Infrastructure maniacs from the East

There are three siu mai on the table.

It is obviously not my mother's handicraft. After all, my mother does not know how to make high-end snacks such as siu mai. If she is exhausted, she just makes glutinous rice balls and wraps dumplings. The dumpling skins are still the kind that have to be bought from outside.

But they do look delicious.

The slightly transparent white leather is wrapped with brown glutinous rice, with a little bit of mushrooms faintly exposed at the corners. It is only slightly bigger than a ping-pong ball, and it is constantly emitting white gas with the fragrance of rice. There are beautiful wrinkles on the skin, which makes people feel Involuntarily want to swallow saliva.

Xu Tian turned back to the kitchen and took out a pair of the most common wooden chopsticks, picked up a piece of siu mai accurately, and carefully bit down towards the edge. It didn't have the juice like a steamed stuffed bun, but it was another kind of sticky delicacy. .

The glutinous rice is very chewy, and the bitten-off dough and the diced mushrooms just neutralize the slight greasyness that came from nowhere, and the slight pain from the tip of the tongue, which stimulated Xu Tian's appetite is obviously a young man who has no meat and no joy, and the vegetarian siu mai is also happy to eat a few mouthfuls...

Wait, boy?

Xu Tian pinched the last siu mai chopsticks and froze in mid-air. He finally realized that something was wrong—he was obviously a girl who was completely fake, why did he suddenly change her gender? !

"Whoosh..."

In the middle of the night, Lord Xu suddenly jumped up on the bed with a carp, which alarmed the night watchmen to come to inquire. Xu Tian waved him wearily to let him go down, but he was still a little dazed.

"Why didn't you dream for a while longer?"

Yes, Lord Xu, who has returned to his senses, has realized that it was just a dream before, feeling a little disappointed as he touched his stomach still filled with boiled eggs, not knowing why he suddenly dreamed that he was eating, but Lost in the dream was too short, and he woke up without seeing his family.

"At least let me finish that siu mai."

Xu Tian has always been open-minded, otherwise he would have been depressed after discovering the harsh conditions here. Although he regretted not seeing his relatives, he could quickly accept the fact, and then thought of the last one that came to his lips The siu mai, after all, the family never showed up, but I already ate two siu mai, and the last one just slipped away...

Last night's gourmet dream gave Xu Tian too much stimulation, causing him to feel sick when he saw boiled eggs in water in the morning. At the same time, he was crazy about hot pot skewers, braised pork, fried vinegar meat, egg meatloaf soup, kelp ribs soup, crystal shrimp dumpling, egg fried rice water Boiled fish... However, he still can only accept the fact that currently only boiled eggs can be reassuring.

The most painful thing in the world is not that I love you but you love him, but that you know that you have already eaten the same food but still can only eat it.

By——from Xu Tian, ​​who was eating boiled eggs, hurriedly finished his breakfast today. Xu Tian pressed his throat to suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit. The cleaning day continued to move forward, and then I recalled my itinerary, and asked someone to go to the priest's room to inform the ordinary person from head to toe to bring the old man over.

Well, today is a big day.

Meler looked at his familiar family members. Although he hadn't seen him for a few days, he felt strange for no reason. Even the house he lived in was so unfamiliar. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but when he saw With a familiar smile, he stopped his steps, took a few deep breaths calmly, and finally walked carefully into the house where he had slept since childhood, but still subconsciously avoided his brother's hand grabbing his arm, the butler His eyes darkened, but he didn't show any strangeness.

The salt brought back made the whole family very happy, but Melelle just stood there stiffly and did not move. He has a father who is a housekeeper, so their family has two thatched huts, and the sleeping grass can be changed once a year. Heaps of pride in his family's wealth until he was taken to boil the salt, but after living in the castle he saw something he had overlooked.

The ground obviously hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and his mother has done her best just to take care of them. The color of the haystack where he used to sleep has turned into the color of dirt, and there are many small bugs playing happily on it. The pottery bowl was placed carefully, and there were suspicious water stains on it, not to mention the thatched grass with holes on the top of the head and the family members who had begun to pay attention to hygiene but could not see the effect for the time being.

How had he endured such a life in the past and was proud of it?

Meler was almost puzzled, his past life was as unreal as a dream, thinking that he had lived in such an environment for more than ten years, dense goosebumps appeared on his back.

This is not right.

Merrell knew.

But he really couldn't help himself.

