Chapter 45: I Can Do It
"Ahem, isn't this how much mood you have seen lately? Have some good food! "You can't tell her husband that her daughter misses her ex-husband, right?
Xia Dashan looked at the others in the cave. Not too emotional? No way... Why does he feel like he's been happy these days? After all, there is so much meat hoarded!
But who let his daughter-in-law be in charge, he just listened!
"Okay!"
Zhou Huiniang saw that her husband was busy, she thought about it and went out with a bamboo basket.
It's getting late.
"Ouch my God!" Zhou Huiniang stepped into the cave with a basket and happily: "Do you know? I picked up something today! ”
Liu Qingyun walked over curiously: "What did you pick up?" ”
Xia Dashan teased: "Could it be that you have picked up gold?" ”
Zhou Huiniang glanced at him with disgust: "What is gold, gold is not as good as food now... Here! She lifted the cloth from the basket and let everyone look at it.
"Eggs!" Liu Qingyun covered his mouth and shouted.
"So many eggs?" Xia Dashan walked over and touched one: "It doesn't look like a wild egg..."
Zhou Huiniang nodded: "Yes!" I wondered if someone's chickens came out to lay eggs, but wild eggs weren't that big! "Countryside people don't understand that wild eggs are more nutritious than domestic eggs, so they think that domestic eggs are definitely better than wild eggs! It's big after all!
Xia Dashan: "... Who can raise chickens here? "Besides, so far, aren't there only Chang Qing left except for them? Just those three men, they can't cook well, and they still raise chickens? He didn't believe it when the sky fell!
"Don't care, just eat some of it!" Zhou Huiniang waved her hand and put the eggs away. There were about fifteen or sixteen eggs in the basket, which she had seen in the field where she was digging wild vegetables.
To be honest, she also felt very strange.
How coincidentally, she just happened to see it. And so coincidentally, a dozen eggs in a pile? It's like someone deliberately left it there waiting for her to pick it up!
I have to say that Zhou Huiniang is the truth.
Xia Huai touched his nose and went to help choose vegetables with some weakness. The egg was indeed put by her, and she knew that her mother always liked to go there to dig wild vegetables, so she put it there in advance.
Anyway, there are so many people in this mountain, and they are generally not picked up. It's really that there are too many things in her space, chickens, ducks and geese, laying eggs every day, instead of piling them up in the space, it is better to take them out to improve her life.
Add water to the clay pot, put in the washed stick bones, and replace the beets with beets if there are no turnips. There are no extra ingredients, so simply start a fire and stew, about half an hour or so, add a little salt.
When the bone broth is stewed, the wild vegetables are cleaned by the way, the wild boar is cut into thin slices, and the iron pot is set on the fire. When the pan is hot, scoop up a spoonful of pork and put it in.
With a 'zila' sound, the lard was evenly smeared in the iron pan by the spatula. Pour in the meat slices, stir-fry until slightly yellow and charred, and then pour in the washed wild vegetables and stir-fry with the meat slices.
The stir-fry is so fragrant, several times more fragrant than the aroma of boiling and stewing. Shi and Rui Ge'er stared at the iron pot with their eyes, eager to immediately pounce on it and grab the food.
"Soon, soon, wait!" Zhou Huiniang shouted while stir-frying: "Daddy, are the scones baked?" ”
It was definitely not enough to just drink soup and eat vegetables, so I baked some bread to eat.
Xia Dashan didn't speak, because this job was snatched away by his son.
Xia Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and shouted, "It's almost over!" ”
When the meal is cooked, the family sits down in a circle. Some drink soup with scones in one hand and a bowl in the other, and eat stir-fried vegetables from time to time. Some break the scones into small pieces and throw them in a bone broth bowl to soak and eat, and then stir-fry the meat slices in one bite. In this life, the gods don't change!
"Huh?" Xia Qi turned his head and looked at the cake in Xia Huai's hand curiously: "What are you eating?" ”
"Huh? This is to sandwich the meat slices into the cake, which is more convenient..."
Xia Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaohuai, you are too smart!" I haven't seen this way of eating, if only we weren't fleeing a disaster, such a good idea, we will definitely make a lot of money! ”
Wang Tieniule laughed: "Xiao Dong, you are a scholar, why do you think about being a businessman?" He didn't mean anything else, the farmers and businessmen, and the merchants were ranked in the lowest class, which is a truth that the common people know.
So whether they are rich or mud-legged, their long-cherished wish in life is to have a scholar in their family, to ascend to the sky in one step, and to become an official and make a fortune.
Xia Qi was stunned, and suddenly smiled: "No, I didn't say that I would go, my family will definitely make money by doing this business." And who would hate having a lot of money? ”
Wang Tieniu nodded, too, although the status of businessmen is low, they are rich! Many officials, don't look at the scenery on the surface, they actually live miserable and tight.
Listening to his son's words and observing the cake in his daughter's hand, Xia Dashan touched his chin and pondered.
I have to say, it's a good idea.
Xia Huai finished eating in two bites, and suddenly said: "Daddy, let's hurry up and finish the things we need these days, I looked at the weather and felt that it was better to leave earlier." ”
"By the way, Dad, I want you to make me a trolley, it's not that traditional style, I'll tell you about it later."
Xia Dashan nodded casually, he didn't think much about it, just when his daughter was going to pull something or want to push Rui Ge'er away, as for improving or something, what could it be improved? It's nothing more than a change in size and comfort!
It wasn't until Xia Huai came to him and asked him for details that Xia Dashan realized that something was wrong.
"What? Want to make a carriage like a box? Four wheels at the bottom? Still going to layer? ”
Xia Huai nodded: "Yes!" He asked with some hesitation: "Dad, can't you do it?" ”
Xia Dashan's tiger body was shocked, and he immediately shook his head frantically: "How is it possible?" I'm sure I can! "How can a man say he can't? If it doesn't work, it has to work! If you can't do it, you have to create opportunities!
Without saying a word, he went directly to the forest with a big knife, planning to choose a good tree to make the world's best trolley for his daughter!
Although he is a businessman who travels around, he also has a study of carpentry, after all, he went to the carpenter's house to help when he was a child, and he learned a few hands. And because I am well-informed, although I have not heard the kind of car that Xia Huai said, it is not impossible to give it a try!
Xia Dashan was full of enthusiasm and carried back a cypress tree from the woods, and even stayed up all night to deal with the wooden strips, wooden blocks, and wood chips that needed to be used.
Just as they were preparing for their trip, Lin'an City fell silently.
There are long queues at the entrances of various medical centers in Lin'an County, crying, scolding, and fear.
"Doctor, doctor, help me, I don't want to die yet!" A withered man dragged the robed doctor with tears.
He looked terrible, the flesh on his face seemed to have been dehydrated by something, and only a layer of skin was attached to the bones, as were his limbs. The whole person walked like a dried corpse.
Not only him, but also the patients around him and behind him. One by one, like a demon asking for his life, he stretched out his claws to the doctor in the medical hall.
The doctor was so frightened that he retreated again and again, waving his hand and shouting: "I can't save it, I really can't save it!" It's a plague! Then he shouted in fear to the little guy in the shop, "Close the door, close the door quickly!" ”
