I am old in the Han Dynasty

Xiao Qi hurriedly hugged Xie Lang's arm, "Third Lord, sit down quickly. I said I'll fill the rice, so you have to be brave. It wasn't because I was quick, you fell down. Such a big man, why is he so disobedient?"

Xie Lang looked at the broken eggshells on the bowl and the fingerprints on the steamed buns, frowned and wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that these words sound familiar.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he said it all.

This little brat has a really good memory.

"Little Seven—"

"Third Master, sit down and talk." Xiao Qi interrupted him and pulled him out.

Xie Lang supported the stove to stand firm, broke away the child's hand, and took his arm, "You have to wash your face and hands too." Pointing to his dark fingers, "How can you get steamed buns without washing your hands? I'm going to brush my teeth." .By the way, have you brushed your teeth yet?"

Xiao Qi shook her head subconsciously, "Forgot."

Xie Lang didn't want to ask immediately, "Did you wash your hands while cooking?"

He doesn't seem to wash his hands.He also seems to have visited the latrine before cooking.

Xiao Qi looked up at Xie Lang, "Third Master..." What should I do, I can't eat the food he cooked so hard.

"Go wash your hands, I'll see if you can still eat." Xie Lang said.

Xiao Qi had a bitter face, "Master, I didn't do it on purpose."

"I know. You are not proficient at doing it the first time. I will recover from illness tomorrow, and I will teach you a few times so I won't forget it." Xie Lang said.

Xiao Qi asked anxiously, "Aren't you angry? Third Master."

"Don't be angry. I know Xiaoqi is a good boy." Xie Lang stroked his little head, "Let's go together."

Xiao Qi handed him his hand.Seeing that his hands were black, he hastily retracted them.

Xie Lang grabbed his arm, "Let's go."

After washing up in the yard, Xie Lang took out the steamed bun, pointed at the five gray finger prints on it, "Whose one's?"

Xiao Qi's face turned red all of a sudden, "... mine." After a pause, he hesitated, "Throw it away?"

"If we throw it away, we won't have anything to eat." Xie Lang was glad that he made steamed buns every few days, and the steamed buns at home never ran out.If it is replaced by noodles, there is really nothing to eat.

Xie Lang took off the skin of the buns and put them on the chopping board, then dumped the eggs in the bowl into the basin.

"Third Master, that's ours." Xiao Qi quickly reminded, "I made the basin for Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang."

Xie Lang pointed at the eggs, "When you cook, you need to beat the eggs into egg liquid." The bowl was very clean, and Xie Lang didn't wash the dishes, so he took four eggs from the cabinet and beat them into two bowls respectively, and mixed them well. In addition to adding a little salt water, "This can make egg custard. Didn't you notice that your egg custard is different from mine?"

Xiao Qi nodded, "I saw it. I thought it was because I was unskilled and didn't do it well."

"It's not that you're unskilled, it's that I didn't teach you." Xie Lang smiled, "I'll teach you once, and you'll be able to do it next time."

Xiao Qi looked up at him, "Can I cook for you tomorrow?"

"Then I'll light a fire for Xiao Qi." Xie Lang said.

Xiaoqi smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Xie Lang put the drawer in the pot, broke apart the steamed buns, put a little lard, sprinkled some crushed salt, and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Eat it."

"Third Master lit the fire, I will eat with one hand and light the fire with the other, and Third Master will eat instead?" Xiao Qi said after taking it.

Xie Lang couldn't help feeling, "Xiao Qi has grown up."

"I've grown up a long time ago." Xiao Qi stood up after speaking.

He said this a lot.However, Xiao Qi's age was later in the first grade, so Xie Lang always acted like a child and said big things, and didn't take it to heart.

"I found out today." Xie Lang said with a smile while eating steamed buns, "This year I will teach you how to cook porridge and steam eggs. Make something to eat first."

Xiaoqi: "Make some for the third master too."

"I know Xiaoqi won't forget me." Xie Lang finished eating the steamed buns in his hand, then mixed the eggs and steamed bun skins in the bowl and poured them into the bowls of Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang.

