, the two of them laughed in the courtyard.

Yan Nian returned to the house, first brushed the pot, lit a fire to cook, scooped the rice and put it in the pot, and began to cover the pot.

Yan Nian watched the rice boil, and then went to pick the mushrooms and scald them with hot water.

I went to the small garden and got a little bit of two peppers that had just grown, and went back to the room to wash them and put them in the washed mushrooms.

Then I washed the wild vegetables and cut them into sections, and waited for the rice to come out of the pot.

Yan Nian went back to the room and saw Yanyan holding her brother's pen and paper on the table, drawing something on the table, without disturbing her daughter, and gently closed the door again.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Nian lifted the lid of the pot, took a wooden pot of rice out of the pot, and put it on the stove. Brush the pot, add some lard and soybean oil, pour the green onion, ginger and garlic into the pot and stir-fry well, and pour the mushrooms and green peppers on the plate into the pot and stir-fry.

After a while, the smell of lard and the smell of mushrooms and peppers wafted into the courtyard of the house, and I heard Yanyan sneezing twice and running out of the house, "Mother, what are you cooking here?" Why is it so spicy? ”

Yan Nian also ran to the door at this time to cover his mouth and sneeze a few loud times, Nuo Nuo also ran in, and saw the mushrooms in the pot that were about to burn and shouted: "Mother, the dish is going to be mushy!" ”

Yan Nian hurriedly turned around and returned to the stove, fried a few more mushrooms, and then the mushrooms came out of the pot.

Yan Nian said while brushing the pot: "I just added two chili peppers, I didn't expect it to be so spicy!" As he spoke, he put oil in the pot and made the wild vegetable soup.

When everything was ready, Yan Nian brought the food to the kang table in the room, put on the dishes and chopsticks, and turned around and walked outside.

Outside, Li San had already put up the simple stone stove. Yan Nian took a look, not to mention, this Li San's craftsmanship is quite coincidental, but he just looked at how he hadn't seen it in this farmhouse.

I saw that against the fence, although this stove is made of stones, it is indeed angular, well-behaved, and can be called the best in the stove.

"Third Brother Li, your stove is really good!" In addition to praising Yan Nian, he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

Li San looked up at Yan Nian, "Okay?" I know a lot of craftsmanship, and I will be useful to Li San in the future, but I can squeak. ”

Yan Nian said while agreeing, "Let's go, let's go back to the house for dinner." ”

Li San cleaned up the stones and soil next to the stove again, put down the shovel, patted the dust on his body and followed Yan Nian back to the room.

While washing his hands, he said, "This time, I'll put the iron pot in this room outside tomorrow." ”

Li San looked at the big iron pot in the outhouse again and didn't speak, and came directly to the house.

In the room, Yeon-yeon was already sitting by the window, and her brother Nono was serving rice in four bowls. Seeing that the mother and uncle had returned to the room, they said with a smile: "Uncle, hurry up and go to the kang, Nuo Nuo has already prepared the rice." ”

Li San looked at Nuo Nuo so sensible, and said while taking off his shoes, "You little baby is really sensible, if I have your son like you in the future." After saying that, he laughed to himself.

Nuo Nuo grinned and sat down against his sister, and Yan Nian sat on the kang. At this time, Yanyan got up and pulled the quilt over, "Uncle, Kang is hot, it will be better for you to sit on it." ”

Li San nodded, looking at the two children in front of him, his eyes were full of envy, "Yan Nian, look at you, you are really very blessed!" You're very sensible, how do you educate? ”
