Chapter 6: Big Cow, Out of Water
When Zhang Daniu saw her coming, he told her: "Remove the astringency from the bamboo shoots." ”
Zhou Yiran frowned, it turned out that the bamboo shoots had to do this process before eating.
Seeing that he was very busy, he kindly asked, "Do you need my help?" ”
"No, I can do these jobs, lady, go and rest!"
"Why don't I light the fire for you?" Zhou Yiran is not a lazy person, watching him busy and having nothing to do, he feels a little embarrassed.
Zhang Daniu saw that the lady had passed, so he hurriedly walked around and pulled her up.
"Don't burn the fire, you just listen to me, lady, go and rest!" Zhang Daniu was afraid that she would be tired.
After listening to his words, he glanced at the burning sticks in the stove hole, understood why there was no need to light the fire, and looked up at him.
"Okay, I'm out." Seeing Zhang Daniu nodding, she turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
I walked out of the kitchen, looked at the bamboo shoot shells on the ground, took the basket and went over to squat down, picked them all up and put them in the basket.
Zhang Daniu, who was not worried, saw her picking up the bamboo shoot shells on the ground, and came over to stop her.
"This thing will be itchy when it gets on the body, so it will be left to dry, dried and burned."
Zhou Yiran was stunned, obviously not knowing that he still wanted to dry this material, but thinking about the current situation at home, it was not strange that he was like this.
Zhang Daniu looked at the lady still standing here, and opened his mouth and said: "Lady, you really don't have to do anything, just do the work at home, your body is not very good, let's have a good rest!" ”
Speaking of this body, she also felt that it was not very good, with fine skin and tender meat, it is estimated that she used to be a pampered eldest lady, as for how to get here, she didn't know.
But these are just her conjectures, what the truth is, then see if there is that chance to know in the future.
Looking at the man staring at her, she pursed her lips and finally nodded.
"Okay!" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.
Zhang Daniu saw that she obediently went in to rest, and his serious face showed a smile, the smile was a little silly, but it was very innocent.
Zhou Yiran, who entered the house, was still not idle, trying to find something to do, but after turning around, she found that the house was cleaned up, and there was basically nothing for her to do.
I was helpless, so I could only resign myself to going to bed and lying down, looking at the thatched roof.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep like this.
When she slept this night, it was dark, so she quickly got up from the bed and tidied up her appearance before coming out.
Zhang Daniu, who was splitting bamboo strips in the yard, saw that she was awake, put down the work in his hand and got up, and patted the bamboo chips on his body.
"Lady, you're awake."
It's not nonsense, standing in front of you, it's not that it's hard to wake up and sleepwalk.
Glancing at the bamboo strip on the ground behind him, he knew what he was doing, and didn't say anything, but asked.
"What time is it now?"
"Unitary time."
At five o'clock in the evening, that is, from five o'clock to seven o'clock in the evening, it is now dark, and it is February, but I am afraid that it is about seven o'clock now.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Daniu thought that she should be hungry, and said, "I left you food in the kitchen pot, I'll go get it for you." ”
"No need, I'll go by myself, you're busy." After saying that, he turned around and walked briskly towards the kitchen.
Zhang Daniu looked at the lady who had already walked to the door of the kitchen, and then turned back to the place where he was sitting just now, picked up the knife and continued to make bamboo strips.
He wants to get all these bamboos out tonight, and then make baskets tomorrow afternoon.
When the basket is sold for money, he will buy delicious food for the lady, which is the ultimate goal in his heart.
In the kitchen, Zhou Yiran opened the lid of the pot, it was steaming, fanned the mist with her hands, stretched out her head and sniffed it.
"The color looks good, the taste should be good, it's just a little strange, where did this meat come from?"
Put down the lid of the pot, turned around and came out of the kitchen, and walked in front of Zhang Daniu.
"Big cow, where did the meat come from?"
Zhang Daniu was stunned at first, stunned by her sudden questioning, and then told her: "The meat was exchanged by me." ”
"Changed?" She frowned, in the morning she looked inside and out of this house, basically all in tatters, none of them were valuable, if you want to say that the valuable, it is estimated that the half-new baskets in this yard, and the bamboo shoots that came back in the afternoon.
It was clear that the man was lying.
His eyes gathered and he looked at him: "What did you get in exchange?" ”
"A rabbit."
"Where are the rabbits in our house, Zhang Daniu, please lie and use your brain." She was furious.
Zhang Daniu saw that the lady was angry, and hurriedly explained: "Lady, I didn't lie, I will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow morning, and I will return a rabbit to the family at that time." ”
After listening to his words, she knew that he really didn't lie, and she was a little shocked, she didn't expect him to do this.
Seeing him looking at himself, he couldn't say anything about him, so he asked in a soft voice: "Then have you eaten?" ”
Hearing that the lady cared about whether she ate or not, Zhang Daniu was very happy in his heart and nodded.
"I've eaten it, and those in the pot are reserved for the lady."
Given that he had a previous criminal record, Zhou Yiran suddenly said loudly: "You lied." ”
When she said this loudly, Zhang Daniu was stunned, and then said: "Lady, I really ate it, if the lady doesn't believe it, you can touch my stomach." ”
When he saw this, he believed what he said, turned around, and went into the kitchen again.
Zhang Daniu did eat it, but what he ate was different from what she ate, he ate a pot of wild vegetable soup with some bamboo shoots, he didn't touch the meat, and he was reluctant to eat even the rice, he was afraid to eat it, and the lady was not enough to eat.
In the kitchen, Zhou Yiran let go of eating because she knew that Zhang Daniu had eaten it.
One day, when she saw rice and meat, she had a great appetite, and soon a big bowl of rice was finished by her, and she also ate more than half of the fried meat with bamboo shoots, leaving some bamboo shoots.
Not to mention, this Zhang Daniu's cooking skills are good, and the fried meat with bamboo shoots is even better than the one in the hotel.
Suddenly I felt that this man was very good in other places except for poverty, at least he still had craftsmanship, so he would not starve to death.
After brushing the bowl and pot, he planned to boil himself bath water.
Turning to see that there was not much water left in the tank, he went out of the kitchen and said to him at the door:
"Big cow, there's not much water."
As soon as Zhang Daniu heard this, he put down his knife and got up, took two long-time buckets outside the kitchen and went out.
Watching him go out with a bucket and frowning, there won't be a well in the village, right?
She had seen the well during the day, in the middle of the village, but it was still some distance from there.
I started to regret telling him that there was no water.
However, he has already gone, and it is useless to regret it, so I can only wait for him to come back.
Go back to the kitchen, get the water from the bar into the pot and start the fire.
It's just that when the fire is lit, she gets into trouble.