After eating three, the egg custard is also ready.Xie Lang and Xiao Qi were full after eating the egg custard.

Xie Lang learned that the child forgot to wash the chestnut rice when cooking the porridge, so he poured out the whole porridge for the three to drink.Then he sent the rabbit skin to Xie Bowen's house and asked Xie Bowen to sell it for him.

Coming out of Xie Guang's house, Xie Lang waved his hand when he saw all the children in the village running over. He was sick and his martial arts class was suspended for three days.

The big and the small cheered happily, called Xiao Qi, and went straight to the school.

Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang ate two rabbits yesterday, and they were not full at all.After the porridge was finished, the three big lazy guys were comfortable, so they lay down in the yard to bask in the sun, not to mention hunting in the mountains.

Xie Lang came in and saw that the three of them were more comfortable than the other, and he cursed in his heart, I want you to be more comfortable for a while.

Having said that, Xie Lang was fed half a bowl of thick isatid root by Xiao Qi, his head didn't sink, his body didn't feel sore, he fed the donkey and took him out, then went to clean the stables.

After tidying up the inside and outside of the house, Xie Lang was sweating all over, so if he didn't want to move, he just got some green grass from the map of mountains and rivers to feed the little lamb.Xie Lang suddenly remembered something, something he had ignored.

Xie Lang searched through the entire map of Jiangshan, tired and had a headache, and found a handful of alfalfa seeds.Xie Lang called Hou Ge, Hu Zi and Xiao Lang together.

With a bucket in his left hand and seeds in his right hand, he went to the back of the house, raised his hand at the three of them, and pointed to the mountain in the southeast.

The three guys who are not hungry don't want to.

Xie Lang stared at Brother Monkey.

Brother Hou couldn't stare at him, was defeated, and reluctantly led the tiger and the little wolf to hunt on the mountain.

Xie Lang sprinkled two buckets of water on the open space between the house and the wheat field, sprinkled the alfalfa seeds on it, and went back to sleep.

Dazedly hearing the sound of the door opening, Xie Lang sat up and saw Xiao Qi came back.

"It's noon?" Xie Lang rubbed the corner of his eyes and asked.

Xiaoqi nodded, "I will cook whatever the third master wants to eat."

Xie Lang's hands froze in mid-air, and seeing the child was very serious, "Wait a minute. Your Brother Hou led the tiger and the little wolf up the mountain. Whatever the three of them hit, we will eat."

"I'm going to write?" Xiao Qi even wanted to go out to play for a while, he was worried that Xie Lang would be angry, so he didn't dare to say it.

Xie Lang nodded, "Let's write. When you go out to play in the afternoon after you finish writing, you don't have to think about the words you haven't written yet."

"Aren't you going up the mountain in the afternoon?" Xiao Qi hurriedly asked.

Xie Lang shook his head, "The lamb is full. Let's go tomorrow."

Xiao Qi just wanted to grin.The corner of his mouth moved, he pursed his lips in a hurry, turned around and went to the east living room, "I'm writing."

Xie Lang nodded and smiled, went out to get some air, and asked Xie Guang to go up the tree to pick mulberries.

Seeing that his shoes were covered with mud, Xie Lang couldn't help asking, "You didn't go to school today?"

"My mother said that the school was not as old as me, so she didn't ask me to go. It happens that my house is building, and I know the characters taught by the master, so I don't want to go again." Xie Guang said, looking at Xie Lang, "Uncle Sanlang thinks Should I go?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "I think it's useless, mainly because of what you think. Are you seventeen or eighteen this year?"

"It will be eighteen in four months." Xie Guang said.

Xie Lang: "It's time to serve in the military in two years. If you memorize the characters taught by your master and make things out of beans, you should be assigned to the kitchen when you serve."

"Being a cook?" Xie Guang shook his head, "I don't want to be a cook."

Xie Lang said with a smile: "Being a cook will give you enough food, less training, and you don't have to be on duty at night." Then he added, "You can write and count, and you may be assigned to the warehouse as a small official."

