Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

In such an environment, every inch of skin on the body is sweating.

The sweat beads that emerged were immediately evaporated by the sun. Without the wind, the disappearing sweat beads would not make her feel any chill.

On the contrary, after the water from the sweat evaporated from the skin, the remaining salt and oil made her whole body sticky and uncomfortable.

If the leafy vegetable area has been hit or blown off, pick out all the edible leaves. The surviving vegetables need to be covered with a layer of soil again to bury the roots blown out by the strong wind.

Fortunately, the leafy vegetables are lettuce, spinach and bok choy, which are easy to grow, which makes her less distressed.

The pepper okra in the fruit and vegetable section and the beans, bitter melon and cucumber in the climbing section are not so indifferent.

The flowers of the former okra have been pollinated in the past few days and are about to enter the fruit-swelling period. Several plants were blown bare by the wind, but the peppers already had some fruits, and a few were blown off. I picked them all up. Take them back and mix in some calcium, magnesium, boron and wind element fertilizer later so that they can bloom and bear fruit normally in the future.

The latter's climbing area had begun to bear fruit. Many tender beans were blown to the ground, and there was also a small cucumber with a prickly top flower.

Zhao Yeqing picked up the cucumber, which was only as long as a finger. It was probably still very astringent. He took it back and fed it to the rabbits to see if they would eat it.

The watermelons and strawberries I planted before in the fruit area, although the watermelons are growing a little slowly, are at least still alive, but the strawberries are not. After the seedlings were transplanted, the temperature began to rise and the seedlings almost stopped growing. After last night's heavy rain, the leaves appeared. The condition of wilting.

Zhao Yeqing didn't plan to save any more, and just pulled them all out. Plants after rain were most likely to have problems, and if they got sick, they might become infected.

Special attention should be paid to cucumbers and tomatoes. After Zhao Yeqing mixed calcium, magnesium and boron at home, he also prepared Bacterial Bacteria and sprayed it on the leaves after sunset to prevent bacterial wilt disease.

Bacterial wilt is more likely to occur after rains. If you don't prevent it, it's a death sentence. There's no way to treat it, and it can spread through soil.

After she finished doing this, she saw that Mu Xi was still chopping bamboo strips, and there was already a pile at her feet.

"Do you need so many?"

Mu Xi drove the person squatting next to him back into the house, "I'll make more. The shelf in your shed is not stable. Order a few more layers to reinforce it. You are blushing abnormally. Go back and drink herbal tea and rest for a while. Be careful. Heat stroke.”

Zhao Yeqing washed his face obediently and felt a little refreshed when the cool spring water splashed on his face.

After checking that it was still early, she put the vegetable leaves she picked into the kitchen and picked some millet peppers.

It wasn't time to prepare dinner yet, so she walked out of the kitchen and closed the door.

After the rain last night, the rack of smoked wild boar meat was moved into the kitchen. Now it is no different from a sauna. It is useless to open the windows and there is no breeze.

Zhao Yeqing drank a bowl of herbal tea and poured another bowl for Mu Xi who was splitting bamboo strips under the eaves of the courtyard.

Mu Xi finished the drink in one breath and handed the bowl back to her.

Zhao Yeqing thought about tonight's dish, "Do you want to keep the rabbit skin? I'm not very good at handling it."

Mu Xi continued, "I'm not very professional, but I'm pretty good at it. You don't have to worry about it. I'll just take care of it later."

Today the insects in the forest were louder than usual, and the sounds of several unknown insects were mixed together, one after another.

Zhao Yeqing went back to her room and took a shower. She planned to take another shower later after cooking. In this weather, no matter how many times she took a shower, it would be too many.

The spring water in the mountains was cold, and it was no longer so cold when it was transported to her home through pipelines. She thought about taking a bath in the pool in a few days, which made her feel refreshed.

When he returned downstairs, Mu Xi had already nailed the shed outside, peeled off the rabbit skin, and left some bamboo strips piled behind the tool room. If there is any damage later, it can be replaced directly.

Mu Xi returned home and took a pack of transparent crystal particles, poured some into a basin, and melted them with water.

"alum?"

Mu Xi nodded and soaked the washed rabbit skin in it.

"Do you still have this thing at home?" Zhao Yeqing was a little curious. She had never really come into contact with this thing, but had only heard of its name.

This is what you use for blood tests.

"My grandpa used to buy it for foot baths. It can be used to sterilize bacteria."

"Then you are using this to soak the rabbit skin now for the purpose of sterilizing it?"

"Not exactly." Mu Xi took another salt shaker, took two spoonfuls and mixed it in. "It can dissolve the fat and muscle tissue on it. It needs to be soaked for more than ten hours. After it softens, it is scraped off and then tanned."

After Mu Xi finished speaking, he pointed at the rabbit meat that had been cut into small pieces in the bowl. "The knife has been changed and it has been marinated. I will just fry it in a while. You can go to sleep first."

Zhao Yeqing was a little sleepy. She didn't sleep well last night, but Mu Xi probably slept even worse. She was lying on the bench.

She kicked Mu Xi out of the house and said, "Go back and take a shower. Your body smells like sweat. I'll call you when I'm ready to cook."

Mu Xi really didn't sleep well last night. Whenever there was thunder outside, Zhao Yeqing's sleeping body would tremble involuntarily.

The girl did not sleep peacefully. From time to time, a few vague words came out of her mouth, but she could not hear them clearly. She could tell from the frown on her face that it was not a good dream.

He stayed there until dawn, and after the rain stopped, he squinted for more than two hours.

After taking a shower, I returned to the living room and waited. The fan whirred and I couldn't control myself and fell asleep.

When he woke up, there was already food on the table, including minced meat, sauerkraut, stir-fried vegetables, cold rain greens, and diced rabbit with fresh peppers left over from the morning.

Zhao Yeqing sat on a chair and took a nap, his head moving little by little.

The time between them was quite long, long enough for her to grow up, long enough for her to learn to cook so many dishes, long enough for her green-white fingers to have thin calluses.

Maybe it was because Mu Xi had been staring at him for a long time, so Zhao Yeqing opened his eyes in a daze.

"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"

"I screamed, but you didn't wake up, like a pig." Mu Xi opened his eyes and told lies.

"How is it possible?" Zhao Yeqing is very confident in his current vigilance, "It's nonsense, let's eat your food."

The scent of fresh pepper and rabbit on the table penetrated his nose. Mu Xi had no habit of not eating onions, ginger and garlic, and neither did Zhao Yeqing.

This fresh pepper rabbit dish is filled with enough young ginger, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns, sauteed in oil until fragrant. The Sichuan peppercorns are green Sichuan peppercorns collected by Mu Xi. The wild ones are very fragrant and come in small buds. It will not fall apart when you eat it, so you can avoid accidentally biting it when hiding it in the meat.

It's a pity that the quantity of chili peppers is not enough. The chili peppers are not too spicy and have a strong flavor. They should be more than the rabbit meat, and they will be fragrant enough after being stir-fried.

But it didn't matter, she hadn't eaten such heavy food for a long time, and she still looked satisfied.

Just eat spicy vegetables, the home-grown millet is even spicier, Zhao Yeqing wiped his tears while eating.
