The processed medicinal materials are packed into sacks and placed in a high place to avoid moisture.It was rare for Gu Fengyan to get up early the next day, rubbing his misty eyes and leaving the bedroom when the sun reached the top of the mountain.

"Why are you up, it's still early, why don't you sleep for a while?" Father Huo sat on the courtyard ridge, weaving a basket with green bamboo strips.

The ground is already tired, and the bamboo strips are criss-crossed, compact and beautiful, and can be used to store food.

"I can't sleep anymore," Gu Fengyan smiled and leaned over to see Father Huo's skillful hands flying, "Daddy can do this, what a skillful hand."

Father Huo picked up a bamboo stick and added it in, "I thought you could use the mountain goods, so I just made up a few. When you get old, you can't be idle... There is food in the pot for you, we all After eating, wash your face and eat quickly."

Gu Fengyan agreed, but didn't see Huo Duan, and asked again, "Brother Duan went to the field?"

"There are still a few pieces of land that have not been cleared. It happened that you Dashan brother was idle today, so I asked to help with the clearing... Lunch is still early, and I will send some of the steamed cakes I bought at noon, and ask them to fill it up first." Pad the stomach." Father Huo said.

Gu Fengyan thought for a while, and decided to be fine today, so he said, "Father, give me this errand. I happened to pick some mint leaves yesterday, and made tea for them to send to them. It can relieve some heat in a hot day."

Seeing that he cherishes Huo Duan, Father Huo is naturally happier than anything else, "Okay, brother Yan is thoughtful, remember to wear a straw hat, so you don't suffer from heat stroke."

Gu Fengyan repeatedly agreed.The corn porridge in the pot is served in a ceramic bowl, and there is a plate of cold toon sprouts on the side.He ate quickly, cleaned the dishes and was tired on the chopping board.

The weather is so good, Gu Fengyan intends to take out all the quilts to dry in the sun, Mr. Huo helped him set up a bamboo pole between the peach and jujube trees in the yard, and put all the quilts on it.

When tidying up the bedroom, Gu Fengyan saw Huo Duan and his dirty clothes again, so he took them and put them into the wooden basin to wash them with water, using saponin balls mixed with plant ash and saponin.

However, when Gu Fengyan grows so big, he always stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for meals, and he doesn't know how to wash clothes at all, rubbing and rubbing, the clothes are in balls.Father Huo took a few glances, then realized that he didn't know how to wash clothes, so he smiled and said:

"It's getting late, Brother Yan, go and deliver pancakes to Erdan and the others, and I'll wash the clothes while it's waiting."

Gu Fengyan was a little embarrassed, "Father, I will finish washing this soon, I will go after washing."

He was really ashamed to ask an old man Huo Adie to wash their clothes, so he quickly rubbed the clothes and hung them on the air.Father Huo didn't stop him, and planned to return to work secretly after Gu Fengyan left.

……

Peppermint dispels wind and heat, clears the head, and is most suitable for soaking in water in summer.Gu Fengyan took only the tender tips of the mint picked yesterday, washed it and put it in a water bottle made of Cizhu, boiled a pot of boiling water and poured it in.

The steamed cakes were cold and not soft enough to eat. While waiting for the boiling water to cool, Gu Fengyan picked up some Chinese toon sprouts and cut them into pieces, marinated them with oil and salt, cut open the cakes and put them in... It tastes better than eating white buns.

Putting everything into a rattan basket, when the sun was at its strongest, Gu Fengyan thought about it and put on a straw hat made of wheat straw.

"Father, I'm going." He told Father Huo before he carried the basket out the door.

Father Huo was disgusted by the sun, so he moved all the bamboo strips under the eaves, and told him, "They are probably in the river ditch. Be careful on the way, and come back when you deliver it."

"Oh." Gu Fengyan agreed, and closed the courtyard door again.

The sun was scorching hot on the skin, and Gu Fengyan's body was covered with red marks.

This kind of weather is suitable for eating something cold, such as watermelon. When I took wheat straw to boil water just now, I saw an open space behind the house, and the soil was very fertile.