"So good?" Xie Guang couldn't help asking, "Wang Gongzi said?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "I'm guessing. There are very few in the army who can write and count. Many people have become petty officials, or have been soldiers for many years and have money, so they learn to read from the master."

Xie Guang was moved, "After I do a good job, I will find out what my master taught me and write it from scratch."

"Yes." Xie Lang pointed at the tree, "Go up."

Xie Guang climbed up the tree in twos and twos, broke off a mulberry branch and threw it to Xie Lang. Xie Lang saw that he landed safely and took the branch to find Xiaoqi.

Seeing Mulberry's bright eyes, Xiao Qi asked anxiously, "The third master gave it to me?"

Xie Lang nodded, "Continue writing. I'll pick it off for you."

"Thank you, Third Master." Xiao Qi grinned happily.

After about a stick of incense, Xie Lang picked off all the mulberries and asked the child to wash his hands.

"Third Master, come out quickly."

Xie Langji pulled his shoes and walked out, "What's wrong?"

"Look at three of them."

Xie Lang looked at the child's fingers, and there was a lone hare in the large earthen basin where the meat was washed, "Who caught it?"

"I don't know. But the little wolf put it in." Xiaoqi pointed to Brother Hou and Huzi, "I think the little wolf caught it. They are the laziest, especially Brother Monkey. I taught it to make a fire and it didn't learn. I asked it to watch the fire for me this morning, and it ran into the house to sleep. Third master, don’t cook Huzi and Brother Hou’s meal at noon.”

Xie Lang nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Divide the rabbit into two, keep one half for us to cook and eat, and stew the other half for the little wolf to eat."

"I'll help the third master light the fire." Xiao Qi went to the kitchen with the bowl in hand.

Xie Lang cleaned up the rabbit and divided it into two from the rabbit's belly.Throw the half of the rabbit's head into a clay pot, and chop the half of the hind legs into small pieces and braise them in an iron pan.

Xie Lang helped Xiao Qi light the fire, Xiao Qi sat in the middle of the two stoves, watching the two fires, Xie Lang mixed the noodles, planning to make dough cakes.

Seeing Xiao Qi looking east and west for a while, Xie Lang couldn't help but say, "If you're too busy, let's burn the iron pot first."

"I can do it." Xiao Qi stood up as he spoke, Xie Lang was about to ask him what he was doing when he saw him running in with a few pieces of wood, "Master, leaves and straw are not easy to burn. Let's not burn leaves and straw in the future." Straw."

Xie Lang smiled and said: "But the leaves are easy to light. What did you use to light the firewood in the morning?"

"……Leaves."

Xie Lang: "It's not that I don't want you to burn firewood. Burn all the firewood now, and there will be no more firewood in rainy days."

"You can chop again."

Xie Lang lifted the lid of the pot, "When will the wheat straw and bean straw be burned? If we don't burn it all before the busy season, there will be no place to put the wheat straw and bean straw we got back." Pointing to the west, "The outside of the wall is full. Don't use firewood for the three of them to cook."

"Okay." Xiao Qi pursed her lips and couldn't help sniffing, "It smells so good."

Xie Lang put the pancakes on the side of the pot, covered the pot, "Simmer slowly on low heat. Otherwise, the pancakes will be burnt."

"Is the third master teaching me how to cook?"

Xie Lang was taken aback for a moment, seeing the child's eyes full of curiosity, "Yes."

In future generations, Xie Lang probably wouldn't say that.Because it is a restaurant when you go out.Even if Xiaoqi graduated from elementary school, as long as he works hard, he can support himself.But it's different here, as big as natural disasters and man-made disasters, as small as colds and colds can kill people.

In Xie Lang's view, teaching Xiaoqi to survive is far more important than learning literature and martial arts.But considering that Xiao Qi is still young, Xie Lang never mentioned the word "survival".

"In the future, if you want to stew chicken, you should stew it like this." Xie Lang continued.

Xiao Qi said earnestly: "I wrote it down." Feeling the room darken, he turned his head and saw Brother Hou, Hu Zi and Xiao Lang blocking the door, "Third Master, what should I do?"
