Chapter 86: Further Contact

"Mu Xiu's craftsmanship is really good." Chen Xuhui took the rice handed over by Zhou Shuilian, praised it, lowered his head and began to eat it.

"It's not that I'm boasting, everything my family shows is delicious, it's all the same ingredients, but the taste she makes is different." Zhou Shuilian has long been accustomed to eating Mu Xiu's dishes, but she is not as shocking as others.

Mu Xiu smiled, these seasonings she made were first-class in terms of freshness, not to mention that she put a lot of oil, these people eat less oil and meat on weekdays, no matter who makes these dishes, as long as the seasonings are used, they are just as delicious.

Chen Xuhui put down the rice bowl, he was full, and when he saw that he had finished eating, Zhou Shuilian stood up and began to pick it up.

"Aunt Lian, Mu Xiu, Sister Xiaocao, it's not early, I have to go, thank you for being entertained." Chen Xuhui stood up, thanked him, went to the corner to pick up his back basket, and walked to the courtyard.

"I'll send you." Mu Xiu followed.

"No, no, it's going to be winter soon, and there's nothing left on the mountain, if you want to go to the mountain when you go back, don't go alone, you just go to your family's responsible field to find me, and I'll go to see it every evening." Chen Xuhui said a little uncomfortably, he hadn't had such close contact with people for too long, he had been lonely for too long, and now someone was willing not to dislike him, and he couldn't help but talk more.

"Brother Chen, it's so late this day, you can also go home and have a good rest, and wait until about seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I will go to you, let's water together." Mu Xiu thought of going to fertilize the field tomorrow, just to see if Chen Xuhui's land needed help.

"I'll do it myself, you don't have to go." The watering that Chen Xuhui said tonight was just a casual reason to refuse Mu Xiu, and he didn't want her to help.

The weather in Yingwu Village is relatively dry, after the winter wheat is planted, there are still two waters before the year, one is the hooded water for 7 to 10 days after planting, and the other is the wintering water at the end of November.

Mu Xiu thought that Chen Xuhui was embarrassed, so she said in an undeniable tone: "Then say so, see you tomorrow." After speaking, he closed the door, and Chen Xuhui sighed, it seems that he will get up early tomorrow.

When Mu Xiu closed the door and entered the house, he saw Mu Xiaocao washing the dishes that served the vegetables in the evening with hot water, and then put the hot water that had been washed down in the pot and covered it.

"Sister? What are you doing? Mu Xiu asked a little strangely.

"Look at how thick the oil on this plate is, keep this oil and cook noodles for the next meal." Mu Xiaocao said with some sadness.

Mu Xiu: "......"

"Sister, don't worry, our family is going to raise pigs soon, when my kimchi is ready, after I sell it for money, I will buy more oil and come back, and the days will be better and better in the future."

"In the future, it will be later, and now there is still no money, it is better to save some." Mu Xiaocao also knew that in a few years, the food stamps would be cancelled, and all kinds of things that were not easy to buy now would be easy to buy, but that would be several years later, and the current days still needed to be carefully calculated.

Mu Xiu was also speechless for a while, she secretly made up her mind that she must make her life prosperous, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to pick and choose like this.

After Mu Xiu crossed over, he found that the time that everyone knew was known from the radio at the head of the village, and the loudspeaker hanging on the tree at the head of the village reported the time once at 8 o'clock in the morning and at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and at 6 o'clock in the evening.

But there is no way, the current price of a watch is one or two hundred yuan, and you still need to use a special ticket to be eligible to buy, which is a luxury in this era......

Although there is a watch in Muxiu Space, she can't take it out and use it, but fortunately, her previous science knowledge has not been lost.

Before the invention of mechanical clocks, the ancients could determine the movement of the sun by measuring the changes in the shadow of the same object by measuring the changes in the shadow of the same object at different times of the day, so as to obtain the accurate time, and this instrument was called a sundial.

To make a real sundial, you must know the knowledge of astronomy, but ...... Mu Xiu has the assistance of the space clock, and it is very simple and easy to make.

She put the big plate of the stone mill in the open space of the yard where the sun shines all day, and in the round hole in the middle of the stone mill, insert a thick bamboo pole, and the bamboo pole will cast a shadow on the stone mill, the position of each shadow changes with time, she looks at the watch, and draws a mark with a marker pen every time it is punctual, for example, the watch shows 9 o'clock in the morning at this time, and Mu Xiu draws a mark on the position of the shadow and writes 9.

After a few days, Mu Xiu completed all the markings, and he could use it to replace the watch in the future, but if it weren't for the watch, he could know the exact time, and Mu Xiu would not have been able to make this thing in his life......

Under Mu Xiu's guidance, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao will look at this sundial, Zhou Shuilian only praised Mu Xiu for his strength, as for how to do it, Mu Xiu pushed it to Lu Yuan, saying that he taught it when he was chatting in the hospital.

Zhou Shuilian admired the college students even more, and repeatedly said that reading people are different, they know everything, and they know everything, while Mu Xiaocao hugged Li Pandi and made up her mind to let her study.

The next day, Mu Xiu got up to make breakfast, and after eating, he didn't forget to put two corn steamed buns in a bowl, put them in the back basket, picked up the flat pole and bucket, explained to Zhou Shuilian, and rushed to the responsible field.

Before he arrived in the field, he saw a figure busy from a distance, Mu Xiu didn't need to guess, he knew that it must be Chen Xuhui, and when he got closer, it was him.

"Brother Chen, did you get up so early and eat?" Mu Xiu said hello.

"When you're done with your work, you'll go back to eating." Chen Xuhui didn't expect Mu Xiu to come so early, he had just arrived, and before he had time to water, he saw some weeds growing in the ground, so he directly rolled up his sleeves and pulled up the weeds first.

"I brought you two steamed buns, eat them while they're hot, come, I've picked up water, wash your hands first." On the way to Mu Xiulai, she passed by the well, because of her small strength, she only picked two half buckets of water, and put it on the ridge of the field at this time, she took out a gourd and scooped a scoop of water.

Chen Xuhui stopped what he was doing, walked to Mu Xiu's side, hurriedly washed his hands, picked up the corn steamed buns brought by Mu Xiu and ate them, but after taking a bite, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, this corn steamed bun is different from the feeling of eating it on weekdays, there is no special throat, and the entrance is very delicate.
