I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Cheng Jingwei was surprised: "Snail? What are you doing picking that up?"

It's no wonder he didn't understand, the snails here are all over the water and few people will eat them.

This is an era when supplies are not sufficient. Everyone has worked so hard for a whole year that they may not have much surplus food. They don't like to eat things like snails that are troublesome to clean up, taste ordinary and have little meat.

Of course Luo Shixing understood what he meant. After throwing the snail into the bamboo tube and giving some water to raise the sand, he muttered, "No matter how small the snail is, it's still meat."

Don't care about the meat, his mouth is watering now when he thinks of the word meat.

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei laughed and shook his head and didn't want to worry about it anymore. Anyway, Luo Shixing would know why everyone didn't eat after cooking.

Escargot must be properly seasoned and requires a lot of salt. It is not so easy for ordinary people to eat salt. Some poor people even pickle the cloth with salt, and then lick the cloth before eating. Thin porridge, this can last for a long time.

Although they can't reach this point now, it's impossible to use all the salt to make snails.

There is no seasoning to help, and the snail itself has a muddy smell. I really don’t want to eat a second bite after one bite.

This is all Cheng Jingwei's experience. I think it's not that he didn't think about these things when he was very hungry, but it took a lot of energy to clean up these things and he couldn't make him full, so naturally he wouldn't continue.

After Luo Shixing put the bamboo tube aside, he said worriedly, "We only have one bucket in our house, it's not enough."

Even if he and Cheng Jingwei don't ask for quality of life, do they need a sink for washing their faces?You can't use one bucket for fetching water and one for washing clothes, right?

Cheng Jingwei said very simply: "Don't worry, I'll make two later."

Luo Shixing's eyes widened: "You know all this?"

Cheng Jing smiled and said nothing, as long as he can do anything that can be done by hand, after all, it saves money to do it by himself, and the bamboo on the mountain does not cost money.

However, he originally thought that Luo Shixing would ask some questions, which was incredible given his background.

In the end, what he didn't expect was that Luo Shixing still didn't ask, but cleaned up the place where the fire pit used to be in the house, and threw in the shrubs that had been dug out before and dried them into dry wood to prepare for the fire.

Cheng Jingwei observed Luo Shixing carefully, and found that the other party was not surprised. He was really curious. Children of this age generally don't understand what is proper. When they meet those who don't understand, they basically just ask casually. This child is not ordinary.

So he asked a little tentatively: "Do you think that what I know is unusual?"

Luo Shixing coughed twice and said, "What's unusual? This is your personal hobby. Don't worry, don't care what others say, just be happy yourself, not to mention it's very practical now. Change it to another one." People who don’t know these things are afraid that they will not be able to live on.”

Well, Luo Shixing also knew that Cheng Jingwei's original background could not allow him to do these handicrafts, that's what a craftsman would do.

If there is no pressure in life and it is not a family inheritance, then of course it is my hobby.

This is not unusual. Didn’t you see that there was a carpenter emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and the courtier Shanhu Longsui could be changed to "Wooden Bird Flying".

Luo Shixing reckoned that Cheng Jingwei's hobby may also have been under a lot of pressure, which can be regarded as deviant in this era.

The status of craftsmen is very low. Although the status of businessmen is also low, they are rich anyway, and craftsmen have nothing.

He couldn't use the Ming Dynasty emperor as an example to explain to Cheng Jingwei, so he could only comfort him. This hobby is quite good, wouldn't it come in handy?

Seeing Luo Shixing trying to comfort him, Cheng Jingwei could not help laughing. He never expected that Luo Shixing would understand in this direction.

However, it was a mistake, and it saved him from explaining things like rebirth to Luo Shixing.

After Luo Shixing managed to light the fire, he heard Cheng Jingwei calling him, "This is for you."

As soon as he looked up, he saw Cheng Jingwei pushing a bamboo chair here.

The bamboo chair was not high, about the height of a low stool, but it was so delicately made that it even had a back.

Luo Shixing looked surprised: "Wow, is this for me?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "The bamboo chair before was broken, and I can't make such a big one now, so I'll give you a small one to sit on."

Luo Shixing immediately trotted over to take the bamboo chair and said, "This is very good, how can you say it's a job."

The surface of the bamboo chair is smooth, even if there are no bamboo thorns on the joints, it can be seen that Cheng Jingwei's craftsmanship is not to mention very careful.

Luo Shixing said happily: "Just wait, I will definitely get you something good to eat later."

"Okay." Cheng Jingwei coaxed him with a good temper, but didn't take this matter to heart.

Luo Shixing was just squatting when he started the fire, and now he finally has a stool. He is even more happy. He sat by the fire and began to sort out the things he brought back. He picked the peppercorns from the branches and said, "I saw a lot of plantains on the road today. , After the plantains are ripe, they should be edible, by the way, I remember that plantain flowers seem to be edible too, but unfortunately they are too tall for me to reach."

