This morning, it was still the secretary's aunt who took two people to help the educated youths cook.

And they also brought food, and explained that they would fire alone at noon. So a group of educated youths discussed taking turns cooking, in pairs and twos, and combined freely.

Liu Xiangyang and Shen Jinqin are the first group, one is responsible for lighting the fire, and the other is responsible for making noodles. They also plan to show their hands at noon and cook something delicious for everyone.

As a result, Liu Xiangyang stuffed his head and added firewood to the stove, and he didn't bother to check the situation in the pot at all.

When Shen Jinqin finished the noodles, he found that there was no water in the iron pot at all, and it was burning red at the moment. In desperation, she hurriedly scooped a spoonful of water from the water tank and poured it in.

As a result, there was a "click", and a long gap cracked in the big iron pot......

So, after they inquired about it, they went to the consignment point to buy the pot.

Wang Manyin shook his head speechlessly: "The consignment point does not sell iron pots, if you want to buy it, you must go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but you need iron pot tickets." You'd better find a branch secretary and ask him to send someone to the Shibijie Commune to help you make the pot. ”

In these years, the iron pot can be repaired if it is broken. In addition, there are water tanks, porcelain bowls, and basins that can also be curium.

Hearing this, both of them were a little disappointed.

In the end, they bought two catties of fruit candy at the sales point, and bought some kerosene with the ticket they had just issued and left.

After the two left, Wang Manyin continued the mud kiln.

It had been busy for less than five minutes when someone called for the door again.

At noon, he didn't do much work at all, just busy dealing with customers.

When he was about to start work in the afternoon, Sun Shaoan appeared in front of the cave.

"Shao'an, why are you here? Didn't go to work today? I'll pour you water. Wang Manyin was surprised.

He was just about to go back to the house when he was stopped again.

"Brother Manyin, you don't need to pour water, I'm not thirsty. I heard from the people in the village who bought things that you were in the mud kiln, so I came to help for two days, and the tools were ready. ”

"Thank you for that, but no, I'm busy coming here alone."

To be honest, Wang Manyin really didn't want to trouble his old father-in-law's family. In order to earn work, people didn't have time to repair their caves, but ran over to help him.

It really made Wang Manyin a little embarrassed.

But since he has come, he will not say anything more, just keep everything in mind.

With Shao'an joining, the progress has been greatly accelerated.

By the time it got dark, the two had already painted most of the cave. It will be completed in half a day tomorrow at most.

"Brother Man Yin, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning." Seeing that it was dark and he couldn't do his job, Sun Shaoan immediately packed up his things and left.

Where would Wang Manyin let him go, he hurriedly stopped and said, "Shao'an, eat here at night." I'm going to wash my hands and cook......"

"No, Brother Manyin, the family should have done it well." Sun Shaoan struggled to leave.

When the two were pushing and pulling, they suddenly heard a few wild screams from rhubarb not far away.

Then, it rushed over and pounced on Sun Shaoan with its mouth open.

"Rhubarb, stop!" Wang Manyin scolded urgently.

Shao'an's side was also frightened, and he stood in place and didn't dare to move.

This dog is too protective of the master, if he shouted half a second late just now, he would have been bitten on the thigh.

In the winter, the wound is not easy to heal.

"Shao'an, don't let me, I'll eat here tonight."

"Okay," Sun Shaoan nodded, looking at the earth dog still with palpitations.

"Rhubarb, go back." Wang Manyin touched the dog's head and reprimanded.

Although this guy is smart, he doesn't understand the complex behavior of human beings, and apparently just took their push as a fight.

The ingredients are limited, and Wang Manyin doesn't cook any complicated dishes.

A plate of soft scrambled eggs, and a plate of scrambled red in the snow.

Snow red, also known as wild spicy cabbage, belongs to the cruciferous family. It resembles a canola rape, but with small thorns on the stems and leaves.

This kind of wild vegetable can be found all year round, can grow in snowy days, and the leaves are green and shiny, which is a rare winter wild vegetable on the Loess Plateau.

