Chapter 124: Roasted Corn
"Hey-" Su Heting didn't have time to stop it, seeing that she was burned like this, he hurriedly reached out to fan the wind on the side of her mouth that was opened again, and complained, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" Could it be that this thing can still grow legs and run away on its own? ”
Yuan Ning smiled and said vaguely: "Isn't this hungry!" ”
It is only at this time that she will show the coquettishness that a little girl has.
Su Heting couldn't bear to blame anymore, took the corn in her hand, fanned it with her hand for a long time, tried it and tried it was not too hot, and then handed it back to her, "Eat it slowly, isn't there anything else?" ”
The one he roasted was almost edible, so he took it from the fire, put it on a clean corn drape, and processed the other two corns, and roasted them on.
Yuan Ning quickly finished gnawing a piece of corn, turned his head, and saw that Su Heting was only concerned about roasting corn, and he didn't eat a bite, so he hurriedly said: "You can eat it too, it's freshly roasted, it's very delicious!" ”
Su Heting held both hands, so he pouted, "Well, this is not hot, you can eat it first." ”
With a corn mat, Yuan Ning was not so hungry anymore, picked up the corn, thought about it, broke it in half, handed half to Su Heting, and took one of the corn roasted in his hand, "I ate it all this time." ”
Su Heting looked at the roasted golden corn, and his stomach screamed uncontrollably, so he didn't refuse.
I never expected that this thing would be so delicious when baked, it was simply full of color and fragrance!
Yuan Ning said to him while nibbling on corn: "Look, this kind of thing, when steamed and roasted, is it already very delicious?" If it is ground into flour, it is also a kind of grain, and if it is ground into a coarse powder, it may taste a little rough, but cooking porridge is excellent.
"If you grind it into a fine powder and mix it with a little white flour, the food will be very delicious. The point is, the yield of this thing is not bad, and if the conditions allow, you can also plant some beans in between. ”
Su Heting nodded frequently, "What you said before still counts, right?" ”
"Count!" Yuan Ning nodded, "If it weren't for the hunger this time, I would definitely not come over to pick it, and besides, if I don't let you try it, you will definitely think I'm talking empty words." ”
Su Heting chuckled, "No." ”
The two men had eaten the corn, dug a pit for the ashes and garbage in the ground, buried it, and then got back on the donkeys and returned to the city.
Su Heting sent Yuan Ning home and told her to rest well before returning to the county office.
In addition to handling daily official duties, those who were trained last night can continue to work in Tianqing County.
He thought that in addition to irrigation, it can also be used for daily life, and now people use rollers to draw water, and the well rope needs to be replaced frequently, otherwise it will be easy to break in the sun and rain.
And spring, summer, autumn and winter are enough, and in winter, fetching water is really a headache.
Partial life, in this life, can not be separated from water.
In Tianqing County, there are three large wells that are shared.
He asked Fang Yan to send a letter to the construction site, asking them to pump a few people back to work as a well in the county town, but the time was arranged at night, because he didn't want to affect the people to get water during the day, and he didn't want them to know how to do this well.
When the day came, the people went to fetch water, and found that the well would not be used by itself!
Fortunately, there are special people waiting next to them, who are responsible for teaching them how to use them.
The common people spread this kind of thing quickly, and within two hours, the people of the whole city will use the well.
Pressing the well to get water, saving time and effort, even children can operate.
Moreover, under the well platform, a simple seepage well was also built, and the water spilled out will all penetrate into it, and the rest of the well platform is still dry, which means that in winter, people who come to fetch water do not have to worry, and the well platform is slippery around it.
To be able to meet such a good lady who is dedicated to the people, the people of Tianqing County are all celebrated.
Suddenly, a few days passed, and Bo Zhong's birthday arrived.
But before this, Bo Zhong couldn't hope for the news of Su Heting, so he went to the back door of the county government to block people, but he heard that the county magistrate went to the countryside to visit.
Bo Zhong returned home dejected, and Zhong Ling hurriedly asked, "Big brother, how is it?" ”
Bo Zhong shook his head, looking depressed, "Brother Su is not in the city!" If I had known, I wouldn't have given him all the money! "Now the brothers and sisters don't have a penny in their hands, how can I surprise my sister!
Zhong Ling bit his lip, "Big brother, don't worry, I'll think about it." ”
Bo Zhong sighed, "What can you do?" ”
Zhong Ling smiled slightly, "Don't forget, when I was in the countryside, my eldest sister handed over a lot of change to me for safekeeping. "At that time, the family was living in poverty, and spending money was the kind of money that I hated to spend in half.
However, Yuan Ning basically didn't use it, and the money she gave Zhong Ling, she bought everything directly with the money she got from selling things.
All Zhong Ling needs to buy is oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
So I really saved a lot of money.
Zhong Ling ran into the room, came out from under the bed with a crockpot, and the two siblings went to the Westinghouse together.
Zhong Ling carried the crockpot upside down and poured out all the money in it.
Bo Zhong almost shouted excitedly, hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth, and after a while he whispered, "There are so many?" ”
The crockpot with half a jar of money was not light, Zhong Ling took a slight breath before saying, "Most of the money here is given to me by the eldest sister in the countryside, and a small part is my pocket money. Big brother, count how many! ”
Bo Zhong took the money and counted it.
After barely half of the count, Shu Yu broke in," Aunt Zhang asked...... Wow! Big brother, second sister, where did you get so much money? ”
Zhong Ling hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth, "Be quiet!" Don't forget what day it is! ”
In order to surprise their sister, they took a day off.
Shu Yu nodded to indicate that he would not shout, took the second sister's hand away, and whispered, "Aunt Zhang asked you what you want to eat at noon." In addition, Mr. Xue also said that even if he didn't go to the school today, he would have to go to his side. ”
Bo Zhong glared at him angrily, "It's all your fault!" All of a sudden, I forgot how many I counted! ”
Zhong Ling said: "Or, don't count, I estimate that it is enough to go to the restaurant, but we have so many copper coins in the past, I am afraid that other people's restaurants will show us face, so it is better to let Aunt Zhang buy more fish or meat, let's come back and cook and eat by ourselves, and it will be more comfortable." ”
Bo Zhong nodded in agreement, took a money bag, and was about to load the money, when he suddenly heard the voice of Su Heting in the courtyard, and immediately stopped and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Brother Su!" ”
He decided, if Brother Su forgot all the things he had discussed before, he would ...... He doesn't worship him like that anymore!