Cheng Jingwei was not surprised that he could find these things, and said casually: "That thing is not worth eating, are you picking pepper?"

Luo Shixing responded: "Yes, I never expected to find peppercorns and ginger."

Cheng Jing frowned slightly and said, "I heard people say that fresh peppercorns are not easy to store."

As for how to deal with it, he doesn't know. He has never made things like peppercorns and ginger by himself, so this is also a knowledge blind spot.

Luo Shixing put the prickly ash in a clay pot and put it on the fire and said with a smile, "Then just dry it."

There is no technical content in this, but it takes a lot of patience, it takes a long time and people need to keep watching.

Luo Shixing handed the bark of the big-leaf mallow to Cheng Jingwei and said, "I remember this can be made into a rope. You can see if this can replace the bamboo thread. Otherwise, it will be too difficult for you to weave a fence. If it is not enough, I will go back Get some, there's a huge area over there!"

Cheng Jing slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know?"

He found that Luo Shixing also seemed to have something incompatible with his identity. For example, he knew that banana flowers could be eaten, that the bark of this tree could be used to make ropes, and even recognized ginger.

You must know that ginger is the root of a plant. It is difficult for ordinary people to see it from the leaves of the plant without digging it out. Judging from the things Luo Shixing brought back, he should also have a purpose. I can do it, but it is unlikely that I will search all the places to find it, and I don't have enough time.

In other words, the young boy recognized this kind of thing when he saw the branches and leaves on the ground.

Luo Shixing paused for a moment, with a slightly guilty expression on his face. Fortunately, he lowered his head to organize his things so as not to show off in front of Cheng Jingwei.

This...he is really hard to explain.

In the end, he had no choice but to say, "From the book."

Cheng Jingwei didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just asked, "Then how did you recognize Jiang?"

Luo Shixing said, "I planted it before."

Although it was before passing through, but this is not the point.

Cheng Jing lowered his eyes slightly and said: "So that's the case." After he finished speaking, he added: "I'm just curious."

He didn't know why he would explain, logically speaking, he shouldn't need to care whether Luo Shixing would be dissatisfied, even if he was dissatisfied that the young man was not stupid, he would not leave him.

It's just that Luo Shixing raised his head and smiled at him and said calmly: "It's okay, you can ask whatever you want, we will be roommates for a long time."

The situation between the two of them is a bit complicated. They can only stick together and trust each other when they are surrounded by alien races. If there is a rift due to concealment, they will fight alone. Even if they can't die, they will not live very soon better off.

What's more, besides the time travel itself, Luo Shixing has no other secrets and doesn't need to hide it, so he can answer Cheng Jingwei's questions.

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei looked at Luo Shixing thoughtfully.

This little boy always surprised him in some ways. If you say he is smart, he doesn't seem to be that perceptive; if you say he is stupid, he is very transparent.

While thinking, he breathed a sigh of relief like an ordinary teenager: "That's great, I'm afraid you won't be happy if you ask too many questions."

Luo Shixing tilted his head: "There's nothing to be happy about."

As he spoke, he cleaned out the ginger, and then turned his head to turn over the peppercorns that were roasting.

As the clay pot continues to heat up, the Sichuan peppercorns also emit a strong flavor.

Not only that, but its skin began to crack slowly, and the black seeds stored in it were gradually exposed. As the temperature got higher and higher, the skin became more and more dry, and finally burst open to eject the seeds inside.

The crackling of peppercorns produced a slight popping sound, but this sound was quickly covered by another sound—the sky outside became darker and darker, the mountain wind became stronger, and white lightning occasionally illuminated the sky outside. The world, thunder will follow.

Luo Shixing was certainly no stranger to the sound of thunder, but he never knew that the sound of thunder was so exaggerated. When the deep and cracking sound came over, he even felt the ground and the house shake.

He put down the bamboo that he was playing with peppercorns and stood up a little uneasy and looked out.

The windows of this room are also made of bamboo. During the day, they are propped up for light, but now they are put down to avoid rain. In the room, only some light can faintly pass through the gaps between the bamboo slices. Luo Shixing can see it even when he leans over. The situation outside.

The bamboo forest in the distance was shaking from side to side by the wind. In fact, not only the bamboo forest, but their house was also shaking.

Looking outside, he felt his heart beating faster, and he felt a little scared.

Fortunately, there was a fire in the house, so he quickly went back and turned the peppercorns again. The temperature of the flames made his heart calm, but he still couldn't help but look out.

Cheng Jingwei looked at him fidgeting and asked, "Are you afraid?"

How could Luo Shixing say he was afraid?Cheng Jingwei looked calm, how could he be afraid?

So he was sitting on the bamboo chair, trying hard to pretend that nothing had happened, but his slightly tense body and the posture of being able to run at any time in danger betrayed him.

The author has something to say:

Luo Shixing: Brave cat, not afraid of thunder!