Every autumn and winter, many families will go to the fields to dig and eat.

It has a slightly bitter and spicy taste, and it must be scalded with boiling water before stir-frying, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow.

However, Wang Manyin's these are not from the wild, but they were dug from the space before, and they taste much better.

The food is still corn nests, plus half a pot of millet porridge.

Looking at the food on the table, Sun Shaoan hesitated and said, "Brother Man Yin, do you eat corn nests every meal, is there enough food?" ”

He saw very clearly just now that the clay pot was full of corn nests, and there were no sorghum nests, indicating that people usually eat like this.

Wang Manyin groaned for a moment and decided to reveal something: "Shao'an, your sister and I are about to get married, and we are also a family." I'll also tell you the truth, I've made some money outside in the past two years. I don't dare to guarantee anything else, when the orchid gets married, it's still okay to eat corn nests all at once. ”

This can be regarded as a foreshadowing in advance, so that his brother-in-law's family will no longer be entangled in the production team in the future.

Hearing this, Shao'an didn't ask again.

Since Wang Manyin quietly settled the relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative, Sun Shaoan decided that this brother-in-law was not an ordinary person, and everyone looked down on him before.

The two of them are basically their own family, they are not polite to each other, and they are more comfortable eating.

After padding his stomach, Wang Manyin directly scooped two halves of loose wine and put them in front of each other.

Neither is he advised to drink, but to each one his own to drink.

Running your own sales outlets, at least it's much more convenient to drink than before.

After the two of them had eaten, Wang Manyin remembered about catching sparrows, and stopped Sun Shao'an, who was going to go home, and asked him to go with him.

"Just those straw stacks last time?" Sun Shaoan immediately became interested.

Catch a few sparrows and beat the tooth sacrifice, of course he is willing.

In this way, the two locked the kiln door and walked towards the wheat field behind the village with the rhubarb.

The weather wasn't too good tonight, and the hazy moonlight was still enough for them to see the road.

The two of them walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Rhubarb followed closely behind, sniffing at the grass all the way.

Just before the straw stack, the guy suddenly made a low voice.

"Stop, Rhubarb has found something, probably a hare." Wang Manyin hurriedly stopped Shao'an.

During this time, he and Tugou already had a deep tacit understanding, and they could easily understand the meaning expressed in each other's barks.

The weather is more than 10 degrees below zero, and although it has not yet snowed, the hares also like to hide by the wheat straw stacks to avoid the cold.

The next moment, I saw Rhubarb walking forward silently.

Immediately, one fluttered.

"Clucking ......" was accompanied by two low bird calls, and there was no movement at all.

Then, Rhubarb returned with a ball of stuff in his mouth.

"It's a pheasant!" Sun Shaoan whispered with excitement.

This thing can be eaten more than sparrows, and with more artichoke radish, it is enough for the family to eat beautifully.

However, Wang Manyin regretted that the pheasant's neck was bitten off, and he would definitely not be able to feed it.

However, let the big surprises be yet to come.

After the rhubarb put down the pheasant, he ran back to the wheat straw stack to look for it. Soon, he returned with a pheasant in his mouth. After searching for several wheat straw stacks, they caught three pheasants in a row.

Next, Wang Manyin and Sun Shaoan also began to act, looking for sparrows along the wheat straw stacks.

Unlike pheasants, which hide at the base of the straw stack, sparrows are more likely to burrow halfway through the straw stack.

Moreover, they are small in size, and tend to drill deeper in cold weather, so they need to be carefully touched by hand.

The two of them searched through several stacks of wheat straw and caught more than 20 sparrows.

Coupled with the three pheasants caught by Rhubarb, tonight is definitely a full harvest.

Wang Manyin asked Shao'an to take a pheasant home with more than ten sparrows, and the rest were taken away by him.

A few sparrows can wait for a barbecue for supper, and by the way, treat rhubarb to this hero.

As for the two pheasants, he plans to get them to the supply and marketing cooperatives tomorrow. One gave gifts to Director Guo's family, and the other invited Liu Qingli to eat.
