Chapter 5 Life is worse than food

readx;

When you don't have the capital to tilt your head behind your back and tilt the corners of your mouth and squint at people, lowering your head is a good gesture. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When one day they have the strength, those who have lowered their heads before, those who have whispered their anger, and those who have bent will be brought back.

At least that's what Wu Xi thought in his heart, so he lowered his head very low and bent his waist very standardly.

Father Wu said that he was unwilling to go back, saying that Wu Xi's age was still young and he couldn't withstand the intensity of labor on the construction site, and he was willing to go to the construction site to serve instead of Wu Xi, as long as the county magistrate could agree, he was willing to pay an extra tax next year.

Wu Xi is like a pure tenant, and Daddy Wu, a landlord, is forcing countless debts on his head, giving him a feeling that you can't pay off your debts if you don't work hard.

A person secretly hid in the corner to wipe his tears, Wu Xi swore that this was the first time he shed tears, and it would be the last.

Daddy Wu's suffering should be over.

wiped away his tears, and appeared in front of Daddy Wu with a smile, saying that the crops he planted in the yard were the foundation of their existence, and nothing else mattered.

After that, Daddy Wu left without looking back, which suddenly made Wu Xi feel that his life was not as valuable as the crops that would be all over the ground for generations to come.

Originally, Cao Caohui wanted to leave him for a light meal, but he waved his hand and refused.

It seems that as long as I go back a little later, my life will be gone.

Wu Xi is indeed not alarmist, in his plan, offering potatoes and corn to the superior is the first step.

Relying on the Donghuamen roll call to the top position, Wu Xi doesn't think he has the ability, take out the poems after the Song Dynasty, the bubble girl is okay, and writing classical Chinese is really not his strong point.

jumped off the ox cart with many servants, and Wu Xi was led by a mother-in-law to the back kitchen to help the stove.

I have to admit that Cao Hui still takes good care of himself, and in the back kitchen, he got a job as a fire.

This Wu Xi used to do it, when he was a child, his family was poor, he lived in the mountains in the countryside, he went to school during the day, and after school in the afternoon, he went up the mountain with the adults to work, and he couldn't see his five fingers in the dark, so he came down from the mountain.

After arriving home, Wu Xi did the work of lighting the fire, so that he could eat earlier.

Although it was very bitter at that time, it was very happy, and the family was reunited together, talking and laughing, so unhappy.

Now that his parents have passed away, he is still alive alone in the world, and he is still living a very bad life.

Now God is still pitiful, giving him a chance to start over, and he must seize it.

So let's start with this blower.

The science and technology of the Song Dynasty has been very developed, but it is still relatively cumbersome, large blowers, generally used for iron smelting, household are all windbags, which are made of cowhide, and it is very laborious to use.

At least Wu Xi is very unaccustomed to using it.

After a meal, I was tired and half dead.

Aunt Niu is a very good person, the man died early, leaving a few children unattended, and a man surnamed Zhang saw that he was very pitiful, so he found such a job on the construction site.

While taking care of children, you can also earn some money to make ends meet, and you can earn three cents a day.

It is more than enough to buy a pound of rice for three dollars, and it is not very nervous to buy some household use for the rest.

"Your blowing posture is wrong, you haven't been in the kitchen before, starting tomorrow, you can calculate the accounts in the kitchen, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Aunt Niu saw that Wu Xi was not a working person at all, and she looked anxious.

"Is this possible? It's a burden on you for no reason. ”

Wu Xi finally agreed without taking a bite, if you don't give in to this kind of thing, people will say that you are not sensible.

"Okay, okay, you scholars, always like this, not real at all, born equal, but then there is desire, there is a division of labor, everyone does their own work, do their own duty. ”

Wu Xi is completely convinced, an aunt can have such an insight, and he is ashamed of himself.

"Then thank you, Auntie. ”

Wu Xi really didn't want to stay where he was looking for abuse, so he took the opportunity to leave, and he didn't want to eat the rice, the big pot of rice they made was really not flattering, and the whole brown rice was poured into a big pot and there were not a few grains of rice missing.

When you eat noodles, you just pour the noodles into a pot and boil them, is that what people eat?

No, even if you don't die of exhaustion like this, you will starve to death.

When you eat at night, you show them your unique skills, and the meal always has to be changed.

At this time, Wu Xi especially missed the time when he was on the mountain, set up a stove, put a brazier, and threw some tofu, yuba, and mutton into a hot pot boiled together, and several people sat around the stove and drank some liquor, how comfortable it was.

After finishing the account, the people who came down finished eating, helped their stomachs and left, Wu Xi came over mysteriously and asked to make dinner by himself, and those who wanted to eat could eat together, if they really couldn't fit it, they wouldn't be reluctant.

