Married a scholar

▍Bamboo tube rice.

In the evening, Meng Yining drank another tube of healing potion, warming and nurturing the crystal nucleus was a long process.What's more, his crystal nucleus and his soul are still fused together, so the progress of treatment is even slower.

Rather than saying that he is nurturing the crystal nucleus now, it is better to say that he is nurturing the soul.

The progress of the treatment was too slow, so that the mutated animal meat and mutated vegetables and fruits in his space could not be eaten, and all he could eat were ordinary fruits, vegetables and meat in the space.

The energy of the meat and fruits and vegetables of mutant beasts is fine for ordinary people, eating less will only benefit the body and not harm.

But for him whose soul is currently wounded, it is something that cannot be touched.

But you can take some out for Xia Wenze to eat.

Meng Yining was lying on the bed, listening to the movement in another room that was only one room away.

Xia Wenze seemed to be still asleep.

During this period of time, Xia Wenze had little time to read during the day.

Meng Yining yawned, thinking that after these two days of busy work, Xia Wenze would have more time to read and practice calligraphy.

A night without dreams.

Today is still a sunny day, between six o'clock and seven o'clock, the sun shines in through the gaps in the cloth curtains.

The little chickens in the main room also started chattering.

Meng Yining lay on the bed for a while before getting up.

Opening the curtain, the sun can't wait to break in.

Xia Wenze happened to come over with porridge, and saw him passing by the window, and said with a smile, "I'm going to wash up and have breakfast."

This person still got up early as usual.

Opening the door, Meng Yining glanced at the breakfast on the table.

Mung bean porridge, diced pickled carrots, scrambled eggs with kimchi, and two boiled eggs.

After setting the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Wenze went into the kitchen and extinguished the fire in the stove. "Wash your face with hot water."

"Understood." Meng Yining took a spoonful of hot water from the small pot and mixed it with cold water, "Go and eat, my cousin and the others will be here soon."

He didn't need to follow to help, he wanted to help deliver things yesterday, but Xia Wenze and the others drove him away, saying that he didn't need a little brother to do it, let him play.

Meng Yining had no choice but to take out the leftover leaves of the hemostatic vine.

Today, [-]% of the time, I don’t need to use myself. The mud is picked up from Xiaoqingshan and mixed with water.

As soon as Xia Wenze finished eating, Xia Wenli and Xia Wenyi came over, followed by a 16-year-old boy.

"Brother Jiutang." Looking at Xia Wenze, the young man was a little cautious.

"Little Twelve, are you done with the housework?" Xia Wenze wiped his mouth, told Meng Yining to eat slowly, and went out of the main room to help.

"It's over." Xia Wennan followed to the yard, not knowing what to do.The fourth cousin and the sixth cousin went to Xiaoqingshan to pick up mud, but they didn't tell him what to do.

"Does your mother know that you are coming?" Xia Wenze asked him to come over and help tear down the fence.

"I know." Xia Wennan followed to remove the fence, and his movements were quite fast.

"I heard from your father that you are not going to go to school anymore?" Xia Wenze piled up the dismantled bamboos, all of which could be used as firewood.

"Yeah." Xia Wennan said, "I don't have the talent to study, so I don't want to miss it anymore. In a few days, I will go to the town with my fourth cousin to find work."

"Fourth cousins ​​and the others do all physical work, can you do it?" Xia Wenze didn't look down on this twelfth cousin. The children in the countryside are used to doing farm work, so they have strength in their hands.

But Xiao Shier's body is thin, and he is not as tall as the fourth cousin and the sixth cousin.

And the fourth cousin and sixth cousin are doing hard work in the town, so it may be a bit difficult for Xiao Shishi's small body.

"I can." Xia Wennan said firmly.

Meng Yining had sharp eyes and ears, and the two of them didn't lower their voices when they spoke, so they could hear clearly.He couldn't help but look at the little boy a few more times.

The body is as thin as he is now, and he wants to follow the tall and burly fourth cousin to the town to find work?

He knew that the fourth cousin and the sixth cousin had never been to school, so he knew how to write his own name, but this little twelve had gone to school to study.

The children who have studied in the school in the village go out to find work, and they are basically the second class in the apprentice shop.There are few people who do hard work.

After eating and washing the pots and dishes, Meng Yining wore gloves to pull the unwanted bamboos to the bamboo forest behind.

After a while, the yard will be built with walls and mixed with mud.

"Be careful not to get scratched by the bamboo." Xia Wenze didn't stop him from helping with the work, but he was worried that he would accidentally get scratched by the bamboo.

"Understood. You two should also be careful." After a few rounds, the fence was finally removed.

The fourth cousin and sixth cousin also picked up a lot of sticky soil back and forth.

Xia Wenze told the location of the wall to be built. He had already told the village chief when he went to the fourth cousin for help that day.

This side, especially the area around his house, is actually within the scope of the homestead.

He just needs to tell the village chief that when the wall is finished, the village chief will come to measure how much house land is used and give the money.

