The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 44

And even if he can't do farm work, he will raise some chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the yard to pass the time.

The eMule didn't drive very fast, it took about 15 minutes from the market to the door of Li Yuan's house.

Not long after Li Yuan got into the car, he paid the driver the money, but even so, the old man still thoughtfully helped Li Yuan move things from the car when he got off the car.

Although Li Yuan stopped him several times, he still didn't stop him.

And the briquettes in the yard heard the movement at the door, and started to scream in a childish voice from a distance.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard the shouts in the yard.

This little guy, I really read it right, he is a good young man who looks after the house.

"Ball, it's me!"

Li Yuan called out to the briquettes.

Far away from the gate, Li Yuan was startled when he saw the briquette's figure, and then quickly ran to the gate to meet Li Yuan, wagging his tail even more.

After Nut heard the movement, he immediately crossed the gate and climbed directly onto Li Yuan's shoulder.

Li Yuan touched the nut, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, go to the side to play first, and I'll give you something delicious later."

Upon hearing the words, Nut followed Li Yuan's footsteps obediently, and while Li Yuan was speaking, he had already opened the wooden door and moved everything into the yard.

The briquette was even more decent, holding a bag of vegetables bought by Li Yuan with its small tiger teeth, dragging and dragging all the way, helping to move things into the yard.

That way, it's very funny.

After a brief tidying up of the things he bought, Li Yuan rested for a while, and then he was ready to start nailing plastic sheets to the windows.

After all, the weather is getting colder and colder now, and it might be frosty at any time. If the windows are sealed up one day earlier, it will be warmer one day sooner.

I saw that Li Yuan borrowed some straight straw from the next door, and then split the straw from the middle with a sickle.

Spread out the plastic sheet and cut it to the size that Li Yuan had measured before.

Roll up the edge of the plastic sheet with straw, draw the position on the window, calculate the position of the nail to be nailed, and then... hammer it down!
The windows of the old house are all wooden window frames, so after a few hammers, they have already been nailed in.

However, this plastic sheet is also very particular. The place where the window leaks air should be blocked with plastic sheeting, and a bottle should be used to support it in the middle to ensure that the plastic sheet does not stick to the window.

Only in this way can the sealed windows be kept warmest.

Obviously, Li Yuan is quite experienced in sealing windows, and after three times, five times and two divisions, the position has been fixed.

After placing the plastic bottle and putting the plastic cloth on top, there is only the last step left, the back cover.

Roll it up with straw as usual, find a good location, nail it, and add the front and rear windows together. In less than half an hour, Li Yuan has sealed all of them.

Shaking the dust off his body, looking at the sealed window, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth, apparently recalling his childhood days.

But sealing it with plastic sheeting was only the beginning, because the windows of Li Yuan's old house were really leaking too much air, so when he went to the market just now, Li Yuan bought cotton for ten yuan.

Put all the cotton in the house into the gaps in the windows, and you're done.

However, this busy work took another half an hour to pass.

Just after Li Yuan stuffed all the cotton, Li Yuan heard the sound of a tricycle engine coming from outside the yard.

Li Yuan was overjoyed, it seemed that the uncle should have brought him cabbage.

Sure enough, the uncle's voice was heard from outside the courtyard in the next second.

"Xiaoyuan! Are you at home?"

Li Yuan quickly put on his shoes and got off the kang.

"Uncle, you're at home!"

While speaking, the door has been opened and walked towards the gate.

The uncle said with a smile: "I haven't walked this way for several years, and suddenly came here, I really don't know which one is, haha!"

Li Yuan: "That's right, I haven't returned to my hometown for several years, and it happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I will come back for a while."

Uncle: "By the way, Xiao Yuan, the cabbage is packed for you, please read the name."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Don't look at Uncle, I still don't trust you, just put it aside for me."

The uncle smiled and said, "Haha, that's fine."

While speaking, the uncle had already taken the cabbage out of the car, and Li Yuan also followed to help. In less than 2 minutes, a pile of Chinese cabbage had been moved to the yard.

Even if he didn't have a title, Li Yuan knew that the uncle must have picked a big and good cabbage for him to keep, and the title must be full.

This pile of Chinese cabbage cost Li Yuan a total of 92 yuan, and the change of the two yuan was erased even by the uncle.

"Uncle, if you are not in a hurry, go into the house and drink some hot water before leaving?"

Li Yuan greeted with a smile.

The uncle shook his head: "No, there are two cabbages to be delivered later, I will come back when I am free."

After finishing speaking, the uncle got into the car and left towards the end of the village.

After the windows were sealed, what Li Yuan had to do was to stock up sauerkraut.

In the villages in the Northeast, basically every year before winter, the family will save a jar of sauerkraut for winter.

And in the big dishes in the Northeast, sauerkraut can often be seen.

Like stewed sauerkraut and sauerkraut dumplings, the sauerkraut used is all homemade.

One is because the sauerkraut made at home tastes better, and the other is that the pickled vegetables bought outside are much cleaner.Secondly... In the Northeast, accumulating sauerkraut has long been a tacit inheritance, and it can be regarded as one of the characteristics of the Northeast.

Li Yuan clearly remembered that when he was a child, before winter, there would always be a big vat in the house, and a big stone was placed on the vat to wait for the sauerkraut to ferment.

And every time the old sauerkraut, my mother would turn red from the cold, but even so, she still didn't say a word.

Li Yuan's favorite food is sauerkraut heart dipped in sugar, so every time the sauerkraut heart is preserved by his mother, she will put some sugar for herself to eat.

But because it's a hair product, you can't eat too much, so every time it looks like it's still unfinished.

As early as the first day when Li Yuan came home, he had already discovered the big vat that he used to store sauerkraut when he was a child, so he didn't buy it, but moved the vat to the yard.

The mouth of the vat was [-] centimeters, and the height was as high as Li Yuan's thigh. Because it was an old vat, the vat weighed dozens of kilograms, no less than the weight of a boy in his teens.

When a normal person moves the vat, he always borrows strength along the base on the ground every time, and then rolls the vat out, but Li Yuan is lucky enough to carry the vat out directly.

After filling a bucket of clean well water, Li Yuan carefully cleaned the old tank.

Because it has not been used for a long time, although the tank mouth has been blocked with something, there is still a lot of dust.
