Chapter 45: Household Trivia
Wang Lu got up and stretched comfortably.
It was nice to have a bed to sleep in.
Beneath Wang Lu is a wire folding bed.
Getting a bed from Yinjiang Town at the foot of the mountain has always been a matter of Wang Lu's mind.
In the small courtyard of the farmhouse, there will be no shortage of beds.
Not to mention those double Simmons or brown trampolines, even single brown trampolines.
Wang Lu couldn't move alone.
In fact, even if you call Chen Wei, it won't work.
Besides, if you have a bed, you have to have a bed frame, the mountain is originally damp, and when the weather is cold, you can directly put the bed on the ground to sleep, and it is easy to catch a cold.
Suffering from gains and losses, it dragged on and on, until yesterday in a bedding store in the town, the wire bed was found. Folded, one person can walk with one hand.
Wang Lu didn't care about fighting zombies anymore if he got the treasure, so he rushed back to the mountain with the wire bed.
The whole family was very excited for a while, Wang Bi'an jumped to his feet and said that he also wanted to sleep on the wire bed, and was coaxed by Chen Wei to say that the child's bones were soft, and sleeping on the wire bed was afraid that the bones would be deformed, so he persuaded him.
That night, Wang Lu went to bed early and slept beautifully until dawn.
Wang Lu stretched his waist again, and touched the bed sheet under his body - this bed sheet, which he also took from the bedding store, was actually a four-piece bag, including pillows, pillowcases, quilts, and sheets.
Changed all the items in the bedroom.
Earlier, the single bed that Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an slept in was covered with the manager's sheets and pillows, and covered with a strip of torn cotton wool.
You said that in the summer, who can cover the cotton wool.
Chen Wei had no choice but to take the clothes she carried with her and cover them for Wang Bian.
And the sheets and pillows were so dirty and greasy.
When I first went up the mountain, the family put their lives first, so they naturally didn't care about these things, and as soon as they went to bed every day, they fell asleep.
This period gradually stabilized, and the family's life began to become normal.
Wang Lu began to work to improve basic life.
All the sheets, pillows, and quilts have long been cleaned from the yard of the farmhouse at the bottom of the mountain.
Of course, by chance, there was a zombie in the yard of the farmhouse who was very dissatisfied with Wang Lu's behavior and decided to ask Wang Lu to compensate for it with fresh meat.
Wang Lu graciously gave it an arrow or a knife as compensation.
Everyone is happy, the zombie is really dead, no longer have to worry about where to eat meat every day, Wang Lu turned the zombie's home around, collected all kinds of daily necessities, and tried his best to use the waste.
After getting the new four-piece bag yesterday, the whole family changed into it.
The pillow is actually duck down.
It's huge, Wang Lu saw it in the supermarket before, and he didn't dare to buy it when he looked at the price card.
I don't know how the bedding store in Ludao got such expensive goods, rural people are real, except for the newlyweds getting married, few people will go to the bedding store to buy things, isn't it a quilt, the newly harvested cotton, pay a few dollars for the cottonmaker to beat it tightly, it is a bed of thick and soft cotton wool, pull some silk to come, and take a big needle to sew it, it is the best quilt.
This eiderdown pillow must have been in the store for a while, and it was cheaper for Wang Lu's family after the last.
Wang Lu got out of bed and turned out of the bedroom, Wang Bi'an was standing in the courtyard, brushing his teeth with a toothbrush, and when he saw Wang Lu going out, he called "Dad" vaguely.
Wang Lu frowned: "I only used a little bit of toothpaste, look at your mouth, there is not even white foam." This is a bad habit of Wang Bi'an, he doesn't like to use toothpaste when he is young, even if he is stared at by Wang Lu, the toothpaste squeezed on the toothbrush is only the size of a needle's eye.
Wang is more stupid than the installation, hehe laughs.
Wang Lu didn't bother to pay attention to this stinky boy - when he found a girlfriend in the future, he would know the importance of brushing his teeth seriously.
Wang Lu entered the kitchen, Chen Wei was sitting behind the stove to add firewood, and said, "Get up?" I just fetched water from the back mountain. ”
The water used at home is all picked from the living spring water found by Bi'an, the king of the back mountain.
At the beginning, Chen Wei only had a small basin that could be used to carry water, the basin was too small to hold much water, and the family needed a lot of water a day, so Chen Wei had to run back and forth several times. Although it is not tiring, it is too tormenting.
This problem was not solved until Wang Lu brought several large plastic buckets from the bottom of the mountain, the kind of half-human-high barrels containing chemicals, new, and not afraid of pollution.
I also found a flat pole and two buckets. ,
Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an swapped water from the spring and put it in a large plastic bucket, which was full and could be used for several days.
Wang Lu brushed his teeth, filled the basin with water and pulled a towel to wash his face: "What do you eat in the morning?" ”
Chen Wei smiled: "Eat steamed buns." ”
Steamed buns, pickle buns, green vegetable buns, shredded radish buns.
The flour was turned over by Wang Lu from a snack bar in the town, and yeast was found.
After getting to the mountain, Chen Wei liked it very much.
So I made dumplings, pancakes, and buns.
It's just that there is no fresh meat, and bacon is not suitable for filling.
So what is made is a variety of vegetable dumplings and vegetable buns.
Stained with soy sauce and rice vinegar, the family ate deliciously.