He had already discussed with Ning Ge'er to expand the courtyard wall, preferably to include the small vegetable garden he opened.

In the middle of the morning, Meng Yining brought out the hot water from the pot and poured some sugar into it.

"Fourth cousin, sixth cousin, little twelve, come over and drink some water to rest."

Meng Yining brought a bowl of water to Xia Wenze and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." After drinking the water, Xia Wenze took the handkerchief he handed over and wiped his face.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, all this work is hard work, and the face is naturally sweating.

Seeing that it was almost time, Meng Yining went into the kitchen to cook.

At noon today, he plans to make stir-fried pork belly with sauerkraut, stewed bacon with carrots, mixed with a sliced ​​bamboo shoots, and fried shredded white radish.

The rice is still multigrain rice.

After lunch, in the afternoon Meng Yining was still sitting at the door of the main room scraping off the hemostatic vine powder.

It was almost three o'clock, Meng Yining heard that the bamboo forest in the back was quite lively, and the voices were those of children.

He moved his neck and looked at Xia Wenze and the others.

The wall was almost finished, Meng Yining took a look at the section of the wall that had been built, and his gaze wandered around the bare top of the wall.

Should he cut some bamboo slices and insert them?

The fence is quite high, but there is nothing on it. If someone wants to climb up and turn into the yard, it is still very simple.

As soon as he thought of it, Meng Yining walked towards the bamboo forest with a machete, and took a look at what the children in the village were doing here.

"Yo, Yisheng, what are you doing?" Meng Yining quietly came to a few little carrot heads squatting in a circle, watching them dig a hole in the bamboo forest of his house.

"Ah, brother Aning." The children were taken aback, and when they saw him, they hurriedly greeted him.

"We're going to barbecue." The little fat man picked up a small basket beside him and showed it to him.

Meng Yining looked over and saw a banana leaf in the basket, on which was a piece of pork belly the size of a palm, bacon the size of a fist, and a little salt.Can't help laughing: "Whose family is this meat? Are you afraid of being beaten?"

I almost died laughing at this group of brats, most of the meat in this basket was taken from home.

One of the very handsome little boys raised his hand, "Brother Aning, I took the meat. Uncle is here today, so Aniang won't hit me."

"It's Feifei." The little boy's name is Xia Fei. He is a little brother. There are two male brothers on him. It was that elder brother, who was as old as him, who was supposed to get married last year, but who knew that the other groom's grandfather passed away, and he had to keep mourning for three years.

Xia Fei's uncle is a scholar, his mother and his uncle have been siblings since they were young, and that uncle loves these nephews very much.No wonder he was so bold today and dared to steal meat from home.

Meng Yining said: "The barbecue like this is not delicious at all."

"how come?"

"I had a barbecue once in town, and it was delicious."

The children all looked at Meng Yining. In their opinion, as long as it was meat, it was delicious no matter how it was cooked.

"Wait." Meng Yining raised his eyebrows, and took a machete to chop a piece of bamboo. Under the doubts of a few little guys, he chopped off a piece of bamboo, and then went to the yard to fetch water to wash the bamboo bucket. Now, I went to get some rice again and brought it in a bowl.

"Come on, bring the meat and wash it."

Xia Fei washed the pork belly and bacon in a bucket, then looked at Meng Yining again.

Meng Yining used a small dagger to cut the washed pork belly and bacon into thin slices on the banana leaves, then mixed them with the washed rice, and mixed in a little of the salt they brought.

He sprinkled a little bit of the pepper powder he brought over into it.

Then, under the sight of several small radishes, stuffed the stirred meat and rice into the cleaned bamboo bucket.

"Go, find some dead branches." Meng Yining directed the little guys to work.

A few little guys immediately ran to pick up a pile of dry branches.

Meng Yining threw some branches into the hole they dug, put the bamboo bucket in, and finally put a layer of dry branches on top.Only then did the fire be lit under a few pairs of curious eyes.

"Okay, watch the fire. When I tell you to turn off the fire, you all turn off the fire. Then the meat in the bamboo bucket will be ready."

That's right, what Meng Yining cooks is rice in bamboo tubes. In the apocalypse, when he and his brother went out to collect supplies, they often cooked and ate them.

Of course, the bamboo barrels are prepared in advance, and the meat and rice are also seasoned in advance.

When you spend the night outside, just turn on the fire and warm yourself while waiting for the rice in bamboo tubes to cook.

Today, I saw a few little guys' simple and rude behavior of grilling meat. I remembered this and couldn't help but get involved.

"Okay, brother Aning." Several little guys stared at the fire seriously, seeing him cutting bamboo beside him, they couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother Aning, what are you doing?"

The author says:

I remember when I was a kid, kids in a village liked that.You get rice, I get meat, and he gets salt. In short, you have to produce something if you want to eat. If you can’t produce something, you have to work harder while making bamboo rice.

Have fun.

good night ^_^