In the era when pepper was more important than gold and salt than silver, Xu Tian attached great importance to the production of salt. Although he knew that sanitary conditions would not have much impact on salt, Lord Xu, who is obsessed with cleanliness, did not want to eat dirt while eating salt and bugs, so the hygiene of the three of Melelle can be said to be the best except for Xu Tian and the two knights.

Not to mention the several bars of soap used on the three of them and the hairstyles that were forcibly turned into short cuts, even Xu Tian in the corners of the room forced the servants to scald them several times with boiling water. There were countless insects, and three servants were burned.

Did you think this was over?In the name of time traveler, Xu Tian told everyone that they were so innocent and cute—the sleeping straw was poured into a pot and boiled in boiling water, then put it next to the fire to dry, and finally placed it carefully in the corner, leaning against the wall A row of jars, most of which were filled with water, even the two female slaves had their own pottery bowls and a pair of wooden chopsticks that had been thoroughly sterilized, and they were required to use them when eating.

Debris such as plant ash and pebbles must not stay for a long time. After use, boil water to sterilize and put it down in a fixed place. After cleaning all this, you must wash your hands. Some people use water with strange plants (bamboo, lice) in the early morning. Washing their hair for them, changing the jars in the house regularly, keeping the floor and walls clean at all times, washing their feet in the morning and changing their clothes every two days at night, these are all insignificant in comparison.

Merrell has always felt that doing these things is extremely troublesome, but since he has no and no way to change jobs, he just does it very awkwardly, and the result... just look at the current situation.

"You come out with me."

When his eldest son avoided his mother for the seventh time, the housekeeper finally spoke. His youngest son looked at them curiously with wide eyes, but was easily persuaded by the housekeeper with a few words.

"Go ahead."

The son's rejection of the family is too obvious. Although it has been tried to cover up, it still can't hide it. The housekeeper vaguely knows some reasons, but it still needs to be verified before it can be truly confirmed, and different actions will be taken according to the actual situation.

"I don't know what to say..."

Meler didn't hide his father's intentions, but he really didn't know how to speak, and where to speak was more appropriate, and the butler was best at grasping people's hearts, especially for the children he had seen growing up since he was a child, and communicating with them It's not as difficult as eating mush, and it's easy for Merrell to say everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

"You go back first."

The butler had already prepared for Melaire's life in the castle, but the lord's behavior was beyond his expectations, especially when his son turned around him—the body had scars and also had scars on it. He suffered from a lot of skin diseases, but it was extremely clean, which made the housekeeper feel inexplicably inferior. He never said what he kept in his heart. In the end, he could only dryly let his son go back quickly, and then stared at his hands in a daze.

He also washes his hands every day, and the skin disease caused by dirt has healed up a lot, not much different from his son's, but the garlic soap given by the lord is too precious, so far he has only washed it once bath, but even a man who loved cleanliness like him looked filthy compared to his son.

The housekeeper's wife has already prepared dinner, and the production of clay pots has given the housekeeper class a container for cooking. The housekeeper sighed and returned to the house. Looking at the skin around him that was covered in dirt, he lost his voice for a while. Well, in the end, only three of the four people ate the dinner. The wife was obviously a little disappointed, but the butler couldn't do anything about it. After all, even if Melelle stayed, he probably wouldn't eat it.

Halfway through the sunset, the housekeeper was still sitting outside, not knowing what he was thinking about. His wife didn't bother him, and carefully put his youngest son to sleep, and then packed up his things as quietly as possible.

clean...water...garlic...soap...

The butler didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes reflected only half of the sunset, and his whole body was like a frozen statue, obviously the grade was not too big, but fatigue brought vicissitudes prematurely.

A flash of inspiration flashed across the brain, like a thread connecting all the incomprehensible things. The housekeeper couldn't help shaking, but his wife was still working in the almost dark home, and he didn't stop the seemingly abnormal situation in time. housekeeper.

Water brings cleanliness, garlic soap drives away demons, life and the lord tell him, and the steward worships it as truth, and obeys it, but today's children have no bedbugs, no lice in their hair, no lice on their skin. There are still many small bumps, still only wrapped in a small piece of cloth when going to the castle, but it looks like a clean lord.

The man was breathing quickly, he was getting closer to the truth, but the fear in his heart was greater than the joy, his wife still didn't come out, the housekeeper could only helplessly stop his brain from spinning out, but it was a pity that everything was useless, the truth was out As clear as the surface of still water.

The Lord said that cleanliness brings sickness...but it is dirt that really brings demons...

The author has something to say: Siu Mai is Brother Yan’s dinner, it’s so delicious (suck).

You can guess why the butler has such an idea (actually, Brother Yan really can't think of a reason).