Gu Fengyan planned to clean up the land after lunch, and go to the county to buy some vegetables and melons to plant, and there will be fresh vegetables to eat in a few months.

While thinking about it, he came to the edge of the river, and saw Huo Duan from afar, with a bitter face, weeding here and there behind Ye Shan.

The ground is dotted with star green, the sown wheat has germinated, and weeds have also grown.Weeds are tenacious, and they need to be hoeed in the sun, and they will not regenerate well if they are wilted in the sun.

"Brother Dashan, Brother Duan, I brought steamed cakes and water, you guys come and rest under the tree." Gu Fengyan walked under the big willow tree by the river, waving to the two of them.

Huo Duan greeted Ye Shan, threw away the hoe and went over, "It's drying like this, what are you doing here?"

"I'm wearing a hat." Gu Fengyan smiled and pointed to the straw hat on his finger, took out the Cizhu bottle from the rattan basket and gave it to Ye Shan first, "Brother Dashan, drink water."

Gu Fengyan has always been able to read people's faces, and he could tell from the very beginning that Ye Shan didn't like him very much.

Ye Shan is tall and strong, with an upright face, and he has no good face towards Gu Fengyan, a goblin brother who has always been ignorant, but today his idiot brother is here, so it is not easy to refute Gu Fengyan's face, so he took it and handed it over water bottle, and hummed coldly.

Opened it and took a few sips, savoring the taste for a long time, "What is this, it tastes cool and delicious."

"I went up the mountain yesterday, and I picked some mints when I saw them. Today I just used them to soak in water to cool off the heat..." Gu Fengyan said with a smile, and handed Ye Shan the toon pancakes he made, "Brother Dashan, There are steamed cakes here, you can eat them, but there are still more in the basket."

"Hey, I'll do it myself, you get it for Erdan." Ye Shan washed his hands in the river before taking a bite.

The steamed pancakes served with vegetables are also delicious. Although they are cold, they are much better than the ones his wife sent him when he went uphill.

Ye Shan didn't expect that Gu Fengyan's delicate appearance would waste these food, and seeing his silly younger brother's eyes glued to him, Gu Fengyan also graciously handed Huo Duan water to wipe his sweat, looking like a loving young couple.

In my heart, I also agree with Gu Fengyan, the sister-in-law.

"It's such a big sun, from now on it's fine to ask Erdan to do these things, we guys, it's nothing to suffer a little bit, don't expose you to the sun." Ye Shan finally smiled at Gu Fengyan.

Gu Fengyan was flattered and agreed again and again.Ye Shan saw that the two looked tired, so he took pancakes and water and sat on the sill, "Eat slowly, Erdan, I'll sit over there for a while."

"Oh, brother will call me later." Huo Duan said.

After Ye Shan left, Gu Fengyan dared to talk to Huo Duan, "I didn't realize that Mr. Huo is still a good hand at digging the ground."

Huo Duan took a sip of water, "If you don't know how to drive ducks, you have to pretend to be able to... This mint tea is quite delicious, do you want to drink it?"

Gu Fengyan was really a little thirsty, so he took a sip of it, it was refreshing and had the smell of mint toothpaste.

"It's pretty good." He took off his straw hat and fanned the wind, his snow-white cheeks and neck were red and dripping with blood.

"Don't take off your hat," Huo Duan put the hat on for him, somewhat distressed, "Your face is blushing, go back now, I'll bring the basket back this afternoon."

The sun is indeed getting late, Gu Fengyan thought about going back and still busy at home, so he tugged on Huo Duan's sleeves, and said with a smile, "Hard work Mr. Huo, come back for dinner early."

After talking to Ye Shan again, he left.

The spring bamboo shoots that were broken off yesterday are still piled up in the kitchen.When Gu Fengyan returned to the courtyard, he fetched water to wash his face before he began to pack the spring bamboo shoots. He picked about [-] catties of bamboo shoots and kept them for sale. The rest were dried and stored for hot pot in winter. Excellent; the other part is braised spring bamboo shoots this afternoon.