Aunt Niu was going back, but when she saw that Wu Xi was going to cook, she wanted to stop her, but she couldn't open her mouth, she was half a child, and she didn't understand what she would cook, it was a waste of food.

But young people have to be encouraged, don't they?

Seeing Wu Xi rubbing a bowl of noodles on the board, Aunt Niu poured a bowl of water and sat on the threshold from afar and looked at it with interest.

Wu Xi felt that the strength of the noodles was almost enough, so he picked up a rolling pin to spread the noodles flat, and then cut them into strips half a finger's width.

The water in the pot had already been tumbling under Han Niu's care, and Wu Xi put the noodles on his arm and threw them into the pot one by one.

After doing this, I added cold water to it three times, and Aunt Niu remembered it very clearly, it was indeed only three times.

After the pot is cooked, sprinkle a little chopped green onion, put a little coarse salt, pour hot oil on the noodles, stir well, and a fragrance of green onion wafts into everyone's nose.

Wu Xi squatted in the corner and ate happily, and everyone watched greedily without saying a word.

Although he was very full, seeing the sweetness of Wu Xi's food, he couldn't help but want to take the bowl of noodles for himself.

In the end, reason prevailed over desire, and it wasn't until Wu Xi put the last piece of noodles into his mouth that the energy that everyone was holding back slowly let go.

"I see that you are very skilled, who taught you?" Aunt Niu asked after taking a sip of water.

Wu Xi paused, as if trying to remember who had given him this craft.

After searching for a long time, there was really no one, but when I was a child, when my mother rolled noodles, I stood next to my mother and watched in order to eat them earlier, and I learned it over time.

Although he never cooked food in later generations, and the food gods and horses were solved outside, it did not affect becoming a culinary god in ancient times.

"No, I just thought it should be so delicious, so I did it, who knows it's really delicious, if you want to eat it in the future, I'll leave it to you, I still have a lot of homemade ways to eat here, and it's guaranteed to be much better than what you used to make." ”

Wu Xi really didn't know how to explain to her the origin of this oily noodles, and he justified that it was originally his magic weapon to deal with his girlfriend, and this is no exception.

Aunt Niu smiled and didn't speak, what others didn't want to say, there was no point in continuing to ask.

I got up and put down the bowl of water, simply cleaned up, and left, there is still a family waiting to eat, if I go back late, my in-laws should count their disobedience to women's morals.

People, it's not easy to live.

The three-month term of service is about to expire, during which Cao Hui rarely comes, and even if he comes, he just wanders around and leaves, and he will not have contact with anyone.

I didn't expect Cao Hui to come over today, looked at the bowls of the laborers, was very satisfied, scooped a spoonful of Zhenzi from the pot and tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up, he fished a bowl of noodles for himself, poured the Zhengzi, squatted with the laborers and ate it.

While eating, I kept praising it over and over again.

Loosening the belt of his trousers, he pointed at Aunt Niu with chopsticks and was about to ask who made it, chewing noodles with his mouth, and he couldn't even speak.

Aunt Niu had already guessed his meaning from his actions, pointed to Wu Xi and said that he did it, in the past three months, he has taught everyone a lot of cooking tricks, he is not very old, and he lives in the mountains, I really don't know how he learned it.

Cao Hui got up and took a sip of water before swallowing the pasta in his mouth, and ate two more mouthfuls greedily before saying: "It's been a few months, and the food here is just like it, the food at the north gate is simply not eaten by people, and I want to vomit when I look at it, compared to it, you are really enjoying it." ”

"Tuo Cao Dutou's blessing, send Wu Xi to us, if it weren't for his commissioning date, we would really be reluctant to let him go. The people below began to talk nonsense.

Since Wu Xi came here, the food has improved significantly, and sometimes there is a surplus that can be brought back to his family.

is this love, these people will miss you in their hearts.

People are emotional creatures, especially when you treat their relatives as if they were your relatives, they will take out their hearts and dedicate them to you.

Perhaps this simple quality has been deeply seared into their souls, and the deeds of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge in the future will not happen to these people, Wu Xi can rest assured that he will be good to others to get more people to be good to him.

There are no fools in this world.

"Boy, go sit down in Fude Lane after dinner, I have something to discuss with you. After Cao Hui was full, he had to go to other places to go around, and when he left, he said to Wu Xi.

Everyone gave Wu Xi a thumbs up, this is Cao Dutou to teach face-to-face alone, and the opportunity for promotion is coming.

Wu Xi smiled at everyone, which was a response to everyone's blessings, but he was thinking in his heart about how to pull Cao Hui in if he wanted to make a blower.