Wang Bi'an even shouted for Wang Lu to find a frying pan so that he could make raw fried food.
As a result, three days later, Wang Lu really brought a frying pan up the mountain.
Brush the bottom of the pot with oil, put it into the small steamed buns, pour in the water, the water has just overflowed the top of the buns, put it on the stove, and cover the lid.
When the water is almost gone, brush some oil on the buns, sprinkle with chopped green onions, simmer for a while, and hear the sound of the oil in the pot, you can start the pot.
- On the day of eating the fried rice, Wang Lu pouted and bit a fried fried with a cold air, and said vaguely: "When you put it in the pot, you should pour some rice vinegar water, and the dough will become golden and golden, and it will be more delicious." Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an didn't pay attention to him, they all buried their heads and grabbed raw food, and their mouths were empty.
Hearing Chen Wei say that he ate steamed buns in the morning, Wang Lu remembered that before going to bed last night, Chen Wei was tinkering in the kitchen for a long time, and it turned out that he was making noodles.
Wang Lu was anxious, walked to the pot after washing his face, lifted the lid, took a bun from the bamboo steaming board, and when it was a little cold, he stuffed it into his mouth.
It's a shredded radish bun.
"The bottom is still a little raw, and then steam it over high heat." Wang Lu said while stretching his neck and swallowing buns.
Chen Wei was very dissatisfied and muttered: "If you don't lift the lid, it will be fine for a while, and the steamed buns can't be lifted in advance." ”
Wang Lu coughed: "It's not that there is no glass pot lid, if you have a glass lid, take a look at it outside, and you will know if the bun is good." The day before yesterday, you steamed the egg custard, but because you opened the lid in advance, the inside of the egg custard was hard like a boiled egg, and the surface was not cooked. ”
"As long as you can." Chen Wei glared at Wang Lu: "Next time I go to the town to find a glass pot lid, there are many such lids in the supermarket." ”
Well, this is to find yourself unhappy. Wang Lu closed his mouth and scratched his head, the supermarket is a place where the zombies are piled up and the environment is closed and complicated, and he doesn't dare to go for the time being, he is still sweeping the streets, and strives to clean up all the zombies that can be seen on the street, so that his freedom of movement will be much greater.
When Wang Lu was in a hurry, Wang Bi'an trotted in: "Mom, early this morning, the chicken laid three more eggs. ”
Chen Wei turned out from behind the stove, reached out to take the egg in Wang Bi'an's hand, and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Yo, it's still hot." ”
Wang Bi'an grabbed a handful of millet from a bag next to him and ran out again: "I'll reward them." ”
It's all rice that hasn't been threshed.
Wang Lu and Chen Wei didn't know how to thresh by hand, and tried to peel it by hand - well, it turns out that there is no more stupid idea in the world.
Speaking of which, Yonggang City is the first place to plant rice in human civilization, the Hemudu site is here, 7,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Neolithic Age have planted rice here, as a result, in the 21st century, their unworthy descendant Wang Lu Chen Wei, but not even threshing.
Wang Lu reluctantly recalled the tools used by primitive people to thresh when he visited the Hemudu Museum, as if he needed to have a stone mortar, make a pestle from the roots of the tree, put the rice grains in the mortar, and pound them with a pestle to thresh.
Not to mention anything else, this stone mortar king road alone can't be finished.
Luckily, the farmers in the town have enough rice in their homes that the family won't have to think about threshing for a long time.
So the rice was carried up the mountain by Wang Lu and fed to the chickens and sheep.
It's a bit of a tyrannical feeling.
However, these paddies will also deteriorate, and the national grain depot still sells aged grain as feed every year.
Therefore, Wang Lu did not feel guilty at all.
What he is worried about now is another thing: "Alas, there is no fresh meat to eat, wife, do you think it is good for us to kill a chicken and eat it." ”
Eating no meat, the ancients and modern people's pursuit is the same, they are all low-level taste, no noble sentiments, but people are still written in the book, passed on for thousands of years, this only shows a truth, eating meat, is really a very enjoyable thing.
Chen Wei immediately turned into a tigress: "No way, don't even think about it, these chickens are all used to lay eggs!" In fact, not only laying eggs, Chen Wei also dreamed of laying eggs and laying chickens, and even instigated Wang Lu to find a rooster from the bottom of the mountain, so that the hens could live a "sexual" life.
Wang Lu shrunk his neck: "People just think about it." ”
Chen Wei glared at him again, and suddenly clapped her hands: "By the way, let's raise rabbits at home, rabbits are the best at giving birth to rabbits, and they are littered several times a year, rabbit meat can be braised or dried, the taste is delicious, the nutrition is good, it is much more nutritious than pork, and it is high protein." Wang Bian is growing his body, and he can't always eat vegetables. ”
Wang Lu had a bad feeling and just wanted to sneak out of the kitchen.
Chen Wei had already smiled and said softly to Wang Lu: "Husband, you are the most amazing, think of a way, go to the village below the mountain to see, there are quite a lot of people in the countryside who raise rabbits." As long as you find a pair of rabbits, I promise to raise you a big nest next year. ”
Yes, I've got my head on the ground again.
Who made our fat man have the ability?
A man with the ability has a lot of responsibilities.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Go, our journey is the sea of stars! - Wait, we'll have to deal with the rabbit first.
