"Because I haven't grown my strength after eating meat, it's too wasteful of meat, so I'd better let you eat it!"

Wang Lian was innocent.

"Alas, my mother was joking with you just now. Eating meat is a lot of strength, but it's not immediate, you're still a child, and when you become an adult, eating meat will quickly grow your strength. ”

Wang Li listened to Liu Wan's words and became in a better mood.

Seeing that his mother didn't need help, he obediently took the bamboo shoots down the mountain first.

Liu Wan cut down two more bamboos on the mountain alone, then pruned the branches of the bamboos, and tied the three bamboos firmly together with the green vines on the side of the rocks.

After tying it up, Liu Wan put the bamboo on her shoulders and went down the mountain.

Wang Li actually regretted it a little halfway through, thinking that he shouldn't leave his mother alone on the mountain, there are snakes and bad people on the mountain, what if something happens to his mother.

Wang Li was hesitating to go up the mountain to find his mother, when he heard a "sparse commotion".

He raised his eyes and couldn't help but be shocked that it was his mother who was dragging a large bundle of bamboos down the mountain.

Wang Li subconsciously wanted to go up the mountain to help, but when he saw his mother walking forward with a relaxed expression on his face, Wang Li was dumbfounded.

"Li'er, why are you walking so slowly?"

Liu Wan had already seen her son and shouted loudly.

Wang Li: ......

When the two returned home, Liu Wan's shoulders collapsed, unloaded the bamboo, and threw it on the ground.

Wang Xiao had already dug a shallow soil pit under the pond, almost knee-high, an area of more than a dozen square meters.

To work for his own family, Wang Xiao spared no effort and sweated profusely with a pickaxe.

Liu Wan disliked that the pit dug by Wang Xiao was not deep enough and not big enough.

Wang Xiao said that he would immediately speed up the firepower and ensure that Liu Wan's request could be completed in the afternoon.

Liu Wan asked Wang Jing to cut the bamboo into sections, each about one meter long.

"Mother, you said you want to make paper, how do you make paper from bamboo?" Wang Li asked if he didn't understand.

"It's just the beginning, let's wait for the bamboo to soak in the water for a while, we can't wait, we can only use the paper we bought in the town for now."

Therefore, the pit should be dug larger, and the bamboo can be soaked more, and more paper can be made when the time comes.

Originally, you could soak bamboo in the pond, but there are fish and lotus flowers in the pond, and if you soak the bamboo, even the fish and lotus flowers will die by then. ”

"Hey, it's so hard to make your own paper!" Wang Jingdao.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart." Liu Wan replied.

Wang Jing: ...... My mother seems to have a lot of sense.

"Wang Xiao, what are you doing?"

Xie Tietou's loud voice came from afar.

"Uncle Xie, we are digging a pit, come, sit in the house."

Wang Xiao hurriedly came up from the pit, threw down the hoe, and took Xie Tietou into the house.

In the patio, Wang Xiao asked Wu Hui to boil hot water to make tea, washed his hands and feet, and treated the guests.

Wang Dazhi is gone, Wang Xiao is the eldest son, and he takes care of people and things, and he comes out of the way.

Liu Wan took the sugar slot and invited Xie Tietou to eat.

The sugar slot is cold, and the white sugar inside is solidified, but for the farmer's family, it is also a hearty treat.

Xie Tietou was not polite, so he ate a sugar slot with hot tea.

"Yo, yes, did you buy it in town? It's been years since I've eaten such a delicious sugar slot. ”

Xie Tietou boasted.

Before Liu Wan could praise him, she knew that he liked to eat, because she had already received a survival point from "Xie Tietou".

"My mother blew it herself." Seeing Xie Tietou coming to the house, Wang Jing, who hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, said proudly.

Liu Wan was a widow, and Xie Tietou didn't praise her much, just nodded to show her.

"Aunt Liu, I have already done what you asked me to do, Wang Qiang, Liu Meng, and Chen Qingyun in the village expressed their willingness to come as apprentices."

Taoyuan Village is a miscellaneous surname village, Wang surname is a big surname, Liu and Chen are small surnames, Wang Jing heard that he knew all three people, slightly younger than him, and they were all honest children in the village.

Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, if he recruited strong people, he was still worried that he would not be able to hold back, but now when he heard these people, he was relieved.

"Uncle Xie, you have a heart." Wang Xiao hurriedly thanked him.

"Hehe, no thanks, they will come over tomorrow, you see what work you have at hand for them to do, you can also prepare."

Xie Tietou said.

Liu Wan also expressed her gratitude.

Wang Xiao looked at Liu Wan when she went out, and asked Xie Tietou, do you know how to castrate pigs?

Xie Tietou......

After some explanation, Xie Tietou nodded to show that he understood: "It's simple, but when it was dealt with before, it was all killed prey, but now it is to deal with live creatures, and it is more troublesome to tie up the pigs, but it's no problem." ”

As soon as Wang Xiao heard the great joy, he asked Xie Tietou if he could deal with it now?

Xie Tietou was idle anyway, so he agreed.

So, Wang Xiao asked Wang Jing to fight together, and the two tied the pig with a straw rope, and Xie Tietou used the small dagger he usually handled with his prey as a scalpel, and it was done in a few clicks.

However, the worst thing in the process was the pig, which screamed in pain.

Wang Xiao heard the pig screaming, and the meat on his face was pumped piece by piece, which was seen by Xie Tietou.

Xie Tietou laughed afterwards and said, "Ah Xiao, how do you feel that you are very precious to it, you were cut with a knife, and you feel more distressed than anything else." ”

"Your own pig, can you not feel distressed?"

Wang Xiao worked hard to be strong, smiled unnaturally, and the flesh on his cheeks was still twitching, which made Xie Tietou very happy.

Wang Jing didn't even dare to say anything in front of Xie Tietou, he only dared to smile honestly, and there was inexplicable nervousness in front of him.

"Okay, I see that you have chickens and ducks, pigs and cattle, six animals are thriving, life is getting better and better, if the matter of fighting tigers is solved, there will be no worries."

Xie Tietou thought that Wang Xiao had supported the family and appreciated it greatly.

The two didn't hear the deep meaning of Xie Tietou's words, but Liu Wan did.

Nowadays, most people still don't think that a woman can support a family, and it's not surprising that Xie Tietou would think so.

Xie Tietou helped a lot, and Liu Wan came to invite him to stay for dinner.

Hearing Liu Wan raise his head, Wang Xiao and Wang Jingzi were very enthusiastic.

Xie Tietou excused himself, and Wang Jing hurriedly said:

"Uncle Xie, my cage is almost designed, you can just help me point it out."

"Okay."

As soon as he heard that Wang Jing had designed a tiger hunting cage, Xie Tietou was itching in his heart and wanted to see the truth.

So, Xie Tietou naturally stayed for dinner.

Hospitality, you must invite him to drink.

Liu Wan asked Wang Li to take the wine gourd to the grocery store at the entrance of the village to buy a pound of wine, gave him fifty yuan, and began to think about what to cook.

It happened that Wang Xiao went to the town and brought back a pair of pigs with water and pig scalps, which Liu Wan told him to buy.

Liu Wan began to marinate the small intestine and pig scalp.

The pig's large intestine is ready to make a vinegar large intestine.

Vinegared peanuts and garlic fungus.

The staple food is meatloaf.

The soup is a green vegetable and egg drop soup, which is lighter.