The shells of the bamboo shoots were very thick, and Gu Fengyan's cutting was jerky, and the knife trembled tremblingly. Huo's father was afraid, so he could only pull a small bench to help.

"Hand it carefully." Huo A'die slashed the tip of the knife along the direction of the bamboo shoot, picked off the bamboo shell, repeated the steps, and peeled a bamboo shoot in a few strokes.

Gu Fengyan responded and learned to do it, but gradually he also learned it.

The peeled bamboo shoots cannot be put into the pot directly, they must be blanched first to remove the bitterness.Father Huo lit a fire, and Gu Fengyan boiled a large pot of water, cut the bamboo shoots in half and poured them into the boiling water, boiled them for a while, then scooped them all up into a wooden basin filled with cold water.

The sun has already started to set, and Gu Fengyan is preparing for lunch. In addition to braised spring bamboo shoots, he also plans to make a dish of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon sprouts, and a dish of cold grass head.

The Chinese toon sprouts and grass heads are blanched in water, and the spring bamboo shoots only need to be picked up from the wooden basin and cut into sections. Today, Ye Shan is here, and instead of eating wheat mush, steam rice instead.Father Huo washes rice, Gu Fengyan cooks vegetables, and within half an hour, the rice is ready.

The meal was warm on the stove, the sun was setting outside, Gu Fengyan went out to collect the bedding in the bedroom, when Huo Duan and Ye Shan came back.

"Come back in time, the meal is just right. You can eat after washing your hands." Gu Fengyan took the basket from Huo Duan.

Father Huo took two benches and told them to sit and rest.

Huo Duan washed his hands and face, and helped Gu Fengyan put the quilt into the house together. Seeing the clothes he changed were hanging on the bamboo poles, he was a little embarrassed, "Young Master Gu helped me wash the clothes? How embarrassing is that?" , I’ll do it myself in the future.”

"I'm your husband in name, if I don't wash for you, if people know about it, it's time to poke my back..." Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan spread the quilt together, and said, "The clothes are not for nothing. Yes, I just took the firewood and found an open space behind the house, please trouble Mr. Huo to clean it up for me later."

Huo Duan nodded, "It's a big deal, but what do you want to do?"

"Go to the county to buy some vegetable and fruit seedlings and plant them later. It's convenient to eat." Gu Fengyan smiled, and found that he was very good at housekeeping, "I have to stay after Mr. Huo returns, so I have to make some plans."

Huo Duan nodded blankly, he hadn't thought about returning to the modern age for a long time, life seemed to suddenly become more comfortable, he should have forgotten it if Gu Fengyan didn't mention it.

"I'll clean up after dinner," he said.

After the sun went down, it became cooler, so Father Huo opened the courtyard door to let the wind blow in, and the rice was placed on the stone table under the peach tree.

One dish of braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, one dish of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon sprouts, one dish of cold grass head, four bowls of white rice, and four bamboo cups filled with mint tea.

"Dashan, try it quickly, this rice is all made by Brother Yan, there is not enough for the pot, I ask Er Dan to serve it for you." Father Huo always wanted to praise his daughter-in-law both openly and secretly.

The dishes on the table were dishes that Ye Shan had never seen before, and the aroma wafted into his nostrils, "Oh, uncle, you can eat too."

Ye Shan picked up a mouthful of spring bamboo shoots, it was delicious and tender, it was a taste he had never tasted before, before he only thought that Gu Fengyan was pampered and a duplicitous goblin, but he didn't expect to be able to cook, and his impression of him changed again Some.

Of course, Gu Fengyan didn't know, he was busy pouring mint tea for Huo Duan, taking advantage of Huo's father talking to Ye Shan, he whispered in his ear to ask Huo Duan to taste his dishes.

Father Huo and Ye Shan just smiled and said nothing, just buried their heads in cooking... It's natural that the husband and wife get along well, which makes people happy.
